      My parent’s is someone I can be proud of, because they didn’t let me feel alone and not loved. I know this is a privilege that some don’t experience. They are there with me through happy times and sad ones. I love my parents and I know they love me too.        During mother’s day, which is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May, I greet my mother a “Happy mother’s day”. I didn’t do anything extravagant or give gifts, letters or such maybe, because I became used to not giving one or because I don’t have money? No matter what the reason, I believe that it’s the thought that counts. Greeting someone may be simple but some people might have a hard time doing it.  That simple greeting contains my emotion: gratitude, happiness, and many more. I hope she felt it too. Cherish what you have. It may mean little or nothing to you but some people long or lack it. Let’s show our love to our parents for everything they’ve done for us. Even s...

  Throughout the 3rd Quarter I learned further about html and web design, I also learned about Community Based Research. Through the activities, I learned more or discover more about the community I’m in.  Some of the challenges I’ve encountered is that lack of motivation, unstable internet connection, etc. These challenges are mostly self-dependent and as long as I push myself harder, I should be able to win against these challenges or problems.  Relaxation is good but it seems that I’m relaxing too much that I spent much more time to complete my modules compared to before, so, I’m trying to regain my focus and motivation in learning this past few days.  Moving on, I’ll try to get back my motivation and work much harder than before. I’ll continue to stay strong and safe this pandemic. References  https://wallpaperaccess.com/blue-sea

  Vaccines give protection to most people around the world. Vaccination should not be feared because it gives more benefit rather than harm. More than a year now, the spread of covid-19 is rampant that’s why experts developed vaccine to control the said virus, or totally eradicate it in the future. Vaccines contain weakened or inactive parts of a particular organism (antigen) that triggers the immune response within the body. The weakened version will not harm us as some people thinking of, instead, it will prepare the immune system to respond and fight the specific disease causing organism. Some Vaccines require multiple doses to allow the production of long lived antibodies and development of memory cells. In this way, our body is building up memory of the pathogen so as to rapidly fight it if exposed in the future.  No single vaccine provides 100% protection, so being vaccinated does not mean that we can throw caution to the wind and put ourselves and others at risks. L...

  Due to the pandemic, we cannot go outside our house nor do things we like to do. Everything is shrouded in gloom and worry and problems kept popping out.   Some problems against gender equality popped out this pandemic but we all know that women have great contributions in everyone’s lives. Women can do things men can do. Their participation in combating COVID-19 is greatly appreciated and the things they did are no less than men. As Filipino’s are known for their Tender, love and Care (TLC), even outside the country our services are praised. Women can be a hero too, someone who can proudly raise our flag up high.   Not only today but anytime, women can shine. Some participated in wars; some became leaders, some engineers and many other jobs. Even at home, women can shine. They do household chores, care for their children and allocate the money to expend wisely. But this didn’t mean that women are atop men, because men and women are equal. They both can exper...

  In April 9, 1942, the battle of Bataan ended. Lieutenant Normando Ildefonso Reyes informed the Philippines and the world, the message that Captain Salvador P. Lopez prepared from Malinta Tunnel in Corregidor, “Bataan has fallen”. The battle of Bataan lasted 93 days or four months after USAFFE retreated to Bataan. What followed afterwards is the March of 76, 000 prisoners of war and was known as the Bataan Death March.  Because of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, there were no ships capable of delivering reinforcements to Bataan. The Japanese navy blockaded Bataan and nearby Corregidor, preventing any food, ammunition, or medicine from reaching the troops. Without supplies, they couldn’t hold out for long. As medical supplies ran out, diseases ravaged the Allied ranks, confining 10, 000 men to the two open- air jungle hospitals for wounds and illnesses and less than half of the remaining forces is considered capable of battling or effective in combat. The Japanese commen...
