Reflection: Finding the Potential of HTML in ICT 10

  Reflection: Finding the Potential of HTML in ICT 10 Learning HTML (HyperText Markup Language) in ICT 10 has been a transformative experience. At first, it seemed intimidating to work with codes and unfamiliar tags, but as the lessons progressed, I realized how essential and empowering HTML is in creating and shaping the digital world. From crafting a simple webpage to designing structured content, HTML has opened up a realm of creative and practical possibilities. One of the most valuable lessons I learned is that HTML is the basis of web development. It's the skeleton of every website, determining how content is organized and displayed. Knowing basic tags such as <html>, <head>, <body>, <h1>, and <p> taught me the importance of structure in creating a functional webpage. These tags are simple yet powerful tools that allow anyone to bring their ideas to life online. Another lesson learned is attention to detail, as precision is a must with HTML, beca...

Against Violence: Promoting Women's Dignity and Rights

Image
 Against Violence: Promoting Women's Dignity and Rights Violence against women is a deep wound that afflicts not only the individual victim but the entire society. The annual 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women is an important initiative aimed at strengthening public awareness and working together to combat this problem. This included the promulgation of important laws such as the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act (R.A. 9262) which became the pillar of protection for women from abuse. The R.A. 9262, enacted in 2004, provides protection against physical, emotional, and sexual violence within the home or relationship. Under this law, women and children are recognized as victims of violence, which often occurs in intimate relationships. Through the VAWC Act, there was a legal mechanism to file complaints, seek protection, and hold perpetrators of abuse accountable. Commemorating the campaign is an important way to remind everyone of the importance of this la...

Honoring and Promoting Indigenous Rights The celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Month this 2024, coinciding with the 27th anniversary of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA), is an important recognition of the Indigenous Filipinos and their rich culture. Under the theme "Indigenous People and Indigenous Wisdom: Appreciate, Protect, and Honor," the important role of indigenous people in the history, culture, and current society of the Philippines is emphasized. It is not just a celebration, but a call to protect and fight for their rights. The IPRA Law, which was enacted in 1997, was an important step in providing protection and recognizing the rights of indigenous peoples. Through this law, their right to ancestral land, self-governance, traditional knowledge, and own culture was recognized. The annual celebration of Indigenous Peoples Month serves as a reminder that these provisions should not remain in writing, but must be put into practice through effective imp...

In the Middle of the Typhoon: Climate, Environment, and Filipino Resilience

Image
  In the Middle of the Typhoon: Climate, Environment, and Filipino Resilience Climate change is no longer just a matter of science; it is a reality that we feel every day. From severe storms, extreme heat, flash floods, and longer droughts, it is obvious how every aspect of our lives is affected. In the Philippines, an archipelago that is always in the path of typhoons, the impact of climate change is undeniably a major challenge that every Filipino must face. One of the main causes of climate change is the indiscriminate use of fossil fuels. With the world's focus on industrialization, the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas has become widespread, causing high levels of greenhouse gases. Because of this, the world is warming, the ice in the polar regions is melting, and the sea level is rising—a threat to low-lying islands like the Philippines. In addition, deforestation is another cause of climate change. The absence of trees that absorb carbon dioxide exacerbates global warmin...
