Bye Third Quarter

As the year ends, another quarter ends. Time flies so fast that I didn't even notice that Third Quarter is about to end.

Again, this quarter exceeded my expectations because we learned web page design and a lot of interesting topics. Of course, the blogging continues and its very fun.

I am expecting for more exciting lesson this upcoming fourth quarter.

Christmas is Christ Mass

Merry Christmas... We greet each other "Merry Christmas" but do we greet Jesus with a "Happy Birthday"?

Let's not forget the true essence of Christmas. You give and receive gifts. You prepare various delicious dishes. Having Christmas carolings. Attending parties. But those are just part of the celebration. It's the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! HAPPY  BIRTHDAY JESUS!

End VAW Now

Violence Against Women and their Children or the VAWC is a serious topic which needs attention and appropriate action. But sad to say, cases of violence aren't often reported.

Fear.

Misery.

Hatred.

Disgust.

People are scared. Afraid to stand up for themselves,a thinking that they're just women and innocent children. But they're not just women and children, they are women and children. They're human. And we are all equal.

In terms of rights, privileges, opportunities, Man=Woman. Always.

"We’ve begun to raise daughters more like sons… but few have the courage to raise our sons more like our daughters.” ― Gloria Steinem

Having awareness on VAWC is very important. You will have knowledge on what you stand for and  being brave for yourself. Stop physical abuse, domestic violence and different types of bullying.

Speak up and fight. You have the right.

Let's put an end to violence.

Let's END VAW NOW.

Environment Awareness Month

" The Earth is what we all have in common" –Wendell Berry.

Environment Awareness Month is one of the best thing that happen this month. Especially that our environment is slowly being destructed. We should be aware of our surroundings.

We can't live without the environment but the environment can live without us.

Children's Month Celebration

Children are the hope of the future. It is on their hands what tommorow will be. Childhood is the most precious and innocent stage of our lives, and it is just right to celebrate Children's Month.

Children's Month is celebrated in November with its different activities including seminars on social media awareness, contests and games for children to enjoy.

Children should have fun for they will not stay as children forever. Life is short. Don't miss any second of your childhood.

Filipino Values Month Celebration

Value with vision. Everyone should be valued. And every one of us should value one another.

November is Filipino Values Month

Bayanihan(Volunteerism), Damayan (Helping one another), Pagkamatapat (Loyalty), Hiya (Loss of face and prestige), Utang na loob (Debt of gratitude), Sariling sikap (Self-reliance), Pakikisama (Comradeship), Matulungin (Helpful), Bukas ang Palad (Philanthropic), respect for elders by the use of Po and Opo when addressing them – these are some of the array of Filipino values for which the Filipino people are known worldwide.

Through the centuries and through interactions with peoples of different cultures, Filipinos have acquired patience, filial piety, close family ties, business acumen, etc., integrating them into their way of life.

These values mirror the Filipino people’s rich heritage of history and culture. They manifest the things in life that Filipinos revere. With these values, Filipinos have coped with the vicissitudes of life.
One value that has not been emphasized in our people’s education is Isang dugo, one blood, one race, referring to our common origin in the past. This is one beautiful and endearing value that we must teach our children to help preserve the unity of our nation.

We observe the month of November as Filipino Values Month. Let us celebrate Filipino Values every day of the year. This will help us keep ourselves together as one people of one blood.

And in here we can find the true heroes.
Teachers.

A simple thank you or gift is pretty much appreciated.  But students don't settle with simple things. Here comes the surprises and of courses the efforts of students just to give their teachers a wonderful day.

Don't belittle teachers. Don't say that their just teachers. You want to become a doctor? An engineer? A lawyer? Or are you already a successful professional?
In any case thank a teacher for they hold a part of the key for your success.

Mirroring Myself

Another school year again begun. I didn't even noticed that our first quarter is already going to end moving on to the next quarter.

           My journey so far is quite interesting for we did reportings that step by step molded us to become more confident at the same time gaining more knowledge about the Internet. The internet is a very interesting topic especially nowadays it is widely used. Knowing its history, origi, and parts was fun. But that's not all, the most exciting part was to explore the internet ourselves. 

The blogging is my favorite part of this quarter. This lesson challenged my writing skills. As I post my blogs, I notice some improvements on my styles and  ways I write in every blog. I started to like blogging which I thought at first was hard but now it became easier for me.

