• BA Broadcast Communication • Favorite book: "Captivating" by Stasi Eldredge. This non-fiction book changed the way I see myself as a woman and daughter of God. • Favorite film: Hairspray (2007 musical film). This film never fails to give me the good vibes whenever I watch it. It makes me want to dance every time! • Favorite media practitioner: Cathy Yang. I interviewed her for a class requirement before. She amazes me with the way she manages to balance her work and her personal time with her family. The way she carries herself with grace, professionalism, and poise in everything she does inspires me to do well in the future. • Favorite musician: Adele. Her voice is simply amazing. • Favorite website: Instagram.com. I love taking and looking at pictures! • Favorite meal: Pininyahang Manok. I like chicken dishes and sweet stuff. • Hobbies: Crosstitching, Photography, Travelling _______________ Can this song, since it has about two cuss words, be legally played in the internet? Why or why not? I think it can be played legally in the internet. But since the song contains cuss words, it must be labelled accordingly (for example, "explicit" or the likes of it) and/or preferably, they must produce another version of the song without the cuss words. Is it covered by the free speech clause? Why or why not? No, because the song doesn't attack or defame a person or group. Also, it is an intellectual property. Is the cursing gratuitous or is it justified by the context/ content? Why or why not? The song, "Pare Ko" by Eraserheads, expresses the frustration and hurt of the singer when the college girl he likes rejected his advances, hence the cuss words used in a context of frustration, anger, and hopelessness because he likes her so much. For me, the use of the cuss words are unnecessary. Their usage in the song is an informal way of making it easy to express the strong feelings of the singer, but I believe there are other words that can be used or changes in the songs that can be done to avoid the cuss words. For example, the word, "gag*hin" can be replaced by a variation of the word "niloko" or "sinaktan".
