Elpidio Quirino's legacy

 


Elpidio Quirino’s early life and career were marked by perseverance, hard work, and a dedication to public service. Born on November 16, 1890, in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, he came from a family that valued education despite their modest means. Quirino attended the University of the Philippines, where he earned his law degree in 1915. During his time in university, he faced financial difficulties but managed to support his studies through scholarships and part-time work.


After passing the bar exam in 1916, Quirino began practicing law and gained recognition for his legal expertise. His entry into public service came in 1919 when he was appointed to the Philippine Commission. He later served as a member of the House of Representatives in 1925, representing his home province of Ilocos Sur. 


Quirino’s skills and reputation in government grew over time, and in 1934, he was selected as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention that drafted the 1935 Constitution of the Philippines. His contributions to the nation’s legal framework were highly regarded. Quirino’s rise continued when he was appointed Secretary of the Interior in 1939, and later, as Secretary of Finance in 1941, where he worked on stabilizing the nation’s finances in the face of looming war.


His dedication to public service and his deep understanding of governance and law laid the foundation for his future role as the President of the Philippines, where he would later lead the nation through the challenges of post-war reconstruction.

Preventing Sexual Violence

  Rape is a serious crime involving nonconsensual sexual intercourse that is frequently accompanied by force or manipulation. It is a sort of sexual violence that causes severe bodily and emotional trauma to the victim. While the legal definition of rape varies by jurisdiction, the basic element stays consistent. To address this issue, the government enacted the Anti-Rape Law of 1997 (RA). According to the law, anyone can become a victim of rape, regardless of whether they are a prostitute, are not virgins, or have an active sexual life. RA 8353 increased the severity of the punishment for offenders and broadened the definition of adultery to include previously undefined behaviors. Despite these advancements, problems persisted, such as difficulties obtaining proof, societal biases that impacted victims' trustworthiness, and a general lack of comprehensive support systems for survivors. Despite the law's goal of addressing the systemic issues related to rape, its efficacy has b...

Environment Month

During Environmental Month, people should encourage environmentally friendly practices and spread knowledge of the urgent issues harming the environment. We have a unique opportunity as students to improve the state of the environment by starting with our personal acts and spreading or sharing what we have done to better our communities. But it's crucial to remember that we have an ongoing obligation to safeguard the environment, not only during Environmental Awareness Month.   Planting is giving nutrients to animals, absorbing carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere, and controlling the water cycle. Plants also enhance the environment in many other ways.  A clean environment is the promotion of better health and the reduction of the risk of diseases.   By prioritizing cleanliness, we can create a healthier and safer environment for ourselves and future generations. Recycling plastic bottles is one example of waste material into new materials or objects....

Reflection on the Second Quarter: HTML Tags

Image
Throughout the second quarter, I have gained valuable knowledge and insights into the world of HTML and web development. One of the key discoveries I made was how HTML tags are the building blocks of web pages. By understanding how to use different tags like <sub>, <frameset>, <header>, <p> and many others, I learned how to structure content logically and effectively on a webpage. I realized that each tag has a specific purpose, and using the right tag in the right context makes a significant difference in how a webpage is displayed and functions. Additionally, I discovered the role of HTML attributes such as b, sup, and href, which allow for more precise control over the appearance and behavior of the page, enabling me to create more dynamic and interactive websites. However, the journey wasn’t without its challenges. One of the biggest hurdles I encountered was understanding the proper syntax and usage of HTML tags. I struggled at times with ensuring that all ...
