CBR Journey

Image
We started our research journey with a simple yet challenging task choosing the right topic. Everyone had different ideas, but we all wanted something that could truly benefit the community. After hours of discussion, we finally agreed on studying the Aldaw Dagiti Mannalon Festival.  Once we had our topic, we divided responsibilities. Some focused on drafting surveys, others prepared interview questions, and a few of us began contacting community members. It was exciting but also a bit overwhelming. The most memorable part is we conducted interviews with farmers and residents and the gathered data through internet. Some shared their experiences, the challenges of farming, and how the festival gives them a sense of pride and recognition. Back at school, we returned to analyze everything. We identified common themes in the interviews and observations: Pride in Farming: Farmers feel valued through the festival. Community Unity: The event strengthens community ties. Economic Boost: Far...

Third Quarter Journey

Image
 In the third quarter, I learned a lot about community-based research using HTML. One important thing I discovered was how to present information clearly online for different people. I found that using HTML helps organize the content in a way that makes it easier to understand. I also learned how research can be shared with the community through websites, making the information easier for everyone to find and read. However, there were some problems along the way. One challenge was figuring out how to create a well-structured website, especially when combining different HTML elements correctly. Another issue was making sure the content was easy for everyone to use and navigate, which meant paying close attention to the design. Sometimes, fixing problems in the code took longer than I expected, which slowed down my work. To solve these problems, I looked for help from online guides, videos, and classmates who knew more about HTML. I also spent time practicing and trying out different...

Bridging Cultures

  Why Do Filipinos Observe the Celebration of Chinese New Year? Filipinos celebrate Chinese New Year because of the strong influence of Chinese culture in the country. For a long time, Chinese traders and immigrants have shared their traditions with Filipinos, shaping many aspects of life, such as food, language, and customs. Many Filipino-Chinese families continue to follow traditions like dragon dances, giving red envelopes (ang pao), and preparing special food for good luck. Because of this connection, Chinese New Year has become an important celebration, not only for Chinese-Filipinos but also for many other Filipinos. Filipinos believe that celebrating Chinese New Year brings good luck, happiness, and success. People wear red clothes for luck, light firecrackers to chase away bad spirits, and use lucky decorations to attract good energy. Even those who are not Chinese join in, hoping to have a better year ahead. Many businesses, malls, and even government offices decorate thei...

When City is Born

Image
  Vigan, Ilocos Sur, was once a small town known for its rich history and well preserved Spanish-style buildings. As a town, it was a center for trade and farming, with locals working in agriculture, pottery, and weaving. Even though it was historically important, it had only basic facilities, and the local government mainly focused on maintaining public services and protecting old buildings. Still, Vigan was already known for its beauty, attracting visitors who admired its stone streets and old houses. Today, as a city, Vigan has grown while keeping its culture alive. Since becoming a city in 2001, it has improved its roads, tourism, and businesses. The local government has worked hard to protect historical sites while improving public services. More tourists, both local and foreign, visit the city, and businesses like hotels and restaurants have increased, giving more jobs to people and helping the economy grow. Even with these changes, Vigan stays true to its past and remains a ...

New Year, New Me

Image
  This new year, I want to focus on working harder. I know that success comes from putting in effort, so I will try my best in everything I do. Whether it’s school, work, or personal goals, I will stay focused and avoid distractions. By managing my time better and staying committed, I believe I can achieve great things. I also want to be more careful with money. Being thrifty means spending wisely and saving for the future. Instead of buying things I don’t need, I will plan my expenses and stick to a budget. I will find ways to reuse what I already have and only spend on things that truly matter. This will help me to save more money.  By working hard and being thrifty, I hope to make this year more meaningful. These habits will not only help me reach my goals but also teach me to value what I have. I am ready to take small but steady steps toward becoming a better version of myself. Reference:blogger

My Christmas Vacation

Image
This year’s Christmas vacation was filled with excitement and unforgettable moments. I joined a badminton tournament and, after giving my best, I became the top 1 player. Winning the championship was an incredible experience and a reward for all the hard work and dedication I put into practicing. On top of that, I also played in an inter-barangay basketball tournament with my team, and we emerged as champions. It was a proud moment for all of us to bring home the title. As the New Year approached, we took time to celebrate it meaningfully by going to church as a family. It was a moment to give thanks for the blessings we received and to pray for guidance in the coming year. Spending time together in prayer gave me a sense of peace and hope as we welcomed the new year.  On the last day of the holiday, we had a fun-filled outing at the beach with my family. The day was filled with laughter as we swam, played games, and enjoyed the refreshing sea breeze. It was the perfect way to end ...
