MOVE ON... AND TAKE ANOTHER STEP FORWARD...

   For the first one and a half month of this school year 2013-2014, I can say that some days were not like a school day because we don't do much, and some are like the last days of the year because of many works we do. 

  We had 10 subject, some were handled and some had problems. And for those 10 subjects, I can say that the hardest subject was our ICT because of the schedule and "sagabals". Now, because we are in our fourth year of high school, which some of the 4th year student are now CAT OFFICERS, and almost all in our class are officers. They had many obligations for the school and many training. Also the schedule of our ICT is on 4:00-5:00 pm, which is time for the CATs and also the time for club meetings.

   But with those "sagabals", it made our bond stronger and made us study more to be prepared for the test. And it me realize that even if I had notes, I still need to read it and scan it for me to be prepared, also it made me realize to make the requirement or activities on time and better.

  For this 2nd and the coming 3rd and 4th grading, I promise to myself to do my best and make sure that these grading will me better, easier and effective.

STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS 2013

            Last, July 22, 2013 at the Session Hall of the Representatives, Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon City, President Benigno S. Aquino III delivered his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA). the SONA 2013, lasted for 1 hour and 40 minutes, at 55 pages, and was considered his longest address since he was elected to post on 2010.

           There are 2 main topic that he had talk about in his speech, which are: "Tamang daan na Tinatahak" where he talked about the last election where 9 seats out of 12 of the candidates he endorsed, occupied the highest 9 seats in the senate, and also his accomplishments for the past three years of his administration. And one of his topics is the TESDA-DOLE scholarship. The total of 403,521 students estimated that six out of ten scholars land a job, which posed a significant increase from the employment rate among TESDA scholars in the past years.

            And he said, "Noong araw po, ayon sa pag-aaral ng DBM noong 2006 hanggang 2008, ang nakakahanap ng trabaho sa mga napagtapos TESDA: 28.5 percent lamang. Noong lumipas na taon naman po: sa IT-BPO program, 70.9 percent ang unemployment rate ng ating mga nagtapos sa TESDA. Sa electronics and semiconductor program naman, umabot sa 85 percent na mga nagtapos noong 2012 ang nagkatrabaho. Malinaw po: Kayo mismo ang huhubog, kayo mismo ang magdidikta kung hinog at matamis ang bungang kolektibo nating pipitasin, o kung magiging bulok at katiting ang kahihinatnan ng mga pagkakataong bumubukas sa kabanatang ito ng ating kasaysayan."

            Also, he tackled the "Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program", "Educational Reforms", "Agricultural Reforms", "Health Programs", "Readiness in Calamities", "Housing Programs", "Enhancement at the Armed Forces and Police", "Secure and Fair Elections", "Peace and Order Situation in Mindanao", "Enhanced Tourism Industry", " Economic Growth", and "Issues that he thinks need to be done".

"GUTOM AT MALNUTRISYON SAMA-SAMA NATING WAKASAN"

    

       

For this July 2013, we celebrate the Nutrition month, which has the theme "GUTOM AT MALNUTRISYON SAMA-SAMA NATING WAKASAN."

        In old times, starvation and malnutrition were not the major problem of our country. We didn't have over populated places, we had enough food for the people. But, compared to our current day, many people now are suffering from starvation and being malnourished because we have over populated places especially some parts of Manila, which we call now "squatter's area".

        Lack of food, healthy and nutritious food, is one reason so some of them only eat rice with salt or oil, or even skipping the meal. And if these increasing population and decreasing food supplies, more people will suffer starvation and malnutrition.

         So, for the people who are suffering from it we could help them by having free medical missions, giving or donating food supply. And by doing so, we can prevent people from starvation and malnutrition. And if this continuous  and with their cooperation these problems can be removed.
