Celebrating Chinese New Year

-



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 culture, and they play a significant role in shaping the contemporary Filipino workforce. By celebrating their cultural heritage and promoting values such as teamwork, respect for tradition, and innovation, festivals contribute to a positive work culture that values diversity and promotes effective communication and collaboration among employees. By understanding and embracing the influence of festivals on the Filipino workforce, employers can create a positive and inclusive work environment that values the unique experiences and cultural heritage of their employees.

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.

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 ...
