Isulong: Tamang Pag-aaruga para sa lahat ng bata

    
Kay dami ng mga bata ang pakalat-kalat sa lansangan. Mga batang halos mamatay na sa gutom. Mga kabataan na dapat nagsisipag-pasok sa paaralan. Nasaan ba ang kanilang mga magulang?

   

   Kung hindi sana pabaya ang kanilang mga magulang ay maiiwasan ang mga karumal dumal na mga krimen. Kasalan ng mga pabayang magulang kung bakit nalilihis sa tamang landas ang kanilang mga anak. Ang mga magulang dapat ang magsilbing modelo sa loob man o labas ng tahanan. Ang mga magulang ang unang tao na nakagisnan nila sa mundo. Ang mga magulang ang huhubog at mag-aakay sa kanilang mga anak patungo sa tamang landas ng buhay. Hindi ko lubos na maintindihan ay kung bakit napakaraming mga kabataan ang napapariwara ang buhay. May mga bata pa nga na nagtatrabaho upang may makain sila imbes yung magulang ang nagsasakripisyo ay yung mga anak ang gumagawa. Tanong ko sa aking sarili, "Bakit may ibang mga magulang na ginustong magkaanak pero pagdating na nang responsibilidad nila bilang isang magulang ay hindi nila ito ginagampanan? Bakit pa ba sila nagkaanak kung hindi naman nila kaya o di kaya'y hindi sila handa na harapin ang responsibilidad na iyon?"

   Responsibilidad ng mga magulang ang tamang pag-aaruga nila sa mga anak. Kinakailangan nila ng haba ng pagtitiis at pagtitiyaga. Kailangan na magkatuwang palagi ang magulang sa lahat ng bagay upang mapalaki ng mabuti ang kanilang mga anak. Dapat na maglaan sila ng oras at panahon para sa kanilang  mga anak upang hindi kailanman maligaw ng landas.
 
   Sabi nga ni Jose Rizal na ang kabataan ang siyang pag-asa ng bayan. Kaya pinagsisikapan ng mga magulang na pag-aralin ang kanilang mga anak. Kaya ngayon huwag sanang pababayaan ng mga magulang ang kanilang mga anak upang hindi sila maligaw ng landas.

Grab a bite to read

      It is not a secret that reading is the key to success. We have been told and taught this from a very early age. It has been proven that children who read better, perform better in school and have a more active imagination, leading to a larger world and more possibilities for success. 

Words. We use them daily. They are an essential part of communication. Reading is the single most important skill necessary for a happy, productive, and successful life. 

  Educators have said for years how important reading is for student success which is quite true. However, it is more than that. Reading is important for life success. The more you know, the smarter you grow. 

  From time to time people have wondered why reading is important. There seems so many other things to do with one's time. Reading is important for a variety of reasons. So, why is reading important? First, reading is important because it is the vital skill in finding a good job. Many well-paying jobs require reading as a part of job performance. Second, it is how we discover new things. A person who knows how to read can educate themselves in any area of life they are interested in. We live in an age where we overflow with information, but reading is the main way to take advantage of it. And last, reading is important because words- spoken and written- are the building blocks of life. You are, right now, the result of words that you have read or heard and believed yourself.  What you became in the future will depend on the words you believe about yourself now.

Mapanuring paggamit ng gadgets tungo sa mapagkalingang ugnayan sa pamilya at kapwa

  Mula sa pagsikat ng araw hanggang sa paglubog nito gadgets lang ang ating hinahawakan at tinututukan. Wala na tayong ibang ginagawa kundi humiga at hawak-hawak ang cellphone. Minsan nga din ayaw na nating gumalaw kahit inuutusan tayo ng ating magulang. Sabi nga nila ang gadgets at may napakalaking papel na ginagampanan sa pang-araw-araw na buhay ng tao. Pero paano kung nasosobrahan na natin ang paggamit nito? Hindi ba't pag nasobrahan mo ang paggamit nito ay nakakasira sa iyong kalusugan at pati na rin sa iyong pag-aaral?

