In the last grading of arc school year, I realize so many things. Just like the things that I learned or discovered about myself the problems or challenges that encountered and how did I managed to overcome these problems or challenges. This school year is a new and unknown for me because of the pandemic and I will not forget the memories, lessons and experiences that I got from this school year.

Moving on, I will always look forward in the future. I am willing to still learn about the thing that I don't know. I w

Environmental damage has been one of the major challenges faced by the planet since three decades; but now, when the world is battling COVID-19 crisis, the need to expedite the restoration movement has been the most urgent. With the ecosystem loss, the world is getting increasingly deprived of carbon sinks, like forests and peatlands. And during a time like this, we can’t afford to let that happen. Environmental awareness is to understand the fragility of our environment and the importance of its protection. Promoting environmental awareness is an easy way to become an environmental steward and participate in creating a brighter future for our children.  The COVID-19 emergence has unleashed some drastic consequences and revealed how disastrous the loss of the ecosystem can be.

Mother’s Day in the Philippines is celebrated by most people on the second Sunday of May, despite a 1998 presidential decree to move it and Father’s Day to the first Monday of December. It is not an official public holiday. Mother’s Day is kind of a big day here in the Philippines. This is largely due to the large place of mothers in Filipino culture. Mum is called the “ilaw ng tahanan”, which means “the light of the home” due to the love, cheer, and brightness she brings to the family.  Mother’s day is extraordinarily revered and therefore it is celebrated throughout the country with utmost zeal.

Binatbatan Festival is not only a festival but a culture that we, Bigueños, treasure. It is
