A Better Tommorow

     

    As the clock strikes 12:00 midnight, people all around the world cheer, and fireworks light up the sky. The scene is one marking not only the end of a year but also the beginning of a new one—a fresh start, a blank page, a chance to reset. The past year, with all its highs and lows, triumphs and failures, had finally come to an end. It's time to put the past in its place, our past mistakes, missed opportunities, and regrets. With a hopeful heart, we welcome a new year, full of endless possibilities.

    This past year really was tough. I did things that made me regret my actions, but still, it was never too late to change. There is always hope for better times and another chance to improve myself. We are not failures because we did not become what we wanted to be or did not achieve all that we dreamed of. It's a long journey, and at times, we fall down. But I will always hold on to the belief that there will be a better tomorrow, for each new day presents an opportunity to try once more.

    The beauty of the new year lies in its promise. The promise that we can grow, change, and be the person and live the life we’ve always wanted. In so many ways, it reminds you, no matter how tough or challenging this year has been, that tomorrow starts anew the chances to rebuild your life better, into a finer and more improved version. The new year is more than just new year resolutions, it is about actually putting words into actions to become the person that we want to be, even if it means starting from zero. 

    We all have moments that we regret, some decisions we wish we could change, or paths we wish we'd taken. But the past is behind us, and the future is ours to shape. It's time to forgive ourselves, let go of the baggage, and work on becoming the best version of who we are meant to be. In 2025, we'll be working on our progress and not perfection. It's okay to stumble and fall along the way. The most important thing is how we rise again, how we learn from the fall, and how we continue.

    This year, it's all about embracing change and growth. It's a reminder that we need not be bound by our past; rather, we can create the future we want. Whether it be for personal development, new passions, or just being in the moment, each day provides an opportunity to transform.

    So let's step into this new year with open hearts and minds, ready to leave the past behind and embrace the endless possibilities ahead. A new year brings new beginnings—and with each new beginning comes the chance to redefine ourselves. Here’s to 2025: a year of growth, resiliency, and becoming the best version of you.

Merry Moments, Endless Enjoyment

    

    

        Having the christmas vacation means having a break and rest from school, or in generally, from everything. It means resting, having a time for yourself, spending more time with your family, reconnecting with nature, and having more time to sleep! And of course, making the most of every moment. Additionally, the atmosphere during christmas season is very calming, it is really cold and windy. I love that weather, really.

    During the christmas vacation, of course I was really looking forward to getting more sleep, and waking up at any time of the day that I would like. I really loved sleeping. I also spent my vacation in my gadgets, or course. I played games and watched a lot of movies and series that i really enjoyed. I was happy I could finally watch the movies I was saving for the christmas vacation.

    Of course I didn't want to just be on my room lying down all day. Our family went to Ilocos Norte for something important and I went to join them. We didn't do much exploring and just went to Robinsons Mall, but I enjoyed the views along the way during the trip there. Also, on Christmas, we, my family, went to Abra, where my father side lives. We spent the christmas there reconnecting and bonding together as we didn't see each other for too long.

    What I loved the most during my Christmas vacation was when my cousins went to us and we shared bond, happiness, and laughter together. I truly cherished spending quality time with them, whether it was playing games, talking to each other, laughing together, or simply enjoying each other's company. The laughter and joy we shared made the holiday season even more special, and those moments are ones I will always treasure.

    My Christmas vacation was truly a memorable one, filled with moments of relaxation, family bonding, and self-care. It was a time to unwind from the usual routine and focus on what truly matters—spending quality time with loved ones and cherishing the simple pleasures of life. The joy of reconnecting with family, the peaceful weather, and the time to rest all made it an unforgettable experience. I’m grateful for the memories created during this holiday season.

    Looking back, I realize how important it is to take a break from the busyness of everyday life and enjoy the holiday moments. Christmas is not only about gifts and celebrations but also about creating memories with the people who matter most. This vacation allowed me to reconnect with family, appreciate the little things, and recharge for the upcoming year. It was a reminder to cherish every moment and make the most of time spent with those we love.

Skills in Bloom, Growth to Consume

     It feels so unreal, knowing half of the school year already passed and the second quarter is at its end. This quarter was surely an exciting chapter in my academic journey. Since day one, I already knew that coding would be included in the curriculum. For the topic of coding, I had less experience, and being honest, I was somewhat frightened. I was concerned that lessons would be hard to catch up on or that I would fall behind, but these weeks have found me surprised that I not only understand the basics of coding, but I actually enjoy it.

