Philippines: Goal to be a Resilient Country

Resiliency, the ability to adapt to something and to recover from something. And as we all know, the Philippines is a disaster prone country because of its location. It’s situated in the Pacific Ring of Fires and it’s prone to earthquake, volcanic eruptions and because of its location, it experiences a lot of typhoons every year.

Just like the typhoon Yolanda, which is one of the most destructive typhoons that entered the Philippines, and the Earthquake that took place in Bohol, these disasters left a big damage to our country. It took a lot of lives of our countrymen. But despite these disasters, the government did a lot to help the citizens recover from the damages.

WE may not be the most resilient country, but if the government will try harder in helping the country, we may become one of the most resilient countries. Resiliency is one of the traits that Filipinos adapted to. So we must be proud to be a Filipino.

"A letter to the President"

July 9, 2018 PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE Malacanang Palace Compound J.P. Laurel Street, San Miguel Manila Philippines Dear Mr. President, Good day Mr. President! I’m a Grade 10 student from Ilocos Sur National High School and I would like to acknowledge the things you are doing in your “War against drugs” campaign. I believe that your campaign is having a great start to make our country a “drug-free” country because there are currently a lot of drug pushers in rehabilitation and the so called “drug lords” number is becoming less and less. Although a lot people disagree with your ways because they think it’s brutal and feel that their rights as a person is being violated. I think that this is a good way of lessening the number of drug users and even prevent some people from using drugs. ...

Equallity for Everyone

They say that no man is an island and even if you're lonely sometimes, there will always be a person who will care for you. And men are made to be with women and women are made for men. And together they can do a lot of things like building a family and helping each other to survive. But in today’s time inequality is arising. It has a lot of negative effects to women and to the world. Women feel like they have no sense in the community and they do not feel important because of how men treat them. They treat them like slaves and they don’t appreciate their skills. And that changed the meaning of equality where everyone's right is equal and should be respected. Unity is being forgotten but we can bring it back again. In order to achieve equality, we made laws to respect and protect everyone’s right. Through that, equality can be slowly regained. But some countries don’t have these laws and don't consider women’s rights but we hope that they can make laws in order to achi...
