For a Philppines That Will Protect Its Tomorrow

 
 
     Why do grown-ups harm those who has no power? Those who cannot defend themselves. Are they so heartless that they wouldn't even think twice when harming children? Every November, the Philippines observes National Children’s Month to emphasize the importance of children’s rights and welfare. In 2024, the theme, “Break the Prevalence, End the Violence: Protecting Children, Creating a Safe Philippines,” serves as both a rallying call and a reminder of the urgent need to address violence against children in all its forms. For them to no longer face the tragedy of abuse nor neglect.


  Foundation of not only this country's future, but also this planet's destined tomorrow, that is the youth. They will be the North Star which will lead the world in times of innovation but also hardships. Rightfully called to be the inheritors of the world, and will mold the current norms our society has. They will light up our technological advancements with their innovative and bright minds. However, the acts of domestic violence are still rampant, adults abuse and exploit children who has in no way fighting back. Children especially at a young age must be carefully guided and taught. They should be given lessons, values and most of all love and adorement, not fists, bruises and blood. Childhood is the most significant period to a persons growth and development, yet, millions of children still experience violence and abuse today. Experiencing sexual, physical, emotional and mental harm that will stick with them till they grow up to be adults. Enveloping them with unforgettable scars and bruises that will leave them reminders of their troubled past. 

  Thus, protecting children of today will ensure a well tomorrow. So we ask each and every individual - men, women, rich, poor, to each filipino and even to the foreigners, I ask you as a filipino, a part of the youth, and as a human being to make testament, a stand that will safeguard the rights and welfare of children.

    As we end off my 2nd quarter journey ICT, I had a lot of things to learn, and predominantly, this was the basic unit of websites being HTML tags. Me and my classmates learned the basics of utilizing HTML tags. Creating simple arrticles, manipulating character attributes, font size, tables, frames and so much more. Getting more and more used to dealing with HTML coding and how it works. Uasge of HTML tags that we will carry on in our minds as we go on with our lives.    The first thing we learned about is container tags and stand alone tags. With container tags needing two other kinds of tags, being the start tag and end tag; the start tag indicates where the effect will start and the end tag will indicate where the effect of the tag will end, normally indicated by a slash( / ).

A summit I shall overcome

     Venturing out in my last years of Junior High school, it's still in the first quarter and it has already been a hassling start to the school year. Yet I had fun, various more activities that I have participated in living in the joyous moments along with others. Furthermore, in these beginnings, I have found the true extent of my abilities. Now brimming with confidence, I can now articulate my ideas much more properly during lectures now my voice can resonate with my thoughts. While also seeing my latent abilities such as swift comprehension, long-term and short-term, logical and analytical strengths to be getting better and better. Also, this slothful mindset of mine has now seem to be getting smaller, now being able to accomplish my tasks with ease. But, I still have much yet to learn.    In not only my highschool years, but also throughout my whole school life, I always seemed to have an attitude towards my academics to be lazy. A mountain that I have kep...

    Lien Dixzel Quindag Alconcel, that was the name of the boy, who's birth was unplanned. Yet his parents (Mr. Engelbert Alconcel and Mrs. Lilibeth Alconcel) did everything they could to nurture and nourish this bright young boy. This boy was one of the two sons of these couple. All of them lived in a nice middle class besides the creek of Pantay Tanurong within the municipality of Caoayan. As he grew older, his parents realised his immense prowess in logical Mathematics! The explorative Science! And the communicative English! Yet these prominence came with a defect. That amazing young boy thought that he could be the most outstanding without lifting a book, putting in only the bare minimum. And yet he did became the best, until he went to highschool, where his effortlessness came with consequences.  As I enter highschool, topics became more complex, activities became more tedious andtests needed more brain power to take. Even though, I still became the most outstanding ...
