Pinoy Body Piercing

Sa panahon ngayon usong uso na ang pag pa Tatoo, hikaw sa ibat ibang bahagi ng katawan. Ito ba ay mapanganib? Ang sagot ko ay ~~PWEDE~~ , Katulad ng impeksyon or ang ang pamamaga ng bahagi na tinatuan o ang nilagyan ng body art. Ang isa pang pwde na makuha ay ang mga sakit na nakukuha sa dugo, kagaya ng Hepa B, Hepa C pwde din ang HIV. Kaya ito ay lubhang mapanganib kung ang gagawa nito ay walang sapat na kaalaman sa wastong pag iingat.

What it takes to be a Filipino?

Are you one of the millions that stands proud when Manny Paquiao lands punches and knocks out his opponent? Or reacted with anger when Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin said that he wanted more children and wanted to have a Filipino mail to order bride? But who are we Filipinos?
I am a Filipino,I grew up in a small town, studied and graduated ,working hard, but still deprived of a decent life. I am unheard of, no one represents me. Like all of us Filipinos, wanting to have a better life. But how can we change things, when our own country denies us of our dignity.

How about the future generation ? Dr. Rizal said that the youth is the hope of our future? What is the real image of our children?

Approximately 3 million Filipino children go hungry everyday,how can they be leaders in the future if they are denied of basic needs such as food ,shelter and a quality education. But who truly runs the Philippines? Controlled by the rich and few influential families, hungry for power and wealth.