     Learning HTML allowed me to create simple web pages, experiment with tags, and see how small changes could make big results. It's like unlocking a whole new world of creativity and problem-solving. Accomplishment with each project drove my confidence. This quarter reminded me that stepping out of your comfort zone often leads to the greatest growth.

    Besides coding, blogging lessons were the most enjoyable moments of the quarter. Blogging gave me an opportunity to express myself, be creative, and therefore improve my writing skills. Writing articles on different topics was entertaining but at the same time taught me how to get in touch with an audience. Whether it be discussing current events or sharing personal reflections, blogging helped me put my ideas across with more confidence.

    Of course, no journey is without its hurdles. This quarter presented its fair share of challenges, from technical issues like HTML tags not working as expected to moments of confusion while trying to grasp new concepts. These obstacles taught me the value of patience, problem-solving, and collaboration. Asking for help from classmates became one of the most important strategies to get over these difficulties, and I felt how much we are capable of doing when we work together. And asking for help is not a weakness; it is one of the most powerful ways to learn and grow with others.

    In addition to the technical knowledge, this quarter also instilled in me a much deeper sense of persistence and adaptability. It is so easy sometimes to turn and run away when everything is not going right, but to find a solution out and keep moving is just exhilarating. Each setback proved to be an opportunity to learn something new: at times troubleshooting some technical problem, and at other times some refinement of an approach to some task at hand.

    In the future, I am excited to further develop my knowledge of coding. It's been great working with HTML and creating something from scratch; thus, this is a skill I am interested in developing further. Maybe this will be a useful hobby or even a career some day. Apart from coding, I'm going to take the knowledge of this quarter, including patience, creativity, and collaboration, into every single part of my life.

    The second quarter has been bittersweet; it was a mix of ups and downs, but most importantly, one of growth. I am rather excited to see what the third quarter has in store and how I apply the knowledge and skills that I have gained. This whole experience has taught me something: every challenge is an opportunity, and every lesson learned brings us closer to becoming the best version of ourselves.

Standing Tall, Empowering Women’s Role

    Violence against women (VAW) continues to be a set, yet complex shadow, that lies embedded in culture and society. Numerous women privately endure violence and harassment in the employee's back alley, in the street, and even in cyberspace. It is a crisis that cuts across individual boundaries, reaching families, communities, and countries.

    Imagine waking up every day to a reality where one out of three women globally faces abuse. It's more than just a number; it's a call for attention that resonates in our schools, shops, and even our own living rooms. Here in the Philippines, the problem is more personal. As per the 2022 National Demographic and Health Survey, almost one in five women has experienced at least one type of emotional, physical or sexual violence perpetrated by an intimate partner. This is why the presence of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) Act 2004, or Republic Act (R.A. No. 9262, a beacon to lead hope and justice. It's not just a law but a call to action for every Filipino to rise and fight against this pervasive social injustice.

    The VAWC Act is not a paper where rules are written but is, in fact, the lifeline of women and children trapped in abusive environments. This law recognizes forms of violence, from physical, sexual, psychological, to economic; therefore, abuse is multifaceted and deeply ingrained in power dynamics. It is a bill that reflects and defines the invisible hold of economic control and the emotional scars of psychological abuse, providing a voice and the means to fight back for victims. Across the 18-day Campaign to End Violence Against Women this law goes beyond a legal code; it goes to become a banner song. Schools, barangays, and communities become learning arenas and empowerment grounds, where words of the law come to life through workshops, public forums, and grassroots initiatives. The campaign underlines the empowerment of women and children because their safety is part and parcel of the progress of the nation.

    Awareness, by itself, will not be able to break up the systems of violence that underlie it. The greatest effect of the 18-day Campaign is to use learning to action. Why do victims choose silent suffering over speaking out against abuse? Why are abusers protected by cultural norms? Those uncomfortable questions force us to grapple with the societal issues that allow violence to live on. R.A. 9262 directly tackles these concerns, affording not only women, but the children, born legitimate or not, a protection against violence perpetrated against them. Its provisions, such as protection orders and penalties against abusers make it more accountable and enable the victim to regain his life. The law alters relationships, so that even dating couples are accountable and victims are protected from the emotional and psychic abuses of relationship. With this extensive coverage, it is paramount in fostering a culture of zero tolerance of abuse.

