Current philosophical thinking. The items and modes of expression and identity that
are frequently encountered or widely accepted, popularly admired or favored, and
representative of a specific society at a particular period are referred to as popular
culture. And as I was growing up, a lot of pop culture had an impact on me and helped
to shape who I am now.

I particularly liked Sexbomb's dance song when I was a little child, therefore
anything related to them became part of my growing popular culture. When my friends
and I are playing, I usually dance the spaghetti song even though I'm very stiff because
it makes me feel wonderful. But, my grandmother constantly teases me that I should be
in a pressure cooker so that I wouldn't be so stiff. The second form of popular culture I
experienced as a child was the variety of morning cartoons I used to watch, including
Spongebob, Dragon Ball, Doraemon, and a mythology show on channel 11 whose
name I can no longer remember. These cartoons used to make me incredibly happy
and turned me into a morning person because their early air times required me to get up
early in order to watch them. The third form of popular culture I experienced growing up
were ebooks and wattpad stories like She's Dating the Gangster, which was also made
into a movie with Kathniel playing the lead roles, and The Diary of ng Panget, which is
one of my favorites and from which I even insisted on giving my niece her nickname.

2. What pop culture icons/events are the most significant to you growing up,
which you treasure until today and why.

Growing up, I felt that the Sexbomb dancers, the Mythology cartoon, and the
ebooks and wattpad writings were the most important pop culture symbols and
happenings. I cherish it since it helped make my childhood years really thrilling and
joyful, as if there were never any problems in life. I always value it because I've learned
to be optimistic, to always search for the good in others, and to value the things that are
significant to me.

3. Do you think you learned from the pop culture icons/events you discussed
earlier? If yes, what are the lessons you learned with these growing up?

Etymology is everything to me. Anything about our world must be understood in the
context in which it was created. So, for me, the most significant feature of any
civilization is the way that words may take on lives of their own.

Thus, whenever we extrapolate any significance from a communication, we do so on

the basis of trust. The fact that we are unable to deduce any axioms only serves as
evidence for this. Since we cannot determine a word's identity after it has been written
without some prior knowledge of its purpose, we must start with its definition. The same
is true of all symbolic systems that influence our epistemologies and make our
ontologies clear. There must first be things for all theories of being (ontos) to hold true.

Consequently, all of these verbal paths lead me to a fork in the road, which I have
written about in somewhat esoteric detail in my response to the question, What is the
difference between reality and imagination? in the condensed version of my favorite
contradiction, and more simply.

4. Why do you think we must study and learn the origins and spread of pop
culture in the Philippines?

Studying pop culture provides us with an approachable way to investigate philosophical

and moral issues as well as how society operates on a smaller scale (for example,
fandom, consumption), which allows us to draw more general conclusions. Also, it is
crucial to understand and study popular culture since doing so enables us to
comprehend the origins of various popular cultures and sheds light on the ways in which
local customs vary. Additionally, it strengthens our sense of national pride and helps us
create our sense of who we are as a nation. We gain a better grasp of our future in the
international community of nations and our global society of humans by conserving
cultural memory through culture-based learning.
