  The Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004 (RA 9262) is an instrument to fight against VAW in our country. However, other laws has also a significant role in addressing different problems of this difficult issue.  The RA 7877: The Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995. This law tells a specific form of VAW that often goes unreported and unaddressed: sexual harassment.  RA 7877 defines sexual harassment as "any unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favor, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature" that creates a hostile or offensive environment. RA 7877 recognizes that sexual harassment can occur in various places, including the workplace, educational institutions, and public spaces. It goes beyond physical assault and acknowledges the psychological and emotional damage caused by unwanted sexual attention. The law has helped raise awareness about sexual harassment and empowered victims to find justice. It provides legal power for vict...

  Elpidio Quirino. The term brings to mind the Philippines during the reconstruction era after the war. But for me, studying his biography opened up for me more than an interesting historical event, it is a tale of fighting spirit and hard work, as well as gratitude that in some way or the other inspires us right now.  My exploration into the life of Quirino started off as uninterested. He is largely lost in the pages of history books given by colourful personalities, and is mentioned only as a side reference in the struggle for freedom for the Filipinos. But the deeper I went into the subject, the more I began to appreciate how completely inappropriate that assessment was. His is a tale worth telling not only for its relevance to history, but for its richness of humanity as well.   His early life, far from being privileged, was marked by a quiet determination. Born in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, in 1890, his family background, though modest, instilled in him a strong work ethic a...

Indigenous Peoples are the ones who are rich of invaluable knowledge, rich cultures, and sustainable practices that have shaped our world especially the nature.  Their contributions to agriculture, food security, and nation-building are often dosregarded, yet they are the one who is starting a significant action for the society.  A month-long celebration dedicated to the contributions is not a fake gesture, it's an important step towards acknowledging their significant role and ensuring their continued prosperity.   The celebration's focus on agriculture and the big contribution of these people.  They have a deep understanding of our environments, applying traditional farming techniques that are often more sustainable, better and resilient than the modern industrial methods.  Their knowledge about planting, and caring for the nature holds the key to addressing food insecurity in keeping the world.  By recognizing and supporting their actions, we can learn v...

  As times goes by, weather has been changing and shocking everyone. The atmosphere is rising in temperature, floods are being common, many landslides are occuring, and Sea Levels are rising. Because of us, being irresponsible in caring for the nature, we forget about what are its effects. In joining various programs and practicing effective actions, we can minimize the rapid changing of the climate. This change of the weathers, can destroy the agricultural lands and crops that affect the farmers and us consumers.   Bayanihan is one of the best characteristics of a Filipino. Bayanihan shows resiliency among us Filipinos because we are always ready to help. In times of calamities, we keep our smiles and just move on by helping each other to rise up from these nightmares. To have a stronger and effective preparation, the government implements various programs that spread awareness and knowledge about the change of climate. As we all know, we can never stop climate change. Howeve...

Our country, a nation known for its incredible culture and our hospitality, faces a stark reality. The spreading issue of violence against children. It is very alarming that in our own country, Filipino children aren't even safe from their homes. This is the reason why we should make an action for this innocent children.  Many children have been victims of abuse. Each day, they are afraid to continue their life because of their fears. They all just wanted to escape from their hell nightmares and to continue living peacefully. Angers, envious, and jealousy are some of the emotions that causes abuse. Mostly, their own parents are the one who abuse this angels. Because of poverty, they express their frustration through abusing their own blood and flesh. This can affect children in various ways. It includes their study, mental health, physical health, confidence and many more. If they can't focus on studying, it will not only affect their future but also the future of our country. ...
