Department Of Education (DepEd) Should Include Blogging in School Curriculum

Based on the survey result of Social Weather Station, there are approximately 8.4 million Filipinos who are unemployed. And that was about three months ago. Imagine how many individuals and families have meager or no income at all.

Unemployment is a huge problem the government must address. To be fair, the government is doing its best to provide citizens jobs through various agencies including the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), as well as livelihood assistance through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

If all of their efforts aren’t enough, or some of the programs are ineffective, then the government should find and try new ways that will lead to the reduction of unemployment in the country.

Why don’t the Department of Education (DepEd) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) try to include blogging in the school curriculum? Why don’t TESDA try to offer basic blogging as a three-month course? Such as basic blogging site building, attaching layouts, how to simple run and etc.

If you only know how it works, blogging is one of the easiest and most effective ways to earn money.

Blogging doesn’t require a diploma. You only need a computer (you can rent one at an internet shop in the neighborhood), an internet connection, and simple english knowledge to start with.

You are your own boss, meaning you’re self-employed; you can manage your time and do the job at home; you can attend to and provide your family’s needs; and you don’t have to leave your loved ones to work abroad just to earn dollars.

I’ve been advocating this for a couple of years already because I know for a fact how hard it is to get a stable job. I’ve worked as a contractual worker in three well-known broadcast companies and as a government employee with a coterminous status and meager salary.

Owner of Coolbuster.net blog site said despite being a college graduate and a professional civil service exam passer, I wasn’t given a permanent job. So I decided to quit to focus on blogging. From there on I was able to earn a dozen times more than what I got in the past sixteen years.  

I know some Filipino bloggers out there who are making money online, around six figures monthly. If you blog and your blog site becomes popular, ads will follow and cash will pour in. You might even surpass their income.

Why don’t you try blogging after reading this post? Don’t waste too much of your time on Facebook. There’s plenty of blogging resources on the web. All you have to do is read and if you already have a know-how, create a blog. By doing so, you help reduce the number of jobless pinoys.

Top 10 weird visa applications

  Are applying for a Visa somewhere?  Maybe to work or live out a dream?  Do you know that your reasons for applying do matter when filling up the application or when interviewed?   So, I suggest you put your acts together and make sure it agrees with the laws of the particular country you want access to, thus getting higher chances of getting  approved. 

  We are all unique in any sense, that’s already given, we all have certain hopes in our lives, which might have been inspired from your favourite show, a novel or maybe sparked from an article read in the past.  This somehow, though slim in chance may have pushed us to gain interest in trying our luck and living that glorious aspirations outside the Philippines.  I guess everything is possible now-a-days but then do consider the list I have below, if you are under this spell, and consider this wise.

  Globalvisas.com has put together a list of the ten weirdest applications they have come across in the last 12 months. When asked for their reasons for travel, applicants gave an unusual array of answers - from the illegal, to the unexpected, and the frankly odd.  Global Visas is a private company that helps individuals and businesses wishing to secure visas in the country of their choice.

  According to them, the ten strangest reasons for applying for a visa are the following:

1) A South African man applied for a European visa, by saying he wanted to go to Romania to become a vampire hunter.

2) On his UK visa application, a Brazilian man said he wanted to bring "flamenco to the streets of Norwich".

3) A Russian woman applied for a European visa, so she could work as a prostitute in the Netherlands.

4) An embalmer from Mexico applied for a visa to ply his trade in Spain. When his criminal record was unearthed, the visa was refused.

5) On his European visa a Mali man said he was skilled with a pirogue, and wanted to transfer his skills to gondola driving in Venice.

6) A UK man listed his profession as a dog food taster on his US visa application.

7) A man in the Philippines applied to travel to Australia because he was "evading the local authorities".

8) One woman applying to move from France to the US gave her profession as 'foot model'.

9) A woman applied for a UK visa, saying she had "seasonal work as a zombie" .

10) A Peruvian man applied for a European visa to work as an "alpaca shearer" during "shearing season".

   Note that every country has certain laws and limitations when come to this.   So for an absurd reason of running from the a crime here in Manila, don’t count your luck on it.  If ever you fall into the list or  you are at loss of what better career options to file for, it would be good to seek out professionals who are adept to this kind of application, and those that could assure your visa approval.

  Don’t get into shameful discussions about your reasons and thus getting disappointed on a disapproved application and eventually not finding a vampire or zombies in some countries.

The trophies feature flowing metal figures, which showcase the three categories in triathlon. These perfectly represent the movement involved in the sport, and each is plated with gold, silver, and bronze. The figures rest on a wooden base for the female division and on a metal base for the male division.

And since this year’s ironman shall be held in Mactan Shangri-La on August 4, it is fitting to showcase the artistry of these world-class Cebuanos through these commemorative prizes.

“When Kenneth was tapped to design the trophies, his obvious choice as the manufacturer of the trophies was us, since are known not just in Cebu but nationwide to be the leader in the metal crafts industry,” says Sales & Marketing Director Gia Suarez.

It is interesting to note that Suarez and Son also made the trophies for the Ironman competition last year as well.

A Legacy as Strong as Iron

Stronger than the physique of these Ironman athletes is the legacy behind Suarez and Son. The superior metal craftsmanship of the company has a long history dating back to 1953.

“Our father started this engraving and stamping business 60 years ago.  He made the Suarez name synonymous nationwide with quality emblematic jewelry and metal crafts because of his passion for perfection, a keen eye for detail, good taste and entrepreneurial spirit.  He has inspired us to continue his legacy for many more generations to come,” says Rafael Suarez.

Today, after the evolution of technology in the field of metal crafts, Suarez and Son continue to stay true to its tradition of excellence in quality and artistry. This dedication has upheld their reputation as the top supplier of commemorative school and corporate rings, trophies, emblems, plaques, and other metal crafts all over the country. Students from all over the Philippines treasure their college memorabilia created by Suarez and Son.

Included in their long list of projects are Coca-cola’s commemorative pins and bottle markers for its 100^th anniversary, Avon’s brass miniature liberty bells to mark its centennial anniversary, a pure gold medallion for the King of Thailand, the medals for the 1995 and 2005 Southeast Asian Games, and the commemorative Pedro Calungsod coins, which were brought to the pope for the saint’s canonization.

According to Suarez, the secret behind their continued success is the passion for outstanding workmanship that drives all stakeholders of the company.

“It is important to have workers who are not just highly trained but who also enjoy what they are doing and take pride in being part of a team that manufactures world class metal products. Once you have workers with this training and mindset, it is easy for us make sure that quality is maintained through quality control procedures in every department,” says Gia Suarez.

Now on its 60^th year, Suarez and Son has placed its commitment and legacy of metal craftsmanship in the making of the Cobra Ironman 70.3 trophies. And just as how each of their clients still hold their Suarez-made memorabilia in their respective homes, the winners of this triathlon shall surely have these trophies to always remember this significant victory.
