The Philippines are very prone to natural disasters like typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and more. Somebody might be wondering, “why is this country prone to natural disasters?” Well the Philippines are located along both the path of tropical storm brewing in the western Pacific and the Ring of Fire. Unfortunately, Filipinos are not only suffering from natural disasters but also human made disasters and at the moment the Philippines are facing and fighting Covid19 pandemic.

These disasters are really destructive and it kills lives and destroys properties. Remember the damage caused by typhoon Haiyan/ Super Typhoon Yolanda in the country? That up to this day we can still see the traces left by the typhoon especially in Tacloban. Years have passed and some of the affected areas and people are still not fully recovered. Based here we can conclude that the country is not resilient enough because it took us many years to recover. 

As I stated earlier, the Philippines are facing and fighting the
Covid19 pandemic. Well, not only the Philippines but the whole world and it is unfortunate
for us again because we left behind. While our Covid19 cases rise our economy will fall and the Philippines will be mired in debt. But it is not too late because hopefully all Filipinos will be vaccinated and we will be going to make our economy grow again. I know it will take years before we can
pay the country’s debt.

Those are some problems that we or the country encountered and it made us realize that the Philippines need to be more resilient for us to grow faster and to proceed to achieve our goals. Goals that are not only for ourselves but also for our country. If we want a more resilient country we must unite as a nation and if along the way we encounter a big change we must STOP, ADAPT and then PROCEED.

As I move forward to the 2nd Quarter, new learnings, challenges and experiences welcomed me and that makes me a better person than yesterday.  In this quarter we are still writing our own blog plus we learned about the different tags in HTML. Actually, at first I didn't know where and how to create HTML files but now, I know the different tags and their uses. Creating blogs and HTML is a fun and productive activity. We also started our research, and that means new learnings for us. I could say that I have learned a lot this quarter.  https://www.fanpop.com/clubs/being-lazy/images/853701/title/lazy-days-photo Moving on, we always encounter problems and challenges in our journey and in this quarter I had a hard time fighting my lazy days. There's a day where I don't want to do anything. I wanted...

The Quality: Not as Good as Before

Image
https://www.baldwin-school.org/apps/news/article/1178052   The pandemic caused a lot of problems, not only on our health but also on the quality of education. During this pandemic we do not have a physical class but we do have an online and modular class. It is great because despite of Covid19 pandemic, DepEd makes ways for us to continue our study by different learning methods. I know that their intention was good because they do not want us to be left behind in the field of education and the question is, “Is the quality of education good?” I think it is not as good as before. https://www.rappler.com/nation/millions-fail-to-enroll-elementary-high-schools-philippines-2020-2021 We can’t change the fact that not all students, even teachers are able to keep up with the new strategies of learning. The number of enrollees during this pandemic is lower than the number of enrollees before pandemic. In school year 2019-2020 the estimated number of enrollees was 27 million while in S.Y 2020...

GOOD or BAD?

Image
  https://images.app.goo.gl/Rmmqeu5az8angqKq7 I will start this with a question, how can you/they say that it is a good or bad change? I always wonder because I heard people saying that “she changed in a bad way” or “she changed in a good way” like how could you say that? So here I am and in this blog I will let you ‘judge’ if these changes that happened to me were good or bad. I do not know how to start this but since our topic is about my changes as a person then I will start when I am still a kid. As far as I remember, the young Danaya is very talkative and she can’t keep a secret especially to her father. She doesn’t say bad words, she is weak but not afraid to take risks and she’s a papa’s girl. The Danaya that is writing this blog is very far from the young Danaya because like what they say there is no permanent in life.  https://tinyurl.com/themindjournal As I grow older, my perspective in life also changes. My only goal before was to be happy but now I have a lot of go...