    

    The role of the youth cannot be overemphasized. As torchbearers of change, young people can uniquely redefine societal norms and move beyond the status quo. It becomes possible through art, social media campaigns, and initiatives within schools that make students an active participant in the campaign while amplifying its message through mediums that resonate with their peers. That exposure of ideas like "Battered Woman Syndrome" to these considerations prepares the next generation for understanding the psychological consequences of abuse and the justice survivors are entitled to have. The young remind us that this struggle is multigenerational, that the baton of advocacy should continue to be carried forward unbroken. Their participation is a sign of optimism for the achievement of the R.A. 9262 principles, in the future. Are we prepared to take a stand and try to give this law a vitality and movement?

    In contrast, statutes as Republic Act (R.A. No. 7877, the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995, and R.A. 11313, also the Safe Spaces Act of 2019, are also pieces of legislation that safeguard women from violence. These laws don't just protect women; they make us think about how we conceptualize safety and respect in our daily lives This legislation defines sexual harassment as any unwelcome sexual behavior or proposition that is made by a person of power, like a professor, employer or supervisor, for which submission is a prerequisite for employment or academic standing. The importance of R.A. 7877 lies in its emphasis on accountability. It is able to instill systems of, for example, grievance committees, whereby victims are provided with a safe environment to make reports. In this way it not only penalizes violators but also delivers an unambiguous message that abuse of power will not be accepted.

    Rearranging the fight against harassment with the Safe Spaces Act (R.A. 11313) to include spaces not specifically workplaces or schools has raised the bar. Already passed in 2019, this law criminalizes gender-based harassment in public spaces and online platforms. It deals with behaviors, such as catcalling stalking, and cyberbullying because it acknowledges that harassment can take place on, and possibly to, any where at all. What makes the Safe Spaces Act so groundbreaking is its breadth. In contrast to R.A. 7877, which is limited to hierarchically related relationships, this law is concerned with daily interaction of the people, as it seeks to shield them from harassment in the public places like roads, parks and social media. Through deconstruction of the societal normalization of behaviors like wolf-whistling and obscene remarks, R.A. 11313 Creating mutual respect and no harm to anyone, irrespective of the gender one owns.

    Even though both laws are designed to protect against harassment and violence, they provide strong rules when taken together. All this has a tendency to remind us that it is just an elementary right that cannot be tolerated by mere respect and safety. Students and citizens alike, we must uphold these statutes, not merely by following the rules, but by setting an example of their principles. Not through that the power of laws lies and that only faithful as people believe in them. The real question is whether we are prepared to stand up, speak out, and make our spaces—be it the classrooms, offices, streets, or even online truly safe for all?

    Together, these statutes create a legal framework that protects the common experience of gender-based violence and harassment. These laws target abuse in all its aspects and contexts by offering victims protection, criminal responsibility for offenders, and a vision for improved safety of society. However, the law is not only a means for achieving justice; it is also a means for social cultural change. They encourage all of their citizens to stand up and challenge the stereotypical rules, abuses of power, and to engineer the conditions in which equality and respect will prosper. Collectively, as a nation commitment to these statutes shapes the future we are all working to create-a future where no woman, child or person is living in fear.

From Trials to Triumphs, His Legacy Lives

      "True leadership is not measured by the titles we hold, but by the transformative legacy we leave behind." This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the life and work of Elpidio Quirino, the sixth president of the Philippines. Rising from humble beginnings in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, to guiding a nation through the aftermath of World War II, Quirino’s journey is a testament to resilience, vision, and unwavering commitment to public service. His life story inspires generations of Filipinos, proving that greatness is not defined by where we start, but by how we rise above adversity and dedicate ourselves to the greater good.

      Born on November 16, 1890, Quirino was the son of a modest family that valued education. Despite financial challenges, he proved to be an outstanding scholar; he graduated from the University of the Philippines with a law degree and passed the bar in 1915. His political career, at first in the House of Representatives, soon earned him a seat in the Senate. He was immediately recognizable due to his exceptional leadership in handling complex political dynamics. He had to end up in the presidency, his true test as a leader began.

