FILIPINO: Wika ng Pagkakaisa

       Ang pagkakaroon ng iisang wika ay nangangahulugang nagkakaisa ang mga mamamayan at nagkakaintindihan ang lahat para sa iisang hangarin. Ngayong buwan ng Agosto, ating ating gunitain at ipagdiwang ang BUWAN NG WIKA upang bigyang halaga ang ating wika, ang FILIPINO.

             Ang wikang Filipino ay kayamanan ng ating bansa, hindi ito matutumbasan ng ginto o salapi at hindi rin ito mananakaw. Ito rin ang isa sa makakapagpatunay na tayo ay Pilipino. Ngunit ang ating wikang pambansa ay nagbabadyang maalis dahil sa mga wikang banyagang iniimpluwensyahan ang sambayanan. Madalas na ginagamit ng mga kabataan ngayon ay ang mga wikang banyaga gaya ng Inges at Korean. Ipaalala natin sa kanila ang mga kabutihang dulot nito, na sa paggamit ng wikang Filipino lubusan pa nilang maunawaan ang yaman ng ating kultura. Ang pambansang wika ang sumisimbolo ng pagiging matatag at pagkakaisa ng ating bansa.

           Nawa'y ating gamitin ng wasto ang wika natin hindi lamang ngayong buwan ng wika kundi araw-araw. Taas-noo tayong magsalita ng ating sariling wika.

REFLECTION

A number of student would agree to me if I would say that Information and Communications Technology "ICT" was an awesome and cool subject. Do you know why? LET'S FIND IT OUT! :)

     Our lesson for the first grading was all about INTERNET. I've learned new things. Some of our interesting topics are history of internet, internet services and tools, search engines and different person behind the success of internet. And the best topic for this grading is BLOG. It is not my first  time to hear that word but I don't know what is it all about. But our teacher filled my mind with all the information of blog.

    Even though I found blog as the best and most interesting topic, I still encountered difficulties. The first is writing essays or compositions. I hate writing and writing hate me too. I was stressed of thinking every time our teacher told us to make our draft for our blog. It took me a lot of hours to compose an essay that is good enough to post in my blog. Second is typing. I had a slow speed on typing.

    In the end, I address all my difficulties. I asked my classmates who were literature lover some tips and techniques on writing essays. One time, I asked my friend to correct my grammar. Typing as one of my difficulty vanished every time I type a composition to my blog. Now, I found typing blogs and writing an essay enjoyable to do.

    Moving on, I will face again any difficulties I will encounter with pleasure. I will try my best to make an effective essay and I will practice typing. And lastly, I will enjoy my ICT subject for this is my last year as a high school student.

Do you now know why? It not only because it is all about computers and internet but because the topics are applicable to our life. We students can use our learning to our daily lives.

Reaction About the 5th State of the Nation Address (SONA) of the President

  President Benigno "PNoy" Aquino III delivered his 5th State of the Nation Address last Monday, July 28, 2014, at Batasan Complex, Quezon City. This years SONA of PNoy was monitored by millions of Filipinos here and abroad amid many issues this country has been experiencing.

      
    President Aquino mentioned about the Zamboanga siege and the Php 35 Billion allotted for infra projects and housing in Zamboanga. He also shared about the Philippines as one of the leading countries in Asia for its growth in GDP and GNP. Also, the employment rate had increased and that this reflects how the government handled the labor policies. He talked the very important topic of DAP was directed to. PNOy admits regarding the delay of new power plants but it needs to be managed well for future shortage issues. He then forwarded his plans on importing more rice to bring down prices in the domestic market.

   In my oinion, this was the best SONA of president Benigno Aquino III in his 5 years of being the father of our country, the Philippines. However, I felt that the speech was too long to miss on some important issues like the Php 10 Billion Pork Scam. He should mentioned the scam for anti-corruption is his main thrust in the "Daang Matuwid" platform.

INSIGHTS ABOUT 2014 NUTRITION MONTH CELEBRATION

Preparedness Must Be First 

          Ilocos Sur National High School had a lot of activities in line with the 40th Nutrition Month celebration this July with the theme, "Kalamidad Paghandaan: Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan."

     Calamity, hunger and malnutrition. These three are the threats and problems that are burdens to every Filipino and they are continuously fighting it. There are lots of programs that the government are promoting in order to prepare and prevent these problems. But these are not enough because we are not all sympathetic to combat  for it. How can we prepare for calamities? How can we resolve the problems of hunger and malnutrition in our country? We do not have the power to stop calamities. Therefore the best way for us to do is to prepare.

       We must not only prepare the material things but also ourselves because at the time of disaster we might catch a disease. So our body should stay healthy and fit for us to withstand any calamities that our country might encounter.
