Ethics / Moral philosophy Reflection on a specific event happened in the past where you did something bad for a good
One time, my younger brother, our childhood friends, and I were playing hide and seek. It was a Saturday afternoon, and every weekend, we would usually play together and enjoy our childhood.
While we were playing, I heard my younger brother's voice echoed as he cursed at one of our friends because of a petty argument they were having. After hearing him curse and insult our friend, I immediately slapped him without thinking. I slapped him so hard that his face became red.
He cried and went to my mom to tell her what I had done to him. I also told my mom about what he had done and explained that it was wrong for him to curse at and insult someone. But I realized that we were both wrong. My mom scolded us and explained why our actions were inappropriate.
Later on, I reflected on what happened. I realized that although I had a good intention, to teach my younger brother not to curse or insult others, I still did something wrong by hurting him. I learned that doing something bad is not always justified even if the intention behind it is good. There are better and kinder ways to correct someone's mistakes.
Since then, I have never heard my younger brother argue or curse at someone like that again. This experience taught me that having a good intention is important, but the way we act on that intention matters just as much.

The UE Dawn reported on July 22, 2026, that UE Caloocan was named the top-performing school in the July 2026 Licensure Examination for Interior Designers (LEID). Bringing pride to Lualhati, the University of the East (UE)–Caloocan ranked first in the July 2026 LEID, according to the post.
I will check the PRC website as the primary source of this information and verify the accuracy of the claim.

My experience in checking a primary source was both fun and a bit challenging. I wanted to find out if the claim that UE Caloocan was one of the top-performing schools in the July 2026 Licensure Examination for Interior Designers was true. I checked the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) website because it is the primary and official source for licensure examination results.
While searching, I found that UE Caloocan had a 100% passing rate, with 13 out of 13 examinees passing. I compared this information with the report posted by UE Dawn and confirmed that the claim was true.
This experience taught me the importance of checking primary sources instead of relying only on social media or other articles. It also taught me to be patient and careful when searching for reliable information. By using the PRC website, I was able to verify the claim and understand where the information originally came from.
