Pugad Baboy June 4 Comic Strip in Inquirer Controversy

-As a former Kulasa

This specific episode of the Pugad Baboy by Po Medina Jr. comic strip has been in the news for its controversial content. Actually, because of the complaints from readers of Inquirer, the comic strip has been suspended and now the writer has left Inquirer. 

I have caught on the news about this specific episode of the Pugad Baboy comic strip from my previous school's facebook group. Since I am also from St. Scholastica's Academy, I cannot ignore the message implied by this. But what I am more interested in is the specificity of the author authenticity of the message. Why was St. Scho singled out from all schools ?

I believe that in whatever school we go, there will always be homosexuals. The society has now change. So why was St. Scho the one chosen to pose as an example? The message may be about homosexuals but the school was pointed out so specifically. If he wanted to relay a message about it why not generalize the term?  

I cannot deny the statement of the author. As a Scholastican, I can only argue that not all Kulasa are homosexuals. I am a living proof of that. The Benedictine Sisters also doesn't allow the kulasas to be homosexuals. They are very strict about our attire, walk, and even our haircut. My point is that the comic strip is partly correct and also partly wrong. 

This comic strip caught my attention because of the undeniable fact that we now face. There are now homosexuals around us. Now that the issue was raised it cannot be ignored. But afterwards we can all move on and learn a lesson from it.

Welcome!

Hi there! Welcome to my page!

I just stepped into the next level of education and I made this blog to start my academic year right!

If you're wondering, I am Jennifer, a Freshman Engineering student from Manila. Coming from an all-girls school, I am still amazed by the new environment in my block. Most of my classmates or what we call "block" mates are boys. It was very shocking at first but thankfully I adjusted well. 

So... My friends call me Doe or Doe-Doe. They say I am very friendly and approachable. I am sixteen years old turning seventeen years old next month(Yey!).

Making this blog really dug up my storage of ideas. I had to name my blog. I did not have an idea what to name it. It was so hard. I tried to look into other blogs, search in the web, ask my relatives and refer to the dictionary. In the end, I chose the title EMazing. The name came across my mind because of my block, EM. I combined our block's name with the word amazing because we really are amazing people. Imagine choosing engineering as our course, isn't that amazing enough? 

My blog, from its name, would be filled of things I found amazing. From articles, news, video clips, posters, shows to quotes. I hope that my posts amazes you! And, if you feel my blog is worthy enough, you can share it to others!
