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.

Just the way I am

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 ...
