"When Science Met Politics in the Philippines"

After watching the video, I can say that Filipinos overlooked the words science and
technology. When Filipinos think of these words, they perceive that it is just for the
learned people, but not for the mass people. And, it is still relevant up to this day. The
party list, AGHAM, ran for the election last 2010 to voice out their science knowledge
but lost. They didn't lose hope until 2013, where the AGHAM's campaign won, but to no
surprise, they still lack recognition and appreciation. I can say that this is very
worrisome and saddening at the same time. Developed countries adopted science and
technology to be part of their promising future. But when it comes to the Philippines, our
politicians even do not want to back up science because of research that is very tedious
to handle. So, when the next election comes up, let's vote for the right people to stand
for our nation, where science and technology can also be recognized, respected, and
appreciated. 

"The Problem with Fake News"

After watching the video, two terms have often been associated with the neologism
"fake news", misinformation and disinformation. Misinformation is false information, but
not necessarily intentionally false. So, a rumor that turns out not to be true. But the
people who created it didn't know that it wasn't true when they created it.
Disinformation, on the other hand, is information that's misleading, false, or misleading
for some kind of purpose, often a political objective. And we see disinformation as much
more, in some ways, problematic because it's an intentional distortion of the information
space. These two words are simple yet powerful, to the extent that it can manipulate
peoples' minds. Let's be mindful of what we are sharing today because people seem to
believe everything that they see in the internet world. As the old saying goes, think
before you click.
