Day of Valor: commemorating the fall of Bataan

 





The Philippines is one of the historic countries worldwide, April 9, 1942, is one of the historic dates that have a significant impact on our country which is the Philippines.

According to historians, the day of valor was meant to recall the thousands of Filipinos who dedicated their lives to free the country during world war II. This is the day that honors the death of those who sacrifice their lives for our country. We owe the country’s freedom to them so it is just right to have a day to commemorate them right?

To my fellow students, let us not acknowledge “Araw ng Kagitingan” as a national holiday (which means no classes) instead let us honor the lives of our fellow Filipinos who give their lives defending our country.

Araw ng Kasarinlan

  For over 300 years, the Philippines was a Spanish colony, and is named after King Philip II of Spain.   The Philippines has two  days of independence. Celebrated on  June  12th, it  recognizes the day the islands  were liberated  from Spanish rule. However,  US  forces occupied the Philippines until 1946. Independence came on July 4, the same day as  US  Independence Day, but Filipinos recognize June 12 as the day of their  legitimate  independence.  The independence  of the Philippines was a  great achievement.    Independence Day commemorates  the sacrifices of  national heroes, honors  the  country's sovereignty, instills  nationalism in citizens,  and celebrates  the culture and  traditions  of its people.    parades  are held  nationwide  with  the  participation  of  the  government...

Just the way I am

  This is Norlie Grace Acelador, 15 years of old. My birthday is on December 12. I was raised and have been residing at Lingsat Bantay, Ilocos Sur, for a decade and a year now. What I like about our province is that we are surrounded by nature, and I just love it, it’s so relaxing to see.   If I were to describe myself, I could say that I'm a quiet person because I prefer keeping things to myself. I often tend to keep my thoughts and opinions to myself, maybe because I’m scared that people will say things, maybe because I’m afraid to be criticized because of my opinions and maybe deep inside me, I still think that I’m a little girl not yet ready to face the world, the reality.   I always overthink everything, like what people might think about me when I talk. Because I always imagine them talking about me and laughing at me. Always feeling anxious when walking in public places where there is a lot of people. Now, I realized maybe I’m just too insecure to be me, maybe ...

“The need to be educated”

  From traditional to digitalized media where information’s hard to achieve to a digitalized media where information and data are highly accessible in just a single click, surely the world has vastly changed. Mostly nowadays teenagers are focused on online platforms where they can access any website they want with or without the consent of their parents. Yes, these online platforms give a lot of information about almost everything that you’re curious about but the problem is are all the information you read speaks about facts or is merely hearsay. Also because the world has become digitalized lots of people are focusing more on the present issues and present online teas they often forget the past. If not because of their school requirements I bet only a few people would be engaged in research and such. Instead of spending our spare time online lurking and stalking celebrities why don’t we be productive and use our spare time to research the things we don’t know. Just like the...
