"The Importance of Labor Day in Honoring Filipino Workers and Celebrating Their Achievements"

 

    In the Philippines, Labor Day is a significant holiday because it honors the contributions that workers have made to society and the economy of the nation. The celebration, also known as "Araw ng
Manggagawa" or "Workers' Day," takes place on May 1 every year. The struggle and labor of Filipino workers are remembered on this day, which also recognizes their crucial contribution to the advancement and development of the country.

    Labor Day is noteworthy in the Philippines because it provides a chance to acknowledge the difficulties and problems that workers confront. The holiday emphasizes the value of workers' rights, the demand for better working conditions, just pay, and accessibility to social and medical benefits. It also promotes awareness of problems including exploitation, discrimination, and job insecurity. The Filipino workforce is able to band together to lobby for their demands and rights through rallies, protests, and other events. It also offers a chance to reflect on and recognize the contributions made by labor unions and other worker advocacy organizations. Many of the rights and protections that workers have today were made possible by these groups, including the minimum wage and the eight-hour workday. Understanding the labor movement's accomplishments will help us better appreciate the value of collective bargaining and the ongoing need for worker advocacy.

As a result, Labor Day is a significant holiday that respects and recognizes the achievements that workers have made to the country. We can more fully appreciate the toil and dedication of our fellow citizens if we take the time to consider the history and accomplishments of the labor movement. Additionally, we may fight toward a more just and equitable society where every worker is valued and respected by bringing attention to persistent issues affecting employees and by taking the time to rest and recharge. 

Mabuhay kayong lahat at maraming salamat !

"ILOCOS SUR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL @121"

It is one of the most significant events that happens in ISNHS since it is the celebration of its founding. One of the highlights before a school year ends in ISNHS is the Foundation Day or High School Day Celebration. This year marks the 121st High School Day Celebration with the theme,  "Renewed Commitment in Defying Odds to Transcend Heights of Excellence and Solidarity" . This year, they made this a 1-day celebration. There are programs and different activities done and held in this celebration.

 

 

The field demonstration is the main event of the day where every grade level prepared an intermission number to showcase. Before the actual dance or field demonstration, the selected students, teaching and non-teaching staffs of ISNHS joins the thanks giving mass held at the ISNHS gymnasium.

 

 

Always look back to the days where it all started. This celebration surely makes our high school

"Holy Week: The Ultimate Journey of Faith and Reflection"

Holy week is the most important time of the year for Christians around the world. It is the week leading up to Easter Sunday and is filled with religious ceremonies, services, and rituals. The Holy week begins on Palm Sunday, the day on which Jesus entered Jerusalem and was greeted by crowds of people who waved palm branches in his honor. The week ends with the Easter Sunday celebration, which marks the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

Christians observe Holy Week to reflect on Jesus' life and teachings, as well as to remember his sacrifice on the cross. The week culminates with the Last Supper, when Jesus gathered with his disciples to break bread and drink wine, laying the groundwork for the Christian sacrament of communion. The week also includes the Good Friday service, during which Christians remember Jesus' crucifixion and death on the cross. This is a solemn, but important, time for Christians to consider the enormity of Jesus' sacrifice and the love he demonstrated for all humanity.

 

The Holy week is a time for Christians to come together, to pray, and to celebrate. It is a time to reflect on the teachings of Jesus and to deepen one’s faith. During this time, Christians are encouraged to engage in acts of charity and to help those who are less fortunate. Overall, the Holy week is a time of great spiritual significance for Christians all over the world as it reminds them of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

It's More Fun In Vigan : Ilocos Sur Tawid

 

Ilocos Sur is a beautiful province located in the northern Luzon. This year’s celebration was full of surprises. They invited many popular TV artist, conducted so many competitions. One of them was the street dancing competition where different provinces and other neighboring provinces showcased their cultures.

Kannawidan is an Ilocano term which means feast of heritage and culture. Kannawidan is an annual celebration of the province of Ilocos Sur. This festival of Ilocanos aims to restore the habit they have and showcase their inheritance from preceding generations. Kannawidan is derived from the Ilocano term "tawid" meaning inheritance.

Just like in the previously held Vigan City Fiesta, there is also a food and trade fair and the products are more diverse since it features different goods coming from the 22 towns of Ilocos Sur. There are also rides that people will enjoy. Additionally, Kannawidan is much more let's say extravagant in a way since artists come to the province and Ilocano fans have a chance to meet them up close.

Highlights of this festival are the Miss Ilocos Sur,  Kannawidan Street Dancing and Showdown. Miss Ilocos Sur is a pageant where beautiful young ladies represent their hometown and compete in different categories. The street dancing and showdown is where the representatives of towns face off for the different prizes waiting. 

Every heritage and culture is to be known by many. Stories to be passed down to the succeeding generations to come and hopefully they can witness the inheritance that our ancestors have presented us.

EstyudaNTREPRENEUR 2022

 The event "Likas na Talento at Kasanayan: Tugon a Katatagan at Pagharap sa Hamon ng Bagong Normal" had a successful opening December 2 2022. The goal of this event is to promote students' work and that tle is not an easy or minor subject only. Others may claim that the subject is as simple as playing in the sun, but this is not the case. Students in these subjects must learn how to cook, prepare traditional cuisines such as longganisa, carve furniture, and provide services such as beauty, wellness, and massage. Furthermore, the event's goal is to reveal and see who the talented and brave students who will participate in the said event are.

The main goal of the event was to help JHS students develop their entrepreneurial skills, and I believe that goal was met. Cookery students learned what it's like to work under pressure, just like chefs do. Furthermore, students in agriculture, beauty care, and wellness massage learned how to properly execute'sales talk' in order to sell more products. Meanwhile, ICT, CSS, CSA, Industrial Arts, and Carpentry students interacted with other students and demonstrated the various appliances that distinguish their chosen area of specialization. Indeed, EstyudaNTREPRENEUR is an event that creates a lovely learning environment for ISNHS students.

I learned a lot after attending the event. I discovered that this event is beneficial to student "entrepreneurs" not only because they earn money by selling, but it can also serve as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This experience has taught me that this event improved their physical and mental abilities. This means they are well-prepared for the future. I also discovered that we can send messages through one of their booths. With that, we took advantage of the opportunity to make fun of one of our friends.

Businesses can provide children with opportunities to be creative innovators while also earning money. Although an increasing number of states and communities have made it easier for young entrepreneurs to earn money, children and teenagers must still obtain the necessary paperwork to operate legally.

  

Second Quarter....DONE!

  

    
Looking back on my first reflection, I stated that I wanted to improve in various areas. It was undoubtedly another journey full of learning and challenges.

    Second Quarter! New lessons, new people, new activities. As usual, stressed. Summative test, not enough days to discuss, thematic projects, and after the vacation, Second quarterly examination, and many more requirements to finish.

 Unlike in the last quarter, it is easier compared to the last quarter. Like in the last quarter, all we need is time management and review. Managing your time is very important. Mix it with a good review and it’ll make a perfect potion for the second quarter.

  Life is a continuous learning. In other words,  is a continuous process of your life. Every day we learn from many things like in our daily experiences. Life is about continuous learning, discovering new things, and growing. Successful people don't think they know everything. They are open to new ideas. And it’s just the right reason why students go to school. If we only depend on experience, there’s no such thing as discovery at all.

    Moving on, I will continue to pursue my dreams by pushing myself to achieve my kind of success in which my parents would be proud of me.
