The Land Beyond Twilight

      The Philippines, an archipelago of over 7,000 islands, is inherently vulnerable to natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire and in the western Pacific Ocean. These natural hazards pose significant threats to the country's infrastructure, economy, and population, often resulting in devastating consequences.     

   
    The geographic spread of the islands also complicates disaster response and recovery efforts, making it challenging to deliver aid and resources to affected areas in a timely manner.

     
    Despite the resilience of the Filipino people, each catastrophe leaves a lasting impact, disrupting lives and livelihoods. The country is currently facing numerous political crises, including the search for Quiboloy and the perceived arrogance of the Vice President, which add to the burdens already carried by the Filipino people. These ongoing crises have sparked significant debate about the promises made by politicians during their campaigns, and the lack of response from leaders during critical moments raises important questions about accountability.
                                                                                                The decision of Vice President Sara Duterte to remain silent on these issues is particularly concerning, as it indicates a lack of leadership and accountability. Election promises should lead to tangible actions, but instead, we see evasion and denial. As citizens, we deserve leaders who are transparent, honest, and accountable, especially during times of turmoil. It is disheartening to see how easily some leaders abandon their commitments, leaving the public disappointed and disillusioned.
                                                                               

    As the youth who are still ineligible to vote, we strive to make our voices heard by the adults around us. Their decisions will not only affect them but also our future, which risks being neglected. Our dreams, ambitions, and passions are on the line, and we are witnessing a rapidly changing world where the choices made today will shape the world we inherit tomorrow. This is why it is essential for the youth to be heard—  
we are the ones who will live with the consequences. Those in power must recognize that their responsibilities extend beyond their own lives to the generations that will follow. The challenges the Philippines faces today require our full attention and prompt action.

  We must continue to speak out, demand accountability, and work towards a brighter future. Change is within our reach, but it requires determination and unity. The sun will rise again in the land of a fresh dawn, but only if we are willing to fight for the future our country deserves.  


     In essence, the Philippines is facing a multitude of challenges, from natural disasters to political crises, which require immediate attention and action. The youth, who will inherit the consequences of today's decisions, must be heard and recognized as stakeholders in the country's future. It is time for us to demand accountability from our leaders, work towards a brighter future, and fight for the country we deserve.

Quarter Three Chronicles

          This quarter, I learned the importance of perseverance and time management. Balancing my responsibilities was challenging, but I managed to stay organized by prioritizing tasks and using a planner. I also discovered the value of collaboration, especially in group projects like our community-based research. While working with others, I improved my communication skills and contributed ideas to achieve our common goals.            However, time management was a challenge, and I struggled with meeting deadlines. To address this, I created a better schedule and worked ahead on tasks. Moving forward, I’ll continue refining my time management skills and focus on stress relief through regular breaks. I’m determined to keep improving and make the next quarter even better.           A key realization this quarter was how much I’ve grown through my experiences, both academically and personally. I had to face ...

Though it has become more popular as an all-romantic couples' day, it encompasses friendship, family, and loving oneself.

His valiancy and kindness made him a lover and admirer of love and devotion. Why We Celebrate Valentine's Day?      Valentine's Day has become a global tradition that truly does not pay attenti...
