SOCIAL MEDIA. Dr. Miriam (complete name withheld upon request) said she was fully aware of the social media being now part of the Filipino lifestyle. “Pero puwerteng kuganga ko dihang nadunggan ko ang Grade 3 nga anak sa driver sa among silingan nga misinggit sa iyang klasmet nga amo ra sang silingan: “Pahibaw-a lang ko sa akong Facebook account.â€
NOT JOKING. The girl was not joking. She has a Facebook account of her own. Dr. Miriam did not ask the parents about their little girl's Facebook. (“Basi’g masuko,†she said.) She was told about it by the classmate who also has a FB account!
