Lesson Learned

 As this 2nd quarter ends, it embarked and leaved a new beginning. A whole new lessons and activities that provides a new and improved knowledge that have something to do with our mindset. 

It made me understand more the lessons, that it is not just about listening, but it is about knowing such the: elements, guidelines and many more about the lesson.

This will remain as it is to be known in the future, as this holds a very significant structure in out mind.

"ICT is not only the future of our children's education it is the present; and we need to make the investment in ICT now!"

It's not women, it's weMEN

 

“Women are the real architects of society.”

Women are like a bag of tea, you can't tell how strong she is until you pour a hot water. 

This state that women can't only be a women, however she is a women who's composed with woMEN itself.   

The rhythm it give is how it does in every second of life, they are rarely known, they are invisible, but if we put it aligned in the center we'll see the difference. 

It is not just about the gender, sometimes it is about the ability and how you can see. It is the society. Somehow, it grows in the mind of the humanity that every women is a human. It is something that we can look forward to, something that we should compliment too.

We celebrate Women's Month to remind everyone of the achievements of women  throughout the years in our culture and society, and why its important to study them and their important moments in history.

Who are we?

The decrees that have been passed fail to encompass all the needs of the indigenous people primarily because of failure in implementation and sole focus on the land and domains only.

Because of this, a more comprehensive law is needed that "seeks to stop prejudice against indigenous people through recognition of certain rights over their ancestral lands, and to live in accordance recognize and protect the rights of the indigenous people not only to their ancestral domain  but to social justice and human rights, self-determination and empowerment, and their cultural integrity," This then gave birth to movements for a comprehensive law that will protect not only the lands, but human rights of the Filipino indigenous people.

IPRA, formerly known as Ancestral Domain Bill, was first filed in the Congress sometime in 1987 under the Senate Bill No. 909 authored by Senator Santanina Rasul, Senator Joseph Estrada and Senator Alberto Romulo, during the 8th Congress, but was never enacted into law. In the 9th Congress, Senator Rasul introduced Senate Bill No. 1029 and Senator Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo introduced Senate Bill No. 1849. However, the bill was never sponsored and deliberated upon on the floor.

Despite difficult hurdles and amendments enacted in the Congress that nearly brought the movement to its death, the House of Representatives finally approved the bill late in September 1997. President Fidel V. Ramos signed it on October 29, 1997 officially making it Republic Act No. 8371 Indigenous People's Rights Act of 1997, which aims to "Recognize, Protect and Promote the Rights of Indigenous cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPS) and for other Purposes."

As this act were implemented, its was a good thing for those who are in the state of indigenous people. For the record, August is the month for these people, as they are the people who preserve the last culture.

The Biggest Weapon

Over the past two months, six successive tropical cyclones have battered the Philippines, displacing over 2.9 million people, destroying 79,000 homes, schools and health facilities. While relatively low death toll was attributed to government-led-emptive evacuations and disaster management, more than 13 million affected individuals now are facing the significant burden of these climate change-included extreme weather event.

As this the reason why Filipinos are resilience, its is because of the challenges faced. It is the thing that build them up in the process, Filipinos can still continue to function. This stems from the country's history, social structures, and cultural values. Filipinos have adapted to navigate these inequalities, However, Filipinos resilience often masks vulnerabilities. 

These matter were given, as it is the most powerful weapon of the country to this kind of uncertain mood of earth.

 Rising sea levels, higher temperatures, and increased frequency of the typhoons and extreme weather events can cause floods, landslides and erosion that pollute water resources, damage that pollute water resources, damage infrastructure, destroy crops and lead livelihoods. 

Climate change is the single and biggest health threat facing humanity. Climate impacts are already harming health, through air pollution, disease, extreme weather events, forced displacement, pressures on mental health and increased hunger and poor nutrition in places where people cannot grow or find sufficient food.

I therefore conclude that the resilience of the humanity came from the past events. It made the whole community to be more powerful in every instance in life, whether it's negative or positive. There were no such thing as 'sadness' 'weakness' in every Filipinos, cause  the most effective weapon in terms of crisis is resilience. 

Act of Service

Nowadays, children's were blinded by words, affirmations and online modality. It is the matter of fact that we see, its is against the harassment that devouring the children's community. As of the month of November, it regains the rights and directions of the safety.

"Each day of our lives, we make deposits in the memory banks of our children" said Charles R. Swindoll. According to the United Nations Children's Fund, nearby 8 in 10 Filipino children gave experienced some form of violence—whether at home, in school, or within their communities. This grim reality persists despite the passage of numerous laws and the implementation of various programs aimed at safeguarding children’s welfare.

This matters calls the significant value of this chaos, it gains some meaningful things that affects the children's well-being and pride as their ego were kicked behind. . The celebration commemorates the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) by the United Nations General Assembly in November 1989. The Philippines ratified the CRC in August 1990, just nine months after its adoption, affirming the country’s commitment to recognizing and upholding the rights of individuals under the age of 18, as enshrined in the convention.

The impact of the violence extends behind the physical, mental and verbal abuse it caused. Though it was not right and its against the right but who are we to judge and who are we to do things such. As all of this being said, being able to do things that aims to harm people is something that unactable well-being. 

As should we do, is to embed the strengthen protections, to guild and teach others to love people as they love their selves.   

Elpidio Quirino 

He was born on Nov. 16, 1890, in Vigan, Philippines and died Feb. 28, 1956, in Novaliches. Before he was a political leader and the second president of the independent Republic of the Philippines. 

After obtaining a law degree from the University of the Philippines, near Manila, in 1915, Quirino practiced law until he was elected a member of the Philippine House of Representatives in 1919–25 and a senator in 1925–31. In 1934 he was a member of the Philippine independence mission to Washington, D.C., headed by Manuel Quezon which secured the passage in Congress of the Tydings McDuffie Act, setting the date for Philippine independence as July 4, 1946. He was also elected to the convention that drafted a constitution for the new Philippine Commonwealth. Subsequently he served as secretary of finance and secretary of the interior in the Commonwealth government.

After WorldWar II, Quirino served as secretary of state and vice president under the first president of the independent Philippines, Manuel Roxas. When Roxas died on April 15, 1948, Quirino succeeded to the presidency. The following year, he was elected president for a four-year term on the Liberal Party ticket, defeating the Nacionalista candidate.

President Quirino’s administration faced a serious threat in the form of the Communist-led Hukbalahap movement. Though the Huks originally had been an anti-Japanese guerrilla army in Luzon, the Communists steadily gained control over the leadership, and, when Quirino’s negotiations with Huk commander Luiz Taruc broke down in 1948, Taruc openly declared himself a Communist and called for the overthrow of the government. By 1950 the Huks had gained control over a considerable portion of Luzon, and Quirino appointed the able Ramon Magsaysay as secretary of national defense to suppress the insurrection.

Quirino’s six years as president were marked by notable postwar reconstruction, general economic gains, and increased economic aid from the United States. Basic social problems, however, particularly in the rural areas, remained unsolved; Quirino’s administration was tainted by widespread graft and corruption. The 1949 elections, which he had won, were among the most dishonest in the Country's history. Magsaysay, who had been largely successful in eliminating the threat of the Huk insurgents, broke with Quirino on the issue of corruption, campaigning for clean elections and defeating Quirino as the Nacionalista candidate in the presidential election of 1953. Subsequently, Quirino retired to private life.
