Students sell artworks to fund studies
February 7, 2021 Gabriela Baron
As the struggle to adjust to the distance learning continues, some students
turned their hobbies into side hustles to help fund their studies.
In August, the Department of Education said that about four million learners
have dropped out due to the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic crisis,
while many students are still scrambling to acquire digital devices and stable
Internet connection.
Information Technology student Precious Vi Latag raised funds for a new laptop
through selling her artworks online.
“I need to buy a laptop for my online classes and to also use it to make systems
and documents,” Latag told the Manila Bulletin in Filipino.
She added that she wanted to augment their family finances, as her single dad is
also struggling to budget for their home expenses, electricity bills, water
bills, and food.
“That’s where I realized that I have to make a way to buy it because it’s
difficult to apply for a job especially during the pandemic. All I could think
of was to monetize my drawing skills,” Latag continued.
University of Santo Tomas student Noriel A. Beltran said he started selling
artworks online to help his parents.
Meanwhile, Alejandro Gabriel V. Cayago, a senior high student, shared that
selling his illustrations online helped him buy the supplies he needs for his
online classes.
Due to connectivity issues, Gwen, a Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) student from Taytay, Rizal started to sell her paintings and
sketches online.

What you need to know about
THE FILIPINO MILLENNIAL
Much has been said about millennials – roughly defined as
those who were born between 1980 and 2000.
In the Philippines, millennials make up one-third of the total population.
They’re the ones politicians talk to. The ones marketers try to entice and
persuade. The ones companies want to hire (if they haven’t started their own).
They are a force to be reckoned with.

Why PH Gov’t should include youth in
disaster councils
Roy Joseph R. Roberto Jun 01, 2015
Empowering the youth by giving them a voice in the country's disaster risk
reduction and management councils gives them significant responsibilities in
their respective communities.
It is high time for the Philippine government to institutionalize youth
participation in
NDRRMC on both the local and national levels. One of the most
proactive disaster risk reduction measures is to empower youth by giving them a
fair share of the responsibility in making their community more prepared and
resilient in the light of disasters.

The Filipino Millennial?
Jayeel Serrano Cornelio August 21, 2016
When commentators celebrate their independence, creativity, and entrepreneurial
spirit, they neglect the struggles of many other youth in our society.
Millennials broadly refer to youth born in the 1980s and 1990s. They came of age
at the turn of the new millennium.
But when commentators describe Filipino youth as millennials, they typically
refer to a very specific segment of our population. Millennials are
characterized as young people who are educated, tech-savvy, well travelled, and
cosmopolitan with their choices in life

preoccupation. Technically, sexting is defined as “the practice of sending nude

Resigned National Historical Commission of the Philippines chairperson Maria
Serena Diokno said the next step beyond the rallies is to continue educating the
youth about Martial Law. Other historians and educators agree with her proposal.

Amerasians
- Forgotten Filipino-American Children
By definition, an Amer-Asian is any person fathered by a citizen of the United
States of America (i.e. an American servicemen, expatriate, or government
employee whether government or contractual) and whose mother is or was an Asian
national.
Reports estimate that there are about 52,000 Amerasians in the Philippines.
Astonishingly, they are still growing in numbers despite the fact that the
Americans have long abandoned the US Air Base in the country.

Explainer: How Can You Be Half-American
and Still Not a Citizen?
Born abroad? You might not be welcomed aboard. To gain U.S. citizenship,
applicants might need more than an American parent. This explainer walks you
through the laws that surround "Left by the Ship"
If you know anyone who’s applied for
U.S. citizenship, you’ve heard it’s a byzantine process. For Amerasians, born in
Asia to a U.S. military father and an Asian mother, it’s even more Kafkaesque. |

Amerasians
In its original meaning, an Amerasian is a
person born in Asia, to a U.S. military father and an Asian mother. The term has
sometimes been used to describe a person in the United States of mixed Asian and
non-Asian ancestry, regardless of the circumstances.
Several countries have significant
populations of Amerasians, including the islands that dot the Pacific Ocean.
These countries include most notably, the Philippines, where the largest U.S.
air and naval bases outside the U.S. mainland were situated.

Amerasian & Orphan Children Olongapo City - Subic Bay Children's Home -
Subic Bay Orphan Children. For many years
U.S. Navy ships would pull into Subic Bay near Olongapo City. Young navy
servicemen would go into Olongapo City and find themselves a woman for the
night. The navy servicemen would leave not knowing that they had fathered an
Amerasian child. Many of these Amerasian orphans grew up on the streets of
Olongapo City never having parents that cared for them. Subic Bay Children's
Home and Subic Bay Baptist Church under the leadership of Missionary Teddy
Fulfer need our help. They have taken homeless, abused children off the streets
away from the evils of drugs and prostitution to provide food, clothing, and
shelter.
