Preserving National Treasures

            The month of October celebrates Indigenous Peoples Month in recognition and protection of the rights of indigenous communities in our country. The theme for this month’s celebration is entitled “Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalana.” This celebration promotes the appreciation of the cultures and heritage of indigenous individuals. In addition, the event also marks the 27th anniversary of the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act, a law that protects the rights to their territory, culture, and self-governance.



This celebration raises awareness about valuing and preserving the cultures of our indigenous individuals and also recognizes their contributions to our country. Through events, exhibits, and discussions, the celebration encourages Filipinos to recognize and promote respect for their cultures and traditions.



Indigenous Peoples Month 2024 is an important reminder of our shared need to preserve the variety and dignity of the country's indigenous people by promoting their culture, rights, and knowledge. This month-long celebration urges every Filipino to help preserve and empower these valuable cultures.

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.

                 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 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...
