Pag-asa ng ating Bayan

          Tuwing buwan ng Nobyembre ipinagdiriwang  natin ang isa sa mga mahalagang okasyon ang Buwan ng mga Bata o National Children's Month na may temang "Isulong: Tamamng Pag-aaruga para sa lahat ng Bata. Siguro naman ay pamilyar na kayo sa kasabihang "ang mga kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan" ngunit sa aking palagay ang kasabihang ito'y unti-unti ng nawawala o di na ito pinapahalagahan.
          Lahat tayo ay may responsibilidad at panangutan upang masiguro na ligtas mula sa lahat ng kapahamakan ang ating mga kabataan. Nakakalungkot dahil sa ngayon ay napakaraming kabataan ang nagiging biktima ng iba't ibang klase ng karahasan sa ating lipunan. Ayon sa datos ng 2016 National Baseline Study on Violence Against Children na ginawa ng Council for the Welfare of Children, United Nations Children's Fund at kasama ng iba pang ahensya ng gobyerno at mga civil society organization, tatlo sa bawat limang kabataang Pilipino ang nakakaranas ng karahasan at higit kalahati sa kanila ay nararanasan ito sa mismo nilang mga tahanan.
          Paano sila magiging pag-asa at kinabukasan ng ating bayan kung sa murang edad ay sisnisira na ang kanilang dignidad? Kailangan nila ang tulong mula sa kanilang pamilya, lipunan, at pamahalaan.

Tulong ng Gadget

          Sa panahon ngayon halos lahat na ng mga tao ay nilamon na ng sistema ng teknolohiya. Ang teknolohiya na ang isa sa mga pinakimportante sa kanila ngayon. Noon ang papel lang ang ating gadget ay para sa komunikasyon ngunit ngayon ay lumawak na ang sakop nito. Ang gadget ang nagsisilbing libangan ng mga tao na siyang dahilan ng pagiging tamad ng mga tao.
          Ngayon na tayo ay nasa modernong panahon. At ngayong buwan ng Filipino Values na may temang "Mapanuring gamit ng gadget: Tungo sa mapagkalingang ugnayan sa ating mga pamilya at kapwa". Dapat gamitin natin ng wasto ang ating mga gadgets. Gamitin natin ito sa pakikipag ugnayan natin sa ating mga pamilya at kapwa. Maging isang mabuting ehemplo sa ibang tao. Gamitin ng mabuti ang mga ito.
          Sabi nga nila walang tao ang mabubuhay ng mag isa. Kailangan natin ang ating kapwa upang mabuhay. At sa pamamgitan ng mga gadget ay mas mapapatibay natin ang ating ugnayan sa ating mga pamilya lalo na sa ating kapwa.

Reading is the Key

           The National Reading Month, as spearheaded by the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) pursuant to Republic Act No. 10556, is an annual nationwide celebration every November that promotes the love for reading and its importance to the lifelong process of learning among Filipino learners.

In most schools, the National Reading Month is commonly celebrated with various student competitions that entail demonstrations of exemplary linguistic, communication, and reading skills, hence a double celebration of English Language and National Reading Month.

The Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) has already released the official theme for the 2018 National Reading Month celebration. According to the released DepEd Memorandum No. 175, Series of 2018, this year’s theme is: “Pagbasa: Susi sa Magandang Kinabukasan”. 

          Is reading really important to us? Reading is important to us because it develops the mind. Understanding the written word is one way the mind grows in its ability. Teaching young children to read helps them develop their language skills. Learning to read is about listening and understanding as well as working out whats printed on the page. 

          Reading is important for a variety of reasons. Reading is fundamental to functioning in today's society. Reading is a vital skill in finding a good job. Poor reading skills increases the amount of time it takes to absorb and react in the workplace. Reading is important because it develops the mind. Understanding the written word is one way The mind grows in its ability. It has been proven that children who read better, perform better in school and have a more active imagination, leading to a larger world and more possibilities for success.

          Reading is the key to success. It is not a secret that reading is the key to success; we have been told and taught this from a very early age. And now in the age of the internet  reading, writing , and communication skills are more valuable than any other skills you possess. 

Reflection

This second grading is very challenging. I was  surprised about the lessons. This quarter I learned the what is Internet access all about and different software applications that is not familiar to me. I am very thank having this subject for adding my knowledge. Second grading very stressful but I admit I've enjoyed it. It is all worth it in the end.

Not a hindrance to success

Child labor, violence, prostitution. Many people in the world especially here in the Philippines don’t value about oneself dignity. Some doesn’t even care and know about it, especially to those regions/families who experience poverty. We all know that poverty is one of the biggest problems here in our country. They are lacked of foods, things, money, and education. Many people especially women and children experience violence, but because they don’t have any power to fight for their rights they just preferred to remain silent. It is every children’s right to go to the school and enjoy their childhood. But because of poverty they are forced to find a job in order to sustain their daily needs. Because of poverty women are forced to get naked in front of their customers in order to earn money. Always remember that poverty made for us to make us strong. And let us all be aware of what is happening around us. We must fight until the end. Let us work hand in hand to address this kind of issues. We can achieve success when we believe in ourselves.

Our beloved Teachers

We all have our own description of a hero and whom we consider as our hero. When we are still young we believe that only Superman, Batman are the superheroes because they have powers. So do we consider our teachers a hero? Why and how come if they don’t have any super powers. Teachers, they are our second parents, our school is our second home, our class is our second family. Always be thankful for all the efforts, time and sacrifices for us just to teach us not only with their subjects but also right manners. Education is very important to a man, that is why teachers are also very important to us. Let us thank them because they serve as our bridge to reach our goals in life. Teachers is an inspiration to all f us, love them and salute them. Again thank you for all the lessons that you’ve given and shared to us. We love you and we will always love you.
