PHILIPPINE RESILIENCE

Philippines celebrates the National Disaster Resilience Month with the theme “Kahandhaan  sa Sakuna’t Peligro para sa tunay na Pagbabago”. Filipinos are really resilient we are always ready and bravely face this natural disasters and calamities that struck our home Philippines.

Being prepared means being ready for what may happen and may occur. And it has been an essential for every Filipino because Philippines is in the Pacific ring of fire which means that we have many active volcanoes in our countries and can also trigger more earthquakes that usual, it is also beside the pacific west basin which means Philippines experience 20 or more typhoons a year, in short the Philippines is a Disaster prone country. But why is the Philippines continues to grow as a country? That’s because Filipinos are resilient, we always come prepared and that is because Philippines have these government facilities and agencies that helps the people and educate the people of the Philippines in this aspects.

People of the Philippines before are really irresponsible when it comes to being prepared in this natural disasters but with all this DRRM which conducts the National Disaster Resilience Month that aims to inform all the Filipinos about disaster preparedness and other calamity related aspects.

Kumain ng wasto at maging aktibo, Push natin to!

 National Nutrition Council leads the Philippine’s to celebrate the national nutrition month in the month of July. This NNC provides information and resources to make every Filipino healthy.

Being physically fit is a factor to spend your life to the fullest. You can do everything others do when your physically healthy. Spending your whole life being unhealthy is the worst nightmare I have dreamed of.

The National Nutrition Council conducts contests which are skill related and health related competitions which aims to make every Filipino healthy. These competitions advocates that everybody should change their lifestyles and make it a healthy life.

This “Kumain ng wasto at maging aktibo, Push natin to!” which is the theme for this year’s nutrition month celebration means that  we should not let bad habits drown us, we should eat healthy foods and be active in our social life.

Daig ng Handa ang Anumang Sakuna

Earthquake is destructive. It is unpredictable, we won’t know where and when will it strike this characteristics of earthquake made this disaster so much destructive. Earthquake can’t be prevented and we can’t do anything to stop this natural phenomenon but there’s one thing we can do about it and that is to be ready at all times.

As the saying goes “Daig ng Handa ang Anumang Sakuna” which means disasters are nothing when you are ready. Conducting this earthquake drills are very important, this makes people ready at all times and gives them information and knowledge on what to do when a earthquakes strikes randomly.

Earthquake drills are not only for earthquakes it can also be used in case of fire just follow the emergency exits on an earthquake and this might save your life. It cost just nothing to be ready which can save millions of lives which value is everything. Nothing is more important than to be ready, and always prepared for everything that may occur.

Dear Mr. President,

          Millions of Filipinos trusted you and gave their votes to you which means giving you their full trust, with all those platforms and promises you’ve said, we Filipinos are still hoping for answers to and actions for all of your promises.

It’s been 3 years since you’ve been elected as the President of the Philippines and we all know you’ve done so much things for our beloved country. We all wanted to improve this country but can you be more careful on your decisions? And also with your jokes which are really funny but can you reduce it specially on a formal speech? Every joke and swears that came out from your mount made some people not believe in you.

Mr. President, make this country a productive and healthy country. Philippines needs the best world leader to make this country more beautiful, environmental friendly, peaceful country. Continue making your best be enough for the Filipino people. Godbless Mr. President!

Yours truly,

Vince John Ponce

FREEDOMINATED

First of all, what is independence? Independence for me is self-government or being free and to do the things you wanted to do without any help or supervision. Second, is Philippines really independent? After those 333 years of colonization of Spain, 48 years from the Americans and 3 years from the Japanese. We’ve been colonized by these countries and already declared independence but are we really independent?

June 12, 1898 was the first declaration of independence from the Spaniards. This was the time that all the Filipino’s sufferings were ended. But declaring the independence again followed by the colonization of the Japanese people which limited the freedom of all the Filipinos, after this the Americans fought the Japanese and became the leaders of the Philippines until this Americans set us free and became independent for the second time.

 We Filipinos already declared independence 2 times but why does Philippines still is under control of other world leaders? Why do Philippine leaders still depend on other world leaders? Philippines are still not that independent specially on government aspects. Other higher states still dictate  what our country should do, we still cant decide on our own. Is that really independence?
