Foundation of the Future


There are more than 5000 different indigenous people around the world comprised 476 million people – around 6.2% of the global population. They are spread across more than 90 countries in every region and speak more than 4,000 languages. Although their customs and cultures may differ, Indigenous Peoples experience the same harsh realities the world over. Their human rights are routinely violated by state authorities, and they face high levels of marginalization and discrimination. They face eviction from the ancestral lands they have inhabited for generations, as well as restricted access to education, health care and housing. Indigenous human rights defenders are intimidated, attacked, and sometimes even killed, often with the support of the state. They are more likely to live in extreme poverty and suffer higher rates of landlessness, malnutrition, and internal displacement than other groups. They often rank highest for prison inmates, illiteracy, and unemployment, while their life expectancy is up to 20 years lower compared to non-Indigenous people.  

           


The observance of the National Indigenous People Month can help promote and protect the rights and culture of the indigenous people by raising public awareness about the importance of indigenous people and their traditional knowledge which include cultural preservation; right to control intellectual property and other material items related to their heritage; provide valuable insights and solutions for mitigating the impacts of climate change; can promote social justice and empower Indigenous communities; rights to the natural resources on their traditional lands, and these rights should be respected. Indigenous peoples are self-governing entities, and their independence should be maintained. Here are some ways to respect Indigenous peoples and their traditional knowledge to protect their rights to self-determination, consultation, and participation in decisions that affect them: Integrate Indigenous knowledge into policy frameworks; collaborating with Indigenous communities is essential for effective environmental conservation efforts; support education and capacity building. This can help ensure that Indigenous knowledge is acknowledged and respected globally; preserve language and customs.

                       


Indigenous peoples have rich and ancient cultures and view their social, economic, environmental, and spiritual systems as interdependent. They make valuable contributions to the world’s heritage thanks to their traditional knowledge and their understanding of ecosystem management. But indigenous peoples are also among the world’s most vulnerable, marginalized, and disadvantaged groups. We must ensure that their voices are heard, their rights respected, and their well-being improved.

Cleanliness matters

Image
  Segregating waste is one way of managing waste as biodegradable and non biodegradable materials have different process of disposal. If waste is not separated properly, it all gets mixed up in landfills. Waste segregation basically means keeping wet and dry wastes separately so that dry can be recycled and wet waste can be composted.   Picking up random types of waste and putting it to a trashcan can contribute to the cleanliness of the environment. Although it is a small act but it has a very big impact. Not only that, it can help you feel good because clean environment is pleasing to the eyes.   Cleaning up all types of waste in the environment will heavily contribute to the wellness and cleanliness of the community. It also helps for the reduction of pollutants. Not only that, it can also improve human and all living creatures well-being.

Ready to face new challenges

Image
  The learning that I have gained in the whole of 2nd quarter are many. This includes the difference of stand alone tags and container tags. I also learned the different kinds of container tags and the functions of these tags. Most of all I also improve my typing abilities. The problems and challenges I encounter the most is sometimes I get my tags wrong. The output of my activity sometimes doesn’t show up. I address this issue by changing my computer and asking help from my seat mate or from my teacher Moving on I will keep on learning and mastering these tags since I will use this in the future. It improves my ability to type and my ability to use the right tags to use. Im also ready for new challenges that I will soon face and handle in the next quarter.

End Violence Now

Image
  Since the onset of the 18-day Campaign to end Violence Against Women (VAW) in the Philippines in 2008, other VAW-related laws have also been signed and amended. Among others are the anti-rape law and safe space act. RA 8353(The Anti-Rape Law of 1997)    The law was passed by the Senate on June 5, 1997, and the House of Representatives on September 3, 1997. It was approved by President Fidel V. Ramos on September 30, 1997. This law redefined rape as a A crime against persons, because rape violates a person’s well-being and not just ones virginity or purity. The law considers that any person, whether a prostituted person, non-virgin or one who has an active sexual life may be victimized by rape. It also defined as a public offense. By declaring that rape is a crime against persons, the law no longer considers it as a private crime. Anyone who has knowledge of the crime may file a case on the victim’s behalf. The prosecution continues even if the victim drops the case...
