Parents sending thier children to college

Sending our children to college is a stressful, expensive and heartbreaking obligation of every parent. Unlike primary and secondary schools, parents can educate their children for free because government now are providing free education for elementary and high school, as well as free school supplies and uniforms. Those  parents who works with stable jobs, politicians, and OFWs send their children in private school, but others who doesn’t have or who cant afford stays in public school. Public school is also good but the fact that private school is more comfortable for children to learn and all facilities are complete.
 Every parents are doing their best to support education of their children. They work hard to give them everything that they need in schools for them to become successful someday. They believe in the saying “ The Roots Of Education Are Bitter, But The Fruits Are Sweet” . The extra cost, and the sacrifices that are made to pay it, are worth it.  



With the Philippines economy right now many parents are facing problems on unemployment. And it’s a big difficulty for them on where to get such budget for educating their children every year. Some parents take a risk of working abroad despite of the disadvantages in their part. We all know how hard it is for them to work far from their love ones, especially for their children. But our parents are willing to sacrifice because they want their children to have good future someday. Salary in other countries is much okay compared here in Philippines. For this reason some of the parents take the opportunity to work in other country like Canada, Hongkong, Australia, Singapore, etc.

CHRISTMAS DAY 2011

 www.bananatravels.com

Every year we are celebrating Christmas Day with our love ones. It is the time for loving, sharing and joy. We consider it as our longest and merriest celebration in our whole life. We decorate our home with Christmas tree, Christmas lights and parols. We prepared special food like Ham, pancit, lechon, suman, barbeque, leche pla etc. There is also abundance of soft drinks, wines and beers , which make the celebration more exciting and fun.

Christmas Evening is the most awaited evening for all of us. It is the night without a sleep and everyone drop by to greet “ Maligayang Pasko” with a kiss. Family, friends, relatives and neighbors are join together in Masses. Children are waiting for their gifts usually candies, toys and money from Santa Clause; others are singing Christmas carols in every house to receive gifts. 

 

They said Christmas Day is for all children in the world. It’s a great time to spend with their family and love ones. But Christmas Day is not merry for these street children. They are not celebrating Christmas like any other children of well off families. They never experience opening a present under Christmas tree.

For Street children Christmas Day is an ordinary day for them. They don’t even celebrate or enjoy it. They don’t receive anything from their parents or any relatives. Some children of rich family enjoy eating lots of Noche Buena and receiving lots of gift but street children are very different. They suffer from hunger and forced to beg food everyday for their family. Sometimes the best Noche Buena they can is a Jollibee Leftover food from throw garbage, and they share it.

That’s the reason why some street children become criminals even when they were young. Instead of family reunions, they are spending Christmas with other criminals in jail. This is one of the problems of our country right now, If the government will focus on this issue im sure they can lessen the criminals in our county.

Its 9:00 in the evening while I lay in my bed alone watching my favorite movie the “Social Network” when my phone rang. Its my friend Jennifer calling to ask me if where she can purchase a new mobile phone at very low prices. She want to buy new mobile phone for her moms birthday. 

The best option i told her is to go to “tiangge” or market where she can buy almost everything like cell phone accessories and gadgets. They sell phones with warantees and big discount. She can also choose different models and brands like Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericson, Motorola and Cherry Mobile, each of which both have an up-to-date and high models to select. Each of them are always updated to a new mobile phones by adding high tech and helpful features.  

There are also some Malls in Metro Manila who sell good mobile phones. Greenhills Shopping Center in San Juan is one of the known place where you can buy or sell mobile phones, both brand new and second hand. All stalls in the second floor of the mall is full of mobile phones and different gadgets like laptop, psp, iPod etc. 

Guadalupe Mall is also a good place to buy new mobile phones in Makati. It is located near Guadalupe MRT Station beside EDSA. Some of the mobile phone owners here are all Muslims. You can find cheap cell-phones but be very careful, a lot of them is usually call a “China Phone”. 

Robinson Malate is also a place where you can buy cheapest mobile phones and accessories. The cheapest Nokia models are about 1000 or 1500 pesos. They are not high tech phones with good features, but perfectly good for just calling and texting.  

 

Malls like SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, St Patrick Square and Goldcrest Makati is also selling some  brand new mobile phones and gadgets that satisfied each customers. 

College Education In Philippines 2012

Philippines is facing one of the major crisis in Tertiary Education this year 2011. College and Universities tuition fees continue to rise and it would result to student dropouts. Due to this problem many students who are enrolled in private colleges and universities dropped or either forced to transfer in public universities and colleges. But we all know that some public universities and colleges are also facing same problems. Some public universities limit their enrollment quotas and also force to increase their tuition fees. They also limit the number of scholars every year and forcing them to leave.

Students who cannot afford to pay the demands in their tuition fees planned to give up their dreams of earning college diploma and to start looking for a job. Many people are spending thousands of Pesos for their college education in order to get a better job. Some use to get college education in other countries. This is because most people think that a college education will provide new and exciting opportunities in the future. We all know that some bigger companies hired mostly employees who have college degree or master's degree. A person with a master’s degree is often picked for the higher position compared to ones who have only attained a bachelor’s degree. This is also happening to those who have undergraduate degrees compared to those who do not have any college qualifications. So, if you don’t attain those requirements you cannot obtain high paying jobs like managers and CEO etc. Maybe you can only work in unskilled jobs

I think our government should focus on this policy. It seems that the students are neglected by our government . Since we are under the new administration of PNOY, this is a good opportunity for this new administration to take a stand and think out side the box, and to stand up and announce FREE education for all. This will not only help the poor students who want to finish their studies but will help the Country as a Whole.
