  The infectious Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which causes respiratory illness includes flu-like symptoms such as cough, fever, and in more severe cases, breathing difficulties. COVID-19 is mainly spread through contact with an infected person who sneezes or coughs. It can be acquired when a person touches their eyes, nose, or mouth after touching objects or surfaces that have the virus on it . Starting December 2019, countries imposed travel bans and asked individuals who have possibly been exposed to the contagion to isolate themselves in a dedicated quarantine facility or at home  at an unprecedented scale. The Philippines reported its first case of COVID-19 on January 30, 2020. Since then, the number of reported cases exponentially increased by the day . As of December 12, 2020, 447,039 infected cases were reported throughout the country. Of the total number of cases, 409,329 have recovered, and 8,709 have died .  As a response to the growing threat of the pandemic...

  We must admit that face-to-face interactions between teachers and students along with vibrant and healthy debates amongst peers within the classroom and outside are integral to quality teaching.  Education provides us knowledge of our society and environment and hones 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. Any willing person can have access to immense data and information nowadays through different websites and e-based platforms. But, can information be transformed into knowledge without education? 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 the globe upsetting ...

  There are a surprising amount of people, businesses, and communities that would like to do more to conserve and protect our natural resources, but they don’t know where to begin with becoming more environmentally friendly. Understanding what makes each of these aspects of our world part of the process of changing and conserving our resources, and learning how to get started creating a difference is the first thing you have to learn. It’s just taking small steps towards looking after the mother earth to make this planet a better place for our communities and generations to come. A good way would be to start with conserving water, driving less and walking more, consuming less energy, buying recycled products, eating locally grown vegetables, joining environmental groups to combat  air pollution, creating less waste, planting more trees, and many more. Y ou can’t just point towards one business or practice and blame them for all of our  environmental woes ;...

Dear Mr. President,   How are you, Sir? or should I say Mr. President. I hope you are well and doing good. By the way, congratulations on your recent election to the presidency of the Philippines. We heard so many good things about you. I thought that you would be a great leader that has integrity, honesty, humility and clear focus. I also thought that you would be different from the past leaders. I were expecting that our country, the Philippines would be a better place to live in with you as its leader. I had high hopes that you will be true to the promises that you uttered when you were still running for presidency. As years passed, you had decisions that were good; you had actions that had fatal consequences. You are the quality of being outstanding and extremely a good leader. I pray for our grace to wake up each day and I also declare perfect health upon you. Sincerely, Jomar Rebula Grade 10- Marconi https://tinyurl.com/tvpcww49

The things that I experienced made me scared and I wanted to hide, but I didn’t. However, I always find myself asking “Who am I?” I am Jomar Rodiris Rebula. I’m from Pudoc, San Vicente Ilocos Sur.

I’m not comfortable with settling, and I’m always looking for an opportunity to do better and achieve greatness. I went...
