A matter of choice

Marriage is a matter of choice.

There are those who prefer to forge the knot either in civil or religious manner. It really depends on the couple's preference. After all, either you pick one doesn't matter at all. The choice is yours.

But as gleaned from observations, it showed that there are couples who made it to golden anniversary without the blessings of the Church. Worse is that others succeeded in marriage even without going through both civil and religious marriage.

Others believed it is just a piece of paper. But the problem is that when you both agreed to this relationship, you are getting into a contract that entails a lot of complications later on. This makes it more expensive and tedious because when relationship gets sour, it is not that easy to part ways.

Getting a divorce in the West is partly okay. What about those in other countries where divorce is not possible? And the only best option is legal separation. At best, others just go away and never heard of again.What others do is just wait for at least seven years without communication so that they can apply for legal separation.

However, in countries where divorce is a practice, paying the alimony is again another problem. Another thing is the child support, if you have minor children to take care of.At times, it is ironical to see weddings in their grandest celebration. But it is sad to hear that some of them ended up in utter failure because of misunderstandings and incompatibility problems. Worse is when the problem is traced to cheating.

That eventually leads to break-up.Next time, it is still best to think as to whether to be engaged in civil or religious marriage. Whatever is suited and best for your convenience, then go for it. Marriage comes only once in a lifetime. To others, it comes in a variety of ways.

For many decades, vast tracts of forest lands are damaged across the Philippines. These are either the handiwork of nature like soil erosions, landslides, tremors or they're simply man-made due to humans' greed for immediate cash if only to survive. By all means, those who are within the proximity of the forests are free to do whatever they thought was best for them to survive or earn fast cash.  Notably, the most common practice that upland dwellers do is the cutting of firewood, slash-and-burn farming to plant crops even if these activities run counter to established forestry regulations that forbid them from doing these activities without permission from the authorities. Without a land of their own, they have to do it anyway. While some armed groups would simply engage themselves in illegal logging activities for profits. Forestry reports said that they even encroach on other's logging concessions to cut trees for sale to interested buyers. When I was working with the Mi

China is to blame for the pandemic spread

Had the Chinese government taken the initiative or done enough to immediately contain the novel Coronavirus from spreading waywardly into other areas, this pandemic wouldn't have gone too far to pester other countries like Italy, the United States and the Philippines whose governments had declared a lockdowns thus causing extreme fears among the people, not to mention the derailments of some economies worldwide. But the provincial government, where Wuhan is an integral part of, acted too late to lockdown the place. The local government in Wuhan should have prevented residents from getting out, especially those who were infected by the virus. Sorry to say this, but the Wuhan government officials were lackadaisical in their approach to the health dilemma, thinking that the problem was just an ordinary matter which didn't require much attention. Until the problem got worse resulting to some deaths in the area had they known of Covid-19's serious impacts on the health of innoce
