At the start of the movie the father and daughter are both watching and dancing to the sailor moon song. They are even looking at the bag Yea-Seong wanted and Yong-Gu promises he will buy it to her tomorrow because it’s his payday. But a customer already bought so they rush inside and try to plead to give it back. The father of the little girl who has the bag beats up Yong-Gu even though the song of sailor moon was playing ironically at the background. The lyrics when you translate it are “For love and justice, the pretty soldier in a sailor suit, Sailormoon! In the name of the moon, I’ll punish you!”. As the story progresses (actually we can see this at the first part already and find out that she’s the daughter of Yong-Gu) in the future Yea-Seong became a lawyer and did everything she can to help her father. She even looked for the friends or cellmates her father and her befriended while in prison and asked them to be witnesses for the case even though it has been so many years already and that he is already dead and the court has already dismissed his case. In a part where she was getting her fortune told she recognizes the daughter of the assistant. Here we can see that she is rebellious and ‘gangster’ like. She even rudely asks for allowance from her dad. This is mostly the “stereotype” effect to children whose parents or parent get imprisoned. What I like about the movie is that Yong-Gu’s cellmates help him with smuggling his daughter inside even though it’s bad. What touched and me cry is the part during her birthday celebration and that it was also the day Yong-Gu, her father would be sentenced to death, instead of them being happy. She even finally got the Sailormoon bag she wanted. When the police already took her father away it so hard for them to part and they even kept on saying goodbye to each other. Later on while watching, we find out the chief in the prison where her father was held found out that the daughter of the commissioner died not because of murder. He investigated because he knows that Yong-Gu is really a nice and sincere man after he saved him during a fire in prison. The cause is she slipped on ice and she wasn’t able to support herself because of the bag. Which is why she broke the back of her head that ironically caused her death. The reason she has a scar on her forehead is because of a brick fell on her. Also as it turns out Yong-Gu was giving CPR to her and unzipped her pants to give her more circulation of blood, as what he has learned. But during the court session the lawyer assigned didn’t do anything at all. Though at the end they finally see that Yong-Gu was indeed an innocent man. The court especially the commissioner really took advantage of Yong-Gu’s disability. I think he was just looking for someone to blame too.
The government should really investigate more on a person’s behavior too along with the case rather than just assuming and just going straight to the point. But it is really hard especially of you don’t have any money and the person you are up against has money and even has many connections. They also shouldn’t just judge a person right away. We also need more policemen like the chief in the movie. Not just the people in the government who are corrupt even the people who will give us justice too are. They are corrupt because they are blinded by money and are scared of the people above them. But all governments are corrupt but at least the others still do something to help the people but it is only in the Philippines who don’t do anything to help the people.

The movie personifies the old cliché; “there is a thin line between good and evil”. The movie shows an ordinary person doing heroic acts on a regular basis. It also shows us that when some people are faced with physical challenges or unfortunate circumstances they can become bitter, angry and do harm to others. Then there are people who use their unfortunate situations to help and improve the life of others. For example, the story of a homeless guy who had lived on the street most of his life and was hardly noticed until he did an unthinkable thing when the streets flooded in Houston. He hopped on an abandoned bus and drove it to pick up all the people who lived in his neighborhood taking them to safety. He became a hero instantly.…

In Albert Camus’s The Stranger, he shares with the reader, the life of an immensely complicated character. The story is presented to the reader by the character himself in most of the story. The character’s name is Meursault, a detached and semi-normal shipping clerk. Meursault appears to be rather stoic and is devoid of emotions. Meursault remains unaffected by passion and emotions throughout the story: however as the story progress towards the end Meursault is showing some feelings. Camus’s The Stranger is an example of existentialism and includes absurdism, as well as stoicism, some nihilism, and some naturalism and he shares with the reader examples of the aforementioned in almost every part of the story.…

As we enter the hall of the National Museum of the Philippines, the prominence of "Spoliarium" an oil on poplar completed in 1884 by National Artist, Juan Luna, is remarkable. The super- sized painting depicts a dark hollow beneath the Roman arena referred to as the Spoliarium where the bodies of slain gladiators are being dragged away for disposal. This is the time in history when the Romans travelled to Europe and collected slaves, otherwise known as the Vikings, to entertain other people in Rome. The Romans created the “Viking Games” where Vikings were forced by Romans to battle lions, tigers and against themselves in an arena. It strikes me as extremely violent, bloody and inhuman. The slaves have no other choice than to fight and kill in order for them to survive. The purpose of the Spoliarium was to “spoil” the dead bodies of the gladiators by exposing them to birds or any creature that eats human flesh. In the right side of the picture you will see an old lady waiting for the corpse of her loved one and an old man searching for the body of his son. The distress is palpable.…

