A Special Day for Love

Valentine’s Day is a special occasion celebrated every February 14, in the calendar dedicated to love and affection. On this day, people express their love for someone special-who may be a partner, a family member, or a friend. The origin of the observance stretches back to ancient times but has developed into a contemporary celebration laden with gifts, cards, and little acts of kind-heartedness.

We celebrate Valentine's Day as a day of thanking people and as an act of love towards those significant persons in our lives. It has nothing to do solely with love relationships but also the connection between family and friends. A lot of people give chocolates, flowers, and heartfelt messages to show how much they care and are grateful. This is to remind one to cherish and value people who bring happiness into his or her life.

One might express love during Valentine's Day in so many ways: writing love letters, spending time together, or just simply doing little acts of kindness. Some do those very small and simple things that make a very big difference from all the rest. There are still others who surprise their loved ones with gifts that really don't have that much value but say "I love you" with a very sincere voice. The greatest thing about it is the genuine love and appreciation itself, whatever packages it assumes.

A Second Quarter Reflection

During the second quarter, I gained a deeper understanding of HTML, which forms the backbone of website creation. I learned about the two kinds of tags in HTML: the container tags which require opening and closing tags together and the empty tags which stand alone. The structure of an HTML document had been taught to include tags such as <html>, <head>, and <body>. Beyond that, I could learn about heading tags which create titles, formatting tags to change the style of texts and give horizontal rules for dividing sections, and I also learned the look of a webpage through backgrounds, fonts, and tag attributes. Furthermore, I have learned how to include images, create frames, and prepare tables that organize and present information differently. This ensured that I had the courage to create very simple yet functional web pages. I have also been challenged in learning. Remembering the right syntax for many tags and attributes was a significant problem for me. Sometimes, ...

A Life of Service and Leadership

Elpidio Quirino , the sixth President of the Philippines, is remembered for his dedication to rebuilding the nation after World War II. Born on November 16, 1890, in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Quirino came from humble beginnings. His father was a warden, and his mother was a teacher. Despite financial difficulties, Quirino excelled in his studies. He graduated from the University of the Philippines College of Law in 1915 and passed the bar the same year, marking the start of his journey in public service.

During World War II, Quirino played a key ...

Laws to End Violence Against Women (Thematic Output)

The issue of Violence Against Women (VAW) is a very present matter worldwide, and millions of women are impacted by it, not the least of which are Filipino women. As indicated in the 2022 National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS), almost one in five Filipino women has either been emotionally, physically, or sexually abused by her intimate partner. This sad truth indicates how much more stringent laws and better-supported community systems have to be before women can be free from violence and abuse. In various disguises, VAW manifests from verbal and psychological abuse to that which tortures the body, and up to cases of sexual assault. These do not only affect victims individually but also result in several enumerated effects spreading over families and entire communities. VAW, therefore, calls for collective legal and social attitude changes. One of the key laws that seeks to protect women and children from violence in the...
