EmpowerHER

-

We all live in a very beautiful, ever-changing world, a world of brilliance that warms our hearts and comforts us. Each of us faces and overcomes obstacles that would otherwise upset us. We are all on the same ship, regardless of gender, ethnicity or belief. But amazing people are an exception. The reason for our happiness in this world. These rare people exist for their care and upbringing. These magnificent beings are women and can make a difference.



Women empowerment allows women to make life-determining decisions through the different problems and issues in society. Women have the opportunity to redefine gender roles, which in turn may allow them more freedom to pursue desired goals. Being empowered made them the best of what they can be. During the Covid-19 pandemic, women have shown to the world their best, their assets: their kind, generous hearts. Priceless efforts and sacrifices were made by women during the pandemic, as shown and evidenced on different media platforms. Female health workers and frontlines have fought in battling the virus and the pandemic as a whole. They have patiently faced the long struggle in the treatment and cure of Covid-19 patients. Others have sacrificed their lives while treating and caring for patients. Some have initiated sharing their blessings to our fellowmen who have nothing to eat; community pantries began thru the initiative, efforts, and generosity of women and their groups to help alleviate the hunger and needs of the poor and marginalized citizens during these struggling times.


Women make a change, and change makes women empowered for the good and betterment of our society. Let us be each other’s inspiration regardless of our gender. Women’s empowerment comes in any form and all of us can join in taking action. We should acknowledge and put a spotlight on all the responsibilities women carry upon their shoulders. We should utilize different platforms and shape the views of society. Consider it as a simple responsibility — empower, uplift, and educate people.

Hybrid Learning amid the Pandemic

                  Education provides us knowledge of our society and environment and homes our skills to change them for the better. Education also helps us to develop our own perspective of looking at our lives, prepares us to have our own points of view and form our own opinions on different facets of life. Education today is not the process of gaining information. Only education can train us to interpret different issues and events in our lives.              Since the beginning of 2020, we have been facing a crisis of enormous proportions. The Covid-19 Pandemic has been wreaking havoc across, upsetting our lives and livelihoods. Therefore, all the enrolled students in schools, colleges and universities have been unable to go to their institutions for almost two years due to the restrictions imposed to check the spread of the novel corona virus since the middle of march 2020. We must admit that face-to-face interactions between teachers and students along with vibrant and healthy deb

      For many of us Filipinos, resiliency, is a familiar word that we have encountered multiple time throughout our lives. It’s not a secret that the Filipino people have always prided themselves on their resilience.           The Philippines ranks among the top three countries in the world for population exposure and vulnerability to hazards. In our situation right now, we are facing the stress of Corona Virus Pandemic. We can lighten the load on the negative side of the resilience scale by reducing sources of stress for families and program staff like helping families, meet basic needs like food, shelter, diapers, health care, child care, guiding adults who are out of work through applying for financial assistance, creating and providing children’s activity kits and encouraging parents, program staffs, and co-workers to practice self-care. And with this resilience enables us as individuals, families, communities as nations and as a country, to cope better with the stress of the C

Angel Charmae B. Del Pinado, Pagpandayan Vigan City, Ilocos Sur October 10, 2021 President Rodrigo Roa Duterte Malaca ñang Palace   Dear Mr.President,                        Good day! How are you sir? I hope you are healthy and well.                         I didn't vote yet last 2016 but my family and I rooted you. We heard a lot of things about you from certain persons in the Philippines. We thought that you would be different from the past leaders we had who were traditional politicians. Some people in our country were against you but we wanted to give you a chance. Your plans for the country were promising. We  were expecting that the Philippines would be a better place to live in with you as a leader.                            It must be very difficult, especially at your age, to lead a country of more than Seven Thousand Islands and more than a hundred million people. And still, you did your best to make our country will be the best. We believed in you. We still do, and we w
