Pitching Resilliency



    Resilliency is a term to state the ability to withstand vulnerability. This is where we can say that you can adapt to any misfortunes you may encounter in this lifetime.What is resilliency to Filipinos? Are we aware of this word? Do we recognize that being resillient makes Filipinos a 'Filipino'? 

When it comes to the term 'vulnerability' this may stand for the cons of being a Filipino or as we call it the downside as someone who is a Filipino. We can all say that Philippines is vulnerable when it comes to natural disasters, its political governance, and its economy. With all these vulnerabilities, it is indeed impossible to overcome it, considering that there are a lot of hindrances. 

The goal to a more resilient country starts with a brave and persistent leaders. A governance who knows what they are fighting for and knows who are they standing for will be for sure advantegous for all, as resilliency does not only stands for having a positive mindset rather this also stands for how prepared the country in facing vulnerabilities. 

Personally, towards a more resilient Philippines, Filipinos have to think and move as one. We have to think for everyone, we have to consider every aspects. Empathy is one of the key factors in achieving this. In order to think of a direct solution, we have to put ourselves in one's shoe.Unity is also one, it is given that everyone has their own perspective so we can't avoid any conflict, but if we all have one goal, that is enough for us to unite. Whether others have their own movement that they want to pursue. Another is having determination. It is indeed hard even just to accept how awful the situation but as long as we acknowledge that we are not alone, we are going to be just fine. 


We can all agree that these vulnerabilities that comes our way may just be a blessing in diguise to all. These bring many Filipinos together and as one. Furthermore, during times of mishaps, like in the times of typhoons for instance, Filipinos make sure that you are not facing this alone.They will try to help as long as they can still stand. As it happens, We, Filipinos, do dwell on the hardships that are bestowed upon us.Hence, we always find a way out of the labyrinth.

       To quote Taylor Swift “argumentative, anithetical dream girl” , I like to think of myself as a woman who knows what she wants in life. I like to depict myself as someone who is a high maintenance lady — not the high maintenance who’s spending her money to luxury; but, a high maintenance woman who acknowledges her worth, class, and what she can offer to the table. My name is Princess Veyonce Nuñez Reyes. “Princess” because my father wanted to treat me as if I was a royal, he wanted to treasure me considering that I am his first daughter. My name “Veyonce” is partly because of the Queen Bey herself. It is derived from the french and african surname “beyonce” which translates to “beyond others”. I am the eldest daughter, granddaughter and niece to my family. My baby brother whom I have 16 years gap with became my light to my dark and catastrophic life. Being the eldest, I had already adapted being on my own — that includes solving problems, making decisions, sett...

 The preparation for the 122nd High School day was a struggle, for both teachers and students. There were practice sessions for the field demonstration that required students to participate, props that are needed to be made, and class hours that were compressed in order to have enough time to practice. Although, it was all worth it when I saw that each one of us were smiling throughout the day. The Field demonstration involved the every students to perform, from grade 7 to 10. Each grade level has their own festival to perform.  In Grade 10, we performed Sinulog Festival. The boys garnered the title “CHAMPION, while the girls got 3rd Place in the field demo competition.  After the field demonstration, the school hosted a concert for a cause in which it involve the bands from the grade 10 special science class, the bands from the senior high school, and teachers. In the concert, songs by ben&ben, this band, taylor swift, callaliy, eraserheards, air supply, and many mor...

Bagong Pilipinas, Bagong Mukha?

 Dear Mr. President,      I admire your capability of controlling the minds of gullible filipinos rather than controlling the country leading to its development.Other than that, I also wish to utter my fondness unto your "bagong pilipinas" as a new governance brand.Although, I also want to question whether it is for a whole history revision or merely for the betterment of the country?       To be frank, I have never believed in your words as you had never proved any of it with actions. You see, it is hard for a person to stick with words without actions as words are just words and cannot be personified to be the one who'll take accountability of doing or fixing something. However, there are times where I still yearn for your answers to these questions that had been lingering on my mind: (1) Based on your past interviews where you worded out that as a president of the Philippines, you ought to clean the dirty and blood-stained hands of your dearest...
