  PROTECT OUR EATH      Our planet is lovely; God has blessed us with pure nature, gorgeous landscapes, and a healthy environment, but people continue to desecrate it. Pollution of many types, deforestation, excessive use of plastics, storms, and numerous other environmental issues are all present. Scientists regularly warn us, yet we ignore them, continuing to ruin our environment and failing to take action to heal our earth.      How can we protect our mother beautiful planet, even if we make small sacrifices? We were gifted with magnificent scenery, unusual animals, and a great atmosphere, yet everything has been mistreated thus far. So, even if we don't have much expertise or experience with our environment, we may still help to save our planet today. This is as simple as turning off outlets we don't use, deleting needless emails, and using reusable bags and tumblers instead of plastics. If plastics are inevitable, collect them and give them to b...

  WE ARE ALL EQUAL International Women's Month is observed throughout the month of March. It is a celebration to recognize women's accomplishments and to discuss ongoing and developing women's empowerment and gender equality topics, concerns, challenges, and commitments, as well as for wome n to achieve the equality and respect they require, just as they do for men. They are also commemorating this month to demonstrate how significant women are in our society and how powerful they are. As a woman, I have faced or witnessed many inequalities in my life, as well as discrimination that what men do is preferable to what women do. While legal equality in the workplace is a reality in many nations, genuine equality between men and women remains a long way off. In this sense, change is gradual, much like applying for jobs, because in real life, leaders in all fields refuse to admit women because others believe they cannot afford to work, in other words women's jobs generally...

  Appreciating our Community      Since our topic today is community-based research, which means getting to know our community or the place where we sleep or build our house, I learnt a lot this quarter. We were given tasks to identify or research our community, which was beneficial to me because, despite the fact that I grew up here and continue to live here, I will acknowledge and admit that I still know very little about our town.  I also learned a lot about our place's history through the tasks we were given, such as how our community got its name, if it was conquered by the Spaniards, what happened here in ancient times, what are the religious beliefs, food products, places to visit, the history of barangays and sitios, and much more. Also as a result of doing so, I developed a fascination or interest in learning more about what is important to know in our area, which has aided me in conducting this research appropriately, pleasantly, and with love i...
