What is the True Essence of Christmas?

         We give and receive gifts on Christmas but do we really know the true essence of Christmas? We all know that Christmas is the season of joy, peace, love and forgiveness. What does Christmas means to you? Is it really just exchanging of gifts? or is it the wide smile you receive with a joyful greeting? Christmas is the time where family gets together and bond with each other.

         The essence of Christmas is not gifts, is certainly not goodies. Not even the things that you do. Not the decoration that makes your house look good. The essence of Christmas lies in the name of almighty Lord above. For he has the power to change the World. The true essence of Christmas is spreading love not only on loved ones but also on every single person around you. Christmas for me is being with my family, eating together, bonding with each other and filling the house with joy and love. The essence of Christmas is not measured on how tall the Christmas tree is, on how bright the lanterns are, and on how many food were prepared. Thus, the essence of Christmas is found on wide smiles of family members. On how they celebrate even just in a simple way. The true essence of Christmas is having a complete family, a complete family that celebrates a memorable day with a lot of love and joy.
\
         May this Christmas bring you and your family joy, peace and happiness in your life and gladen your heart. may you realize the deepest value and essence of this festival. stay blessed and be a blessing for others. Merry Christmas to all.

Science Month Celebration

           Every year, Science month celebration is conducted on Ilocos Sur National High School every September. Every year, a different theme is formulated, and this year's theme for the Science Month Celebration is "Wavefront: Accentuating Potentials, Activating Technological Advancements."

            Electromagnetism defined as “magnetism produced by an electric current”. In other words it is the electricity part of what holds ourselves and every bit of matter in the universe together. This source of universal “glue” is found within atoms themselves. As the name sounds, there are two different forces within electromagnetism - the electric force and the magnetic force. Before the early part of the last century, scientist studied electricity and magnetism as different sciences. No one knew the connection between them. Electromagnetism was found almost by accident, that a” flow of electric current (a movement of electrical charge) creates a magnetic force” to use the words of Jack R. White, author of The hidden World of Forces. 

             For me, the discovery is very important because nowadays, Science is being developed. With these knowledge, different data are inserted in minds of many, making them "Science Minded". Especially for the students, we can make sure that they will grow with great minds and have knowledge about what is happening. 

My Second Quarter with ICT 10

          From the firat quarter, we learned alot from Mrs. Vera Cruz. Now, Second quarter i quite harder  than First Quarter. But I learned a lot about Hypertext Markup Language or HTML and other lessons.

           At first, I am not familiar with these lessons but as the quarter goes on, I am learning a lot. With the activities conducted. I can say that I am developing skills in using HTML tags. I was challenged on making HTML files through different exercises. I and my classmates are surely benefited with these editing skills. And we also published blogs about themes of celebrations conducted in our school.

           ICT 10 is not yet finished, more challenges will come for sure. But with these challenges, our knowledge will be assured. And with these lessons, our skills will be developed and more knowledge will enter our minds.

United Nations

            Every year, United Nations is celebrated to commemorate the union of nations around the World. We are all given privelege to celebrate this event because of thw union made by countries to make the world a better place to live in. 

              Universal rights cover a diverse set of rights that will benefit mankind. They are inclusive of human rights where everyone is treated equally, regardless of one's social status. Second, there is 'dignity' which encompasses self-respect and self-esteem, among others.  United Nations have given the countries the freedom to globalized with other countries. So why not we consider this event memorable. 

               United Nations Celebration is one of the prestigious events around the world, So why not with these kind of events, we can make the world a better place to live in. 

Gurong Pilipino, Turo mo, Kinabukasan ko

           This year's Teacher's Month celebration is themed "Gurong Pilipino, Turo mo, Kinabukasan mo. Ilocos Sur National High School conducted the celebration of Teacher's month from September 5 to October 5, 2018. Being a teacher is a profession that is quite hard. But everyone that became teachers never regret having that profession.

