Love and Appreciation

 

Valentine's Day is a unique day that honours the love and affection that romantic partners, friends, and family share. It is celebrated on February 14th every year. Its roots are found in the story of Saint Valentine, a Roman priest who secretly married couples in defiance of an emperor's order. As time went on, the festival changed to become a day to show love through presents, nice words, and creative actions. Valentine's Day is widely observed around the world as a celebration of love, gratitude, and the close bonds that bind people together.       

It seems that Valentine's Day is the ideal time to express our love and affection to our family, friends, lovers, and loved ones. It's about being kind to others and appreciating friendship as much as romantic love. During a hectic school day, it serves as a reminder to cherish those who help us.

Depending on the person's personality and preferred language, there are many different ways to show affection. Some people prefer to verbally express their love, such as "I love you," or in meaningful letters, while others prefer to demonstrate their love by actions, such as spending time with their loved ones or giving them items. Little yet heartfelt actions, like a tender embrace, an authentic letter, or a considerate gesture, can also have a significant impact. The ultimate objective of Valentine's Day is to genuinely care for and appreciate the people who mean the most, not to give them pricey presents.

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...

Our Community-Based Research Journey

  Our community-based research experience was both instructive and rewarding. We started by brainstorming various subjects to ensure that our research addressed a real issue in the community. After careful study, we chose a topic that we felt would have a significant impact. Planning was essential, as we allocated tasks among our group members to maximize efficiency. We collaborated with local citizens, organizations, and stakeholders to acquire essential data and insights.

Throughout the process, we had obstacles, but our collaboration and commitment helped us overcome them. As we completed our research, we...

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....
