MUSIC VIDEO 🌸

SONG TITLE: SIRENA
ARTIST: GLOC 9 FT. EBE DANCEL 

Our group’s version

     Discrimination in different forms are very evident in our society. Sometimes these discriminations can turn into an act of Heterosexism. Heterosexism is a term which means giving out rude connotations or attitudes towards Lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders or the LGBT community present in our society. Sometimes even telling that their acts especially in relationships with same sex are immoral.

       Mario (Maria at night) a member of the LGBT community is often hurt by his father physically and mentally. In addition, he also receives harsh criticisms from other people. Despite the rude treatments he received from everyone he still believes that he should respect everyone especially his father. With the help of his LGBT friends, his boyfriend and his own will he remains loving and respectful to everyone. He also studied hard and worked vigorously to earn his father’s love and respect. He then succeeds with it and lives his life happily and prosperously with his father.

       In the music video I was the interviewer of Maria as he is already a successful designer travelling around the world. I was a key for him to openly express his self to everyone that can watch or see the interview. As for my contribution, I was the director and the editor of our music video. I am also  responsible for Maria and his friend’s wardrobe.

What media message are you sharing?

         The media message that our video is sharing is to always be respectful and loving to our parents. Family is the best thing that we could have especially our parents. Parents should always be loved and respected even if sometimes some of them might fail to do so. It is also written in God’s commandments that we should honor thy father and mother. Another message that our video wants to relay is that if we strive hard to achieve success. Lastly our video also shows the LGBT in which our video wants to raise awareness because everyone is giving harsh comments to everyone especially to them.

What is the purpose of your message? 

               The purpose of our message is to make sure that the children would always be reminded to love and honor their parents. We want to strengthen family bonds with our video. Another is that we want to raise awareness in bullying. A lot of people are being bullied and have weak personalities. With our video we want them to be confident with theirselves and motivate them to strive harder to achieve their goals. In our video, no matter what gender you can be successful if you strive hard.

Will the media messages that you have constructed and disseminated possibly harm anyone or yourself?

              Yes, it can harm other people. Other people who have weak personalities might see our video as a trigger to commit suicide. If our video did not successfully enlighten them they might do it so we have to be very careful. Another is that bullying or discriminations might increase more to everyone especially to LGBT community. Another violence might also occur because there are some scenes in our video with violence. Lastly, for ourselves there is no harm because our group talked about it verywell.

Why are you responsible and accountable for the media message that you are promoting?

          We are responsible for the media message because we are the creators of it. Before we made this video we talked a lot about what possibilities might arise. After the talk we made sure that we sort all negativities that might arise and backed it all up to be positive and make our video successful. So whatever happens we are responsible for it.


Here’s the original version of the music video Sirena by Gloc 9 ft. Ebe Dancel

The Present

21st Century Essay

        21st Century is the era we are on. It is the time of the modern technology. Innovations and great inventions are the highlights of this century. It is the present and it is everything.

       The life we have is our everything. It is something that we must hold on so dearly. Life would not be complete without happiness and sadness. There are a lot of problems that we will encounter in our lives.

      With the problems coming along our way, we must make sure to keep holding on. We must always remember that God will never give us problems that we can not handle. God loves us so much that everything he plans and does for us is for our good. Problems are just trials that makes us stronger.

         In our time, there are a lot of problems faced by our country and society. One of this is poverty. Poverty is a problem that is very common in third world countries like the Philippines. Poverty is when someone cannot afford his or her physiological needs or having little money to none.  Everywhere in the streets of our country we can see beggars. Kids, adults and teens are begging for money or food in highways, restaurants and etc.

      Poverty is something that is escapable especially if the person experiencing it strives hard to be different and away from it. If a person is determined to a particular goal then surely no matter how hard it is he or she will succeed. Experiencing poverty is hard that is why they say in tagalog “Mahirap maging mahirap”. It is hard but if you are determined you can find ways to make your life better.

       As of now what also increases the rate of poverty is corruption. Corruption is present among corrupt officials or leaders in the government who chooses to dwell in the money of the people instead of using them to help the people.

       Corruption is the reason why other people are experiencing poverty. The money they worked hard for   

are being used selfishly by corrupt people. On a normal setting, people who sit idly have more money to earn than those who work hard sunkissed and dangerously.

      To cure poverty change must come first among ourselves. Second, the government must help its people to lift themselves. Third, the government must be a help to the people and not another hindrance for their success. Lastly, Give what is rightfully appropriate for the person. If a person works hard for it give the credit to them, He or she deserves it.

       In our time, we are able to know news and stories inside and outside our country. With the use of social media news and information are easily spread than before where pigeons are used as messengers. In social medias we usually see stories about real life experiences such as kids working at a young age to earn money or people doing high risk jobs just to earn minimal money. It is good that social media is present so this issues can be an eye opener to each and everyone. With the social media making this issues viral the chances that the government’s attention will be captured and they can help solve the problem.

