Filipinos: Joyous even after calamities

          Hurricanes, Floods, Earthquake, Volcanic Eruption, Thunderstorms, Typhoons, Monsoon rains. Philippines, one of the countries in the world that is afflicted with almost all kinds of natural calamities all year around.
          Philippines is situated above the equator and has the warmest ocean temperatures. Another is the location of Philippines. It is within the Pacific Ring of Fire . That is some of the reasons why Philippines is a disaster prone country Another is the Filipinos, themselves. Only few towns are implementing proper waste disposal. Others don't mind when it comes to proper segregation, disposal, and management of garbage. Garbage is thrown everywhere that causes clogging of drainage wherein the rain flows. Another is the deforestation, the forest are cleared or bald. Kaingin, mining and illegal logging are some of the human bad activities or habits that causes soil erosion and landslides that may kill many people.
          Despite the negative outcomes of the calamities, Filipinos remain resilient and strong. They still see something good and funny in every bad situation. Like for instances, students are happy when classes are suspended . But other students, attend schools even during disaster. And citizens who are working forced themselves to do their job no matter how hard it is. But some people prefer to stay at home when they feel it isn't safe to go out. Resilience is a character that Filipinos are very proud of, being hopeful while experiencing hard situations like calamities.

A Great Start

     ICT is one of the most interesting subjects. Because you are dealing with computers. Because of this many inventions, children nowadays love surfing in the internet.  They don't know its benefits.  In ict 10, I learned about internet, search engines. 

     In the first quarter, we can't avoid encountering challenges.  I have encountered problems like managing my time. There are lots of projects and outputs and I can't focus on it because of the lack of time. There is an instances that I didn't ass my requirements on time.  Another is the self-doubt and confidence. Because of the lack of confidence, I doubted myself. In every article that I made, I felt like the piece I made was wrong. In every discussion, I wanted to recite but the negative thinking covers me. 

     I solved my problem by focusing on my lectures and time management. For me, to over come that, I learned to divide my time in every task that I am going to do. Another is boosting my self confidence. It is one of the ways to be comfortable in every actions and decision you will make. 

     Moving on, I will use this as my motivation fot the upcoming quarters. My leraning this time will surely guide me in the future. I am excited for more classes to come! 

     This has been a great start! 

Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik

            Wika ang pinakamagandang regalo ng Maykapal sa atin. Malaki ang nagagawa ng wika sa pagkakaroon ng mgandang unawaan, ugnayan at mabuting samahan. Kung wala ang wika,paano tayo magkakaintindihan, paano natin mapapabilis ang pagsulong ng kaunlaran? Kailangan natin ng Wika.

            Ang Buwan ng Wika ay ipinagdiriwang ng Pilipinas sa buong buwan ng Agusto. Ang tema ng Buwan ng Wika sa Agusto 2018 ay “Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik” Ang tema ay kumikilala sa wikang Filipino bilang isang representasyon sa paglikha at pagpapalaganap ng pambansang karunungan at kaunlaran. Ang layunin ng tema ay mahikayat ang iba’t ibang ahensiya ng pamahalaan at pampribado na makiisa sa mga programang tulad nito na nagpapataas ng kamalayang pangwika at sibiko. Upang mas mapabilis na mahikayat ang mga iba’t ibang bata sa iba’t ibang lugar ay kailangang ibahagi natin ang ating alam tungkol sa ating wika. Sa pamamagitan ng temang ito, nagaganyak ang mga mamayanang Filipino na pahalagahan ang wikang pambansa sa pamamagitan ng aktibong pakikilahok sa mga gawain. Sa pamamagitan ng pakikilahok sa mga iba’t ibang patimpalak sa paaralan, ito rin ay isa sa mga paraan sa paggalang sa ating sariling wika. Mahalaga rin ito sapagkat ito ang ating kinagisnang wika at wikang dapat nating ingatan at pahalagahan.

            Wika pa rin ang pinakamahalagang sangkap sa anumang paraan ng mabisang pakikipagtalastasan at komunikasyon. Kaya atin tong pahalagahan. “Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa kanyang wika ay higit pa sa amoy ng malansang isda.” Ika nga ni Jose Rizal.