   Tayo na ngayon at nasa makabagong panahon na, na kung saan nakadepende na lahat ang ating mga gawain sa teknolohiya. Umuunlad na nga ang ating panahon ngayon. Napakarami na ngang bagong teknolohiya gaya na lang ng mga cellphone, computer, iPod at iba pa. Marami ding tao ang pabor sa pag-angat ng teknolohiya dahilan na din na nagbibigay ito ng mabuting dulot sa pamumuhay natin. Ngunit minsan talaga marami nang mga kabataan ang nasosobrahan sa paggamit ng gadgets. Kahit man nasa hapag-kainan tayo, halos lahat ng buong pamilya ay gumagamit ng cellphone. Mas pinipili pa nga nilang makapag-isa kasama ang kanilang cellphones kaysa makipag-ugnayan sa kanilang kapwa at pamilya. Nalilimitahan na nga ang kanilang komunikasyon dahil mas pinipili nilang makipag-usap sa ibang tao sa pamamagitan ng social media. Hindi na nga nila mabitawan ang mga ito kahit saan man sila pumunta. Para nga sa ibang tao naging pamilya na nila ang gadgets kaya hindi nila ito maiwan-iwan. Kaya dapat kinakailangan nating alamin ang ilang mabuti at masamang epekto ng gadgets.

   Alam naman nating lahat na may mabubuting epekto ang gadgets sa atin isa na rito ay ang mabilis na pagresponde sa mga kaganapan, mabilis na pag-connect sa mga tao kahit malayo man sila, at nakakatulong din sa pag-aaral ng mga kabataan. Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat ng kabutihang naidudulot ng gadgets, mayroon at mayroon pa ring masamang epekto nito gaya na lamang ng pagiging tamad natin, pagkalulong dito na nagiging addiction, at maaaring makasira sa ating pag-aaral dahil sa mga online at offline games. 

   Dahil dito kinakailangan nating maging mapanuri sa pagamit ng gadgets lalong-lao na sa mga kabataan upang makamit natin ang mapagkalingang ugnayan sa pamilya at sa ating kapwa. Kailangan na alalahanin natin ang mga gadgets ay maaaring makasira sa ugnayan natin ng ating pamilya. Kaya huwag nating abusuhin ang paggamit ng gadgets at kung kaya nating balansehin ang paggamit nito, gawin natin! Laging tandaan na hindi puro mabuti ang mga naidudulot nito. Gamitin natin ang mga ito sa tamang paraan.

Another discovery has ended

     Look! Another chapter has ended and completed. And I'm so happy because I learn something new again. And because time runs so fast I did not noticed that this chapter was over. Another chapter, another beginning, another lesson again to discover and learn something more about it. 

     During this quarter, we discussed different topics. First is we talked about Internet Access by which individual terminals, computers, mobile devices, and local area networks are connected to the global Internet. Second is the HTML or sometimes called as HyperText Mark-up Language. In this lesson I learn on how to create a HTML documents. For me in creating HTML document it is both difficult and easy. It is difficult because you must know and memorize  first all the HTML tags so that you can easily create a HTML document. In creating or doing this you must be careful with every symbols you will type. We also make another blogs which is all about the theme of Science Month, UN and Teachers' Day.

     There are those times that I encountered problems and one of it is I'm too slow in typing and sometimes I don't know and I don't even remember what would be the first tag to type. But with the help of our teacher and also my classmates I was able to surpass these challenges and I was able to learn what my teacher and my classmates have taught me. Another challenge that I've faced again is that writing an article. As I have said during the first quarter, I'm not good in making articles and I can spend more time to think until I will finish it. 

     Moving on, I will continue to post more blogs in my blog account so that my writing skills will be develop. And I will continue to share knowledge, new ideas from what I've learned from my teacher . And I will expect that the last two chapters will be an interesting one and more different topics to discuss and learn. 

Coming together with those furthest behind to build an inclusive world of universal rights and dignity

     

   The 2018 theme, "Coming together with those furthest behind to build an inclusive world of universal rights and dignity" reminds us of the importance of the values of dignity and solidarity, as well as the call to action to end poverty everywhere.

     Some of the poorest people are the most dignified. And some of the richest lack dignity. In a world of poverty and injustice, who are the undignified? Is it the poor or the rich?

     Dignity is a word that overturns traditional assumptions about north and south, developed and developing. Dignity lens introduces an irony whereby the "less developed" can actually be more dignified. In this way, development becomes a truly global endeavors not by the "developed" for the "developing", but by all, for all, to achieve the dignity of all.

     Extreme poverty is undignified, sometimes communities or individuals do find themselves helpless and in need of crisis or ongoing assistance. But that isn't a sufficient understanding of the experiences of most poor people. Whether in city or countryside, very poor people tend to work for a better life.

