SPNHS Triumphs in the Search for Miss Hadang Queen 2023

One beat, great feat!

kaleidoscope of vibrant props

The Drum and Lyre Corps of San Policarpo National High School emerged victorious as the CHAMPION at the Exhibition Showdown of the Grand Drum Corps Competition 2023 held at NWSSU Field

For eight months these young performers dedicated themselves to perfecting their craft rehearsing and fine-tuning their moves

The outcome? A performance that can only be described as aweinspiring

The SPNHS Drum and Lyre Corps left no crumbs with their spirited performance, perfectly synchronized moves, and vibrant theme that complemented the city's 75th Charter Day Celebration

A lively theme electrified the audience; the flaglets swirled and twirled in the air like vibrant birds of paradise, and the beat of the drums was thunderous

However, it was when they struck the first chords of the Samareño, Samareña music that something magical happened The audience couldn't help but be swept away by the infectious rhythm and found themselves singing in harmony with the music

Originally conceived as a barrio fiesta-themed performance it evolved to center around the rich cultural traditions of Calbayog or Samar as a whole The performance centered around three key aspects: bayanihan traditional Philippine serenade and an unending festive atmosphere with colorful banners and a

“Shoot for the moon If you miss, you'll land among the stars ”

When asked about his feelings as SPNHS was announced as the winner Sir John Jayson Chan the dedicated coordinator of the Drum and Lyre Corps expressed his elation "It feels real" he said with a proud smile “We really have done our best and everything sacrifices effort So hearing the sweetest announcement a while ago was very emotional for all of us Of course everyone has exerted their effort, all schools exerted their efforts Pero in our case talaga, almost a year kasi nga preparation, so gintreat talaga namon na ultimate goal namon nga magdaog”

He also left a powerful quote for aspiring young talents: "Trust the process, that everything should be entrusted to what is happening to what is the process"

The SPNHS performers are not only skilled but also passionate about what they do, and it shines through in every beat of the drum, every note they play, and every step they take Of course, it is not only the performers who deserve recognition Behind this victory are the unsung heroes who guided, mentored, and supported the Drum and Lyre Corps tirelessly The SPNHS Drum and Lyre Corps is indebted to the vision and leadership of Sir John Jayson Chan Sir Nikko Franklin Quintana Sir Benson Ancheta Hubert Repesada and Ismael Villarino who mentored these performers

The quote that holds the reality of our Miss Hadang Heritage, Jioielli Gito, and our 2nd Runner-Up, Ms Rechelle Monton after emitting a jaw-dropping performance during the search for the Miss Hadang Festival Queen 2023 held in Calbayog City Sports Center on September 2 2023

The two of them safeguarded their place and made it to the Top 5

In addition Ms Gito also got the Ms Photogenic Special Award, while Ms Monton bagged the Best in Production Attire Minor Award

Featuring the attire that blend perfectly with their unshakable posture and blinding beauty Their outstanding performance will undoubtedly leave shining footprints in the history of Calbayog City, highlighting the excellence of San Policarpo National High School

WAGI SA KAALAMAN, WAGI SA KARANASAN

Labindalawang kinatawan ng San Policarpo National High School ang nakipagtagisan sa 20th ASEP

National Science Quest sa Baguio City, nitong Pebrero 25, 2024

Sa unang paglahok ng SPNHS noong 2018 sa ganitong uri ng patimpalak inuwi nila ang tumpok ng parangal at naitanghal pa bilang Overall Winner sa Group Category

In addition a journalist from the Baybay Region stated, "For my experience it was good staying at your school Your school is very clean, though a bit cold but you have plenty of fans But it's still nice, especially because of the heat index right now You won't have a problem with the heat because there are many fans in your room, and it's also nice on the 3rd day when they organized fun activities for the two divisions and for us journalists That's all"

Journalism extends beyond the clash of pens and brains It has the ability to spark deep bonds promote solidarity, and stand as the unwavering advocate for truth

Cha-Cha Dangers: Democracy's Gamble?

FatmaQuinsay|EditorinChief

“Is amending the constitution a solution, or a Cha-Cha gamble leading us into exploitation and corruption?”

