Busting Out A Hoax: Cosmic Rays From Mars Will Hit Earth

<p><div style="text-align: justify;">
Hoaxes have been part of the satirical world of the Internet ever since. Different hoax had been a global and phenomenal trend ever since. Some are really obviously false while other hoax is almost as near as a fact. Hoax had since then shaped the course of human life in different perspectives everyday.</div>

One hoax news had recently spread these past days and this hoax is about cosmic rays from Mars that will hit Earth. This cosmic rays was rumored in the hoax that can cause high radiation in opened gadgets and it is added to the hoax that everyone mus turn off their gadgets starting 10:30pm up to 3:30am tomorrow. The hoax had spread all over the country thru text and was spammed all over other cellphone users. This hoax had started in late 2010 in the US in which BBC news had posted a <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8465619.stm" target="_blank">news</a> article about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what are these cosmic rays? A cosmic ray is a immensely high-energy radiation that originates outside the solar system. There is no confirmed study where cosmic rays come from but researches from NASA states that these cosmic rays come from supernovae, active galactic nuclei, quasars, and gamma-ray bursts. As contrary to the hoax, there is still no confirmed information that heavenly bodies such as planets can create cosmic rays and Earth has a stable atmosphere that can protect its inhabitants from cosmic rays.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My own opinions about this hoax is that this thing is 100% obviously satirical to people who has idea in the field of modern electronics and computers. If we do got caught by the satire news and followed such order, every computer and gadget will be turned off which will also include the vital computers used by radar operators in airports, weather agencies, or even in broadcasting stations. Shutting these down just for that kind of joke would cripple the entire nation in a very disastrous manner. Instead of putting nonsense hoaxes just to get the attention of the people, we should instead use it to spread information on what really cosmic rays are.</div>

Somewhat, volleyball fans who watched the 17th Asian Women's U-19 Volleyball Championship in Taipei would have an idea of her. People all over the internet would say that she is a "player on fire" for the Kazakhstan volleyball team but it gives out the reason that it was her "looks" and not her playing skills.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Critics say Sabina Altynbekova, 17, is so beautiful that it's a distraction to the sport. Even the athlete's own coach says his team is increasingly about one player, at least as far as the fans are concerned.</div>

Their team's participation in the recent tournament in Taiwan had sparked an online sensation especially to Altynbekova. Taiwanese fans were spotted watching the games holding Kazakhstan flags and even went early before the match just to get a glimpse of her. It was like that Altynbekova just gets the eyes and the attention of fans and players, teammate or opponents alike.<br />

peacefully.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;">People were
starting to converge along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City early Monday
morning,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="textexposedshow">a few hours before the State of the Nation Address.<br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Street vendors were selling kwek-kwek (quail eggs),
bottled water and other drinks while kids were roaming around the car-free
Commonwealth Avenue looking for coins dropped by passing vehicles the previous
days.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">What set the scene apart from an ordinary day along
the busy highway: container trucks and barbed wires were in place, signs of of
things to come.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">On the other side of the fenced area, policemen
were lying on the road resting. Some of them had been posted there since two
days ago.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow"><b>Chaos</b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">At around 11:00 a.m., a big group of activists
arrived near Ever Gotesco Mall. The protests began.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Activists hurriedly removed the metal fence on the
island, allowing them to bypass the police barricade. Anti-riot policemen from
the other side of the road ran and tried to block them, but the protesters
pushed through.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">There was one policeman who flashed a peace sign to
the protesters, asking them to remain calm. He urged activists to hold a
dialogue instead of resorting to violence.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">And then chaos began.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">On one side, policemen blocked and pushed
protesters away. On the other, the activists told the first line of security
that they wanted to go near Batasan Complex.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Rocks were thrown and people were hit with
truncheons and shields. Most of the members of the media stayed on top of a
dump truck to give them a good vantage view, while some remained in the middle,
sandwiched by the clashing protesters and policemen.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow"><b>Crying cop</b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">It was a long and tiring dispersal. According to
reports, at least 50 were injured in the clashes.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">But amid the chaos, my lens caught a scene I
thought I would never see during a dispersal.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">A foreign protester was berating a policeman asking
him why they were hurting the people. “Why are you doing this to us? Why are
you hurting us?!”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">The officer simply stood his ground. “I am a
policeman, I’m just doing my job.”</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">He said his job was to maintain peace and order. He
said they were given orders and they had to follow.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Suddenly, the police officer cried.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">The foreigner kept on shouting at this officer. But
the policeman couldn't stop crying. He was trying to hold his tears, but he
couldn't.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Another round of clashes erupted. The policemen
were still trying to push and shove the protesters away. The crying cop simply
stood his ground. He was still holding his shield firmly. Still weeping,
sobbing.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Later, I approached the policeman and asked him his
name. He said he is Joselito. A quick glance at his name tag revealed he is
policeman Joselito Sevilla.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">He said he is a private, and his uniform patch
showed he is from the Marikina police unit.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Asked why he cried, he only said: "Sa gutom at
pagod. Walang tulog. Walang pahinga. Dalawang araw na kami naka-deploy dito.
Tapos ganito, nagkakagulo."</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">It was also PO1 Sevilla's first dispersal
assignment.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow"><b>Realization</b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">I finally understood him. No sleep. No food. No
rest. And he came face-to-face with protesters whose goal was to break the
police line.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Sevilla was physically and emotionally exhausted.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">But he was following orders. He was just doing his
job not to let protesters get near the Batasan Complex.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">He did not hurt the protesters, even if some were
already throwing rocks and hitting cops with wooden sticks.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Finally, some protesters noticed him, too: a
policeman, whom they expected to retaliate, was in front of them, holding his
shield firmly, weeping.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">And then they started to console PO1 Sevilla. A man
held his shoulder, telling him that everything would be alright. Another woman
comforted him, as she tried to give him a handkerchief to wipe his tears.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Amid the chaos, these two protesters hugged PO1 Sevilla
and assured him everything would be fine.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Seconds later, other policemen noticed what was
happening and they moved PO1 Sevilla away from the front lines, away from the
activists.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">I was caught in the middle and I couldn't find him
anymore. He was gone.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span class="textexposedshow">Show of strength</span></b>
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">State forces, especially policemen, are expected to
be firm and not show emotions. What PO1 Sevilla did was not what was expected
of him.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">Did the other anti-riot policemen remove him from
the front line?</span><br />
<br />
<span class="textexposedshow">This incident only shows we are all human beings.
It is not bad to show weakness by crying; that we can still do our job, stand
our ground, but still be peaceful and not hurt another human being; that two
opposing groups can still show compassion as shown by the man and woman who hugged
PO1 Sevilla.</span></span></span></span></blockquote>

<span class="textexposedshow">Hours after the violent protests, I reviewed my set
of photos taken during the day. I smiled when I saw the photo of the policeman
flashing the peace sign before the dispersal. It was PO1 Joselito Sevilla</span></span></span></span></blockquote>
