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.
