Filipino Resiliency

Disaster resilience is the ability of individuals, communities, organizations and states to adapt to, and recover from hazards, shocks or stresses without compromising long-term prospects for development. Resilience is the ability to anticipate risk, limit impact, and bounce back rapidly through survival, adaptability, evolution, and growth in the face of turbulent change. Resilient communities minimize any disaster's disruption to everyday life and their local economies.

Our country is prone to many disasters thus many structures were destroyed and many people were injured and killed because of these disasters. Our country has a difficulty in recovering immediately after these disasters and most of the Filipinos depend and rely their needs on the government and and this is the so called Top Down Approach wherein the government are the only one planning and working on how to recover fast from a disaster. That's why our country is slow and left behind when it comes in recovering from a disaster because many people are depending, relying and waiting on them even if they can stand on their own. This is one of the problem why our country has a difficulty in recovering fast because the people were always relying on the government. What if we'll change our habit and do the Bottom Up Approach wherein we are joining and helping in planning on how we will solve these problems and we can also share some possible solutions. Our country will immediately recover if we Filipino are helping one another, supporting the government and we should not always rely on them if we think that we can do it without their help to lessen their thoughts and problems and that they can give attention and can help on those people who are less fortunate or those who have disabilities and can't support their needs.

Helping and planning together should be possessed to make the country recover immediate from a disaster and can surpass all the challenges that the country is facing.

FILIPINO: Wika ng Saliksik

Ang Buwan ng Wika ay ipinagdiriwang dito sa Pilipinas tuwing buwan ng Agosto. Ipinagdiriwang ito upang maipakita ang ating pagpapahalaga sa ating sariling wika. Ang tema ngayong taong 2018 ay “Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik.” Ano nga ba ang tunay na layunin nito?

Ang wikang Filipino ay ang pambansang wika dito sa Pilipinas. Nais ng KWF na kilalanin at gamitin ang wikang Filipino bilang midyum sa paglikha at pagpapalaganap ng pambansang karunungan at kaunlaran. Sa pamamagitan ng temang ito, layunin ng KWF na palaganapin ang wikang Filipino sa iba’t ibang larangan ng karunungan lalo na sa agham at matematika. Gusto ng KWF na gamitin natin ang wikang Filipino sa pagsasaliksik natin ng mga kaalaman. Habang pinapalago natin ang ating kaalaman sa agham at matematika kailangan din nating palaguin ang kaalaman sa Filipino, ang ating wikang Pambansa. Sa buwan na ito ay maraming mga aktibidades ang magaganap para malinang at madagdagan pa ang ating kaalaman tungkol sa wikang Filipino.

Kailangan nating pahalagahan, linangin at bigyang importansya ang ating sariling wika, ang wikang Filipino. Ayon sa ating pambansang bayani na si Dr. Jose Rizal ay “Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay mas masahol pa sa malansang isda.”

1.	Embedded journalism refers to news reporters being attached to military units involved in armed conflicts. While the term could be applied to many historical interactions between journalists and military personnel, it first came to be used in the media coverage of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The United States military responded to pressure from the country's news media who were disappointed by the level of access granted during the 1991 Gulf War and the 2001 U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_journalism	Google.com	Phrase Searching

Tundra is the coldest of all the biomes. Tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturi, meaning treeless plain. It is noted for its frost-molded landscapes, extremely low temperatures, little precipitation, poor nutrients, and short growing seasons. Bush administration is so interested with this because the administration is looking for oil resources

Reflection

Our first quarter lesson in ICT excites me because I want to know more about the internet, it’s history, internet architects, Philippine Internet Pioneers, Software Pioneers and blogs.

I learned and discovered the people behind the making of internet and when did they developed it and where did it came from. It gave me more ideas on how did they invent and made it. It is better if we know when did the internet started because this is very helpful and useful for us students in doing our assignments and projects and it also helps the workers. I also learned those internet architects, Philippine Internet Pioneers and Software Pioneer who contributed in the making of the internet. I learned a lot about the internet. I also learned and discovered what blog is. My knowledge about the blogs was added and became broad. I encountered different problems and challenges in memorizing and knowing the dates because there were so many of it and it was hard to know all the dates and happenings. I will address these challenges by giving more efforts and attention in knowing all the happenings and events about the internet.

Moving on, I will use such lessons learned not just as prepartion for examinations but for a daily life basis. These lessons will not just be memorized just to answer questions on tests but also be used for life purposes. 

Human Rights vs. Human Lives

In the 3rd State of the Nation Address of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, he discussed many things but he highlighted the issue about the drug-related killings. That his concern is human lives not the human rights because the lives of the youths are being wasted and many families are being destroyed because of the chemicals called shabu, cocaine, cannabis and heroin.

I got the point of President Duterte that human lives are more important than the human rights that is protecting the criminals who killed and can kill more innocent people. It is just right to give a formidable punishment to the criminals who killed and done unlawful and inhumanly doings to their victims. Why are we going to spare the criminal's life if they mercilessly and ruthlessly killed or took someone's life? A person who is addicted on drugs cannot think right anymore because their mind was been destroyed by the chemicals that they were taking. That's why they kill and harass innocent people because they can't think right because of the illegal drugs that they were taking. Those people who are using drugs are the main source of crimes in our country that's why many innocent people were involved and got killed because of their doings. The drug traffickers should realize that taking those drugs aren't helpful and it can only lead many problems and complications in our country. They should be penalized or sentenced with a life imprisonment because it is their fault why they were punished, they knew that it was harmful and it has many bad effects but they still continue to take it. They should know the importance of everyone's life.

Those drug traffickers should stop using illegal drugs and should change their lives because many lives are being wasted and destroyed. We only live once so we better do only the right things, and we should respect and value everyone's life.
