  My initial foray into HTML was met with considerable frustration. The unfamiliar syntax, a seemingly endless string of angle brackets and cryptic abbreviations, felt overwhelming.    The sheer volume of tags, each with its own specific function, created a steep learning curve.    Even constructing a simple webpage, a single paragraph within <p> tags, felt like a monumental achievement, highlighting the painstaking process of mastering nested tags, attributes, and the crucial importance of correctly closing each tag.    Early errors, often stemming from missing closing tags, led to countless hours of debugging, a necessary but tedious part of the learning process. The most significant challenge arose from differentiating between presentational and semantic HTML.    Presentational HTML, while visually intuitive, lacks the structural integrity and accessibility of semantic HTML.    Semantic HTML prioritizes the meaning and cont...

  The two laws chosen, RA 8353 (The Anti-Rape Law of 1997)    and RA 10364 (Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2013) , were selected because they directly address two significant forms of violence against women: rape and human trafficking. Here's a breakdown of why these laws were chosen: • RA 8353 (The Anti-Rape Law of 1997): This law is a cornerstone in addressing sexual violence against women. It expands the definition of rape to encompass a wider range of acts, including those involving force, threat, intimidation, or when the victim is unconscious or incapable of consent .    It also establishes stricter penalties for rape and related crimes, aiming to deter perpetrators and ensure justice for victims.    The law's focus on protecting victims and providing support services is crucial in addressing the trauma and long-term consequences of sexual violence. • RA 10364 (Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2013): This law recognizes th...

  Elpidio Quirino: A Life of Service and Unfinished Dreams Elpidio Quirino, the sixth president of the Philippines, remains a figure of both significant achievement and enduring controversy.    His presidency, though short, was marked by crucial decisions shaping the nation's post-war trajectory.    Understanding his legacy requires examining his early life, his career leading up to the presidency, and the complex achievements and shortcomings that define his time in office. Quirino's early life was far from privileged. Born in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, on November 16, 1890, he experienced the realities of poverty and hardship.    This humble beginning instilled in him a deep empathy for the common Filipino, a characteristic that would inform his political ideology and actions.    He received his early education in local schools, demonstrating an aptitude for learning that would later serve him well in his political career.    He pursued h...

  Greater Environment, Better Life for Every Filipino   The environmental changes described above have a profound impact on the lives and living conditions of Filipinos.   The environmental changes occurring in the Philippines, driven by climate change, are having a profound impact on the lives and living conditions of Filipinos. The increased frequency and intensity of typhoons, sea level rise, extreme rainfall, droughts, deforestation, and ocean acidification are all contributing to a complex and interconnected set of challenges that require urgent attention. Addressing these challenges will require a multi-pronged approach that includes mitigation measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adaptation strategies to build resilience to climate impacts, and sustainable development practices that promote environmental conservation and social equity. The Philippines, with its history of resilience and its commitment to sustainable development, has the potential to ov...

Stop the Child Violence, Let Them Be Safe

National Children's Month is celebrated every November to give importance to children around the world. This law was declared to give protection and guidance to every child. This theme compels us to confront the reality that too many children are living in fear, experiencing physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, neglect, and exploitation.  It's not just about raising awareness; it's about taking concrete action, dismantling the systems that perpetuate violence and building a culture of protection. "Kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan" a famous quote by the Philippine's National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.  A bright future is within a child with a great passion and a dream. Children with a compassion strives with everything he/she have interest with. Every child can make a change if they can freely express their views and opinions. Wouldn't that be a factor for a better and safer country? Them expressing and understanding opinions would not be a problem if we are all ...

  Change for Improvement  In this quarter, I discovered that I am good at learning by myself or what they call self learning. Before, I am not that confident in learning lesson by myself only but now that I have practiced it, I realized that I can do it. I also learned a lot about Internet this quarter, after all of the lesson I understand Internet better. I also learned how to make blogs.     The problem that I encountered is when I can’t work on my blog because of some computer problems. I can’t create my account and I can’t create new posts. I can’t also move the pictures. I also struggled in managing my time because I have to do my notes.  I address this challenges by effectively managing my time and productively do all of my schoolworks. In result, I was able to accomplish all of my schoolworks.  Moving on I will manage my time effectively and will accomplish my schoolworks as soon as possible. In that case, I will not struggle dealing with them. ...
