EXPLOIT OUR NATIVE DIALECT FOR A STRONGER INSTRUMENT IN PURSUING THE BRILLIANCE OF OUR COUNTRY

          “Everybody has a right to pronounce foreign names as he chooses” (Winston Churchill). But, is it tolerable to love more the foreign vernaculars than our own? Currently, Filipinos more prefer to use other language for them to be called standardized persons. There’s no such harm in having it, but we must not fail to remember the place where we foremost mould.

          Sa kabila ng pighati’t katagumpayan, may nag-iisang wika na kaakibat ng bawat sangkatauhan at sa pagtahak ng napipintong daan palihis sa kabalukturan. Napaparap ng isang kabataan tulad ko ang atmosperang  lumilibot sa Perlas ng Silanganan na animo’y isang kidlat na kay bilis impluwensyahan ng wikang banyaga ang bawat Pilipino. Katutubong wika na tumitipon sa bawat Pilipino upang magkapit bisig sa pintig ng iisang layunin, ang mapaangat ang bansa. Gaano man karami ang alam na wika ng isang bayan, ang tunay na kaunlaran ay nakasalalay sa tamang paggamit nito, sa kakayahan, tunay na pagkakaisa at disiplina ng lahat ng mga mamamayan nito.

          “The accent of one’s birthplace lingers in the mind and in the heart as it does in one’s speech” (Francois la Rochefoucould). We must not mortify what we have. Let’s ought to be proud that we are Filipinos. Everybody have to clasp one’s hand for stillness, triumphant and brilliant country throughour native language, Wikang Filipino.

Facing the reality...

          As I undergo the journey through the end of the school year, I can’t picture that I’m already 4^th year. Almost four years of being part in ILOCOS SUR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. First quarter had finish and in the other hand I am nearly graduating. But, instead of taking fear on the coming graduation, I will just enjoy what’ present… But let me start the things which put me into a better and more wholesome facts and ideas about the world.  

          What I’d learned during the first quarter? I’d learned random things, like English proficiency, manipulating computers by means of internet, deeper words, angles and many more. I know that this learning’s where not only for high school years but also for a lifetime.

          During my previous days in school, I can’t deny the consequences in my studies. No. 1 is the assignments that made me sleep late during nights but I’m not saying that there’s must not have an assignments. It’s just making me feeble. And another was I don’t have a lot of references to refer on during discussions.

But I know, I can do these. Facing again another grading was to be accepted. Facing the reality that I will nearly graduate. 

FIRST GRADING ENDS

P-NOY's fourth SONA

       
           Last July 22, 2013, our president gave his address about what his administration had done for another year in the service. This includes the programs, accomplishments, referendum on the success of his regime and affirmation of his administration's mandate of good governance. His platforms were very helpful like concerning on education and his "Pantawid Pamilya Program" on us, Filipinos.

          I'm in awe of him 'cause he doesn't have piece to glimpse on, seems that he knows all the details in his address. But his intelligence was not the actually one I admired on, it's about his sweats, tears, headaches, hurts, pains and even giving up his love life. in my side, he is an upright person. He almost gives up his life for our country to have a better, progressive and to a right way of living. I know that still many Filipinos don't have the reliance on him, but those criticisms would put us down.

          The Philippines wouldn't ascend if we engage on revolutions against the government. Instead, let's clutch on one's hand having a goal on success, for our economy to rise up and not to obliterate one's image for own fame.

Nutrition Month

“Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama nating Wakasan”

    Month of July, month of Nutrition. Every year, each school is celebrating nutrition activities to widen students understanding and knowledge about nourishment. As the students gain certain information, we ought to to employ these things for us to stay physically, mentally, spiritually and intellectually fit.

                At Ilocos Sur National High School, we already started some of the activities. The food fest was one; this activity has tenacity to develop the abilities and skills of students to be a good entrepreneur. And many more activities will arise.

                So as long as there are activities like these, I will join those for enjoyment, happy and non-sense moments and also for experience.

Letter to the President

Mr. President Aquino,

               

              It’s my pleasure and honor to have the prospect that a high being like you would read my letter about my concerns and apprehensions.

                 

              I would like to show my gratitude to you first sir for the mechanisms, programs, platforms, attention and love you’ve giving to our republic and to your countrymen, us. I am pleased that you’re doing all of your great best for our economy to be upgraded. Many schools were being currently established for us to have a worthy and standard education.

               

              But sir, many employees don’t have livelihood for lack of job opportunities. Even though there’s companies/programs open who present jobs, still those were not enough. There’s still many of our fellow were vacant in these days. I hope sir that you would have concern about that issue.

              

              Sir, together with your cabinets, co-workers, assistants and we ordinary people will work together in unison for us to build up a well amended and restored nation. May the blessings and provisions speak and be upon you. 

                Thank you a lot sir. God bless.

                                                                                                       Respectfully yours,

                                                                                                       Diana Rose N. Barte
