Restoration is the Solution

Image
 Presently, the Earth's ecosystem is way out of balance. According to statistics, 45 percent of the world's wildlife and 12 percent of plant species have declined. These statistics show that the number of trees, tigers, lions, deer, and other wonderful wildlife among us is steadily declining or on the verge of extinction. As a result, the natural balance has deteriorated. As a natural outcome, it is critical to preserve animals, trees, and plants in order to maintain the balance of life on Earth. Our ecosystem and environment are no longer the same as they've ever been. The balance of biological and physical systems has deteriorated as a result of our exploitation of the environment. Such as indiscriminate deforestation, hunting of wild animals, pollution of air and water as a result of industrial development, an increase in global warming as a result of the use of hazardous equipment, and many other factors. We must recreate the same conditions, or we will perish in such a

Philippine Independence Day : Domination against colonizers

Image
 In the intervening decades, the Philippines was colonized by a variety of countries for varying lengths of time. As a result, the country and its citizens lacked the ability to govern themselves. This was a Spanish colony that lasted for over three hundred years. A lot of things happened, including Filipinos being forced to submit and be ruled by the Spanish. Independence Day is one of the most important dates in Philippine history because it commemorates the country's independence from Spanish rule on June 12, 1898. Every year on June 12, Filipinos celebrate it. National Independence Day is more than just a holiday; it is the day on which Filipinos remember the bravery and sacrifices of soldiers and heroes who fought for our motherland. Their courage in the face of adversity and dedication to liberating the country from colonizers should be remembered by the generation of today and the future generations. These heroic acts should be cherished in the same way that we cherish the g

This is the third festival of this city that we celebrate every year, the first is the Vigan Cityhood anniversary featuring the Longganisa Festival on January 22, and the Vigan City fiesta on January 25 in honor of the city’s patron saint, Saint Paul the Apostle. Last last years without the invisible enemy of us which is the pandemic, they usually celebrate Binatbatan Festival in culminating the Binatbatan street dancing, which started in front of the Vigan Cathedral, and ended along Crisologo Street, where old houses were festooned with abel iloco decor for the house decorating contest. The term binatbatan refers to the first step of the weaving process, wherein the cotton balls are separated from the seeds by beating them with the use of two

(Thematic Output) Change Starts Within Us

The photo collage was made by the writer.   Empowering women 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 pleas
