  Another quarter has ended, and despite the fact that we are nearing the end of the academic year with pandemic, it was quite stressful and intense. I didn't notice, one moment I was stressing over my school works, and the next I was aimlessly looking through my phone. In our lesson in ICT this third quarter, we tackled about Community Based Research, which is familiar to us because of our subject Research II. It appears to be a review of what we learned about researching and how we might put it to use in our daily lives. The internet is a huge aid, especially when it comes to our issue, because some information is just a click away, and all I have to do is reconstruct it in my own words. In terms of other subjects, I'm delighted I was able to properly adjust, particularly in those that need computations like in Math and Basic Electronics. Composing literature works, on the other hand is still a bit exhausting because my mind can't always build a proper sentence, causing ...

 The Covid-19 pandemic affected almost every aspect of life, causing global economies to slow, altering how we live and bond with our loved ones, and pressuring healthcare systems to their crisis point. To stop the virus from spreading, governments all over the world have been forced to impose serious constraints on human activity. COVID-19 has the potential to cause severe and even life-threatening complications. It's impossible to predict how COVID-19 will affect you. If you get sick, you may risk causing harm to your friends, family, and others. Before any vaccine including COVID-19 vaccines, clinical trials must verify that they are safe and effective. These vaccines being made of must be authorized and approved first. A Covid-19 vaccine's proven and potential benefits must outweigh its known and potentiated risks. Now that efficient COVID-19 vaccines have been produced and are being delivered to the general public, it is important for people to know the benefits of the vac...

The Fall of Bataan is now remembered as a tragic story. However, unlike The Shining or American Psycho, this is not a story based on a novel. It is a tragedy that will live on in the collective memory of our history. The Araw ng Kagitingan, or Day of Valour, honors Filipino and American soldiers who fought Japanese forces during World War II. The ability or right to act, talk, or think as one wishes without hindrance or restriction, freedom. It has the ability to keep us alive in the life we most want. It represents a new vision of not giving up and continuing to pursue the dream of sustainability and optimism. Many Filipinos laid down their lives for the liberation of our nation and its people, seventy-nine years ago. The country has seen a tragic loss of many lives, widespread property damage, a pause in economic development, and a conflict that has robbed children of the opportunity to grow up in a peaceful environment. They bravely faced danger and fear in the name of allowing us t...

Women's empowerment refers to giving women the ability to make decisions for themselves. Women have endured a huge amount at the hands of men over the years. They were classified as if they didn't exist in ancient times. As if all rights, including the right to vote, belonged to men. Women became more aware of their influence as time passed. The revolution for women's empowerment started there. Women have always fought for their freedom, fair rights, and equality since the dawn of creation. Gender stereotypes are so impervious that it takes years for them to be gradually eradicated from our culture. It still exists today, but there has been a significant change in how people perceive a woman's actions. Being a woman is challenging enough without having to contend with misogynists on a regular basis or hearing offensive comments if anyone attempts to speak up for themselves. Women are not objects, we weren't created for the pleasures and desires of others. Women face...

  Lent has traditionally been a time to reflect on Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, to fast, and to make some necessary changes in one's life. It was also a time to do good deeds in the world and bring healing and hope. The forty days leading up to Easter reflect Jesus' time in the desert before his crucifixion. It can also be a time to live and prepare, in addition to going deeper inside. Also, a time to live and preach hope, particularly in times of darkness and despair, as many people do in our time. The great love God has for us at all times, particularly through the creation, pain, death, and resurrection of Jesus for our redemption, is the foundation of our hope. Authorities have assured that the celebration of Lenten Season this year will continue despite the COVID-19 virus still emerging and a continuous rise in the number of cases, but that safety measures will be implemented to ensure the people's safety and well-being. Face masks and face shields are nee...
