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.
