Philippine Beam

    

      Philippines is one of the Disaster Prone Country because it is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire where there are most active volcanoes. Anyone born and raised in the Philippines knows that every year more than twenty typhoons hit our land. Worst storms come every year and will ruin anything that we have and we Filipinos live a cycle that after we have been devastated we stand up and rebuild again. Floods and landslides devastate our homes and what we do is to accept the truth, rebuild again and we find ways on how to survive, we always think of a reason to continue living.

     

     Philippines also experience the shaking of the ground. Many buildings, homes and roads are destroyed because of earthquake but even if we lose our loved ones, we Filipinos thrive and understand sorrow. We try our best to reconstruct and we always look forward on what's next.

     

     I have also witness the bravery, hard work, optimism and faith of every Filipinos that after a disaster we can see in their faces a smile. Smile that symbolizes hope. In every Filipino children you can see a genuine smile painted on their faces being contented on what they have. No toys to play with because of the disasters that ruin them. Filipinos are also optimistic. They always posses a positive look and think of a happy future.

     

     One proof of Filipino resilience, when supertyphoon Haiyan has it's landfall on Mindanao. Many lives have been taken, devastate houses and buildings, families that have been separate because of landslides and flash floods. But in the end we saw hopes on their faces. Believing that after a rain comes a rainbow. But as a responsible citizen, we should do our parts to lessen the damage of these calamities. The government should not only the one to make a move. The Bottom Up Approach where everyone will participate in planning for disaster preparedness.

    

     We can have resilience, we can keep the faith, but we need you to act and be accountable.

INTERNET

The lessons of ICT 10 that we have discussed are very useful. We have learned the history of Internet. In here, we have known the persons behind the web. The evolution of the internet was very interesting. In the first quarter we also learned about the definition of internet, its components, different tools and services. The URL which is our reference to a web source. The making of blog that has been my favorite lesson. By making your own blog, it enhances your writing skills and you may share this with anyone just by posting it. The search engines that have also been discussed to us. The terms that we have used in searching something, can show you lesser answers that you can easily find the answers that you want.

In our ICT 10, I have also faced challenges. In the making of blogs, I have difficulty in making an article because I have to think of a good essay to catch others view and read my blogs. But in the end I have successfully shared my thoughts and opinions in every article that I have made. In our scavenger hunt, another challenge that I have experienced is the using of search engines. I have to research again because the results are many and sometimes I don't know what to choose. But I checked again if the terms I used was right.

Moving on, I will share the knowledge I have learned to other people so that they may also learn something about the internet. I can also apply the knowledge I have in my everyday life especially in doing my homework and project. Nowadays, internet is widely used all over the world and by learning ICT 10 ; I gained more knowledge about it. But before you post something in the net, "Think before you click."

Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik

     

      Pinagtibay ng Kalupunan ng mga Komisyoner ng KWF ang Kapasiyahan Blg. 18-24 na nagpapahayag na ang tema ng Buwan ng Wika para sa taong 2018 ay "Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik."

        "Ang temang ito ay kumikilala sa wikang Filipino bilang midyum sa pagpapalaganap ng pambansang karunungan at kaunlaran. Layon ng KWF na palaganapin ang wikang Filipino sa iba't ibang larangan ng karunungan, lalo na sa agham at matematika"  - Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino.

      Ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ay may layuning iimplementa ang Proklamasyon Blg. 1041, s 1997. na nagpapahayag ng taunang BUWAN NG WIKANG PAMBANSA tuwing Agosto 1-31, ang pagdiriwang ay pangungunahan ng Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino (KWF). Na kung saan isinusulong nito ang paggamit ng Wikang Filipino sapagkat kailangan tayong mamamayan ay bihasa sa paggamit nito. 

     Isa pang layunin nito ay ang pag-enganyo sa mga ahensiya ng gobyerno na at pribadong sector na makilahok sa mga iba't ibang programa na nagsusulong na maipalaganap ang wikang Filipino at kaalaman tungkol sa mga Filipino. Ang mga ahensiya ng gobyerno ay kailangang ding isulong ang ating wika, sapagkat sila ang mga unang magpapalaganp nito. Ang maging inspiration sa mga Pilipino na pahalagahan ang sariling wika sa pamamagitan ng pakikilahok sa mga aktibidad na may kaugnayan sa wika. Dahil tayong mga Pilipino ang dapat ding unang gumamit at magmahal sa ating wika. 

