Developing the Philippine’s Resilience

     The Philippines, a place that is surrounded by the Pacific Ring of Fire, is extremely prone to typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. Numerous factors, including as the country's geographic location, tropical temperature, and damage to the environment, increase its vulnerability. Furthermore, natural disaster frequency and intensity have shifted as a result of deforestation, climate change, and unsustainable land use practices. For a variety of causes, the Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. In response to these issues, the Philippine government initiated a number of policies targeted at increasing the country's resilience. Early warning systems, evacuation procedures, disaster response teams, and disaster risk reduction laws have all been created in an effort to reduce the impact of these disasters. on addition, the government has invested on infrastructure development.

     Even with such efforts, developing resilience is still quite difficult. The

nation's ability to respond to disasters is limited by a lack of funds, poor

infrastructure, a lack of public awareness, susceptibility to climate

change, and geographic isolation. The Philippines must tackle the long-

term effects of climate change while reaching a balance between

catastrophe risk reduction and economic development.

Together in Honor of Teachers

     In my opinion, teachers have a major role in how our nation develops in the future. They are the ones who teach the knowledge and abilities necessary for us to carry out our everyday tasks. They put forth a lot of effort every day, even in trying times, to ensure that we all learn. Because they teach us manners, moral principles, and how to be decent individuals in addition to material knowledge, I believe that the teachers' commitment is invaluable. In accordance with the "Together4Teachers" theme, it's time to give teachers the respect and credit they deserve. I believe that since academics assist us in realizing our life objectives and dreams, we should all honor them. Based on my personal encounters, teachers inspire us and is determined to succeed no matter how challenging the task at hand. Therefore, throughout National Teachers Month, we must show our love and unity for teachers. I think it is the responsibility of the students and the community of showing to teachers the respect they deserve. Their commitment to their work and readiness to make sacrifices paved the way for everyone's future.

Living with Purpose

 

Good day! I’m Jelynne Trish Tacla, and this is actually my first time to make a blog. Let me share something about myself. Thinking back to the day I was born, A single instance marks the start of everything I have ever known and will ever know. I believe that my life is an artwork made of uncountable connections, feelings, and experiences, from the moment I breathed to the person I am now. I’m the unica hija and I was named after my parents names. The “Je” came from my Father’s first two letters in his name which is “Jeniffer”, and the “lyn” was from my Mother’s last three letters in her name. While my second name “Trish”, which just came from the internet, should be “Margaret” because my Grandmother’s name is “Margarita” and we share the same birthday.

Interesting right? Now, I’ll share more about myself.

I’m now 15 years old and currently living in Bongtolan, Vigan City, Ilocos Sur. I’m a sophomore student from Ilocos Sur National Highschool, and I’m under the Special Science Program. I would describe myself as an open person, humble, extroverted, soft-hearted and friendly. And as a student under the Special Class, stress is bound to happen because of our many elective subjects, but I’m trying to deal with the negativities by focusing on what I’m grateful for and prioritize my well-being. Another is, I try to improve my confidence, I set goals that is Achievable.

Regarding my future plans and goals, I have thought about them carefully. I aspire to travel around the world, and after graduating from highschool, I want to pursue Dentistry in Singapore. I believe that studying abroad will offer you more opportunities and a brighter future. Personally, I aim to challenge myself beyond my comfort zone.
