Image
  As we maked our Community-Based Research (CBR) project, our team was filled with excitement and anticipation. Our goal is to create a research project that would contribute a lot of knowledge and also have a positive outcome in our barangay/community. We began by identifying a question that was applicable to our topic which is entrepreneurship. After conducting preliminary research and consulting with community stakeholders, we decided to focus on [research question]. This question was not only timely but also had the potential to make a remarkable impact on our community. Next, we tend to have a deeper understanding about our topic. We analyzed existing studies, academic papers, and reports to identify gaps in the current research and to inform our methodology. We decided to use a questionnaire for them and have an interview with them.This approach allowed us to gather a comprehensive understanding of the research topic and to triangulate our findings. We then began collecting d...

Reflection

  This quarter gives me a lot of knowledge regarding HTML tags, I learned so many things on how we use those tags. I learned how to use the tags and know what is the purpose of these tags. And also the CBR, I learned how to make or conduct a cbr because this lesson gives us knowledge to make our own research. Many challenges I experienced, including a lot of activities I've done and the sleepless nights I experienced. I tend to go to my classmate's house just to finish our CBR and help them to make the research easier. Even though I experienced those challenges, I just think positively to address it and rest a little bit to have a full energy and to continue of what I'm doing. Moving on, I will use these as a source of my strength to continue striving of my studies, It can help me on my next journey. I hope these quarter helps me on my next step.

Celebrating Chinese New Year

Image
It was the very first time that the Chinese New Year was celebrated in the Philippines as a special non- working holiday which gave the opportunity to both Chinese-Filipinos and Filipinos in the country to enjoy the celebration. This became possible because of the Proclamation declared by President Benigno S. Aquino III, stating that this "is a manifestation of our solidarity with our Chinese- Filipino brethren who have been part of our lives in many respects as a country and as a people."  The Chinese culture in the Philippines had been recognized to be very influential in the country, as Filipinos are known to partake in thecelebration by means of having Chinese Food, consulting Feng Shui experts for good luck, as well as reading their Chinese horoscope. Chinese-Filipinos, although do not make the majority of the population, have been a prominent member of the Philippine community, especially their influence in the business sector. Festivals are an integral part of Filipino...

Cityhood of Vigan

Image
  VIGAN IS THE ONLY CITY IN THE COUNTRY THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED BY UNESCO AS A WORLD HERITAGE SITE, AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT IT IS A LIVING FAB- RIC OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE. Bagnet and longganisa—for some of us, these come to mind when we think of Vigan. For others, the mention of the city’s name evokes memories of walking along the cobblestoned-steps of Calle Crisologo, and snapping a “selfie” or two with its heritage buildings, or maybe buying an abel iloko, the famous handwoven fabric that the region is known for, from the souvenir shops that line the street.Vigan, however, is an old soul. Vigan is the only city in the country that has been declared by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) as a world heritage site, an acknowledgment that it is a living fabric of historical significance. Recently, Vigan also won a spot as one of the “New7Wonders Cities” campaign of the Swiss-registered nonprofit New7Wonders Foundation. The campaign allowed peop...

Gift giving is very essential for each one of us because it can fill our hearts with love. By giving gifts to each other, you can see in their faces that they're happy. Furthermore, Christmas can make us feel happy and grateful for every moment in our lives.    My Christmas vacation was great and happy. I spent my Christmas vacation with my family and friends. I enjoyed a lot this past Christmas with love and joy. We went to church with my cousins to thank God for giving us blessings and also giving us another day for our lives. Also, my friend and I did caroling at different houses; we enjoyed that much, and we had a lot of money that we caroled for. In addition, we also went to Ilocos Norte to have a trip to different places such as Paoay Church, Robinsons Mall, and MalacaƱang of the North.  I'm so grateful that my Christmas vacati...

Violence against women

Image
Violence against women (VAW) appears as one of the country's pervasive social problems. According to the 2022 National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority, 17.5% of Filipino women aged 15-49 have experienced any form of physical, sexual, and emotional violence from their intimate partners. As of 2021, there were 8,399 reported cases ases of physical violence, 1,791 on rape, and 1,505 on acts of lasciviousness. It is alarming that despite addressing the concern, VAW persists. VAW is deemed to be closely linked with the unequal power relation between women and men, otherwise known as "gender-based violence." Societal norms and traditions dictate people think that men are the leaders, pursuers, and providers and take on the dominant roles in society. At the same time, women are the nurturers, men's companions, and supporters, and they take on subordinate roles in society. This perception leads men to gain more power over ...
