https://www.asianjournal.com/tag/philippine-independence-day/   One of the most significant dates in the Philippine’s history is Independence Day because it marks the nation’s independence from Spanish rule on June 12, 1898.  The Philippines' independence was a huge accomplishment. On Independence Day, national heroes' sacrifices are commemorated, the country's sovereignty is respected, citizens are instilled with nationalism, and the culture and tradition of the people are celebrated. General Emilio Aguinaldo raised the Philippine flag for the first time on that day in 1898, after issuing a decree declaring the day as a proclamation of independence. The sun represents liberty, and the eight rays reflect the original provinces that revolted against Spain on the Philippine flag. The three stars represent Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, the Philippines' three main islands. The white triangle stands for equality and hope, while the blue stripe signifies peace, truth, and jus...

THE PHENOMENON

  https://www.viganonline.com/ViewEntity.php?Category=Festivals&Name=Binatbatan%20Festival According to Damaso King, a well-known Vigan historian, the Viva Vigan Binatbatan Festival of the Arts, which runs from the last week of April to the first week of May, was originally the Feast of the Natives, which began on May 3, 1883.  Binatbatan Festival has its origins in Vigan's abel weaving business, which existed long before the Spaniards arrived to colonize the Philippines. It comes from the word batbat, which refers to a pair of bamboo sticks used to remove cotton pods from kapas sanglay trees. In Ilocano, the word "kapas" (from kapas sanglay) signifies "cotton."  https://www.citysearchphilippines.com/place/abel-loom-weaving/ There's a lot of activities during the said festival like street pageantry of the Binatbatan Street Dancing, it also emphasises Agriculture with its Karbo festival, Calesa Parade and the Santacruzan.  https://www.hellotravel.com/even...

WE ARE NOT JUST A WOMAN

https://givingcompass.org/article/why-philanthropists-should-invest-in-womens-movements-not-empowerment Women's empowerment can be described in a variety of ways, including accepting or attempting to seek out women's perspectives, and improving women's status through education, awareness, literacy, and training. They were treated as if they had never existed in the past. As if men were the exclusive owners of all rights, including the power to vote. With the passage of time, women began to recognize their own power. There was a turning point in the fight for women's rights.  https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/british-men-are-bigger-supporters-of-gender-equality-than-women-survey-1264359/amp/1 Gender equality is a human right first and foremost.

I have a hard time inserting the things I want and love to do in my schedule or should I say inserting time for answering modules? Time management is really difficult and important and I am glad that I don't have lacking even though I passed some of my answers late. I mean like what they always say, late is better than nothing, but if you could pass it early then much better.  https://thehappytrip.com/2015/02/list-of-hotels-and-inns-in-vigan-city/amp/ Actually, I learned a lot about my community in this quarter because of our Community based research in ICT. CBR makes me love and appreciate Vigan more. I learned the history of Vigan.  We are still writing blogs where we can express our idea to the different topics. I am really glad that we continue writing our own blogs because we can read each other's thoughts and we can gain new learning from it.  https://www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/2...

We have a choice

https://www.gbhoh.com/do-addictive-drugs-affect-the-covid-19-vaccine-2021-data/ The impact of Covid 19 on our life is very visible and the thing we can do is accept the changes, live with it and go on with our lives. After a year or two, finally, vaccines for adults and seniors are here. Months passed, vaccines for teenagers finally arrived. People are so happy and excited to get shots of Covid 19 vaccines but there's also some who are not yet sure and afraid to get vaccinated because of the possible side effects. If you have an unvaccinated friend, do you suggest to her/him to get vaccinated now?  To put an end to the pandemic, a huge portion of the population must be immune to the virus. A vaccination is the safest approach to accomplish this. As of now, there's 11 vaccines approved for use in the Philippines. 61.2% of the Philippine population or 67.1 M people are fully vaccinated.  The most asked questions are, "is Covid 19 vaccine safe?" "Is Covid 19 vaccine...

Inspiration and Lesson from the Past

  https://dap.edu.ph/araw-ng-kagitingan/ April 9th is traditionally connected with Bataan and Corregidor, and today we celebrate events that occurred 80 years ago. Today and tomorrow, Filipinos can reminisce on times of fortitude and courage in the face of adversity, and if required, call on that strength again.  Thousands of ordinary Filipinos — with or without formal training who took up arms anyway, soldiers who had not surrendered or escaped, and civilians providing logistical, intelligence, and moral support — have shown their willingness, courage, and valour in continuing the fight against the occupation forces.  Looking back on the events of the past, we can see that our heroism must extend beyond defending our shores from foreign invasion. These aren't simply battle stories; they're our stories, our history, and stories of Filipinos who have accomplished tremendous things.  https://images.app.goo.gl/o3XR8bFmhJxctETq9 The Araw ng Kagitingan commemorates not on...