     Dignity must be deployed as a moral concept in order to measure the degree of decency of a civilization. Backed by a framework of rights, dignity creates a sense of self respect, which can be reflected in demeanor and body language.

Heroes

     Teachers' Day is a special day for the appreciation of teachers and may include celebrations to honor them for their special contributions in a particular field area, or the community in general.

     Our school celebrates teachers' day in a unique manner. We give a break to our teachers from their routine at that day. All the students of our school take this opportunity to tell the teachers how much they love and respect them. We also give them cards, bouquets and some gifts. Those happy smiles on their faces are rewards enough for us. Honoring teachers and giving gifts to them as a symbol of obligation towards their service, has become a tradition and an integral part of teachers day celebration

      In this day we celebrate and thank our dearest teachers for their hardwork and dedication. Teacher's contribution to a society cannot be easily ignored. It is then obvious that we should take a day to honor those who have been our torchbearers to the path of righteousness and success. Even though they scold us sometimes, they shout in the class but they had a purpose and it is to discipline us. Look! There are so many professionals now, doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, and many more and this is because of some heroes. Yes, teachers are like our parents, our second parents. They teach us the best that they can do in order us to learn more and to gain knowledge from them.
     We cannot return back all the knowledge that our teachers had bestowed us with, in a single day or even in ages, but we can honor them by taking out some time to show our respect, love and gratitude for them.

Accentuating Potentials Activating Technological Advancements

     This theme aims to focus on giving importance to Michael Faraday's discovery of electricity and magnetism as part of the same phenomenon (electromagnetism), which is now the cornerstone of human technological advancements that brought significant changes in the world until today, and even upcoming changes in the future.

    Our personal life is highly dependent on the technology that people have developed. Technology has advanced with years and it has changed the way we purchase products, the way we live, the way we communicate, the way we travel, the way we learn and so many changes have been brought about by these continuous technological advancements. As people's demand and life style change, the demand for advancing the type of technology we use is high.

     The effects of technological advancements are both positive and negative. Positively, technology advancement has simplified the way we do things, it saves time, it increases on production, it simplifies communication, it has improved health care and it has also improved our education environment. Negatively, technology advancement has made humans so lazy, technology users are so dependent on new advance tech tools, this laziness has resulted into less innovation, it has increased on health risk because technology users exercise less. 

     Technological Advancements have helped business organizations save time and cost of production which has been an advantage to all business, they manage these advancements to gain competitive advantage.

Experience,Suffer,Start

          Disaster Resilience is the ability of individuals, organizations, communities to adapt to and recover from hazards, shocks, or stresses. Disasters are highly disruptive events that cause suffering, deprivation, hardship, injury and even death. We do not know when and what time the disaster may happen. This may happen anytime so we must always prepared to face this disaster. 

             

           We all know that Philippines is known to be a disaster prone country because it is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire. So we always experienced natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and many more that can lead us to death and destruction of properties. This past few years people in Tacloban City, Leyte experienced Yolanda's ferocity where many people suffered, injured, and died. Many properties and structures were destroyed. They also grief for their loved ones who died. Some of them were sad because of what happen. It's just like a bubble that suddenly loses all your hardships in life. In this kind of situation, we must accept the fact and start a new beginning, a new life. 

          Recovery takes time. It is important to allow yourself time to process your circumstances and regain a sense of normalcy. There are things you can do to heal and rebuild. First, allow yourself extra time to get things done. Second, release your emotions and tension by talking to someone you trust. This can help put things into perspective. 

           No matter how the disaster destructive is, we should always stay strong and be brave. we must help one another. We must think about the welfare of others not only ourselves. Let us not lose hope and have trust in the Lord. We will start our lives again and we must be ready anytime so that when this tragedy or disaster happens again we will be prepared.

A New Chapter: Beginning

           During the first quarter, we discussed different topics. First we discussed about the history of the internet. In here I have learned how the internet started and how it really works. Second, we discussed is all about blogs. Here, I learned on how to create a blog. As a student blogging can offer many opportunities to us to develop our skills in communication, expand our creativity and improve our writing skills.And the last we discussed is the search engines in which there are ways to find answers. There are also steps and terms to know.

