Richard Gomez concerned about "total disaster" in Ormoc City after Yolanda onslaught

Mga panawagan para sa dasal, suporta, at paalaala para sa pagkakaisa ang ipinaabot ng ilang kilalang personalidad sa social networking sites ngayong panahon ng isa pang kalamidad.

Nanalasa sa bansa, partikular na sa Visayas, ang tinaguriang super-typhoonang Yolanda.

Dumapo sa Pilipinas si Yolanda noong November 8, Biyernes, at pininsala nito nang matindi ang Leyte, Cebu, at Samar, kung saan kumitil ito ng di pa nabibilang na buhay at nanira ng maraming tirahan, puno, at establisimyento.

Unang nakatawag-pansin sa social networking sites ang mga posts ng aktor na si Richard Gomez, na naglarawan ng kalunos-lunos na kalagayan ng Ormoc, ang hometown ng kanyang kabiyak na si Leyte 4th District Representative Lucy Torres-Gomez.

Sa tweet ni Goma ay inilahad niyang tunay na malubha ang tinamong pinsala ng Ormoc, lalo na coastal barangays nito.

Sinabi rin niyang ang municipality ng fourth district ng Leytena kinabibilangan ng Albuera, Merida, Isabel, at Palomponay "total disaster."

Pati raw ang bahay ng mga magulang ni Lucy ay nagtamo ng pinsala.

Ayon sa post ng aktor sa Twitter account niyang @1richardgomez1: "roof of our house & garage are gone & 4 cars hit & destroyed by debris. Roof of the house of lucy's parents r half gone and all glass windows."

Toronto, Nov 9 (IANS): British researchers have shown that people declaring support for a charity on social media are less likely to donate for the cause later on.

This trend has led to an increase in people becoming 'slacktivists'. The study was done at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business.

"Charities incorrectly assume that connecting with people through social media always leads to more meaningful support," says Sauder Ph.D student Kirk Kristofferson, who co-authored the forthcoming Journal of Consumer Research article.

"Our research shows that if people are able to declare support for a charity publicly in social media, it can actually make them less likely to donate to the cause later on."

The study results add fuel to recent assertions that social media platforms are turning people into "slacktivists" by making it easy for them to associate with a cause without committing resources to support it, reports Science Daily.

WASHINGTON -

You may not have heard of a social media site called Ask.fm, but your kids probably have. And it's deadly. Ask.fm is now linked to nine teen suicides in the last year.

The social networking site allows users to post anonymous comments online. Kids as young as 13 years old are allowed on the site, everyone can see all the posts, and no one monitors the content.

"Anyone can say what they want, so people aren't going to be nice most of the time," Max Raykov says.

Robert Siciliano, a McAfee cyber security expert says Ask.fm is the new favorite sparring site for cyberbullies who want to tear people down without showing their face.

"There's no accountability with anonymity and the overall drama that takes place in social media exemplifies teen angst," Siciliano says.

The website BuzzFeed says Ask.fm has been linked to nine teen suicides in the last year.

People like 14-year-old Hannah Smith was found hanged by her sister in August after anonymous bullies on Ask.fm wrote things like: "every1 will be happy if you died. drink bleach. Go die."

"Teen suicides happen every day unfortunately, but the fact that a certain amount of teens were found with this on their phones or devices and their parents are equating to that definitely raises eyebrows," says Siciliano.

"Some of my friends have it and people do post mean things like you have no friends and stuff," 12-year-old Savannah says.
