MANILA, Philippines — News has become overwhelming and can kill imagination, while art can help people find deeper meaning. Vice President Sara Duterte made the comment as she kicked off National Women’s Month on Wednesday at Estancia Mall in Pasig with the opening of the art exhibit “Gahum sa Buwak: Flower Power,” which features the works of Davao female artists.“The digital age has thrown us into a pool of overwhelming news which kills our imagination and cripples us into apathy, disengagement, and inaction,” Duterte said in her speech.
According to her, it’s concerning how it has become difficult for people to relate to others with different experiences.
JMangaluzINQ Does she even know what she’s talking about? The digital age caused awareness, political engagement and action and an appreciation for the arts. That’s the pink movement she didn’t seem to notice.
