ICT: Season 2

 


        Another quarter has passed and yet again, new knowledge has been acquired. This quarter’s topic was fun at most but sometimes also quite difficult, especially with all the rules and tags to keep in mind. In addition, we still continued posting blogs this quarter. I must admit, it is fun and fulfilling to see long we’ve been keeping this up.

        As of the challenges and problems, well, there are already a lot of problems in the traditional face-to-face classes, so what more on modular distance learning? To name a few that I have personally encountered, is first and foremost, the slow, unstable and often no internet connection. This is really a pain in the ass because most of the activities require internet. Second, some lessons are hard to comprehend. At most, it takes me 2 to 3 times reading it before actually understanding. Third, some instructions are vague, unclear and at times misleading. This is very troublesome; I sometimes end up arguing with a classmate on whether who is right or not.

        Just as the responsible and independent student that I am, I have to deal with these challenges. To start off, since I have no control over the internet connection that is entirely on the service provider’s account. Kidding aside, mobile data was available and thankfully that was enough. As for the other problems, I simply took a quick break to refresh my mind and then got back to work on my modules. This technique really helps me especially when I’m on the verge of having a breakdown.

        After all that fun but also excruciating long quarter, we can all agree that we deserve a break, don’t you think? Well, if you ask me, I wouldn’t want to start the next quarter already feeling drained. Also, with all the all-nighters many of the students pulled off, I believe it’s just right and healthy to have a quick break before the next quarter comes.

        Moving on, I only hope that topics will not be overly complicated to understand, given the fact that students learn by ‘self-studying’ now. Nevertheless, I will continue to thrive and learn amid the pandemic.

The Duterte Regime

September 9, 2020 Dear President, As a concerned youth and citizen of the Philippines, I am writing to address the difficulties and struggles that our nation is experiencing due to the current crisis and to apprise and condemn the missteps and errors occurred amid the global pandemic under your jurisdiction.   As the COVID-19 pandemic started to invade our country, we had high hopes that you would be on top of everything and that you would respond to this situation immediately and efficiently, but sadly, you did not. You did not prioritize the current crisis nor the lives of your people. Instead, you prioritized to silence the dissent of your countrymen by implementing the Anti-Terrorism Bill, the shutdown of ABS-CBN that affected the livelihood of 11,000 Filipino families and the white sand project in Manila Bay that claims to help Filipinos’ mental health.  These actions are not necessarily needed in the midst of a pandemic.  We, Filipinos never wanted militarism ...

A Step Towards National Resilience

                       Every year, the Philippines face devastating losses caused by natural disasters including catastrophic typhoons, tremendous earthquakes and other hazards coupled with their associated consequences that have massive impacts on the nation's communities, economy, infrastructure and environment. As of the moment, the Philippines, as well as other countries, continue to battle the challenges and struggles brought by the novel Coronavirus.                   The current COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the need for the Philippines to devote more effort to anticipatory governance, notably through well-established and cooperative emergency management and reconstruction and development of future-proof policies and legislation that serves both current needs and longer-term aspirations of Filipino citizens.            ...

Here's to 2021!

            The world welcomed 2020 with positivity and joy but little did we know it would be a year full of uncertainties and surprises, achievements and failures, and everything else no one asked for. Priorities changed, plans got cancelled. Anxieties and negativities prevailed. Despite all those trying times and hardships that everyone faced, I choose to be grateful. Grateful because we survived 2020 and for that, I want all of us to pat ourselves on the back for getting through these tribulations and adversities.           Now, it’s time to turn the page and leave the past well behind. It’s time to let go of bad energy, negative thoughts and whatever habits that hinders us to flourish and grow. Let us all create a space for everything that we desire. We have a fresh start ahead of us, so be ready to grow, heal and upgrade in every area of our life. Together let us be optimistic about the journey that awaits us this 20...
