Tadpols when I think of what we used to do when we were kids I just laugh. There was a small stream where the neighbourhood kids used to come together with containers then get into the stream and start catching the tadpols.usually it’s th3boys who used to go ahead and catch them while we watch from afar. So I remember telling them that they were not fish they were frogs but they wouldn’t listen, so we would play around them and watch them grow but at some point my big brother pours it out. It was adventourous to do such things but not anymore

But now, our kid’s play will be halted because of some ordinances and laws prohibiting people to catch them. For the good of human kind we need to follow the rules.

I have never heard this kind of ordinance. What I know is about the protection and preservation of endangered species in plants and animals. But tadpoles seem to be “weird” I should say. In any manner, it is a good move. Your government deserves to be lauded. In our country, there are various laws and ordinances protecting the environment including those on the air, on land and on the sea. Well, logically, these tadpoles probably are also included.

Frogs are exotic foods. People cook them and eat. Frog delicacy is delicious. It tastes good and it is good for the body. By the way, these tadpoles have reminded me of my early days. We used to catch them from the canal where we always passed after our classes. They’re so many of them in the canal, swimming to and fro. We picked them up and placed them inside the small bottle. We enjoyed watching them inside the bottle. When we’re done playing with them, we threw them back to the canal.

There are many tradition that filipinos must follow when one of their love ones passed away, like never ever leave a deceased unattended specially at night over their wake, praying for the repose of their soul, having bless the body by a priest, and offering mass for them.

I don’t know when it started or who started it, but there is one tradition that has developed in the United States that I really like and that I think shows honor to the departed and that is … instead of flowers for the grave, donating money to a charity or a non-profit foundation or any kind of good work. Usually it’s a contribution to an effort that the deceased was passionate about or maybe it’s continuing research on a sickness that was the cause of death of that person or something like that. The family would request that in lieu of flowers, make a donation to ________. It’s a lovely and practical tradition!

By the way it seems like the traditions that people used to have back in the days is slowly dying away. It’s high time that people stopped all this manner of traditions and just did things in the right way without having to do certain things. Like in our tradition it is said that when a father dies in a family the kids are supposed to shave their heads clean in respect of the dead we never knew what all the symbolized to date but it’s a good thing that most people are slowly walking away from this kinds of things that make no sense at all.

It is a fact that people are forgetting the old tradition. It is very pathetic when I was crossing from a road I saw funeral but very sad that there were a few persons with the funeral. Looking at this site my heart wept and really tears floated in my eyes thinking this that all old traditions are dying with the modernism

Is it our new civilization that is making the new generation away from the old cherished traditions. I think old traditions are dying like the some old species as Diasporas and flying and Phoenix….

All traditions will die withe passage of time but there are some traditions will never die on earth as
The Wedding Cake
Fresh New Idea:
The Bridal Shower
The Rings

very recently also there was an earthquake of 6.1 intensity in the Philippines. These are also common there. But, you are having a good warning system. your Government is capable of tackling this situation in an effective manner.

You can never be too careful about such calamities,because they come when you are unawares thereby causing a lot mayhem. The one thing I would like to ask is how those typhoons get their names, how do they get to be named the way that they are. But it’s better to be safe than never. The measures that th3 government has put is for a short period of time that could help but is it a lasting situation? This ar3 things that we cannot anticipate but the best we can do is to stay away from places that are prone to such dangers.

Yes. I do agree with you that the big boys have really not enjoyed the big toys like big cars, Helicopter, Airplane, and other Gadgets. They were asked to be satisfied with what they have. These toys were also not there. The parents were lucky. A big car costs about Rs.11 thousand and after bargaining comes to Rs.10 thousands.How can the parents afford for such big toys? Even now also everyone can not afford for such toys. Only children of rich parents can enjoy them. They do not come cheaply or by means of any donations or gifts.Hence, most of the children are now disappointed more than those of the big boys.

when my father bought a bear that drinks wine after giving key I showed it to all my friends and they were all enjoying it. After some time we forgot it and it became a toy for my sister’s daughter. The question of sharing the happiness was involved.

