If We Can't Have #AcademicFreezeNow, #InclusiveAcademicFlexibility is a Must

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Halos lahat din nang mga nag eenroll humihiling parin ng academic freeze gawa ng wala naman silang natututunan dahil. Maraming dahilan yan. Isa na jan yung napaka bagal nating mga internet services pangalawa more on nag papasa nalang ng mga module yung mga kapwa ko estudyante dahil nga ONLINE CLASS masyadong inaabuso ng IILANG MGA GURO yung pag sstay ng mga estudyante sa bahay. Kesyo hindi daw kami pwede umalma dahil nasa bahay lang kami edi marami silang ibibigay na gawain. And in fact napilitan lang naman yung ibang studyante na mag enroll gawa ng mapag iiwanan sila nang taon. At eto pa di pinapansin yung pag sasaad ng nga estudyante sa #AcademicFreezeNow mas pinag tuunan nila ng pansin yang white sand sa manila bay. Oo maraming mag sasabi na estudyante lang ako at wala akong alam sa mga nangyayare pero sana SANA LANG bigyang pansin naman natin yung mga taong humihingi ng pansin. Sa bansa kasi natin kelangan mo muna maging mayaman, maganda, makapangyarihan para lang mapansin ng nakakataas." - Angelo Gallardo, student

Quality Education amidst a pandemic?

Maybe we can let go of our call of freezing the school year for now,, but there's a new call we want to insist!

It is only possible if there is Academic Flexibility and Ease to provide learners with more options to choose on how to study during this pandemic.

As a laudable response for a better learning experience among the students, it is just and right to have such which will firmly benefit both the educators and the learners.

Can't the government see that students are already suffering? The system is only causing the students stress and anxiety. They are not learning anything!

No one is learning in this kind of system. It's like they are passing requirements for the sake of grades and not for the sake of learning anymore.

We're calling out the government/DepEd to have a better, concise and concrete plan.....and please prioritize those things which need to be prioritize.

We deserve better than this.

Fix the system!!!

"I agree. Hindi nakikinig itong gobyerno sa kanilang mamamayan when they are supposed to serve us being "public servants" kaso mga privileged "diktador" pala"

"Totoo. Lahat ng kilala kong nago-online class na ngayon, kita ko ang epekto sa kanila. Yung kapatid ko namamayat sa stress dahil sobrang daming papers na pinapagawa. Yung mga pinsan kong high school naman nasstress kasi pawala-wala ang internet sa bahay nila. Nung una akala ko kayang-kaya ang online classes, hindi pala ganun kadali."

#CancelNetflix Trends Over Cuties' Sexualization of Young Girls

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Controversial French film “Cuties” — about a young Senegalese girl in Paris who joins a “free-spirited dance clique” to escape family dysfunction — has spawned a new backlash against Netflix by critics who allege it goes over the line in portraying children in a sexualized manner.

The hashtag “#CancelNetflix” was the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter in the U.S. Thursday, after “Cuties” premiered Sept. 9 on Netflix.

A petition on Change.org calling on Netflix customers to cancel their subscriptions over “Cuties” and other content on the streaming service “that exploits children and creates a disturbing vibe,”

Thousands on Twitter call for a boycott of Netflix using a trending hashtag #CancelNetflix following the release of a controversial French film “Cuties”.

The movie had faced backlash for “sexualising children” and promoting anti-Muslim sentiments.

Demand Netflix to stop objectifying 11 year old girls and enabling pedophilia! 

Is it time we all end our Netflix accounts?  Are little kids sexualized and abused in Cuties? Don't we need to cancel Cuties instead of Netflix?

If you watch 11-year-olds twerk, you’re a pervert.

If you direct 11 year olds to touch themselves on camera, you’re a pedophile.

If you support Netflix making and airing #Cuties, you’re enabling abuse.

I know soft porn when I see it! I also know pedophilia when I see it. I am absolutely disgusted by watching 11 yr old girls grabbing their privates and pushing it in the screen like it’s for sale! WHAT IS THIS? 

Netflix’s reason for this movie is “to show sexualizing children is bad.” This is like saying murdering is bad, in fact, I’m going to murder someone to show that murdering is bad. Netflix really fell down.

However, it’s mind boggling that people want to #cancelnetflix instead of canceling the real issues. Yeah you can cancel Netflix for giving the movie a platform/distributing but also cancel these to pedos.

Susan Rice, Michelle Obama and Barack Obama are all associated with Netflix in very significant ways.

Why aren’t they rushing out to denounce this?

If they ever get to the point where they start defending paedophilia to own their political opponents, they are so far gone they'll need serious help.

Pedos be like: “They finally made a movie for us!"

The children were barely 11 years old. They didn't even have all their teeth grown.

What kind of pedophile does it take to come up with a scenario where a child will reveal his femininity? This baby is not even a girl! Racist-pedophiles!

Pedophilia is a crime. Child pornography is a crime. Stop sexualizing minors and normalizing pedophilia. This is fucking disgusting.

BACfilms is the same company that has a 13 year old topless in damn trailer it is not just netflix it is a pattern. Running naked fully nude with grown ups in a scene in the trailer.

A director on the Cuties set and a choreographer told 11 year olds to simulate sexual moves repeatedly. What they did should have them charged and registered as sex offenders. 

Imagine a director on set shouting, yes girls shake that *** to 11 Year Old Girls and the cinematographer zooming in and taking shots from all angles.

Dance is an expression. But this dance style it's kinda inappropriate for kids, the expression and the image the kids wants to show to the audience is seductive which its not a good image for them because this dance move is focus on being sexy and shit.

I don't know who approved this sh*t, but anybody who instructs children to act in a sexual way is a predator and a pedophile.

