3rd Quarter

This 3rd Quarter had me mind boggled.

I'm near the end of the school year, yet I have still much to learn.

Learning how to code is not that easy, because you have to memorize all the components. Making web pages are actually not hard, like mine. Creativity is one of what I've learned, choosing fonts, background colors, and background colors so that my page will look good.

I will carry these after Grade 10 because maybe one day I can apply it on something.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

"Tis the season to be jolly fa la la la la, la la la la"
-Deck The Halls by Pentatonix

The entire world is getting ready to celebrate Christmas and welcome the New Year. After all, both are great occasions for everybody. For religious and social reasons both are important. Festivals are always a source of joy and happiness for all. For some it is time for prayers and meditation, while for some it is time to eat and drink. For working people, it is a welcome holiday. Children wait eagerly for the gifts Santa Clause will bring for them. Thus it can be seen that each individual has some vested interest in Christmas and New Year. Tho it's the season of giving.

Fight for what's Right

“If we are to fight discrimination and injustice against women we must start from the home for if a woman cannot be safe in her own house then she cannot be expected to feel safe anywhere.”
― Aysha Taryam

Nowadays, women are being oppressed, abused, treated as animals or in short slaves.

Violence against them is the most pervasive human right abused today. In most cases, women are vulnerable, the threat even being close male relatives, friends or romantic partners.Gender-based violence hurts human development. This has been a cause of both forced displacement and terrible consequences of the breakdown of community structures that accompanies displacement.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

It's all that We have

“The environment is where we all meet; where we all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share.”
-Lady Bird Johnson

In this Environment Awareness Month is where earth lovers convince others on doing the right thing instead of the opposite. We are all being alarmed by the causes of climate change and it's up to us to right our own wrongs.

LEADERS of the New Generation

This year’s theme is dubbed as “Karapatang Pambata: Patuloy na Pahalagahan at Gampanan Tungo sa Magandang Kinabukasan” in relation to the “Karapatan ng mga Bata” of the Philippine Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) implementation and accomplishments and was approved by the Council Board on April 2019.

Despite Filipino children and their families' challenges in daily living compromising their human rights and benefits, this year’s celebration aims to celebrate the gains and successes of the country in promoting and protecting the children.

Further, the theme is also crafted to intensify the public’s awareness and remind all sectors of the community and society to be responsible in raising-up the Filipino child to become a well-rounded person.

“We need to further institutionalize a child-friendly environment and governance, and strengthen the actions of the stakeholders and partner agencies in implementing the rights of children,” said Mark Alison Follosco of the Regional Council for the Welfare of Children (RCWC).

He added, “It is also essential that children are empowered as right-holders and duty-bearers for them to deliver their responsibilities and commitments to promote, protect and fulfill their rights.”

Filipino Culture lives on!

All schools, both public and private are enjoined to hold meaningful, simple, and doable activities highlighting Filipino values which are anchored on the theme:Pamilyang Pilipino Patatagin: Susi sa Paghubogng Kabataang Maka-Diyos, makatao, Makakalikasan at Makabansa. 

Said activities must not be limited to having contests or competitions, exhibits of talents and innovations on creative arts, symposia or seminars, film showing or stage play on current issues related to the theme, and acting out alternative interventions exemplifying positive Filipino values, but also incorporating values in lessons in all learning areas as we aspire to develop, manifest and advocate core Filipino values of Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan at Makabansa.

United We Stand

2019 has been dedicated to raising awareness about languages of indigenous peoples all over the world.

Here in Ilocos Sur National High School, United Nations Day is celebrated with a parade of costumes and flags of different nations, and holds lessons about cultural diversity. This is true to the spirit of the United Nations that commemorates friendship and partnership of nations.

Occasionally, a whole day activity is being held to celebrate the United Nations Day.

Days of Complications

My 2nd grading did not start well for me. I had some complications towards this particular subject, ICT. Having these complications made it hard for me to understand the lessons that were discussed to us by our teacher, but in the activities, I excelled.

