Filipino Youth
INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF BOARD MEMBER HARMES S. SEMBRANO
11 July 2013

A bright-blessed day to all!
Nearly three enduring decades of nothing but untainted, out and out public service made me the civil servant I am today. From a newcomer legislator of my hometown, then to a three-term local chief executive, to being here at this very chamber, I am deeply gratified to have stayed and committed for my beloved Tarlaqueños from the very beginning until now.
It is but apt and proper to primarily express my unending gratitude to God Almighty, whom I have sought for guidance and never failed to impart me with prudence and vim to do nothing but good for our people. Lord, with unending praise, I shall yield to your Holy Name and Will.
I am likewise, thankful to the integral constituency of the second district – from undivided voters to unwavering allies and friends who trusted me for the second time around to be part of this provincial council. To my loving family - God’s greatest gift to me, thank you for always being there.

Hence, renewing this tenure implies another productive chapter for this representation, which I anticipate to be steadily imbued with dynamism and throughput. This renewed opportunity will further ascertain what we have already endeavored and prospered for our province… for our people… for our Tarlac.

These various hands-on involvements with communities taught me boundless points to improve my calling as a humble representation of our district. It is also a formidable admission on my part that through these experiences, I

    Sexual Initiation Among Filipino Youth Today, Filipino youth tend to engage in early sexual initiations. With our modern day culture telling them it’s perfectly okay to have sex even before marriage; the youth is misled with their true understanding of sexuality. Sexuality belongs within marriage and that it is not simply a pleasure done out of curiosity and without respect. Because of higher exposure to sex from the internet, magazines, TV shows, movies, modern music and other media, the youth’s…

    Diaz. It’s easy to say “I am a Filipino”. But when can a person be considered as a true Filipino? In the movie, the word “Filipino” had different definitions. The word originally referred to a person of pure Spanish decency that was born in the country. However, a travelling Chinese merchant (Lim) born in the country was also considered as a Filipino. Based on these facts, being born in the country is one of the major criteria in order for one to be called a “Filipino”. Nicholas Ocampo, also called…
