REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

Image
“HERO WAYS, ZERO WASTE” I think it’s safe to say that we’ve all heard about the three R’s of waste management; reduce, reuse, and recycle. But do you know why they are in that order and what each one entails? In order to fully understand the meanings of the three R’s we need to talk about the impact solid waste has on the earth annually. Reduce As you can likely deduce from its being the first of the three R’s, reducing is the best way to go about managing solid waste. It’s quite simple really, the less you use the less waste you will produce. This R causes the most unease in consumers because we tend to think we need to cut back on everything or we won’t be making an impact. This is not the case, though. By just doing a few things to cut back you can noticeably reduce your waste without totally altering your lifestyle. Reuse The second R is for reuse. This one is becoming more and more popular with the surge of upcycling and craft projects all over the web. If you reuse something

Final Reflection

Image
It's already near to the end of this school year. This fourth quarter, we learned about Microsoft front-page, web designs, and blogging. I can say that it's a bit hard for me since I have difficulty in learning. Even so, I still managed to make my own flyer that promotes our school, ISNHS which was given as a task for us to learn more on editing. Another things is we learned to develop our skills. I also learned something that's outside from the topic. That is to cherish every memories we made. I will surely miss learning ICT, and of course, the Grade 10 SSC students which will forever have a special place in my heart. Last but not the least, I realized this quarter that since my high school life will end very soon, I should be able to develop my own learning ways to be able to survive and to maximize my future. I should not also forget to mention that hard work, responsibility, suffering, stress and feelings of hopelessness are normal to students like me. ICT is useful and

My First Hero

  Father’s Day is commemorated in most parts of the world on the third Sunday of June. This year it is being observed on June 20. Father’s Day is a celebration of fathers, honouring fatherhood, paternal bonds and the role fathers play in society. First proposed in 1909, this day is an opportunity to show your dad how much he means to you and the role he has played in shaping your life. Father’s Day acknowledges and celebrates the contribution of fathers to their own families and society at large. On this day, children get a chance to appreciate their fathers and father figures -all the people who have played a vital role in their lives. It can be emotionally, mentally or even financially. It is the day one recognizes the importance of the role a father plays in one’s life. To show their love for their fathers or father-like figures, children buy or make presents and write and draw cards. Some also spend the day engaging in activities that can be enjoyed with one’s father, like hiking

Araw ng Kasarinlan

Philippine Revolution, (1896–98), Filipino independence struggle that, after more than 300 years of Spanish colonial rule, exposed the weakness of Spanish administration but failed to evict Spaniards from the islands. The Spanish-American War brought Spain’s rule in the Philippines to a close in 1898 but precipitated the Philippine-American War, a bloody war between Filipino revolutionaries and the U.S. Army. Numerous quasi-religious uprisings had punctuated the long era of Spanish sovereignty over the Philippines, but none possessed sufficient coordination to oust the Europeans. During the 19th century, however, an educated Filipino middle class emerged and with it a desire for Philippine independence. Opposition before 1872 was primarily confined to the Filipino clergy, who resented the Spanish monopoly of power within the Roman Catholic Church in the islands. In that year the abortive Cavite Mutiny, a brief uprising against the Spanish, served as an excuse for renewed Spanish repres

Mom Knows Best

Mother is the one who is probably endowed with all the power. No creature in this Universe can be as powerful as a mother!! She can manage and control everything in any situation. In other words, God has given her the power to take up all the affairs of the world. Celebrating Mother’s day for a day is not enough to thank every single mother in this world. No one can replace her at any cost. Everyone should shower lots of love and care to her for their sacrifices. Every year, we celebrate the second Sunday of May as Mother’s day. Our mothers are like a security blanket to us because she saves us from all problems. She never regards her own problems and listens to us all time. In order to give her respect, the second Sunday of May month has been dedicated to her to celebrate mother’s day. This event is of great importance to us and our mothers. On this day we should keep our mothers happy and never make them sad. We should always obey her and do work properly. She always wants to make

Viva Vigan Binatbatan Festival of the Arts celebrated from the last week of April to the primary week of May. It was originally the Feast of the Natives that started out on May 3, 1883, in line with the writings of Damaso King, a famous Vigan historian.     The Binatbatan festival originated from Vigan's abel weaving industry, which existed even before the Spanish colonized the Philippines. It comes from the word batbat, which is a bamboo stick used to separate cotton pods from a tall tree called kapas sanglay. The word "kapas" in kapas sanglay means "cotton" in Ilokano. This festival featured the binatbatan dance. This festival is a tribute to the Ilocanos of the Old. Binatbatan is an Ilocano dance that depicts the first step in the Abel Iloko weaving process.

That is why some other dancers

My Goodness, My Womens !

  As COVID-19 continues to disrupt the global economy and society, it becomes more evident that the pandemic is affecting women and men differently and that gender-balanced responses are necessary. Governments and humanitarian organisations have come together in creating strategies for responding to the challenges arising from the pandemic, including the gendered impacts that pose as a threat to the safety, welfare and economic standing of women worldwide. In more ways than one, the COVID-19 pandemic stands in the way of Women’s Economic Empowerment. Around the world and throughout history, women have come together in different types of groups to offer each other support and address barriers together. These groups have created resilience, often in the absence of other safety nets, and fostered opportunities for women and their families.  Women empowerment mainly refers to the practice of making women independent so that they can make their own decisions as well as handle their lives wi
