Refocusing Perspectives

  Many years ago, I formulated my own reasons to block a person.  This will progress too, as experiences advance. These are some of the causes: 1. Untrustworthy. Overwhelmingly committed to misunderstand your very person. 2. Uses social media to rumormonger friends, associates, and others. 3. Inability to control anger.  4. Chronic peddler of lies. 5. Hacker. Hacking personal information to assume your name or identity for unknown ends which may include illegal online activities. I have a close friend who've been hacking my email and even showed a laptop which I incidentally discovered that my Gmail account was opened in it. That goes to say that being a friend is not a license for abuse.  6. Unreasonable utilization of social media to track the whereabouts, involvements, and affiliation of a person.

I'm uncertain if there is already a scientific technology that can predict earthquakes.  What I know is that there is already online information and maps showing where the quake faults are. Those who attempted posting information are simply regularly documenting and mapping where quake happened, its magnitude, and the impact to the communities and effects to geographical topography. Any prediction logically seemed harry-potter.

But that is not enough as a simulation respond when the catastrophe actually happens. It must be approached with clarity of minds, faith, and to remain focus and objective on what to do during disaster, including the need to quickly rise from trauma so that you can immediately assess where to start picking up from the damages.  But typhoon is pre

( A note after watching a report from a local radio station in Cagayan de Oro which interviewed a prostitute or a sex worker talking about her life and difficulties in times of pandemic.) Beyond the narratives of income generated by sex workers in Cagayan de Oro, including minors who were forced by circumstance to become prostitutes, are stories of risks, physical harm, untold discrimination, lack of education, and psychological abuses. I am uncertain if it's logical to approach prostitution as a simplified health issue, which may connote condescending tolerance of an ancient practice of sexualizing women because there is lack of opportunities for them to live and earn with dignity. Many years ago, when I was a law student, during semestral break, I used to visit a high school best friend who worked at Davao city's assessor office. From her desk, I saw several beautiful women, who'd passed through her office toward another office, whom she said will get a medical certificat
