TRAIN LAW: Give and take process

Last December 19, 2017, President Rodrigo Duterte signed the law of Tax Reformation for Acceleration and Inclusion Bill or the TRAIN Law for a simplex tax system for the Filipinos. It was effective last January 1, 2018.

Workers be more delighted because of the 0% tax that was brought by the TRAIN Law, if a worker has an annual salary of 2500,000 pesos. But then as they celebrate some Filipinos are suffering because of the sudden price increase in some goods. It was a give and take process.

Sofia Patricio, a Grade 12 Senior High School Student who was really a coke lover was astonished by the sudden increase of price. “From 12 pesos to 15 pesos? Malaki talaga ang tinaas, sobrang naapektuhan din kami pero maganda narin siguro ‘yon, kasi siyempre mababawasan na ang pag – inom ng soft drinks. Kaysa sa 15 pesos na softdrinks siguro tubig na lang” Sofia

Sugar-sweetened beverages that once without taxes are now a bit pricey because of the TRAIN Law, although milk products, 100% natural fruit and vegetables juices, and ground, instant pre-packaged coffee products are exempted to this law.

Hence, the said law will not only a burden, it is somehow helpful in some ways. Mang Orleng a trycicle driver who is also cigarette lover was also affected by the sudden price increase. Cigarettes are not an exemption for the law “Medyo nabawasbawasan na ang aking paninigarilyo dahil mahal na eh” Mang Orleng said. A pack of cigarettes that costs 30 pesos before is now 32.50 pesos and will increase 2.5 increments until 2022

#Roadtrips no more as the TRAIN Law affect the price of diesels. If you have your own vehicles and you always go on a trip, ready your pockets as the price of diesel increased. TRAIN Law imposes an 8 peso increase in petroleum products per liter and for diesel and kerosene, tax will now be P2.50-P3 per liter and will continue increasing until 2020.

Despite of this law, government has promised to give 200 pesos to poor families every month to cushion the impact of the law to the poor family.

We can’t have everything that’s the process of give and take and it is said that as the years go by, taxes will become higher and higher.

TRAVELOGUE

ROADTRIP

We planned for our trip; first we prepared the things we needed to bring, like foods, water, gasoline and tools that we will use for our motor cycle. And, upon going to our trip or destination, we took picture in every place we stop. While we’re riding on the motor cycle we made sure that were safe. When we were almost near to our destination, we already saw some beautiful scenery such as, mountains, sea, and more but an expected situation happened and we got sad of what we had because, some of the residence their kept on mining and destroying the mountains. When we already got there in Puerto Asul, we take a rest first and at the same time took some pictures. Right after we rest, we continued to travel to our next destination, the Kaybiang Tunnel which is a tourist spot. We stop and took a picture again of our surroundings and we didn’t miss a chance to take picture of our selves.

Minutes passed by, as we travel again it’s we passed through the tunnel until we saw the end of it. We took a rest again but this time, in round the sea side because the scenery is breath taking, so we took a picture and after that we decided to go home because sunset is about to arrive and we enjoyed the trip because of the lights that twinkle. The whistle of insects and the light coming from fireflies, but we can’t stop to felt nervous since the road is dark and there are countless streetlights, so that we drive safely because the road is going down and it is really rough.

When we finally reached the end of the mountain, we’ve got comfortable in our travel. Despite of the nervousness we had in us, we were very happy because it was our first time to experience to travel together with our friends. Thinking of moving apart made us feel sad because we really enjoyed the trip. It was really for us early to get out from there. The trip we had will served as a memory that we were always keep in our minds. We will never forget those memories we had with our friends. We are looking forward to having another round trip like that again, in the near future.

Reflective Essay

In my family I have a dad, a mom, a sister and three brothers. Before, my two brothers and I used to share rooms, it was a small room with a double deck bed. The upper deck is for my eldest brother and the lower deck is for my brother and I to share. I can describe that room as a small and messy one. Toy cars, guns and swords were all scattered in that room.

