Equal Rights, Equal Opportunity

“Equal Rights, Equal Opportunity: A Powerful Relationship”

Men and women have roles – their roles are different, but their rights are equal.

                                                     -Harri Holkeri

          

           All of us humans, created to live in this world, have our own rights and opportunities. Girl or boy, lesbian or gay, normal people or with disability, rich or people, every one of us must be treated equally.  Yes! Many people believe on this. But, does EQUALITY between humans really exist this time?

      

              When I heard the word EQUALITY, the first thing that comes to my mind is about men and women. We know one of the things or issue that we are facing is the Gender Equality. Being treated by someone equally even though if you are men or women. But for my opinion, based from my observation, Equality this time doesn’t still exist. We have the so called DISCRIMINATION.It’s an action that denies social participation or human rights to categories of people based on prejudice. This includes treatment of an individual or group based on their actual or perceived membership in a certain group or social category, "in a way that is worse than the way people are usually treated". Many of us under estimate the women when it comes to doing things, right? Doing heavy things, means we need a men to do it. That is what we know. But we must be treated equally. If men like me can do things what women can do, women can also what we do. Some examples of this are, this time boys are the one who is doing the household chores while girls are the one who is doing their job for her family, right? Everyone shall know what our right is. We must be treated equally, no discrimination, no abuse, no favouritism.

          In the eye of our creator, we are all equal. We have the equal rights and opportunities in this world. And if this equality will exist, men and women will have a powerful relationship. A Powerful relationship to a better country.  

SCIENCE MONTH CELEBRATION

Science Month 2k14

                     Every month of September, annually we celebrate the so called, National Science Month Celebration. And the theme for this year 2014 goes like this, " Immunation : Arming Science Clubbers with Healthful Defences towards National Wellmess". Sounds like it was very complicated right?

                      God gave us these very beautiful paradise to care. And gave us life to care for it and to use us as his guardian to his creatures. In the past years, people were not experiencing many calamities and illnesses. Not like this day, there are already many diseases was discovered and we already experience it. For me, base from my observation, it is caused by our surroundings also. Because we people don't care what is happening in our environment. We just threw our garbage on whatever or whenever we want. And these are so many live microorganisms that can cause us ill.

                        This year's science club month theme is very timely. Because we know that we are facing many problems related to our health already. And by this theme, it reminds us to know more about these diseases that can damage our health and how to take care our environment. This will help people to realize what really the value of our health.

                             Everyone of us is a Science clubbers. We can be guardian of mother earth. We will face together on any problems and be armed. We must act now ! ! !

MODERN HERO

 My Parents, My Hero 

                     Hero!!! When one heard of this word, the first thing that will come to their mind or the first thing that they will say that he is Superman, Batman, or Cat woman, etc. This idea is very common to us already when it comes to HERO.

                    For me, heroes are not only the one with super powers or the one that save life of the others. Everyone of us can be a hero in our own way. And my heroes of my life is, my father and my mother.

                    Why did I say that my parents are my hero? Simply because, they are the one who took care of me and they are the reason why I am right here now. They've done everything and sacrificed everything just to support me for my needs as well as the needs of our family. And also the most important thing about them is, they really love me very much. They are the first one who helped me especially in my downfalls. They are the one who gave me hope, to achieve my dreams. For me, my parents is my true treasure. They are the best gift and the best hero I've ever had. And I thank God, because he gave me this two people who really care, love and fight for me. Without them, I am nothing.

                    Heroes are not only the one who save people with their supernatural powers they have. Anyone can be a hero on their own way. And I consider my father and my mother as my hero. Without them, I wouldn't be here right now where I am standing right now. Just like in the saying by Michael Jordan, " My heroes are and were my parents, I cannot see having anyone else as my heroes" .

