by Bea Mae B. Masujer   One of the factors that led to the tragic death of this delivery rider is poverty, an angle that because they are financially unstable he needs to push himself to work that day even though it is dangerous caused of bad weather. According to a Social Weather Stations study, half of all Filipino households identified as poor in March 2023 a figure that did not significantly differ from December 2022 with a steady percentage number of 51% who consider themselves to be poor, because of this scenario it is very sad that even though it's a matter of life and death situation job Filipinos would still grab that opportunity enable for them to provide in their family. The reality is that Philippine development is still too slow for Filipinos to have a decent life to live every day.  NEWS: https://bawaannews.blogspot.com/2023/04/dead-body-of-delivery-rider-has-been.html  

  by Adrian T. Organo  If it is true that the suspects were tortured and threatened the safety of their families by the authorities, the court should pay attention to this issue. It must be investigated, for us to know the truth. Another thing that should be focused upon in the investigation is the person who is really the prime suspect of the crime. In regards to this chaos case, many side stories were heard and all of the stories have different angles, points, and prime suspects, but one thing is for sure to be very disturbing is the allegation of torturing the suspects well in my own opinion if the investigation is still on process everyone must presume to be innocent until it was proven that they are guilty of the crime so any punishment must not be done first. However, in the claims of the suspects they were tortured and it seems like authorities took advantage of their position and abused their power which was absolutely wrong.  NEWS: https://bawaannews.blogspot.com...

by Princess T. Rull  Photo from People Website  Israeli actress Gal Gadot was Margot Robbie's first option to play the iconic Barbie role in the movie Buzz “Barbie”.  In an interview with Vogue that was published this week, Margot Robie said that her first option for Barbie role casting is Gal Gadot due to her "Barbie energy" vibe but unfortunately, the actress was not available for the role. However, even though she wasn't available, the Israeli actress ended up acting as a sort of casting guide for Robbie and Greta Gerwig, who co-wrote and directed "Barbie."  She said in the interview,  “Gal Gadot is Barbie energy,” Robbie said. “Because Gal Gadot is so impossibly beautiful, but you don’t hate her for being that beautiful because she’s so genuinely sincere, and she’s so enthusiastically kind, that it’s almost dorky. It’s like right before being a dork.” The genuineness that Gadot brought to her role as Diana Prince, a.k.a. Wonder Woman also inspires Robbie...

  by Zarah Mae B.Negado COMMENT:  Bushfires are natural, periodic fires that break out among overgrown vegetation. This is common, especially now that we are experiencing climate change, and it can occur anywhere. They can still be very dangerous and cause significant property damage if the fire escalated and was out of control. While you can't stop them from starting completely, you can take steps to make your own property safer if fires occur. With some careful planning, you can stop fires from spreading, for example, by removing weeds and other overgrowth from your area. With this method, if there is a bushfire, the damage will not have such a great impact. Always keep the environment clean and be observant of the surroundings to avoid tragedies like bushfires.

  by Zarah Mae B. Negado COMMENT:  Many people face problems due to a lack of lifesaving and sustaining assistance in the whole world. Elderly people and especially children who are experiencing pain and malnutrition due to a lack of food and nutrients, even if they themselves do not say that they need help, their bodies show that they really need support from the government and people with good hearts to give them enough funds for food supply. This is one of the worsening results of climate change that is felt indiscriminately by people. So we need to take steps, for example, we need to respect and protect green spaces and plant more trees. In this way, the worsening effect of climate change might be changed. This issue also affects the development of specific countries it decreases the poverty rate and the well-being of the community will be affected too.  NEWS: https://bawaannews.blogspot.com/2023/05/substantial-funds-are-needed-for.html

  by  Aprille Paula O. Salvino COMMENT: The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has raged for a long time. Aside from the devastation it produced in both countries and the people who lived in them, it also had significant repercussions in neighboring countries. Since the beginning of the war between the two countries, there has been significant inflation in food and oil prices all around the world. Helping other countries in need is a wonderful thing, but it's also a good thing that they're not encouraging both countries to keep fighting for the sake of the people who suffer the most from the impacts of conflict.

by  Aprille Paula O. Salvino COMMENT:     Crime incidents affect not only the individual involved but also the community and society. People who observe them may experience shock and trauma. It also has an impact on the economic productivity of the area where the crime occurred by reducing tourist and retail sales. But it was really sad that this crime incident happened to one family whose victim and suspect are blood-related thus this means that even though blood is thicker than water if problems in the family escalated the consequences may result in the worst scenario like this one. So it is very advisable that if there's a problem try to fix it in a calm conversation as we all know that communication is a key to solve the problem sometimes.

  by  Aprille Paula O. Salvino COMMENT: An earthquake is a natural tragedy that no one can foresee or prevent. As a result, the harm it causes is serious and devastating each time it occurs. An earthquake could destroy infrastructure, agricultural land, and people. Because this earthquake has a long-term economic impact, it is usually necessary to rebuild infrastructure, transportation networks, and people's homes. This is cost-consuming, as reconstruction usually demands huge investments in the damaged area resulting in a decreased performance of economic development of the identified areas affected by the earthquake.  NEWS: https://bawaannews.blogspot.com/2023/05/a-magnitude-48-earthquake-hits-town-of.html

  by  Aprille Paula O. Salvino COMMENT: Being a part of a high-performing school or university in the whole Bicol Region has an impact on society's view, particularly students. Many students would want to attend a university with an impressive reputation; it will also motivate present students to keep getting better. Furthermore, teachers and professors will be pushed to better educate their students so that they would be equipped with abilities that they may apply once they graduate. This was also proof that the quality of education we have in our school was excellent, resulting in many graduate students passing their licensure examination to hold credibility in searching for good jobs and expanding more opportunities for them to explore.  NEWS: https://bawaannews.blogspot.com/2023/05/top-performing-universities-in-bicol.html
