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.

The theme is referred to us about what happened to Tacloban City, Philippines as they were experienced a great state of calamity last November 2013 after being severely hit by super typhoon named “Yolanda”. The government did not want to happen this again because many people died. So they made a campaign and through this theme, it will become useful and easy for them.

The theme promotes interventions to address nutritional needs in emergencies and disasters. This includes on how the people will prepare, recover, and response the calamity of the country. It will also increase the awareness among the families and every individual to improve their strategies to prevent malnutrition and worsening of nutritional status in times of emergencies and disasters.
