ICT: Season 3

 


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 because it requires us to research and to know more about the community that we are included in.

At first, I thought I already knew everything about our community but then our third quarter lesson made me realize that my knowledge about our community was just a scratch on its surface. There is so much things that I have learnt and so much more to discover. It also made me realize that conducting Community-based Research can give a great impact to the community and its people, it helps people understand how their local environments affects its population’s health, general well-being and so much more.

The activities for this quarter has been purely intellectual, with all questions being open-ended and not the usual close-ended questions just like the previous quarters. Given that, it somehow makes it harder because it requires much more focus and critical thinking. Though at times it was difficult to come up with the right words to incorporate, the activities were still fun and it became like a somewhat brain exercise. Not to mention, it made me know and discover more about the community I live in.

Throughout the course of this quarter, I didn’t encounter much problems regarding the modules and in distance learning. However, in the last batch of modules, the instructions of the tasks to be answered were vague, unclear and sometimes misleading. This is very troublesome because I kept on delaying the tasks with instructions that I cannot understand, leading me to procrastinate.

Moving on, I have indeed learned a lot and I have yet more to conquer. 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 have a positive mindset and continue learning amid this 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 nor the shutdo

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.                The transformation of a country toward sustainability and resilience involves many aspects. It is a complex process that deals with prevention, mitigation

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 2021. There is no promise that there will be no struggles but we c
