The Meaning of Love

When you love, know where you stand,
Don’t assume or demand a hand.
For if they choose to let you go,
You’ll find the strength to heal and grow.

Joy leads to love, deep and true,
A spark that shines in all you do.
Yet joy alone is not enough,
Without contentment, love is tough.

Delight needs meaning, hearts need grace,
To fill the empty, silent space.
To love oneself, a vital start,
For love begins within the heart.

Value gives love its worth and light,
Meaning makes it burn so bright.
Implications weave the tale,
A human truth that will not fail.

Love surrounds, it’s everywhere,

In whispered words or tender care.

If one feels none, no heart’s been won—

Are they still human, or are they none?

THREATENED BY AI POTENTIAL USE: BLESSING AND A CURSE FOR THE PAST, A STATUS QUO OF PROMISE AND DREAD

JOE VINCENT DELUAO, PhD. 

In a world where AI dominates the global technological sphere, one must ask themselves, “What can it do for us? In the 21st century, AI is everywhere, both consciously and unconsciously. AI performs most everyday tasks involving technology, including transferring emails, accessing calls, and managing the algorithms of most social media platforms, among others. Even machines can run AI, as most automated machines require a language to work. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become ubiquitous and unavoidable, and its capabilities are now genuinely answering the more important question: What is it not capable of doing for us? What is it not capable of doing for us?

What does it mean to be human these days? Now that AI can do everything humans do, what's left for humanity? The basic thing that a human possesses is a soul. In a world where AI is capable of copying and learning anything a human can, it lacks the free will and soulful ability to be creative on its own. AI art and works have posed a significant threat to society, raising the possibility that AI will soon replace human workers in the fields of writing and artistry. While it's true that major companies have been using AI in marketing and editing services, society has viewed this as low-quality, artificial, and lacking in life and creativity, even criticizing their choices.

There is now a collective notion in society that AI is destroying the past while also being the hope of the future. Currently, AI is not only assisting students with their homework, but also providing them with convenient access to information and services. Art uses AI to raise awareness about ethical frameworks and copyright usage. In the present, AI holds promise as a tool that can benefit us if used responsibly, but it also has the potential to destroy us if misused.

Sana ang Lahat ay Tulad ng Isang Bata

ni Globert G. Cuenca

Sana ang lahat ay tulad ng bata,
Puno ng tawa, walang alalahanin sa mata.
Maliit na bagay, ligaya'y sapat,
Pag-asa sa mundo'y hindi kumukupas.

Sana ang lahat ay may pusong dalisay,
Walang galit, walang hangaring masakim.
Madaling magpatawad, laging handang ngumiti,
Pagmamahal sa kapwa'y likas na mithi.

Sana ang lahat ay may galak sa ulan,
Sumasayaw sa patak, walang alinlangan.
Hindi takot madapa, handang bumangon muli,
Sa bawat pagkabigo, may tuwang sumasali.

Sana ang mundo'y maging parang sila,
Puno ng kulay, ng musika at saya.
Kung bawat isa'y may pusong musmos pa,
Tunay na payapa ang mundong likha.

KINSE

Gng. Quinnette Garraez-Gozo

(Ang taon ng pagmamahal,pagkatuto,pagsubok,pagtitimpi at pagkabulag)

Una ang pagmamahal sa tungkulin umaapaw

Puno ng init at pangangarap araw-araw

Dalawang buwan palang pagkatuto ko’y yumabong

Sa Bagumbong high ito’y umusbong

Tatlong ulit mang pagsubok yan?

Kay mam Emma P gumaan

Kwarto kanto man ang maubos sa byahe balewala

Mga kasama ko naman lahat nakakatuwa

Limang libong saya kulang sa dami ng kaalamang nakuha

Anim na milya pa nga ang narating 

Nakuha na permanent item

Pitong ulit ko mang isipin ako ay muling nagbalik sa tahanan namin

Pangarap Village na kinatakutan kailangan harapin

Walong sibat sakin pilit itinarak

Ganun pala ? kapag nais kang itulak

Abutin man ng siyam-siyam

Pagtitiis ko’y napalitan ng poot at suklam

Sampung ulit ang sakit noong anak ko’y

Namatay sa sinapupunan

Sa mundong ito, uso pala ang onsehan!

Labing dalawang buwan nais ko na tapusin nang agaran

Mabigat na desisyong nais gawin

 ikalabing tatlong pahinang pagkabulag sa sinumpaang tungkulin

Isa lang ang tiyak ko sa katorseng bigat ng dalahin

Tiyak ako ay hindi kailan man bugok sa kinseng taon 

Sa DepEd tapat na naglilingkod sa Panginoon.
