Empowering Women


                    Women’s Month is a time to recognize the strength, resilience, and achievements of women in different fields. It is an opportunity to celebrate their contributions in history, culture, and society. Women have played important roles in shaping the world, from fighting for rights and freedoms to leading industries and innovations. This month serves as a reminder of the importance of gender equality and the ongoing efforts to create a equal society for all.



                    Despite the progress made over the years, women continue to face challenges such as discrimination, gender pay gaps, and limited opportunities. Many women still struggle for equal treatment in education, employment, and leadership positions. Women’s Month highlights these issues and encourages discussions and actions to address them. Empowering women means providing them with equal opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed without being bias.



                    Celebrating Women’s Month is more than just recognizing achievements, it is about encouraging positive change. Everyone, regardless of gender, can contribute to the movement by supporting women, advocating for their rights, and treating them with the respect they deserve. A society that values gender equality is a society that benefits everyone. By working together, we can create a future where women are truly free to achieve their full potential.


                    The theme "WE for Gender Equality and an Inclusive Society" highlights the need for fairness and respect for all. Gender equality is everyone's responsibility, not just a concern for women. By breaking down barriers and fighting discrimination, we create a society where everyone has equal opportunities in education, work, and life. Inclusion means valuing diversity and ensuring that all voices are heard. Each of us can contribute by supporting fairness, speaking up against injustice, and treating others with respect. Together, we can turn equality into reality.

                                      First of all, let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Jayzen Aldridge Eugenio. I live in Paratong, Santa Catalina, Ilocos Sur, but I originally come from Cavite. I'm 15 years old and currently a Grade 10 SSC student at Ilocos Sur National High School. I'm a pretty shy person, but I love being active, especially in sports. Even though I'm quiet and don’t talk much, I really enjoy staying fit and playing games. It can be hard for me to express my feelings, so people might not always know what’s on my mind.             Because I'm quiet, it can be difficult for others to understand me, but I think being shy has its positives. It’s helped me become a good listener and a caring friend. Even though I’m not outgoing, I see myself in a positive way. Playing sports has taught me discipline and perseverance, and it's helped...

           Taking care of the environment starts with getting everyone in the community involved. We can do this by educating people about simple ways to help, like recycling, saving water, and using less energy. By learning about the effects of pollution and waste, people are more likely to make better choices that help the planet.                         Another way to engage the community is by organizing group activities, like cleaning up parks or beaches. These events bring people together to make a positive difference, while also encouraging them to take care of their surroundings. It also helps start conversations about how to keep the community clean and green.              Lastly, we can support eco-friendly practices and work with local leaders to create policies that protect the environment. Starting a community garden or sharing tips on social med...

The Second Chapter

         In the second quarter, I was introduced to HTML coding, which is the language used for development of websites. To create a webpage, I learn how to use the HTML contructs  <html>, <head>, <body> among others. I also underrstood how to place images, links and text which increased my understanding of the creation and presentation of websites.           One problem I encountered was trying to figure out how some tags correlate to each other when the webpage was not how I imagined it to be. I have to say it was annoying at times, but I accepted that it was just an easier way of putting all of it on the wall and connecting the dots that will go there.           In order to do this, I went through my notes, watched video tutorials, and ask assistance from my teacher and classmates.  As I practiced, I grew more assured in error corrections and in the step by step construction of page...
