Wazzup Pilipinas Original Short Stories Series: Hera

Wazzup Pilipinas!


With Hera's experiences with her father and husband, women, even today, are still striving to achieve gender equality. Men are traditionally superior to women. This is an old saying that is still true nowadays. Currently, women wants to be recognized not just as a housewife but as an individual who could also do what men could do.

Traditionally, men are the only one who should be handling weapons such as guns. But to show her invulnerability, she showed everybody that women are also made to hold weapons especially when they are in great danger. They should posses strength and bravery, too.

Generally, men are superior to women. This is one thinking that was changed in the story. Hera proved that women should be equally superior to men. There are things that we all know were only done by men but are now also done by women. Violence against women should be stopped. Women shouldn't be treated as slaves, prisoners, or possessions.

Government groups focusing on women's rights are very essential to each community to give attention to those women who are experiencing the same as what Hera does. They need to feel loved and cared by people around them. Or else, just like Hera, they would also experience depression and other illnesses. They are not only physically ill, but also mentally, emotionally, and psychologically.

We hope you will enjoy our short story for the day.

Christmas season is definitely just around the corner. I can feel the generosity of many people as we see a lot already window-shopping for possible gift ideas, if not already buying whatever they find cute useful, unique or interesting, as early as the "ber" months so they can also shorten their Christmas gift list.

We are actually tempted to buy early as many bazaars are now starting to make their presence felt all over the metro. Recently, the biggest mall chain in the country just had their big mall sale in some of their branches of which that one in the Ortigas area also caused a lot of traffic jams.

This is being held for three days from October 17 (Friday) to 19 (Sunday) at the Elements Centris in Quezon City. This means readers wll still have an opportunity to visit the event until tomorrow.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

With the Philippines emerging as one of Asia’s bright spots and a darling of international investors, it is clear to say that the country’s real estate market is experiencing its best years not seen since the onset of the Asian financial crisis in 1997. Even the global downturn of 2008 did little to dampen the country’s exuberant business climate.

Although it seems that the Philippine real estate market is at its best time yet, more opportunities are expected over the next few years. Lamudi lists down five of these.


1. The Rise of Real Estate’s Sunshine Industries

Although the residential sector is experiencing its most vibrant years, there are still other segments that could provide plenty of opportunities. One of these is properties intended for retirees.

According to Cely Delos Santos, a licensed real estate consultant and vice president of full-service consultancy firm REHub, properties catering to wellness and medical tourism and estates for retirees are considered sunrise industries that promise huge growth over the next few years, especially now that the Philippines is fast becoming a favorite retirement option among foreign retirees and returning Filipinos.