             I encountered a lot of challenges. First is we compose an articles to be posted on our blog accounts. When our teacher tell us on what to do I had no any idea because I'm not good in writing an essay. I spend a lot of time to think on how to start it and to think on what will I write. And so, sometimes I surf on the internet and I find it easier to write an essay. And sometimes when writing I get distracted so I prefer being alone. 

                Despite of the many challenges, I was able to surpass these. So with the help of the internet, I can surf information about the given topics which can help me in making blogs easier.

                 Moving on, I will continue to post on my blog account so that my writing skills will be develop. And I will continue to share my knowledge to other. I will apply what I learned from these challenges.

Wikang Filipino: Daan sa kaunlaran

          Tuwing buwan ng Agosto ay ipinagdiriwang ang Buwan ng Wika o Buwan ng wikang pambansa. Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik, ito ang tema ngayong 2018 na ang ibig sabihin nito ay ang Wikang Filipino ay mainam na instrumento sa isang mahusay na pagsasaliksik. Ano nga ba ang saliksik? Paano nga ba makakatulong ang pananaliksik ang wikang Filipino? Sa anong paraan nito maipapakita ang damdaming makabayan ng Pilipino? Wikang Filipino nga ba ang magiging daan upang umunlad ang ating bansa?

        Ang saliksik o research sa Ingles ay isa sa pinakamahalagang elemento sa pagpapaunlad ng kaalaman. Ito ay ang proseso ng pangangalap ng mga totoong impormasyon na humahantong sa kaalaman. Isinasagawa ito sa pamamagitan ng paggamit ng kung ano ang nalalaman o napag-alaman na. Ginagamit ang saliksik sa maraming bagay kagaya na lamang ng paggawa ng thesis at iba pang pag aaralan na kaugnay sa edukasyon. Ang wikang Filipino ay isang mabisang sangkap lalo na kung ito'y lubos na pinapairal sa iba't ibang larangan. Maipapakita ang damdaming makabayan ng Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng pagbabahagi ng kaalaman sa mundo ay nagkakaroon ng pagkilala sa sarili at maipagmamalaki kung kaya nabubuhay ang damdaming makabayan. Minsan nga mas pinipili natin yung wikang Ingles kaysa sa ating sariling wika, Filipino. Kumbaga ang wikang ingles na ay kinikilalang wikang pandaigdig. Isipin natin na may kahalagahan ang wika sa ating buhay. Kung wala tayong wika paano na tayo makikipag-ugnayan sa ibang tao? Paano na natin mailalahad yung saloobin sa isa't isa? Hindi niyo ba naiisip na mahirap makipagtransaksiyon o makipag-ugnayan sa ibang tao. Kung wala tayong wika maaaring maging bunga ito ng kawalan ng komunikasyon sa pagitan ng mga tao. Ang wika ay maaaring magsulong sa pagbabago at pag-unlad sa ating bansa.

           Kailangan nating pagyamanin pa ang wikang ito. Dahil ito ang magiging susi sa pag-unlad ng ating bansang Pilipinas. Mas tangkilikin at gamitin natin ang ating sariling wika. Sabi nga ni Dr Jose Rizal " Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa malansang isda".

Drug War 'far from over'

          Monday, July 23,2018, the day when President Rodrigo Roa Duterte delivered his third State of the Nation Address. In it, he presented his achievements and outlined his priorities for this fiscal year. The President's speech didn't present the previous year's achievements but he focuses on the present and future plans. In his speech he mentioned about certain issues some of this are War on Drugs, Corruption, Contractualization, Healthcare, Bangsamoro Organic Law and Train Law.

          In his speech he mentioned first about his war on illegal drugs and corruption and he opened his speech like this " About two years ago, I solemnly took my oath as a worker of the national government. I was inspired to institute real changes for the greater good of the Filipino people."He also said that the war from illegal drugs is far from over and will not be sidelined instead, it will be as relentless and chilling. Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte says he will not be stopping the war on drugs that has resulted in thousands of extrajudicial killings, saying while his critics, " Your concern is human rights, mine is human lives." This means that he chooses human lives than human rights because he wanted to change the behavior of the citizens which they are used to do which contradicts with the laws. Speaking for his annual State of the Union address at a joint session of congress, President Duterte reaffirmed his resolve to fight illegal drugs as he had during his first two years in power. President Duterte said human rights advocates should speak out against drug dealers as much as they attack him. Philippine President Duterte promised a savage drug war, the capstone of the campaign that made him the head of the government. With the year now under his belt, indeed change has come but not the kinds of changes he expected. Duterte has savaged human rights work, attacking right activists, saying drug addicts are not human so they have no rights. 