The current push for Charter Change (Cha-Cha) in the Philippines particularly those focused on economic provisions are wrapped in good intentions but carry the potential for dire consequences

The backdrop of the 1987 Philippine Constitution is a testament to the countrys resilience against dictatorship and the pursuit of genuine democracy Its foundation was laid in the aftermath of the "Peoples Power Revolution" a time when the Filipino people sought to build a system that truly reflected their aspirations Fast forward 36 years and the same constitution stands as a guardian of our nations order and balance For this reason, one question hat bothers me is, why even fix what is not broken?

The call for constitutional amendments particularly through the Peoples Initiative, raises a red flag While the power of suffrage and the ability to amend the constitution are fundamental rights in a democratic society the potential for exploitation looms large The vulnerability of our electoral system to vote-buying and manipulation poses a serious threat to the integrity of any Peoples Initiative

The recent House Bill No 7352, aiming to amend economic provisions, is a prime example While the noble intention is to boost economic stability the arbitrary application of such changes might open the floodgates to exploitation of national resources and indigenous lands The claim of an "undisclosed agenda" behind the peoples initiative as voiced by Representative Edcel Lagman raises concerns about the transparency and integrity of the process

Furthermore, reports of widespread signature buying in different regions further taint the Cha-Cha process The alleged connection between the mobilization fund and the push for constitutional amendments as indicated by PIRMAs advertisement brings into question the motivations and transparency of the initiative

The proponents argue that amending the constitution will attract foreign investments and elevate the countrys economic standing However, my concern lies in the lack of empirical evidence supporting this claim As of November 2023 the country's debt has risen and the potential benefits remain uncertain How can we attract foreign investments when corruption and lack of transparency persist further perpetuating poverty?

Let us not limit ourselves to the Cha-Cha dance but explore a

myriad of viable solutions Rather than placing our faith solely in foreign investments why not explore alternative solutions? The government should focus on creating sustainable projects and employment opportunities for the marginalized Supporting local productions and goods instead of relying solely on foreign investments can contribute to the stability of our economy without sacrificing the integrity of our constitution

Let us not sacrifice the very foundations that have kept our democracy intact for 36 years It is time to prioritize genuine solutions over the allure of quick fixes and unmask the hidden agenda behind the Cha-Cha facade Our constitution has weathered storms; let us not dismantle it in the pursuit of illusions I refuse to roll the dice on the Cha-Cha gamble, I will stand firm in defense of the integrity of Philippine democracy

DearEditor

For the past few years, there has been an alarming shortage of classrooms in schools across the country The Department of Education disclosed that the nation is facing a staggering deficit of 159,000 classrooms this school year With that, I feel compelled to bring attention to the pressing issue that is affecting the quality of education for us – for countlessstudents

In San Policarpo National High School the impact of this classroom shortage isacutelyfelt Ourcomputerlaboratory which should ideally serve as a hub for technological education has been repurposed into a makeshift classroom due to the lack of dedicated learning spaces The shortage of classrooms hampers our ability to engage in effective and focused learning Overcrowded classrooms also make it challenging for teachers to provide individual attention to students I want another problem to be addressed in our school the lack of a proper library Surprisingly the

TheTeenageMentalHealthCrisisHidinginPlainSight

A cry for help echoes across our high schools unheard by many As students rush between classes and activities a mental health crisis hides in plain sight The data paints a sobering picture - rising rates of anxiety depression and suicidal ideation among teenagers This generation faces unprecedented academic social and emotional pressures Without support, even the top students crack under the strain

Our school is no exception As a student journalist I see the crisis

first-hand - students cramming for multiple exams a week, teens coping with academic disappointment through unhealthy means and constant comparisons on social media

Excellence is celebrated struggle gets shamed College prep consumes conversations Stigma persists around mental health issues

The consequences are devastating -- suicidal teens, students dropping out from stress and a generation

Bigas Laban sa Pera! Paglalakbay Tungo sa Kaganapan ng 4Ps

Nakakagulat, nakakapanibago at nakakamangha Sa gitna ng pagbabago at pagsusuri sa mga programa para sa nangangailangan may umuusbong na usapin hinggil sa pamamahagi ng bigas kaysa sa salapi para sa mga benepisyaryo ng Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program o (4Ps) Makatutulong kaya ito sa kanila? O sila ay mas lalo lang maghihirap? Makakaapekto kaya ito sa kanilang pamumuhay?

