     In the past, women were treated unjustly, they did not have the freedom and rights they truly deserve as if they were weaker gender. Back then women were only supposed to be inside their house’s, doing household choirs, and taking care of their own children. They were forbidden to go outside, be the “breadwinner” of the family, and have education. They were not allowed to vote, and be part of any political matters. Women were robbed of their self-confidence and self-respect, and were made totally dependent on men. Women were treated as slaves of men. Making women think that males are the superior and the dominant specie.  Being able to live in a religiously free environment, having a say in the government you fund with your taxes, and not being enslaved by another person for the rest of your life. Many people used to think these ideas about how living should and must be lived were foolish. Visionaries, on the other hand, held these convictions with zeal, and their tireless efforts

    I learned how to do community-based research during the third quarter of the 2020-2021 academic year. Despite the difficulties, I was able to collect data quickly because many elders are easy to talk to. I had a hard time adjusting when modular distance learning was first established. But now that the third quarter of the school year is through, I've gotten the feel of it.   We're almost there, all the sleepless and stressful nights will all be worth it. Now, I'm just a quarter of the way through my junior high school career, although digitally. For the upcoming quarter, I'm looking forward to more challenging but yet simple classes. 

    The Day of Valor, or Araw ng Kagitingan, honors the valor of Filipino and American soldiers during World War II's Japanese invasion of the Philippines. At dawn on April 9, 1942, US Army Major General Edward P. King was forced to surrender approximately 76,000 Filipinos, Chinese, and American forces to the Japanese. The soldiers were compelled to walk 90 miles (145 kilometers) to Camp O'Donnell in San Fernando. Thousands of inmates died of starvation, thirst, and infections during the walk to the camp (also known as the Bataan Death March).   Despite their challenges, the Filipinos were able to beat their shared foe by joining together and seeking the help of Americans. The island of Bataan was spared devastation.  Araw ng Kagitingan is a non-working holiday in the Philippines that falls on a long weekend. The primary highlight of the Araw ng Kagitingan is when the Philippines' president delivers a speech at the Mt Samat shrine in Bataan province to commemorate the valor

  The Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) has made a humongous impact to the world. This pernicious virus has affected many people and also took many lives. It’s been more than a year since this horrendous pandemic affected many lives. When the number of active cases proliferated on January 30,2020, authorities decided to find a solution to this economic disaster. To reduce the rate of people getting infected by this virus, the government has implemented lockdowns with strong containment measures. Unfortunately, isolating ourselves in our own homes isn’t enough in dealing with this virus. The best way to fight the virus is finding a cure to it, over-the-counter drugs and simple remedies isn’t enough to treat and to completely prevent the spread of this fatal disease. In order to prevent a virus from infecting someone’s body one must be immune to this said disease. Immunity to a disease is achieved through the presence of antibodies to that disease in a person’s system. Anti-bodies are prote

   The Lenten season is a 40-day period preceding Easter in the Christian calendar. Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday, is a season of reflection and preparation leading up to the Easter celebrations. Christians imitate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and 40-day retreat into the wilderness by observing Lent for 40 days. Fasting, both from food and from festivities, is a feature of Lent.    We were unable to carry out our religious rituals throughout the Lenten Season, which was disappointing. We couldn't participate in customary rituals like waving the palaspas or visiting the church, but thanks to technology, we were able to attend an online mass and pray the Holy Rosary. We should be grateful to the Almighty since he protected us during the pandemic.   The Lenten Season is a time for us to refresh and reflect on our connection with God, as well as remembering God's sorrows, such as being nailed to the Cross. It allows us to keep track of how our Cathol

               Women's Day was first observed on March 19, 1911, however due to an accident, the date had to be rescheduled. This exposed the unfair labor practices and harsh working circumstances that women suffer, sparking a wave of demonstrations. In December 1977, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution designating a United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace, to be marked by Member States on every day of the year, according to their historical and national traditions. This will highlight 12 key areas of concern in order to safeguard women from experiencing these issues. It is commemorated every year, and many local governments are likely to post on a variety of channels to keep us updated. Last month, I spotted a promotion with a Covid-19 pandemic-themed poster. The focus of this year's commemoration is on women's contributions to the pandemic fight. Raising awareness of gender issues, which became more visible during the health c
