Filipino revolutionaries led by Emilio Aguinaldo declare the Philippines independent after 300 years of Spanish domination during the Spanish-American War. Filipino revolutionaries and American troops had driven the Spanish out by mid-August, but Aguinaldo's aspirations for independence were shattered when the US legally seized the Philippines as part of its peace accord with Spain.  In the second half of the 16th century, the Spanish invaded the Philippines, a huge island archipelago off the coast of Southeast Asia. Filipino priests, who hated Spanish control over the islands' Roman Catholic churches, were the first to rise up against Spanish rule. Intellectuals and the middle class in the Philippines began to demand independence in the late nineteenth century. In Manila, Philippines' capital on the island of Luzon, the Katipunan, a secret revolutionary group, was founded in 1892. The Spanish discovered the Katipunan's plans for uprising in August 1896, pushing the reb...

When it comes to moms, one attitude that families are guilty of more than any other is presumption. They are taken for granted. Being practically blind to the burdens that mothers bear on occasion Last week, as I was thumbing through a row of bizarre greeting cards at a local pharmacy, this was reaffirmed in my thoughts.  The joke in the card repeatedly referenced this clear mindset that pervades a household: "Forget about the housekeeping, Mom." It's your special day. Plus, you can always do double duty on Monday and catch up! Like this one, which featured a distressed mother on the front. Three mismatched socks were draped around her neck, and a big mound of soiled garments lay at her feet. A heated pan was on the burner, scorching the meal. A discolored, chilly coffee pot need fixing. Milk had spilled in the refrigerator door, which was a jar. Naturally, the dishes resembled a makeshift Eiffel Tower reaching out of the sink. "Look, lady, nobody said it was going t...

  As we all know, in our society, women is treated very poorly. Most of the time, women are not given any part or role to play the decision-maker role in many professions. Women, like men, have an important role to play in our community and society. As a citizen who is part of our society, I believe that our town will lift, if everyone’s mentality is equal for all. In today’s era, women are more focused. They are given different roles in our society. They are able to show their talent and ability, so that they can serve our people. Through the roles they play, they are given importance and they are able to express themselves better. Women deserves to be acknowledged by their contribution to the economic sphere and create more opportunities for them. When opportunities are created for women, the most important thing to do is to support them, let us push them to move forward, to reach what they want. We shall encourage women from all the sections of society to make their own deci...

  I can say that I learned a lot this third quarter and I gained knowledge on different topics in ICT. Information about Community based research, what are the things you need to know in order to do the activities correctly. I found these lessons challenging, but thankfully I was able to cope up. There were bumps and problems that I encountered, but I was able to pull through. So, I will strive harder and be more focused as we move on to the next grading period. I know that I can still improve myself and try not to settle for less. It might be hard and challenges will keep coming, these are inevitable, but by working hard I know that I can overcome these problems. I will develop the knowledge I gained in this quarter and continue to work hard. I am looking forward for the next and final quarter, to discover and learn new things that surely will help me to achieve my goal and lead me to the right path.
