Save the Future

 

Are you already aware on what is happening now in our environment? If not, wake up, for the world has many changes at all compared to the beginning. Our surroundings have become dirtier. And even our climate would change same as today. Nowadays, climate change is one of the major problems of human beings. It is already happening and represents one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing the planet.

Sometimes, we are not aware of this kind of problem. Some people wouldn’t care about it. They did not know that climate change can also cause into death. Through increase in temperature, people will suffer from different diseases such as on skin and it can also cause dehydration. The cases of hypertension and heart attack will increase also. It can affect every person including our health. This climate change is either the revenge or warning of nature because of our wrong doings to it. This may stop if we people would have a discipline that can manage the nature wisely.

Learning how to take care of the environment will decrease the rate of having a climate change. So, why don’t people think about it? It can help us a lot. So that the living in this world will last long.

National Reading Month Celebration

Outpouring Our Hearts and Minds through Literacy and English Proficiency

            Today, one of the most important subjects for students is about learning English, such as how to write, read and speak English language. We are learning it because it has an important value in our country. We learn English to make our country a better one. Some of trade and businesses have progressed because we can communicate to other countries to supply our needs here in our country by selling their different products of their country. In Literature, English also has a great contribution in it. We can’t read their Literature if we don’t even know how to understand it. That’s why learning English is very important.

          English is the dominant business language and it has become almost a necessity for people to speak English if they are to enter a global workforce, research from all over the world shows that cross-border business communication is most often conducted in English. Its importance in the global market place therefore cannot be understated, learning English really can change your life. Although learning English can be challenging and time consuming, we can see that it is also very valuable to learn and can create many opportunities.

Equal Rights Equal Opportunities

We Have the Rights

       Most people take it for granted that women and men should be treated equally, receive the same quality of education and have equal opportunities. But, for now, what is happening? Some countries haven’t yet this type of equality. We are born because we have the right to live in this world. We are all equal and have the right to make free will. The call for equal is a persuasive one. All people are created in the image of God, and no person, and certainly not a whole category of people, should be subjected to unjust and unequal treatments.

  Now, they are promoting the gender equality in our country and it is a way of making the women’s rights strong because it is wrong to persuade women that they should first enter such opportunities that a man can do. Children, they have the rights too, because they are also human beings like us that can’t be abuse. They have the right to be loved and take good care.

       Human rights of every individual are very important to human living. A person should be given equal opportunities to prove that he/she is important as a human being. Give every person a respect so that they will enjoy their freedom as a human being.

Intramurals 2014

  High school life would not be completed without the Intramural Sports Program because this is very important to every student like us. It improves our physical skills and maintains the fitness of our body.  The main purpose of the intramural sports program is to provide opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to actively engage in activities involving sport, dances, recreation, and play while providing structure for an experiential education.

The next day, sports were held during that day such as soccer, volleyball, basketball and etc. The weather was not good at all that made the Intramural continued last September 25. It was a battle between the four different year levels namely: Freshies, Sophies, Juniors and the Seniors team. They competed to win the trophy of the champions. What team do you think who owns it? 

My Teacher My Hero

Why My Teacher is a Hero

When we mentioned the word hero, I often think those who sacrifice their own lives, those who are popular for their achievements in the country, or those people who made things that made the country better. Often, these heroes came in time of war or tragedy, but I rarely think that almost every day there is a hero that you see and talk to them.

A hero is an entity that shows noble principles and tireless service providers in the community. After all, we all can be heroes; we should be honest and strive in our work for others and not just for ourselves.

For me, an example of this is our parents. It is not a joke to become a parent, by the time their child is born, it is their first priority in their lives. They are responsible for taking care of them. Every day, they are providing the food, home, and education of their children.

We also considered our teachers like our parents. As they said, they are our second parents. They provide us our needed knowledge for the future, not only for academics but also for our humanities and good morals that we will be applying while we are living.

I am very lucky that God gave me my teachers. I salute them and I considered them my heroes.

Science Month Celebration 2014

Immunation: Arming Science Clubbers with Healthful

Defenses towards National Wellness

Every September, we are celebrating the Science Month Celebration where students will participate in the different contests. The theme for this year’s National Science Club Month celebration is “Immunation: Arming Science Clubbers with Healthful Defenses towards National Wellness.”

According to the internet, Immunation is a play on words on ammunition and immunization. They would like the science clubbers to be armed or to be immune against diseases through imparting knowledge about disease, how they spread, etc. Its goal is not only the science clubbers that benefit from this knowledge but also their school and communities and thus leading to national wellness.

