Essence of Christmas

Love: The True Essence of Christmas

Every person has his own priorities, his own wants and needs. Some people may choose material things, while others may prefer tangible ones such as love, peace, prosperity and good health among others. No matter what these people wish for these holiday season, what matters most is that the desires of their hearts are granted as long as nobody is hurt, right?

This Christmas season, it is important for us to bear in our minds the reason why we are celebrating this yuletide season in the first place. In this month of December, it is a must for us to remember that our Lord came in this world in order to save us from our sins; He came to redeem us from the wickedness of this world.

We also have to recollect the fact that our Lord God is humble being born only in a manger. This is the message that is sent to us - we must learn how to humble ourselves, no matter how rich or financially wealthy we are because Christ himself symbolizes humility. Even though He is a son of God, He did not demanded for a special “birthing place” or become “man” in a wealthy family; instead, He was born in a poor family.

Anyway, the essence of celebrating Christmas season is not to have a house full of Christmas lights, having a tall and beautiful Christmas tree full of gifts underneath it and giving expensive gifts. Christmas basically means sharing what you have, not just the material things but also those that can only be felt like a warm, tight hug, a simple thank you, showing our appreciation to our loved ones and forgiveness among others.

Whichever of these are important to you this holiday season, just remember that it’s the thought that counts and that love is the most important thing in the world. When love governs our hearts and minds, everything will follow and we don’t need to wait for Christmas time to share our love to other people. 

GAD-VAWC

Violence against women (VAW) and girls is not just a major public health problem but also a grave violation of human rights. It extremely manifests gender inequity, targeting women and girls because of their subordinate status in the society. The United Nations define VAW as “any act of gender-based violence that results in, or likely to result in, physical, sexual, or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life.” Violence and the threats of violence can be experienced by every woman of any age, skin color, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, disabilities, economic, and social status.

Global estimates by the World Health Organization indicate that about 1 in 3 women (35%) worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual violence from intimate partner or non-partner in their lifetime. In the Philippines, the National Demographic Health Survey 2017 released by the Philippine Statistics Authority revealed that 1 in 4 Filipino women, aged 15-49, has experienced physical, emotional or sexual violence from their husband or partner.

Because VAW appears as one of the country’s pervasive social problems, various measures and mechanisms have been employed and implemented to address it. One of which is the 18-Day Campaign to End VAW, an advocacy campaign that is observed annually from November 25 to December 12 as mandated by Proclamation 1172 s. 2006.

Environment Awareness Month

NURTURE OUR NATURE

Environmental awareness means being aware of the natural environment and making choices that benefit the earth, rather than hurt it. Some of the ways to practice environmental awareness include: using safe and non-toxic building supplies, conserving energy and water, recycling, activism, and others.

The Environmental Protection and Awareness division promotes the protection of our natural environment, the health and well-being of our citizens, increasing awareness in environmental issues. It also facilitates the participation of Non-Governmental Organisations and civil society.

Nature is very important in our life. So, we should practice how to care and love our environment.

Childrens Month

The Department of Education (DepEd) enjoined all private and public elementary and secondary schools to undertake activities in line with the celebration of the 2019 National Children’s Month (NCM) this November.

Education Undersecretary Alain Del Pascua, in DepEd Memorandum No. 147 series of 2019, expressed DepEd’s support to the celebration of the NCM this year which will be led by the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC).

With the theme, “Karapatang Pambata: Patuloy na Pahalagahan at Gampanan tungo sa Magandang Kinabukasan,” this year’s celebration of the NCM is made extra special as it coincides with the 30th Anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC).

Pascua noted that the celebration of this year’s NCM is pursuant to Republic Act No. 10661 entitled “An Act Declaring the Month of November of Every Year as the National Children’s Month” which also commemorates the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child by the United Nations General Assembly on November 20, 1989.

The NCM, Pascua noted, aims to “celebrate and recognize children as the most valuable assets of the nation” as well as to “emphasize the importance of their role within the Filipino family and Philippine society.” The law tasked the CWC, Department of Social and Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the National Youth Commission (NYC) to lead the annual celebration.

For its part, DepEd encouraged its offices and public and private schools to participate in major activities of the NCM.

This year’s celebration, Pascua noted, aims to “intensify public awareness on the rights of children and remind all sectors to be responsible in raising Filipino children to become well-rounded people, and to protect them at all costs, as enshrined in the UN CRC.”

