Wikang Filipino: Kaluluwa at Puso ng bangsang maka-Pilipino

“Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa hayop at malansang isda.”

-Dr. Jose Rizal

      Filipino ang ating wikang pambansa, ito ang siyang nagsisilbing puso at kaluluwa ng ating bansang sinilangan at ito rin ang pinaka-importanteng pagkakakilanlan ng mga kapwa nating Pilipino. Tayo ay pinagkaka-isa at pinagbubuklod ng ating sariling wika at dahil dito, tayo ay nagkaka-unawaan.

       Ako’y sadyang namamangha at nasisiyahan kapag nakakakita ng mga babasahing ang wikang ginamit ay Filipino at nakaririnig ng mga taong matataas managalog dahil sa panahon ngayon, iilan na lamang ang gumagamit nito. Napakaganda ng ating wika at kultura, mayaman sa mga salita at pagkakahulugan na maaari nating maipagmalaki sa buong mundo. Ang wikang Filipino ay tunay ngang siyang puso at kaluluwa ng Pilipinas sapagkat ito ang nagsisilbing tulay upang mapagbuklod-buklod ang bawat mamamayan na nakatira sa mga hiwa-hiwalay na isla ng ating bansa. Kung walang wika, paano tayo magkakaintindihan?

         Pagyamanin at payabungin ang wikang ating kinagisnan dahil masasalamin dito ang mayamang kultura at pinagmulan ng bawat mamamayang Pilipino. Tangkilikin ang sariling atin at huwag natin itong ikahiya bagkus ay ipakita ito at ipagmalaki saan mang lugar sa daigdig ka mapadpad. Ang Wikang Filipino ay ang kaluluwa at puso ng bansang maka-Pilipino!

My First Journey

Another school year has started and students are excited to gain new information and knowledge that they could use. It was a roller coaster of both fun and mixed emotions during the first quarter. I had enjoyed learning and was very interested on the different topics our teacher prepared for us. 

We had our own time in reporting and it molded us to be more confident on speaking especially in front of a crowd.  I learned a lot about the Internet, how it was made, and how it started. The Internet was indeed a very important invention for it contributes a lot in our society today. Creating a blog is probably the lesson I have enjoyed the most. It brought out my talent on writing and creating layout for my blog. The only problem I had encountered was the hard time memorizing the dates in regards to the History of Internet. In order for me to overcome the challenges that I had faced, I made a way to easily remember the dates and information needed and took it all lightly.      

Moving on, I will apply all the things I had learned into real life situations and to use it for my benefit and of other’s. It was indeed a stressful start for us because we are still adjusting but it was fun and we gained a lot of knowledge from our lessons.

Filipinos are Resilient

It is always better to be prepared and knowledgeable in everything to overcome challenges we might face. Disasters can be human induced or naturally occurring, therefore, we should know the safety precautionary measures and what to do during and after disasters to avoid possible damages. This year’s Disaster Resilience Month Celebration has the theme “Kahandaan sa sakuna’t peligro para sa tunay na pagbabago.”

            Filipinos should be resilient in every life threatening situations that could bring them harm and danger. When things happen beyond our control, we must learn how to cope up and quickly think of a solution for our problem. Being ready is always better than being sorry. It is important to know what steps or actions are you going to do if there are disasters. In your homes, you should always have an emergency survival kit which contains different things or necessities that you needed the most. Saving local emergency hotlines is also a must and we should listen and follow the plan our local government created in case of serious situations. It is also important to remind yourself not to panic so you could think of a better way to survive and save others.

            We are lucky that we are annually raising awareness of what we should do in times of disasters through the Disaster Resilience Month Celebration. Having little knowledge is much better than knowing nothing at all.

Healthy Self, Healthy Life

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Eating healthy foods and living a proper and just lifestyle will prevent us from acquiring different illness or diseases that if severe, may cause death.  For this year’s Nutrition Month Celebration which is held annually has the theme “Kumain ng Wasto at maging aktibo… Push natin ‘to!”

I must say that health is one of the most important thing a person should look out to in his life. Being healthy will give us a positive outlook about living our lives to the fullest. We should always be mindful for every food that we eat because some can bring us harm and might be dangerous for us. Exercising or doing activities is also beneficial to burn the energies that you had consumed to prevent gaining of excess fats which is unhealthy. Our school, Ilocos Sur National High School prepared many activities through the whole duration of July for the celebration of this year’s Nutrition Month. One is the Nutri Jingle competition which is the most exciting activity the assigned club has prepared because all of the clubs will participate in this said event.

Always remember that we only live once so we should take care of ourselves to enjoy the beauty of the world created by our father. Health is our wealth and in order to live healthy, be healthy.

I Am Ready

               The Philippines is along the Pacific Ring of Fire which means that we frequently experience trembling of the ground. Because of this, our government decided to conduct a National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill to all schools that would help us know what to do in times of disasters like this.

            This program of our government is of great use to us, especially because we had been experiencing frequent shaking of the Earth’s crust. Many of us doesn’t know the safety precautionary measures and what to do when it is already happening so it will help us a lot. The program they implemented were for our safety and it would benefit us, but why are there still some who are taking it as a joke and for fun? It is for us so we should take it seriously and participate well.

            Many students or people are unaware of the “Big One” that might happen anytime and it is believed to be a strong and destructive earthquake that will soon hit a big part of Luzon. This, maybe is the reason why we are conducting the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill that would prepare us for the coming of this strong trembling of the ground.

            It is best to be aware and to know what to do in times of calamities to save ourselves and the people around us. We are very lucky that our government is always there to ensure the safety and betterment of the countrymen. Remember, it is always better to be ready and safe than sorry.
