have a room in their hearts.
Sometimes, some children feel left-out and
uncared for causing them to be quite depressive.
They take their anger out on others, thinking no one
understands what they're going through. They do
things we don’t like because they need attention
from us, especially from whom they love-their
families. This is another reason why they bully.
explains why we never develop. It is the burden
that soaks the country into problems, dangers
and eventually suffering. It is the root of
dispute among government officials; money,
land, every single thing. The truth is hidden
and sheltered by filthy lies.
Bullies bully because they themselves are
insecure. They bully to shield their fear and
weaknesses and pretend to be greater and better
than others. They abuse others to be accepted in a
group.
Do these bullies deserve second chances?
Yes, they do. Why withhold these from them? If
through this we can help them build their
confidence, their aspirations and dreams, and find
their value as a person, then, why not?
Another reason why they deserve second
chances is that; they are capable of changing. If
proper attention, care and love are given, this may
not be possible to happen. They just need a little
encouragement, understanding, and again, guidance
from us so they can start a new way of living. They
deserve the second chance so they can prove that
there is more in them than what they reveal.
So when you see a bully, try to put yourself
in their shoes, and listen. Be generous. Give them
the second chance.
The Burden that Weighs Us

weighs
us
down. It is a
heavy load that
Unity is everything. If our government
officials attempt to unite and stop themselves
from placing hands on each other’s throat, then
there is a possibility that the Philippines will be
heading the right way. However, what stops
them from doing so? Corruption. It does no
good for the people. It slackens our country’s
progress. It stops us from developing.
Corruption is a reflection of lies and
thievery. Unwarranted infrastructures are built
for the sake of saying they have done
something – but ones that bare no foundation
at all. Alleged officials like Juan Ponce Enrile,
Ramon “ Bong “ Revilla, and Jingoy Estrada
seem to be very unsatisfied with the millions
they have in their bank accounts. They seem to
think that robbing money from thousands of
unfortunate Filipino families is worth the
additional zeros in their checkbooks. They live
in enormous mansions while that sidewalk
vendor runs underneath the heat of the sun
just to provide for his family.
Joseph “ Erap” Estrada, on the other
hand, thought running the county was some
sort of business. Taxes gained from tobacco
exports were directly thrown into his pockets,
