Elpidio Quirino

Image
Elpidio Quirino, the sixth president of the Philippines, was born on November 16, 1890, in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, to a modest family that valued education and perseverance. Despite financial hardships, he completed his studies with determination, eventually earning a law degree from the University of the Philippines in 1915. His early experiences with poverty and hardship shaped his later commitment to social welfare and national development.

His competence and dedication quickly elevated him to higher positions, including Senator, Secretary of Finance, Secretary of the Interior, and Secretary of Foreign Affairs.

San Vicente

Image
San Vicente is a treasure of nature, history, and culture. I think it's one of the towns you should go to if you want a different kind of experience.  The historic church, which is a symbol of the people's unity and faith, is not to be missed.  Dinosaur Island is a family-friendly destination that is sure to amaze you with its abundance of fun and educational activities.  The residents of San Vicente are also very proud of their creative furniture and excellent salt. These goods, I think that are, serve as a symbol of their diligence and inventiveness in addition to being a source of income. Certainly, a trip to San Vicente .

Reflection

Image
This second quarter has been an incredible learning and self-growth experience. I have learned new things, struggled through challenges, and gained a deeper understanding of myself as a learner. During this quarter, I acquired numerous new ideas in my courses that enhanced my knowledge and skills. I learned improved study skills and how to better utilize my time. I also developed confidence in engaging in classroom discussions and group work with my colleagues. There were moments when lessons seemed tougher than before. Scheduling school work, assignments, and personal tasks was complicated. I also had a hard time coping with the pressure when deadlines began to accumulate. At times, I questioned whether I could sustain the workload. In order to succeed despite such challenges, I attempted to remain organized through creating timetables and prioritizing tasks. When in need of assistance, I asked questions, and when tasks seemed daunting, I collaborated with peers. Above all...

The celebration of Science month

The celebration of the 2025 National Science Month  As science advances, its relationship with society is increasingly dynamic. On one hand, science and technological innovation can deliver profound benefits: improved health, sustainable energy, smarter infrastructure, more inclusive education, and economic growth. For instance, emerging technologies are already promising to transform how we manage resources and respond to crises. On the other hand, the social dimension—including public trust, equitable access, ethical governance, and alignment with societal values—is now more integral than ever. Innovations cannot succeed in isolation of the cultural, political and economic contexts in which they operate. The theme rightly suggests that “powering the future” involves not merely inventing new technologies, but embedding them into societies in ways that are sustainable, inclusive and resilient. In the coming decades, the relationship between science and society will likely become ...

Climate Change and the Resiliency of Filipinos

Image
In the Philippines, the effects of climate change are no longer distant warnings — they are unfolding realities, reshaping the lives and livelihoods of many Filipinos. Among the predominant drivers of environmental change are increased greenhouse-gas emissions from fossil-fuel use, rapid deforestation, and land-use changes that diminish nature’s buffer zones. These factors contribute to intensified weather systems, rising sea levels, and shifting rainfall patterns, which in turn adversely affect agricultural productivity, coastal communities, and informal settlements. For a nation ranked among the highest in disaster risk globally, this means more than theoretical risk—it means everyday vulnerability.  Resiliency thus becomes both a strength and a challenge. On the one hand, communities across the Philippines show remarkable “bayanihan” spirit (mutual help) in the face of disasters, and many local and international interventions are supporting adaptation an...

The 2025 theme, “My Teacher, My Hero” highlights the heroism of teachers whose daily acts of patience, compassion, and wisdom transform students into capable, confident individuals.

Always Clean Our Environment

Image
Our surroundings are a reflection of how much we care for our community. To show our love and responsibility for the environment, we organized a clean-up activity that brought everyone together for a common cause: keeping our home clean and green I recently had the opportunity to participate in a clean-up activity in our barangay. It was a meaningful experience where residents came together to make our community cleaner and more organized It's important to separate trash because it helps reduce pollution and makes waste easier to manage. Biodegradable waste can be turned into compost, which is useful for plants. Aside from cleaning and separating trash, we also took part in planting trees around our barangay. This activity reminded us that taking care of the environment is not only about removing waste but also about giving back to nature.
