Filipino's Capabilities to Adjust through Misfortunes

The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. Because of it's location, near the large Pacific Ocean Region where many of of the volcanic eruptions occur (The Ring of Fire). It is also in a weather pathway near the equator known as the "typhoon belt".

Yearly, atleast 20 typhoons hit our poor country. Because the Western Pacific Ocean region where typhoons are formed is located at the East of the Philippines. Just last month, a state of calamity has been declared in several provinces in Northern Philippines, including Manila after the non-stop rain.

The continuous rain brought by two successive typhoons affected some areas and shut down some Educational Institutions and Government Offices. Some town had evacuated to temporary shelters.
Filipinos are nothing if not resilient in their time at calamities. Over the years, our Government has learned their lessons on how to respond and be prepared on any natural disaster.

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) together with Department of Social Welfare and Development and some government agencies work together to help Filipinos at anytime in need.

Maybe or not probably, it is the Filipino's sense of humor that is always on it's height while experiencing a disaster. They like to make fun out of themselves while in the middle of it.

Citizens who belong to the work force do their very best to be on their respective jobs no matter how long it takes and how hard it seems to be.

Well, no amount of words can express how Filipinos look at calamities and disasters at a different perspective. They have accepted that calamities come and go. What matters most is how they make something good out of them. Resilience is a character that Filipinos are very proud of: being hopeful, happy, and positive while experiencing unfavorable and hard situations such as calamities.

Reflection

For the first quarter, I have learned so many things in the subject ICT and while learning throughout the first quarter. I had many discoveries that I made in which those discoveries I had with my classmates was all about internet, blogs, and to whom and when and how it all started until they are able to create these. For me not knowing about the creators of the internet I feel so out of place but now that I've learned about them, I feel so proud.

Though while I was learning about the internet, blogs and the history of it. I have encountered problems during the first quarter like on how to make blogs and learning the history. Not only is this my problem at first but also having not enough time to make all of the requirements because they all came at me at once.

Regardless of this, I am thankful that my hard work in to making blogs like this has made me more confident in making blogs. That while doing this, I continue to have more confidence and at the same time I am having fun. Even though it's hard I think to myself that this is for the betterment of me to know things like doing a simple blog.

Moving on, I will continue to make blogs like this because it's very fun. And I continue look forward to the new things that I might learn in the near future.

Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik

 Tuwing Agosto ipinagdidriwang natin ang buwan ng wika at sa taong ito ang tema ay Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik.

Bilang isang Filipino dapat pahalagahaan at mahalin ang ating sariling wika. Upang mapaunlad  ang ating bansa dapat ang wika natin ang gamitin patungo sa pambansang pagkakaunawaan. Dapat taas noo nating ipagmalaki ang sariling wika, ito ay dapat natin pagyabangin at pagyamanin at mahalin ang sariling atin.

Anim na taon ang nakalipas inilunsad ng DepEd and pagdagdag sa kurikulum sa elementarya ang subject na Mother Tongue. Magandang programa ito para sa mga kabataan na pag-aralan ang sarili nating dialect. Hindi natin maitatanggi na sa panahong ngayon masmarami na ang nagsasalita ng Ingles kesa sa gumagamit sa sariling dialekto. Buti na lamang at naisipan nilang idagdag ito sa ating aralin kundi ang wika nating Filipino ay mapapalitan ng Ingles.
