NORMALIZING THE ABNORMAL

What is new normal is actually what should be, what should happen. 1. We have soap or alcohol in public toilets; 2) alcohol is freely given at all establishments; 3.) there is not more overcrowding at malls which used to reduce oxygen in the air; 4.) vehicles are more cautious and gentle in the streets, giving way to pedestrians who are wearing masks; and 5.) wearing masks should really be done due to the pollution in the air.

The future use of non-traditional media should have happened a long time ago so that children in the countrysides could have benefitted from them. A transgender girl is 18 years old from San Pedro but she does not even know how to read, how to write. She complained of backpains and was surprised that she only has to drink water every hour to cleanse her body. Then I gave her methyl salicylate or oil of winter green. That was the first time she has seen ,heard and touched it.

In other words, San Pedro, Laguna, which is only an hour away from Manila could not raise the intelligence of a kid who has to come to Manila to work. So let's welcome all the innovative methods that the DepEd is coming up with. We need to exert all efforts at enlightening our children who will be future leaders of this country.
