I don't know how to stop these obsessions of

children with cellphone. Even those adults they
1 focus on their cellphones.

cellphones are being used now and sometimes, bot

in a good way. There are people sending texts
2 (scams).

it depends on what's bound to happen. We will

arrange a meeting with the lupon and decide on
what we are supposed to do for the netterment of
3 our community.

if there's something wrong, we'll talk to them in

the right way. We don't tal in an aggressive way
4 but just diplomacy.
 modernazation is a good thing but it can hinder the
culture of the tribe and causes extinction of our
tradition. Just like the usage of facebook and
5 tiktok. It brings us to forget the traits of our tribe.
it all boils down to controlling the usage of the
6 children and discipline.

the usage of gadgets has it own advantage and

also has its disadvantages. The advantage is that
you can easier contact family member that are
abroad. On the other hand the disadvantage is that
children also use it for long. That is the drawback,

8 there's benifit and drawback.

that's what I do not want. Especially the children.

They are having eye defects because their parents
9 but them phones early.

that the children should not spend too much time

in their phonesusing cellphones can damage the
image of your personal self like eyes. And by using
cellphone, many people tend to find romantic
10 relationships with people over the phone.

we cannot stop the use of cellphones because

almost all of us already have our phones especially
the children. They use the phone to watch
11 something.

if it is supposed to hinder the development we

should study more about it, weight it throughly
and see if the development weights higher than
12 the culture.

sometimes the gadgets are beneficial if they're

used for a good cause, but sometimes, people are
using them not in very good way. This is why it is
becoming a hindrance to the success or progress
13 because they are using it badly.
 when it comes to cellphone, the youths and the
children are the ones always using those, the
elders like me do not have any interest when it
comes to those gadgets. But these gadgets also
have their benefits especially when it comes to
communication because they can contact people
that are far away and even people who are abroad.
They do chats and video calls now compared to the
earlier times and use of just sending letters. The
drawback here is that the children use gadgets too
much that it can damage their eyesight and they
would have lesser time in their studies because
14 they are always in their phones.
