            This quarter in our ICT class, I learned a lot about HTML tags and attributes, which are the foundation of building websites. Before this, I never fully understood how websites were created, but now I have a clearer idea of how web pages are structured and how they work behind the scenes.        One of the most important lessons I learned was how to use HTML tags to structure the content of a webpage. Tags like <p> are used for writing paragraphs, while <h1> to <h6> tags are for headings of different sizes. I also learned about the <a> tag, which is used to create links to other pages or websites, and the <img> tag, which displays images on a page. Understanding these tags helped me see how different elements on a webpage are arranged.        Another key lesson was about HTML attributes. I learned that attributes give extra information to tags and can control how ...

    Quirino, the sixth president of the Philippines, was a man of humble beginnings whose dedication to public service left a significant impact on the nation. Born on November 16, 1890, in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Quirino grew up in a modest family. Despite financial difficulties, he excelled academically and later earned his law degree from the University of the Philippines. His determination and hard work shaped his journey from being a simple teacher to one of the most influential leaders in Philippine history.     Quirino’s political career began when he served as a member of the Philippine House of Representatives in 1919. Over the years, he took on various roles, including Senator, Secretary of Finance, and Vice President under President Manuel Roxas. When Roxas passed away in 1948, Quirino assumed the presidency. His leadership came during a challenging post-war period, but he remained steadfast in rebuilding the nation’s economy, strengthening international relati...

     Every October, the Philippines celebrates National Indigenous Peoples (IP) Month to honor the rich heritage, culture, and contributions of indigenous communities. This year’s theme,  “Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan, at Parangalan”  (Valuing, Nurturing, and Honoring Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Knowledge), resonates deeply as the nation also marks the 27th year of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) of 1997. This law was a milestone in recognizing and protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples over their ancestral domains, culture, and traditions.      Through various events, discussions, and programs, this observance shines a light on the unique knowledge systems of Indigenous Peoples, passed down for generations. These systems, often rooted in environmental sustainability and community resilience, remind us of their vital role in protecting biodiversity and preserving cultural heritage. It also encoura...

     Climate change is one of the biggest problems in the world today, and the Philippines is one of the countries that suffer the most from it. Every year, we experience stronger typhoons, flooding, and other disasters that destroy homes and affect the lives of many Filipinos. These problems are caused by deforestation, pollution, and the overuse of resources like coal and oil, which add to global warming.      The effects of climate change are very clear. Typhoons like Yolanda caused so much destruction, especially in places near the sea. Forests are being cut down, which leads to landslides and loss of wildlife. Cities are becoming overcrowded, and the air and water are polluted, making it harder for people to stay healthy.      Despite all these challenges, Filipinos always find ways to survive and recover. We show resilience by helping each other during disasters and finding creative solutions to problems. But being resilient is not enou...

     The theme for this year’s National Children’s Month,  “Break the Prevalence, End the Violence: Protecting Children, Creating a Safe Philippines,”  is a strong call to action. It reminds us that children should be protected from all kinds of harm, whether it happens at home, school, or online. Many Filipino children face abuse, neglect, or exploitation, and this needs to stop for them to have a brighter future.     Violence against children doesn’t just hurt them physically. It can also affect how they grow, think, and feel for the rest of their lives. To create a safe environment for kids, everyone must work together families, schools, communities, and even the government. We need better laws and stricter rules to stop abuse, but we also need to educate people about kindness, respect, and the value of children’s rights.     This theme also encourages us to focus on prevention. Instead of waiting for bad things to happen, we should build ...

As we celebrate Environment Month, the theme "Let’s Clean Up and Blog!" encourages us to take action to preserve our planet. This initiative urges everyone to engage in clean-up drives while also sharing our experiences and insights through blogging. These activities not only help lessen trash and pollution but also promote a sense of community as we work together for a common goal. Sharing our experiences through blogging helps us to reflect on our efforts and show how our actions make a difference. By sharing what we do, we raise awareness about environmental problems and the need to care for our surroundings. This sharing can inspire conversations and motivate others to get involved in similar efforts. In this way, we can create a ripple effect, encouraging more people to join the movement and be committed to protecting our environment.     Taking a step towards a cleaner environment, one bag at a time! Taking a step towards a cleaner environment by turning recycled materi...
