Araw ng Kagitingan

Araw ng kagitingan or Valor day is a day to honor the Filipino and American soldiers who stood their ground against Japanese soldiers who invaded the Philippines during World war II.

Araw ng Kagitingan also known as Bataan Day, is a national observance in the Philippines which commemorates the fall of Bataan during World War II and honor the Bataan heroes who filled a huge role to slow down the enemy forces. The Bataan Death March was the culmination of a long battle against an invading force, and was a bloody indicator of the brutality of the Imperial Japanese Forces that occupied the Philippines. The captured American and Filipino soldiers were in bad health, after fighting a protracted battle with little food and water.

It falls on April 9, although in 2009, its celebration was moved to April 6 to avoid it from coinciding with Maundy Thursday.

What I Have Learned.

Imahe
 It feels like just a short amount of time, and another quarter is about to end. Honestly, sometimes this new normal in education is suffocating, sometimes depressing, but there are still things we learn each week. Even at times like these I still manage to learn things, even if no one is teaching. Self-studying is hard, at first you feel like quitting and giving up but it will all go away and everything will be okay. Dealing with piles of tasks and activities each week can sometimes be hard but having help with friends, sometimes teachers, and the internet, everything can be easier. But there are also things we have to do alone and independently, every week it can be tempting to ask guidance and help from other people, but I also need to learn lessons and things by myself and not rely on others. Summarizing, ask for help and guidance when things are difficult and hard, and most importantly have trust in yourself to do things independently if you know you can. photo retrieved from: htt

MY LIFE, MY RULES

Imahe
I am Adrian Roderick B. Paz, a 16-year old boy who lives in Brgy.  2 Bantay, Ilocos Sur. I am currently studying as a Grade 10, Special Science Class student at Ilocos Sur National High School. I was born having a twin brother on the day of October 12, 2004. Having a twin doesn't mean you two should be the same, because everyone's different in their own way.  Everyone has expectations from you, but that doesn't mean you should meet their expectations, everyone expects you to be good in something, like sports, any of your subjects. It is your life, don't let anyone else decide for you. And this is my life, my rules. I have no sports that I can be proud with, surely I played soccer, basketball, volleyball, and badminton when I was a child and also as a teen, but none of them seem to catch my attention and interest.  But the talents I seem to have are dancing and singing. My dancing is something I'm glad I grew up with, it is fun, entertaining, and free. Singing was no

WHAT MAKES A COUNTRY

Imahe
How do we call or make a country resilient? Resilient is the ability to withstand or recover quickly from a difficult situation or crisis. Do we call Philippines a resilient country? Us people sometimes find it easy and hard to recover from a situation or problem, is it the same for our country? Every year we face lots of difficult problems, we face natural disasters, accidents, calamities, and now the ongoing pandemic Covid-19. At first, lots of Filipinos panic and worry about this virus spreading throughout the world, but slowly and surely we act and recover from this growing pandemic. As an individual we have different views and solutions to these kinds of problems. But as citizens within the same country we can choose to help each other to further recover from the problems we face. But for a country to be resilient we need a strong and dependable leader to guide us to these problems. Lots of times Philippines has recovered from different crisis and calamities, like typhoons and oth
