My Contemplation Regarding the First Grading Period

My younger self will always ask about random things, imagine how they work and how they originated, and will always end up forgetting about it because I don’t have any idea regarding the questions in my mind.

Internet is one of those things I kept on wondering about. Fortunately, it was one of our first lessons in ICT.  I learned how it works, who invented it, and what are its uses. Actually, you are using it right now, maybe for entertainment, aren’t you?

Regardless of having many subjects to study, the quizzes, requirements, and projects in ICT and other subjects are causing stress to students like me. However, we need to deal with these hardships in order to achieve our dreams because you know you are improving if you are experiencing difficulties. 

Anyways, I await the opportunity to attain more knowledge in the next grading period. New challenges and tasks, more lessons stacked in my little mind. Here I am, hoping for the better, moving on to the next chapter.

Why do We Need to be Prepared?

Filipinos should be ready for disasters. Our country lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire which causes large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions we can’t avoid. We cannot control the disasters but at some point, we can lessen its effect to our beloved nation.

Philippine government wants everybody to be prepared for destructive disasters that might hit our country, that’s why there is a “National Disaster Resilience Month”. This program has a theme, “Kahandaan sa Sakuna’t Peligro Para sa Tunay na Pagbabago”. It advocates preparedness for disasters to Filipinos for them to be aware of the damage and loss they can get when a disaster comes. It means that we should change our habits that doesn’t contribute in being ready for catastrophes. Being ready and prepared brings so much effect when different kinds of disasters strike our country. It makes us know what to do before, during, and after the disaster. This program helps everyone to lessen the damages brought by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, tsunami, and other disasters.

Everyone should be aware that anything could happen anytime and anywhere so we should be prepared and ready whenever nature brings us harm. Let's start the change from within ourselves, let's be disciplined, for us to save each other from the threat of nature.

Nutrified Filipinos, Soon

The nutrition of every human being is essential. Our government wants everyone to be healthy. In this case, they made a program to celebrate Nutrition Month.

Every year, the Department of Health creates a theme for the Nutrition Month. This year, it is "Nutrition Month Celebration: Kumain ng Wasto at Maging Aktibo, Push Natin ‘To!". This helps to encourage and make everyone remember to eat healthy and nutritious foods, take good care of our health, and be active in our everyday lives.

Being one of the countries that has the most number of malnourished children, the government made this celebration take part in schools, too. 

There are feeding programs held and activities to showcase the students’ creativity in making nutritious foods for their schoolmates and teachers. This way, students not just get to eat healthy foods but also, they can show their talent to everyone.

Always remember, being healthy is one of the keys to be a successful person. Let's not disappoint ourselves and start living a healthy life.

Being Ready for an Earthquake

Every year, National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill is done by schools and government offices for the sake of earthquake preparedness. No one knows when an earthquake will strike so authorities conduct programs like these to make people aware and for everyone to know what and what not to do during an earthquake.

School staffs and government authorities are expected to lead the simultaneous earthquake drill. Practices on what to do to save one’s life will be done on this day. Everyone expect that people will take this seriously because earthquake is not a joke. But still, some students don’t see the importance of this program. Nonetheless, officials continuously teach everybody first aids and how to avoid accidents during an earthquake.

During this program, officials don’t just teach how to be prepared but also on matters like fire accidents and other relative incidents.

This earthquake drill helps a lot to every human alive. It can save us during the dangerous earthquake that might strike in our place. Earthquake is a big threat to our lives and environment so I hope we will all learn something from this program and be aware on what to do when an earthquake occurs.

Una Carta al Presidente

June 13, 2019

Mr. Rodrigo R. Duterte,

            I would like you to know that your love for our country and your agreeable advocates are being admired by a student like me. Your leadership to your fellowmen is good even though some doesn’t like it. I also want to thank you for the laws implemented that brought development to our country specially the ones that focuses on our environment.

            Despite the admiration I have towards you as the Philippines’ president, I also want you to hear out my dismays. First, the issues and problems of our country that have not been resolved up to now, regarding that these issues are long overdue. One of these is concerning the waste management in the nation. Second, China causing harm to many Filipinos while doing their business in our territory. I am alarmed because those Filipinos’ jobs are affected all because of these Chinese invading the country. Third, the lack of justice to some persons killed despite their innocence. This issue came from the Extra Judicial Killing for the illegal drug users and pushers. Many are affected and in some ways, the government can’t do something about it. I know many people have their own disappointments regarding your actions having the highest position in our country. But for now, these are my concerns.

         
              Please know that I hope for resolutions to these issues for the betterment of our country. I am willing to give my support in your next steps as long as your objectives will bring nothing but harm to the Philippines and our fellow Filipinos.

Sincerely,
Trisha Nicole S. Buenavista

                                                                                   

Giving Back to the Heroes

Heroes of our country has done so much for us to have freedom. Up to now, this freedom is celebrated every year to remember their sacrifices and value their hardships to claim the beloved Philippines’ freedom.

            

This year, I know that our country will do the same as how we celebrate Independence Day. Little efforts are recognized not just in government offices and public places but also in schools, establishments, and even in our homes. Putting a small flag of our nation in our vehicles, house, and other places shows our participation and appreciation in the said celebration. Even in schools, students make a flag to represent themselves being united towards this occasion.

For the 121^ST celebration of Independence Day, I look forward on Filipinos treating the occasion right, giving respect, and appreciating what our ancestors did for us to live like what we do right now.
