Second Grading Reflection

          I can't believe that another quarter had been finished. This grading period, we tackle on the internet access and HTML documents. These two topics aren't difficult to learn. I am so amazed by the tags we used in making HTML documents. Our teacher teach us on how to use the tags properly. I am so glad that i've learned a lot from that experience.

          Since the invention and popularization of the internet, computer mediated communication has become an increasingly common mode of socialization. Many people have voiced the concern that the move away from physical communication might have negative repercussions for society; however, socialization on the internet has a number of advantages over traditional socialization. The internet provides a larger pool of potential social contacts compared to physically seeking people, creates means for people to easily communicate when spatially or temporally disconnected and allows a comfortable atmosphere for communication.

          This second quarter was fun and interesting. At first, i taught that it was easy to make a web design using a notepad but i was wrong, as we continued further in our lesson, it became more and more complicated. I will continue to make HTML for our own web design. This grading has been an amazing and good experience.

Promotion of Human Right for Peace and Development

            “Human rights and fundamental freedoms are the birth right of all human beings” and since 1948, this principle has been generally accepted in international instruments and has contributed to the substantive development of international human rights law for protection and promotion of both individual and universal human rights. But still, individuals and groups around the world continuously become victim of human rights violations. In this regard, the hour to hour and daily reports of electronic and print media hearing and reading makes quite disturbing the world people at large.

               The matters always concerned in keeping the world terrorism and war free and to confirm continuous peace and development worldwide having been crying human needs are the issues of ‘life, food, dress, shelter, education, religion, culture, health, environment, employment, marriage and choice of spouse, security, freedom, democracy, good governance, equality and justice etc. which give birth to various rights of every individual irrespective of gender, religion, race, colour, language, caste, place of birth, political or other opinion, national or social which deserve remedial measures and protection of law for peace and equal development of all. But in the present day world as no individual and no country exists in isolation and as all we live simultaneously in our own communities and in the world at large we all are very much connected and interdependent and therefore human rights being universally inherent, inalienable and inviolable rights of all members of the human family which the states and their public authorities are to ensure for the people, need global treatment across the planet’.

                The charter of United Nations imposes clear, compelling, legal obligations on all member-nations/states to promote economic and social development and human rights through collective and individual efforts. The human rights groups throughout the world are performing commendable tasks drawing attention to violation of human rights and taking steps to implement these rights, protecting one against person, repressive society and polluted environment, and above all, man-made bad laws. But what is needed is action derived from collective wisdom if we are to bequeath a happy peaceful and developed world. To attain the goal, equal protection of law, equal and reasonable opportunities for everybody to avail the course of law to improve out quality of life is a must.

Ang guro ay walang kapantay, bawat turo niya sa kabataan ay may saysay.

       Ang temang "Gurong Pilipino: Turo Mo, Kinabukasan Ko" ay ang tema para sa "National Teachers' Month" ngayong taong 2018. Ito ay nagbibigay ng pugay sa kontribusyon ng mga gurong Pilipino sa kinabukasan ng kanilang mga estudyante, sa kabila ng mababang pasahod at kaunting benepisyo na natatanggap nila bawat buwan. Ang ating mga guro ay may kanya-kanya mang estilo sa pagtuturo ng mga aral at konsepto sa kanilang estudyante, ngunit sa huli, iisa lang ang kanilang layunin. Ito ay ang mapausbong ang kaalaman ng kanilang mga estudyante, hindi lamang sa teknikal na mga kaalaman kundi pati sa kabutihang asal na mababaon nila hanggang sa kanilang paglaki. 

        Habang tayo ay mga estudyante pa lamang, lasapin natin ang mga sandali na tayo ay may mga guro na handang umantabay sa atin bilang ating mga pangalawang magulang. Malaki ang papel nila sa ating buhay habang tinatahak natin ang landas ng pagiging estudyante na laging handang tumanggap ng mga kaalaman. 

        Nawa'y nakatulong ito sa paggawa ng iyong salaysay. Sigurado ako na marami ka ring mga ideya kung paano nakakatulong sa iyo at sa iyong kinabukasan ang iyong minamahal at ginagalang na guro.

Develop the scientific mind, discover the world of potentials

          "Wavefront: Accentuating Potentials, Activating Technological Advancements" is the theme of the National Science Club Month this 2018. How does this theme apply or relate to us? The theme urges everyone of us to use our talents, maximize our knowledge, and unleash our potentials so that we can contribute in the development, progress, and advancement of technology. We may not know it, but even our smallest efforts can contribute to our society, and inspire other people to take actions too. 

            For me, the theme means that we must discover our own inner potential so that we can contribute to technological advancements in our own little ways. Our passion for something can lead us to find ways to make our work more efficient. Contributing to more efficiency is a technology in itself because it helps us make our life easier.

            In today’s society, modern technology is evidently developing rapidly and it is portrayed as a negative impact. It can be seen that technology is a substitution of all characteristics of life. The purpose of every technological invention is to benefit the lives of mankind; thus re-enforcing the positive connotation of technology. However, in long term it may not be beneficial; such as, education, work and leisure are all becoming dependent on technology; cyberspace is dangerous and child obesity is increasing.

            If we discover our potentials as early as now, we will know more about ourselves such as our strengths and our weaknesses. If we know these, we can capitalize on our own strengths and improve our weaknesses so that we can contribute to our society. Who knows, we might be the next scientist, architect, engineer, doctor, teacher or officer out there. Regardless of what occupation we might have, if we accentuate and capitalize on our potentials, we can surely make a difference to make this world a better place - just like how technology does it.

Resilience of Filipino on Disaster

   
         


                   The Philippines, is a leading regional actor in disaster risk management. However, a full picture of who is doing what, how, where and when on resilience and disaster preparedness does not exist. Consequently there is no single study that compares the impacts and results that different preparedness measures are having in the Philippines. We recommend further research focused on mapping the network of actors, understanding community perceptions of disaster risk preparedness and resilience, and investigation into the socio-ecological systems of different communities.

                   The government of the Philippines and numerous relief organizations work together to move beyond the immediate response to the disaster-stricken areas and embark on the longer-term recovery process, the challenge will be how well they can realize the vision of' "building back better" in order to have communities in a stronger position to withstand the unforgiving nature of these disasters. This approach to humanitarian assistance has grown as best practices have been captured during other disaster relief operations, from carrying out reconstruction that properly accounts for future hazards and addressing the urgent need to restore livelihoods. Being situated in the "Pacific Ring of Fire" and expecting future natural calamities, the approach of managing disaster risk reduction has been embraced from national authorities down to many local government units.

                   This paper assessed the extant research and practice of resilience and disaster preparedness in the Philippines, which serves as a good model on how to strengthen resilience and promote disaster risk reduction at the local level. Research and inventions are already identifying examples of best practice in disaster preparedness, response and recovery; however, important underlying drivers of disaster risk, such as a degrading environment and inequality, still remain over looked. With the frequency and intensity of disaster set to increase, communities are going to have to prepare more for worse events. This poses the question of how much longer we can react to disasters rather than mitigating them in the first place. The urgency with which we must address the research gaps across the disaster cycle, and in particular in preventing and mitigating disaster risk alongside preparedness, is mounting. Research findings must then be translated in policy decisions with committed implementation. A greater prioritization of mitigation, prevention and preparedness is not only economically advantageous, but from a humanitarian point of view, reduces the human costs, and aligns with initiatives on sustainable development.
