Winners in Our Own Way

Winners in Our Own Way

Being physically fit is necessary and important to our life. And students need it to be always active at school. As a traditional celebration, every school conducts intramurals every year where students can play and compete with their favorite sports. 

FunBike was also an activity held last intramurals. Based from the name of the activity, competition is not present for we will do it with fun. After the FunBike, a little stretching before the main event. And the Maxconi students led the Zumba.

I somewhat witnessed the making of different booths of some clubs.

As a player also, I would like to promote physical fitness to everyone. It's not just for our physical appearance but also for the different aspects in our lives such as the mental health, social health and more.

Experience the World of Science!

Experience the World of Science!

SCIENCE. "Science is a systematized body of facts, knowledge, and principles that govern our lives and everything." My first definition of science before entering Special Science Class in Ilocos Sur National High School. And every year, many discoveries are published through the help of investigatory projects.

Scientist. My dream when I was a kid. Fascinated by the tricks and experiments by others. Then after graduating in elementary, I continued pursuing my dream: to become a successful neurosurgeon in the future. It might not be a scientist anymore but it was somewhat connected. I even applied to the SSC program of ISNHS, and still continuing my dreams. 

This month is a special month for we celebrate the National Science Month with the theme "Metabolize: Nourishing the Filipino Youth Towards National Well-being". This month will encourage every student to love science for it gives us new knowledge for the future. 

One thing that gives life to this month was the Sci Trix and Exhibits. Science Class students will have the opportunity to show what they've learned in science through experimental tricks.

As a Special Science Class student, I truly envy the world of science. For it gives us knowledge. Not just only knowledge but also happiness and fun.

Happy Schools Throughout the Philippines

Happy Schools Throughout the Philippines

It was May 30 when DepEd in Region 1 launched the “Happy Schools Movement” (HSM). It is said to be that this movement boosts the efficient implementation of the K to 12 in the Ilocos provinces.

This movement aims to promote every school in the region to be a better and enjoyable place to study. As we know that some students may think that school is a place of torture. And they aim to remove that mentality to every student.

It was based on the theme: “Paaralang Masayang Maglingkod, Tagumpay ng Bata’y Itaguyod.”

The movement aims to inculcate in the minds of pupils that school is not just a place for learning but also a place for fun and enjoyment as they enjoy what they are doing.

What I saw inside are some advocacy themes in every subjects or departments: “Talas Filipino: Umusbong sa Wika at Panitikan” (Filipino); “Reading is Power” (English); “Solve for Life” (Mathematics); “Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility” (Disaster Risk Reduction and Management); “The Joy of Exploration and Innovation” (Science); “Kwento Mo, Kwento Ko sa Matatag na Bansa Tutungo” (Araling Panlipunan); “Ako, Ikaw, Siya Tungo sa Makabuluhang Buhay” (Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao); “Pride is the Power of Hands” (Technology and Livelihood Education); “HOPE CA” (MAPEH) and many more.

Each booth gives you information and fun. It gives you HAPPINESS.

Unity

Unity

               If we say solidarity, mutual support within a group. It is a unity or agreement of feeling or action among individuals with a common interest.

About Vigan City. It is now a part of a destination and included in the 7 Wonders of the World. We, the Bigueño, possesses unity and as a result, Vigan City is a very productive place and also the reason why we are now one of the 7 Wonders of the World.

One more reason why visit Vigan was for they have a preserved heritage structures. They have strong pride and care about their culture and products.

The celebration also portrays the life of the Bigueño’s through a parade wherein the participants dramatize the way how the Spaniards treat us while walking through the parade route. Story telling of the elders also happened.

Many more were able to watch and experience during the celebration. But these were the ones I remember.

Language: Bridge Towards Success

Language: Bridge Towards Success 

Sometimes we consider languages as a part of our lives. Of course, this is what we need in order to communicate with others. We continue to learn different languages every day. Sometimes we thought that the languages that we know today is already enough. We thought that we already know about that language but the truth is, there’s still a deeper meaning. But as we learn new, we forget some. Our indigenous languages mostly. And so, in the Philippines, we celebrate “Buwan ng Wika” every August of the year and also as part of our lives. This year’s theme of Buwan ng Wika is “Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa Isang Bansang Filipino”. This aims to help raise awareness about indigenous languages’ role in developing and making the country’s identity. We use the languages as a bridge to unite the many ethnolinguistic groups in the country. Some of the activities reminded the students the true meaning of languages. Poster making, spoken word poetry, essay writing contests and many more. The overall message of the theme is that the Filipino language should always be remembered, use it for the country’s reputation, and embrace the multicultural identity of our nation.
