PAPKORNS, please!


By: Jolo Van Clyde Abatayo





Meh is reading FB comments about the latest political issues here in Ph while checking the outputs of my students! It's great that I can now control my "activist self" unlike before during college days, I was really keen when it comes to political salad (since I was former campus writer)! I am now starting to digest and realize that there's really a thin line between opinions and facts, that's why before reacting, I need to present nothing but facts! A registered librarian (like MEH) must provide nothing but facts! I mean... What the FACT!?

There is a lot of stances that I have in mind. I'm actually grilling them in my thoughts and they are waiting to be served. However, I have to control my stubborn emotions because it is not right to say something without thinking about it first. You guys should do extensive research before commenting about these serious issues. You guys should learn more about external and internal criticism and contextual and speech analysis so you can give fair judgments!

If you wanna ask me about my stances, I would say that I already have a framework in my mind. I just don't wanna sound subjective or biased. You know, we can't predict what the thoughts of Du30 and his comrades are. Possibly, they're just being sarcastic or they're just playing with our minds. Who knows?

Honestly, my inner self would love to say: "that man needs to die!" while my gray matter would like to say: “Hey! You need some ethical, philosophical, logical, scientific, constitutional, intellectual, and legal bases before reacting!"

PAPKORNS, please!
