Pag-aalaga at Pag-aaruga sa Lahat ng mga Bata

  "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan." - Dr. Jose P. Rizal

     Sa ilalim ng Republic Act 10661, ang buwan ng Nobyembre ay idineklarang "National Children's Month." Ang deklarasyong ito ay gumugunita sa hinangong "Convention on the Rights of the Child by the United Nations General Assembly" noong Nobyembre 20,1989 at gustong makintal ito sa ating mga Pilipino. Ang tema sa taong ito ay, "Isulong: Tamang Pag-aaruga para sa Lahat ng Bata."

 

     Mahirap maging isang guro, inhinyero, doktor o isang abogado. Totoong walang madaling propesyon dito sa mundo dahil lahat ay dapat paghirapan. Pinaplano ng karamihan ang pagsalang sa mga hamong ito.

     Responsibilidad ng nanay at tatay ang tamang pag-aaruga sa anak sa mabuti o maging sa pinakamasaklap na panahon. Susubukin nito ang haba ng pagtitiyaga at pagtitiis ng isang tao nang walang kapalit na sahod. Ang tamang pag-aaruga ay dapat simulan sa pagkasilang. Dapat maglaan ng sapat na oras at panahon ang mga magulang para sa bata. Nararapat na magsimula sa tahanan ang tamang edukasyon, asal at disiplina upang maging mabuti at kapaki-pakinabang na mamamayan ang mga bata. Kung lalaking disiplinado ang bata ay magiging inspirasyon at marangal na ehemplo siya sa iba.

     Nakabatay sa tamang pag-aaruga ang kaunlaran at kahihinatnan ng isang bata. Pati na ang kaunlaran ng isang bansa. Kaya dapat maayos ang pag-aaruga ng mga magulang. Ang pag-aaruga ay importante at napakahalaga.

Think Before You Click

     Tuwing buwan ng Nobyembre, ipinagdiriwang natin ang "Filipino Values Month." Ito ay ipinagdiriwang taon-taon. Ito ay ipinagdiriwang upang ipalala at imulat sa atin ang mga pagpapahalaga sa ating buhay. Ang tema sa taong ngayon ay, "Mapanuring Paggamit ng Gadget: Tungo sa Mapagkalingang Ugnayan sa Pamilya at Kapwa." Ang mga gadgets na ito ay palagi nating ginagamit, araw-araw at halos minu-minuto.

     Napakalaking papel ang ginagampanan ng mga gadgets at teknolohiya sa pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay natin. Nakakatuwang ispin na napapagaan at napapadali ang mga gawain ng tao dahil sa mga ito. Makikita talaga ang pag-unlad ng teknolohiya at pagbabago. Ngunit may masama ring epekto ang mga ito kapag ginamit ito sa maling paraan. May mga pag-aaral ding nagsasabi na nagiging sanhi ang mga ito ng pagbabago sa pag-uugali at paglaganap ng mga ilang sakit. Mahalaga ang mapanuring paggamit ng gadgets. Ang mga gadgets ang tulay o daluyan ng maganda at mapagkalingang ugnayan sa pamilya at gadget. Dapat nating alamin kung tama ba o mali ang ating paggamit sa mga gadgets. Nakabubuti ba ang gagawin ko sa aking sarili at sa aking kapwa?
     Kaya dapat mapanuri tayo sa paggamit ng mga gadgets. Ang mga gadgets ay may mga mabuting epekto at meron din namang masamang epekto. Dapat nating pag-isipan mabuti ang bawat hakbang at gagawin kung ito ba ay tama o hindi. Ika nga nila sa Ingles, "Think before you click!"

Reading is the Key to Success

     "Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers" - Charles W. Elio.

     This month we are celebrating the English month with the theme, "Pagbasa: Susi sa Magandang Kinabukasan." This theme focuses on reading. Reading is fundamental to functioning in today's society. It is a vital skill in finding a good job. There are reports and memos which must be read and responded to. Poor reading skills increases the amount of time it takes to absorb and react in the workplace. Reading is very important because it develops the mind. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability.

     A child's reading skills are important to their success in school as they will allow them to access the breadth of the curriculum and improve their communication and language skills. Reading can be a fun, wonderful and imaginative time for children, which opens doors to all kinds of new worlds for them.

     "The pen is mightier than the sword." Ideas written down have changed the destiny of men and nations for better or worse. We need to read and research to build on the good ideas and expose the bad ideas before they bring devastation and destruction. By reading, we can be armed in this never-ending, life-and-death struggle.

