Should We Abolish the PDAF or Pork Barrel Funds?


Wazzup Pilipinas!

People in different walks of life have been arguing and protesting about the Priority Development Assistance Fund, a government program most commonly known as PORK BARREL. It is how the money/funds of lawmakers and congressmen is being divided and spent to support their chosen projects.

But is it really the Pork Barrel that is evil? Or is it the system itself that makes it a source of corruption? Or yet, there's just really greedy officials that gave the word a unlikely description?

Pork Barrel per se connotes negativity but with continous study of the subject, I came to realize that many of our countrymen benefit from it such as scholarships, medical assistance, support for poor farmers and legitimate non-government organizations.

Senior Business Fair 2014 !!!


Wazzup Pilipinas!


It was a success when we had the Senior Business Fair last December. We really enjoyed and had fun  for the recently concluded activity. Our section is named as "Boom T Berz".



Our president divided my classmates in different stations. One group is responsible for cooking, another is for entertaining the costumers and lastly there are the so called "delivery boys".

Boom T Berz offered different kinds of entertainment but our main attraction is that we rented for a videoke and many costumers enjoyed it. Here are some pictures that showed the true meaning of FUN.


Bicycle Implementation on our Streets




Wazzup Pilipinas!

Should the government implement bicycle lanes on our streets?

Our nation has come to an age of modernization where accelerating machines and simple ones co-exist. Bicycles on the other hand, fall on the latter category: a simple one yet economical. Bicycle is one of the easiest means of transportation. Above anything else, biking reduces carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and promotes healthy lifestyle to the ones who used them.


The Bicycle Act of 2011 (Senate Bill No. 2688) invokes that main roads and highways shall have at least bicycle lanes as per the mandate of the LBO. The bill also indicates the right, restrictions, regulations and incentives of the cyclist. It also indicates the right use of bicycle parts to ensure the safety within the user’s control. Meanwhile, bicycle lanes are installed along EDSA, Remedios circle up to Roxas Avenue, Marcos Highway in Marikina proper and Commonwealth Avenue.
