I'm still perplexed about how quickly time passes. Here I am again writing a reflection on what I learned this quarter.  Despite how much I stated that time flew by, I thought the third quarter was fantastic. Mentally, I can gladly state that I am doing much better than the previous quarter. Nonetheless, this quarter taught me a lot. I've learned a lot about important events in our community, on how they were celebrated and how people are looking for these events every year. I have also learned about our history which is very helpful. This is my first time working on a community-based project; at first, I had a lot of complaints at first, but I was able to complete it in the end. I'm having difficulty understanding the subject because I'm terrible at writing essays and conducting research. Because I had so many essays to write, I experienced a lot of troubles or difficulties this quarter.  The emotions I've had in the third quarter are unlike anything I've exper...

  Patriarchy was responsible for shaping women's roles in society during the 18th and 19th centuries. Men have been seen as superior throughout history, while women have been regarded as inferior. Women are viewed as the sole breadwinners in households, and they are not afforded the same rights as men. Furthermore, stereotyping has had a negative impact on women. On television, women have been shown as inferior to men. The repercussions of a society attitude of women are depicted in television depictions of women. An ideal woman, in the eyes of a guy, is a homemaker who handles all of the domestic chores herself. However, research has demonstrated that gender roles have gradually advanced over time. From the moment they are born until they die, women play a number of important functions in our society. Despite everything that women have done in the past and continue to do today, we are still viewed as weak since males are still viewed as the 'stronger' gender in society. In...

 Vaccines save millions of lives every month. COVID-19 has infected over a million people around the world. As the number of patients infected with COVID-19 continues to rise across the country and around the world, scientists are working on a vaccine to help cure the illness and prevent it from spreading further – an important practice for a disease like COVID-19. Overall, vaccines are efficient at limiting disease spread by providing immunity. Vaccines and childhood immunization are crucial for averting outbreaks and pandemics and protecting yourself, your children, and society as a whole from hazardous diseases. Vaccines protect against diseases that have the potential to become pandemics, and by vaccinating regularly, diseases can be completely eradicated. Everyone is at risk for contracting COVID-19, and symptoms can be severe at any age. Especially considering the more contagious omicron variant, children are at risk for contracting and spreading the virus. The CDC now recomm...

  Araw ng Kagitingan, also known as the Day of Valor, marks the greatness of Filipino fighters during World War II. It is marked on or around April 9 in the Philippines each year.  The Day of Valor is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and most businesses are closed.  In 2022, it falls on a Saturday, and some businesses may choose to follow Saturday opening hours. Araw ng Kagitingan is a non-working holiday that is part of a long weekend in the Philippines. World War II veterans parade in different cities in the Philippines on this day. There are small parades in different localities in the Philippines but the Araw ng Kagitingan’s main highlight occurs when the country’s president gives a speech at the Mt Samat shrine, in the Bataan province, to commemorate the heroism of the Filipinos and American troops during the World War II.  Araw ng Kagitingan is a regular holiday in the Philippines and occurs on or around April 9. Many st...

Lent is the period of 40 days which comes before   Easter   in the Christian calendar. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. Lent is marked by fasting, both from food and festivities. Whereas Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus after his death on the cross, Lent recalls the events leading up to and including Jesus' crucifixion by Rome. This is believed to have taken place in Roman occupied Jerusalem The Christian churches that observe Lent in the 21st century (and not all do significantly) use it as a time for prayer and penance. Only a small number of people today fast for the whole of Lent, although some maintain the practice on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. It is more common these days for believers to surrender a particular vice such as favourite foods or smoking. Whateve...

  Fiestas and celebrations are returning as the Philippines begins to recover from the impacts of the Covid-19 outbreak, providing Filipinos with a much-needed dose of levity. Kannawidan was officially begun by the province administration of Ilocos Sur in early February 2022, with a slew of activities aimed at celebrating life and sharing joy. To show off and share their cultural treasures with the rest of the world, the villages founded the "Kannadiwan Festival." It honors Ilocos Sur's rich culture and customs, as well as the province's separation from Ilocos Norte. The name "kanawidan" is derived from the Ilocano word "tawid," which means "legacy" or "inheritance," and it is significant because it is the Ilocanos' way of thanking the Almighty for the city's rich heritage, which includes deep family ties among the Ilocanos, as well as for the abundant bounties. This event exemplifies the townfolk's strong faith. Kan...
