Freedom of Speech: How Free Are We to Express our Thoughts?

Most people would say that freedom of speech means that we have the right to say whatever we like, whenever we like. But let’s debunk that because that’s just a misconception of what freedom of speech truly is. The proper definition for freedom of speech is having the right to seek, receive and impart ideas and also information of all kinds. This may even include those that may or may not be offensive. It is our sole responsibility on how to properly use this freedom of speech and it is supposed to be legitimately restricted because it must be governed.

Because most of the population doesn’t know the true definition of freedom of speech and they still think the former is the right one, then that’s the reason why they abuse it and use freedom of speech for inadequate ideas and information. It can be commonly found in social media sites nowadays. People are exposing, mocking, quarrelling and bullying other people via these sites and claiming that they do so because they have this freedom of speech. But they’re totally wrong. That’s not freedom of speech. Freedom of speech requires us to be sensitive to others and to be fully responsible of our expressions. Nowadays, what people do is to defile another person or entity then use freedom of speech as their excuse.

We all have the right to freedom of speech but it must always come to our mind to be responsible of our expressions, to know what must be said or not said especially in public and to practice this meaningfully.

E-Blog 02: "Ang Probinsyano" vs PNP

We recently discussed the dispute between “Ang Probinsyano” and the Philippine National Police. We had to pick out our partners and we had to choose which side we’re on. Well, before picking any side, my partner and I had to first watch the video regarding the said dispute because we have no idea what is happening between them. That may be because we don’t watch the TV series, or the news nor do we care about such matters, frankly speaking. After knowing about it, that’s the only time we were able to pick sides. Individually, we gathered 3 important pieces of evidence that would support our claim. Later on, we discussed it with our partners then compiled our works into a single Powerpoint presentation. Afterwards, the class was divided into two: those which sided with “Ang Probinsyano” and those with the PNP. We had to write in the board all the things that made our claim right and as well, writing those which would make the opposing side wrong. After such, our teacher, being on a ne
