The Philippines has been upholding traditions that stem its origins from our ancestors and are being carried up until the present. While there are attempts to continue this legacy built by our forefathers, some of these traditions have become outdated due to the innovations that are slowly being discovered from time to time.

Dearest Filipino public, It’s disappointing to see how most of you (the older generation) are reacting to the passing of the Absolute Divorce Bill. Yes, I had to point out (I’m Gen Z, btw) that it’s the older generation reacting completely negatively to this bill, but all the while it isn’t that surprising at this […]