We never agreed to share rooms and we fought millions of times because I and my brothers were so impatient, hard headed and unruly.

Today, I realized that , that room serves as the foundation of the relationship with my brothers. It was a small and messy room because we used to play all night. Toy cars, guns and swords were the tools we used to reenact our favorite tv shows and cartoons. We never agreed to share rooms but we love to share rooms. And we fought millions of times but we spent billions pf happy memories in that room.

I cannot deny the fact that I hated them but I do love them with all my heart. I will always share and share this experience it is worth it and worth remembering.

Face your Fear (Narrative Essay)by Jheidee Araracap

Most of the people asking where I live, I answered them at Tanza,Cavite. The always follow-up question was " Do you know how to swim? ". Sounds funny but I answered them " No" with a smile on my face. I remember when I was in Grade School when I and my siblings went to swim. I almost drown because I went in part of the sea that is above my neck. Last summer, I worked as a receptionist in one of the resort here in Tanza,Cavite. That was Villa Excellance I worked there for almost two months. Before my summer job ends I received 15 person gate pass. The first thing that comes to my mind was my family for them to relax. After my shift, I decided to swim also. My second sibling thought our other sister to swim. I felt insecure that's why I decided to swim also. Ate Jonalyn thought us a little bit of basic swimming. I started to realize that my fear in water should be remove since, I'm already 17 years old. During that night, my sister thought me how to float in water, how to paddle and dive. It was a great night though since my younger sister who knows how to swim laugh at me. On my last day at Villa Excellance I was able to use the last ticket for gate pass. That was June 2, I'm with Ate Jonalyn, Ate Joyce, Jhone Fhei and Kuya Jeffrey. They came at Villa Excellance by 3 pm in the afternoon and my shift will end by 11 pm. I was suppose to end my shift by 11:20 pm but I refused, because one of our guest had a wound on her feet. So, I decided to give her first aid. Around 12 am, I'm still on my duty because no one will be left on Booth 1 that receives and check the bag of the guest. But Sir Jay, our manager told me to check out and get a rest with my family. I change my clothes and went to our cottage since it's already midnight and only few were swimming. That was the moment, I realized that all the fear of water I had was gone. I enjoy to swim with my siblings and Kuya Jeffrey. That workplace was not just about my responsibilities, it also thought me to overcome my fear.

Personal Essay

The denotation of confidence is “belief in oneself and one’s powers or abilities.” Everybody is lacking confidence in something; not everyone is perfect. Whether it be giving a speech in front of the class, competing in a large competition, or accepting one’s appearance. People lack the confidence needed to enjoy life.

I was starting to compare my life to others and comparing my look to other women. Social media isn’t the only way that a person can put themselves down, also our own personal obstacles. In between all of things. Women become overwhelmed and start to limit themselves, I know I do!

I hold myself to high standards and knowing that I was comparing myself to other people made me feel less beautiful. It made me less confident and it led me down the road of self-destruction. My mind was filled with what I could do and be rather than what I am doing now.

Nothing in this life will be easy, we will cry, laugh, scream and be silent. What you do to get over that wall is what defines you. There’s more than one way over a wall! Remember that!

We learn after our hard times what it means to love ourselves whole heartedly and how important it is to look in the mirror and say to yourself, “You are beautiful.”

Thinking positive thoughts enhances self-love and confidence. See how I told you that I was comparing myself, those thoughts resulted in me feeling less confident. I put down the phone and did things that made me feel beautiful and competent.

Thinking positive is not easy! With everything we as women go through already, positive thinking takes a lot of discipline. Your body regenerates itself with new cells creating new thinking and new habits.

Many people lack the self-confidence and self-esteem needed to live a happy and healthy life. Self-esteem is a confidence and satisfaction in oneself. These two things must be present in people's daily lives in order for them to believe that they have the ability to do anything. At this point in my life I am trying to gain the esteem I need to truly be happy. The best way to gain self-confidence is to look deep inside of yourself and believe that you have the ability to overcome all obstacles and challenges that you are faced with, on a daily bases, because our self-esteem is one of the few things that we have control over.

