SOCIAL MEDIA: Come in Handy During a Calamity

Image
                 One of the greatest influences of today’s modern society. While it is mostly used for entertainment, it is more importantly a tool to which people gain information from different life events, SOCIAL MEDIA. Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram are just some of the social media platforms that are being used by many. Hence, how does social media really give impact especially during calamities?                Unlike in the past, wherein information is only provided by the media or the TV, radio and print media, the first people to receive news and information is only those who can afford to have the aforementioned sources, making the information pass days before it could be known to many or the public. Slow and costly, that is how they have it in the past. While today, just seconds of scrolling with not much money needed, we can already access different types of information immediat...

MINING: 'IF I WERE THE PRESIDENT'

Image
                 We cannot deny the fact that mining is one of the livelihoods of some of the Filipinos because our country has a lot of mineral resources. Mining is one of the main sources of mineral resources important for maintaining and upgrading living standards. Materials from mining include metals, gemstone, gold, and clay.

Fourth Quarter: Merci, Au Revoir!

Image
            This fourth and final quarter has given me a lot of wisdom and trained me new skills.   I was introduced to Microsoft Frontpage, an application I was completely unaware beforehand. Learning about how it works, what it offers, and how it helps is the most enjoyable part for this period of learning process. As I was expecting, blog posting continued, and I am glad it did. Creating blogs for the past few months have helped me express my thoughts in written form and ameliorated my vocabulary as well as my creativeness. I think that’s the reason why I still cannot believe that I am already writing the penultimate blog I will publish.                   Having some troubles and making continual errors at first is frustrating but I guess it’ just normal and is a proof that I am trying and learning something new. Despite of the difficulties met, I managed to overcome them with my determinat...

Father: An Unequalled Superhero

  In all our good times and bad times, our family supports us with the best care. Every member of the family plays a vital role in our life. Father is the one who is the head of the family and the one on whom all the family members can rely. The first superhero any child meets in their life is their father. In the growing age of children, they need someone who can be their role model. Father is the best example of a superhero. A father works tirelessly day and night for his family so that he can educate his children well and support his family. To give respect to this hard work, we celebrate Father's Day every year. On this day, we give respect and gratitude to our father. For a complete family, both support of our father and our mother are necessary. That is why we celebrate Father’s Day every year to appreciate his efforts in our life.   Loving and honoring our father on just one day by maybe posting about them in social media or giving them gifts is not enough. We must ...

A Treasured Milestone of Hard-earned Freedom

  One of the most significant dates in the Philippine history is the Independence Day because it marks the nation’s independence from Spanish rule on June 12, 1898, and we celebrate it annually on June 12.  Independence Day is a public holiday; it is a day off for the general population because the official declaration of our independence is one of most treasured milestones that we Filipinos achieved in our history.   Independence Day is not just a regular holiday; it is a day that Filipinos remember the courage and sacrifices by soldiers and heroes who fought for our motherland.

It is not only important to celebrate this holiday, but it is also important not to forget its significance for the Philippines. Many Filipinos offered their talents and skills and put their lives at risk to achieve our independence. Inspired by their strength to fight and dedication to free the country a...