What can I say? Being a Grade 10 student is really hard. You need act like a role model to the lower grade levels. Having our Thematic Assessment, it really had a big impact on me being the layout artist of our group. Reminiscing our past activities, I have already an experience in making hmtl files.
It's basically programming, using different tags and such to create a web page-like design.

Having complications can often lead to failure, but if you cope up with what you have lost you can be victorious again. This 2nd grading may hard for me, I'll still try my very best to finish up strong.

Builders of the Youth

Teachers are molders of the youth, the masterminds to our success rather.

Teachers play an important role in our life to become successful in career and business. A good teacher helps us to become a good human being in society and a good citizen of the country. Teachers know that students are the future of any nation.

So the future development of any nation is in the hands of teachers. What we become in life it depends on teachers. Teachers impart the data and information in the brain of students to analyze. Analyzing the situation what is possible is the most important thing that we learn from teachers.

Appreciation is a big thing for them. As we grow older, having them recognized means a lot. So let's thank our teachers! They are really superheroes!

On your marks. Get set. GO!

Intramurals are the perfect opportunity to highlight camaraderie, sportsmanship, and talent.

School is a place where students are nurtured toward becoming responsible and productive members of society. School provides a means of molding students into capable employees or professionals in their chosen fields. Mathematics and science help students to enhance their reasoning, English helps hone and polish verbal and written communications, social studies promote socialization and awareness, and physical education encourages students to have holistic and active lifestyles and practice the arts of winning, losing, and teamwork.

In other words, participating in physical education provides invaluable life skills.

Science is Fun

We celebrate the month of September the National Science Month Celebration with the theme; "Metabolize: Nourishing the Filipino Youth Towards National Well-being".

We all know that Science is everywhere and somewhere, anything and everything, somebody or someone. Let me first take an introduction to refresh our minds about it. According to the Spark Notes of Science Discoveries, Science is everything that surrounds us. It's to discover Information about this world we live in , study information, problems, hypothesis and conclusions, a process that has started long long time ago and will continue in the near future and in generations to come. Everything in our world that we use somehow or someway was made by science. It started with discovering something now then study what can it be capable of. Science has taken to us to an entirely new place. From batteries to computers, to better gas mileages, there was just been huge breakthrough in Science. It is in both chemistry and physics. In chemistry there is discovering elements using chemical bonding. In physics there are already discovered laws and properties such as gravity, motion, speed, force, acceleration etc. Whether the discovery is 200 years old , 100 years old or present, It's Science nonetheless. Science is all around us, from laptops that we use, car that we drive. Science is to discover information about our Natural world and even about space to help us understand our Existence.

Don't worry, Be Happy!

A school without harm could be perfect for students to learn in.

Happy Schools Movement: the movement seeks to promote every school in the region as a better and enjoyable place to study. Through this program, the learners’ full potential is given the greatest attention by creating a happier and more positive school culture. The welfare of the learners is primarily and always the concern of the HSM guided with four pillars such as responsive school leadership, relevant classroom instruction, conducive and healthy learning environment, and good governance.

The movement aims to inculcate in the minds of pupils that school is not just a place for learning but also a place for fun and enjoyment as they enjoy what they are doing.

Solidaridad

Head north to Vigan City in Ilocos Sur and join in the city’s celebration of the annual World Heritage Cities Solidarity Cultural Festival. Interesting cultural activities are lined up including Paseo de Vigan where you get the chance to rent period costumes and have your photo taken at historic Crisologo St; heritage walking tour all weekends of September; Zarsuela Ilocana, singing competition, choir competition, folk dance competition, literary competitions at the Vigan Convention Center; trade and food fair at the parking lot behind the Convention Center; and a lot more.

The festival is rooted in Vigan City being part of the Organization of World Heritage Cities (OWHC), an organization founded on September 8, 1993 in Fez, Morocco, to unite cities included in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List. The organization aims to bolster support to preserve and promote the member cities’ respective World Heritage.

