Third Year College Freshman

MAYNILA, Filipinas (Ika-15 ng Nobyembre 2014) -- Matagumpay ang kinalabasan ng REV UP Philippines Summit na idinaos sa University of the Philippines College of Engineering Theater, Lungsod ng Quezon at concert sa Southwestern University, Lungsod ng Cebu. 

Tinalakay sa summit sa halos 200 na estudyante mula sa iba't ibang mga eskwelahan sa Luzon ang mga isyung kinakaharap ng kabataan sa kasalukuyan.

Ang unang nagsalita ay si Marc Lino Abila, pangulo ng College Editors Guild of the Philippines, tungkol sa ipinanukalang Magna Carta for Students sa 16th Congress sa pamamagitan ng opisina ni Rep. Terry Ridon ng Kabataan Partylist.

Sumunod naman sa kanya si Sarah Jane Elago, pangulo ng National Union of Students of the Philippines, at tinalakay ang mga isyu sa kasalukuyang sistema ng edukasyon, lalo sa pagiging komersyalisado nito. 

Huli namang tinalakay ni Victor Villanueva, lead convenor ng Youth Act Now, pagpapakilala sa kanilang organisasyon at ang mga layon nito laban sa Pork Barrel System. 

Pagkatapos ng summit ay nagkaroon ng candle lighting para tumawag ng hustisya para sa nawawalang 43 estudyante sa Mexico na kilala bilang progresibo at lumaban sa mga polisiya ng bansa na umaayon na nagproprotekta sa mga interes ng mga drug cartel.

Sa Cebu naman, nagkaroon ng concert upang isulong rin ang paglaban sa Pork Barrel System.

MANILA, Philippines (November 11, 2014) Jecon, a 19-year-old third year college freshman, is now back in Tumblr after three years of inactivity (with some pa-sulyap-sulyap moments during those times).

An embodiment of the quote: "Quality education takes time."

Currently, he is on a terminal bachelor’s degree in print media in Manila, also doing write-ups for its student publication (when he feels like doing it).

Initially applied for a degree in linguistics and literature, he shifted and majored in international relations, with a minor in economics. That is where he got the idea about the username ‘jeconomics.’

Aside from being a third year college freshman, the student-activist repeated his second year in grade school twice, having spent those years in three different schools. His original batch mates are now working, while his high school classmates are now graduating from college. 

"I am not ashamed of myself. Learning is a life-long process and I am just doing it literally," he jokingly told himself.

Having been preoccupied of studies, he casually goes around Metro and Mega Manila, discovering places and meeting new friends. 

 'Jeconomics' blog

Being in print media, the blog aims to contain the daily experiences of the journalist written in a news article format to improve his print writing skills.

Dudeism

He is an ordained minister of The Church of the Latter-Day Dude, doing things in a chill manner. In spite of his continued participation in activism, as a former student of diplomacy, he believes that the 'take it easy' approach should be done first. You can only get agitated when you have exhausted all diplomatic means.

Jecon here. Back on posting personal shizz.
