Araw ng Kagitingan: Remembering the brave in the Fall of Bataan

-



It is not a celebration to commemorate Araw ng Kagitingan if not to remember the courage of the Filipinos who fought and gave their lives for the people even though the country's defense at the Corregidor in Bataan "collapsed" on April 9, 1942. This happened during the second world war and Japan wanted to occupy America's allies, including the Philippines. To prevent Japanese soldiers from entering Manila immediately, the country set up a strong defense in Corregidor, accompanied by Filipino and American soldiers.

This historic day marks the greatness of Filipino veterans and American allies who fought against the Japanese invasion in World War II. Thousands of lives were lost during this dark chapter in our history in defending the country’s freedom and sovereignty. The “Fall of Bataan” serves as a constant symbol of the Filipinos’ bravery and patriotism.

As we face a global health crisis, we are reminded to remain cooperative, brave, and resilient as we, together with our frontline warriors in healthcare, local officials, and international partners, unite to combat the pandemic that has swooped down on humankind. We owe it to our forefathers who sacrificed their lives for us, to continue fighting for our Motherland and be responsible citizens. More than ever, the Philippines needs solidarity and support from every Filipino. Long live our veterans, including those living overseas. Long live the bravery of Filipinos! May we all have a solemn observance.

Mum’s The Word

“Mothers hold their child’s hand for a moment and their hearts for a  lifetime .”  The 12th of May is the day we celebrate the women who raised us. They dedicate their lives to us, they’re selfless yet strong, they’re affectionate and protective. It goes without saying that being a mother is one of the toughest, most rewarding jobs out there. But one day isn’t enough to show our gratitude for all their hard work and sacrifices to make us happy, safe, and well. They do so much for us, and sometimes, we don’t even realise that. So the least we can do is honor them whenever we get the chance. Mother is always the special and most important person in every kid’s life. She carries for nine months and creates a strong bonding with children till her last breath. Moms also sacrifice their dreams to give the best in everything for their little ones. The love of a mother is pure and unadulterated. She does not have any selfish motives and offers the most unconditional love on earth. All...

The Future is Feminist

     Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world.  The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could reverse the limited progress that has been made on gender equality and women’s rights.  The coronavirus outbreak exacerbates existing inequalities for women and girls across every sphere – from health and the economy, to security and social protection.      The empowerment and autonomy of  women and the improvement of their political,  social, economic and health status is a highly  important end in itself. In addition, it is essential  for the achievement of sustainable  development. The full participation and  partnership of both women and men is required  in productive and reproductive life, including  shared responsibilities for the care and nurturing  of children and maintenance of the household.  In all parts of th...

New Education Quality in the midst of Pandemic

      During this pandemic, students faced a sudden change from on-campus learning to online learning. The pandemic itself has caused much worry, stress and grief.     The self-isolation and distance learning in educational institutions because of the pandemic stimulate the use of e-learning technologies in practice. The transformation system was the result of an extraordinary adaption of the system to the conditions of the pandemic. I have a lot of beneficial affects to both teachers and students as well as the families not only for Covid-19 but also to protect students from outside the house. The disadvantages are that with no faculty around for face-to-face interaction and no classmates who help with constant reminders about pending assignments the chances of getting distracted and losing track of deadlines are high. Not all students have gadgets and internet connection due to lack of money. This is why they are struggling to their lessons.     Face...
