Coping with the Disasters and Calamities



                “Problems are not the problem; coping is the problem.” If you think that the problem is the problem, you’re wrong, because the real problem is on how you cope with the problem. How you survive or manage a problem that may come into your life.
                The Philippines is one of the top countries in the world at risk of climate-related disasters. This is why we Filipinos often experience different disasters and calamities. Just like hurricanes, flood and earthquakes, these are some examples of disasters and calamities that we Filipinos experience every year. Theses may cause damages to properties or even death to some people. And as a Filipino, one of our amazing abilities is resilience. No matter what damages those disasters or calamities bring us, we can still cope with it. We can stand on our own and continue our life like nothing happened. And some may start a new life.
                No one knows when or where disasters or calamities will occur. It may happen whether we like it or not. So the only thing we can do is to prepare for it, so that the effect of these to us will be lessen.

The Nutrition Month

          The month of July is the so-called Nutrition Month. It is celebrated every year by the local government and by us, the students. The theme of the celebration changes every year. And this year’s theme is "Ugaliing Magtanim, Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin!”           The Philippines has lots of lands that can be planted by vegetables. And almost all schools have vacant land where they can plant vegetables and fruits. Planting vegetables is taught to students to help them understand the value of it. In the school grounds, they can plant eggplant, chili, pumpkin, and much more. They can also plant in old plastic bottles. If the children already know how to plant and they already know the benefits that they can get from it, they will take this knowledge to their homes. And there, they will plant for their families.           These vegetables are full of nutrients that will strengthen our body. Eating vegetables gives strength to our body so that we can work right and study

A letter for the President

July 09, 2018 PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE Malacañang  Palace Compound, J.P. Laurel Street, San Miguel, Manila, 1005 Philippines Dear Mr. President:                A blessed day to you! It is not usual for me to write to the president of the country, to you. I am a student, currently in Grade10 in Ilocos Sur National High School. This letter of mine is my way to express my opinion and to call your attention regarding our situation in our school because of the K-12.                Usually our school has a lot of enrollees but this year, it came to the point that our school needs to implement shifting of classes for the grade 9 and 10 students. It is because  of the large number of students who are enrolled here from grade 7 to grade 12. And I think the curriculum that the students need to learn compromised. Because they need to teach all the subjects in a limited time. The grade 10 students' schedule is until 6:45 P.M. and it is unusual for us not to b e in our house on that ti