     Reading is very important. Truly that reading is the key for a better future. The fact of the power of written ideas communicated through reading is a foundational reason why some governments oppose free and honest communication. The more we read, the more we are educated and the more we discover new things. So, drop everything and read.

Second Grading Reflection

     This grading has been a remarkable and amazing grading. Many challenges came and we surpassed them. This grading was amazing and I have enjoyed more. I enjoyed this second grading with my classmates. In the subject TLE, I have learn many concepts and ideas.

     Many concepts were taught to us. One of the concepts I knew is the internet access. In the internet access, it is divided into two. Now, all of us are bloggers. These are the Local Area Network (LAN) and Wireless Broadband Access. Next is creating our own web design. And also creating html for the web design. And also, we continued to publish more articles. The challenge is that I am slow in typing. And also, I haven't finished the exercises. Through the help of our teacher in TLE, Mrs. Vera Cruz I was able to surpass these challenges. And to my fellow classmates for teaching me the right thing to do and on what to do.

     I will continue to post in my blog account. I will continue to become a blogger. I will also continue to have the references below my article. I will apply all the concepts our teacher had taught. I will continue to make html for our own web design. This grading has been an amazing and good journey.

Building a World of Universal Rights and Dignity

     United Nations was founded on October 24, 1945. This month of October, the United Nations Month is celebrated. The theme for this month is "Coming together with those furthest behind build an inclusive world of universal rights and dignity." The headquarters of the United Nations is in New York City, New York. The President for UN today is Maria Fernanda Espinosa.

     The commemoration of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty will take place on October 17, 2018. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is important to recall the fundamental connection between extreme poverty and human rights. The International Day for the Eradication can strongly complement such initiatives. The United Nations aims to eradicate and end poverty around the world. It also aims to give the rights of every person. Nowadays, the rights of a person is not given.

     The creation of United Nations is a good way to help every country in the world. To help each other and build strong bonds and connections. I hope that the United Nations will surely end poverty. And also to give every person their rights. Happy United Nations Month!

Filipinos: Strong and Happy

     Resilience is the ability to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens. The Philippines is situated in the Pacific Ring of Fire. As expected, many natural disasters like earthquakes are experienced. It is also beside the Pacific Ocean where most of the typhoons were formed there. Because of those disasters, Filipinos become resilient. But, does being a resilient a good trait or characteristic Filipinos should have?

     Despite the staggering impact from Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines, especially Tacloban, in November 2013 and the 7.2 magnitude Bohol Earthquake just weeks before that, the country managed to sustain its economic momentum as its Growth Domestic Product (GDP) finished the year up by a rate of 7.2%. Filipinos have repeatedly been touted as reilient, ever happy, and even bulletproof. Even in the poorest typhoon-hit areas, it only takes a day or two for people to start rebuilding their homes. We Filipinos want to turn the negative into a positive all at once. This is a wonderful trait to have, to be self-reliant and to be a positive thinker. Independence and self-reliance are all fine and good, except that Filipinos know how much we pay our taxes and we know where that money really goes. The good part is we make our way and even earn a living.

     Being resilient is a trait one must have. The resiliency of Filipinos is a trait that we are very proud of. We always smile even during and after a disaster. No one can pull us down. We are Filipinos. We smile even our toughest problems. We smile no matter what happens. Proud to be a Filipino!

Pagmamahal sa Ating Wika

     Tuwing buwan ng Agosto ay ipinagdiriwang natin ang Buwan ng Wika, na kung saan ay pinapahalagahan natin ang ating pambansang wika.  Ngayong taon ang tema ay "Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik." Hindi maitatanggi na sa panahon ngayon ay nakikita na ang pagbabago. Lahat ng apeto sa ating buhay ay umunlad na, pati na ang ating sariling wika. Ang ating bansa ay isa sa mga bansang umuunlad.
     
     Ang saliksik ay nangangahulugang pagsasaliksik at sa wikang ingles ay research. Isa sa mahalagang katangian nito ay nagagamit ito para sa pagpapaunlad ng kaalaman gaya ng saliksik. Nakabase ang tema sa memorandum na ginawa ng DepEd at sa tulong ng Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino. Ito rin ay kumikilala sa wikang Filipino bilang midyum o lenggwahe sa paglikha at pagpapalaganap ng pambansang karunungan at kaunlaran sa ating bansa. Sa pamamagitan ng tema, layon ng Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF) na palaganapin ang wikang Filipino sa iba’t ibang larangan ng karunungan, lalong-lalo na sa agham at matematika. Sa panahon ngayon, ang English ang ginagamit nating midyum sa ating pananaliksik. Hindi makakaila na ito ang ating ginagamit dahil sa pandaigdigan ang pagsasaliksik. Sa tema, hinihikayat nito na gamitin natin ang wikang Filipino sa iba't ibang pamamaraan gaya ng pagtuturo, paggawa ng thesis, paggawa ng blog at iba pa. Nais ng KWF na habang papalago ang kaalaman sa siyensa at matematika, kinakailangan na lalago rin ang ating wika - ang wikang Filipino.