Ang Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program o 4Ps ay isang programa na kung saan ay ang bawat miyembro nito ay makakatanggap ng tulong o salapi na galing sa gobyerno Ito ay nakatutulong sa paraang nabibigyan sila ng salapi at nabibili nila ang kanilang mga pangangailangan Ang bawat miyembro nito ay kailangang

nagtataglay ng isa o higit pang mga anak na patuloy na nag-aaral Ngunit ang tanong, mas matutulungan kaya sila kung ang bigas ang ipamimigay kaysa sa salapi?

Paano masisiguro na ang mga bigas na ipamimigay ay makararating sa mga tunay na nangangailangan? Ngunit marami ang nagbatikos sa

ideyang ito Marami ang may mga salungat na pananaw Ang mga kritiko ay nagmumungkahi na ang ipamimigay na salapi ay nagbibigay kalayaan sa mga benepisyaryo na makapamili batay sa kanilang pangangailangan Bagamat totoo ito, maaari namang isabay ang pamimigay ng bigas sa edukasyon tungkol sa pag-unlad ng komunidad at wastong pamamahala ng pinansyal Pero, batay sa aking napakinggan ayon sa sekretarya ng DSWD na si Sekretarya Rex Gatchalian patuloy silang nakikipagusap sa Kagawarang PangAgrikultura kung paano ito maipalulunsad Nasabi niya ito nito lang nakaraang Pebrero 20 2024 Para sa akin nararapat lang na ito ay maipalunsad dahil batay sa aking mga nalalaman ang ibang benepisyaryo ng programang 4Ps ay ginagamit lang ang pera pang sugal, pambili ng alak, at iba pang kagamitan na hindi naman kailangan sa isang pamilya Iyong iba pa nga ay isinasanla pa ang kanilang ATM cards para makuha ng advance ang pera na siyempre may

losing their wellbeing in pursuit of success We glorify busyness and perfectionism rather than rest and self-care

This cannot continue Schools have a duty to respond to this health crisis hiding in plain sight Each one of us need training in mental health first aid and resources to assist struggling students And we must, be available widely

Above all we need to talk openly about mental health replacing misconceptions with compassion

kaltas na ng pinagsanlaan Ayaw nating mangyari iyan kaya angkop na angkop ang proposal na imbes na salapi ay bigas ang ipamigay Hindi naman ata ang gobyerno gagawa nang desisyon kung ito ay mas makakapagpahirap sa mga Pilipino Kaya para sa akin mas mainam na ito ay agarang maipalunsad kung ang bigas na ipamimigay ay maganda ang kalidad Dahil nga ang bigas ang ating pangunahing kailangan lalong lalo na tayong mga Pilipino Bigas ang nagbibigay lakas sa atin sa ating pang-araw-araw kaya naman napakabuti kung bigas ang ipamimigay kesa sa salapi Higit pa rito itoy maaring magsilbing simula ng mga programang pang-agrikultura sa komunidad, na naglalayong mapalakas ang ekonomiya at kabuhayan Ang pagbibigay ng bigas ay hindi lamang simpleng tulong kundi pagbibigay daan sa potensyal na pag-usbong ng mga lugar na matagal nang nakaasa sa tulong mula sa gobyerno

Outreach about counseling and peer support must become routine

Only by acknowledging this crisis can we create a school culture that values student wellbeing

The time is now to listen to the SOS calls of our youth With understanding and urgency we can promote the systemic and cultural changes needed so students’ health doesn’t get sacrificed for academic achievement But first, we must bring this crisis out of the shadows Our teens wellbeing depends on it

In a culture intricately tying one's value to professional pursuits intentional efforts persist in recognizing and celebrating the invaluable contributions of every individual irrespective of their job title

On the 4th of May 2023, when the results for the Criminology Licensure Examination from all over the region were posted, it was then held as one of the remarkable days for him

"Tanan nga criminology graduate and even undergraduate pangarap nga makapasar sine nga CLE ngan makuha iton nga lisensya, asya grateful ak ura ura kay mayda ak mama nga pirme nakasuporta sakon ngan may mga tawo nga bumulig sakon para makatapos sakon pag aram bisan diri ak nira kadugo," he uttered