  Quirino’s presidency was during 1948 to 1953 when the Philippines was in the process of recovery from the devastating effects of World War II. The nation needed not only physical reconstruction but emotional healing and economic stability. Quirino tirelessly worked towards the reconstruction of the country, targeting growth economically and socially in its welfare. He established several initiatives with regards to healthcare, education, and housing improvement of the people to end the poverty levels, his leadership during these desperate times was bringing hope to the once despairing nation; therefore, the great leader knew how to stand up for times like that.

  Quirino's foreign policy was no less impressive than his domestic. He was instrumental in securing close relations with the United States, promoting the interest of the Philippines in international fora. Quirino's diplomacy, such as when he helped establish the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO), cemented the position of the Philippines in a new world order after the Second World War. His international relations leadership portrayed him to maintain the country's pride at the national level and international cooperation for the attainment of peace and strengthened sovereignty.

     Outside of political legacy, Elpidio Quirino was remembered through social justice as well as elevating the Filipino people from poverty. His administration promoted programs that benefited the underprivileged sectors such as the farmers, and introduced landmark changes in land reform and economic balance. Quirino realized that the Philippine nation had to move forward as long as the common masses, which were mostly and continually neglected, were taken into consideration. His thrust of social welfare and balanced development forms a solid foundation for further leaders to build on from here.

  Elpidio Quirino: an icon of strength, sympathy, and leadership. While he may not always be in the limelight, his contributions to the Philippines' post-war recovery and the social reforms he advocated are undeniable. As we reflect on his life and leadership, let us remember that true leadership is not about holding power but about lifting others up and serving the greater good. Quirino's story is a powerful reminder that with dedication, humility, and a vision for the future, no matter where we come from, we can impact the world around us in such a lasting manner.

Echoes of Tommorow’s Hope

"When we silence the voices of the past, we risk losing the wisdom of the future."

    For generations, indigenous people of the Philippines have stewarded our lands and kept their beauty, traditions, and wisdom alive for centuries. Despite richness in heritage and depth of connection with the environment, their voices are continuously drowned out, their rights trampled. It's time to stop sidelining the very people who hold the key to sustainable living and the preservation of our culture. It is beyond mere recognition that they deserve; it is about empowerment and respect. We have to act today and start honoring their contributions, giving them space to thrive, not just survive.

    The wisdom of the indigenous people in the Philippines has been passed down through generations but is always drowned out by the noise of modern society. These communities have been carrying the torch for richness in culture, environmental wisdom, and spiritual strength through the ages. They are the heartbeat of our nation, deeply in touch with the land, yet continue to be one of the most marginalized groups in this country. Passively standing by and reflecting is all too done with; the actions come next. Valuing indigenous peoples, nurturing, and giving power to them creates not just a future where their voice is heard but sets pathways leading us toward justice in being truly sustainable and inclusive. Their struggle of survival is our struggle to justice because, through protecting the Indigenous Knowledge and Culture, we do end up protecting the very base for a National Identity.

    The rights of indigenous people in the Philippines are not a matter of mere legal necessity but one of moral responsibility. While the passage of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act was a milestone in history, 27 years hence, many indigenous communities still face threats to their land, culture, and self-determination. While large-scale industries continue to encroach on their ancestral lands, their cultural practices and beliefs are labeled "primitive." That is systemic injustice that mustn't continue. As a country and as individual people, it is our obligation to rise in the belief that indigenous peoples' rights are human rights. And we need to make sure that their voice is loud in every conversation, in every decision, about their land, about their lives.

    It is within this struggle that indigenous knowledge is at the forefront. From agriculture and natural resource management to disaster resilience and climate change, indigenous peoples have long been caretakers of sustainable practices. Their deep connection with the environment offers solutions that mainstream society often overlooks. It's time to recognize that their wisdom isn't just a relic of the past but a vital tool for the future. We must cease to look at indigenous knowledge as something "quaint" and move into welcoming it as integral to the solutions for our most intractable problems. The time has thus come when the voices of indigenous peoples should be heard, their rights respected, and their wisdom incorporated into development designs towards a common future that would be genuinely sustainable and equitable.

