A Cleaner Earth Means A Brighter Future

    Mother Earth and Father Earth, how far they've become. Daughters and sons of Adam and Eve, where have you gone? betraying your own motherland will never entitle you to a hero as you return. Cruel beings, being ruthless is not how my mother taught me to be; rather, to show a hint of vulnerability. "Trash, trash, trash," yet no one picks it up. "Somebody else will help" Little did they know that they were that 'somebody' they were talking about. "Forgive them", but you have also sinned! Reduce garbage, Refuse to contribute to the worsening of our world, Reuse materials, Repurpose for a new beginning, and Recycle for a second chance.

Our nature doesn't need humans, rather, humans need nature.



Mother Earth has always been there for us, yet the payment she receives does not comply with the actions and care she has given. 



Time is getting old, and we are the youngest we're going to be at the moment; That said, why not stop by and show respect for the gift God has given to us?



A simple gesture can create a massive impact, and help nature just how we want to be helped.

A Successful Travel of Learning


     As the year progresses, quarters of school time also pass by. It wasn't always easy to try and learn something new, but knowing that it adds to our knowledge can be thrilling. Only a quarter has passed, yet it is already a fun journey. Learning various things is included in school, so I learned several things this 1st quarter in the subject I.C.T.; internet timeline, pioneers, internet tools and services, data types, blogging and its types, the world wide web, search engines, internet access, and last but not least, how to create my very own blog. The topic that I was really invested in was creating a blog because I can be honest and pour my emotions, and how I feel in making articles, and reflections, similar to what the reader is reading at the moment. 



    Despite having fun and enjoying, I also came across challenges. Firstly, the images of the blogger keep on having issues when it comes to inserting and loading, making it very distracting when creating a blog. The last problem I encountered was reviewing the timeline of the internet, it was really frustrating since there were countless on them, starting from 1956 to the 2000s. Now that I look back at my past struggles, I can't help but feel a small smile tug on my lips. Learning wasn't always easy for students like me, and I learned that I just needed time to understand these concepts.




    Moving on, I will carry the knowledge I learned and apply it when challenges and tasks come. Moreover, I will never take advantage of what I know and will always use them to help others who have trouble understanding lessons and topics. As I mentioned before, creating your own blog can be really fun, since you can express your thoughts, and others may also read your blog and comment if they want to.

The Second Parent's Strength

    As we celebrate National Teachers Month 2024 with the theme “Together4Teachers,” it’s the perfect time to reflect on the incredible impact teachers have on our lives. From September 5 to October 5, we honor the dedication and hard work of educators who shape the future of our nation.

    Teachers are more than just instructors; they are mentors, guides, and role models. They inspire curiosity, foster critical thinking, and nurture the potential within each student. The theme “Together4Teachers” reminds us that supporting and uplifting our educators is a collective effort. Their success is deeply connected to the success of our students and our nation. In today’s fast-paced world, teachers continuously adapt and innovate to meet the changing needs of their students. Their resilience and creativity in embracing new technologies and methodologies are truly inspiring. This celebration is also a call to action for all of us to show our appreciation and support for teachers. Simple gestures of gratitude, advocating for better resources, and participating in community initiatives can all contribute to a culture that values and respects the teaching profession.

Empowering the Pearl of the Orient to Thrive


    
  


    The Philippine Islands, lies within the Pacific Ring of Fire, resulting the susceptibility of the country to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and typhoons. The scattered Islands of the country pose the rising sea levels as well as its extreme weather events, threats from storm and shifting rainfall patterns exacerbate vulnerability. Moreover, the rising problems in the field of poverty, inequality, and inadequate infrastructure hinder resilience. Coastal communities grapple with threats from storm surges and salt water intrusion. These several causes are showing how truly vulnerable the Philippines is, and how these problems prevent the country from being more resilient.


In terms of the Disaster Risk Reductions, community-based DRR empowers locals to prepare and respond effectively. The livelihood diversification reduces dependence on climate-sensitive sectors, strengthening social protection programs help vulnerable populations cope during crisis. In Ecosystem-based approaches, such as mangrove restoration and forest conservation, protect against natural hazards. Having sustainable agricultural practices also enhances resilience. With the said responses with regards to the causes, these are responses that have the ability to help the resilience of the Philippines to grow stronger.


    Despite well-crafted policies and frameworks, translating them into action remains a challenge. In terms of the fund constraints, innovative financing mechanisms are needed to bridge the gap. Allocating resources for resilience building competes with other national priorities. The behavioral change of people raise awareness and behavioral shifts towards disaster preparedness require sustainable efforts. All the challenges faced by the country of Philippines serve an important lesson to everyone; Each one of them strengthening the virtue. With these, we can create and enhance the country to be more resilient.

Reminiscing Words For A Ruler

 

Del Pinado, Avril Marchae B.

Pagpandayan, Barangay VI

Ilocos Sur, Vigan City 

August 22, 2024


Dear President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos,

I wish for you to find this letter in a good state, I would like to express my gratitude, and to commend you positive achievements, as well as to address a few areas of concern.


To start of, your actions against sugar importation and hoarders demonstrate dedication to our agriculture. Moreover, the reduction in crime rates and the approach to the “War on Drugs” are positive signs. As well as your approval of the Vape Regulation Bill and voluntary use of face masks in outdoor settings on some places demonstrate flexibility in public health policies. As the son a dictator, you carry the weight of your family’s controversial past. Acknowledging this history and addressing it transparently will be essential for building trust. As a fellow Filipino, I’m very grateful for your service. However, the economic challenges facing the country demand careful management. The country is slowly going in debt and has rising costs, balancing development with fiscal responsibility will be critical.

A Mirror Reflecting My Identity


A usual atmosphere felt by individuals even loners, people who see themselves in everyone else. Someone who identifies as no one, an unusual feeling of a young daughter. The last offspring of the family is what they call me. Obedient, respectful, smart, and so on and so forth is expected; An academic achiever, the dream child, but not golden. Try your best to not disappoint, do your job as the youngest, and make everyone proud. A simple child, a student, a sibling, a daughter, and a friend – Someone who can be counted on, can also be the one who counts their mistakes.


A free soul living in a world full of mysteries, dangers, and promises. A gentle soul who’s trying to find itself, a soul who’s not afraid to be judged on what others may think of their opinions. Self-control is crucial, especially in having trust in your ability to control your life and have self-confidence, and maintaining this so-called “confidence” may be a tough ability to acquire. The need to have self-respect in particular and professionals suggests that confidence is important to health and psychological well-being. I’m a confused and curious soul who finds difficulty in expressing who I want to be, a judgemental world outside of the small box I live in is waiting for me – The future is waiting for me.


    Frustrations and struggles can be met; I, the youngest daughter of the Del Pinado family, is the only one who finds difficulty in cleaning a dirty mirror and seeing the real reflection of who I want to be, on what I want to pursue. The majority of what I feel is fear for what’s yet to come, trying to grasp and embrace reality is a hard task, especially for youngsters like me. It takes bravery and courage to be able to be ready for battle when it comes to the future, and I am currently shining my armor, and sharpening my swords. Having my personal feelings involved, getting a degree in Architecture and a Doctorate degree would be a very tough time when I reach that level in life; Nonetheless, none of these negative stuffs will be able to pull me down into believing that I am the one who has a hold of my future, and the one who has to shape it in between rests. The friends on the way to the desired place may be the real treasure we must keep