Self-confidence is something that cannot be taught. It is up to the individual to decide how much belief that they possess inside of themselves. I am at the point where I realize that I must first believe in myself before others will believe in me. Nobody teaches us to be happy or sad. They are natural feelings that come along as we develop mentally, physically and emotionally.

Think of this when you’ve hit a wall, I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. That helps me not stress myself with where I am in life. Instead of us encouraging women to be and act what they see on reality shows, we should be encouraging our women to love what they see first. Then love what you do and carry yourself with dignity and know that no one can take that away from you.

Trust yourself and work hard. Life gives no promises; all that the universe recognizes is your energy. You give out good energy, you will be given exactly what you give out.

-Razel Ann D. Orgonio

Personal Essay

The reality of life, that acceptance is really hard to get. When you are experienced discomfort and judgment from other people you feel disappointed and lot of questions will come to your mind – questions like “Why is it me?. Why not just other people ?”.Every one wishes to be accepted from whatever they have to whatever they can do.

That might seem like ironic heading coming after the preceding line, but hear me out , life is beautiful every time you’re able to accept something that has gone wrong . When you can feel good on the whole even though things aren’t going to your way, you know emotional freedom . What more could you ask for.

The opposite would be the people who shouts in despair ”not again , for God’s sake” when their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere or needs money. But what about people that don’t have food to eat.

We must learn to see and appreciate what we have and shift our attention from what we lost. I remember , whenever I experienced struggle when it comes to family issues, financial problems and any other needs I usually blame , people around me have a self- pity where in reality it’s all my fault , just to avoid judgement I usually play safe. But then one day found myself searching for a solution instead of complaining . like having personal talks, accepting the fact that I'm wrong and I’m not the only one who has problem and needs. Even searching in the internet, one thing I realize is “find a solution instead of complaining “however negative people drain everyone around them and complaining won’t change your situation for better either. You may think it makes you feel better, but it actually just keeps you down and it’s fruitless.

I remember I visited some sites and I found out some meaning of acceptance one of those is “acceptance doesn’t mean resignation. This doesn’t mean,’ if you think you can’t do something, accept it ‘-that would be giving up rather than accepting. Acceptance refers to your experience from moment to moment”. I agree, when you feel pain, whether it’s physical or mental. The natural reaction is to try to avoid feeling pain. This seems very sensible because sensation of physical or mental pain is unpleasant.

One of my greatest fears is that my parents will leave us, especially me. I was a young little Mama’s boy. I love my mother so much; I don’t want my mother out of my sight. Every night before we sleep, I want her to embrace me because if not? I will cry. As I remember when I was in primary level, she never fails to express her tender loving care for me like: she always brings me from our home to school then, she’ll wait until my class dismissal. And those efforts she spent for me really touches my heart. One day, unexpected challenge happened to me and to my family. I was so uncomfortable that time. My mother suffered from heat stroke, we don’t know what we are going to do. Even my sister in-law and my sister they don’t know how to help my mother. We don’t have any idea how to assess a stroke patient and the time passes by very fast. My mother was brought in many hospitals in manila until she was admitted to the Tanza Family Clinic that is near from our home. My mother had a blood clot in her brain which caused her to die. It’s was very hard for me because all I want is to be with her. It was very hard for me to that she will never come back. It is not easy every time I woke up, when every time I miss her presence and when in tough times that I needed her the most. I want her to witness all the achievements life has given me. But in my heart, I know she is very proud of me. That was one of the most unforgettable experiences happened in my life, when I was in Grade seven. Those happenings has taught me to be strong, to be brave even if I was young that time because in life there is always a challenge, a challenge that will help to be stronger one. As I walk in this journey, I encountered the most powerful one, the one who helped me to stand up eight times when I fell seven times. I learned to trust Him, I learned to love Him most, and I learned that life is not easy but it’s worth it. All we need is to wait and see the beauty of time that He will bring to us. There are lots of people who experienced big challenges in life, people who are in a big challenge right now, and people who want to give up their life. And if we are one of them, never give up! God is with us so no one can be against us. Always hold on to God and pray expectantly. -Crugie Boy A. Vitobina

Autobiography :)

I am Crugie Boy A. Vitobina, I was born on the dark cold night. My father and my mother were very happy because I am so cute and chubby. They were very responsible in terms of how they were going to give or provide me all those things I need.