According to the Professional Regional Commission last April 2023 4,139 out of 13,000 examinees passed the Licensure Examination for Criminologists handed by the Board of Criminology in 30 testing centers all over the Philippines Numerous examinees have experienced consecutive sleepless nights, a few days with tired eyes, and some exhausted weeks yet they exerted up to their best abilities to ace the exam

"Pag diri ak nahahatagan allowance that time, nagsusura ak asukar

makasurvive la And worse, nagkatrangkaso ak while taking exam three days nga exam"

He faced hardships regarding financial matters, but that did not hinder him from pursuing his dream There were days in which he was preoccupied with stress and pressure; the fear of failing crept into his mind For him, the exam was not just an ordinary test; it was his parents' blood and sweat It was where his future lies It was worth every sacrifice he made "Nag-set ak goal nga everyday minimum of 15 pages akon mabasa, and pag nameet ko iton nga goal naghahatag ak reward sakon kalugaringon para marelease an stress kay diri la harumamay an 37 major subjects nga kailangan ko makabisado ngan maintindihan within 1 and a half month"

The inspiration from his family gave him the urge to consume his one and a half months for tough preparation unaware that his consistency and determination would be his assets to attain the license he was aiming for Nagbunga akon pagal ngan sakripisyo throughout sakon CLE review Usa san mga best moments sakon life After CLE, goal ko na makasulod sa tri-bureau, either PNP or BFP Kaso di pa kaya sa budget kaya nagtitirok pa ak for application"

This young man with great determination completed his Junior High School at Rafael Lentejas Memorial School of Fisheries continued his Senior High School at San Policarpo National High School and finished his higher education at Northwest Samar State University Vincent Martinez Ongcal not only passed the test but also secured the 10th place among the CLE Region 8 TOPNOTCHERS His achievement marked the beginning of his new chapter While waiting for a better opportunity, he temporarily worked as a security guard at San Policarpo National High School

Medalya, simbolo ng karangalan, Sa mga gabing pinaghirapan

Sa mga umagang pinagsikapan, Sa mga tagumpay na nakamtan

Ginto, pilak, tanso, saan ka nga ba bagay?

Kanino ka nga ba dapat isabit at ibigay?

Sa mga tahimik na mandirigma?

O sa mga bayaning ating nakikita?

Alinman sa dalawa, tiyak ako sa iisang bagay

Sa lahat ng laban, sobrang bigat

Pasan ang sariling mundo, sino ang kasama sa pagbuhat? Ano mang oras batid na ang luha't katawan ay bibigay

Ngunit, ano pang galak?

Bago pa ito isabit

Muntik pang masakal dahil sa sobrang higpit, Muntik pa akong naipit

Naipit sa sitwasyong hindi ko maintindihan "Bakit ang buong mundo'y ako'y tinalikuran?" Mga matang nakatingin, puno ng pagdududa

Mga salita'y tumatak sa'kin, "Hindi mo 'yan kaya

Hindi pa ba sapat ang lahat?

Lahat ng kwadernong ginto ay nakakalat

Pinilit ko naman, pinilit ko pang humabol, Kahit basa na ang mga papel sa aking hagulgol

Ngunit, ano pa nga ba ang magagawa? Wala akong kakayahan para bumalik sa simula

Ngayo’y aking hihintayin ang bulaklak, Hindi pa ngayon ang oras ng kaniyang busilak

Sa ating munting pagtatapos

Ang ilog ay patuloy na aagos Hindi man ako makatanggap ng karangalan

Paalala ito na hindi pa tapos ang laban

Salamat sa aking mga natanaw sa paglalakbay

Muli akong magbabalik at aabutin na ang tagumpay

Ngunit sa ngayoy magpapaalam muna sa landas na tinahak

At sa huling pagtanaw, salamat sa lahat

Kanta Estorya: Inday, Intoy, revives traditional courtship through engaging cinematic performances

"Yana na an panahon nga matutuman an ngatanan Dadad-on ko ikaw na ngadto ha simbahan"

How can love be so dynamic that it had become the root of most of the cultures that we have?

