Technological Role in Poverty




In the modern generation world, the techno-competitive environment has been widely known. In the past several years, technology has been vastly welcomed by the general eye as it protrudes its wonderful spectrum of knowledge and ideas. Simply starting from its little known area, it winded up to the wide variety of novelty and advancements. Little by little, and instinctively speaking, technology has been a powerful tool to solve large amount of human bewilderment and environmental perplexity. The technology varying from its sources up to the ends of the world, strives to lessen the proliferation of any world-stricken dilemmas especially in talks with poverty all over the different countries.

The populace employs the high-level skills and information technology to interpret ideas and notion in order to come up with positive outcomes. The government and community continue to evoke technology to help elevate the survival of the public especially those who are in the line of poverty. Despite the popularity and reputation of technological innovations and expertise, it cannot truly emanate the unpleasant matters belonging to the world. It is an inevitable to eradicate problems associated with the world and its people, its original nature and its environment.



Technology, information and knowledge combine to profess great faith among the pitiful citizens who are losing hope in living with their lives. Their effectiveness is quite observable but it doesn’t fully end the extreme poverty. More and more days continue to pass and the gap between the rich and the poor becomes wider. Modernity doesn’t define internal development among the people but more on about the advancements of the external environment. Technology, as some others perceive it, is just the face of the modern world. It’s just like a phase in the universe covered with a range of brilliant views but it cannot and will never hide its true meaning, the poverty behind it still lag behind the spiraling pace of technology.

In everything that happens, there could exist as a pro and con. Technology may sometimes be a pro and con. Yes, it provides tools, machineries, expertise and knowledge combination in order to solve dilemmas like in politics, ethics, social responsibilities and more importantly, the poverty intact. Technology allows people to create the connections and relationships that together can break down the systems that keep people poor. While on its con, Technology is just the magnifier of human intent and capacity. (©Kentaro Toyama, Boston Review, 2010) As more development on the modern technological world takes place, more conflicts arise and human confusion still occurs.

By itself technology doesn't end poverty, but it permits inhabitants to form the associations and interaction that together can rupture the schemes that keep people deprived and underprivileged. (©Hugh Evans, Huffington Post, 2012) Obviously, ever-increasing technology is not the answer to the problem of poverty, for despite the fact that nations live in a world of expanding technology, poverty still exists.

Giving aid to the needy isn't a sufficient solution, because such aid to poor countries is often just a drop in the bucket. (©Fred Nance, United Church of God Association, 2013) Technology cannot extremely end poverty because it cannot fully estimate the power of other factors that affect the propagation of poverty and people are adhered to the fact that poverty is unavoidable, and always considered as an old and modern age problem.




Poverty is nothing new to the world. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer," says an old depression-era song and it still rings true today. It seems hard to believe in this world of computers, technology and information that there could also exist an age-old problem: poverty. And the irony of this proliferating problem is that poverty is increasing in the world amid abundance. The breach is really broadening between rich and poor, smart and dumb, and any other two comparisons. (©Fred Nance, United Church of God Association, 2013)

According to Raiyan Moon, without the assistance of IT, no business can survive in this competitive corporate world. Today, most of the businesses are going global and the pre-condition of a successful global company is that has to have a strong information technology. To be successful in business, a company should need an assessment of business environment. They have to spy on their competitors, business partners, suppliers and customers. Without IT, how could they monitor and evaluate all those things?

Technology is both a cost of doing business, and an opportunity to do more business.

Porac, Pampanga: I Flew High In Poracay


Wazzup Pilipinas !
 
For the very first time, I had the opportunity to try the infamous zipline !

It's my first time in one of these so I wouldn't be able to compare it with the other ziplines in our country, but all I can say is...It's not really what I expected it to be.

There was really no adrenaline rush. I never worried even a little bit. I simply was not overwhelmed by the experience.

Maybe it was too short a ride for the thrill to sink in. Possibly it was not high enough to scare me. Most probably because I have more than enough near-to-death experiences more threatening and death-defying than riding on a 500 meter zipline.

It's More Fun in the Philippines with Wazzup Pilipinas!


Wazzup Pilipinas !

The Philippines is an an archipelago of 7,107 islands with festivals as many as its number of villages all year-round offering virtually infinite possibilities of fun and adventure!

Over a hundred ethnic groups, a mixture of foreign influences and a fusion of culture and arts have enhanced the uniqueness of the Filipino race and the wonder that is the Philippines.

Here is another complilation of images from my previous travels all over the Philippines brought to you by Wazzup Pilipinas! (English soundtrack). I'll be coming next with an all video (or mixed photos and video) soon!

It's More Fun In The Philippines


Wazzup Pilipinas !

It's 7,107 times more fun in the Philippines. Watch the official Philippine Department of Tourism AVP to find out why :)

There are a lot of things I am proud of about being a Filipino, too many to name.

The Filipino word for hello is "have you eaten?", the dancing police, the monkey-eating eagle showing up then the monkey jumping, the festivities, the repetitive names of places and foods, the "scissors palace", the winking tarsier, everything about this video. 

