The Bridge

The celebration of Buwan ng Wika is not just a part of our history, it also keeps us Filipinos united as one, as a nation. Filipino language shows how rich and unique our culture and heritage is.

Filipino; the symbolic national language of the Philippines. Filipino is more than just a means for communication, Filipino bridges or fills up the gap between different communities and also the one that strengthens it. The importance of celebrating Buwan ng Wika is; First, it recognizes and solves our language problem due to our archipelagic nature and colonial past. Second, it represents us as a people and as a country. Third and the last, it commemorates the efforts of the person behind every success of our own, Filipino language, President Manuel Luis Quezon who is said to be the “Ama ng Wikang Pambansa”.

With this year’s theme, “Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa Isang Bansang Filipino” aims to raise awareness about indigenous languages’ role in promoting our country’s identity. Filipino and a national language, recognizes that the bridge in which this language fills up is an avenue to enrich the Filipino language as more inclusive by preserving elements from native Philippine languages.

Filipino language should embrace the multicultural identity of our nation. It should reflect the social and cultural realities that our nation is experiencing right now. Therefore, Buwan ng Wika simply serves as a cue or reminder that as we use the Filipino language we should appreciate numerous cultures that our beloved country the pearl of the orient, the Philippines have.

Gaining Confidence

The learning that I have gained with the previous quarter is to be confident enough in reporting topics. And the the discovery that I've experienced is the making of blogs. The main problem that I've encountered is the fear of publishing my drafts, in which I am not that good in writing insights and also with my bad grammar. The only thing that I did just to cope up this challenge or problem is to gain enough confidence to do things and to explore things I've never done before. Well, I am looking forward for the next grading to have more confidence in expressing my thought through sharing it with my fellow student or peers.

Preparedness is the Key

Cooperation, interaction, and action are needed to have a solution. Society’s problems are rampant, one of it is the unpredictable disasters.

 Philippines are one of the countries that are prone to disasters, because it is located at the Pacific Ring of Fire and it is along the Pacific Ocean. Thus, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are unpredictable in occurring at different parts of the country, and as it located along the Pacific Ocean, the country is prone to typhoons. In this case, how can people survive if these disasters are unpredictable.

Government has implemented the National Disaster Resilience Month, with the theme, “Kahandaan sa Sakuna’t Peligro para sa Tunay na Pagbabago.” In which different programs are done to  intensify the preparedness of communities in different disasters. Being prepared is really beneficial.  Thus, being prepared reduces uncertainty, reduce fear, anxiety, loss of life, and greatly reduce danger.

Disasters are just like an obstacle course that you are asked to finish. Every obstacle course, players are preparing and conditioning themselves in order for them to finish the track quickly. As well as in disasters, people are preparing themselves to be ready in any situations they’re might go through.

Nutrition month keeps reminding us of living our lives not only to those what we want, but it is always on what we need. On this year’s theme, “Kumain nang wasto at maging aktibo.. push natin to!” encourages us to advocate and realize the Importance of healthy diets, increased physical activities and decrease sedentary activities.

Nutrition month evokes two different sector the agriculture and legislation sector. Agriculture sector should spawn healthier foods, namely: vegetables, fruits and right weighted poultry and piggery products. In the legislation sector, they should impose policies, memorandums and even laws that is connected in advocating good health for the humanity. An example of it is the memorandum for schools that, in canteens can only sell foods that is beneficial for students. Foods that contains vitamins and minerals, and not those foods that contains sodium and even those sweets and fatty foods.

Not only those what we take in, but also those activities to make us an able-bodied person. The physical activities that a person should undergo, these activities are subdivided into two, namely: health- related fitness and skill-related fitness. Health-related fitness are those fitness activities in which health of a person is related or benefited. The skill-related fitness are those activities in which skills of a person are improved

Let us all remember; our lifestyle reflects on our personality. So, are you willing to change your lifestyle in order to have wealthy health?
