               As we approach the end of our junior high school life, I have cherished every moment whether face-to-face classes or modular learning. In ICT 10, 4 th quarter was a blast, I learned a lot and made new memories that I will forever keep. I am truly happy to experience one last face-to-face classes even though its limited and it is just one quarter. Moreover, with all the knowledge I gained during the 4 th quarter, I will surely use it in good use and will forever appreciate the sacrifices that were made just for us to enjoy and feel comfortable at school.             As one of the students who had their chance in joining face-to-face classes, our subject focuses on MS FrontPage, and we were given a chance to elaborate more of our community-based research. I have gained so much knowledge about MS FrontPage and how does it work. For the problems, I haven’t encountered a pro...

  Environmental issues are now rampant in our world today. Environmental problem are being experienced nowadays. Pollution, Global Warming, and many more, has a bad effect to our lives. Solutions have been made to end environmental problems, one of those are teaching proper waste management. Proper waste management is where you properly segregate your trash or waste, by using the 5R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Restore and Repair) this system aims to lessen the waste that a human can commit a day, and to utilize the waste that is being disposed every day. It is a very complex strategy that everyone can adopt and should adopt.             “We’ve been trying to warn you guys for so many decades that we’re heading towards a catastrophe, and we’ve been being ignored,” This is what a NASA scientist says about our environment, Peter Kalmus a scientist, he was interviewed during the scientist protest in order to save our nature from d...

  Father’s day, a wondrous day to celebrate and have fun with my family. We also celebrate and thank all the sacrifices our father made for us to be here in this world. The entirety of our life, the love and warmth of fathers is the best thing we can see and feel from them, and this day we take the time to celebrate and extend our gratitude to our fathers. They are the backbone or foundation of who we are today. They have helped us grow and be mature, teach us life lessons, and making sure that we live in a comfortable life.             The first father’s day was celebrated on June 19, 1910 in the state of Washington in the Unites States. However father’s day wasn’t really much of a big deal during that time. On July 5, 1908 a West Virginia church sponsored the nation’s first event to honor the day. Not until next year, in Spokane, Washington a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, a child raised by a single father. She tried to est...

                                     July 4, 1946, our beloved Philippines has gained the independence we wished for so long. We fought many battles alongside with our allies who supported us up until this day. To declare Independence from the colonizers who have fought with us or made us on our knees because of the ruthless schemes they have poured unto us. Our Filipino compatriots made so many sacrifices, and must have been proud to see the Philippine flag being raised during the proclamation and inauguration of the Independence of our country. The road to the independence of our country is lengthy and treacherous. As a Filipino, we remain steadfast for the events that shocked our devotion for our country. June 12, we try to remember all the events that shattered the Filipino morale that led to the proclamation of our independence. 1565, we have been colonized by the Spaniards up until 189...

                 Every year we celebrate “Mother’s Day” in the second Sunday of May we honor this day to our mothers who raised us, carry us, and supported us up until this date. Motherhood means the state of being a mother. Being a mother probably is one of the hardest jobs in the world, in fact mothers deserve the highest salary for their hard work and sacrifices they have poured in us. You cannot deny the love and joy they have given us all trough out our life. We have different ways in celebrating mother’s day. We celebrate mother’s day by our tradition, but different countries have different traditions, and therefore mother’s day is celebrated differently per country.                            The Second Sunday of May is the original date that the United Nations proclaimed as Mother’s Day. Countries such as the United States of Am...

               “Actually God made us to share and have differences. The difference is that men think that the faster way to go to a point is to go straight, and women know that the faster way to go to a point is to go through the curves and fixing every curl.” This statement was the winning answer of Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza during the 2008 Miss Universe competition. She was asked the question “Do you believe men or women have it easier in life” and answered it with grace and confidence. This month we celebrate the national women’s month. This month we talk about empowered women and how they empower and inspire others. Over the decade, we saw phenomenal women graced in their own field of interest. Many women made history in sports, politics, academics, and many more. Some of the notable women’s are Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, Angela Merkel of Germany, Kamala Harris of the United States of America, and our very own Pia Wurtzbach, Cat...
