WARNING: PINOY FACEBOOK!

The porn attacks originated in the Philippines and are being published by Filipinos all over Facebook, our experts here at Facebook are doing everything they can to stop it from spreading any further (outside the Philippines) and to eliminate the porn and spam threat completely which have been causing other Facebook users ‘a hard time’. Filipinos should also be vigilant and report any spam links and pornographic materials. 41% of Facebook members around the world are aged 12-17 years old, we cannot be exposed to this kinds of things through Facebook. If this continues and more spams keep being posted, we will have no choice but to ban Philippine users from using Facebook. We at Facebook will not tolerate outlandish behavior and indecency. - Mark Zuckerberg, FACEBOOK CEO




So I have seen reports and posts lately about hackers on Facebook who posts explicit materials and liking pornographic sites using unsecured Facebook accounts. And as the reports said, they originated here in the Philippines. Yes, that's right: in the Philippines!


The country where people serve guests with all they have whether they are close relatives or just new friends, even strangers for the fact. The country where bayanihan used to happen, people dropping everything they have just to help out their fellow countrymen. The country where family ties and values weigh much more value than social norms.


And now these? Where are these Filipino traits we used to have? Where are the things I used to be proud of being Filipino? Have we lost them all? I know for a fact that our country has tons of social and economic problems as of the moment ( I would know, it's related to what I am studying now), but do we blame these things and then act accordingly to its consequences?


I admit I too had my days of hormonal rage and stuff, but still I have the decency and reasoning to keep it to myself then. As the post said, 41% of Facebook members are adolescent people, going through such hormonal imbalance in their bodies as well as we do. Do you think we exposing them to these $#!z would help them any better?


It really discourages me when I see these things happening to our country. I have always been praying for our beloved country, that one day God will reign and bring His Kingdom here because everything is better when He is in rule. And though these things may dishearten me, I will continue to pray unceasingly for our fellow countrymen, that they would see God as I have seen Him working in my life and the lives of people around me. I pray for these souls who do not know the eternal punishment for the things they do, but more importantly they realize that there is eternal forgiveness in God's unconditional love and justice.