          Based on what I heard about the State of the Nation Address (SONA) of our president our country will progress because of the programs that he propose such as drug and criminal campaigns. The drug campaign is still more effective in reducing corruption in our country. These programs that he implements are a good help in our country's progress.

Ugaliing Magtanim Sapat Na Nutrisiyon Aanihin

          What should be done so that adequate nutrition can be achieved? Why do we still need to plant if you can even buy in the markets? Where does right and adequate nutrition comes that our body needs?

          Proper nutrition is a vital element in our daily lives because it will give us strength and energy to do our work such as doing household chores, and many more. Growing your own fruits and vegetables can offer you the opportunity to reduce the amount of pesticides that you use in your garden, making them healthier. It will also save your money from buying at the grocery stores. Gardening can gives us the opportunity to give back. This can be a great time to create memories with your family or friends, that can last a lifetime. So these nutrition comes from every meal we eat. The very important source of vitamins and minerals we need daily is from vegetables and fruits. But not all of this are nutritious just those non-organic plants. It is bad for the body to eat non-organic vegetables and fruits because these contains many elements that is not good to our health. No matter where you live you can plant any kinds of vegetables and fruits if you have a vacant lot. There are also many alternatives if there is no vacant lot just like planting in plastic bottles or vases. Eating healthy foods can make us stronger and live longer. But each of us is guilty of eating unhealthy foods. Starting now we should learn to control and choose wisely those foods we intake for our own sake. We can also protect ourselves from getting diseases by simply eating right foods and you should avoid eating junk foods.

          We have to remember that we need to plant so that we can harvest it at the right time and we can achieve adequate nutrition. Nowadays it is no longer difficult to plant, so its just up to you on how you do it. So plant more for the sake of all people and you.

RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE
President - Republic of the Philippines
Malacañang Palace, MANILA

Dear Mr. President,

         

Good day Mr. President, I am writing this letter to protest about the K-12 curriculum that had been approved last 2013 in the Philippines and started the first batch of Senior High School last 2016.

I truly think that this is a bad idea. For as I see that the very first batch who graduated from senior high school and the present senior high students are facing into a very complicated situation. I think that the first batch who graduated were called as "experimental batch" because in the beginning during the orientation of K-12 curriculum they said that "GAS" (General Academic Strand) is for those who are still undecided on what course they will be taking in colleges from the word general they said that if you chose it as your strand you'll be able to take any course that you want. But then now many senior high graduates are complaining especially those who chose GAS as their strand, many of them has been crying because some universities are not allowing them to enroll to their dream course or job specially the medical field because they are saying that medical field is only preferably to STEM students. I am against this because many dreams can be shattered. And maybe the problem of this students or their parents is that because of lack of money.

Please do something about this. Let's make the student dreams come true.

Sincerely yours,

MARINEL R. ABUY

Reminiscing Our Beloved Heroes Who Fight For Freedom

      

         Independence Day also known as Araw ng Kalayaan or " Day of Freedom " is an annual national holiday in the Philippines observed on June 12 commemorating the Independence of the Philippines from Spain. So why do we celebrate Independence Day?

                                                                                        June 12, 1898 this is the day that we celebrate Independence Day. We, Filipinos celebrate it annually on June 12. This is one of the most significant dates in the Philippine history. Independence Day is a great day for us. We celebrate Independence Day to show our enduring love for the day when we gained freedom. It is also the way of showing or expressing devotion to and vigorous support to our country. This day reminds us of the sacrifices of our heroes or fighters. We got freedom because of our unified strength. This is the day when many people including government officials, employees, and students participate in parades. This was declared as a national holiday and all schools and offices were closed. We celebrated it with excitement. Students also make flags and hung them everywhere. Students and teachers in schools also sung the National Anthem with respect to the song and to the National Flag. What if they (the heroes) didn't gained freedom? What will happen to our country? Without our beloved heroes there was no peace today. Without them maybe we are already suffering.

          As a student, we should respect and let us not forget all of the sacrifices of our heroes or fighters because they are the one who fight for freedom. We should join our hands for our economic development and strive hard to make this great country more productive.
