“The Right Type of Resilience”

 

    We Filipinos are known because of our resiliency. Resilience means the capacity to recover quickly from problems or difficulties. The Philippines is very vulnerable to disasters, it is one of the natural hazard-prone countries in the world. The country is highly prone to natural disasters like earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, and volcanic eruptions. Destructions of agricultural products, houses, and government properties always happen after a disaster. But Filipinos will try to overcome this suffering and traumatic disaster experience, showing their resiliency.


    In an article written by Pamela, she stated that “Every time, the Filipino nation has to endure, brave the chaos, and stand up the next day. It is from this that we’ve grown to be called a resilient nation. Because we have had to become one.” Being resilient is not a bad thing, but we tend to forget that we’re supposed to be striving for something more. What we need to do after experiencing calamities or problems is to demand accountability and transparency from the people in power. It is the governments responsibility to protect, help and serve the people of the Philippines. Let’s seek help and support from the government because that is what we deserve as the people of this nation. 


    Just like what I’ve said, being resilient is not bad, but what we need to do, is to address our problems and needs. We can make our country succeed, only if we all work together, Filipino citizens and the government to strive for our goals for this nation. From the same article written by Pamela, she stated that “When we all put in our best efforts to create a good system, solve the country’s problems, and make sure every Filipino is given the opportunity to live a secure life, then we are on the way to the right type of resilience.” Let’s all work together for the betterment of our beloved nation. Right type of resilience towards a more progressive nation.

"The Battle of Bataan: The Bataan Death March"

              The Battle of Bataan happened during the World War II, began on January 6, 1942 and ended on April 9, 1942 as the Bataan troops surrendered. After the Filipino and American Bataan troops surrendered to the Japanese troops, the Bataan Death March happened.   Most of the prisoners(Bataan troops) began the long walk in Mariveles, at the tip of Bataan, and had to march the full 66 miles to the rail head; others joined along the way. The Japanese brutalized their captives during the march north to the trains that would take them to a prison camp. They beat them incessantly, sometimes to move them along, sometimes just for sport. Many of the prisoners were battle worn and incapable of keeping up the grueling pace of the march, especially in the tropical heat and with little water. Those who dropped from exhaustion or sickness, fell behind, broke ranks to fetch water, or tried to escape were bayoneted, shot, or ...

"a moment to remember"

And now, our grade 10 journey is going to end in a few days, which means, junior high school life comes to an end too. It's been a wonderful moment, our beloved junior high school life. Learning, discoveries, improvements, and maturity throughout this phase of life. During the 4th quarter, we were able to have a chance to experience face to face learning again after 2 years of having distance learning. We were able to get that special experience and a wonderful moment for a short time. I was able to enjoy and appreciate the courage, strength and guidance of our teachers during this last quarter. The laughs, stories and short memories we made during this short time moment will truly and forever be with us. We were able to perform and make our own Frontpage during the 4th quarter in ICT with the guidance of our teacher, I was able to enjoy doing it, though we shared many laughs and smiles when we are creating our own front pages. This is it, the last quarter in 10th grade, the last c...

People's ignorance towards the environment and its effect is now little by little being visible in our sights. The numerous plastics and other waste materials covering rivers, floods in various urban areas because of trash trapped in drainage, and harming different species in land, water and air.  The global effect of neglected wastes and improper waste disposal is very dangerous to our environment and our health. We need to fight this harmful effects for us and our environment to be safe.