                  Ang wika ay napakahalaga sa atin. Lalo na ang wikang filipino. Ang wikang filipino na siyang sumisimbolo sa bawat mamamayang Pilipino. Kung ano sila, kung anong kultura mayroon sila at kung ano meron sa kanila. Wikang Filipino rin ang siyang ginamit ng ating mga magigiting na mga bayani para sa pagkamit ng ating kalayaan laban sa mga dayuhang umapi sa atin. Ito ang nagsilbing panangga at sandata nila laban sa mga mapang-aping dayuhan. Ang bawat Pilipino'y nagkaisa para sa pagkamit ng ating kalayaan. Ang temang "Wikang Filipino: Wika ng Pagkakaisa", ay nagpapaalala sa ating mga Pilipino na gamitin ang ating sariling wika at magkaisa. Magkaisa laban sa mga problema, para sa sakuna at magkaisa para sa 

ika-uunlad ng ating bansang Pilipinas. Wikang siya'ng ginamit noon sa pagkamit ng kalayaan, ngayo'y ating gagamitin para sa kaunlaran. Pag-unlad na matagal na nating minimithi ng bawat Pilipino. Ikanga, Wika natin ang daang matuwid.

                  Wikang Filipino'y napaka-importante. Ito'y ating gamitin at higit sa lahat ito'y ating bigyan ng halaga. Dahil ang wikang ito ang siya'ng ating gagamiting sandata't panangga para sa ika-uunlad ng ating bansang Pilipinas. Wikang Filipino: Wika ng Pagkakaisa.

   

SONA 2K14

SONA, What have been done?

               Another year has gone and the president will again be reporting what has been done in the past years. The big question is, is there a big improvement during his time of regime?

              In his fifth year of delivering his State of the Nation Address, people kept on wondering what the president has done for the country. There’s this DAP or the Disbursement Acceleration Program that he keeps on talking about which contributed lots of money to TESDA which enables many students from this program to graduate. Well, people might say that our president is not credible for there are few improvements that we see. We can’t blame citizens of our country for their reaction about the SONA because we can’t seem to see the improvements the president has been talking about. 

                According to the president, he is contented with the accomplishments of his administrations. But does these accomplishments that he has done worth it for the people? The president stated about the country’s growing economy, the poverty’s alleviation, as well as the government’s speedy response about the typhoon “Yolanda”. Another question is, are these accomplishments he’s saying really was accomplished? 

             The president stated that they worked to have the ability of the fund the projects they have implemented, the project they are implementing and the project that he will be implementing. There are many efforts of the government especially the times of the Yolanda-typhoon. They exerted they’re power and energy for the people to be okay. He stated that the roads, airports and the endless repairs for Tacloban was immediately responded but through the action of the government that the people see, they having second thoughts on this acknowledgements the president have spoken. 

               It is very common that the president is always giving promises during State of the Nation Address. But the despite the said achievements and plan of the government, there are many protesters that marched during the occurrence of the SONA and according to this protesters that he is the Pork Barrel King but the president didn’t mentioned anything about the PDAF. 

             Despite all these allegations and accusations to Pnoy, he still keeps his integrity that he has no involvement with the said PDAF. And to him, there is progression of the country and it is because of the success of his leadership. As he always say, we are his’ boss and he always try to navigate the straight path. 

                    With his SONA, he expressed his self in a way that the citizen may understand him. Maybe in the next years, there will be many improvements of our country and with those, the citizen wished that they can already see the promises and the achievements the president have been talking about. They prospect a very good action about the economic problems in our country and not only tell it but do it. For me, the SONA is credible but I expect for the much improvement of the country and show it to the citizens of the Philippines because citizens only believe what they saw. Until our faith and trust is still whole, it is proven that the Filipino is worth dying for, the Filipino is worth living for. And added to that, the Filipino is definitely worth fighting for.

REFLECTION : FIRST QUARTER

ICT IS FUN

                   June 2, 2014 when we came back in our school to start a new school year. And now, the first quarter of the school year is already done. And just like I didn't notice it that the first quarter is already over.And I really learned a lot after the first quarter of this year 2014-2015. And of the subject that I've really learned a lotis the ICT.