     Ang pananaliksik ay sistematikong pagsusuri o pagsisiyasat ng isang paksa, pangyayari, at iba pa at ang wikang Filipino ay napakahalaga sa pananaliksik. Maraming mga mananaliksik ang gumagamit ng wikang Filipino sapagkat nais nilang maiparating sa iba ang kultura ng mga Pilipino. Pakatandaan natin na dapat makilahok sa mga gawain ng Buwan ng Wika at iparating din sa iba ang kahalagahan ng wika natin. Sabi nga ni Doktor Jose Rizal, "Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay mas masahol pa sa amoy ng malansang isda."

Promised Alteration

         State of the Nation Address 2018 broke the tradition of highlighting the previous year accomplishments but instead the iron-fist leader addressed as a "Father of Filipinos" and focused on desire for genuine and meaningful change for the people.

     
      His SONA is a very witty one for me. He had discussed the issues we are facing right now. His war on drugs that has been relentless and chilling. And he said that illegal drugs wasted away lives, dysfunctionalized families and ruined relationships. And I agree with him. Illegal drugs are the main cause of crimes in our country. Innocents that have been injured with the operations and lives that has been taken because of the war on drugs. Corruption is also an issue in our country. Because of politicians that wanted more wealth, they tend to get money in what we call the "Kaban ng Bayan" and President Duterte stated that corruption must stop for the betterment of our nation. 

   
     War is not an option. Yes, war is not an option, we should live a simple but happy life free from wars. President Duterte have seen the horror, devastation, and horror toll. He wanted to make peace for our country and prove that it's more fun in the Phippines. Amidst that he is our president, I am also impressed that he recognized our brave soldiers and police who died fighting for our country to have peace. His admiration towards our Filipino migrant workers for their selflessness and courage in enduring hardships being away to their families had my heart soft because my father is an Overseas Filipino Worker. For our dear workers, President Duterte fight against endo. No contractualization, regular job for all. He also expressed his love for the environment because he wants to restore our environmental integrity and also he also wants to have a Department of Disaster Management for us Filipinos to be aware about calamities.  

   
     All in all, i admire our President Duterte because he had stated all the issues and he tries to find ways on how to solve them. And I wish that we Filipinos would follow the rules our government would implement and be a responsible citizen. The Father of Filipinos is doing what he thinks will be for the betterment of our country. For we worry about the present and he worry about our future.

Gardening is Not Just a Hobby, It is a Way of Life

   Have you ever asked yourself if the nutrition you get is enough for your everyday life? Are the foods you eat have the proper nutrients needed by your body? And have you ever think of the sacrifices of our beloved farmers to plant fruits and vegetables for us to eat but sometimes we just leave them in our plate? That in every grain is equivalent to a farmers' sacrifice?

     

     Nutrition is a very important factor for our body because it gives us the strength to do our daily routine. And this nutrient came from fruits and vegetables. Most of us just buy them on the market. Maybe some of the fruits and vegetables we buy is not fresh anymore and the nutrients it contain are not enough for us. So, how can we have proper nutrition in our own ways?

     Planting and harvesting are the main job of farmers. They are always under the heat of the sun, plowing the field and they don't mind the pain of farming because they want us to have enough food supply. But now, farmers are decreasing. So as a responsible citizen, you should do our part to help ourselves and also others. Just by simply planting in our backyard is a big help. Planting like tomato, lady finger, eggplants and many other vegetables. All of us should do this for us to harvest our own foods. As the theme says, "Ugaliing Magtanim, Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin", we are encouraged to practice planting. In planting, your body can be physically fit and also having a garden of your own can help you not to go to far away markets to buy vegetables. Planting would also be fun if you plant with your family. Family gardening can be a way of for your family to be close.

     Together with your father, mother and siblings, let's spread the awareness of family gardening. In the community, share your knowledge about farming and let's to this as a practice. Our farmers would say, "farming is not just a hobby... It is a way of life". Well, Home gardening is more than just a hobby - it is a lifestyle- it is an ideal worth preserving.