The subject and language required to be used here in the Philippines is Filipino which we consider good for the education in our country. From elementary to college, Tagalog or Filipino as a language and a subject were introduced. Recently, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) announced that they will be removing obligatory Filipino subjects taught in college. The scrapping of Filipino subjects was then opposed by different members of the society which includes students and teachers. They, who comprise professors and students from different universities and colleges, who are against the removal of Filipino subject in the tertiary level already created a coalition which they called Defenders of the Filipino Language Alliance, which according to them is in order to maintain the Filipino subject in college and have a nationalistic education in our country.…

Reaction Paper on Stem Cell Ibilola Aridegbe Coun502 Dr. Marcia Wiinamaki 01/27/2009 Human existence begins at conception Abstract The purpose of this research includes a brief overview of information found through Intoduction Stem cell research has brought about heated debate among academics and society as a whole. Especially among Christian circles. Embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos that develop from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro or at an in vitro fertilization clinic which are then donated for research purposes with informed consent of the donors. They are not derived from eggs fertilized in a woman 's body contrary to the belief of some. The pros and cons of stem cell research come to the surface when we examine source of stem cells - embryonic cells. Embryonic stem cells are extracted directly from an embryo before the embryo 's cells begin to differentiate. At this stage the embryo is referred to as a "blastocyst." There are about 100 cells in a blastocyst, a very large percentage of which are stem cells, which can be kept alive indefinitely, grown in cultures, where the stem cells continue to double in number every 2-3 days. A replicating set of stem cells from a single blastocyst is called a "stem cell line" because the genetic material all comes from the same fertilized human egg that started it. The embryos from which human embryonic stem cells are harvested are typically four or five days old and are a hollow microscopic ball of cells called the blastocyst. The blastocyst includes three structures: the trophoblast, which is the layer of cells that surrounds the blastocyst; the blastocoel, which is the hollow cavity inside the blastocyst; and the inner cell mass, which is a group of approximately 30 cells at one end of the blastocoel. Those who value human life from the point of conception, oppose embryonic stem cell research because the extraction of stem cells from this type of an embryo requires its destruction. In other…

A symposium and forum concerning the Jalaur River Multipurpose Project was conducted last December 7, 2012 at the CFOS AV-Hall. This event was made successful thru the combined efforts of the UP Oikos and the Jalaur River for the People Movement. Mrs. Cynthia Deduro, a protector of the indigenous people in Panay tackled this rising dilemma and pointed out the various disadvantages this project might cause specifically the deterioration of the natives’ livelihood and destruction of the environment. It was Sen. Franklin Drilon who pushed this project to the Congress purposely indicating the benefits the people of Panay can acquire. The project aims to “sustain the region’s self-sufficiency and contribute to the annual increase in the country’s rice production. It will provide a year-round irrigation for agricultural production; obtain a hydroelectric power plant to supplement the power supply in the province, boost the supply of potable water throughout the province, and to promote eco-tourism. These benefits, however, may not be advantageous at all. It can cause total damnation to the people thru dislocation of communities, dangerous fault line, flooding, soil movements, worsening debt, and human rights violations.…

The usage of most advanced large-scale bread manufacturing facility that is fully automated and computer controlled, untouched by human hands of Gardenia in their conversion cycle is the most remarkable in their system. As I have personally seen how the machines process all the ingredients to ensure the quality and freshness of their products, I could really say that the company had used well the technology available to give them the best advantage in their industry. I have also seen how their workers ensure quality control by checking any deformed loaf of bread ahead of the process and then putting a sign on it – a pink paper in their case – to notify the person in charge to remove it before the packing stage. I have had this impression that maybe the reason why defective breads were not being removed at an earlier stage of the process is because these breads undergo joint processing with non-defective breads and will later be used for further processing in order to be sold as one of the by-product of the company. I have been informed that one example of the company’s by-product is fish feeds.…

The outside architecture of the museum says it all. It was built really for a special reason. And that reason is to be a home to our country’s most phenomenal items like paintings made by our national artists, fossils of our great ancestors and many more. And as I tour the inside of it, the more I understand things my MAKABAYAN, SIBIKA, A.P. and HISTORY teachers are saying. It really helps a lot in my understanding. It’s like coming alive from our books. In here you can see it more closely and you can really appreciate it. Unlike in our books, it’s really boring. Now I understand why many of us think that History is a boring subject. You really need to visit what our books and teachers are talking about. It really changed my perception about History Subject. Now I have more appreciation for museums. I also like the cleanliness of the museum. It adds on the beauty of the museum. Also the staff was dedicated and nice. I also enjoyed touring because of the airconditioning of the museum. It was not cheap. But I noticed that there are empty rooms. I also noticed a good thing that there were renovations being made. I hope the government does not forget to give importance to our national museum. But one thing I do not like is the cost of the museum. It’s too much for a museum. I think it should be free for all, so that everybody can appreciate it. But to end up my reaction paper, I’m really glad to see the inside of the national museum. Not only my perception changed but also it’s a great learning experience for me.…