On the 27th day of February, San Policarpo National High School, in preparation for the District Pasidungog, held the LitMusDa Competition 2024

Ismayling one of the various categories of the LitMusDa Competition, fluttered the hearts of the audience and hyped the crowd with the romanticcomedy performance of the contestants

Your grandparents' knees are now fragile for dancing, and your Lola's abanico is flinging off its parts

It's getting old Slowly, it's losing itself in this generation The stitches that once repaired them are breaking apart

In every fiesta, barangay celebration, and even on birthdays, the Kuratsa is something that Waraynon cannot afford to miss

The Kuratsa is believed to demonstrate how a rooster tries to flirt with the hen The movement of

Waraynons have always been addressed as the aggressive type of people because of their intonation when talking and their maisog aura

Little do other people know that they can also be gentle and sweet when it comes to courtship and love "Ikaw la an biling ngan hingyap hinin dughan ko Kon maruruyag ka mapakasal kita largo

Imagine someone who would write and read you a poem, a man who would sing you a song regardless of how good his voice is a man who would conquer his fears and talk to your parents to ask them for their approval

Ismayling, instilled a very significant role in

Dear Gen Alpha,

their feet, which follows the tempo of the music, is associated with the swaying of the hands signifying the animal's wings

Partners were called by the matchmaker, known as parag-adu Men wear a simple barong outfit, while women wear baro't saya with an abanico in their hands

That was before It was back then, back when your grandparents were 12 back when the Samarnon houses still had their 'sirong' Folk dances were replaced with TikTok dance trends Folk songs were replaced

the phase of courtship upon many Samarnons where man, as part of courtship, court the family of the woman as well It becomes part of the culture where the man does everything to impress the family and approve their relationship

"For me ismayling is a very unique form of art that showcases the uniqueness of waraynon and also a form of courtship back then," uttered by Ksaffer Sabejon, a Grade 8 kuratsa representative

Today's generation might already forget about Ismayling, but thanks to this competition, youths were once again reminded of the traditional way of courtship

with indie rock Luksong Baka was replaced with Roblox Folk songs, traditional dances, and handicrafts now can only be seen during contests and competitions like LitMusDa

If not you, then who? Who will save this wrinkled and aged tradition? Who will preserve this dance for the future Waraynon? Will the future Waraynon still be able to witness this beautiful art?

Maybe No

It is freedom given to students A speech in every brushstroke they make Emotions in every palette The grief on the mistakes they can't erase The message they have been longing to say

"Tapos na p-pressure lat kay damo nangangagi, tapos damo nayayakan an iba" uttered John Leo Tarrayo - Mural Painting Contestant

It's good to look at an image, but it is hard for the eyes to see the struggle of the one who made the masterpiece The bittersweet experience of these aspiring artists is now carved into their palms An experience that will forever be marked by callouses on their hands

Nakakabahala, nakakatakot at lalong lalo na nakakapraning

Sa kasalukuyang panahon, ang vaping ay nagiging sentro ng masalimuot na talakayan sa kalusugan Ang ilan ay itinuturing ito bilang isang mas ligtas na alternatibo sa tradisyunal na paninigarilyo Isa nga ba itong panganib katulad nang paninigarilyo? May epekto kaya ito sa ating mga kalusugan? Totoo bang may benepisyo ito? O isa lamang itong bagong panganib?

Isang pambansang isyu ang naglalabasan sa dami ng mga kabataang nadadala sa vaping Ano nga ba ang vaping o vape? Ang vape, o tinatawag din itong electronic cigarette ay isang elektronikong aparato na ginagamit upang magdulot ng usok o steam sa pamamagitan ng pagsiklab o pag-init ng isang likido Sa madalian ito ay makabagong sigarilyo Sa pagnanasa ng ilan na makatikim ng iba't ibang lasa, mabilis na lumaganap ang kaharian ng vape Subalit ito nga ba'y ligtas na libangan o isang troso na nagdadala ng mas maraming panganib kaysa sa inaakala? Base sa aking napagsaliksik sa pag-aaral ng mga eksperto, lumalabas na maaaring magtaglay ng mas kaunting kemikal ang vape juice kumpara sa tradisyunal na sigarilyo, ngunit hindi pa rin ito nakakaiwas sa posibleng panganib

Ang mga likido na ginagamit sa vaping ay maaaring magkaroon ng hindi pa alintana na sangkap na maaaring makaapekto sa baga at iba pang bahagi ng katawan At mayroong mga taong namatay dahil sa vaping Nararapat pa rin ba na ito ay ibenta kung ito ay posibleng maging sanhi ng pagkamatay ng isang tao?

Makabagong Panganib o Alternatibong Solusyon?

