G06 Social Studies: The Partisan Problem
The Partisan Problem
January 24, 2025
I believe selfless politicians who put country over party and individual interest can exist. Some already do. In several democracies, during political unrest, cross-party voting is not uncommon. However, the Marcos administration (1965-1986) left a mark that brainwashes people to this day.
During the 1920s, and up until today, the big problem in the Philippines has been that politicians often give up their patriotism in favor of partisan interests. During the early days of the United States, George Washington warned that political parties will only divide the nation. And this does not just apply to America - it applies to all democracies, including the Philippines. On the surface, political parties are essential to democracy. But in the long run, it only divides the nation. The biggest example was in the 1920s, when the Nacionalista and Democrata parties failed to work together to campaign for independence from the United States. When the nation is divided, larger powers will use a divide et impera (divide and conquer) tactic, which makes us prone to invasion.
These country-over-party politicians are, therefore, largely unpopular. But we can change it. By educating students properly, we can create a greater democracy and a greater nation.
We can teach students that they should vote for candidates who prioritize country over party. For instance, politicians from different parties who disagree with each other, can work together to create measures that will protect our country against foreign powers like China.
It is also important to teach history so that students will learn examples from the past and not repeat the mistakes that happened then.
In conclusion, education is essential in helping create patriotic politicians. By putting country over self and party, we help create a brighter future.

G06 MOH: The Holy Trinity - A Poem by Rafael Mercado (January 21, 2025)
The Holy Trinity - A Poem by Rafael Mercado (January 21, 2025)
The Father of us all,
Up in Heaven, never falls.
He led us through the days,
And always led the way.
The Father’s Son is Jesus,
Obeyed Him willingly.
He died on the Cross for us,
To save us from the fire.
And then, there is the Spirit,
Who’s with us every day,
Who leads others to Jesus,
This is the Trinity.
