Our Safety Is In Our Own Hands!

-



  Hearing news about an earthquake occurring in some part of our country is not new to us. The Philippines, our country, is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire so we are prone to natural disasters like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. According to the records of Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), an average of 20 earthquakes a day and 100 to 150 earthquakes are felt per year in our country. We should be prepared because an earthquake can occur anytime.

        The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) conduct the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) to train and teach us the things we should do if ever an earthquake occur in our place. I think the importance of participating or taking part of this NSED program of the government is for us to know how to react appropriately in this tragic situation. It is important for us to be educated about the safety precautions that we need to follow in times of emergencies. 

Let’s keep in our mind that we should participate in any earthquake drills because this can help us survive. We should know every single thing about the safety precautions to follow. Let’s us educate, train and prepare ourselves in any emergencies! In times of emergencies, be aware of the things that we can do to save our lives. Oh! Cooperation is the key to survive in any disaster! Let’s help each other to conquer any effect of disasters! We can do it! Our safety is in our own hands so be alert and attentive!

Spread the Greatest Thing, LOVE!

Photo retrieved in  https://pixabay.com/images/search/love/         Love is the most powerful thing in the world. Love is as critical for the mind and body of a human being as oxygen. Therefore, the more connected you are, the healthier you will be physically as well as emotionally. That’s the significance and power of love! Photo retrieved in   https://krdo.com/lifestyle         We don’t need a certain date to celebrate or to talk about love because every day is the perfect time to talk about it but there is this day of February when “love” talks really spread all over the world. That day is Valentine’s Day! This day happens every 14th day of February and it was often full of gifts, flowers and sweets like chocolates.         Being single on Valentine’s Day doesn’t matter at all. Valentine’s Day is not just for couples so everyone can participate in the one day a year set aside to celebrate love. Photo retrieved in...

Raise Our Awareness

        The Earth is slowly changing. Some animals are already extinct and some are at risk of being extinct. The forests are destroyed and slowly decreasing. The temperature is rising. Climate change is already happening in our world.          Global warming is the increase of average world temperatures as a result of what is known as the greenhouse effect. Certain gases in the atmosphere act like glass in a greenhouse, allowing sunlight through to heat the Earth’s surface but trapping the heat as it radiates back into space. As the greenhouse gases build up in the atmosphere, the Earth gets hotter. This process is leading to a rapid change in climate also known as climate change.           Before bad things will happen in our world, let us cooperate and do our part to save Mother Earth. Let’s create awareness on global warming and climate change. But what can we do? How can we create awareness about these issue...

         Students are used of face-to-face learning. Because of COVID-19, students suddenly experienced a new normal learning which is modular learning or online classes. As a student who is used to the face-to-face learning, I can say that it is really hard for me to adapt the new normal learning in the first day or week of this school year. But I learned and discovered that I have the ability to understand the lesson by myself. I learned to manage my time in answering all of my modules. But I still encounter problems and challenges.          I admit that I was easily distracted because of the noises I hear in my surroundings. I struggled in accomplishing my modules because I am not sure what would be the answer for those tasks. Sometimes, I have a hard time understanding the lessons because I can only teach myself unlike in face-to-face learning, I can ask anything to the teacher. But luckily, I’m still here… still fighting and survivi...
