  Celebrating Christmas this pandemic may be different from how we use to celebrate it. There are so many protocols to follow and in doing so, it is a bit hard for us to enjoy with our family, friends, and all loved ones. Many things have changed since this Covid-19 came to our life.   However, this must not keep us from honoring the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. This is a very significant for us Christians. There are many ways to enjoy the festive season and to show our love to our family and friends. We just have to be creative. Let us remember the true meaning of Christmas.

  Let Us Unite, Together We Fight It’s nice how the Department of Education  thought of this theme “ New Normal na Walang Iwanan: Karapatan ng Bawat Bata Ating Tutukan”. It covers all the issues and problems regarding children’s rights.  DepEd’s aim is to promote and to assure that we children are free and must have all the rights and protection we need. Due to this pandemic, our lives were greatly affected, especially us children. Many changes occurred in our society and daily life. We never get the chance to enjoy ourselves, because there is a limit due to the rules and protocols that are implemented by the government. Indeed Covid-19 brought a huge challenge to everyone. The new way of learning, the new normal, has brought a huge problem, especially to those who can’t cope up because of lack of resources and financial problems. This might affect their future. It is necessary to consider everyone, we need to unite so that no one will be left behind.  We need to thi...

  It seems that we humans take no notice of how important our environment is. The environment provides many benefit to us. Other people damaging, making chaos, destroying things, etc. which has greatly affected our environment. Imagine those illegal things they did, we lost many resources. We have to unite, in order to bring back the green environment. We must not hurt our Mother Earth. There are many ways and means of protecting our environment; some of these are conserving energy by limiting the usage of electricity, fuel, and such. Reforestation would be a big help, to prevent flood and land erosions, so we must plant more trees. Proper disposal of garbage, we can do this by segregating degradable, biodegradable, and recyclable garbage. Join programs/projects that is connected in environment rehabilitation. By doing these, we would be able to save our environment, for us to enjoy the nature and benefit more from it. If the earth will survive, we will survive. Image Referen...

  Lesson Learned, Ability Gained I didn’t expect that Covid-19 virus has greatly affected our life. Many things have changed because of this pandemic, especially our education system. Well, I think this is the best, for us to keep safe; we do not have a choice though. I am grateful, because in this first quarter, I discovered new things and gained more knowledge in ICT. I have learned more about the internet, computer, and publishing blog. For sure, this is useful for me in the future. This is the second year of learning through online, to be honest; it is very tough for me, I encountered some struggles in this new normal. At first, it was hard for me to adjust, I can’t manage my time well, many distractions and the internet connection is poor. Now that I am used to it, I it is much comfortable and easier. I will develop the knowledge I gained in this first quarter and continue to work hard. I am looking forward for the next quarter, to discover and learn new things that will...

  During this pandemic, we are not allowed to go to school. Therefore, there is a new normal which is online class.  To be honest, face-to-face classes is much easier than online class, because you can understand the lessons well, our mentors can explain and discuss well, and we can interact with our classmates. While in online class, there are many challenges you have to face. Self-studying is hard, some of us students cannot understand the lesson well. Technical issues, sometimes the internet is weak. Time management. Some students who cannot cope up in online classes due to lack of resources such as, internet, laptop and other gadgets needed. In order to overcome this issue, we need to cooperate, so that the face-to-face classes will be back again.

  Unity towards ending pandemic As we face this pandemic cause by COVID-19, we Filipinos are greatly affected by it. People are suffering from this disease and some even died. Some people lost their jobs and resources. Some lost their homes, because they can no longer pay for their rents. A lot of us right now is experiencing poverty, hunger, and suffering. In order to overcome this pandemic, we need to unite and find ways to end this. We should help each other in any way we can, to ease each other’s burden. We must follow the rules and protocols, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 disease. I am looking forward for our country to be normal.
