Help of a Person becoming the help of the Nation

Since the formation of the Philippines islands millions of years ago, the location of the Philippines is said to be one of the disaster prone countries all over the world. By land, ocean, and even air, our country received so much devastating disasters and calamities. Volcanic eruption, earthquakes and typhoons are only few examples wherein The Philippines is really a disaster prone country.

Filipinos are known to be hard working and kind people, and despite the harsh and wicked disasters that Filipinos need to face, they still manage to show their brightest smiles to whomever visits the country. However, behind these smiles are hardships and full of people living in poverty, full of sickness and diseases. But because of optimism, they manage to pull every challenge and problem through. And as a Filipino, I have experienced these different kinds of disaster, however not much worse than what they suffer from. We are very lucky to be safe in times of these disasters but what about those Filipinos who suffer? They don't deserve this kind of treatment.

About the resiliency of a Filipino, we are known to help one another in times of calamities and disasters but let's be honest. Our time of rehabilitation is quite slow, however on the bright side it is slightly improving. We must continue to be kind with one another, and we should show to our fellow Filipinos that they are not alone, and that they have support right in their backs.

Yes the treatment might be slow but that won't stop us to believe that there is still a room for a brighter future for our country. With sincere action, we can pull back up all the damages, all the lost hopes, all the destruction, and the entire casualty. Restore humanity by helping one another, and achieve goodness for every Filipino.

Reflection

The 1st grading quarter was unexpectedly full of topics and lessons, as a Grade 10 student, I have discovered and learnt a lot the past discussions and meeting. I was able to know and identify the different pioneers and architects behind the "Internet" Not only that but I was able to create my own blog with my classmates and batch mates. It was a fun and challenging experience and this year gave us knowledge about how the internet was slowly created and who among the Filipinos contributed in the process of creating the internet. 

Some difficulties were founded when I was creating essays somehow my mind just turned black and could not think of any words to fill my 1st article, however with the help of my classmates; we were exchanging ideas and thoughts about that certain topic and by communicating with them my mind functioned and created what I have written and posted into this account. As time goes by, many discussions have been made and I was having a hard time in memorizing the history of the internet, but with full dedication; I reviewed hard and gave my best to answer the given test. All of us face challenges, and it is up to us on how we can overcome it by doing what we do best; by being ourselves.

Moving on, I will do my best to improve my skills in ICT. I will strive hard and give my best efforts with confidence so I could give a wonderful performances in these following quarters. And I would do my best to pass this subject and to make myself and my parents proud.

Embedded journalism, the practice of placing journalists within and under the control of one side’s military during an armed conflict. Embedded reporters and photographers are attached to a specific military unit and permitted to accompany troops into combat zones. Embedded journalism was introduced by the U.S. Department of Defense during the Iraq War (2003–11) as a strategic response to criticisms about the low level of access granted to reporters during the Persian Gulf War (1990–91) and the early years of the Afghanistan War (which began in 2001).

Filipino ating palaguin, Pilipinas ating paunlarin

Ang paggamit ng sariling wika ay isang sinyales na sila ay makabayan. Dahil ang paggamit nito ay may mahalagang papel sa pag-unlad ng isang bansa, ngunit dahil tayo ay tumitira sa modernong mundo, marami na tayong inangkop na mga salita at kultura. Isa rin sa mga dahilan kung bakit maraming inangkop na mga tradisyon at salita ang Pilipinas ay dahil sa malawakang kasaysayan nito. Sapagkat ang Pilipinas ay nasakop ng iba't ibang bansa tulad ng Amerika. Sa paglipas ng maraming taon, ang mga tradisyon na ating naangkop sa ating mga mananakop ay ating pinagpatuloy hanggang sa tayo ay masanay, Ngunit dapat tayo ay gumawa na ng pagbabago at tangkilikin ang sariling atin. Sa taong ito, ang tema ng  buwan ng wika ay "Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik".

Sa palagay ko, ang wika ng saliksik ay ang mas madalas na paggamit ng ating wika sa mga gawain tulad ng mga ulat, at pagsusulat ng mga takdang aralin. Ayon sa tema, hinihikayat tayong mga Pilipino na gamitin at palawakin ang kuhulugan ng ating wika. Huwag nating hayaan na mabalewala ang lahat ng pinaghirapan ng ating mga ninuno sa pamamagitan ng pagbabalewala ng ating wika. Palalimin natin ang ating pagkakaunawa at pagkakaintindi patungkol sa paksang ito. Ang pagigiging makabayan ay mahalaga, sapagkat ipinapakita natin ang ating pagmamahal sa ating bansa at sa ating sariling atin. Sa paglipas ng taon, aking naoobserbahan na ang madalas na ginagamit nating salita ay pinaghalong Filipino(Tagalog) at Ingles at tinawag itong "taglish." Nais ko lang linawin na hidni isang krimen ang pagsasalita nito, ngunit dapat nating pag-aralan ng mas mabuti ang ating wika, dahil ang ating wika ay isa sa mga nagpapakilala sa ating mga Pilipino. Bigyan natin ng oras ang pagpapalawak ng ating pagkilala sa ating wika. 

Gawin natin ang wikang Filipino bilang ating pangunahin wika, tayo ay magtulungan upang hindi ito mawala sa ating mga Pilipino. Patibayin natin ang ating paggamit ng wikang Filipino, at huwag nating ikahiyang gamitin ito, sapagkat dumaan sa maraming paghihirap at digmaan ang ating mga ninuno upang magkaroon lamang tayo ng ating sariling wika at isang malayang bansang titirhan ng bawat Pilipino. Paunlarin natin ang sariling atin, upang maibalik antin ang ating titulo na isa sa mga mayayamang bansa sa Asya. Isipin, kumilos, umaksyon, para sa mas maunlad na Nasyon.
