Freedom of the Philippines

 
Image result for Philippine independence


        Philippines, a country that experienced many pains and hardships. A country that has many brave and strong Filipinos who joined together to fight and claim their rights and freedom to live the way they want to be. But the catch is, are we really free? Are we really acclaiming the efforts that our ancestors did?

         The Philippine islands were first colonized by the Spanish men. In this time, many Filipinos became slaves and many Filipinos were hurt and abused. But there were brave ones who fought their rights but not only their rights, they fought for the freedom of the country.

      Americans were there to help also. And after that, Philippines became a self governing commonwealth. But, Japanese came and they were here to seize the Philippines. Americans and Filipinos joined together to fight with the Japanese and to regain the control of the Philippines and they were successful. And the Republic of the Philippines regained again the freedom.

         Now, in the present we are experiencing a bit of lack of freedom. It's not because of who is ruling to us right now, it's because of us. We are not experiencing freedom because of our own doings. A lot of crimes and immoral actions that are happening right now that results to the lack of freedom. We are afraid to go out at night because we expect that there maybe something bad to happen. Some children can't go to school because their family is poor and because of the politicians who are corrupt. Our country is not developing and not free because of ourselves.

         Let's go back to the past and reflect on the efforts of what our ancestors did. Let's appreciate what they did. We are not what we are right now, if it's not because of them. And we should do the right thing we should start it with our own selves and help our community. We should acclaim what they did. And on the twelfth of June we celebrate the Independence day. We celebrate all the heroes and all the Filipinos who fought for the Philippines.

Reflection (Second Quarter)

    Another quarter has passed, and another new knowledge that have been gained. This second quarter, students are ready and hoping that new lessons will be added to their knowledge and exciting activities that they will do again. And I was not disappointed because this second quarter I have learned all about internet access and the HTML.            The lessons of this quarter is easy for me to understand because I was super interested in it. I may have encountered probems but I easily coped up with it and went on. At the first lesson I did not understand it at first but I thrived to learn and I asked my classmates what's all about the lesson and I understood it easily. And for the basic HTML it was easy for me and I love coding. It easily registered in my mind and didn't even have to memorize or review it because there's a trick about it.             Moving on, I will keep what I am doing because it's a good...

Philippines: A Strong Nation

        "Resilience is the ability to recover from setbacks, adapt well to change and keep going or choose to give up in the face of adversity, so we engage stronger, wiser and more able." from The Oasis School of Human Relations. The word resilience comes from the Latin word 'resalire' which means "springing back". When the problems and adversities take your life, you instantly cope up and rise again.      We Filipinos are resilient "hindi tayo natitinag". Instances like when we are hit by a typhoon, we easily recover from it, we build raft if the water is too high, or we stock up foods to eat in the middle of the storm. When our houses are destroyed, we immediately clean the debris, we collect scraps that can help fix our houses, and start again. We always stay positive and Fel Cadiz, a Rare program manager in the Philippines, "The Filipino spirit is resilient and remains strong. As they say, the sun shines bright after the storm p...
