          The Science Club Officers in collaboration with the Youth for Environment in Schools Organization (YES-O) Officers had put their own suggestions together in order for them to come up with the best activities that they can offer to their fellow students. During their opening program, bubbles were blown to catch the attention of the students. There was also the STEM Club officers, dancing to groove to entertain them. They also conducted many contested activities such as Himig Kalikasan, Sci-Quiz for different grade levels, Poster Making Contest, Essay Writing Contest, Poem to Mother Earth Contest, and many more. The higlight of the said celebration was the Ginoo at Binibining Kalikasan 2018, which is considered to be the most prestigous pageant that is conducted yearly. The winners of the pageant really deserved their title. Winning contestants from different activities were really proud of themselves.

           This year's theme has something to do Electromagnetism. The contested activities challenged the contestants very well. It was a tough fight for the contestants but they were all happy because new skills were discovered and many potentials were developed.

United Nations Month Celebration

Me Too

          Violence. Abuse. Child Labor. Child trafficking. Prostitution. Many people around the Philippines doesn't practice universal rights and doesn't value and doesn't care about oneself's dignity. Some doesn't even know about it, especially those in some regions who experience extreme poverty.

          Many people, especially women and children, experience violence. It is their right to speak and to be heard. But they prefered to remain silent. That is why it is very hard to address this problem. It is the childrens' right to attend school and get quality education. It is their right to play. They have to enjoy their childhood. But beacause of poverty, they  are forced to find a job at a young age in order for them to sustain their daily needs. Sometimes, the money they recieve or their pay is not even enough to buy food. Because of poverty, some people sell street children and make them slaves. Because of poverty, women are forced to get naked in front of their customers in order for them to gain money.

          According to the Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines, Article III, Bill of Rights, Section 1, "No man should be deprived of life, liberty, and property, without due process of law, nor any person shall be denied the equal protection of the law", so it is understood that what they are doing is against the law, and against the right of human beings.

          This comtemporary issue is very related to this year's United Nation Month Celebration theme, "Coming Together with those Furthest Behind Build an Inclusive World of Universal Right and Dignity."

          We must all be awared of what is happening around us. We must not let the rotten system of justice in our country eat us. We must fight until the end. We are all a part of this world. Let us work hand in hand to help address such issues. We might not know, one day, we are the victims already, ofcourse we are not letting that happen. NEVER AGAIN.
         

World Teachers' Day Celebration

WHO ARE THEY?

         
          "Good morning ma'am/sir! Its nice to see you again!" Greeting them with love and joy makes them feel welcomed and showing your eagerness to learn is something that inspires them to do more. During some activities, we laugh together, we experience happiness together, we cry together and we get sad together. During class sessions, we are inspired together and learn together. But sometimes we tend to forget to thank them. Who 'them'? OUR TEACHERS.

          We love our teachers because of the very friendly attitude they have, for they are good in teaching, they are not boring, they make the complicated lessons look easy, and they make the class more participative. Many of them knows how to adjust to the nature of their students. They make their students feel loved and appreciated. But admit it, there are also those teachers whom you hate because they give so many requirements. You hate them because they told you that you are not doing well in class even though you are already giving your hundred and one percent best. You hate your teacher who criticized your work, telling your work was not good, done only for compliance even if to you, it is already a masterpiece. You hate your teacher who gives you low grades even if you know that you deserve a higher one. You hate your teacher who called you 'stupid' just because you don't understand the lesson. You hate your teacher who told your class 'the worst batch ever'. All of those are part of your life as a student. But try to consider the fact that they also get tired. They also get stressed. You both do. Don't get mad at them, their just doing their job.

          But, have you ever tried to reflect on what is happening around you and came up with a conclusion that you also have a mistake? Have you ever realized that they are doing it because they want you to strive harder in order for you to become the bestest version of yourself? That they are doing it in preparation for your future? Have you tried to look on the positive side of life? No. Because you were only thinking about yourself. How about the sacrifices they have done? The efforts they have exerted? The knowledge that they have imparted? The memories you have shared? The good things that they have dona? Try to think of it.

          Let us not forget to thank them. Always remember that we all have our strenghts and weaknesses and that no one is perfect. Let us bear in our minds amd in our hearts that they are doing their best in any ways possible to give the quality education that we deserve. They are the backbone of our society, they are the foundation, the reason why we are standing, striving to be the best that we can be. And for that, they really deserve to be called 'heroes'. Who are they again? OUR TEACHERS.
