Diversity is Beauty

-


        
        There are 110 indigenous groups in the Philippines, proving its diversity. The Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) commemoration and Indigenous Peoples Month highlight the said groups, celebrating the preservation and diversity, with the theme “Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalana.” (Valuing, Nurturing, and Honoring Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Knowledge).





        The observance of the National Indigenous Peoples Month 2024 promotes and protects the rights and culture of the Indigenous People as the celebration occurs, keeping objectives in mind. First of all, cultural preservation of the indigenous people is its first objective. It aims to safeguard their land and resources, empower them, and preserve their language and customs by the promotion of traditional practices. Another, it aims to provide better healthcare for Indigenous groups and give justice to the maltreatment they received from the past till this day. The celebration also aims to give respect, with one way being the fostering of community-based tourism.


        These are only one of the few ways that the celebration of Indigenous Peoples Month and the 27th Year Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) Commemoration honor Indigenous people by protecting and promoting their rights and culture. Having diverse cultures is fascinating and safeguarding them is a way to continue the fascinating things of the Philippines.

       They go through numerous struggles, go through sleepless nights, go through heaping workloads, go through psychological drawbacks. However, they go through every predicament with a strong mind, with the same objectives in mind – to mentor, to inspire, to guide, and to develop a person by providing the direction they need. First of all, teachers show how dedicated they are to providing their students with general and academic knowledge; with their love for teaching, they can instill a positive atmosphere wherein students have a comfortable learning zone while being encouraged to explore various learning areas. To have a comfortable learning zone is pivotal for students, for such an environment can and will help them be nurtured with empowering skills and creativity. Teachers are often dubbed as our second parents, but other than that, I confidently consider them as students’ learning buddies in life.      Apart from teachers being learning buddi...

          When two love birds collide , a precious gem is delivered. Being named Airish Yafa Landicho, my name is a combination of both my parents' creativity. I was born in Israel, but my father and I returned to the Philippines when I was 3 months old. I initially lived in Leynes, Talisay Batangas. However, I moved to Ilocos Sur to fulfill my first level of education. As of the present time, I have two siblings that I consider my dearest in life.     First of all, I am a   student who excels in a few subjects.

Everyone does. So, the best thing to do is to think positively. This way, we can be a goo...

Tagged My Way Through

          In the blink of an eye, another quarter passes. Who knew that time could pass by faster than it already does? Throughout the whole quarter, I enjoyed creating blog posts, as well as learning HTML tags.           HTML tags are the first thing I learned in ICT this quarter. It was simple at first, starting with the stand-alone tags <br>(line break), and <hr>(horizontal rule), which don't need an end tag. As time went by, more and more HTML tags were discussed by our teacher, Ma'am Evelyn; it got more and more complicated along the way. For instance, I often made mistakes in the encoding process; may I have been mistyping or forgetting to put some symbols. Moreover, I have two favorite moments, with my reasoning being having the freedom to do whatever I want. First, I liked the color attribute because it allowed me to choose what color I wanted. Second, saving pictures gave me a chance to name the file freely...
