PLANT SEEDS, HARVEST NUTRIENTS!

     “Bahay-kubo, kahit munti, ang halaman doon ay sari-sari”, this is just a line of a song entitled “ bahay-kubo “. It tells that even if your house is not the modern one or the house that we often see nowadays, we can still plant on the backyard and harvest plants and fruits that is rich in nutrients. “Magtanim ay di biro, maghapong nakayuko...”, and this is a song in which it tells how hard planting can be.

   Nutrition month is annual campaign held every July to create greater awareness on the importance of nutrition among Filipinos. “Ugaliing Magtanim, Sapat na nutrisyon Aanihin!” this is the nutrition month theme 2018 which is chosen by the National Nutrition Council or the NNC. It is the entry of Ms. Julie Ann Colipano. This theme focuses on family food gardening and food production through the family’s own garden. Having food garden can improve the family’s food security. We all know that we can get diseases on different food, but by planting fruits and vegetables in your/our own backyard, we can ensure the family’s safety and everyone’s safety. If we plant on our own backyard we can have healthier food consumption. Planting fruits and vegetables is not only for the farmers. We can plant to. Planting can be done by everyone of us in the community.

   Good nutrition and being healthy can lead you to a healthy lifestyle. Nutrients is very important on our body. It makes us healthy. And as the saying goes “HEALTH IS WEALTH”. Being healthy is like having all the tons of gold and silver. What are you waiting for? PLANT SEEDS, HARVEST NUTRIENTS!

Has change arrived?

President Rodrigo "Roa" Duterte

President of the Philippines

Malacañang Palace, Manila

To Mr. Rodrigo Duterte, 

Greetings Sir! I was a fan of your administration the very first day you land your hands on our country because I believed that you'll make our country better. But then came the different issues involving your way of dealing the problems our country is facing.

I prepared a question for the students, that is "If you were given a chance to talk to our President, what will you say?" Mostly, all of them complained about how your administration works. The oplan tokhang which is at first effective, because the numbers of drug users is decreasing but as days passed, many innocent people were also killed. The recent issue in which you called our God stupid. It was the first time that the government and the church went against each other. Let me remind you sir, that you are a president. You only have the authority to lead our country. You don't have the right to call our God stupid. And also, please prevent yourself from cursing and saying inappropriate words in public. You are the president. You're supposed to be a good role model and a good leader.

Mr. President, the citizens voted you because they believed in you. We believed that you can change our country and make it better than the past years. And also, I want to congratulate you on the things that you've done to our country and the things that soon, you will be doing. 

Sincerely yours, 

Frances Angela Rebunal

Philippine Independence

     Philippines has been colonized by 3 countries which is the Japan, Spain, and the America. Filipinos suffered so much pain. They were mistreated and disrespected. Philippines was controlled and manipulated in their hands. But not until, some of them learned to fight for what is right and for claiming what is ours. We call them now as our national heroes. They fought even if they do not have enough armors and equipment and some fought using an ink of a pen and a piece of a paper. They sacrificed their lives just to have our freedom that have been taken away from us. 

     

     June 12, 1898. This marks the date when they declared that Philippine is now free by the hands of the 3 countries. This happened several years ago, and up to until now, we are still celebrating it. June 12 became our independence day and we celebrate it annually. In which there are no classes in all school levels. Philippine Independence is very significant in our country. It marks the country's independence. Celebrating this is very important because by this, we can say thank you and be grateful to the sacrifices that our heroes have done. They have done so many sacrifices just to get the freedom that have been taken away from us. The Philippine Independence is very important in the Philippine history. 

     Although we are freed, we can't be doing things that are inappropriate and may destroy our country. We must know our limitations. And even though the Philippine is a free country, we must always remember that in any time, other countries may again, colonize Philippines. We must be prepared at all times.
