Women Empowering Women

        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 pandemic confined us to our houses, increasing the likelihood of women or children being abused by household members. The victim may experience dread and doubt as a result of this. Nonetheless, the pandemic helped most people grow and reflect on themselves, allowing them to contemplate how they could improve to become a better version of themselves. This helped women to become empowered, and they did not let the pandemic derail their goal of achieving gender equality. They have their own ways of empowering other women. Additionally, while some, if not all, of women's rights are now acknowledged, equality remains an issue for everyone. There are still areas that need to be improved before we can fully achieve our goal of global gender equality. Respect and love for one another must prevail, as this is the best way to solve problems of this kind.

         Every person wishes to live in a world devoid of discrimination, where they may live freely without having to worry about small matters. It is essential for our growth as youth to live in a healthy and peaceful environment. Living a positive life will result in better outcomes. Women's skills are limitless, and we must change our mindset in order to make the world a better place. By doing so, individuals will be able to find satisfaction and contentment in their lives.

A Time for Giving

        Our favorite time of year is nearing, and the pandemic is still present, limiting our ability to travel and meet our loved ones from various places. This will be our second time coping with the pandemic during the holiday season. Nonetheless, we Filipino Christians will not be deterred from celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Christmas lights and trees can be seen as early as September. Every Filipino, especially children, can be seen beaming with delight as they await the arrival of Christmas to receive gifts from their family and godparents. This is the time when the family gets together to celebrate and bond while enjoying the feast that has been prepared. However, because the COVID-19 Pandemic has had such a great impact on our daily lives, we are unable to be with our families and friends who come from long distances.         Christmas is one of the most important events for Christians, and it should be valued and res...

In the first months of 2020, our learning was interrupted due to the rapid spread of the Covid-19. Of course, we students were upset by the news. Students had no idea when their schools would reopen. Despite the difficulties caused by the pandemic, the Philippine government did not use this as an excuse to halt the education of students. In the Philippines, education is crucial to a person’s life.         What we are experiencing as students today demonstrates the importance of education. Despite the ongoing pandemic, the Philippine government developed various approaches in order to continue the education of students. Distance learning has been introduced, which includes the use of technology, electronic devices, modules, and so on. Students were new to this approach, and some lacked the necessa...
