    President Elpidio Quirino: His Life, Career, and Legacy.  President Elpidio Quirino is one of the leaders who helped rebuild the Philippines after World War II. Born on November 16, 1890 in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Quirino grew up in a humble family and worked hard to finish his studies. Despite financial challenges, he graduated from the University of the Philippines College of Law and became a lawyer. His early life shows how determination and education played a big role in shaping his future as a public servant. Before becoming president, Quirino had a long and active political career. He served as a member of the House of Representatives, a senator, and later as Vice President under Manuel Roxas. When President Roxas died in 1948, Quirino took over the presidency.

2025 National Children’s Month The theme for this year’s National Children’s Month, “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!”, highlights a very serious issue that many young people face today—online sexual abuse and exploitation. For me, this theme reminds us that even if technology makes life easier, it also creates new dangers for children. The message encourages everyone, especially adults and the government, to take a strong stand in protecting kids not just offline, but also online where most abuse now happens. I think the government has been improving its actions when it comes to protecting children’s safety, dignity, and rights. Laws like Republic Act 11930 or the Anti-OSAEC and Anti-CSAEM Act show that the government recognizes how dangerous the internet can be. This law forces online platforms to strengthen their security, helps law enforcement trace criminals faster, and ensures that victims receive proper support and protection. For me, this is a go...

Thematic

Exploring Vigan: A Journey Through Time in the Heart of Ilocos Sur Vigan, the capital of Ilocos Sur and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the Philippines’ best-preserved examples of a Spanish colonial town. Walking through its cobblestone streets feels like stepping back in time, as the city’s elegant ancestral houses and timeless charm tell stories of centuries past. More than just a tourist destination, Vigan is a living museum — where culture, tradition, and history thrive in perfect harmony. My journey began at Calle Crisologo, the most famous street in Vigan. Its well-preserved Spanish-era houses, with their capiz shell windows, red-tiled roofs, and stone foundations, transport visitors to the 16th century. As I strolled along the cobbled path, the rhythmic sound of horse-drawn calesas filled the air, creating an atmosphere that was both nostalgic and romantic. Each house along Calle Crisologo seemed to whisper tales of the wealthy Ilocano families who once lived there, thei...

2nd Quarter Reflection

Image
 During the second quarter in ICT, I have learned a lot of new things, especially about HTML and how it is used to create web pages. I discovered how to use different HTML tags such as <html>, <head>, <body>, <h1> to <h6>, <p>, and <a> to structure a webpage properly. I also learned about inserting images, creating links, and designing simple layouts using basic HTML elements. These lessons helped me understand how websites are made and made me appreciate how technology connects people and information online. One of the challenges I encountered this quarter was learning how to properly arrange and close HTML tags. Sometimes, my webpage would not display correctly because I forgot to close a tag or misplaced a code. I also had difficulty understanding how to connect HTML with CSS at first. It was confusing, especially when trying to make the webpage look more attractive and organized. To overcome these challenges, I practiced coding more oft...

Teacher's Day

Image
 Teacher's Month theme, "My Teacher, My Hero," serves as a powerful and much-needed spotlight on the extraordinary dedication and selfless service of educators. This celebration, running from September 5 to October 5 and culminating on National Teachers' Day, rightly positions teachers not merely as instructors but as fundamental nation-builders and real-life heroes. The theme acknowledges their quiet heroism: the perseverance in molding young minds, the resourcefulness in overcoming systemic challenges, and the profound impact they have on a learner’s future well-being and success. It is an urgent call for society to translate admiration into tangible support, including better working conditions and professional respect, ensuring these heroes have the resources they need to continue their vital mission. Expressing Gratitude and Respect My deepest gratitude for my teachers' hard work and dedication is expressed by striving to be the best version of myself—a lifelo...

National Science Month Celebration

As we celebrate National Science Month, let us rekindle our sense of wonder and curiosity the very spark that drives discovery. Science is not just a collection of facts or formulas; it is a way of seeing the world with open eyes and a questioning mind. It invites us to ask why, to explore how, and to imagine what if? Today, the boundaries between imagination and reality are becoming smaller than ever. From breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and biotechnology to advances in clean energy and space exploration, science is shaping our future with incredible speed. What once seemed impossible is now within reach,powered by creativity, collaboration, and the Filipino spirit of resilience and innovation. But with great progress comes great responsibility. As we explore new frontiers, we must also ensure that science serves humanity with compassion and integrity. Every discovery must not only advance technology but also uphold ethical values, protect our environment, and promote equalit...

Climate Change

Image
In the Philippines, climate change isn’t just something we hear about on the news it’s something we live through every day. From storms that seem to come out of nowhere, to floods that leave families stranded, to the rising heat that makes life more difficult, the effects are real and constant. Yet, in spite of all this, Filipinos continue to show what it means to be resilient. You can see it after a typhoon has passed. Streets are flooded, power lines are down, and entire communities are devastated. But what’s just as certain as the disaster itself is the spirit of bayanihan the willingness of neighbors to lend a hand. Families pull together to rebuild homes, share whatever food and water they have, and give hope to each other in the hardest moments. It’s not about waiting for someone to fix things; it’s about taking the first step, together. While many of us suffer from the effects of climate change, it’s often the most vulnerable who bear the brunt. Farmers lose their crops to flood...
