On the eve of March 12, 2020, President Duterte announced on the national television that the country will be placed on lockdown for at least 30 days to contain the spread of novel coronavirus (and later on named by the World Health Organization as COVID-19). From that moment the word seemed to stop Work in the government and private sector stopped, including classes of all schools around the country if not the whole world.   The Philippine government particularly the Department of Education came up with the idea that education must continue. Though face to face classes were not possible. We are still lucky that technology has advanced that we can conduct classes through online by means of the internet. Thru this means the teachers can still impart their knowledge to their students.  Modules are still being used but it is less effective because sometimes the parents are the ones answering the said modules. Let us also take note that during the pandemic all members of the family are at

My beloved country the Philippines, how can you be more resilient? This is what all leaders of every country aim for. But how? In my humble opinion as a junior high student, a country to be more resilient must focus on the followings: Infrastructures and projects; Public Health and Safety; Peace and Order; And others like Religion; Corruption and good relationship with other countries.   INFRASTRUCTURE & PROJECTS           A resilient government or country like the Philippines must have well planned infrastructures and projects.

Your term is about to end. I just want to express my views and opinions about your promises when you are still campaigning in order to earn our votes. Your war on drugs, fight against corruption, fight against illegal gambling and your “Build, Build, Build” project are your main platform of governance.   WAR ON DRUGS During your term, “Big-Fishes” are being identified as drug lords. Police generals, politicians and other big-time drug lords were identified and some were even killed during police raid operations. Many users and pushers surrendered. The values of drugs confiscated during drug raids were at an all-time high, even amounting to billions of pesos. Mr. President, I would like to commend you for a job well done. But I just have one concern, please spare the lives of the minor victims because they can still be reformed and lead successful lives. FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission was established under your term. Many corrupt government officials we

  My name is Gwyneth Selwyn Timbreza. I am a Grade 10 student at Ilocos Sur National Highschool. My birthday is November 08, 2005 and I was born and raised at Tamag, Vigan City. My parents are Mr. Lawrence Glenn Timbreza and Mrs. Joanne Timbreza. I have two older brothers named Nick and Kent, and I am going to tell you something about myself… I was a shy person back in kindergarten to elementary.  The only person I spoke to was my cousin, I had trouble socializing at the time .  I never wanted to participate in class activities because I was afraid of making mistakes. I have many goals  in life and I knew that I would never achieve them If I am not very social. I tried gaining confidence by trying to start a conversation with a person from my class. Each day I kept practicing by talking to my classmates.  Eventually, I started to feel comfortable with the people around me. I have a group of friends; they were very kind and even volunteered to help me overcome my  timidity. They
