“Everything that is Given is not Always a Gift”

         Once upon a time there’s a little boy who dreamed to be the king of Ascaban, he dreamed to have many golds when he grew up. Ascaban is rich in gold, silver and many other minerals. During the younger years of Midas, the little boy who dreamed to be the king. He did everything just to please everyone. Because of the kindness of Midas, the people noticed his goodness that’s why all people of Ascaban loved Midas but at this time the current king did not notice him. Time in time Midas continue doing his good deeds until there is such time the king noticed him. In that very moment, the king told the guard to seek for the young child Midas. As the young Midas walk through the path along the castle, he saw an old lady seeking, finding, searching for food, because of the kindness of the young, he gave the old lady his lunch and the old lady starts to eat while Midas is just watching her to eat. The old lady said “thank you young boy”. Midas pointed to the and said “go to the castle old lady there is plenty of food there” but in an instant the old lady disappeared just like a bubble. He continued walking so he can at the castle before noon. As he arrive at the castle, the king give him a hug and saying “you young child will be the next king of Ascaban when the right time comes and I’m sure of it”, and the young boy just smiled at the king’s face. After years of service as the king’s right hand there is the time when suddenly one day the king figured out that he is very ill and no means of medicine that can cure him. One night Midas was about to give the king some water, the king knew that it was about time to tell Midas everything. The king said,” My time is limited now, so it’s about time to tell you that you will be the next king of Ascaban and my true successor after I die”. As the time pass by the current king died because of his terrible sickness and on that day Midas was announce as the new king of Ascaban.

       The first 5 years of his rule was going good. The kingdom was prospered through the years. Because of the dream of the king to have many golds the greediness of the king Midas has begun. Gold wa getting more and more valuable to him, the he wants everything in his kingdom are made of gold. One night an old lady appeared in his quarters. The old lady was so familiar to him, that’s why he asks “are you the old lady I met in my younger years?”, and the old lady answered “yes Midas, I was the old lady you helped”. Midas ask another question and said “why are you here in my quarters?”, the old lady replied “because of your kindness I’m here to repay what you did to everyone, wish anything you want and I’ll grant that without doubt”. Without thinking what will be the consequence, rashly said without doubt “I wish everything I’ll touch will turn to gold”. There was a bright flash and king Midas blacked out. Whenhe woke up in his golden bed, he hastily goes to his activities. The king be gone to eat and suddenly the fruit he touches turns to solid gold. He was shocked of what happen then there he realize that night was not adream but it really happened. The king was so glad of what he has, he touches everything he sees in his castle. But there was a day when everything went wrong. When his wife was walking through the corridor, she was dumbstruck in awe. She exclaimed, “Midas what happened here?”, Midas was so happy to tell his wife everything so he went to his wife and forgotten his golden touch. With one touch his wife turned into solid gold. He was shocked. Midas explained, “I don’t mean to turn you into gold, I just want to tell you everything“. Midas cried and cried that almost his tears turns to blood while staring at his wife. The king was so depressed then there he realizes that his golden touch is not a gift but a curse, to teach him that being greedy of something will dealt great damage to every person surrounds you. The king did not eat nor sleep, regretting everything about his golden touch. One day the old lady appeared again in his quarters. Midas was shocked. But he rashly run to the old lady and begged,” Please lady remove my golden touch and bring back my wife to normal”.
The old lady replied,” I will remove your golden touch and everything you touch that turned to gold, but I will give you a hand of a monster”. The king agreed to the old lady and again there is a bright flash and Midas blacked out. When he woke up in his bed, everything turns back to normal except for his monster hands. It is very shameful for a king to have a monster hand so he chooses to make it a secret of himself alone. There is only one person who saw his monster hand and that is the jester of the castle. The jester spread the news to the whole kingdom. The king was mad and told his guards to find the root cause of all this bad news. The jester was caught and brought back to the king. The king stared at the jester madly that he wants to kill the jester with his own hands. The jester is just looking downward. The king sentenced the jester to death after three days because of spreading the bad news about the king. The king realize that he also made a mistake but he was forgiven. So the king did not continue the death penalty but instead he forgave the jester and gave the jester freedom. The king was happy and glad with his decision. The kind, humble and obedient Midas is coming back. Regardless of his monster hand the kingdom prospered again. After three months of being a humble king, the old lady appeared in his dreams and said, “because of your kindness and the old Midas I knew has come back, I’ll bring back your hands to normal”. The king woke up and was shocked that his hands turns back to normal. That day the king had a feast with his whole kingdom and that day was part of history that the whole kingdom of Ascaban won’t forget. Through the years the kingdom of Ascaban lives in prosperity, peace and abundance.

“DUTERTE”

                Rodrigo Roa Duterte is the current president of the Republic of the Philippines and he was the first president that came from Mindanao mainly in Davao City. In Davao city he is the very terrifying person to those people who deals with drugs and crimes. Because of his great service, Davao today is one of the safest city in the whole world. Rodrigo Duterte is somewhat short, chubby and brown in color, if you will see his face there many things you can say of what his struggling just to make the whole country today drug free and crime free or just to lessen it. Many people are afraid of him because of said records of extra judiciary killings which is not proven to be true. Before he became the president of the Philippines, he is the mayor of Davao city for 22 years and he turned Davao city from a dark place to a civilized city with a low percentage of crimes. In spite of Duterte’s image of being a “serial killer’ and “punisher” he is also soft inside and caring to his “taongbayan”. Duterte is a simple person, he likes to wear polo shirts and a simple maong pants confronting the media. Duterte is also known as the “IRON FIST” and known for his mantra “I hate drugs”. He has a unique strategy of winning the presidency and also a unique skill of handling a city. He hates corruption, drugs and crimes that’s why the whole Philippines believes that change is really coming with Rodrigo Roa Duterte on the move.

Date: July 22,2016
To: All employee of this enterprise
From: J. Ignacio, CPA
Subject: Avoid PDA (Public Display of Affection) in the office.

                      I recently noticed that PDA in this establishment is being a habit to all employees during and after office hours this will cause a big problem if this habit continuous. This will deal lack of concentration, un-competitiveness and un-professionalism.
                       Therefore, I ask to my fellow employee to stop displaying your affections during and after office hours to avoid dealing those problems. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration.

Friendship Before we became close friends, we had past arguments and that was normal to children. When we were in elementary, I did not have any close friends because I used to play with boys though I have female friends. At that time, Elaine and Yanie were very close to Paula and Marjorie would occasionally play with me though we were not that close back then. I also played with Mary Grace, Marvin and of course with my two siblings, Marie Rose and Junjun. Before, we used to play with other children until one day, everything changed when Wowowee gave a show in Agro Industrial College Foundation. I, Yanie, Elaine, Grace, Marjorie, Marvin and my sister Marie Rose went to that show that night and the next day, we all gathered up and planned to go back to Agro to find something like we might find a golden ring, a silver earring, a cellphone or money.
