For me this  term in ICT class has been a great experience. We spent a lot of time working on HTML typing, which at first felt a bit challenging, but as we went along, it became really rewarding. I learned how websites are built from scratch using simple tags and how every small detail, like a single missing symbol, can make a huge difference. One thing I realized is how important it is to focus and be patient. There were moments when things didn’t work as expected, but troubleshooting and figuring out the problem was surprisingly satisfying. It felt like solving a puzzle. Overall, I’ve grown more confident in using technology, and this class showed me how much effort goes into creating even the simplest web pages. I’m excited to keep learning and see how these skills can be used real-life projects. I’ll always cramm for my exer’s beacuse sometimes I’m absent or my hands was very slow and my eyes can’t see the other wrong words but it’s fun typing and i have new ideas for computer ...

 The  October is a special time in the Philippines, where we come together to celebrate and reflect on the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. This year, Indigenous Peoples Month, which runs from October 1 to 30, is particularly meaningful as it marks the 27th anniversary of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA), a landmark law that has been a beacon of hope for many Indigenous communities. With the theme  "Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalana"  (Valuing, Nurturing, and Honoring Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Knowledge), the month serves as a reminder of how vital it is to protect not only the rights of Indigenous peoples but also their invaluable knowledge and cultural practices. Protecting Rights and Celebrating Culture Indigenous Peoples Month is more than just a celebration—it's a call to action. It's a time for all of us to pause and think about the struggles and resilience of Indigenous...

The Legacy of Strength and Compassion🎀 The best Elpidio Quirino’s life was one of service, sacrifice, and leadership. From a young man with little more than a strong work ethic and a vision for the future, he rose to become a pivotal figure in the history of the Philippines. His achievements, particularly in post-war reconstruction and economic self-sufficiency, continue to resonate today. Quirino’s story reminds us of the importance of leadership that is both compassionate and forward-thinking, grounded in the desire to create a better, more just society for all of people. Quirono lasted until 1953, but his legacy continues to be felt. His efforts to rebuild the country after the war and his commitment to social justice helped set the stage for a new era in Philippine politics. He was a man who saw beyond the immediate challenges and worked toward a vision of a stronger, more independent nation. However, like all leaders, Quirino’s tenure was not without controversy. His close ties w...

Tackling Violence Against Women The Violence Against Women (VAW) remains a significant and pervasive issue not only in the Philippines but globally. With 1 in 3 women worldwide affected by violence, and nearly 1 in 5 women in the Philippines reporting emotional, physical, or sexual abuse from intimate partners (according to the 2022 National Demographic and Health Survey), addressing this issue has become critical. The Philippine government has enacted several laws to protect women and children from violence, providing legal recourse and promoting awareness. This blog post will focus on two important pieces of legislation:  Republic Act No. 8353 (The Anti-Rape Law of 1997)  and  Republic Act No. 7877 (The Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995) , which have played crucial roles in safeguarding women’s rights and dignity. Republic Act No. 8353: The Anti-Rape Law of 1997 The first law that one of the most significant legal milestones in the Philippines' efforts to protect women...
