Over-population In The Philippines (Cause and Effect)

The Philippines is already experiencing over-population. Our country is one of the most over-populated country. It is the 12th most over-populated country in the whole world. Many of the people here in the Philippines, especially teenagers, are engaged in prostitution and pre-marital sex, which is two of the most common causes of over-population.

Over-population is existing and increasing because also of poverty. Many of the female teenagers nowadays tend to sell "themselves" just for money, so that they will be able to have something for their expenses, and in some cases, for their school fees and/or their families. In fact, because of these things Philippines is also starting to suffer from some diseases, such as, AIDS, STD, HIV, and also malnutrition - only common to some parts or provinces of the Philippines.

UAAP and NCAA (Comparison and Contrast)

UAAP (University Athletic Association of the Philippines) and NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) are two popular leagues or associations here in the Philippines. They are both facilitating and handling sports competitions of different universities and colleges.

UAAP, established in 1938, is a sports association of eight universities in the Philippines. It is held every year from July to October (first semester sports) and from November to March (second semester sports). The sports being competed are, basketball, volleyball, chess, judo, swimming, taekwondo, table tennis, cheerdance, baseball, football, softball, tennis, track and field, badminton, and fencing. It is composed of eight competing universities, namely the Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University-Manila, University of the Philippines-Diliman, University of Santo Tomas, University of the East, Far Eastern University, Adamson University, and National University.

NCAA, founded in 1924 , 14 years before UAAP was established, is the largest collegiate athletic organization in the world. It is also held every year from June to October here in Philippines. It has the same sports that UAAP facilitates, but participated by colleges, and is "imported" only from the United States. It is also competed by eight colleges, namely Letran, DLS-CSB, Jose Rizal University, Mapua, PCU, San Beda, San Sebastian, and the University of Perpetual Help System.

Music (Classification)

Like sports, music is also one of my passions in life. When I was still young, I took drums lessons at Yamaha School of Music in Manila. After that, I realized that I just enjoy more on listening to it, than playing it. I enjoy it everytime I'm in my room, arranging my things, doing my assignments and stuff. Sometimes, before taking a bath, I do louden the song I am playing just to hear it from my bathroom. Anyway, I'm interested in different genres of music, such as, r&b, hip-hop, pop, and reggae. Songs by 2pac, Bonethugs~n~Harmony, and Bob Marley are the ones I like. I also like rock music, particularly emotional rock, but not metal and punk rock. I'm also interested and familiarized more on OPM bands than foreign bands.
