AI: How do Filipino learners take advantage of it?

ThisIsEngineering

No doubt, today's generation of learners are privileged as compared to learners several decades ago as far as doing academic research and other tasks. With the availability of modern technology, any piece of information is just at the tip of the fingers.

But do the learners take advantage of this technology? Is this modern being used appropriately to their advantage? And how do Filipino learners take advantage of it? Or what are the drawbacks of any access to this mind-boggling technology.

The Filipino learners may not be that rich compared to other students, but it doesn’t mean they are not abreast with the latest technology. Today, even the poorest of the poor Filipinos also have access to modern technology which is made possible with the ingenuity of Filipino businessmen.

Artificial Intelligence

Undeniably, the access to Artificial Intelligence by learners is beyond control by schoolteachers. Being a teacher, I am not against the use of Artificial Intelligence but not to the extent of letting AI answer research and academic tasks assigned to them.

AI can be utilized by learners in eliciting ideas on tasks assigned by teachers to the learners. In the Philippines, the Filipino learners have been taking advantage of AI as a guide in their academic tasks.

While AI can be of great help for students in eliciting ideas and opinions, the misuse of AI may also lead learners to be dependent on this Artificial Intelligence in answering their academic tasks.

Accessibility to state-of-the-art technology is a bane to learners in the long run if incorrectly used. In fact, modern technology has brought comfort and convenience to our lives.

Paninilbihan (Servitude): A Traditional Filipino Courtship Custom

Another traditional courtship custom that used to be popular among Filipino men for its unique, marriage-like setup is ‘ Paninilbihan’ or servitude in the English language. Paninilbihan is just one of the many traditional Filipino courtship customs which used to be observed and practiced by Filipino suitors to help them win Filipina women’s hearts and at the same time to prove their sincerity and patience to the women they are trying to woo. In this particular courtship tradition, the suitor stays in the house of a woman he is courting for a particular period of time. Throughout the Paninilbihan period, the man would do various farm and household chores while being observed by both the woman he is courting and her parents.

The Poverty porn and the strong influence of social media influencers in the Philippines

The Philippines is one of only two Catholic countries in Southeast Asia. It is just a small country, but in spite of its small size, the Philippines possesses the components to be a tiger economy in Southeast Asia: skilled, hardworking human resources, vast oil reserves, mineral resources, rich marine life, fertile land, pristine beaches, and other natural resources. But despite the abundance of natural resources, the Philippines has remained a developing country. Its struggling economy can be attributed to so many factors that only economists can articulately explain. Due to its widespread poverty, millions of Filipinos look for better economic opportunities abroad. In fact, before the covid-19 pandemic, thousands of Filipinos were leaving the country every day in search of greener pastures in other countries. Leaving one's family behind is a hard decision to make for parents. Being thousands of miles away from loved ones for years is difficult especially for the children and t