Sa harap ng lumalalang isyu ng pang-aabuso sa vape masusing kampanya sa edukasyon at regulasyon ang hinahanap ng ilan Ang pagbibigay ng wastong impormasyon sa publiko at ang pagbuo ng mga patakaran upang mapangalagaan ang kalusugan ng nakararami ay mahalaga Maghihintay nalang ba na may masama tayong mararamdaman dahil sa hindi natin pakikinig sa mga

balita

at mga banta sa atin dahil sa paggamit ng vape?

Hahayaan nalang ba natin ang ating mga sarili na kainin tayo nang ating pagkalulong sa paggamit nang vape?

Sa pag-usbong ng teknolohiya at pag-unlad ng mga alternatibong produkto, mahalagang maging mapanuri at maging responsableng mamamayan Ang pag-iwas sa vaping ay maaaring maging isang mahirap

ngunit mahalagang hakbang para sa iyong kalusugan Ang mahalaga ay maging determinado at magsikap na sundan ang iyong layunin na iwasan ang vaping Kung kinakailangan, maaaring magtaglay ng propesyonal na tulong at suporta para sa masusing pangangalaga Ang usapin tungkol sa vaping ay nagdadala ng maraming tanong at sa bawat sagot naroroon ang pag-unlad at pagtuklas sa mundong binabalot ng usok

Sigurado ka bang ligtas ka sa anumang kapahamakan mula sa social media at iba pang uri ng social networking site?

Iyang tanong ang bibigyang kasagutan ng ilang mambabatas upang bigyan ng seguridad ang mga mamamayang Pilipino laban sa mga scammer at manloloko rito Ilang beses nang napapabalita na marami nang tao ang naging biktima ng walang tigil na pangingikil at pagtangay ng libo-libong pera mula sa mga walang malay nating kababayan Ang paglikha nila ng naturang batas ay mag-uugat sa mas ligtas na paggamit ng iba’t-ibang social networking site Ngunit ano nga ba itong batas, at sino ang nasasakop niyo?

Matatandaang noong Oktubre 10 2023 lumagda si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr ng Batas Pambansa Bilang 11934 o mas kilalal bilang Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) Registration Law nakatutok ito upang bigyang proteksiyon ang sino mang SIM card owner ng kahit na anong klase ng Telecommunication companies (Telcos) laban sa mga scams na ipinapadaan gamit ang text o online messages

Inaasahang ang lahat ng Telcos ay

susunod sa naturang batas upang bigyan ng proteksyon ang lahat ng maraming alam sa teknolohiya Baka sa isang iglap lang ay mananakaw agad ang impormasyon ng taong nagregister ng kanyang SIM card Nalalabag din ng SIM card registration act ang kalayaan ng taong makapahayag ng sariling pananaw o ekspresyon gamit ang produkto ng ilang Telecommunication Company Nawawalan ng kalayaan sa pagbibigay kritiko at mensahe ang ilang indibidwal kung mayroong issue na tinatalakay ang bansa dahil sa mga posibilidad na paglabag sa Batas 11934 ang paghahatid ng takot at pangamba sa seguridad ng bansa Panghuli ay nasasayang lamang ang oras at panahon ng mga subscribers dahil sa mabagal at hikaos na pagbibigay serbisyo habang inirerehistro ang SIM card Pumutok ang isyu nito noong kasagsagan ng pagsisimula ng obligadong pagpaparehistro ng SIM card Dito ay marami ang nagrereklamo dahil sa tagal ng proseso sa pagrehistro Ang ilan ay umaabot nang humigit kumulang kalahating araw maparehistro lamang ang isang SIM Hindi ba’t sobrang aksaya nito sa oras? Ngunit sa kabila ng sandamakmak na negatibong epekto ng Batas 11934 sa mga subscriber ng ilang Telcom, may papailan man ding

magagandang epekto ang pag papatupad nito

Ilan sa magagandang dulot ng SIMreg ay nabibigyang proteksiyon ang mga tao laban sa mga scammers nababawasan ang mga sindikatong may kinalaman sa “scamming”, at madaling matukoy ang mga taong may pagkakasala sa batas dahil nadidetect nito ang lokasyon at pagkakakilanlan ng taong gumagamit ng SIM card na may masamang pakay

