For us natives, such as lumads of Bukidnon who lived in the remote and mountainous areas of the Province, "Kaamulan Festival" is not just an ordinary festivity but also an avenue for us to tell the world about our stories--stories that is just too good to be true that once in our lives we have lived and survived a generation with the help of the great tool we've developed like this stone grinder--a tool we use to grind our favorite staple food such as corn back then when grinding machines weren't yet available and when we're still left behind by the

We may rarely see it being used today unless for a cultural show and presentation, but we're still lucky we have them now physically, able to touch and feel in our hands, and isn't just laying in a piece of paper, printed.

Reaction Paper for the movie The Count of Monte Cristo

The Second Part of the Reaction Paper on the Count of Monte Cristo Movie. The Count of Monte Cristo is a great story that helps you to realize how far the reaches of vengeance can really go. When the Count is going around ruining people it seems like he is more of a machine than a person. It seems like he has no emotions and can’t forgive the people who hurt him. Although some people might argue that the people who wronged the Count truly had what was coming to them, some of the Count’s actions could be seen as unnecessary.

Pluggle Review: 6 Reasons Why I doubt Pluggle and Why I'm Not Joining

First thing first, I am not concluding that this Pluggle is a scam because as per my observation and as far as my knowledge is concerned, people including my close friends seems profiting from this scheme and got the money they invested into it in a short period of time, and with profit ( although I'm sure the return of investment they got was paid by the people they invited and not from the company itself ). I think there's no doubt as to their legitimacy because, YES they are legitimate and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Philippines as PLUGGLE INC. Are they scam? " Scam " is defined as a " dishonest scheme or a fraud ", are they being dishonest? I think no because they intend to do what they say. Are they " fraudulent "? Fraud is defined as " wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain "? This is also vague but I think I was struck by the last pa
