Differenciated

"KUNG TOTOO ANG DESTINY,
DI TOTOO ANG FREE WILL?"

...made me think!

Lexicon wise these are meanings of the two words.

Destiny : what happens in the future : the things that someone or something will experience in the future
: a power that is believed to control what happens in the future (Merriam)

Free will : the ability to choose how to act
: the ability to make choices that are not controlled by fate or God (Merriam)

Well, well, well! It has a point. But I wanted to deep dive the idea.

I wanted to differentiate the two as I do believe that these terms may have been contradicting but co-exist.

As these terms stands on their very time (situation) and act of the person over a matter.

Let us put it this way. When do you consider "destiny" happens? or the "free will" will be used?

The context. Destiny pertains to time wherein a situation will happen without any inference from the person alone. Whereforth, free will would be a decision of a person over a matter at hand or upon taking action to some situation.

Free will would take into the scene as a spice when destiny is taking its stage.