Since our country today can be entered by many diseases from the other countries, this theme promotes that we should be prepared and be healthy to prevent such diseases that can cause death.

My Modern Heroes

I Salute My Modern Heroes

A lot of thoughts came to my mind when one of our teachers asked, “Who is your greatest hero?” I was bound to answer that question because anyone can be my hero without being famous and being globally known. For instance, I have my friends that give me advises that I really look for and helping me for some of my problems, and also my teachers who educate me for a success. These are my considered heroes, but there are these people who made it to be my heroes and who I was within times of pains and struggles in life. They deserve to be called My Greatest Heroes.

          
        For me, my greatest heroes are my parents. Yes, you read it right! They used as an instruments of God why I am living. I lift up my chin in times of disappointments and sadness because they taught me how. They are the first one who gave me good moral values to know and they are always supporting me in every matter. Sometimes, they disagreed what I want to do but I listen to their reasons why they don’t like it, because they know what is good for me.

      

Living in a colorful life and creating new destinations is because of my parents. This motivates me in becoming a person with an ability to do more. I became the person who I am now. Heroes are more than people who save cats from trees. I thank God for giving me with these people. And I know heroes love to take credibility for changing a person. Enacting all the qualities that they taught me is the best way in paying them for all the hard work that they've done just to make me better among the better.

Filipino: Wika ng Pagkakaisa

Tayo'y Magkaisa Para sa Ating Bansa

Maraming pinagdaan ang ating wika. Maraming pangyayari ang nagbigay daan para mabuhay ang wikang Filipino. Hanggang sa dumating ang araw na kanilang pinakahihintay, ang araw ng pag-ani ng kanilang naipundar na pagsisikap para sa ating wika. Ang ating wika ang siyang kaluluwa ng ating bansa na kung makapagpapatunay na tayo ay Pilipino. Ang bansa ay umunlad din dahil sa ating wika. Maging ang pagkakaisa ng mga mamamayan ay hindi rin makakamtam kung wala itong wika na isa sa mga pinakamahalagang sangkap ng bansa.

Ang pagkakaroon ng sarili nating wika ay isang karangalan sa ating bansa. Ito ay isang sukatan natin ng yaman ng lahi sa kultura, tradisyon, at paniniwala ng ating bansang Pilipinas. Mahalaga na ito'y ating pagyamanin para sa mga susunod na henerasyon. Ang pagkakaroon ng iisang wika ay nangangahulugang nagkakaisa ang mga mamamayan at nagkakaintindihan ang lahat para sa iisang hangarin. Dahil kung hindi pinahalagahan noon na magkaroon ng pambansang wika ay hindi magkakaintindihan at magulo ang pakikipag-komunikasyon at talastasan. Hindi magiging maayos ang buhay kung iba’t-ibang wikang etniko ang dapat nating isaulo.

 

Ang pagkakaisa ng mga mamamayan ng ating bansa sa isipan at gawa ay dapat nating makamtam. Ang pagkakabuklod na hinahangad ay makakamtam lamang kapag ang kanilang wikang sarili ay ang ginagamit ng bawat mamamayan rito. Ngayong nasa tuwid na landas na tayo, ating ipagmalaki at ipagbunyi na mayroon tayong iisang wika at ito ang Filipino na daan sa iisa nating hangarin, at ito ang pagbabago sa lipunan. Nawa’y ating gamitin ng wasto ngayong buwan ng wika ang Filipino at taas-noo tayong magsalita sa ating sariling wika!

SONA 2014

State Of Nation Address 2014

       President Benigno Aquino III has delivered his fifth SONA last July 28, 2014 at Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City.

In the president’s speech, he made some personal statement and become emotional during the last part of it. He stated that, “The Filipino is worth dying for; the Filipino is worth living for. He narrated how the government endured the corruption and hardships. He has also cited that he’s already contented with the accomplishments of his administration. But the question is, are this accomplishments satisfied the many Filipinos?

During his speech, some people were protested outside the event area, they said that Aquino is the Pork Barrel king as they showed “holDAPer” which pertains to the president’s DAP. They were trying to protest about the controversial DAP. But the president explained about this issue. President PNoy explained the importance of the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) as he defended his stance, despite the controversy surrounding its implementation. He showed all the projects funded by DAP that came from the savings of the national government. The Pres. noted that because of DAP, it was able to help TESDA scholars achieved their goals even showcasing a testimonials from beneficiaries of the program. He also noted that the employment rate of the country had increased and reflects how his administration handled the labor policies.

As most Filipinos know, every SONA was the speech of the president in which he will deliver all his plans and improvement of the country especially on economy. But many were dismayed because some of the promises were not granted so they protest.
