"In the opening part of the book, he mentioned that this book is for the youth. He divided this book into six sections which according to the author describes the youth’s role in this world based on his age. The first section is PAL (PAL-amunin) which includes discussions about the growth of social media, its effects to the youth and how to be a responsible netizen among others; Registered voter, which includes the responsibilites that came with being a 18-year old Filipino citizen like being an intelligent voter and processing different IDs among others; Laborer which includes a financial literacy manual among others; Housemate, which discusses independence, living alone to eventually starting a family and settling down among others; Alipin which includes discussion about fatherhood and child-rearing among others; Historian where the author reminisced things and parts of the past and reflected on where he is now among others; and Chapter 7 X 8 which includes random things from spiritual life, smart shaming, book and movie recommendations, AIDS, environmental and current issues like phasing out jeepneys and other outlandish random trivias. This book is quite different from all the books that I read from Bob Ong so far..." --