You really can't deny how happy people Filipinos are, even in times of daily hardships.

Hundred Islands National Park : Island Hopping in Style


Wazzup Pilipinas ! Malasiqui Catholic School Batch '85 is on the Go.
 
It takes more or less five long hours to reach Pangasinan from Metro Manila by bus. With all those stopovers  maybe you can save an hour if you will drive your own vehicle. But it will surely be a toll for your designated driver, so we recommend you just take the bus, and just enjoy a nap along the way.

The Hundred Islands has become a haven for both local and foreign tourists (including "balikbayans") coming from several countries because of its majestic beauty and hospitable people. It was said to be formerly a cluster of coral beds that are now approximately two million years old. During that time, it was submerged in water but the water has since receded and now we're left with these island clusters. There's around 124 islands recorded as of this writing. They are now also calling it the Hundred Islands National Park.

There's a mini-port or wharf at the tourist center in Barangay Lucap. It is the starting point for the tours that will take us to the Hundred Islands in Alaminos. There were several boats out there that differ in sizes depending on the tour company but they all maintain the same rates.

Blackbeard's Seafood Island: Boodle Boodle To The Max

Wazzup Pilipinas !
 
Its not uncommon for Filipinos to share food especially during fiestas in the provinces. But if you apply the similar setup in the city and in a restaurant setting , then it becomes a  helluva boodle party!

Imagine a feast served on banana leaves - with all the rice in the middle and the viands, specific to a menu choice. 

One even had the food (grilled fish, BBQ, shrimps, chicken, sea weeds, tomatoes and a lot of other stuff) on sticks, while the fried rice, fruits (watermelon slices and thick green mangoes shreds), and other viands like clams, crabs, tilapia, and "tahong" were surrounding the rice. What you see in the photo above is the Boracay's Feast.

Mu Noodle Bar: Where Everything Is Oh So Good!


Wazzup Pilipinas !
 
This is the very first time I've been to a restaurant where every dish served was "Oh, So Good!".

I am not exaggerating! It really was the most satisfying dining experience I've been to, and I am really puzzled why I only blogged about it only today. I seem to have lost control of my senses, and just kept planning on my next visit to the restaurant. But since it was a bit too far from my place, I had to hold the urge to return otherwise, I may no longer leave the place once I get to taste again everything on the menu.

Well, I guess I'm really exaggerating when I said I'll never leave, but to keep it realistic, I would forever make this restaurant a part of top ten list of highly recommended restaurants in Metro Manila that I would often visit.


All Hands Beach : Subic Bay Freeport Zones' Beach Resort For Everyone

 

Wazzup Pilipinas !
 
One of the destinations we went to during our Subic visit was at the All Hands Beach resort. I was informed that this beach already existed even during the time of the Americans when they occupied Subic, but a visit to the place reveals that is undergoing development and most of the structures are new or improved.


All Hands Beach is great for swimming for all ages due to the shallow and gradually sloping depth of the shoreline. It has clear, clean, and calm waters. This is due to its strategic natural location, far from any residential community or inland river. The waves are not much higher than 6 inches most of the day.

There were already a few restaurant, a lot of huts, and even colorful boats to rent. There are also some rooms to spend the night and the facilities are continuously being renovated.


URBN Bar and Kitchen : Gastronomical Delights To Please The Senses


Wazzup Pilipinas !
 
My camera did not do any justice to both the food and the place.I was tempted in just using the photos located on their Facebook page but it really felt wrong. The actual Mac and Choreese (macaroni with chorizo and cheese) was far better looking than the photo above, and magically flavorful that you simply can't get enough of it. Anyway, I'm pushing through with using my own photos. Let's just say its photos with my own style of photography with a mystery.

URBN Bar and Kitchen was simply an awesome and classy party venue that also serves great contemporary comfort food that's a feast to both the eyes and the stomach. You can find lots of food choices like premium dry-aged steaks, rack of lamb, ribs and so many sinful dishes that's guaranteed to satisfy even the pickiest eater.

URBN Bar and Kitchen, co-owned by Chef Benjo Tuason, is a classy restaurant, highly busy and often times crowded at night, is located at the Bonifacio Global Center in Tagig. This resto is sure to excite everyone looking for a place where they can mingle with the the elite crowd, dine on delectable cuisines, and party until the break of dawn.


Sip Milk Tea: Ultra-Premium Steeped Tea

Wazzup Pilipinas !
 
"We make milk tea. We do it proper. We use only ultra-premium tea, steeped like it should (not brewed or through an espresso machine or treated like coffee but treated like tea), so its ultra-premium milk tea. We just basically make milk tea, well we shake the milk tea cold too. That's it. "

Yes! That's it. I guess that's already their secret. They steep and do not brew their teas.They make ultra-premium milk teas using only the best whole leaf tea, nothing powdered nothing fake.

They also only give your freshly cooked sago. Made several times throughout the day at all their stores.

They were also the first in the world to introduce MESTEAZO. It's green milk tea on top, and black flavored tea on the bottom. Its two (2) teas in one drink. You've never had milk tea like it before!
