saying becoming too cliché? Further-

your mind when you hear this familiar
term? Are you one of those who cause
it or the one who prevents it?
A lot of questions surface the words
youth and global warming. First and
foremost what is global warming? Glob-
al Warming is a phenomenon currently
and continuously experienced around
the globe. It is in our utmost knowledge
that there are effects mostly bad effects

bergs, skin cancer, deterioration of our
eyes, respiratory illnesses, destruction
of ecosystem and others. On the con-
trary, what is youth at the first place?
Once in a lifetime, you experience being
a youth and it’s a fact that being young
entails responsibilities that must be ful-
filled. Those responsibilities were given
in our hands, since youth is capable of
doing a lot of things and aside from that,
almost 60% of our population based on
recent statistics comprises the youth.
Global Warming will not be a big issue
nowadays, if the youth will function.
Youth is believed to be talented and a
prodigy of a particular country.

JF Brosas
Love be gets love, Love is something
not in our mind but in our soul and heart.
Love among adolescents are different,
they abuse the love of their parents and
loved ones. The abuse of love may re-
sult to unwanted pregnancy . Are you
ready for sex? If someone asked you that
what will be your response? Maybe you
will say yes because it feels good. These
numbers of unwanted pregnancies are in-
creasing, thanks to science. But there is a
way to prevent these cases, by using con-
Ano’ng Ginawa Mo?
Vicente Bertillo
Pagsapit ng ika-anim na araw, pagkatapos
na malikha ng Diyos ang langit, lupa, tubig,
mga halaman at hayop ay nagsibi, “ Gaga-
wa ako ng nilalang na siyang mag-aalaga sa
aking mga nilikha at sila ay magkakaroon
ng kapangyarihan sa lahat ng nilalang dito
sas lupa, tubig at himpapawid. Gagawin ko
sila mula sa aking imahen at katangian.”
Ito ay hango sa aklat ng Genesis sinasabi
dito na tayong mga tao ay may responsi-
bilidad na alagaan ang kalikasan . Tayong
lahat, magsimula sa pinakabata hanggang
sa pinakamatanda ay may dala-dala ng crus
na pinapasan. Tungkulin nating pasanin ang
kalikasan.
Ngunit may isang tanong. Nagagampanan
traceptives. Contraceptive is a drug that
prevents pregnancy such as pills, con-
doms, etc. The Church stated that these
contraceptives are the reason why cases
of unwanted pregnancy increases. Not
all contraceptives are effective, they are
also the reason why abortion is legal to
some countries. In China, there’s a policy
called “ Two Child Policy”, it means that
every family should have two children.
Because of unwanted pregnancy abortion
is practiced.
So, if you are asked, are you ready for
sex? You don’t have to think. Just ask
yourself and say No!
