Unang pahina ng unang labas ng nobela ni
Susana de Guzman na “Makabagong Pilipina”
sa Bituin Komiks No. 01 (May 7, 1949).

          Ang terminong “Modern Filiipina” o “Makabagong Filipina” ay unang nailathala bilang isang kuwento sa Bituin Komiks No. 01 (May 7, 1949). Ito ay sa nobelang isinulat ni Susana de Guzman na may pamagat na “Makabagong Pilipina.” Pansinin na sa pagkakabaybay ay letrang “P” ang ginamit sa halip na “F.” Ito ay sa kadahilanang noong 1949 ay hindi pa ginagamit ang salitang “Filipina.”
          Ang nobela ni De Guzman ay ginawan ng komiks scripts ni Pedro Enriquez Magpayo at iginuhit o isinalarawan ni Francisco Reyes.

WIKApedia
Ano ang Pagkakaiba?
          Ano ang pagkakaiba ng Filipino sa Pilipino?
          Ang “Filipino” ay patungkol sa kasarinlan o pagkabansa. Sa madaling salita, ito ay nationality. Samantalang ang “Pilipino” ay ang wika.
          Upang lalong maintindihan, narito ang dalawang pangungusap bilang pagpapaunawa: 1. Pilipino ang wika ng mga Filipino. 2. Ang isang mamamayang Filipino ay dapat marunong magsalita ng Pilipino.

Pacific nuclear bomb test explosion creating
a radioactive cloud mushroom, on the cover
of Newsweek May 7, 1962 issue
Larawang Tribiya
          Alam niyo ba na mula 1946 hanggang 1962, kutakot-takot na nuclear bomb tests ang ginawa ng America sa lugar na kung tawagin ay Pacific Proving Ground, kabilang dito ang Marshall Islands. Maraming kapinsalaang ginawa ang pagpapasabog ng mga bombang nuklear na ito ng America sa mga tao at hayop na naninirahan sa mga naturang isla at sa mga kapaligiran nito. Lumaganap ang iba’t-ibang uri ng cancer at birth defects sa naturang mga lugar. Dahil dito pinagbayad ang America ng halagang umaabot sa halos 800 million dollars sa mga mamamayan ng Marshall Islands. Subalit lumipas pa ang halos apat na dekada bago naibahagi ang kabayarang ito.
          Sa Partial Test Ban Treaty (1963), ipinagbawal na ang atmospheric at underwater nuclear bomb testing, bagama’t sinasabing ipinagpatuloy pa rin ito ng mga bansang America at France.

May 1



ALAM MO BA 'TO?
(Do You Know This?)


Ang Buwan ng Mayo
          Ang buwan ng Mayo na panglimang buwan sa Gregorian Calendar ay tinatawag sa sinaunang Roman Calendar na Maius na hinalaw sa pangalan ni Maia, ang diyosa ng pagsibol at paglago. Bagama’t mayroong nagsasabi na ito ay mula sa salitang Latin na majores na tumutukoy sa mga “nakatatandang tao” kaya ang buwang ito ay sinasabing para sa kanila. Isa pang posibleng pinagmulan ng pangalan ng buwang ito ay ang tawag sa mataas na kapulungan ng Senado sa Roma na tinatawag ding Majores.
          Sa Pilipinas, ang buwan ng Mayo ay karaniwang tinutukoy bilang buwan ng mga piyesta na halaw sa sinaunang kaugalian ng mga katutubo na buwan ng pagpapasalamat sa mga diyos at diyosa o sa mga anito ng kalikasan dahil sa masaganang ani, na nahaluan ng paniniwalang Katoliko.
          Ang agate ang birthstone ng Mayo noong sinaunang panahon at emerald naman sa makabagong panahon, samantalang ang flower of the month ay ang hawthorn.