This is not okay. Has never been okay. Will never be okay. Hollywood and the rest those that “rule the world” can try to push to normalize this on us but we will fight back harder.

Why not use 18 yr olds? They still put those kids in that situation. There were still ADULTS with cameras zooming in on young girls, ADULTS suggesting they do things. They exploited them.  Does Hollywood itself not use adults as teens?

Can you guess what popular film festival gave "cuties" an award? 

It was Sundance! Child porn winning an award at Sundance Festival is why Hollywood Executives/Studios need to raided by the FBI.

Also, Sterling Van Wagenen, Oscar-winning filmmaker and co-founder of the Sundance Film Festival, has been charged with sexually abusing a 9-year-old girl. 

Something else that should be acknowledged: Rotten Tomatoes gave this vile movie an 88%. 

Matthew Lucas thinks pedophilia is “nonsensical controversy”

Monica lauds the director for being unafraid to explore pedophilia.

The pedophilia enablers are rampant on twitter too. 

Where the hell are the parents of these kids?

Too bad... This girl is too beautiful, she could have been in a movie like Stranger Things but instead they put her in a child porn adult movie, with no good reason for why?! But I wish her the best in her career, hopefully they didn't ruined it for her & the girls.

Is Netflix normalizing pedophilia and the exploitation of children? I know we love their shows and movies but are they more important than protecting our children? Is it time to #CancelNetflix and send a message? 

If a grown man girls to shake their ass in front of him, then he's a pedophile!

But in Hollywood, pedophiles call it filmmaking.

Generally speaking, I get annoyed by people who boycott companies for minor political differences, but Netflix has crossed a line that transcends politics. My belief in free speech ends when you start marketing pedophilia to the masses. 

If you are apart of the population that “isn’t seeing the problem” with this movie, you’re the problem.

Pedophilia should NOT be normalized.

Bully Us All You Want, But There Are Many Reasons Why You Should Love Filipinos

Wazzup Pilipinas!

There are so many reasons why to love my country, the Philippines. But the best reason why it is more fun in the Philippines is because of its people.

Thus, it is surprising why some would think negatively of my countrymen.

In particular, there was this recent trending topic involving Filipina Tiktoker Bella Poarch involving her tattoo with the Korean symbol that offended Koreans. The Tiktoker apologized, but the hate of those certain Koreans were too toxic to quickly forgive this she got bullied on social media....and among the hurtful words were thrown towards the Filipino people, generalizing us as a whole with unflattering words such as "uneducated" and "short."

Pinoys relationship with each other is sibling like. We fight, mock, and insult each other. But when other people say bad things about us, we are ready to even lift Thor's hammer just to hit on the head those who belittle our race.

Insulting any race and country is never right. We Filipinos may have good hearts and friendly in nature, but we are never silenced when we are not treated just. We strongly stand and raise our flag.

Yes, we are proud to be Filipino. We are proud to be Pinoys and would always raise our flag wherever we go, whether to visit or stay for good, we would never turn our backs to our fellow Filipinos, and we will never ever feel disgraced of our country, the Philippines.

Aside from making the hashtag #CancelKorea trend on Twitter, Filipinos also made the hashtag #Philippines trend as well by flexing several photos of the different destinations in the country.

Now that Koreans are apologizing with the hashtag #SorryToFilipinos, I hope Filipinos likewise stop from making racists comments about them too. We should trend the hashtag #CancelRacism instead of cancelling out the entire country of Korea since we are sure those who bashed Bella do not represent the entire country. Let's learn, forgive and move on. Enhance our diplomatic relations with each other instead.

We can't beat racism with racism. Neither can we defeat one's stupidity with another stupidity. Why cancel the whole country for the idiocy of some of their citizens?

Criticizing a whole country for what some said is prejudice. Acting as if all Koreans believe in this way. How they approached the situation and said was absolutely out of line, but that is not Korea and never will be.

Filipinos shouldn't be toxic either. We also have oyr shortcomings - addiction to social media and other online content including games and online kasyno, over infatuation to foreign entertainers like KPop and JPop idols, excessive splurging on the latrst mobile phone models, and overeating since there are so many food establishments that opened up in our country.

There are racists & idiots everywhere. Were you among them? Well it is never too late to change as well.

After all, we are Korean KPop's biggest fanbase. The KPop artists do not deserve to be included among the hated Koreans.

Here are more reasons why many people all over the world loves the Philippines:

We have the longest and the happiest Christmas Celebration (starting from September to December)

Filipinos are hospitable (magiliw sa pagtanggap ng panauhin) - we would gladly receive you in our homes and serve you with the best that we have.

Filipinos are respectful - we use "po" & "opo" whenever we talk to someone older than us and we do the "mano" gesture as a sign of respect to our elders. This is why foreigners prefer Filipinos to take care of them.

Filipinos are resilient - no matter what challenges, disasters, and failures we face, we always rise up from any calamity or tragedy with a smile on our faces. Always.

Filipinos are creative and resourceful - we improvise and make use of the resources available on hand to create and produce what we need.

Filipinos are generous and helpful - we share even the littlest we have to others who need it the most. This can also be witnessed during disasters when the spirit of "Bayanihan" is awakened in the hearts of Filipinos.

Filipinos are responsible, dependable, dedicated, and hardworking - we are proud to have these genuine traits which makes us the preferred workers of many employers

We will keep using the hashtag #Philippines to promote how beautiful and amazing our country is. Of course, as mentioned earlier, It's more fun in the Philippines because of the Filipinos.

Join us in sharing on social media what we love about the Philippines or what makes us proud to be a Filipino! Let's all show the world that there are a multitude of reasons why everyone should love, and not hate, Filipinos.
