Heroes of Olympus Poem

 The Napa Bargain Mart

by Zac Dizon

Percy, who's been killing Gorgons
Slashing, slicing, and slamming for days
The two monsters looking for his vital organs
While he tries to avoid their gaze

Scrambling to hide from his pursuers
Contemplating crossing bay
Not wanting to become a skewer
He decided to run away

Running to the bargain mart
Safety was short-lived
Not wanting to get stabbed in the heart
He hid amongst the shelves

Stheno and Euryale arrived
One offering Cheese 'n' Wieners
The other baring her fangs
Gorgons set their sights on what they prized

Busy with their idiotic babble
Percy looked for an opening
Then while focusing
He saw the way out of the bargain mart

Indigenous Social Sciences : A Driving Force for Development By Zac Dizon When you think of the Filipino social sciences, do you think of the Filipino core values? Do you believe that they can be used to further improve the state of the country? These social sciences take a deeper look at what exactly are the Filipino values. This paper will take a look into what are “utang na loob”, “bahala na”, “pagtitiis” and other well-known values of the Filipino people, and if these values are significant to the development of the Philippines into a better country.  The Philippine values are very distinct from other countries, especially in the area of interpersonal relationships.
