Change Starts with you

All of us wants to become a very successful human being in this Earth. But how can we achieve this if our home is slowly destroying? If people by itself want us to discipline ourselves to become a better person, Then why people can't start the changes within their selves? Don't wait the others to change for the better. Awareness to our nature starts within you, with the help of facilities, being a good hearted then we can realize how much pain we gave to our nature. Who will suffer if the nature is destroyed isn't us?, not only people but also the animals, The trees which is exhaling oxygen for us to breathe. Our hands now is touching a rough leaves, waves of the sea floating plastics and oil, the number of trashes in our planet is now more than to our population. Those air that needs high technology to see because of its cleanliness now we are seeing it visible because of its color black destroying the planet. The problem is not pollution, why? Because where does this came from? Isn't from us? The problem is not climate change, because if we know how to prevent it or to protect ourselves it will not be very dangerous. The problem is not disasters, because if we are educated from those disasters we know what to do and it will not cause a severe damage to us. The problem is us, we are the ones who are making those thing for our own happiness and wants but we didn't mind about what will be the future of it. And we are now suffering from those doings which is not good and not appropriate for the nature. Lessen those trashes, clean those corals undrr the see, plant trees, protect it and love it so that in the future the nature will love you back.

Children's Month

Despite the progress that has been made in recent years, the situation faced by the children of our world is still desperate.  The most fundamental rights of minors are violated in most parts of the world, and even in the most economically developed countries not all children benefit from the same rights.

Poverty remains the principal cause of the violation of the Rights of the Child because lack of funds seriously impedes access to their basic human needs: healthcare, water, food and education.  In the countries which are least affected by poverty, children generally have the chance to enjoy these rights, although many are still victims of violence, abuse or discrimination.

By this program or event, our children now is having their freedom and confidence to face their fear. Enjoying and giving them a day to feel to them that they are very special to us.

The love, starts With YOU

One that is perhaps the simplest to hear but difficult to answer,

the question "why does family need to be strengthened?" From the beginning we have been aware of the role that our families play in society as its central unit. Each of us has the same roots and the same pathways in life - from childhood to adulthood before becoming "independent" citizens of our society. The Filipino family is established: the key to shaping a young, human, environmental and national youth. Why is youth so important when we're talking about family? All the stories about the Filipino family are new to our ears. 

Today we are faced with a very important part of the family, the youth. To our knowledge, the family is the smallest unit of society. Here begins everything that each of us learns. It is here in the family that our divinity is formed; here in the family our humanity is molded; here in the family our well-being is molded; and here in the family our nationality is shaped. If the only possible source of all of this and the associated knowledge about it are unstable and fragile, how can our youth be shaped into a godly, human, naturalistic and nationalist world?

VIVA! VIGAN!

"To preserve the heritage of the city, the city government established an event where all of its residents called Biguenos to come out of their ancestral or modern-age houses to join other residents of Ilocos Sur to once more relish the Ilocano culture and the history of Vigan through songs, dances, stage plays, literature, street drama complete with floats," said Mayor Juan Carlo Medina.

For this year’s celebration of World Heritage Solidarity Cultural Festival, the Vigan City's celebration of the solidarity of World Heritage Sites enlisted by UNESCO is very different from the recent celebration. Going back to the vintage times where the people and the community, the word "culture" is very meaningful to them. I am so glad that the Vigan City is having the Solidarity Cultural Festival to show to the people, to bring back the beautiful life before and how Vigan became one of the Seven Wonder Cities of the World. The Highlights of this event are the competitions which is held at the Vigan Convention Center which makes the celebration more festive.

Pilipinas, Perlas ng Silanganan

Andito ako ngayon upang hikayatin kayo
Na muling buksan ang inyong mga mata at pagmasdan kung paano tayo natuto
Na muling balikan ang nakaraan kung paano nabuo ang pagkatao mo
Kung saan tayo nagmula at kung bakit tayo nandito.

