Is it me or is today’s youth fixated on trivial things far too much? I’m not going to pretend like I’m an expert at Philippine history nor am I going to pretend like I didn’t have my share of crazy Tabing Ilog or Meteor Garden moments, but something like the ALDub (did I capitalize that right?) vs Pastillas craze? That never happened in my generation (I sound like such a Lola).
A few days ago, a friend of mine posted this on social media because she received over 50 mentions and 20 RTs all because she didn’t capitalize the L in her #ALDubEBforLOVE hashtag:
Okay… First of all, hashtags are not case-sensitive. And second of all, if these kids would channel all of that energy into advocating something more useful and beneficial to their fellowmen, I’m sure we’d live in a much better country right now.
Maybe it has something to do with social media being so rampant nowadays and maybe it’s not even this generation’s fault, but I really think importance should be placed on things that aren’t so ALDub and Pastillas-related. I’ll let these photos do the rest of the talking.
What do you think about this?
Not defending either aldub or pastillas but i believe there are lessons to be learn from everything that’s happening around us. For the noontime show competition right now, we can learn some lessons in marketing like why does this show click more than others. From aldub, what is it theyre doing that captured the imagination of so many people in such a very short time. Maybe we can apply those lessons in our work. For pastillas, what is it about them that made people hate them so much? How do we avoid them in our future projects
even a grade school child knows the importance of our national heroes but there’s nothing to compare about it with ALDUB,..im a fan of eat bulaga since birth & yeah I think im a fan of the kalyerye as well because of the positivity that it shares…
happy & optimistic minds…
will just enjoy the moment and be inspired, who knows inspired people ignites their passion, these might be something for the betterment of our economy…
bitter and pessimistic minds…
will always have something bad to say, why not just be happy and inspired…
just saying…
You know why we give a $#£^ about the generation who obsess about the smallest of the pop culture phenomenon but remain ignorant about the rest of how the world works? It’s because these people grow up to be a part of society and then we have to deal with them and be responsible for them.
Wala kayong paki kung puro aldub at pastillas ang pinapanuod namin. At wala kayong paki dahil nakikibalita lang kayo. Walang makakapigil sa amin. Kung suto nyo gayahin nyo rin kami. lolz
