FIR Reading Blog #4

Title: Alab ng Puso Sa Dibdib Mo'y Buhay!

Author: Manix Abrera

Time Alloted for Reading: One day


Summary

A comic book about a group of students in U.P and their wacky adventures. It is chock- full of hilarity, philosophical, social, and political materials.


Insight

It made me feel somewhat patriotic about my country. It made entertained me in way. Firstly, because of the physical comedy and secondly, because truths regarding our country's politics, society, the culture and our very won existence were explicitly told. Most of the time the words and thoughts on the comic strips made me envy those people, by those I mean the U.P community. Apparently, the school does not have to do anything with this at least not 100% because it is the individuals themselves ans their brilliance, creativity, open- mindedness that made them who they are. They just happen to be enrolled in one educational institution. Still, I cannot help not to be envious of their intelligence. The issue of the chaotic world of politics in our country is more tackled than any other topics. U.P people are known speaking out their minds literally and figuratively. There are hundreds of activists in that school and the number continue to increase. They are not afraid to voice out their anger, frustration, and all the feelings in the world they have toward the government and its supposedly good actions to bring betterment to our country. Even if their lives are on the line, they take the risks because they believe change should occur. Without acting responsibly, I have always admired U.P community for being vocal and fighting important issues. They do all of these without restraints and without fear, while some of some of the people I know who are capable of doing the same thing prefer not to be receptive of absorbing all these unacceptable anomalies.
