The annual walk for a cause is

gaining more popularity from

people from different sectors who

have chosen to help in providing

education to out-of-school youth

through the sacrifice of walking and

donating loose change.

This Years Alay Lakad was a

success, and the number of

participants may enable the Alay

Lakad Inc. San Pedro to raise an

amount more than their target. Alay

Lakad began in 1972 when the

Department of Social Welfare, now

(DSWD) conceived and initiated

the Walk-for-Cause project in

Metro Manila but it has come a

long way from its humble start

way back in the 70s.

The main activity of Alay Lakadis a yearly Walk conductednationwide. The idea is for civicminded citizens in every city andmunicipality to join mass hikeout along prescribed routes.Sponsors are then sought todonate a certain amount usuallyone peso for every kilometercovered by a hiker. The fundsraised are used to finance socio-economic for the needy out-of-

school youth. These socioeconomic projects include skillstraining on various occupationaltrades, income-generationprojects community scouting,leadership training and culturalactivities.

BULLYING: A CRIME

Things clouds our minds on what

bullying really means and why people

are being bullied upon. Was it because

they let it to or maybe because we really

dont mind its existence.

In every corner of this world and in

every second that ticks a child is being

bullied. A child is being thrown inside a

ocker, dumper or even being locked

nside a comfort room. Bullying is indeed

happening but people are still having

thoughts about it. They arent open forthings that even happened to them when

they were young. Everyones seem to be

n denial, blinded and even dumbfounded

with what is happening around them.

Bullying comes in different forms,

whether its verbal, physical, indirect,

social alienation, intimidation or even in

the internet. In social media for

nstance, people are being bashed easilyon what they had done. Everyone is

easily a victim.

But bullying need to be stopped and

has to end. Teenagers nowadays takes

their lives because of shame. But what

had we done to help and educate them?

Nothing, absolutely nothing because we

ourselves are afraid of our own bullies,

which is ourselves. Yes, all of us are

bullies to ourselves, we pushed

ourselves to the limits without even

thinking about who are we stepping on.

We all have to remember that our

purpose here on earth is promulgate life

and not initiate death and promote it. To

God be the Glory.

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE!

Have you heard it lately,Cybercrime Prevention Act of2012 or R.A 10175? What is itall about? Was it made to protector destroy something?

Some of us may thank ourgovernment for passing the saidlaw but most of us are injeopardy because of i tsprohibitions. We usually speakour minds out and express whatwe feel through social media.But things might go different assoon as the Law is implemented.We might say that we are beingchoked with things that we arenot accustomed to or being givena mandate we have to do whatwe dont want and like to do. Wecant really think of it as a goodlaw but a some law that coulddestroy self expression and

freedom to think and write whatwe feel. But, some people toomuch freedom can also destroyonce dignity and can getsomeones life. We sometimestry to write something withoutthinking that we might degradeand hurt someone.

But, come to think of it wewrite because we want them toknow but sometime get out ourway and eventually bashed anddestroys somebody by writingthings about them.

The bottom line is we mustknow our responsibility beforewe write something in the net.We must know its consequencesand its outcomes. We must learnto control ourselves.

Think before you speak!

"Make it just, honourable, and true so that itsopinions may be respected. We can win our cause by

speaking the truth because right and justice are on

our side. We struggle, not for ourselves but for

the sacred rights of mankind. We desire not blood,

we have no hatred. What have we to fear?

Underdogs, Victory is Ours!

Points of View!

Keeping track with

things seems a little hard.Most it are getting out of

hand. Cant imagine how

are we going to cope up

with since everything

seems to be out of our

favor.

Giving up was then an

option but guess it would

have rattled our decision.

Its a bit funny becausewe have grown to be a

better person. Then we

realized that we hadnt

been ourselves all along

we might have been

somewhere with nothing.

Sometimes we may be

out of our league but

thats just normal. Being

out somewhere having

fun was great and were

glad we are not in a

solitary confinement.

Things were definitely

n o t t h e s a m e .

Everything seems

getting blurred and

unclean.

We really have to go

with the flow. Learn to

live with and accept it

as a great challenge. A

challenge we once wentthrough and surpass it

with flying colors.

It wont be over until

we accept the fact that

some people are

underdogs ends up to

be the victor.

Soon, we could smile

and have victory and

honor on our favor.
