Extending LRT Hours

by: John Dave Ison - Sony a6700

Late-night commuters, especially students and workers, face increasing risk when trying to get home after hours.

(Photo was taken at around 6PM, 3 hours before the LRT station closes)

Many rely on public transportation like the LRT, but the current operating hours leave them stranded with a few options, especially in the late evening when safety becomes a concern.

Extending the LRT's operating hours could provide a safer and more reliable alternative to waiting for jeepneys or other modes of transport.

For those leaving work or school late, the extended LRT service would ease the stress of commuting, providing a more secure way to travel during the nighttime hours.

By extending the LRT's operating hours, we can ensure that students and employees can return home safely, without having to worry about the dangers of late-night commutes.

A simple adjustment in the LRT schedule could significantly improve the safety and well-being of countless commuters, giving them peace of mind on their way home.

Dear Diary,

My 1st semester was amusing, ecstatic, fulfilling, and exhausting. I was actually excited and kinda nervous on our first day of school as there were a lot of new faces around the classroom. Luckily, I saw some familiar faces, so I survived the dilemma on our first day. I was surprised by the teacher's way of giving quizzes, assignments, projects, and performance tasks, down to the exams. I had 2 years of online classes, so adjusting to the face-to-face setup was difficult. I also made new friends and I am grateful to have them around because we help each other especially when it comes to academics. It is also exhausting because the school made a lot of events plus we also have to meet some deadlines in order to avoid any deductions. Moreover, some of the tasks for me are hard but surprisingly I still manage to pull them together. I also managed to get on the honors list despite my struggles this first semester. Overall, I look forward to fulfilling my goals this school year and I hope I can still manage my time for my mental health. xoxo, Kim.

My Dream Escape

One of my dream escapes is to go to a beach resort far away from the pollution and noise of the city. Just imagine waking up in your room to see this view that possesses such beauty? Blissful, right? At first, I honestly don’t know any beach resort but I remembered that ONE. Luckily, I found it in the internet and called as Stilts Calatagan Beach Resort. 

[noreenmagboo-21stiltscalatagan]

Why Stilts Calatagan Beach Resort?

The reason why I chose Stilts Calatagan is because of Seventeen, a K-POP boy group in South Korea. I watched their behind-the-scenes video for their album and it features this resort. 

At first, I’m not aware that there is a place like this located near Metro Manila. Somehow, I think it gives off a vibe like in Maldives. I am in awe when I found it on the internet. Yes, the rates are expensive but I think it’s worth the money.
