Heneral Artikulo Uno

There was a buzz going on about the movie, Heneral Luna. Reviews said that it was a phenomenal portrayal of some parts of the Philippine history. So one afternoon me and my blockmates went out on our spare time to watch the movie at Glorieta 4. 

 As the first scene went by, showcasing how hard life back then was when the Americans were colonizing the Philippines. 

 

Antonio Luna was deemed one of the best military strategist by his counter parts. His expertise in the field of war made him in par with the generals America had to offer. He wouldn't have nothing else but the freedom of his motherland. 

The movie delighted us with excellent display of acting, pre-post war preparations made by the past Filipinos, corrupt existing then as it were the present, the unraveling love of General Luna to the nation he gave his life for, and many more. 

The movie was made with a lot of drama and suspense. From simple misunderstanding that leads to killing to another, to how one man's love for his country tolled his very own life. It is very sad yet educational for the young viewers.

Anti-Smoking Campaign

I think this is a good campaign for those who haven't tasted the addicting nicotine of cigarettes. As a smoker myself, I can say that it is very hard to go by a day without lighting one stick of Marlboro.

Cigarettes are very addicting and bad for the health. So why do people still continue inhaling those wrapped tobacco plants that produces carbon monoxide? The answer lies on them.

We cannot have a say on what others should be doing in there life. Everybody has there reason why they smoke cigarettes in the first place.

One main thought is that cigarettes can help calm people down. I am not a scientist to know what exactly makes us feel calm when we smoke a stick, nonetheless it still helps on some people's lives.

The problem lies in the pollution it gently exhales, as so they said. But I think that it is the constant littering of the cigarettes butts by the masses, that it can have a massive effect in our sewer pipes, thus floods occur when a typhoon passes by.

I have nothing to say anymore because I do not agree with the campaign. Alternatives can be uphold for everyone's peace. Here is what I think should be the best solution:

Having a specific space for smokers.

Warn the youth, and not those who are already considered, smokers.

Waste management program for those people who can't place their cigarette butts in the proper trash bin.

I hope you guys find my opinionated piece educational and meaningful.
