Buwan ng Wika

  Buwan ng Wika is an annual celebration of Filipino as the national and widely spoken language in the Philippines. Initiated by Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF), it is celebrated every month of August and this year's theme is "Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa isang bansang Filipino."

  Philippines is a unique country for it has 130 dialects. Can you imagine how Filipinos understand each other? Out of the 130 dialects, Philippines has only one official language and that is the Filipino language. Buwan ng wika is celebrated to preserve our own language and to remind us that we need to preserve this for the next generation.

  "Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa isang bansang Filipino." Filipino as the National language is a bridge of over a hundred dialects all over the country that will enrich the Filipino language. Respect and love our own language.

New Knowledge

       Learning is a part of our lives. Everyday we are learning. Everyday we gain new knowledge. And that is the best thing in life.
       During the first quarter of our ICT 10, I have learned and discovered many things. Internet is the first thing I've learned in our first quarter of ICT 10. I've discovered the history of internet, on how internet was improved from time to time, the beginning of internet up to the present. I have also learned the "Web log" or the "blog", the different kinds of blog and the best thing I've learned is how to make my own blog.
       I have encountered problems and challenges during our ICT 10. First of all, I am not that kind of person who knows very well about technology and the internet. I just know a little bit. Another problem or challenge  I've encountered is that doing my own "blog".  It's a challenge because I am not good at expressing my thoughts.
      During our discussions about internet I try to understand it very well. The handouts given to us is helpful for me and also with the help of my classmates I've understand it. In doing our own blog, I try to read and research about our topic and I also ask for some help from my classmates.
      Moving on, I will get ready for the next lessons. I will listen carefully during our discussions. I will try to be strong if I will encounter challenges and problems. I will never stop learning.

National Resiliency Month: “Kahandaan sa Sakuna’t Peligro Para sa tunay na pagbabago.”

            We all know that because of the topographic location of our country is the reason why we are experiencing natural disasters. Philippines is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire that’s why we are experiencing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Beside Philippine island is the Pacific Ocean where typhoons are originating. Natural Disasters are uncontrollable and unpredictable but we have one thing to do and that is to be ready. 

          Natural disasters are uncontrollable. We don't have supernatural power to stop it we can lessen the loss of properties and lives by being ready. That is why it is so important to put time in planning and preparation before the disaster strikes. Disaster preparedness refers to the preventative measures taken to reduce the disaster effects. 

         In order for us to be prepared before a disaster strikes here are some ways to do before a disaster; For typhoon: Have emergency kits and survival packs prepared these should contain medicine, cash, important documents, whistles, and extra clothes. Store food and clean water enough for three days. That’s two gallons of water per person per day. Prepare candles, flashlights and extra batteries in case the power goes out. Listen to the radio or watch TV for news updates. For earthquake: Make sure you have a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, a battery-powered radio, a flashlight, and extra batteries at home. Learn first aid. Learn how to turn off the gas, water, and electricity. Make up a plan of where to meet your family after an earthquake. Don't leave heavy objects on shelves (they'll fall during a quake). Anchor heavy furniture, cupboards, and appliances to the walls or floor. Learn the earthquake plan at your school or workplace. 

          If you stay ready, you won't have to get ready.