                    Ever since I was first year, ICT is already one of my favorite subject. Because I am really interested on what we are doing during this subject and what our teachers taught to us. just like last year, we are just like programmers. And my love for this subject never fades. During my first quarter with our teacher Mrs. Evelyn Vera Cruz, I've really learned a lot. One of it is about the Internet. Which started in the year 1983.  But the topic that really catch my interest is about blog. And on this topic I've really learned a lot.  If last year we are programmers,  this year we also experienced being a blogger. I've learned a lot just like creating a post and publishing it, changing it's template and background picture and many more about blog. And of course I learned about the different personalities and their contribution on the development of Internet.  One of it is Vinton Cerf,  the father of Internet. The only thing that I've encountered a problem is  on  combining search terms.  During the scavenger hunt,  I've encountered this on how to apply the so called phrase searching, Boolean logic, pseudo-Boolean logic, and term weighing. Then after that I encountered it, I scanned again mu notes and remind what my teacher taught us and told to us what to do. And I was able to passed that problem. But all in all, first quarter is really fun and exciting.

                   Moving on, I will be doing my very best on any activities in this subject to prove that I am deserving to be in the special science class.  And of course my love love will never fade on this subject I hope that the other quarters will be more interesting and fun to learn.

INSIGHT FOR THE THEME OF NUTRITION MONTH 2014

Healthy Body to Any Calamity

            

           As we all know, the month of July is the annual celebration for the Nutrition Month in the Philippines. And the theme for the 2014 Nutrition Month Celebration is “Kalamidad Paghandaan: Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan”.  But some people tend to still ask, why we need to celebrate it. So what really is the reason? What are the aim/goals of it?

           

                  According to PH ACCESS, there are three goals of celebrating it. First, to promote intervention to address nutritional needs in emergencies and disaster. Second, to mobilize responders particularly the local nutritional clusters and stakeholders to address gaps in nutrition in emergencies response from national barangay levels. And last, to increase awareness among families and individuals on coping and resiliency strategies to prevent malnutrition and worsening nutritional slams in times of emergencies and disasters. All of the aims or goals are related to our health and to disasters. That’s why they come up with the theme, “Kalamidad Paghandaan: Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan”. The theme is very appropriate because as we all know, our country have experienced already many calamities or disasters that causes deaths to many people here in the Philippines.

         

                   The theme reminds us to become healthy for any calamity that we will face in the future. Let us gave importance in celebrating the Nutrition month. Because being healthy means being ready to any calamity.

Letter To The President of The Republic of the Philippines

July 2, 2014

President Benigno "Noynoy" S. Aquino III
Malacańang Palace
Manila, NCR
Philippines


Dear Mister President,

                    Greetings in the name of the Lord Honorable President Benigno S. Aquino III. I hope when this letter reached you, or you will be able to read it, you are not busy. Though I know you have a hectic schedule because you are the president of this republic, I still wish you to take time to read my letter. This letter way just be simple but I believe this is the easiest way for one to talk to you though I will not be able to see your reaction. This letter contains my sentiments and my fellow citizen of this country.

               I just want to ask if there is really justice for all. I am not questioning how you manage our country's justice system but I observe nowadays that justice for the non-high profiled individuals is too slow or the worst, not achieved or given. There is inequality in terms of justice to the poor. While the high-profiled individuals, to make it overstatement, seems that they're the one who decide for themselves or simply they make it as they're advantage to the poor one. It's unfair, right Mr. President? Maybe you can't see this scenario on the justice system but I hope through this letter, you will see the true content of how justice is being served to the Filipinos.     

                    I still hope to see that "Tuwid na Daan", you promised to us citizen. What I uncovered to you, Mr. President, may not be important but I believe it must be addressed. To attain true progress, Mr. President, we must have equality. If we have equality, we will have unity that will lead us to the way of being successful. Mr. President, I end my letter here. Thank you very much for sparing a little time of reading my letter. God bless you, Mr. President.

                                                                                                                                                    Sincerely,

                                                                                                                                             Christian Alejo