     Dapat nating mahalin ang ating sariling wika. Dapat ay isagawa natin ito. Maaaring ang pagmahal ay sa pamamagitan ng paggamit nito. Sa tema, kailangan nating gamitin ang wikang Filipino sa pagsasaliksik. Sabi nga ni Dr. Jose Rizal, "Ang di marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa ang amoy sa malansang isda."

Duterte's 3rd Message

     On Monday, July 23, 2018, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte delivered its 3rd State of the Nation Address (SONA). This is an annual address by the president of the Philippines. It is delivered every fourth Monday of July at the Pienary Session Hall of the Batasang Pambansa Complex in Bataan Hills, Quezon City, Metro Manila as mandated by the 1987 Constitution. It serves as a means to inform the nation about its present economic, political, and social condition. It is often broadcasted.

     This year's SONA, it lasted only for 50 minutes. One of the points he mentioned is the drug war. This program is the one he first mentioned. Next is the corruption, in which he said he had to fire "friends" due to corruption. Then the Marawi siege in which he recognized the soldiers and police who fought and died in Marawi City. He also mentioned the Boracay closure in which he justified the island's closure as an environmental protection measure. Also, the Disaster Management, in which he calls the congress to pass a law making a national land use policy. What I can say about is good. This SONA is good because our dear president didn't say any bad or malicious word.

     In closing, there are many points he had talk about. His points are corruption, drug war and many more. In this SONA, he is good. He didn't say any bad or malicious word. Congratulations, Mr. President! Bravo!

Make Planting a Habit

     Every month of July, we are celebrating the Nutrition Month. This is annually celebrated. "Ugaliing Magtanim, Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin." This is the theme for the Nutrition Month 2018. This theme is created by Ms. Julie Ann Q. Colipano, a contestant from Valencia City, Bukidnon. Out of the 142 entries that the contestants submitted from all over the country, this was selected by National Nutrition Council. The central theme surrounds on the idea of family food gardening.

     This theme focuses on food production at home through the family's own garden. This is the food planted at home. It aims to improve the healthy food consumption of Filipino food security or to be self-sufficient as possible with backyard gardening. Having food gardens can help improve the family as well as the community's food security. This theme states that we need to plant in our home so that there will be a source of our food. You may also sell the vegetables and fruits as an additional source of income. Not only that, you are safe. You will eat fruits and vegetables which are source of nutrients which our body needs.

     In general, the central theme surrounds on the idea of family food gardening. This focuses on food production at home. It's not all about the farmers concerned on the theme, it also concerns us, ordinary people. It concerns to plant on our own garden in our home. We must not only plant but we must also influence others to plant. We need to plant for us to live.

Freedom!

     

     One of the most significant event in the Philippine History is the Philippine Independence. On June 12, 1898 in Kawit, Cavite, the Philippines finally got its independence against the Spaniards. It is done by General Emilio Aguinaldo, president of the First Republic of the Philippines, by waving the flag as the sign of freedom here in the Philippines. We celebrate this event in honor and to remember the sacrifices of our courageous and brave ancestors and heroes. They fought the Spaniards, who colonize the Philippines for more than 300 years, with all their might and best. We celebrate this event as a special holiday and it is annually celebrated.

     In the Philippines, this is a special holiday. There are no classes in all levels in public and private schools. So, many students are happy because there are no classes. There are also no works and offices. But we must join hand-in-hand and be united in celebrating this event. The main event is the raising of flag where the president is participating and the parade of the police and military in Manila headed by the president, followed by a speech and a 21-gun salute. The importance of this event is to thank , to remember and to honor our heroes and ancestors who bravely fought for our freedom. The Filipinos were then the slaves when we were colonized by the Spaniards with the help of our heroes like Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, and other heroes, who are behind the success, we finally claimed our independence.

     This event is important to all of us Filipinos. This is the day where we thank and honor our ancestors and heroes. This is the day where we value and give importance to their sacrifices. We must not be scared to other countries because we are born brave, it is in our blood. We Filipinos must celebrate this event with pride, honor and joy.