Namangha sa kagandahang binubuo ng libo- libong pulo
Hitik sa yamang hiyas at makikintab na ginto
Iba't ibang tradisyon, kultura, wika at diyalekto
Taglay ng mga katutubong hinati hati at grinupo- grupo.

Hiligaynon, Bicolano, Tagalog at Iloko
Ilan sa mga bumubuo ng wikang Filipino
Wikang nabuo mula pa sa mga pangkat etniko
At ito ang mga wikang katutubo na dapat pahalagahan at hindi ang mga "Oppa, Saranghaeyo!"

Wala namang masama sa mga wikang banyaga
Ngunit bakit parang tayo pa ang tumutulak sa ating sarili upang kalimutan ang sariling wika?
Masaya ka ba? Na ang sarili mong wika'y itinataboy mo na?
At ang katotohanang ikaw ay dugong Pilipino, ito narin ay iyong ikinakahiya.

Isipin ninyo na ako ang Wikang Filipino
At nais ko kayong batiin ng magandang araw sa inyo mahal kong katutubo
Ngayon, may pagkakataon na akong makapagsalita sa harap ninyo
At maraming katanungan ang bumabalot sa isipan ko.

Sa panahon ngayon hindi ko na alam kung sino pa ba ang nakakakilala sa akin o hindi
Dahil hindi ko na alam kung sino ang nagbago o nanatili
Hindi ko na alam kung paano kita makukumbinsi
Na bumalik sa akin at ako'y yakaping muli.

Mahal kong katutubo, bakit mo ito ginagawa sa akin?
Mahirap ba akong mahalin?
Maharil ay hindi mo nakikita ang halaga ko dahil sa iba ka nakatingin
Nakatingin sa bago at uso parang mundo kung ito'y iyong tratuhin

Hindi mo na ba naaalala?
Baybayin at ABaKaDa?
Na sa inyo ay aking ipinamana
Mula pa sa ninuno pa ng iyong ina't ama.

Hindi lang ang isang daan at talumpong wika ang nanganganib pati narin ang ating bansa
Isipin mo naman ako dahil mahal kong katutubo kailangan kita
Kailangan nating tanggalin ang harang na pumapagitan sa ating dalawa
Upang magtapo muli at iligtas ang naaagnas na kultura.

Wikang Filipino sadyang kailangan sa lahat ng pagkakataon
Nagiging mas mabilis ang daan para sa komunikasyon
Nagsisilbing daan din upang dumami ang nga ideya't opinyon
Pinagkakaisa rin ang makasaysayang kultura't tradisyon.

Wala ng ibang magmamahal sa ating sariling wika kundi tayo
Kaya nararapat lamang na payabungin natin ito
Dahil ito ang nagsisilbing tanging yaman ng sambayanang Pilipino
Ang Wikang Filipino. Wika mo. Wika ko.

Kailangang aralin ang sariling wika upang tayong lahat ay magkakaunawaan
Magkakaintindihan ang buong sambayanan
Magkakaisa lahat ng mamamayan
Tungo sa iisang bansa? Pilipinas perlas ng silanganan.

REFLECTION

During the first quarter, there are many learnings that I have discovered. Making a blog, knowledge about websites and internet.I had fun and enjoyed the discoveries but I also faced some challenges like editing my blog because I want to make it nice and very systematic. Practice makes perfect and we need to be diligent, work hard so that your work will be successful.

NATIONAL DISASTER RESILIENCE MONTH

This event calls for action among nation agencies and local government units to implement disaster resilience campaign towards increasing public awareness on the importance of disaster risk reduction and management. 

The National Disaster Resilience Month, this order aims to further strengthen every individual’s capability to be disaster resilient.