       Social media is beneficial to us.Social media is an invention brought to us by web developers that helps us communicate with others and entertain us at the same time. Social media is a big help to any individual. It is now considered as an essential in our daily lives.

       Social media is powerful because it very influential. Users from other country can view what you have posted if it is in public. That is why an individual must be careful about what he or she is posting. Thinking before you click is a must.

      If a use is cautious about what he or she is posting cyberbullying can be prevented. Cyberbullying is also one of the 21st century issues. It is where someone is bullied or attacked online. Cyberbullying should not be tolerated and must be ceased. 

      In case you encounter cyberbullying online save the victim and help the bully.  Defend thr victim and let the bully know that he or she is wrong. Let the bully know what he or she should be doing instead of bullying. Help the bully to avoid bullying again. Also save the victim bu giving words of advice and offering friendship. Let him or her know that everyone matters and everyone is special and unique in his or her own ways. Lastly, do not tolerate cyberbullying and do not be part of it.

      With the use of social media I have seen different parts of the world. I have always dreamt of travelling the whole world. Honestly, I really plan to migrate to US after finishing college. I plan to work there with my aunt. Migration is the act of migrating or transferring to another place. I myself would love to migrate but I am not saying that I do not love our country neither is it beautiful.

      Our country Philippines is a tropical and very inviting country. It is one of the most heart warming and eye capturing countries in the world. Although Philippines is known for its boost on the tourism aspect poverty is still a problem. Many Filipinos chose to go abroad because they think there are better opportunities outside our country. A lot of professionals migrate to other countries because they think they can maximize their potentials in another country.

       Then I realized, I am also planning to do the same. I realized I will become an OFW too someday. OFWS or Overseas Filipino workers are considered modern super heroes. There the heroes of every family they support in our country. OFWS are considered heroes because they give service to someone who is not blood related to them and at the same time they can withstand the pain of being lonely and homesick because of being away from their family just to have a bigger income.

         I respect OFWS because they work hard for their families. They are doing their jobs and making their families and our country proud. OFWS are one of the highly sought after workers abroad because of their unique and great quality of work and concern for others. Hopefully with the opportunities present for everyone poverty can be diminished.

POVERTY AND CORRUPTION

21st Century: Problems 😞

The perfect mom

For me a wise person is someone who knows what is right or wrong. A wise person is also someone who is not easily swayed by his or her emotions. He or she always win. I also define a wise person as someone who can survive any situation like in the movie hunger games, Katniss is a wise person because she was able to defeat enemies even stronger than her by using her intellect.

In my life, I also want to be a wise person. I want to make a mark in this world. I want to avoid doing the bad things and continue to do what is good. I want to be someone that would be a good example to everyone.

One of my goals in life is to be someone who influences other people to be successful. I believe that being a wise person can lead me to success. For me a wise person would be someone that a lot of people would look up to. A wise person is someone who always succeed even if life pulls down the best of him or her.

One quote that reminds me of a wise person is “Winning is not always winning the battle... but rising every time you fall” by Napoleon Bonaparte. Although Napoleon Bonaparte is known to be a great emperor and military commander, he knows that winning is not always winning. For some instances in life losing and committing mistakes are one of the greatest teachers we can have. Mistakes and defeats should be accepted and solved.

As for me, I have seen a lot of people fall but after some time rise again. My friends would usually cry over heartbreaks, failures, mistakes, problems and such. At first they would be held by their emotions, but after sometime they would be able to decide properly for themselves and solve their problems. With this, I learned that if one is overwhelmed by too much emotions  a persom would not be able to decide or think properly and would be a hindrance for him or her to be a wise person.

To help me know who is a wise person for me our teacher gave us 5 traits of a wise person. This traits were very much true. Our teacher also said that if a person is overwhelmed by emotions and cannot decide properly then he or she would not be a wise person. This gave me more idea on how to choose my wise person.

The first trait given to us by our teacher is knowing what one knows and does not know. Second, a wise person is someone having justified true beliefs. Third, a wise person knows things that are valuable in life. Fourth, a wise person has the ability to put knowledge into practice. Lastly, a wise person knows what should be done and acts accordingly.

For me, My mom is a wise person.  Although there are a lot of problems she still manages to be strong for me. She is a one of a kind women. She knows what is right for me. 

My mother, Elsa David possesses all the traits of a wise person. First she knows what one knows and does not know. She is a great teacher to me because she knows a lot more than I know. Especially in      

house hold chores and other experiences that I could not learn from school.

Second, She justifies true beliefs. She sticks with her opinions and beliefs. Especially if she knows she is right. 

Third, she knows what is valuable in life, she does not waste money on unnecessary things she only use money on things that are essential to our lives. Fourth, if she has knowledge she uses it wisely. Lastly, she knows what to do she uses her wisdom in our daily lifes and makes sure that I also do well same as her.

We are the champions!
