Last March 3, 2011, at almost 8 AM in my wristwatch, we departed from TIP QC campus to start our most awaited trip at the following itineraries: MMDA traffic monitoring Makati City, Bayantel Telecommunications and Falcon Crest Campsite at Norzagaray, Bulacan. At our first destination MMDA, we’ve got to see the traffic monitoring operation of MMDA, where many of Metro Manila’s road by installing CCTV cameras at Metro Manilas road. We also got to see the operating room for the Traffic light controllers. We also went to Bayan Telecommunications Inc. at Roosevelt Ave., Quezon City. Bayantel is one of the leading telecommunications companies for voice, Internet and data in the Philippines. The one that orient us was a graduate of MAPUA, he’s been working at Bayantel for 3 years. He told us about the NOC (Network Operation Center) of Bayantel. They are the ones that fixing the problems of Bayantel users. And after Bayantel, the next and last destination was at Falcon Crest Campsite at Norzagaray, Bulacan. It took us an hour to reach our destination, and at the time our tour guide, Mr. Mar, tells us many trivia behind the places that we’re passing through. He also tells us stories and jokes for us to avoid boredom. Until we reached Falcon Crest Campsite, we went out from the bus to eat our lunch. And immediately after lunch, one of the staff of Falcon Crest orient us on how to use the gadgets for wall climbing, rappelling and even in zip line. They were very strict about safety and they did explain to us the importance of using proper attire and gadgets when climbing the wall and rappelling. And after the orientation, we were divided in many groups. We did the wall climbing, rappelling, zip line and cargonet. After trying those slight risky activities (for me), we started our team building, still in groups. Until the time we’d done the games, I really had fun. I really enjoyed the tour because I never thought that I will ever do that. I’m afraid in many things. But at this point, I show myself that I can do things like this. Until we’re done with the activities, we departed. While on our way back to school, kuya Mar and some of the students sung, by the use of videoke. I can’t sleep because they were so noisy. And until we reached the school, I bid my goodbye to our tour guide and to my classmates that I been with while we’re on our tour.

In Albert Camus’s The Stranger, he shares with the reader, the life of an immensely complicated character. The story is presented to the reader by the character himself in most of the story. The character’s name is Meursault, a detached and semi-normal shipping clerk. Meursault appears to be rather stoic and is devoid of emotions. Meursault remains unaffected by passion and emotions throughout the story: however as the story progress towards the end Meursault is showing some feelings.

As we enter the hall of the National Museum of the Philippines, the prominence of "Spoliarium" an oil on poplar completed in 1884 by National Artist, Juan Luna, is remarkable. The super- sized painting depicts a dark hollow beneath the Roman arena referred to as the Spoliarium where the bodies of slain gladiators are being dragged away for disposal. This is the time in history when the Romans travelled to Europe and collected slaves, otherwise known as the Vikings, to entertain other people in Rome. The Romans created the “Viking Games” where Vikings were forced by Romans to battle lions, tigers and against themselves in an arena. It strikes me as extremely violent, bloody and inhuman. The slaves have no other choice than to fight and kill in order for them to survive. The purpose of the Spoliarium was to “spoil” the dead bodies of the gladiators by exposing them to birds or any creature that eats human flesh. In the right side of the picture you will see an old lady waiting for the corpse of her loved one and an old man searching for the body of his son. The distress is palpable.…

Approximately three hours from crowded, sweltering Manila is an island getaway where the seafood is fresh, the sand is dazzling white, the water is a beautiful clear turquoise, and good vibes abound. It is a getaway for adventurers of the 'strike anywhere' variety, who think nothing of hopping on a bus on a whim, armed with nothing but a swimsuit and a pair of flip-flops. It is a refuge for the low-key urbanite escaping the frenzied crowd at Manila's latest 'in' spots (the same crowd that currently overpopulates Boracay). It is my paradise on the cheap--Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro.…

The barangay of our choice is Barangay San Antonio. It is an active community. I noticed that there are plenty of different shops in the area. It is a good aspect having plenty of shops because that means that the people will never run out of choices just in case they need to buy their needs. There are plenty of shops, that is why I noticed plenty of people too. Another positive aspect about the barangay is that I noticed plenty of uniformed men and women roaming the area. They are obviously the” kagawads” or “tanods” in the barangay. They are doing their job in monitoring the people’s business so that they can respond to their needs. We later went inside the Barangay Hall. I felt secure inside the place because I noticed the guards taking a good lookout of the area. But when we went inside, the barangay captain was unfortunately not there. So the other officials were the ones who took care of our agenda with them.…

While I was reading the article Stressing the Group; Social Identity and the Unfolding Dynamics of Responses to Stress (Haslam & Reicher) and based on Hypothesis 1 and 2 referred in the article, I was led to an interesting perspective. Based on the hypothesis, we would expect that resistance would increase the low-status group sense of shared group identity and also willingness to challenge the high-status group power. That could create a shield against stressors! Simultaneously, it would “shake” the high-status group sense of shared group identity, causing stress and uncertainty amongst its members. Behind this hypothesis the reason that often powerless groups win battles against powerful states may be located. Now, imagine a war between two states: A powerful state with numerical, strategic and economic advantage, against a weak and helpless state. It is an unequal battle, which would be particularly interesting, if after strong resistance from the side of the powerless state, we measured the extent to which the two states were exposed to stressors. We would reasonably expect that as weak state members’ sense of shared identity increased, they would provide each other with more social support and would…
