The mission of the International Youth Coalition is to promote collaboration among the youths across the globe by providing them opportunities as well as enriching their experiences through cultural diversity. This helps bridge a gap between China and the Philippines, particularly among its youth. Youths are unique as this study promotes the youths internationally to strengthen links and collaboration. Thus, the study aims to know whether the youth in the Philippines and China using the variables of the youth exchange program and volunteering could build an International Youth Coalition despite the tension between the two countries.

The scarcity of vaccines and the limited medical resources of the country directed the government to subject the COVID-19 patients to quarantine health facilities to mitigate the curve of infections. Although practical and efficient, this quarantine measure imposed by the government is not exempt from controversies and issues in terms of possible violation of one's freedom and liberty. In trying to address the issue, this paper aims to explore the quarantine policy of the country as stated in the Omnibus Guidelines on the Implementation of Community Quarantine (2020 & 2021). The set guidelines was used and reexamined in the light of the Four Ethical Principles of Quarantine by Ross Upshur (2003) such as the harm principle, proportionality, reciprocity, and transparency. In the final analysis, the paper aims justify whether or not the quarantine health measures of the Philippine government in mitigating the increasing number of COVID-19 infections in the country are reasonable and ethically sound and thus forbid any type of discrimination as well as violation to individual's liberty and freedom.

It has affected humanity throughout the globe who are either hungry due to financial crisis or hospitalized or even killed because of the virus infections. This enduring threat continues to persist as long as the holding sway of the coronavirus remains unresolved. It is no accident that the pandemic of the century mirrors The Plague (1947) of Albert Camus in which both catastrophic events challenged the social order and the vulnerability of human life. Although the health crisis exists in a different period in the history of mankind, nevertheless, the existential crisis it has created has no different. This paper aims to (1) highlight some of the similar events in both pandemics and (2) argue that the pandemic can be an avenue for religious introspection.

This phenomenon can be attributed to the increasing destruction and deterioration of the environment caused by excessive and misguided principles. Accordingly, these principles are motivated by the uncontrolled numbers of the human population, economic sustainability, and even political agenda. Although these factors are significant in understanding the cause of the ecological crisis, nevertheless it does not capture the roots of the problem. This paper aims to provide a deeper analysis on the issue using Martin Heidegger's framework particularly his analysis on the nature of revealing that dominated modern technology. The “enframing" attitude of modern technology, as well as the parasitic response of humanity to the revealing of the natural world, is the root...
