         A quarter is again coming to an end, and thankfully, I made it through junior high. I am excited for the new experiences that await me as I enter senior high. The lessons I've received and the experiences I've had will always hold a special place in my heart. I am grateful to the people who were a part of my junior high learning journey. Someday, I'll show them that what I've learned for the past years has been put to good use.   This quarter, I learned about Microsoft FrontPage. Microsoft FrontPage is a discontinued What You See Is What You Get HTML editor and website administration tool for the Microsoft Windows operating system. From 1997 to 2003, it was marketed as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Microsoft FrontPage has since been replaced by Microsoft Expression Web and SharePoint Designer, which were released in December 2006 alongside Microsoft Office 2007. However, these two products were also discontinued in favor of a web-based...

          Both mothers and fathers work together to raise their children with love and support. A father ensures a good future for his family by working hard to meet their basic needs. Every parent prioritizes their children over themselves, and a father would go to any length to protect and defend his family. Their only weakness is seeing their loved ones suffer, and I consider myself very lucky to have him as my father. One who is brave and strong and goes above and beyond to give the best for the family.           Father's Day is a day when we can express our appreciation for all of their sacrifices and hard work for the family by celebrating with them. Sonora Smart Dodd, who was born in Arkansas and whose father, a Civil War veteran, raised her and her five siblings after their mother died in childbirth, founded Father's Day at the YMCA in Spokane, Washington in 1910. She is reported to have gotten the idea in 1909 while li...

        We all want to live in a peaceful country where we are able to do things with freedom and fight for our rights. As a citizen, I only wish the best for my nation and its people. As we observe changes in our country and the whole world, let us not be affected by this and continue to do what is best. It is good to get along well with various people and countries in order to form social connections. This connection will benefit both sides, and it is crucial to promote peace and spread love rather than hate.         Each country has its own unique story. For over 300 years, the Philippines was a Spanish colony, and is named after King Philip II of Spain. The Fourth of July used to be considered a significant national holiday in the Philippines because it was Philippine Independence Day in 1946. The road to July 4, 1946, was long and perilous. On Independence Day, national heroes' sacrifices are remembered, and the country's ...

          As a daughter, I know how much effort mothers put in to ensure that their children have a comfortable life and feel appreciated. They have made many sacrifices in order to devote more time and attention to their children. Mothers have countless responsibilities and things to do in a day. She can do everything alone, from cooking and preparing lunch for her children to doing laundry and cleaning the house. Raising a child is never easy, and there are several factors to consider before deciding to have a child because the lives of a couple that do not have children differ greatly from those who do. However, the majority of people still opt to change their lives and experience motherhood.           We must never forget to thank our mothers for raising us well and providing us with the best things in life. Mother's Day, which is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May, is a perfect opportunity to express ou...

         We are once again given the opportunity to celebrate Binatbatan Festival despite the ongoing pandemic, and the citizens of Vigan City are glad to be able to experience the joy of the said festival in the new normal. Although there are evident changes brought by the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we carry on celebrating every festival in town. We make sure not to miss it and express our appreciation in our own unique ways, as we Filipinos are genuinely proud of our culture and traditions. Through these festivals, we can introduce to tourists the things that make Vigan City special. For this reason, an increasing number of tourists want to return to our town, bringing friends and family along to share the fun and excitement.            The Viva Vigan Festival of Arts takes place during the first week of May. The Save Vigan Ancestral Homes Association, Inc. established it in 1993 to raise awareness of the historic t...

          Women have always faced various forms of discrimination and harassment from people based on their sex and gender. Gender inequality has long been a global issue. Women are constantly stereotyped as weak and insignificant. Because of gender stereotypes, girls and women are often undervalued and have lower social status. They do not recognize women's power, potential, or the impact they can have on society. Thankfully, there are policies and programs in place to protect the rights of all women. Furthermore, they have gained the courage and confidence to fight for what is right in order to provide a better future for following generations.                Empowered women try to convince other women to come out of their shells and make a difference, to prove that women's abilities are not limited and that they, too, can change the world. When a woman is empowered, she knows how to set things right. The pan...
