Join the Nation in Observance of Values Month

The DepEd emphasizes the role of this month's celebration in strengthening the Filipino culture and ideals especially the DepEd's core values- maka-Diyos, maka-tao, makakalikasan and makabansa.


This targets to mobilize all citizens to contribute to community through upholding Filipino values, and to plant the power of these values and ideals in achieving individual success and national progress.

The Values Month is also anchored on the mandate of Republic Act 10533, otherwise known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, which aims to produce holistically developed and socially responsible citizens equipped not only with lifelong competencies, but also with essential values

United Nations Day

     We should mark the UN days because this is an occasion to educate the public on issues of concern and resources to address global problems and to celebrate and reinforce achievements of humanity.

      On October 24,1945, more than 50 countries came together to create the United Nations. Its purpose was to promote peace and cooperation around the world. Today, the United Nations is an organization made up of more than 100 countries, almost every nation in the world. The United Nations declared October 24 as United Nations Day in 1947. The event was to be observed by all member countries. United Nations Day continues to be celebrated globally.

       In 1971, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a further resolution declaring that United Nations Day shall be an international holiday and recommended that it should be observed as a public holiday by United Nations member states.

Sports are very important in every student. Being part of the intramurals is not just to have fun. Intramurals teach students the value of sportsmanship. The ability to accept defeat gracefully is a sign of maturity and success. The ability to bounce back strong from fall will able students to experience personal victory and joy. Losses teach students to reflect stronger next time, and learn from mistakes while wins teach students to never rest on their success but to keep practicing. Playing sports teach student to refrain from arrogance and instead to learn to be realistic and humble. Sports provide a healthy past time to help students refrain from various illegal doings like drugs, smoking, drinking, and spending time on devices.

Sigh Science!

We all know that science is everywhere and somewhere, anything and everything, somebody and someone. Let me first take an introduction to refresh our minds about it.  Science is everything around us. its to discover information about this world we live in. Everything in our world that we use somehow or someway was made by science. It started with discovering something now then study what can it be capable of. In chemistry, there is discovering elements using chemical bonding. In physics, there are already discovered laws and properties such as gravity, motion, speed, force, acceleration etc. Whether the discovery is 200 years old or 100 years old, it doesn't matter. science is all around us from laptops that we use, car that we drive. Science is to discover information about our natural world even about space to help us understand our existence.

Loving Your Own Language

The Philippines is a multilingual country. We use more than 150 languages, according to the Komisyon sa Wikang Fiipino (KWF) and Ethnologue. These include Cebuano Binisaya, Tagalog, Ilokano, Hiligaynon, Bikol, Waray, Kapampangan, Pangasinan, Maranao, Maguindanaon, Bahasa Sug, Kinaray-a, Kankanaey, Manobo, Subanen, Bontoc, Sama-Bajaw, and many others. People incorrectly call them “dialects,” but they are actually independent languages, according to linguistics. 

Linguistics or the scientific study of language is greatly influenced by history, culture, social and political factors around the world. In the Philippines, the month of August is designated as Buwan ng Wika, which is celebrated to promote the national language. Buwan ng Wika was previously called Linggo ng Wika. It is a month-long celebration that was extended from the week’s observance of Linggo ng Wika.