I am a kind of person that is friendly, caring and a jolly but I am a slightly jealous, especially when I love that person. I have a Simple talent like singing, actually I am one of many worship leaders in our church.

I dreamed to be a Pharmacist someday and I want to put up my own business, a simple drug store but in some reason, I’d stop dreaming about that because of financial problem. but again “life is not about what you are lacking, it’s about how you dealt with it.” I have my second choice, I want to pursue BS Psychology and that is what I am preparing for now.

when I was a young little boy, I have fear that my parents would leave me, but then “Life is from God and he is the one who make decision when He will going to take it.” My mother died five years ago, it was the hard experience to me because I am the youngest in my four siblings and for how many days and night I want to cry and wish that I was with her. another thing, my family is not that supportive, instead giving courage there were the one who made me feel discourage.

Now, Ia m a Grade 1- Senior High School Student. there’s so many things to do, things to accomplish and by the help of our Father in heaven, I was able to do those things and I am always capable doing things with heart, because as what my mother said and my church friends said, I should put God first because if I prioritized God everything will be added unto me, those blessings, those things I need, He will give it to me. Now I am going to take another step of my of my life, I know that God will provide and He will transform impossible things into possible because He is powerful, He is great, in short God loves You and Me.

Autobiography

June 8, 1999 is the unforgettable day when I was born. According to my father he is prepared on that day that’s why when I came to this world I am a healthy and strong baby that’s why they are all happy and they view me us the big blessing in life. My parents give me a name base on the birthstone Agate that’s why this is my name. When I was a child I always want to play different types of game like tagu-taguan, tumbang preso, luksong baka and patintero.

I am a boy who loves to play computer games because for me playing this kind game is not boring that’s why I loves to play computer games with my friends is a huge happiness and we also build a strong friendship between each other. I’m also a responsible brother when my parents are not there I m the one who will take care of my younger brother and sister.

I realize that I want to become a great policeman some day but my father he does not want me to be a police man so I think another course who suitable for me and seaman is the second choice and father agree to that course.

When I was on elementary time I remember my father go to abroad to support our needs because we would not been in the marketplace so my father decided to go to abroad and after a year past by my father get home I m happy but I’m sad again because he was not too long and get to abroad again. Grade 10 my father came back and surprises me and my family because he did not tell us he would go home he bought me a cell phone and my sister, so far still use it.

In my life I realized that how hard the challenges and struggle you experience positive because it makes you a strong person because you have strength to overcome your challenges in life. And the most important lesson is never give-up on your dreams keep working until you achieve your goals in life.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

My name is Ana Hazel M. Pareja. I was born on November 18, 1999 in Calaca, Batangas. My parents are Ramir and Myrine Pareja, and I have four siblings, three brothers and a sister.

Looking back at my childhood, I and my brothers used to play games when I was a child but I started attending school at the age of six. I was never a big fan of studying because as a young and naive little girl, all I wanted to do is to play, play and play. My mother used to say that I and my brothers should play at weekends and we should do school stuffs during our weekdays but I love to play so in the end I will stay outside and play until my mother fetch me, remembering her face, she's always furious.

When I was in Grade 7, I found 40 amazing individuals, with them I found my peace. I can say that having them in my life is a blessing and a curse at the same time. A blessing because I learned a lot from them like, I have friends, I am not alone and to also keep myself open for others. And a curse because I can't imagine myself without them.

When I was in Grade 11, those 40 individuals, we parted ways so entering Senior high was never easy for me. I adjusted a lot of things because the environment and the people that I used to is now different. I cannot deny the fact that the present people and environment are amazing but it's too much to handle. But in the end, I kept myself, I did not change it because I wanted them to accept me whoever I am.