    The time to act is now. It's not good enough just talking about the value of indigenous culture and knowledge once a year; this needs to become part of our lives and policy. Valuing, nurturing, and honoring indigenous peoples must be more than the celebration of their culture but put in an empowered position to continue playing that vital role in the shaping of our country's future. Let us come, not as saviors, but as allies committed to the protection of their rights, preservation of their traditions, and recognition of their knowledge. It is a matter not only of justice but of survival for all of us. Let us make sure the heartbeat of our nation is heard, respected, and honored for generations to come.

    The indigenous people of the Philippines are more than the guardians of our natural heritage; they are the soul of our nation. The struggle for the rights of indigenous peoples is not an abstract issue, but a moral one and a call to action for us all. We must act now, but not as passive observers; rather, as active allies in this fight for justice, this fight for empowerment, and this fight for respect for indigenous communities. It is their strength, wisdom, and resilience that will guide us toward a sustainable future. Let us honor, protect, and empower them-not just today, but every day. The heartbeat of our nation is in its roots. Let’s make sure their heartbeat echoes through the future of our nation.

Weather the Storm, Together We’ll Reform

    The Earth is telling us a story we can't afford to ignore – but are we listening?

    Climate change in the Philippines isn't just a future threat; it is an absolute reality that has taken over the lives of millions today: scattered islands are being rapidly reshaped by rising seas, fiercer typhoons, and unpredictable weather patterns. Meanwhile, as the world watches in awe at nature's brute force, the Filipino people are known for their resilience and face the brunt of the challenge. But how long will strength and community spirit keep us afloat against such growing challenges time and time again? The sad thing is that the environment changes faster than our rate of change with it, and unless we take bold action, disastrous consequences await.

    The actions of humankind are at the very root of this environmental crisis. The dependence on fossil fuels, unregulated deforestation, and industrial growth has turned the planet into an overheated furnace. Deforestation, especially in the Philippines, leaves open land at the mercy of surging floods that course through communities with terrifying force. The direct implications of the destruction of the forests involve the amount of water, fertile soil, and natural habitats responsible for holding biodiversity. The rich and thriving soil is now being eroded and is unable to hold back heavy rains with disastrous flooding. Agricultural production-an already weather-vulnerable sector-is decreased in yield with the higher severity of water shortage.

    Harsh as it may be, the reality is that climate change is no longer a problem for some faraway future, but literally at our doorstep. The rising sea levels threaten to engulf the coastal communities that millions of Filipinos call home and depend on for life, while stronger and more frequent typhoons cut across massive swaths of the countryside, leaving survivors to try to piece together homes and lives. These disasters don't just create financial loss but also tear away hope-a cycle of hardship that few seem to rise above. 

    The resilience of the Filipino people is nothing less than extraordinary. Time and again, we have seen communities rise from the ashes of destruction, supporting each other with that indomitable spirit of bayanihan. From rebuilding homes following a typhoon, making ends meet to cultivate land amidst a drought, or coming together to provide aid in times of crisis, Filipinos have shown that no challenge presented is too great not to conquer. It is the resilience that has always been our strength, but it cannot be the sole solution for tomorrow.

    They talk about Filipino resilience with such admiration, but the truth is, it's not just bouncing back after a disaster; it's even more about thriving despite the challenges. Part of the reasons we rise from the rubble to rebuild our homes and lives lie in our community and hope. With every disaster, we see, not just survivors, but a people who find strength in unity, creativity, and optimism. Planting crops after a flood, rebuilding schools after a typhoon, taking care of our neighbors in need-Filipinos show us time and again that we are more than just resilient; we are flexible and determined to make our world better. While such resilience is important, it must also be paired with a proactive approach in fighting climate disasters through prevention and preparation so that the future we are striving for is sustainable, not just for ourselves, but for generations to come.

    As the reality of climate change continues to hit us head-on, so too must our efforts for a paradigm shift wherein protection, preservation, and action lie at the heart of every decision. It is not just a question of survival but an assurance that, in the future, our children will still be able to enjoy our culture and natural beauty. This calls us to act now and to never wait for another storm, another disaster, or another generation to have lived through the grim consequences of our inaction. For today, every step undertaken-from the strengthening of our environmental laws to embracing more viable sustainable energy solutions-shall set in stone what the future holds for the Philippines. Let us channel our resilience into meaningful action now, as the planet and people deserve nothing less than a surviving future but one that thrives.

    We have weathered storms before, but the time has come to steer our future towards safer shores. Let us not wait for another disaster to remind us of our strength, rather let it be used now for a sustainable tomorrow.
