BLOG POST — November 14, 2025 “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!” Image Suggestion 1: Children holding hands with a shield icon (symbolizing protection) The 2025 National Children’s Month highlights a powerful and urgent call: “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!” This theme reminds us that the digital world, while full of opportunities, also carries real dangers for children. Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) has become one of the fastest-growing crimes in the world, and the Philippines is no exception. Because of this, the celebration pushes us to fight harder for the safety, dignity, and rights of every Filipino child. Image Suggestion 2: Illustration of a child using a computer with parental supervision The government has taken strong steps to protect children, especially through laws such as the Anti-OSAEC and Anti-CSAEM Act (RA 11930), which strengthens enforcement against predators and supports fa...

Caoayan is a town located near the Heritage City of Vigan. It is known as the birthplace of *Abel*, the traditional handwoven fabric of the Ilocanos. One well-known weaving shop in the area is **Pagabelan ni Tinay, where local weavers continue the age-old tradition of creating Abel using wooden looms and vibrant threads. When I visited Pagabelan ni Tinay, I had the chance to witness how the weavers patiently worked on their intricate designs. Their hands moved gracefully, forming patterns that reflected both creativity and skill. It takes several hours—or even days—to finish a single piece of fabric. The weavers produce blankets, scarves, bags, and other handmade items that embody the culture and hard work of the people of Caoayan. Although Abel weaving originated in Caoayan, it has also become part of Vigan’s rich heritage. Several weaving shops in Vigan continue to create Abel products to promote Ilocano craftsmanship to both locals and tourists. This shows how Caoayan and Vigan work...

Climate change

Image
  Climate change has become one of the most destructive challenges facing the Philippines today. As a country located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, near the equator, and the typhoon belt, the Philippines is naturally vulnerable to natural hazards. However, the increasing frequency and intensity of typhoons, rising sea levels, floods, and droughts are no longer just natural occurrences—they are worsened by human-induced climate change. According to the World Meteorological Organization, 2024 was the warmest year on record, with ocean warming playing a major role in intensifying storms and disrupting weather patterns. One of the reasons for these environmental changes is the continued emission of greenhouse gases from industrial activities, transportation, burning of plastics, and deforestation. Urbanization and poor waste management also contribute to environmental degradation, especially in coastal and low-lying areas. These factors have led to more severe flooding, landslides, and ...

It's an invitation to learn the infinite knowledge: from unlikely mysteries of our endless universe to powering prolong future through Science and innovation. Science, in this context, becomes a both a compass and a light, guiding us through the unknown and evolving it into limitless possibilities.   As we look ahead to the coming decades, the relationship between science and society will deepen in unprecedented ways. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, discovering cure for complex illnesses, and synthetic biology are not just reshaping industries—they’re redefining how we survive, live, learn, and connect. Climate in Science, for instance, is empowering communities to adapt to environmental change, promote su...

  The 2025 National Teachers’ Month, themed “My Teacher, My Hero,” Happened on October 2, 2025 at Ilocos Sur National High School was a heartfelt tribute to the educators who shape our lives with strong foundation, wisdom, patience, and passion for teaching. Spearheaded by the National Teachers’ Month Coordinating Council (NTMCC) and supported by the Department of Education and Metrobank Foundation, this year’s celebration focused on Early Childhood Care and Development, while also honoring teachers across all levels for their quiet heroism. As a student, I actively participated in several events that made this celebration truly memorable. I joined the Teachers’ Day parade, a vibrant show of unity and appreciation. I also took part in the Sagala organized by the Supreme Student Government (SSLG), where we honored our teachers with grace and tradition together with their arcs. One of the most touching moments was when we surprised our teachers with cakes—a sweet gesture that brought...

My second quarter reflection

Image
This quarter has greatly enhanced my understanding of HTML. I learned how to use both container and stand-alone tags, as well as attributes that control background images, font colors, and text styles. I also discovered how to insert images and hyperlinks, making my web pages more interactive and visually appealing. Working with Notepad as our coding platform taught me the value of precision, organization, and attention to detail in programming. These lessons gave me a clearer picture of how websites are created and built a strong foundation for my future ICT projects. Despite these achievements, the process was not without challenges. I sometimes got confused by tag syntax and had trouble remembering which attributes applied to specific elements. Even small errors—like a missing punctuation mark or an unclosed tag—could cause my code to malfunction. It was often frustrating to debug without immediately knowing what went wrong. There were times I felt unsure of my progress, especially ...
