First Step: Be Aware

Let me ask you, are you aware of everything  in our environment? Or is just a simple 'Go Green' exhortation you can't even understand. Being aware of our environment feels like appreciating what God made. But it is much more when that awareness push you to make good things out of it.

Percentage of peole not caring or like 'hurting' the earth is increasing every second. Things like littering, just by using plastic bottles, or just not caring about earth at all. Haven't you still realize that without our environment there's no such thing as fresh air? Or without environment, there's no living. So before its not too late, just like they say ' The first step to change is to be aware'.

Be Aware, Not Unaware

November is full of celebrations, here and there. But we shouldn't forget that it's not only about celebrating but November is also promoting and spreading awareness on the rights of children here in the Philippines. Considering how many percentage of youth is not given the right and not aware of their rights.

A child should be given the right to live because it is one of his/her right. It is his parents right to raise him and provide what he needs. So cases like abortion should be stop. No one should suffer from the pain it gives. Every children deserve to live and enjoy life.

Filipino Values Month

With all the celebrations here in our country, we should forget about celebrating values. Department of Education encouraged all public and private school to have activities related to Filipino Values Month Celebration.

Education Secretary Leonor Briones, in DepEd Memorandum no. 161 series of 2019, issued the guidelines on the conduct of this year’s observance of the Filipino Values Month. The FVM, she explained, “aims to mobilize all Filipinos for nation building through the practical exercise of human values in our daily lives as citizens and to awaken all to the power of these values in achieving the individual and national goals.”

 DepEd reminded all schools to observe and celebrate the FVM. Briones noted that all public and private schools are enjoined to conduct “simple yet meaningful activities promoting Filipino values.”

"Small act, Big Impact"

As we all know, Philippines is one of the 51 founders of of the United Nations. And every October 24, we celebrate the built friendship and partnership. But aside from being one of the 51 founders. We can get benefit from it like when Yolanda strikes. People all over the world, especially schools, celebrates United Nations Day with a parade of colors and even a program for a whole day.

October 24, we celebrate by using our National customs. It has the objectives to promote and facilitate cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights, civil rights, civil liberties, political freedoms, democracy, and the achievement of lasting world peace and the U.N doesn’t only save lives, they also help refugees, fights climate change and promotes sustainable management.

What More to Know

Every year, we learn something new. Including on our own several subjects. New year means new beginning and new beginning means new learning. We may encounter new things but as we learn, we get better in everything. Like what we have learn in out TLE/ICT subject, we may passed the first but the second grading was not a joke to anyone. At first we didn't know what HTmL or Exer means but as the time passed by and more lesson are discussed we are able to learn and cope up with it.

We have written blogs too and have given our insights about the activities in our school or anything depends on what our teacher tells us. Like any celebration that we celebrates not just in our school but also in Vigan. We have enjoyed writing and we even enjoyed doing exers even though sometimes it confuses us.

Thank You

Teaching is the most influential job in the world. Teachers are known to shape the mind of youth and without knowledge no one can exist in this world. Teacher imparts good value in children and turn them into responsible citizens. So, almost every country celebrates Teacher's Day.

Just like they say, our teachers are our second parents. You respect your parents, then you respect your teachers. Being a teacher is hard, we don't know their sacrifices so we should make them feel our love, respect and support. 

Every year, we celebrate Teacher's Day and every teacher assign someone as their little teacher. They assign something for the little teacher to discuss. It is also the time for them to rest because it is their day. 

Intramurals 2019

Just like they say, intramurals is open to all. If you hear the word intramurals what comes first into your mind? Sports, competing and wining right?

Intramurals are recreational sports organized within a particular institution, usually an educational institution, or a set of geographic area. It is about competing with someone in a certain sport. The purpose of intramurals as we all know is that it provides fun, safe and structured play experiences that promote the physical, mental  and social development of a child.
It also teaches sportsmanship and not only focuses on competing. It brings out the best of a child and it helps them accept if ever they lose.

