The Positive and Fighting Spirits (PHILIPPINE RESILIENCY)

The Philippines is located near West Basin and at the Pacific Ring of Fire that's why it is called a "disaster-prone" country. It experiences a lot of of disaster like volcanic eruption, earthquake, and typhoons. There are 20-26 typhoons entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility and the Philippines already experienced war.

The Filipinos had faced a lot of challenges in life. These include the war in Marawi. Last May 23, 2017, the Battle of Marawi started. It was a 5-month long armed conflict between the Philippine Government Security Forces, and Maute and Abusayaff groups. The war ended on October 23, 2017. the typhoon Yolanda, also known as "typhoon Haiyan" devastated some portions of the Southeast Asia, and one of the country who suffered from the typhoon is the Philippines. People died, many innocent lives were taken, some went missing, some drowned in the flood, some sacrificed, but despite of these disasters, Filipinos still smile like how the Sun shines, even though we went through a lot of difficulties.

Filipinos are flexible. They still manage to stay happy and be at peace even though pain is killing them. They learn to accept and let go, although they can't forget the sorrow. Resiliency can be seen. how they cope up with the hatreds, pain and sorrows, and they still have hope for a better tomorrow. They still have faith to God, holding unto His promise and as their savior. You can see how their faith and braveness outshine even death is surrounding them.

Filipino: Wika ng Saliksik

"Nagdudulot sa akin ng di matingkalang kasiyahan na maipahayag ko sa inyo na ngayong ika-41 na anibersaryo ng pagmamartir ng nagtatag at pinakadakilang nagtatag ng nasyonalismong Pilipino, ay naging karangalan kong ilagda, bilang pag-alinsunod sa utos ng Konstitusyon at ng umiiral na batas, ang isang Kautusang Tagapagpaganap na nagtatalaga sa isa sa mga katutubong wika na maging batayan ng wikang pambansa ng bayang Pilipino", inihayag ng Ama ng Wikang Pambansa, ang dating Pangulo ng Pilipinas, Manuel L. Quezon, noong ika-30 ng Disyembre, 1937, na inayon sa Executive Order No. 134. Maraming proklamasyon ang ginawa upang palitan o baguhin ang petsa ng pagdiriwang ng Pambansang Wika, at noong ika-15 ng Enero, 1997, ipinahayag ng dating Pangulo na si Fidel V. Ramos na ang buong buwan ng Agosto ay ang "Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa".

Ang Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino, o KWF, kasama ang Department of Education (DepED), ay naatasan upang pangunahan ang isang buwang pagdiriwang. At ngayong taong 2018, ang tema ng Buwan ng Wika ay, "Filipino:Wika ng Saliksik" (Filipino: Language of Research). Marami ang mga kaganapan tuwing ipinagdiriwang ito; ang sabayang pagbigkas, balagtasan, paggawa ng posters, slogans, paggawa ng sanaysay, pagbigkas ng tula, pagsayaw ng mga katutubong sayaw, at pag-awit ng mga katutubong awit. Ang mga layunin ng pagdiriwang ay upang lubos na maipatupad ang Presidential Proclamation Number 1041, series of 1997; upang hikayatin ang mga iba't ibang ahensiya ng gobyerno at mga pribadong sektor na mas palawigin at itaguyod ang wikang Filipino; upang hikayatin at bigyang inspirayon ang mga Pilipino na mas lalong tangkilikin, mahalin at pahalagahan ang pambansang Wika.

May mga mamamayang Pilipino ang mas pinipili ang ibang lenggwahe kaysa sa ating sariling wika. Atin silang hikayatin at ihayag na dapat pahalagahan ang sariling atin upang mas lalo tayong magkaisa sa paglalawig ng wikang Filipino, ang Wika ng Saliksik.

3rd State of the Nation Address 2018

Plant Nutritious Food and Harvest Flourishing Life

          Every year, we celebrate the Nutrition Month in July, and a theme is being released by the National Nutrition Council. ISNHS students join different contest in connection to the Nutrition Month Celebration, and the highlight is the Nutri Jingle competition wherein participants make a piece or composition regarding the month's theme and choreograph a sing and dance to present it on contest. This 2018, the theme is, "Ugaliing Magtanim, Sapat na Nutrition Aanihin."

          Growing crops give us a lot of advantages, through physical and financial means. Financially, it helps us save and gain. Save, because instead of buying them in the market, we are just going to pick on the garden. Gain, because if we harvest more of it, we can sell them and we can gain money. Physically, because as we eat freshly harvest nutritious foods and eat healthy foods everyday because you have the means to have those, your body will be healthy. You're not easily inclined to illness. You're less or not prone to diseases.
         
          We should learn how to apply this in our lives. Let us do the right thing. As what the theme for me says, we should sow or grow crops or plants that are nutritious and healthy and we'll reap and harvest a flourishing and bountiful life.
