My Journey in HTML in Quarter 2

    This quarter, I gained an understanding of HTML and its fundamental role in web development. I discovered how to structure web pages using essential tags like headings, paragraphs, how to emphasize a text, and hyperlinks. Learning about these tags highlighted their importance for better web designs. Experimenting with simple projects, such as creating the exercise (exer) activities, gave me hands-on experience and boosted my understanding in using HTML tags. These discoveries made me learn much more about computers.

   

     Despite these achievements, I encountered several challenges along the way. One of the most significant obstacles
is that i sometimes forget those tags or its other element like the angles that causes errors. Trying it again and again and still errors, proved that doing this is time-consuming and required patience. These challenges pushed me to focus on precision and problem-solving skills.  

   

    

     To overcome these obstacles, I made sure that all my works are accurate and correct. Regular practice and reviewing my code were essential to making sure that i used the tags correctly. Peer discussions and help also played a crucial role in improving my work. Moving forward, I aim to advance my skills by learning HTML tags, which will help me create visually appealing web pages or works in the future.

Ending Violence Against Women: A Celebration for National Women’s Month 2024!

    

Violence in Women is a persistent and serious issue in the Philippines, affecting many women and children. The National Women’s Month and the 18-Day Campaign to Ending Violence against Women, celebrated from November 25 to December 12, it is aimed to raise awareness and promote action against all forms of gender-based violence. Central to this campaign is Republic Act  No. 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004, which seeks to protect women and children from abuse and ensure their rights are strengthened. Through various advocacy efforts, this campaign emphasizes the importance of education, empowerment, and protection for vulnerable people.  

  

 RA 9262 defines and addresses different forms of abuse, including physical, sexual, psychological, and economic violence against women and their children. This law provides women with legal remedies such as protection orders, legal assistance, and access to shelters. RA 9262 is significant because it empowers women to seek justice and break free from abusive environments. Moreover, the law  authority government agencies provide support services, such as livelihood programs, to help survivors rebuild and start their lives again. By understanding their rights under this law, women can better protect themselves and their children.  

   

    

 RA 11313, also known as the Safe Spaces Act, was enacted in 2019 to address sexual harassment and violence in public spaces, workplaces, schools, and online platforms. This law explains the doings of harassment, recognizing that it can occur in various settings and forms, including catcalling, stalking, and online harassment. RA 11313 promotes or shows a culture of respect and  responsibility by holding individuals responsible for creating a safe and protected environment rather than making it a harm. The law also emphasizes preventive measures such as education and awareness campaigns, thus having the same opportunity in both genders.

  

      By highlighting these laws, this Campaign to Ending against Women encourages everyone to participate and create a safer, more protected society. Communities and individuals are called upon to advocate and campaign for women's rights to support survivors and promote gender equality. As one, we can work towards a future where women and children live free from violence and fear.  People deserves a harmless world to live in, no one deserves to be in an environment where they are in pain and no freedom to speak. As one, let us build a safe and secure environment not just for women but to all of us.

A Legacy of Leadership and National Service

    Elpidio Quirino, the sixth President of the Philippines, is remembered for his dedication to rebuilding the nation after World War II and fostering economic growth. Born on November 16, 1890, in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Quirino came from humble beginnings. Despite financial hardships, he excelled in his studies and earned a law degree from the University of the Philippines in 1915. His determination created the way for a career in public service, starting as a teacher and later as a lawmaker.  

     Quirino’s political career began in 1919 when he was elected as a member of the Philippine House of Representatives. He later served as a senator and became part of the independence mission that negotiated the Tydings-McDuffie Act, which set the stage for Philippine independence. In 1946, Quirino became vice president under President Manuel Roxas and eventually assumed the presidency after Roxas's unfortunate death in 1948. As president, Quirino prioritized national reconstruction, focusing on economic recovery, social welfare, and infrastructure development. His administration implemented programs to improve housing, education, and public health.  

    
    One of Quirino’s most greate achievements was the establishment of the Central Bank of the Philippines, which stabilized the economy and laid the foundation for financial independence. He also promoted political relations and increased the country’s ties with other nations. Despite facing political challenges and criticism, his contributions to strengthen and improve the nation remain significant. His legacy leads to resilience, leadership, and a commitment to public service.

Celebrating Indigenous Peoples Month 2024: Valuing, Nurturing, and Honoring Indigenous Knowledge

    The month of October marks the observance of Indigenous Peoples Month, highlighting the rich heritage, knowledge, and rights of indigenous communities across the Philippines. This year, as we celebrate the 27th anniversary of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA), it underscores the importance of protecting and promoting indigenous culture, traditions, and rights. IPRA, has been instrumental in valuing the rights of indigenous groups to their ancestral domains and ensuring their active participation in national development.  

    This event raises awareness of the contributions of indigenous peoples and also strengthens the protection of their rights. Indigenous people do events like cultural festivals to be a voice of their struggle. This activity serves as a platform or guide for sharing indigenous knowledge systems, which are vital for environmental conservation, sustainable development, and cultural preservation. 

Furthermore, this emphasizes the need for continuous government support and policy implementation to support indigenous people. Protecting ancestral locations, preserving indigenous languages, and ensuring access to education and healthcare are important aspects of empowering and building resilience in indigenous communities. This celebration encourages all Filipinos to take an active role in valuing and protecting indigenous heritage and promoting their rights for generations to come.
