The true meaning of Valentines


Valentines is an event that happens once in a year to celebrate love. Celebrated every year on February 14. The term Valentines came from the saint named Valentine. According to legends, did you know that during medieval times where marriage to young teens is prohibited, St. Valentines would often be the priest that would practice marriage with these youngster in the shadows without anyone knowing. Until the king found out and ordered St. Valentine to be executed on February 14. that is where they coined the name valentines and why it is called the month of love.


Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th to honor a martyr named Valentine and to celebrate love and romance. It's also known as Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine. The Catholic Church may have established the feast day to honor two martyrs named Valentine who were executed by Roman Emperor Claudius II in the 3rd century. People celebrate by giving cards, flowers, chocolates, and poetry to their loved one. Up until know, people still celebrate this as way to show their love and affection to someone whether it is family, friends or anybody that you love. Valentines isn't just about giving flowers and writing letters, it’s a day where everyone can express and appreciate their love for each other.



Growing up, I never experienced the true meaning of valentines, no gifts no letter nor even chocolates. But I soon realized is not just about lovers, is everyone around you. Famly, friends and even strangers. Now,  I oftenm celebrate this event with my family I've soon realized that spending time. Them the more I understand what love was. It is a bond that is unbreakble. I have become more aware that even if it's not velentines, I still can choose to treat  like one, everyday showing love and affecton to everyone.

Cleanliness matters

  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. 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

  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.