Vigan City was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1999 for having the “best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia”. Established in the 16th century, Vigan City boasts of intact examples of colonial architecture that reflect the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines, from China and from Europe, resulting in a culture and townscape that have no parallel anywhere in East and South-East Asia.

Uncultured Swine

Let us set aside politics and unnecessary issues to pave the way for the Buwan Ng Wika (Philippine Language Month) celebration. This seems to be the only longest observation and celebration of our languages. But for some reason, we have been only focused on the national language, Filipino when we should also be aware of the many languages that abound us.

First, our national language is Filipino. Second, we have eight major languages: Tagalog, Ilocano, Kapampangan, Pangasinan, Waray, Bicolano, Cebuano and Hiligaynon (Ilonggo). Third, we have around 185 languages and dialects. Fourth, whether you accept it or not – the official language or as Peter Wallace coined it, the “language unifier” is Filipino and English. Yes, there is much debate on this but let’s leave it for now.

In 1946, President Sergio Osmena, through Proclamation No. 35 of March 26 declared a week-long celebration of the national language which lasted from March 27 to April 2 each year, the last day being the birthday of the Filipino writer Francisco Baltazar, author of the Tagalog epic Florante at Laura. Proclamation No. 186 of September 23 was later signed in 1955 by President Ramon Magsaysay to call it Linggo Ng Wika. In 1997, another Proclamation signed by President Fidel V. Ramos was made to lengthen the celebration into a month; thus, it became Buwan ng Wika. It was also made to fall on the birth month of President Manuel Quezon who was known to be the father of our national language or Ama ng Wikang Pambansa. He felt that our countrymen needed to unite using one national language (Tagalog later changed to Filipino) without forgetting their ethnic languages or dialects.

My 1st Quarter

      My first quarter was not that easy though I had learnt new knowledge and gained some. Internet and it's purposes, its history, the search terms used in search engines and the protocols to make a request to the web server to web servers and opens web pages for specific researches.

      When the Nutrition Month started, I missed a lot of quizzes, activities and lessons not just in ICT but in all our subjects. I surpassed my first quarter not by my own, but my friends too. They helped me in my studies and in coping for all the lessons that I missed out.

      First Quarter was a roller coaster ride, but now I am more excited to embark on my Grade 10 journey.

Filipino Resiliency

     
        NDRM is observed every July by virtue of Executive Order No. 29, signed on June 28, 2017.

Originally known as National Disaster Consciousness Month, it was renamed to shift from disaster awareness to building disaster resilience.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council is the lead agency tasked to implement all programs under this order.

The Healthier, the Better

      We need to be physically fit, in achieving this we must practice good diet and exercise regularly in order to gain muscle and to be energetic in our everyday doings.

We must focus on our food intake and weight. Weight management does not include fad diets that promote quick, temporary weight loss. It focuses on the long-term results that are achieved through slow weight loss, followed by retention of an ideal body weight for age, sex and weight.

"Daig ng Handa ang Anumang Sakuna"

          Earthquake is a catastrophic event in which not just hundreds or thousands of people will suffer, it can be the whole world.

  Our country, the Philippines, lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, wherein active volcanoes are located and the Philippines has many active volcanoes on it. The Government implemented the Simultaneous Earthquake Drill on schools to practice the preparedness of the students when an earthquake occurs.

Unite as One

 Unite as One

       Independence talks about a condition of a person, nation, country, or state. Our country, the Philippines, and we Filipinos Celebrate our so called Independence Day on June 12.

        June 12, 1898, we escaped from the hands of the Spaniards. Colonized by the Spanish, Americans and the Japanese, we learnt their culture and the way of their living. Although they controlled our government, our national heroes didn’t think of that as a hindrance in fighting them. The Spanish Era lasted for 333 years until the Americans came. They helped is in casting out the Spaniards put of the country, but they took advantage of us. Instead of setting us free, they had us colonized.
