Fight for What is Right

-

        

        There is a large number of laws implemented in the Philippines to further improve the country. The objective of Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children (VAWC) Act of 2004, or Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9262 is to protect women and children against any form of violence. The campaign occurs from November 25 to December 12. Many VAW-related laws are implemented.


        One related law is RA 8353 (The Anti-Rape Law of 1997) and RA 7877 (Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995). This law aims to safeguard women from any form of sexual harassment. The person punished may be a man or a woman, as long as they committed sexual assault. When sexual harassment involves a deadly weapon, the penalty must be death.


      
         Another related law is Republic Act No. 7877 – Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995. Aims to expand the scope of the anti-sexual harassment act. In this act, a person will be held liable if they directly committed an act of sexual harassment. A person will also be held liable if they induce another person to commit an act of sexual harassment. This law focuses on work and training related to sexual harassment, like educational institutions and training environments

        With these being said, the Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9262 and the 18-day Campaign encourage individuals, especially women to report cases of abuse. Women will be more empowered in this way, as they feel a sense of security. This is the pathway to a safer Philippines.

Strongest People With the Kindest Hearts

       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. Despite having weaknesses, I focus on the positives and strengths. I consider my smartness as my big strength. With this, I managed to top classes. Every year, I am high honors, thanks to the Lord and those people who support and love me.   In conclusion, I do not need to be  about my weaknesses. I have my strengths and weaknesses. 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...
