Did you know that the Philippines also have the oldest Chinatown? Located in Binondo in Manila, on 1594 selling charms and Chinese symbols.

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

  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.

  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.

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.
