The main highlight this 3rd quarter was coding for web design and our community-based research. For our research topic, we picked crafts and clothing in Vigan City. Because of this, I’ve learned to improve my social skills since I was the one in charge of interviewing and talking to our respondents. Not only did I hone my skills, but I also understood the importance of our crafts and the continuity of these because of conducting this research. Additionally, I also improved in coding. Though I learned a lot, I still faced some challenges this quarter. Managing deadlines was very difficult, especially when many tasks were given at the same time. There were days when I felt tired and drained, and some lessons were hard to understand, just like our lesson in coding. There were times when I couldn’t reall...

When Filipinos were mistreated and controlled under Spanish colonial rule, many accepted injustice as a normal part of their life, believing that they could do nothing about it and that acceptance was the better choice. But because of Jose Rizal's courage, intelligence, and love for our country, he became an eye opener to filipinos. He showed the reality and painful truth of their situation. Through his words he made filipinos realize that they deserved dignity, equality, and freedom. Jose Rizal became the face of the Philippines because he gave Filipinos a sense of self worth and taught them to value themselves as a nation.           Jose Rizal’...

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌           Christmas is the time when we celebrate the birth of our dear God-- Jesus Christ. Families prepare various special foods, decorate their homes, exchange gifts, and gather together. While these traditions are very meaningful and important, the celebration of Christmas goes beyond and deeper than the food on the table and the excitement of midnight. At a deeper essence, Christmas season is about love, faith, and togetherness with our loved ones. ₊°🎄✩₊°🦌⊹♡           Before Christmas Eve, we planned the foods we wanted and bought everything after making sure each one of us preferred food were considered. On Christmas Eve itself, we spent the entire day preparing and helping one another. We made bibingka, graham, spaghetti, and macaroni. My mom also ordered bagnet, and my tita brought sushi. In the afternoon, my grandparents arrived, giving us the chance to catch up, share stories, and enjoy e...

                    The celebration of Indigenous Peoples Month reminds us that our culture continues. Indigenous communities keep traditions, stories, and skills that give us knowledge while also teaching us to respect these traditions. Their culture is what preserves our past and continues to guide and help the future.            Empowering Indigenous Peoples means listening to their voices and protecting their rights. When they are seen and supported, they can care and have what is theirs, they can share their knowledge, and help build a better society. They also remind us to always care and protect the environment.          By respecting Indigenous culture, we can build a stronger nation. Indigenous communities are important to development. When we value and support them, we create a better future for all Filipinos. REFERENCE: https://bestdivingphilippines. com/wp-...

          ----------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------          We all know that we’re in the digital era, where almost all children have access to the internet, opening ways for entertainment and learning. But it also opens access to serious threats, particularly online sexual abuse and exploitation. This is why the 2025 National Children's Month theme: “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!” ("End Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM): Fight for the Safety and Rights of Children!"), is crucial. It reminds us that while technology can be very beneficial for childrens entertainment, growth, and learning, it must also be a safe space where children’s rights are protected and secured. Through awareness, education, and laws, we can form a great society that protects chi...
