Reaching the End of the Line

     https://www.quotemaster.org/end+of+the+line     We are already reaching the end of the line for this school year and we are but grateful and relieved at the same time. It is not easy for me, for the students in general, to go through this rough year alone, even though we have access to the internet and some don't which is very unfortunate and be able to achieve communication with our teachers, we were faced with multiple overwhelming problems which rendered our ability to learn and motivate ourselves almost completely useless.      I actually quite liked this modular learning, because aside from being able to commune with our friends, we were also able to discuss our lessons and compare our answers which was the only way that helped us process information rather than simply receiving it.       I congratulate all the students that maintained their will to learn and found a way to motivate themselves despite our situation. ...

Ecosystem Restoration 2021

     (Manoj Kumar/ Hindustan Times)      Ecosystem restoration means assisting in the recovery of ecosystems that have been degraded or destroyed, as well as conserving the ecosystems that are still intact. Healthier ecosystems, with richer biodiversity, yield greater benefits such as more fertile soils, bigger yields of timber and fish, and larger stores of greenhouse gases.     Restoration can happen in many ways - for example, through actively planting or by removing pressures so that nature can recover on its own. It is not always possible - or desirable - to return an ecosystem to its original state. We still need farmland and infrastructure on land that was once a forest, for instance, and ecosystems, like societies, need to adapt to a changing climate.     All kinds of ecosystems can be restored, including forests, farmlands, cities, wetlands, and oceans. Restoration initiatives can be launched by almost anyone, from government a...

The country was colonized by many nations for hundred of years. imagine achieving freedom finally after all the hardships you've been through. It is indeed priceless.     Philippine Independence Day has been celebrated every June 12 since 1962. The original celebration used to be on July 4, but then President Diosdado Macapagal changed the date to the way it is now in commemoration of Emilio Aguinaldo's declaration of independence from the Spaniards.     In turn, July 4 was declared as Philippine Republic Day or American-Filipino Friendship Day, when a treaty was made declaring the freedom of the Philippines from the United Sates.     The celebration of the Philippine Independence is from May 28 to June 12, where all gov...

Honoring Our "Ilaw ng Tahanan"

  https://www.floristmanila.com/mothers-day-flowers-delivery-to-philippines.html             Mother’s Day is a celebration honoring mothers and celebrating motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in March, April, or May. Celebrations of mothers and motherhood occur throughout the world; many of these can be traced back to ancient festivals, like the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration. However, the modern holiday is a U.S. modern invention, and it is not related to these celebrations. Despite this, in some countries Mother’s Day has become synonymous with these older traditions.             In the Filipino culture, celebrating Mother’s Day has also become a popular and long-running tradition. Such honoring i...

Reflection: Third Grading Period

                    Throughout the third grading period, I would say I learned what retained in my mind, the other subjects were fun especially Science, which was about evolution, and it’s fun. Secondly, the Community-Based Project in the ICT subject is enjoyable as well. We were able to research something about our community, whether its popular landmarks or its hidden gems. And it was really fun and informative at the same time knowing all that information and on top of that, it made me realize that I don’t really know my place that much. Many histories have taken place and hidden gems. When I was working on this, for a moment, I experienced the past, as if I am living in that time.             Unfortunately, we were faced again with the constant problems that we experienced during the previous periods. If I am being totally honest, I think that students learned less du...
