		<description><![CDATA[“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children” – so goes the Native American saying. The crying earth has no more tears to shed because the people dried them all up!

Have you ever been to Cagayan, Palawan, or Mindoro? They are great with splendid places that are rich in minerals and natural resources. With those blessings comes a risk, for these havens are precious targets of mining companies. Some groups of people from these places are doing all they can to prevent such from happening. Why do they shy away from opportunities that could make our lives better when poverty is eating the hearts out of our society?  What in sense of logic does a thing like this prove?

Ooops...  Logic is bi-polar you know?

“The Filipino soul in Dance”, upon hearing this one can easily infer what the topic of the forum would be – the identity of the Filipino as seen in the Filipino dances.

The speaker, Mr. Ed Lapiz, is said to be the right person to speak about the topic because of his knowledge regarding the topic and since he had received awards and recognition on the said field. Mr. Lapiz is the organizer and artistic director of Kaloob Philippine Music and Dance Ministry, “a worship team of artists and scholars committed to the research, redemption and promotion of indigenous culture for use in contemporary Christian worship.” <a href="http://princesaeiya.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/oneness-in-dance/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=princesaeiya.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6180615&amp;post=246&amp;subd=princesaeiya&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Philosophers and thinkers have acknowledged the vital role of the youth in the development of a society. One of the most quoted lines of Jose Rizal in fact delivers this message; the youth is the hope of the nation. The Philippine Constitution also recognizes this. In Article II, Section 13, it is stated that “The State recognizes the vital role of the youth in nation-building and shall promote and protect their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being. It shall inculcate in the youth patriotism and nationalism, and encourage their involvement in public and civic affairs.”

Youth participation, indeed, plays a key role in determining the future of a nation. But there must first be a venue wherein they are given the chance to be involved in shaping their society. This is where the responsibility of the State comes in. As the promoter and keeper of the law, it has the duty to provide the respective venues wherein the youth can actively participate (in accordance to Article II, Section 13 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution). It also has the duty to encourage the youth in nation building and ensure that they would be a responsive collective. <a href="http://princesaeiya.wordpress.com/2010/10/08/analyzing-the-sangguniang-kabataan/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=princesaeiya.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6180615&amp;post=179&amp;subd=princesaeiya&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People say that one can learn more outside the classroom; that is, experience can tell more than what the book says. So our class (PS197: Special Topics in Political Science: Indigenous Peoples), decided to have an exposure trip in a community of Dumagat in Rizal.

The goal of the exposure trip is to better understand the situation of Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines through the case of Dumagats. This involves learning if they are able to preserve their culture, understanding their political processes, and knowing the problems that they encounter as members of a vulnerable group, which we know as the indigenous peoples. Living with them even just for a day is better than a whole year studying about them in the classroom. <a href="http://princesaeiya.wordpress.com/2010/09/22/just-for-a-day/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=princesaeiya.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6180615&amp;post=161&amp;subd=princesaeiya&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