Moving on, I will continue  posting my blogs. I will apply all the lessons about the Internet and to be responsible in using it. I am open for more explorations and discoveries in the Internet and I can't wait for more from the Internet. I am now excited for the next quarter

Philippines: Disaster-prone Country

The Philippine archipelago is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where most seismic and volcanic activities and tremors happen. The Philippines is a disaster-prone country. And disaster awareness and preparedness is a must.

         Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fire, storm surge, and typhoons are only some examples of disasters that the country is facing.  People from different parts of the Philippines take part in the National Disaster Resilience Month which is during the month of July to practice safety measures to have awareness and preparedness on certain type of disasters. 
          This year's theme "Kahandaan sa Sakuna't Peligro para sa Tunay na Pagbabago", aims for awareness and preparation for disasters that may lead to different problems and casualties among Filipinos.

       The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) conducts drills in preparation for numerous disasters like fire and earthquakes. ‘The Big One’ where the possibility of a 7.2 magnitude be generated by the 100 km West Valley Fault is one of the major disasters the Philippines is preparing for.

                         Our fate on disasters is uncontrollable but having awareness and preparedness for these is in our hands. Our safety is very important.  Are you ready to have awareness and preparedness on disasters to be safe in this disaster-prone country?

Longer Life: Nutrition Month 2019

Many Filipinos suffer from abnormal body mass index especially for children. They can either be underweight, overweight, or worse obese. In the other hand, during the month of July, we celebrate Nutrition Month to improve one’s health.

This year, Nutrition Month 2019 theme, “Kumain ng Wasto, at Maging Aktibo… Push natin ‘to”, tackles not only about eating right. It is about having a healthy diet, balancing nutritious food consumption and exercise, engaging in physical activities. When you consume you should expend. You should maintain doing beneficial activities for your health. As the saying goes, “Health is Wealth”. Diseases are the enemy of your health. As early as possible, prevent the onset of diseases and take care of yourself not to catch any illness.

Every school promotes optimum health through this month celebration. School canteens advocate to sell healthy foods to students and doesn’t tolerate junkfoods and softdrinks. This is a very good practice and should be maintained.

Nutrition month is an annual campaign held every July as mandated by PD 491 also known as Nutrition Act of the Philippines that aims to create greater awareness among us, Filipinos on the importance of nutrition. Eating healthy food like fruits and vegetables, and having a balance diet is important in developing one’s self participating actively in physical activities to strengthen their body.

Your health is a very important factor in your life. Eat healthy and be active in life. Promote and practice healthy lifestyle through healthy eating and being active in sports to achieve a longer life.

Earthquake: Disaster Awareness and Preparedness

The Philippines is frequently visited by earthquakes. The Philippine archipelago is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where most seismic and volcanic activities and tremors happen. Adequate awareness and preparedness on these disastrous activities should be properly done.

          As the alarm went off, everyone heads for duck, cover, and hold. Evacuation proceeded, towards the designated assembly point. Finally, the roll call and evaluation of casualties were executed.

          People from different parts of the Philippines take part in the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) that is held quarterly. These quarterly drills seek to promote disaster awareness and preparedness among Filipinos.

          The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) conducts certain drills in preparation for numerous earthquakes happening in the Philippines especially ‘The Big One’ where the possibility of a 7.2 magnitude be generated by the 100km West Valley Fault. Once these earthquakes strike, there is a huge chance of destruction of properties and even worse, loss of lives. That is why practicing such safety measures is a must.

          We can’t stop the forces of nature to strike but with great preparedness, we can arm ourselves from natural disasters. Safety is on the hands of the prepared. No lives would be lost and waste, not much casualties can be encountered, only if there is disaster awareness and preparedness.

Letter to the President

To the President of the Philippines, Mr. Rodrigo Roa Duterte;

          I am not a hundred percent sure that you will read this letter but I would just like to tell you some of my concerns and opinions about the administration.

          First of all, I would like to thank you for all the things that you’ve done for the country. I can see major improvements and expect more for the better.

          For me, you are one of the best presidents of the Philippines so far. I hope you can maintain your good governance and be a good leader to all Filipinos. As I can observe, you can lead but the problem is that many cases of extrajudicial killings, violence, and other unruly behaviors are being spread in the news and contain negative feedback on you.

          Whatever rumors are out there about you, I will still support you for I know that everything that you do is for the betterment of our country. And as a young Filipino citizen, I promise to do my best for our country. You are an inspiration and I salute Sir.

          Thank you.
