    that are happening around us. We Filipinos exhibit this kind of characteristic; we tend to explain

    established through the span of time without any form of scientific study, in short it is a false
    perception. While fallacy is an often conceivable argument using false or invalid inference. Both
    concepts have the same definition of a false and mistaken idea.

    bacteria or viruses, but by how people live, by conditions with which they are born or by the
    hazards around them. It also includes diseases caused by a breakdown of the body tissues, poor
    diet environmental and occupational hazards, stress, and tension.

    waste materials.
