Wika ng Pagkakaisa

     

       "Ang taong 'di magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa malansang isda." Sa mga katagang itong sinambit ng ating pambansang bayaning si Dr. Jose P. Rizal, ating naimulat ang ating mga mata sa kahalagahan ng ating wikang pambansa, ang wikang Filipino. Ano nga ba ang kahalagahan ng wika? Paano ba natin mapagyayaman ang ating wika?

       Ang wika ay isang medyang ginagamit ng mga tao upang makipagtalastasan sa iba. Ngayong buwan ng Agosto, inilunsad ng departamento ng Filipino ang taunang buwan ng Wika ngayong taon na may temang "Wika ng Pagkakaisa." Sa loob ng buwan na ito, magaganap ang iba't ibang paligsahang lumilinang sa kasayanayan ng mga mag-aaral sa paggamit ng wikang Filipino. Ngunit hindi lamang ang pagpapagalingan sa pagsasalita sa wikang Filipino ang layunin ng buwan na ito, ngunit pati na rin ang pagpapahala rito. Bakit nga ba natin kailangan pahalagahan ang ating wika kung mayroon namang ibang wikang maaaring gamitin? Ang wika ay is rin sa mga pagkakakilanlan ng isang bansa. Upang matawag na isang ganap na bansa, dapat mayroon kang gamit na wika. At higit sa lahat, ang paggamit ng sariling wika ang isa sa mga pinaka dakilang gawain para sa bansa. Kung walang wika, paano tayo magkakaintindihan? Paano tayo makakapag-usap? At kung mayroon man, paano tayo magkakaintindihan kung magkakaiba tayo ng gamit na wika? Gaya nalang kapag may nagtanong sa iyo sa salitang Filipino, sasagutin mo ba siya sa wikang Ilocano? Syempre hindi.


       Ang wikang Filipino ay isang wikang puno ng makukulay na karansan. Kaya nararapat lamang na ating ibigay ang respetong naaayon dito. Atin itong gamitin ng maayos at matatas sapagkat ito'y sumisimbolo sa pagkamakabansa natin. At ating tandaan, ang ating wika ay WIKA NG PAGKAKAISA.

Fight Malnutrition!

     Every 7th month of the year, we are celebrating the Nutrition month. This year's theme is "Kalamidad paghandaan. Gutom at malnutrisyon agapan." There maybe a good meaning lying on those words. But first, let us define the meaning of those words.

     Malnutritsyon, or in English malnutrition,is the unhealthy condition that results from not eating enough food or not eating enough healthy foods. This maybe acquired by eating less or eating junk foods. Hunk foods are like silent killers because they contain very high quantities of some substances that can cause harm to our bodies. So instead of eating junk foods, why just eat vegetables? In that way, you can stay more healthy and fight malnutrition.

     On the other hand is calamity. It refers ti the occutences of phenomenoms natural or man made that causes harm to people. How can you save lives during calamities if you are not well nourished? Or can you even survive it yourself? Absolutely no. But the solution is very easy yet very effective. Just eat healthy foods together with proper lifestyle and surely you will be able to withstand any calamity in life
         As the saying goes," Health is wealth." Being healthy id being wealthy. Maybe not in terms of financial but in terms of physical. And remember, it's better to be a healthy person than being a rich person with an unhealthy body.

SONA 2k14

          Last July 28, 2014, President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III or commonly known as PNoy delivered his 5th State Of the Nation Address. During his speech, he pointed out the improvements of business in our country throughout the past years.
          He started that Philippines is now having an invesment-grade rating. 'Giant' companies like Standard and Poors, Fitch's, and Moody's started to give their brand rights to the Philippines, which is good for our country. PNoy also stated that more tourists are now continuously building so much interest on going to the Philippines. But flights to the Philippines came out short. So in order to compensate with the demand, PNoy asked to add more flights to the Philippines to supply the increasing number of tourists visiting the Philippines, Which is also good for our country.
          Though he stated some improvements in our economy, he can't hide the failures his administration had done over the years like the overdue of the extension of road reblockings in EDSA, the housing projects of people who are victims of calamities, etc. Even though it is not that pleasant to the ear to hear some negative issues on the SONA, he should still tackle it for the sake of the awareness of his countrymen. In fact, most Filipinos don't watch the SONA anymore because it will only contain the flowery words of the president but not the real state of the country.

First Quarter Ends!

      It's been two months since our last year here in High School began. We must now enjoy our last year and at the same time, do our very best to make our High school life memorable in terms of memories and academics.

      First grading is now coming to an end. After the Periodical exams, the first quarter of the school year will officially end. So far, my First grading experience became very exciting. Many challenges arouse like tons of projects and a lot of requirements to be submitted, subjects to be reviewed, etc. Even though these challenges came to me this year, I still received some of the best memories a High school student must have, Fun moments with your classmates. Yes, we, our classmates all vary in terms of attitudes but this made our life. We argued many times but in the end, we all go home as friends with a smile on our faces. We've decided to do everything to win every competition we will join. Yet we didn't have such perfect performances, we are still surely proud of what we accomplished because we know that that performance is what we have made with our hardwork and determination. During classes, we help each other when they are in need, Yet competition cannot be avoided, we did it in a fun and friendly way so we can't feel the pressure. During our vacant time, we have fun, real fun like singing songs together, watching movies, and many more.

     The First grading period is about to end but there still some time remaining for us to make the best out of it. So we must just have fun and treat school in a fun way. Although it is really a hard challenge, there is no hard challenge if you are happy on it.
