Climate Change Is Very Strange

In the Philippines, sudden typhoons, rising sea levels, and unpredictable weather patterns have become the new norm, indicating that climate change is a real threat. With continuous typhoons, frequent flooding, landslides, and hotter weather conditions, this indicates that climate change greatly impacts lives in a negative way.


One of the main causes of the worsening impacts of climate change in the Philippines is deforestation. Communities become more vulnerable and prone to natural disasters as forests are cut down, removing natural barriers against landslides and flooding. The use of fossil fuels in everyday life such as energy consumption, and transportation with vehicles that use gas have also been one of the many contributors to climate change.



Fortunately, despite these challenges, Filipinos continue to demonstrate resiliency. Local governments and community organizations have taken mitigation measures, such as replanting mangroves and providing disaster preparedness training, and less consumption of fossil fuels due to the new trend of using electric bikes or e-bikes that do not need the use of gas to work.

You Can't Spell Awesome Without Me!

          Dear Reader, let me tell you some things about myself. I’m Hannah, a fifteen-year-old girl, living in Bulala, Vigan City. Like many teenagers, I’m still finding more things about myself. I still can’t believe that this is my last year as a junior high school student. It feels like I just graduated from elementary, and three more quarters from now, I’m going to hopefully graduate junior high school as a special science class student. Time really does fly by fast. I’m a girl who loves to listen to music. I find music relaxing and soothing to my ears and mind. Oh, and I also play the guitar and ukulele. Sometimes, I just randomly grab the guitar or uke and randomly sing some song in my room. Apart from loving music, I also have a small passion for reading and writing. My favorite book is called ‘The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo’, written by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I like making up fictional stories and jotting them down whenever I have a story idea ...

                 Time flies by really swiftly. Another 2nd quarter is done, and I have learned plenty of things in ICT. Making HTML Files in Notepad has been an enjoyable experience. The exer activities were a lot of fun to encode even though the keyboards we used were stiff. Learning the basic HTML tags and attributes was fun, especially because we were using the computers to make activities 1 up to 20 which were the simple tags to the frames that were a little complicated to understand.                  The major problem that we have encountered during this quarter of the school year was the rushed lessons, not only in ICT but in all subjects due to the continuous suspension of classes caused by the parade of typhoons that occurred. Another problem that I encountered was that my computer station did not really cooperate during the first weeks.         ...

Teachers Makes The Whole Place Shimmer

                                Teachers are the cornerstone of the society, shaping the minds of future generations. They are the reasons why we have professionals today. Teachers are the important building blocks of society, ensuring that every student has been taught a lesson. A lesson that is not only for academics but life lessons that we, as students will never forget. And with that, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of the teachers who teach with love and patience. Dearest mentors, thank you for your never-ending support and wisdom that you have enriched us with. October is your month, and I would like to express my gratitude for all of your hard work in providing us with the knowledge that we need for our future. Thank you to the teachers who have shaped us into a better person. When we doubt ourselves, you encourage us to evolve our weaknesses into our greatest stre...
