10. It's all about Angela Marie Manalang-Gloria


       Angela Marie Legaspi Manalang was born on August 23, 1907 in Guagua, Pampanga to parents, Felipe Dizon Manalang (born in Mexico, Pampanga and Tomasa Legaspi whom she hardly mentions. However, their family later settled in the Bicol region, particularly in Albay. Caring—as she is fondly called—studied at St. Agnes Academy in Legaspi, where she graduated valedictorian in elementary. In her senior year, she moved to St. Scholastica's College in Malate, Manila, where her writing started to get noticed.


    
     
      Angela Manalang was among the first 

generation female students at the University


 of the Philippines. Angela initially enrolled


   in law, as suggested by her father.However,


    with the advice of her professor C.V.

    Wickers, who also became her mentor, she

     eventually transferred to literature.





She was the author of Revolt from Hymen, a poem protesting against marital rape, which caused her denial by an all-male jury from winning   
         The Philippine's Commonwealth Literary Awards in 1940. She was also the author of the poetry collection, Poems, first published in 1940 (and revised in 1950). The collection contained the best of her early work as well as unpublished poems written between 1934-1938. 

    Her last poem, Old Maid Walking on a City Street can also be found in the collection. This book was her entry to the Commonwealth Literary Awards, losing to Rafael Zulueta y da Costa’s verse Like the Molave.

9. Why LGBT COMMUNITY should be respected?

      
     
       It's one of the most controversial issue. It's not only happened in the Philippines but it also happens around the world. Many people are still criticizing the gender equality of a person and they don't think what would be the effect of this to a people. Well, I'll state my opinions for this issue.



     
        Why gender is important? Gender is important because it defines you who you love and who you respect and also who you believe. But what matters is your behavior. There are lots of people underestimated gays, even other countries does. My sympathy is for all the Lgbt members out there.

        
         All they need is LOVE and RESPECT. They believe in god and that's true. LGBT COMMUNITY stands to protect the Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual and Transgenders. The world should be good to everyone and every person should help each other to build a good country and relationship.

       
         There are types of Transgender. The first one is Pre-op it means that you're still having a man's organ eventhough you're taking hormonal pills. The second one is Post-op which is a Transgender was done in a Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS), It means that you have a female organ. Transgender women exists! and I would like to educate you and make you realize humans that they're not a gay anymore. Because when they were a young children they act like a biological women and they are already accepted by their family and they act like a female and they dress up like a girl.

          
        All we need is respect and support not hatred and violence because as you always watching television to become updated. Many people are killing and spitting shame to the gays. My answer is What's wrong with gays? They are the ones who makes people happy and they are the ones who have determination to become successful in life. They already feel the struggles and the destruction of life and the world should appreciate their existence and experience. We are beautiful in our own way and We are who we are because we're just expressing our real identity and we're so proud for being ourselves.

       LGBT MEMBERS are not a bad person. People should learn from it because god made us and all we need is love equality not war. We can be friends and lovers not warriors.

What I want you to realize is to appreciate our presence and beliefs because some people support the way we dressed up and the way we act. Some of them are good and love the way we live our lives.

WE WANT PEACE and GENDER EQUALITY. Support love not hate and discrimination because it doesn't help us.

8. Memories on (SOM WEEK)

   

              School of Management, And Yes! It's our week. Many students are preparing for this awaited event. They have a lots of activities to join with. Lots of fun and more adventures. We first joined the TMYSTERY, You have to investigate what was happened to Luisa the daughter of Jose Roberto. At first, I feel pressured because of the scary objects inside the room but with the teamwork we gathered inside I became more brave.
   
         It's very exciting to be an investigator. You have to search and answer the questions they might give you with your friends. We entered the room in 4:30pm and given a time of 30 minutes to finish the quest. I am afraid to the sound and the shout of the students inside. Hahahaha.
