Aborsyon: Takot, Kahihiyan at Kasalanan

Kaawa-awang bata sa sinapupunan

          Sa kasalukuyan, kinahaharap ng ating bansa ang lumaking bilang ng populasyon ng mga Pilipino. Humigit-kumulang labin-dalawang milyon na ang bilang ng mga Pilipino sa Pilipinas at araw-araw ay nadaragdagan pa ito ayon sa pag-aaral ng National Statistic Office (NSO). Dahil sa dumaraming kaso ng maagang pagbubuntis sa mga kabataang wala pa sa legal na edad, patuloy na bumibigat ang problema ng karamihan sa ating mga kababayan tungkol sa paglobo ng populasyon na karaniwang nagiging dahilan hindi lamang ng kahirapan kundi maging ang nadaragdagang kaso sa bansa ng aborsyon.

          Ilang taon ng pinag-uusapan ang pagpapalegal ng aborsyon sa ating bansa. ‘Di basta-basta ang pagpapatupad nito dahil ang ating bansa ay isang demokratik, na mas inuuna ng isipin ang pagpapahalaga ng relihiyon sa buhay ng tao.

Takot

          Ayon kay Gil (2011), Dala marahil ng kapusukan kaya humantong ang mga batang ina sa kanilang sitwasyon. Karaniwang rebelde, mapageksperimento at agresibo ang mga kabataan sa kasalukuyan. Ilan ito sa mga nagiging dahilan ng maagang pagbubuntis ng marami. Ngunit kapag humantong na sila sa ganitong sitwasyon, takot na ang namamayani. At ang mabilis maisip at epektibong paraan upang takasan ito ay aborsyon.

Kahihiyan

          Ayon kay Bautista (2011), Sa lipunang ating kinabibilangan, isang malaking kahihiyan hindi lamang sa ina kundi sa kanyang buong pamilya ang magdalantao nang wala pa sa wastong gulang. Bagamat dumarami na ang mga ganitong kaso sa kasalukuyan, ang kaugaliang pagiging konserbatibo sa ating mga Pilipino rin ang nawawala. Isang makasalanang babae ang tingin sa babaeng nabuntis habang bata pa siya. Dadalhin niya ang ganitong pagtingin ng kanyang lipunan hanggang kamatayan.

Kasalanan

          Ayon kay Gil (2011), Sa ibang pagkakataon nama’y dulot ng masamang pangayayari o pang-aabuso ang dahilan ng pagbubuntis ng batang ina. Ang sanggol na nabuo sa sinapupunan ng isang babe, ito man ay dulot ng pagiging mapusok o ng makamundong kasalanan ay inosente at walang kalaban-laban. Kung ang desisyong pag-abort ay ginagawa para lamang sa sariling kagustuhan o upang matakpan ang dungis ng kahihiyang idudulot nito, hindi ito sapat upang may isang batang magbuwis ng sariling buhay.

          Paano nga ba matatanggap ng kanyang pamilya at lipunan ang sanggol na bunga ng isang kasalanan? Kakayanin nga ba ng isang batang ina ang makapiling habambuhayang isang batang paulit-ulit lamang na makapgpapaalala sa kanyang malupit na karanasan? Ano’t ano pa man ang mga kadahilanan, marapat sana nating lahat na alalahanin ang mga turo ng simbahan at paaralan.

Ban Aerial Spraying

The boy is pleasing to you . . . 

Aerial Spraying is commonly used by big plantations of fruits and crops in the United States and even in our country at present. They are sold out on aerial spraying because it maximizes time and money especially in banana plantations, cacao and pineapples plantations here in the country. Yes it saves time and effort but it is very dangerous to the health of the people living near the vicinity especially to the little children. It can damage their skin, lungs, and even their. It is not really good to be used in places where there are families living nearby. So, PLEASE! Stop the aerial spraying for the good of all.

I'm happy to be MYSELF!

It is said, persons are unique creature and no two individuals are exactly alike because we are made special by God. For me being an unique one, I had an experience that was being belittled and criticized. I know it is so painful to hear all of that especially if the one who teases you is your loved ones. 

In my own experience in my family, I am the shortest product of my parents and has a long chin. My siblings teased me and even called me "Potot" and "Taas Suwang" that made me cry sometimes. But I always try to prove to them that even though I am short; I am beautiful that is what my mother always remind me that I am beautiful because I am different from them.

I accept myself completely as I am. I know everything has it's own meaning, that is why I am proud for who I am today. I don't care to those people who are happy teasing someone's imperfection. Thus, imperfections will make you perfect. I'm happy to be MYSELF!

This is our last chance

To share the stage

Before we go our seperate ways

We should spend these final days together

Its our last chance

For us to shine

To make some music one more time

Friendship is being of help to others and always there in times of hardships and crises. Friendship is both in good times and bad times. Most of all the value of friendship is time and availability in times of needs. We want  somebody to talk with and to share with our experiences. We want to mingle to others to learn something to them; We want to enjoy others company sharing our laughter's. 

THE BEST BATCH - unity and how close we've become as a class. I don't think that this applies to us. Instead, I think we've all become close as individuals, not because of some imaginary entity we all belong to, but because of who and what we are. Soon, we won't be chanting "RED LION"; we'll be remembering the individual relationships we all had. 

I remember after the six grade graduation we were milling about the courtyard, hugging each other and crying for what would become of us. We were scared of high school this time it's the real world. And later in life, we will face much bigger obstacles that we will overcome, and high school graduation will be fondly remembered. As we approach this real world, it's important to remember the many people who have helped us along the way as leaders, advisers, peers, and friends. 

I've learned lot of things from you, especially the value of friendship. I hope that our friendship we had will last forever. Even we go on our separate way, never forget to look back from where you came. And always put in your heart and mind the teachings of our beloved Alma Matter. May God Bless You! Farewell to my friends, I hope to see each other again.

Love is . . . 

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. 

1 Corinthians 13

Love is a complex perplexity that has been defined by countless people; yet, no one has ever been close in grasping its true nature. One may turn to his/her dictionary to look for the meaning; however, even the dictionary cannot define this exactly. We then ask, how will we know if we’re already in love if we, ourselves, cannot even identify it? It is an intricate question; indeed, we often confuse love with various feelings like lust and infatuation.

Back in our Elementary days, we had our own crushes and immediately thought that it was love; hence, the catchphrase “I am in love with you” and the ever-popular “love at first sight.” People carry the belief until they grow up. They are being blinded by this sad thing. What they don’t know is that it’s not love; in fact, it is called Infatuation. We know it’s infatuation since Infatuation is distinguished by a lack of trust, loyalty, commitment, and reciprocity; in addition, there is the presence of the obsessed and the apple of the eye, which of course may or may not be attainable.

For kids, there’s infatuation; however, for young adults and adults alike, there is lust. Lust, also known as lechery, is an impure act that involves one’s desire of the “flesh” of another. Lust is prevalent in teenagers and adults alike. Whenever they see an attractive person, they feel infatuated and afterward, think of unclean thoughts involving them and the concerned person. What is sad about this is that once their desires have been met, they grow tired and eventually leave their partners.

What love is? Is it safe to say that love is anything that doesn’t fall under infatuation and lust? Love is definitely a deeper feeling; on the contrary, infatuation and lust are simply feelings that are too shallow. Love is simply too complex to be talked out; subsequently, many people still end up being perplexed by love. This makes love a very special feeling; uniquely, it gives one an experience that no other feeling could give and that includes lust and infatuation.

When everything is said and done, we can all say that love is indeed a wonderful feeling which can be talked about for a very long time.