Intramurals is also about enjoying and meeting new people. You can also be more enhance on the sport you will participate. Since if you participate in that sport someome will focus on you or your group and will be able to give you guidance and advice that you needed.

Science is for Everyone

Science is consists of many interesting experiments and things. It is one of the major subject that should be given more attention because it has many branches and it takes time before you truly understand it. Some says that it is hard which is true but it depends on your interest. If you focus more on Science then you will be able to understand it. In Science Month Celebration, everything is all about Science. Students that love science is beyond happy. With their events they will be able to pursue people to love and appreciate the beauty of Science.

This celebration is very important because it not just focuses mainly on celebrating it but also it also can spark the interest  of the students in that particular subject. If you have other interest then it will not be a problem since the events are not only about experimenting but also other activities that doesn't require experimenting.

Know More

An event or program like "Happy Schools Program should be given importance. Since it is launched to boost the efficient implementation of the K to 12 basic education curriculum in the Ilocos Province. There should be more opportunities like this so that teachers will be able to apply their full knowledge and will be able to apply it. It wouldn't just merely about knowing something about that subject but it is about enjoying what you are learning and will be able to apply it. It has sparked many interest of students they weren't aware of. The heart-warming welcome of the teachers as you pass or visit are truly appreciated.

This is very important because it can help you decide on what interest you more so that it wouldn't hard for you to decide on what you want. They were able to help you in understanding what you want to know. And it should be more often because they will awaken the interest of others.

Solidarity Day

For you, what is solidarity? Why is there a need to celebrate such thing?

When you see a group of citizens protesting something on the news, marching in a group, holding signs, and chanting slogans, you know they are in solidarity with each other, or united behind a common goal or purpose.

Any time you express support of a group or the people in it, you're showing solidarity with them. The word is used most often to describe a sense of unity with a political group, a group of striking workers, or people who have been deprived of their rights in some way. You might show your own solidarity by signing a petition, joining in a protest, or simply flashing a thumbs up.

In Vigan, they celebrate World Heritage Cities Solidarity Cultural Festival every September. Solidarity Day of World Heritage Cities is a unique opportunity to put heritage issues on the agenda and to express solidarity with World Heritage Cities. And it aims to strengthen the pride in the city’s history and culture, promote friendship and diversity between countries. Lots of acitvities are partcipated with people.

WIKA: BIGYAN NG IMPORTANSIYA

Dapat nating pahalagahan ang ating sariling wika sapagkat ang wikang Filipino ay sumisimbolo ng ating kultura. Ang wika ay may mahalagang papel sa pang-araw-araw na buhay ng mga tao, hindi lamang bilang isang paraan sa komunikasyon, edukasyon, pagsasama at kaunlaran ng lipunan, kundi pati na rin bilang isang imbakan para sa natatangig pagkakakilanlan, kasaysayan ng kultura, tradisyon at memorya.

Kilala ang Pilipinas sa pagkakaroon ng maraming diyalekto at lengguwahe. Ngunit kung ating ipagdiwang ang Wikag Pambansa, tayo lang ay nakapokus sa wikang Filipino, dapat ay ating din pagtuunan ng pansin ang iba't-ibang lengguwahe.

“Ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit sa hayop at malansang isda; kaya ating pagyamaning kusa, gaya ng inang sa atin ay nagpala.” Ito ang tanyag na katagang nagmula sa ating pambansang bayani na si Gat. Jose Rizal na nagbibigay kahalagahan sa wika sa buhay ng isang tao. Isang inspirasyonal na kataga at kapupulutan ng aral tungkol sa pagpapahalaga ng wika.

Nagsisilbi ding paalala ang pagdiriwang ng Wikang Pambansa. Sapagkat sa paraang ito inaala natin kung saan tayo nagsimula. Sa pamamagitang nito ay ipinapaalala at binibigay diin nito ang importansiya ng wika sa atin.
