Hero of Philanthropy

[The Media Personality that greatly influences me is Angelica Locsin. Angel Locsin Colmenares was born on 23rd  of April, 1985 in Santa Maria, Bulacan. Since at the age of 14, Angel Locsin lived with her father, Angelo Colmenares, and has no contact with her mother, Emma Colmenares. She studied at St. James College in Quezon City for her primary education and finished high school at the UST High School in Manila. In 2007, she attended a short-course for fashion design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. Despite being of Christian faith, she is a part of a Muslim Royal Family in Marawi City in the province of  Lanao del Sur through her mother.

Angel Locsin was discovered at a shopping center by a talent scout. She then auditioned for several commercials and was supposed to be a part of ABS-CBN's Star Circle Batch 9, but failed to sign a contract because her father opposed the idea. Later, she became a contract star of GMA Artist Center, first appearing on the second season of the teen-oriented series. She is best known for playing the Philippine superhero “DARNA”, because of her great acting skills there her showbizness offer, increases. And with her upbeat and often inspiring personality, Angel makes friends easily and attracts people from all walks of life. She has a way with words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. Having a heart of gold made her famous too.

I often see her on the Television like interviews, commercials and I saw her last 4 months ago on her action drama “The General’s Daughter”. I often see her too on Facebook and Twitter when there are netizens saw her helping on those affected of calamities, donating goods.

One of the writers at Forbes named her as one Hero of Philanthropy because she donated 15 million pesos for educational scholarships for students, supporting the economic and political rights of indigenous people, and for violence against women and children. Recently, Angel donated 1 million pesos and distributing truckloads of relief supplies to victims of earthquakes that struck Mindanao in October. She is an angel not just by name but in selfless deeds.

She influenced me to help those who are in need that no matter how high your status in life never forgets to help. We don’t need a cape or superhero costume to become a hero, showing a simple act of kindness towards others can be called a hero. We need to have humanity, to stand what is right, and to end the violence against women and children.

Never let your pride eats you, It’s better to communicate than never

First, let’s define communication.“What is Communication?”

Communication is a process where information is enclosed in a package and is channeled and imparted by a sender to a receiver. The receiver then decodes the message and gives the sender feedback.

The importance of communication is it enables me to pass or spread information to other people. It is important for me because it will help me in the future like applying for jobs and ensuring co-workers that I can able to manage interactions with other people. It strengthens my relationship with others because having communication I can able to know others' thoughts, opinions, or anything that you want to know that could build a solid foundation, that nobody could ever break. It can relieve my stress or anxiety, by telling or discussing, what is running on my mind, because they will help me by giving a piece of advice that can help me to see my problems into a new perspective. It increases my confidence, like when I say something that they can like, they will value or praise what I've said. As technology arises, communication tools increased. One of these is the Internet. Having the Internet is the easiest way for us to communicate. As a millennial, the internet is the most useful tool for me to communicate like when I want to talk to my loved ones, friends, and classmate whose far away from me, I can use the Internet to communicate with them. I became dependent on the Internet, but I'm reducing the usage of it, I will use it if there is an emergency. But if there is no emergency at all and I have my free time, I will go personally to talk to them.

Since social media become communication for daily communication with loved ones, friends, and classmates. We tend to use gadgets too much so that we prefer to browse news on social media than to watch on television and ask from a reliable source because on social media the information was not all detailed. We can browse yes, but we should have critical thinking. Having a mind whose thinking critical is important, so we can find out information if it is fake news or not or if the news that we are reading is from a reliable source. And when buying on online shops, we buy things without knowing if the seller is legit or not.
