Protect your Child against Bullying

Parents would never wish to see their child being oppressed or intimidated by other children, particularly in school. Bullying, therefore should be hindered, by all means, in all educational institutions as well as in all other places where the young are supposed to co-exist without fear of being harassed or misjudged.

"For my entire childhood I pretty much felt continually like most of the outside world wanted me dead, or at least, found me a curious novelty for their own amusement." - Oliver Emberton

Bullying, at some point, bring much negative effect on our kids. There are some instances wherein bullied individuals fail to perform well in school or even to mingle with other students. They opt to become isolated from the rest as they become anxious in approaching possible friends. Sometimes, victims turn to be ill-tempered and hard-headed; trusting no one, not even their parents in extreme cases.

It is indeed difficult to deal with bullying but preventive measures should be done before it happens to your sons and daughters. Primarily, parents should be aware of the school’s anti-bullying procedures and discuss with the school authorities about it. It is also very important to have an excellent line of communication with your kids and let them feel that they are always being loved and trusted.

"The real world isn’t fair either, but it’s a much fairer game to play than the playground." - Oliver Emberton

Read this inspiring story of a person who experienced bullying during his childhood. Learn how he managed to cope up with this situation and become a successful individual.

As for me and my husband, we regularly check our son's experiences in school. We carefully discuss with him what bullying means using simple words that he can understand. We let him understand that bullying is bad and it is improper to treat other people unkindly.

A Disabled Girl from Cebu Dances Nae Nae

Watch this remarkable performance of a girl from Cebu. 
Despite of her disability, Precious Coyoca was able to dance gracefully to the tune of Nae Nae, Uptown Funk, Worth It, and several others. Amazingly, she was also able to include some difficult stunts like doing splits, cartwheel, and headstand on her performance.

Precious dominates the crowd regardless of her physical disability. We can see in this video that she is enjoying her piece and performing with much confidence and pride. 

To be honest, I am deeply touched by her performance. Who wouldn’t be amazed to see a girl without legs dancing better than others without physical deformity?

I hope Precious will be able to inspire other physically challenged individuals to practice their skills and be confident to show what they've got.


This video taken and uploaded by Mildred Conde Coyoca from Tacup San Remigio in Cebu City has gone viral, particularly in Social Media.

Jiro Manio: 'Magnifico' Needs Our Help

Magnifico (the movie) has touched many lives (including mine) and has perhaps changed the world in many little ways that the people behind this film couldn't even imagine.


Jiro Manio, Magnifico himself, has portrayed his role so well that made the viewers cry a river for several times in the movie. I even remember how my students (BSE English Majors) cried so hard (yes, many times) when I decided to let them see the movie, Magnifico - truly inspiring!

You may opt to read my previous post about Magnifico ... HERE.


According to INQUIRER.NET 
By: Jeannette I. Andrade @inquirerdotnet Philippine Daily Inquirer

"The country’s youngest multi-awarded actor, now apparently homeless, has found a home at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). For four days Jiro Manio, whose real name is Jiro Katakura, 23, has been wandering inside the NAIA terminal 3 living through the kindness of strangers, mostly employees. Clad in a hand-me-down shirt over shorts with a towel slung over his shoulder, Manio has been roaming the terminal lobby where the strip of fastfood restaurants are located, hoping for leftovers."

This is now a challenge to everyone. 

Let's help Jiro Manio and pass the good deeds on.

Thanks, everyone!