            One of the most prestigious events conducted every year is the Teacher's month celebration, where all teachers are treated special, given gifts and even greeted. Being a teacher is quite hard because a teacher must focused on teaching, on everything that requires studies and time.

             Teacher's Month Celebration must be granted with these treatments because everyone knows the struggle a teacher is experiencing but being payed by seeing their students achieve their dreams and make their life successful.

A wide Smile: A new Hope

          Resilience is the ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change. Philippines is known to be a Calamity prone country because of it's location, the Pacific ring of Fire, and the Philippines is located west of the Pacific Ocean where typhoons are often formed. We all know that Filipinos are resilient when it comes to these situations. But after the disaster, is it easy for the people to recover from the damages caused by disaster?

          In the year 2003, the Philippines experienced Typhoon Yolanda that caused more than 6000 deaths and left 35.5 Billion Pesos of damage. It isn't easy to recover from calamities like what happened on the victims of Yolanda because right after the calamity, financial support is needed to bring back the damaged goods. Filipinos are said to be resilient, each and everyone is encouraged to help and contribute for the recovery of the placed affected by the calamity. Smile is all what Filipinos have every time a disaster hit the country. Filipinos smile no matter what happens because people know that these smiles will bring new hope after a dark cloud. " bayanihan" can be seen in times of disasters, Fire, you can see people carrying pails and water just to stop the flame, Flood, people can be seen on roads wearing smiles while carrying their things going to the evacuation center. Filipinos are known for being resilient before, during and right after a calamity.

          Filipinos are very proud of being resilient. Smile can be seen before, during and right afte a calamity because Filipinos know that these smile brings a new hope as they recover from the calamity. Filipinos believe that nothing can pull down their country, Philippines because of their smile even the toughest problems and the strongest winds.

First Quarter is done, we've learned a lot of thing for the past two months, We've learned about Internet's History and things about blogging and blogs.

      I browse, I search,I communicate, I play and all of these are part of the internet. Blogging helped me to construct articles and explore the internet. Well, my First Quarter life with ICT 10 is like a plane, travelling around the world, the world of internet. I've also encountered challenges and one of them is I don't have much knowledge in constructing essays and reaction papers, but with the help of the internet, I was able to search facts to be added to my articles. Every now and then, I still don't know where did Internet came from, but we tackled about the History of the Internet. I was able to know the people behind the development of the Internet.

     As a student, I can share this knowledge on my friends or maybe schoolmates. The experience of Grade 10 ICT first quarter is unforgettable.

SONA 2018: A Reaction Paper

          Every year, the President of the Philippines is conducting State of the Nation Address. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte conducted his third State of the Nation Address at the Batasang Pambansa on July 23, 2018. He focuses on the problems the Philippines is facing right now, most especially the war of Drugs. as Filipinos, it is expected for the country to have changes and development. How can the President solve the problems mentioned on the State of The Nation Address? How can SONA help in the manipulation of peace and order of the country?

        War on Drugs, Corruption, Marawi siege, these are some of the problems mentioned by Pres. Duterte during his third SONA. " The war against illegal drugs is far from over... This is why the illegal drugs war will not be sidelined. Instead, it will be as relentless and chilling, if you will, as on the day it began." a statement of Pres. Duterte as he discuss the unrelenting drug war. He had promised to end the use of drug within 6 months, but is there any improvement? Duterte's tough stance on corruption has cost many government officials their jobs but at least 16 officials who have been accused of corruption or abuse of public funds were reappointed, retained in another capacity, or promoted within the government. I am not against Duterte's plan on how he can control the country, on how he discipline his countrymen. Because as a Filipino citizen, if I were the President of the Philippines, it would be a great pleasure to have the job of disciplining my countrymen and controlling the whole country. " Your concern ishuman rights, mine is human lives" the statement of the president regarding of the people using drugs especially the youth of today.