Today, I am the same person they all knew. It is because of my friends who taught me to stay who I am and my parents who taught me how to dream big, to always look at myself as a successful individual and to always accept failures that can be used as a guide in a better life.

My Autobiography

I’m Jheidee Gutierrez Araracap, my mother told me when I was a kid I’m so quite yet funny. I always wanted to be with my grandfather. I remember when I was in pre-school, it was election period and I was different pictures of candidates for election. I always ask my grandfather who they are and what they wanted. Then my grandfather told me that he wanted me to be a lawyer because I always have funny reason towards his answers. Although I sound funny, every time I reason out I tend to be shy with other. I mostly observe people and their attitude before I talk to them. I also have a sarcastic personality. It started when I was in high school due to different attitudes of my classmates. One of my weakness is failure, despite of that weakness I come up with motivation that always give my best out of my action and decision. Having a friendship for me is not about how long did you know each other it’s about the time you spent memories together and how important you are for them. Our parents wanted us to finish our school and have a decent work for us to help our other cousins. Like other family we experienced financial problem due to lack of income of my parents. I decided to work since it was summer vacation. I stayed in the restaurant for more than two months. I just visit my family weekly. Every time I receive my salary I give it all to my mother without hesitation. I also keep my personal problem to myself because I don’t want them to think that I’m not in good condition, they stop me to work. After summer job, I apply at McDonald’s Tanza as a working student. I become a crew for a couple of months and I did all that sacrifice for my parents. I want them to be proud of me and to be independent also to help them. That situation and experience not went smoothly I felt weak physically due to lack of sleep and rest, I told my mother that I wanted to resign she said “Bahala ka “. I felt so sad to what was that mean is she happy, angry or what. I resigned, after few weeks we started to feel once again the financial problem. My mother did not blame me but she sound like that. We talked about it and apologized of how she reacted. Then my older sister gave our mother enough money to support my study. We tend to judge the situation by our emotion but let’s also try to look at the others feeling for us to have the idea that is good not only for us but also to other. Right now, I’m Grade 12 student still dreaming for my future and for my family. I became mature due to the challenges I encountered. I’m not afraid about the future, because I give the best shot out of my action and decision with faith in God and respecting other.

First thing first I’m Mariel R. Reyes , was born in cold daylight in Tagaytay at July 2,1999.According to my mom ,I was born in a normal way that she did not have any problem at all.

My christening occurred when I was one year old at the same time my parents wedding , and that’s what make my christening special.Then at an early age my mom observed that i was too happy and importunate. And because of that they admitted they had trouble raising me given that I’m their first child and because I’m too stubborn.

But at age 9 my mother sent me to grandfather’s care.Yes i was happy that time because he is my favorite grandfather but I can’t avoid being sad because of the low age of being separated from them.But my grandfather did everything to take care of me well and I just started working on his advice as I focused on studying.

The dream was a guide to my efforts. It was my inspiration to continue even though i have disapointments in life but my grandfather said that “I have trust in you not because your my grand daughter its because I see some courage in you”. My dream was to be a teacher and a policewoman.

And when I finished grade 5 my mom took me from my grandfather’s. I admitted that I’ve been in the past three years I’ve never thought about my mother and I just focused on my grandfather and my studies.I learned that while I lived with my grandfather, she currently living in the Tanza, Cavite and she brought me there but I still did not live with her instead I lived in my relatives. My mother lives with my another relatives and is close to where I live so that I’m contented upon visiting her from time to time. At that time I thought how hard life was so I need to study to help my mother ,it lasted for a year .

But my father found enough work to rent a home here so we competed , I was happy and promised that I would not be angry with them because I knew that they were having difficulty also.

Honestly now I still had a little bit dissapointment .I sometimes wondered why they me to send me to my grandfather.But I actually contented now and I’m focusing on my dreams for many reasons and one of reasons are my parents and of course to my grandfather.
