Just a Rant and Some Links Concerning Zamboanga

Magsaliksik, magbasa, umintindi ng mabuti bago magbigay ng opinyon o ng haka-haka. Dahil ba maraming nagsasabi, maniniwala ka agad at ipagkakalat mo ang teoryang ito? Instead of speculating about this and that, why don't people just share HELPFUL information? If you can't say anything helpful, truthful, informative, or logical, shut up na lang please. Don't add unnecessary garbage into the discussion. Maayo pa mag selfie na lang ka kaysa mag emote emote ka hatag opinyon, wala diay ka nabal-an. I know we each own our own timeline and newsfeed spaces. And yes, I have no business telling people what to say or publish.

"With great power comes great responsibility." - Uncle Ben, Spiderman Social media gives people opprtunities to communicate, learn, and earn. In so many ways, people can create careers, businesses, fame and fortune. With these opportunities are also opportunities to change lives and change societies. In the Arab Spring, social media greatly contributed to the revolutions and rise od democracy in some nations in the Middle East. Social media didn't create change. Rather, it became one of the most effective tools to contribute to change. One doesn't have to wait for a revolution to happen for a citizen to contribute to social change. With social media, a citizen can easily and possibly bring change to society. Social media can give voice to the unheard. It can amplify a message.
