Raise Your Flag

"Philippines is worth fighting for."

          The declaration of independence is one of the most important milestones in Philippine history. The country was colonized by many nations for hundreds of years. Imagine achieving your freedom after all the hardships you’ve been through. It is priceless. Filipinos, raise your flags!

              Since 1962, Philippine Independence Day has been celebrated every June 12 after President Diosdado Macapagal changed the date from July 4, the day when a treaty was made declaring the freedom of the Philippines from the United States.

              This day is not just a regular holiday, it is this day that Filipinos remember the courage and sacrifices by soldiers and heroes who fought for our motherland. Inspired by their strength to fight and dedication to free the country against colonizers should be remembered by the generations of today and the years to come. These heroic acts should be appreciated as much as we appreciate the endowment of sovereignty.

               We may have different ways of showing our love for the Philippines but let us appreciate even the little things that we do to express how much we love our country. As simple as keeping our surroundings clean and organized, being a law abiding citizen or serving the country in your own little way is already an act of showing your love.

               More than remembering our hard-earned freedom, may this day be an opportunity to appreciate Filipino heritage, culture and tradition. Our rich and colorful traditions and culture from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao show that the Filipino Character is not only brave and courageous.

                        On this day we also remember the sacrifices of front-liners and essential workers to help our country in times of need.

               Be proud of every inch of you as a Filipino, celebrate Independence Day not just today but everyday. Filipinos, Raise Your Flags with dignity, pride, and honor.

Education Admist Covid-19

  Since we are not allowed to go school for face to face learning, the Department of Education encouraged everyone to stay at home and do the modular and blended learning as a temporary alternative way of continuing the basics of education. Students, parents and educators around the world are feeling the extraordinary ripple effect of covid-19.  While governments and health officials are doing their best slowing down the outbreak.  Global education systems are collaborating to collectively respond and provide quality education for all during these difficult times.  It is fair to say that no one was prepared to reorganize education at scale during the covid-19 crisis. Sad to say that the quality of education that we are taking right now is not actually the kind if education that we used to have.  We are not learning enough because of the absence of our teachers in front of us.

LETTER TO PRESIDENT

Imahe
  Dear Mr.President,   As a Filipino, I’d never felt any more sincere and nationalistic president as you are. You certainly cares for the poor, the environment, and the Filipino culture. Aside from that, you are strong willed fighting against crime, corruption, and illegal drugs. You are far different than any other past presidents that the Philippines had. Though you had lapses and own weaknesses, your leadership and tough support from the military and other countries makes you a better strategist than other past presidents.   There is no perfect president. I dislike you on disrespecting religion and women as well. You also have a foul and tackless mouth full of curses that is totally inappropriate especially during formal occasions.   I also hated the fact when you handed to China our sovereign territory on a silver platter. All the other countries are rooting for us in our struggle against China yet you threw it all like it was trash.   ...