    This month, our government declared this program for us to be prepared. This is very important to lessen the impact of disasters on vulnerable populations, to ready an organization for an influx of activity and many more. Applying some steps in preparing for disasters are very helpful. You may sign up for severe weather alerts in your place, emergency numbers and hotlines to your phone and plan for the betterment and improvement for everyone. By this actions, we can also prevent fear, anxiety and losses that accompany disasters. Because when you are ready, you are confident.

PUSH NATIN 'TO

The humanity is facing a lot of problems about health and growth which may cause us to death and most of the time, financial problem. To lessen this issue, we need to educate and encourage the food industries, producers,distributors and consumers to make and eat healthy food which is beneficial to all. Not because you're eating a healthy food it doesn't mean that you're healthy already, it takes a lot of time and effort to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Do some certain activities that can help you to build up your body and strengthen your immune system. Enough warm up and exercise. Avoid junk foods and softdrinks which is unnecessary to eat. 8 hours of sleep, 10 glasses of water everyday and follow the guide, "10 Kumainments". By this steps, you can be active and encourage also people to be healthy. Be a productive person and influence others to be just like you. “Kumain ng wasto at maging Aktibo… Push natin ‘to!”

DRILL

      It refers to the readiness, on the governmental, social and personal levels to effectively face the disaster that has already visited and includes practical disater-layouts.

A great shaking or trembling of the Earth’s crust that mainly causes a massive damage, a force that divides a thing or a place into a several portions and lastly, a great impact that will either submerge on area.

We can’t prevent earthquake but we can do some actions to be prepared. One of this is the earthquake drill activity. Proper execution of school drills will help prevent panic, which might lead to accidents when everyone is overwhelmed with fear during a strong earthquake. By this, our teachers, students and humanity will become more aware for the incoming earthquake which might affect us in our everyday life and status.

MR. PRESIDENT

   

Dear President,

              Mr. President, I will be honest in saying this, Rodrigo Duterte is both good and bad leader of the Filipino people. You are definitely better than the previous Philippine presidents in the matter of leading our nation very well.

   I wish and pray that you would have the power and humility to realize what needs improvement and transformation in the ways the country is being governed
today peace and progress, and the betterment of the entire Filipino nation.

Hope you will get to read this letter, words and heart; and that my noble intentions would somehow merit your kind consideration and understanding.

Thank you and may God bless the Philippines under your leadership.

                       Sincerely yours,

                    Ahron Andrei de Leon

BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS

The battlefield filled with a brutal and severe situation, murderous actions just to fight for our freedom and nation.

On the 12^th day of June, we’re celebrating and appreciating our national holiday, the Independence Day. We Filipinos, are very proud and full of happiness when we gained this victory that we are looking for. The Independence Day, we must realize and analyze the efforts and sacrifices of our ancestors and our national heroes for their bravery and strength as they acted like a mythical glorious warrior just for our future and to the next generation.

LION DANCER

           George Bernard Shaw once said "Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself". Life never waits and gives second chances so what you have now is to enjoy it, feel it and love it.

 My name is Ahron Andrei Lucero de Leon and and I live in Anonang Mayor, Caoayan Ilocos Sur. A 4th year high school Special Science Class student at the Ilocos Sur National High School. Well, I'm the person you never thought that you and I can be friends maybe because we're not that close yet or we still don't know each others personality but most of my friends are always asking for advice and always talking to me whenever they're facing problems. I always make them comfortable and giving temporary happiness, and that's I am. Aside from being a teacher to my friends, I am also a dancer/choreographer of my school's dance troupe, the Sanggalaw Dance Troupe. I started to dance when I was 7 years old and it's been 7 years from now, I dance in different genres like folkdance, HipHop, Contemporary dance, Festivals and Dancesports Latin. As a Special Science Class student, it's very hard to manage my time in studying and dance training, I also have my family, friends, myself and God to set aside a time for them. But I know that wherever or whatever you're struggling right now, don't find yourself to sacrifice others, you need to learn all the things and be creative. Create your life, your own path and your own happiness. 

With God nothing is impossible.
