The Cure

In this world full of unpredictability, preparedness is all we can do. Natural disasters come whenever they want and do not depend on us. They might come tomorrow, today, or even in the next hour, will you be ready to conquer these odds?

The theme of this year’s Natural Disaster Resilience Month is “Kahandaan sa Sakuna’t Peligro Para sa Tunay na Pagbabago” meaning, being prepared to disasters and being aware to the risks that it can bring must be in the mind of the people so that there’ll be a meaningful change. Drills and seminars play the biggest role in the preparation of these disasters. People must be oriented on how to protect themselves when a real disaster comes especially to the ones who are living in vulnerable places. Though these steps are considered important, still some people tends to not take these steps to preparation seriously and most of them end up being the ones who end up with the most damage.

When disasters come, the time to prepare ends. People must not rely with “No disaster happened today so tomorrow and the coming days will be disaster-free too”. We must continuously prepare for those disasters because it is all we can do. People’s life is the one we’re talking about here, without preparedness, injuries, or worst deaths happens.

            Our life is the most precious thing that God gave to us. We should take care of it by doing the right things always. Disasters come and go, but I think the only cure that we have is preparedness.

Eat Well, Live Well

To be healthy means one must know how to eat well, be fit, and practice a healthy lifestyle. A person’s health is one of the most (if not the most important) important part of life. Without it, we won’t be able to enjoy the paradise provided to us by God.

            The foods you eat will leave a major impact to your life. When you’re eating healthy foods then you’ll have a healthy life. But if all you eat are junk foods then diseases are just living closely to you. Eating vegetables and fruits that are reach in Vitamins A-Z is one of the most basic way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Avoid eating too much fatty, salty, and processed foods because it is not healthy. It is not bad eating those kinds of foods but moderation is also a key to a better lifestyle. Do not overeat and also don’t starve yourself.

            Exercising is one way to burn all the bad cholesterols and fats that you’ve eaten. The best time to exercise is early in the morning because you just had a long rest by sleeping and you haven’t undergone to a lot of activities yet. Drinking lots of water is also part of this healthy lifestyle. When you drink the right amount of water that your body needs, then your body will function properly as you expect it to be.

            Eating is such an important factor in a person’s life. The food you eat defines your health status. The healthier the foods you eat; the longer life you’ll get. Let’s all be aware of what are the contents of the foods we’re eating.

Practice Now, Apply Later

Prevention is always better than cure. 

Natural disasters are called natural because it is naturally happening around us without knowing when they’ll come. The only thing that we can do is to prepare so that when that disaster really comes, a person is well-prepared to face it.

Activities like earthquake drills will really help people prevent themselves from being in so much damage. Earthquake is one of the most destructive natural disaster out there but with proper orientation, we’ll do just fine. People must know the essence of this activity because some people seem to not take it seriously. Duck, cover, and hold. It might sound so simple to do but when a real earthquake comes, people always fail to do such.

We can’t preclude an earthquake to happen that’s why we need to learn and practice the proper ways on how to deal with it. People must calm during the earthquake so that they won’t do something silly that will eventually put their lives in danger. They must apply what they learned during the seminars they’ve gone. We all know how nerve-wrecking an earthquake is, but the best way to do after doing the duck, cover, and hold, is to pray to God.

Let us all be mindful with what’s going on in our surroundings. We do not know when an earthquake will strike so let us all adapt the fact that this is world full of mysteries.

Letter to the President

President Rodrigo Duterte

Malacaňang Palace Compound

J. P. Laurel St., San Miguel, Manila

The Philippines

Dear President Duterte:

I am Allen Pico, a student from Ilocos Sur National High School. I am writing this to point some of the things that has done since you became our president.

I really admire your accomplishments and intelligence in solving some problems of our country, but the “War against Drugs” regulation just went beyond the line. A lot of innocent people were included in the list and sadly died without justice. I know that your vision and mission for Philippines is to be a drug-free nation but I hope that this regulation will have a very careful process.

Nevertheless, I appreciate your efforts and perseverance in the past three years of your term. Thank you for fighting against other nations for the sake of Philippines. I hope you’ll continue in implementing projects that could truly help our country.

I look forward for an even better year for Philippines. God bless you.

Respectfully yours,

Allen Pico

A Day to Remember

A day to commemorate the day Filipino’s got their freedom. One day to thank the heroes who made this celebration happen. A celebration for us to appreciate the Filipinos who fought for our country’s sake.

Being independent means that no one is controlling you, you are not depending on someone or something, and you are living freely with no chains tied to you. That is Philippines now thanks to our national heroes.

            It’s been 121 years since our national flag was first waved and raised. Filipinos have been living freely for 121 years after bowing to people who made their lives miserable. Sadly, people nowadays forgot the real meaning of this celebration and only cares about the things they can do because it’s a holiday. They don’t know that without this day, Philippines wouldn’t be called a free country.

            This celebration starts with commending the people who made this celebration possible, the people who we considered as our national heroes today. We must appreciate the bravery they showed towards the people who colonized us. The amount of willingness and guts they used for their goal to be accomplished.

            People especially the youth, must not take this celebration for granted. They must take time to learn when and how all these Independence Day stuff works instead of burying themselves in the internet just to get entertained.

            Independence day plays an important role in our history because it teaches us a lot of things and one of these is that, Filipinos have to be unified when they are being aggravated already.