        Boracay closure is also one of the problems mentioned by President Duterte, well the problem is not with the island, it's more on the discipline of people going on the island. " I could not allow this decay to continue", told Mr. President while discussing the problem in Boracay. This statement marks up the practice of maintaining the orderliness and cleanliness of the country.

        It is important for the government to make ways how to properly control the whole country and how to discipline themselves and their countrymen. It would be a great contribution on the country's development and improvement.

A Habit of Planting Means a Habit of Caring

            Prices of fruits and vegetables aren't reasonable, and how can people make sure the safety and cleanliness of the products? Agriculture is known to be one of the most significant economic activities. It involves the production of plants, livestock and other agriculture products. How can people provide safe, clean and cheap food for the people? this year's Nutrition Month theme, "Ugaliing Magtanim, Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin" decribes the best way to produce safe food products and gain nutrition.

           "Ugaliing Magtanim, Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin" is encouraging people to plant healthy crops and to eat healthy crops. "Ugaliing Magtanim", is not only about farmers putting effort just to feed people with healthy foods, but it also encourage people to plant even on their backyards, it would be a great help not only for the family but also for the farmers. farmers want us to grow strong and fit by planting and supplying us food to eat. farmers are expecting that people will consume their crops right. People must practice planting at home, vegetables and fruit that can be source of nutrients. "Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin" means the significance of planting such crops. We can get nutrients from the crops we've planted because we can make sure that the plants we'll be eating is clean and safe to digest.

Letter to the President

Hon. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte
Office of the President
Malacañang Palace
J.P Laurel St., San Miguel, Manila, Philippines


Dear Mr. President,

         I know that being a President of the Republic of the Philippines is both an honor and responsibility. It is known to be the most challenging role in the country. We all know that many conflicts and problems are being faced by our country nowadays, and we all know that you have the power and courage to end these conflicts. I, as a concerned citizen of our country, what i am expecting on you since you've been the president of the Philippines is that you can or you will end the conflicts the Philippines is encountering right now. As you promised, you'll end the use of Drugs in our country, but why is that there are still news going viral everyday about Drugs. When will you end these issues about deaths? Shooting incidents, war on drugs, and even accidents, why are these happening in our country? What I am hoping on your last few years of term is that you'll promote some programs that are concerned with these problems. Vehicular accidents are timely in our province, Ilocos Sur because of reckless driving. I hope that you, as a president and has the power to end these conflicts, I expect that at the end of your term, Philippines will be a drug-free country, the Philippines will be more- ptoductive and the Philippines will be an accident-free country. With your words and cooperation of the Filipinos, the Philippines will surely be a progressive country of the future. May you continue your good work and I wish you luck on your remaining years of service for our country. Godbless Mr. President.

                                                                                                               Sincerely Yours,
                                                                                                              Jace Ivan Tolentino

Why Do We Celebrate Independence Day?

 Why Do We Celebrate Independence Day?

          Independence Day, one of the most significant dates in the Philippines' history. Filipinos celebrate Independence Day annually on June 12 because it marks the nation's independence from the spanish rule. The Philippine Flag was raised and its national anthem was first played for the first time in 1898. But do we really own this Archipelago called Philippines? Do we need to celebrate Independence Day?

          A giant flag of the Philippines was raised for the first time and together with the playing of the Philippines' national anthem entitled "Lupang Hinirang" in 1898. In 1962, President Diosdado Macapagal issued Proclamation No. 28 moving the Celebration of Independence day to June 12. We celebrate Independence Day annually to commemorate the people behind the freedom of the Philippines, celebrating the Independence of the Philippines from the colonization of Spain. We need to celebrate Independence Day to give or show deep gratitude or to recognize the people beyond the freedom of the Philippines. We must show our deep gratitude to those heroes who brought freedom to the Philippines.

          Independence day simply explains on each of the Filipinos that a freedom for our country must be saved from the arms of whoever tried to colonized the Philippines. Commemorating heroes by celebrating Independence Day reminds the achievement and freedom brought to the Philippines.