Ultimately, the celebration aims to “empower children as rights-holders and duty-bearers to deliver commitment to promote, protect, and fulfill their rights as children.”

The said activities may include hoisting of streamer/banner of this year’s NCM celebration depicting its theme; recitation of the “Panatang Makabata” during the flag raising ceremonies on all Mondays of November; development, production and distribution of information, education and communication materials and other collaterals to include those developed by the CWC; in-class discussions on current issues such as bullying and conduct of child-friendly activities such as art contests and others

TEACHERS' DAY 2019

WORLD CHANGER

You might have heard the story of a group of men who argued about whose profession was the best in the world.

An architect said that theirs was the best, for without them, the world wouldn’t see beautiful buildings and towering skyscrapers.

“There was the most important profession, for without them, the world would not see any progress at all,” a scientist said with disagreed.

A doctor joined in the discussion and argued that without doctors, the world would not discover medicine to face disease.

But the group fell silent when an old man spoke to them. With the stories, he reminded them of their younger days. The old man reminded the scientist about his first experiment; the architect about his childhood days in art class; and the doctor about his first time to dissecting a frog,

The man was their teacher.

Through he spoke little, the men understood that without him, the architects wouldn’t have learned how to design houses, the scientists wouldn’t have unlocked the mysteries of science, and the doctors wouldn’t have learned how to heal by making medicines.

Happy World Teachers’ Day to…

…the best educators who impart great knowledge to us. Without you, the world not have seen significant progress at all.

…all the selfless, funny, simple, and inspiring teachers out there. You have been instrumental in molding the morals and values of our society. Thank you for investing your life in the next generation.

Thank you for changing the next generation. Let change the campus and change the world.’-‘

METABOLIZE: NOURISHING 

THE FILIPINO YOUTH 

TOWARDS NATIONAL WELL-BEING

"The health of the youth is the heart of the nation."

Metabolism is the process of maintaining the condition of living things. In nourishing the Filipino youth towards national well-being, it is important to metabolize this process. To maintain the awareness and condition of the youth - nourished and healthy, is relevant as they take part in nation building.

Nourishing one's body includes the awareness of the different things that can make or break it. A person can be healthy if he is mindful of what goes inside his body, what he keeps in it, and what he does to make it work well.

Nourishing the Filipino youth is like taking care of your body. The awareness of the Filipino youth in their mental, physical, social, and emotional health is vital to how they respond to their environment as citizens of their country.

The stand of the youth is vital towards national well-being. As the future leaders of the country, the participation and intelligent opinion of the Filipino youth is relevant in establishing and achieving a better society.

Happy Schools Movement

sama na, tayo na,

Happy Schools Movement na!

The Department of Education (DepEd)-Region 1 had launched the “Happy Schools Movement” (HSM) to boost the efficient implementation of the K to 12 basic education curriculum in the Ilocos provinces.

The movement seeks to promote every school in the region as a better and enjoyable place to study.

Dr. Malcolm Garma, DepEd Region 1 regional director, said the regional launch of the HSM was held at the Vigan Convention Center in this city on May 20, 2019.

It was anchored on the theme: “Paaralang Masayang Maglingkod, Tagumpay ng Bata’y Itaguyod.”

“The launching of the HSM platform is very timely as the opening of classes for school year 2019-2020 is set on June 3,” said Garma.

The HSM launching coincided with the regional launch of the 2019 Brigada Eskwela. 

Garma cited the HSM platform as a key of achieving the DepEd Region 1 vision of having a generation of responsive and cross-culture competent future builders.

Through this program, the learners’ full potential is given the greatest attention by creating a happier and more positive school culture.

The movement aims to inculcate in the minds of pupils that school is not just a place for learning but also a place for fun and enjoyment as they enjoy what they are doing.

He said the welfare of the learners is primarily and always the concern of the HSM guided with four pillars such as responsive school leadership, relevant classroom instruction, conducive and healthy learning environment, and good governance.

To attain the four pillars of HSM platform, he said the intensified collaborations of the internal and external stakeholders should be given importance.

The HSM has 15 advocacy themes in the delivery of education services to the 14 school’s divisions in the Ilocos region.

