Buwan ng Wika

 

 

     Every year, during the month of August which is also called "Buwan ng Wika", all the Filipinos celebrate to give importance and to improve more the usage of our national language. And every year there are different themes for the "Buwan ng Wika" and this year's theme is "WIKA NATIN ANG DAANG MATUWID".

    The Filipino language is our instrument in understanding each other. This is key why we, the Filipinos, are united which caused the improvement of our country. The Filipino language is the symbol of our freedom because a free country has its own language, unlike when our ancestors were under the Spaniards where in they were force to speak Spanish so that the Spaniards can understand them. That is why we need to treasure and be glad for our Filipino language as a real Filipino. There's no other person that can improve our own language than we, all the Filipinos, that is why let us help each other hand in hand in retaining and improving our Filipino language.

     Wikang Filipino atin ng gamitin dahil ito ang susi sa pag-unlad natin. Mga kapwa Kayumanggi, bilang isang tunay na anak ng bansang sinisinta, tayo na't magsama-samang gamitin ang ating wika dahil ang "Wika Natin ang Daang Matuwid." :)

My Reflection Towards the First Grading Period

          CRINGGGGG!!!!! "All right class, pass now your test papers, your exam is now over." --- And that is how everything came to end.

          Time runs fast isn't it? It was just like yesterday when we came back in our Alma Matter after a long vacation but look how fast the time goes, the first quarter of the school year had officially ended; the last First Grading Period of my high school life is over, which only means that now I only have three more grading periods before I will be totally bidding my god bye to my Alma Matter, which is quite hard for me to digest. First Grading Period is over and I can't do anything but to accept it and just cherish all the lessons I learned like the Timeline of Internet, Different People Who Contributed in the Field of Internet, How to create a Blog Account and How to post in your Blog, and many more. I am glad that my knowledge about internet was expanded, though during the First Grading Period I encountered some problems like those times where in we were required to be excused in our class which caused us to be left behind in our lessons but because I don't want to fail in our ICT class I reviewed my notes for I not to get a low score in our Periodical Test. Another problem was the Nutri-Jingle competition, at first there where no cooperation in our group during our practices that caused me to cry because I can't see any improvement in our performance but after that their souls were awakened and they started working responsibly. I was so glad which caused me to be inspired in performing during the competition. We may not be the winner but at least we know deep in ourselves that we did our very best and it's not a reason for us to be sad and disappointed, because if you know that you gave your very best during a contest and you were able to make the audience happy, you will not regret for anything instead you will be contented to what you have done and accept the outcome and continue living happily.

          The First Grading Period now came to end but this is not a reason for us to halt in chasing our dreams. It's time for us to move on to the next chapter of our lives. Time to accept what is over and what is done. Let us continue our journey but we must not forget the memories of the past, whether it is happy or sad, because without those, we are not who we are today. (^_^)

State of the Nation Address of President Benigno Aquino III

          Annually, during the 4th Monday of the 7th month of the year, the President of the Philippines delivers his/her State Of the Nation Address (SONA). Last July 22, 2013 our President Benigno Simeon Aquino III delivered his 4th SONA to inform us, the citizen of the Philippines, about the progress of our country, the current projects, the plans and the problems of our country.

          In President Benigno Simeon Aquino III's  SONA, one of the topic he discussed was about education where in he focused about the ability of our country to prepare for the additional needs that the implementation of the K-12 program will require, but why is it that some school still lack on books, chairs, rooms and other school facilities. Like in our school, we don't have enough books for our subjects and also laboratory equipments even computer equipments. So how can it be that our country has the ability to prepare for the additional needs that the implementation of the K-12 program will require? If the government cannot produce all the needs of all the schools in our country today, how would they be able to produce all the needs in the future, where in there is surely a great increase of student population that will also cause demand of teachers which will lead to increase in the teachers population? Where will the government get the fund for school facilities? Where will they get the teacher's salary? I just hope that the government will be able to solve this problems because we, the Filipinos, are counting on the government.

          I made this reaction to voice out my observations and my experiences towards the problems of our country in line with education. As a student, I really hope the government will give importance to this matter because education is the only key of our country to improve and can even overcome the other countries.  

"Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan."

          We are now in the month of July and we all know that it is the month of nutrition where in we celebrate and give importance to our nutrition but this does not mean that we will only give importance to our nutrition during the month of July, it should be everyday. And the theme of this year's Nutrition Month is "Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan." so let us all eat healthy foods so that cases of famine and malnutrition will decrease and hopefully it will be eradicated.

          In our locality now a days, there are individuals who are experiencing famine and malnutrition which is caused by poverty. Because of poverty they can not eat three times a day which is the cause of famine and malnutrition of an individual; malnutrition can also be caused by not eating healthy foods. So we must help one another because no one can solve this problem but ourselves. The government must also make a move and rise the fund of the Department of Health (DOH) so that the DOH can work more to solve the said problem and for the improvement of our country.

          Our nutrition is essential in our daily lives so we must take care of ourselves in order to do our daily activities. We must help hand in hand to solve the case of famine and malnutrition in our country.