Do we have this sharing of happiness among the present children? Can he share his big car with his friends liberally? Even if he shares the parents interfere and ask him to remain inside the house compound and play with the big toy. They do not like him sharing the big toy purchased with his friends. This means, the element of sharing the happiness is missing among the children.

Time and again they remind their children about the cost of the big toy they purchased for him and not to show to his friends who may mishandle it and damage it.

THE ELEMENT OF SHARING THE HAPPINESS WITH COLLEAGUES THROUGH THE TOYS IS TOTALLY ABSENT AMONG THE CHILDREN OF THE PRESENT GENERATION.

Buying and playing with big toys is dream of the poor because they cannot buy these costly toys. the rich buy the costly toys and when a new toys like car, motor bike comes in the market they buy the big toys because they have money a lot that is why they forget every big toys. I have seen a lot money spending on the big toys make memory weak day by day that is why the rich cannot remind of their childhood and childhood memories.

While on the other hand, those who are poor cannot buy the big toys keep in mind all things present and past big toys and small toys because they have nothing but desire and desires cannot be slipped from the memory till death.

I think time wasting on the big toys is useless because big toys neither increases memory and wisdom nor makes men genius in any filed. Big toys mania makes greedy of more big toys and thus he or she becomes greedy and thus her or his eyes turn into evil eyes.

The best toy in the childhood is natural atmosphere and education that builds human character as role model for the coming generation.

I was watching this story on tv the other day and it is so unfortunate that people who ar3 so vulnerable ar3 th3 ones who get caught up in this kinds of things. It’s very sad that poverty can drive people into doing things that risk their lives If people had a way to make money and just take care of their lives, I doubt if we would be having such incidents. I wish some countries would come up with certain things or jobs that would help the lessfortunate in the society to avoid this kinds of things. I feel so sad that the maid could be executed because of someone else, while they got in jail the owner of the drugs comes out clean and safe. It saddens me but I cannot do anything.

I think the president should show some compassion, he may have strong stance against illegal drug but showing some favorable action not to the family but to the whole nation who are shouting for Mary Jane, he should do some move for the benefit of this modern hero Pinay.

I think there is no place for compassion. We are thinking from the platform of a common citizen. He might have viewed the case from the human point of view. How many innocent youth might have lost their beautiful days due to this drug trafficking? Because Veloso happens to be a woman he should consider his plea. If he takes such stand then the stand taken becomes diluted.

Because it is not only an issue pertaining to Filippino but also to Indonesia where there also the President bent upon chastising the drug pushers. He can not plead time and again his neighbouring country to show sympathy on her.

Such decisions appear to be quite indigestible. What about the efforts made by the police and other Agencies if the criminal is let lose? They lose confidence and control over the public. People will take these agencies very light. At the same time, the position comes back to the point of origin only.

The lady was kept in prison for the last 9 years and a decision for her execution was taken when Mr Duterte took charge of the office. Unfortunately, he had to take such decision which would have been taken by someone else if he had not been in the office.

The decision of president is not good and also not in favor of nation. I think that Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said Monday that he would not interfere if Indonesia decided to execute a Filipina inmate convicted of drug smuggling, whose case drew international attention last year.

“I told him about Mary Jane and … that Mary Jane brought 2.6 kg of heroin,” said Jokowi, as the Indonesian President is widely known, according to the Indonesian Cabinet Secretary’s website

The Philippine President had previously hinted that we would appeal for Veloso’s life. Before leaving for a regional summit in Laos on Sept. 5, Duterte said he “might just accept the system and plead for mercy.”

According to CNN Philippines, Veloso is due to give testimony in the trial against her alleged recruiters “very soon,” her lawyer said. The Philippine state department said her execution had been indefinitely deferred.