Some of these advocacy themes are: “Start Right, Grow Smart” (Kidergarten); “Our Roots, Our Strength” (Mother Tongue); “Talas Filipino: Umusbong sa Wika at Panitikan” (Filipino); “Reading is Power” (English); “Solve for Life” (Mathematics); “Sa ALS Matututo Ka, Tara Na!” (Alternative Learning System); “Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility” (Disaster Risk Reduction and Management); “The Joy of Exploration and Innovation” (Science); “Kwento Mo, Kwento Ko sa Matatag na Bansa Tutungo” (Araling Panlipunan); “Ako, Ikaw, Siya Tungo sa Makabuluhang Buhay” (Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao); “Pride is the Power of Hands” (Technology and Livelihood Education); “I am In” (Inclusive Education); “HOPE CA” (MAPEH); “ICARE” (Learning Resource Management and Development (LRMD); and “Paghubog sa Kabataan, Tungo sa Magandang Kinabukasan!” (Youth Formation).

“Happiness and school quality are inseparable as the happy schools’ framework serves as reference for measuring the quality of our education,” he said.

“Our credo for this movement is Region 1 is a region of happy schools with disciplined, value-laden, and motivated learning communities of holistically developed Filipinos with 21st Century skills,” Garma said. (JND/FGL, PIA-1)

Buwan ng Wika Insight

WI-FI CELEBRATION

  Kung paano ang mga rekado ay nagdaragdag ng sarap gayundin ang Wikang Katutubo, nagbibigay ng karagdarang kulay patungo sa Bansang Filipino.

  Tuwing sasapit sa Buwan ng Agosto, hindi natin pinapalampas ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika. Marahil, sa pamamagitan ng  okasyomg ito naaalala at napapanatili natin kong sino nga ba tayo at kung ano ba ang mga naiaambag ng simpleng selebrasyon sa ating buhay sa ating pagiging mamamayang Pilipino.

  Ngayong taong ito ang tema ng pagdiriwang ay, "Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa Bansang Filipino." Samu't saring paligsahan o patimpalak ang itinatampok upang maging makabuluhan ang selebrasyon kagaya na lamang ng: Paggawa ng poster, Paggawa ng sanaysay, Pakikilahok sa tagisan ng talino, pakikilahok sa "spoken poetry," at pag-awit ng OPM upang maipahiwatig kung gaano nga ba kahalaga ang wika sa atin.

  Wika, apat na titik, iisang salita ngunit halos napakaraming nagliliparang talasalitaan na hindi matapos-tapos na hinggil sa Wika. Ang Wika ay kaakibat ng ating nakaraan, kasalukoyan, at maging sa hinaharap. Ika nga nila, Wika ang pinakamainam na tuloy ng pag-ibig, pagkakaisa at pagkakaunawan tungo sa kaunlaran. Kahit lumipasman ang pagkahabang-habang panahon o di kaya ay sumakabilang buhay man tayo. Wika ay mananatili sa ating buhay. Ito ay tila isang kaluluwa na inihahandugan at ipinapamana ng ating ninuno at maginng ang Maykapal.

 Ang Wikang ating kinagisnanay nararapat na pahalagahan kung tutuusin. Ito ay mahalagang sangkap sa kabuuan ng isang bansa. KUng walang magkakaparehong wika, walang patutunguhan at walang kaunlarang makakamit. Kaya't masasabi nating kapakipakinabang anng ating wika kung marunong tayo magmahal at magpahalaga sapagkat hindi natin matatawaran kahalagahan ng wika at ng ating dugong  bughaw.

Magkaiba man ang wika natin sa bawat pagbigkas at tinig nito. Ngunit, alam kong iisa lamang ang hangarin ng bawat isa sa atin.Ito ay maging kapaki-pakinapang na kasapi ng isang lipunan. Kaya't ang pagtanggap ng buong puso at dalisay na pagmamahal ay tila pagtanggap ng mismong pinagmulan at pagkakakilanlan tungi sa bansang Filipino.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

 Filipino were not treated right. They prohibited their rights. They abused, little, and slaved. They suffered a lots of pains from the hands of invaders. But, Filipinos never gave up. They fought and sacrifice their lives to commit our freedom from them.

    This 12^th day of June, we celebrate the day of Filipinos Independence Day. It is a big or huge celebration of our country, Philippines. This is holiday to celebrates the success of our heroes. This is the time to recognize the Philippine heroes. Because before, Filipinos didn’t experience the essence of freedom, but this day we experiencing the true essence of freedom and most people abuse it.

      Today, this generation, Filipinos can make their own decisions even if this is wrong or right. Even if they hurt someone. Filipinos can fight their right today as being a human being. And today, Filipinos and administration never let do the same things what happened in the past.