Kung lahat ng tao ay nakapagparehistro na ng kanikanilang SIM card, madali na lamang matukoy ang mga scammer dahil sa gagawing hakbang ng Telcom upang detektahin ang mga nagkakasala Ngunit ang tanging ikinatatakot ng ilang Human Rights Activists ay maaaring malabag nito ang pribasyon ng isang tao kung hindi matibay ang seguridad na iniangkla ng mga Telecommunication Companies sa kanya-kanyang pagtakda ng SIM card registration

Gayunman, ang pagsasagawa ng prosesong ito ay naaayon sa batas, kaya’t wala nang anumang eksklusyon sa pagsasagawa niyo Isipin na lamang natin na ang simpleng hakbang na ito ay may malaking kontribusyon sa isang ligtas Pilipinas!

Do you get Deja Vu?

It causes cough, sneezing,fever, some mild looking symptoms that would gradually make the patient worse than what he/she appears to be We aren't talking about this "Covid dude" which made the people lock themselves for approximately 3 consecutive years of devastation We're moving on

This emerging disease brings forth infection in your lungs, it fills your grape-like alveoli with sticky greenish fluid called 'mucus' which later causes your tube-shaped airways to be inflamed making it harder for you to breathe

It is called a "Walking Pneumonia" Wait, this may sound like a kind of flu you've watched on your tv screens but it is totally different Walking Pneumonia is a laymans term for 'Mycoplasma Infection' It is also called an Atypical Pneumonia caused by molds, bacteria, and viruses

"[Individuals with walking pneumonia]

can still carry out their usual daily activities It is called ‘walking pneumonia because their symptoms are usually mild and those infected can still perform daily duties such as going to work or school" uttered by DOH CLCHD Infectious Diseases

Cluster Medical Officer III Angelica Joy Diaz

Walking Pneumonia is a contagious disease that could spread through airborne droplets, such as coughing, talking and sneezing However, there is no need to panic because, this disease is the weakest form of pneumonia but as the old saying goes, "prevention is better than cure" , it is a must to take care very earnestly in order to avoid a fatal condition

Over-the-counter medicine intake may be very helpful to alleviate the pain of this disease but it is not applicable to everyone Some individuals are sensitive with antibiotics and other drugs Walking Pneumonia doesn't significantly require hospitalization the Department of Health imposed some

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said we should prepare for the development of El Niño, which is increasingly occurring this year

According to the United Nations (UN) specialized agency, this would have opposite impacts on weather and climate patterns in many regions of the world compared to the longrunning La Niña and would likely fuel higher temperatures

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle has two phases: La Niña, characterized by intense rainfall and El Niño, associated with intense drought

"The world should prepare for the development of El Niño, which is often associated with increased heat, drought, or rainfall in different parts of the world," WMO Secretary-General

The El Niño phenomenon is characterized by the abnormal warming of sea temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean and below-normal rainfall

preventive measures such as practicing good hygiene and healthy lifestyle Social distancing also applies in order to avoid the transmission of the diseases most especially in crowded places

According to the DOH “Our passengers should exercise caution because there are already existing cases (of walking pneumonia) It is good to have our (face) masks, although the Department of Health has not issued any directive But for the security and safety of our passengers, we would encourage them that they would also protect themselves,”

Pagtaasngheatindex,mga kasongpangkalusugan, tutukanattuldokan!

Init no… kaya pa ba?

As for the monitoring of the Epidemiology Bureau, there were no cases of outbreak in the Philippines

Let us adhere to stringent hygiene practices and conscientiously follow prescribed safety protocols With this, we can fortify our communities against potential outbreaks We must break the cycle and prevent the past from repeating itself

El Niño occurs every 2-7 years, usually after La Niña, and can last up to 8 months

This is why the WMO stresses the importance of international cooperation in preparing for and mitigating the potential impacts of this weather phenomenon Researchers are actively studying the evolving patterns of the El NiñoSouthern Oscillation to enhance predictive models and better understand its long-term implications

Summer months na naman at nagpaparamdam na ang bagsik ng tag-init dala ng direktang sikat ng araw Ready na ba ang mga swimsuit at salbabida para sa matagal nang pinaplanong outing ng pamilya? Handa na ba ang lahat na kulayan ang drawing ng barkada? Pwes, ilang araw na lang at maisasabuhay na ng bawat isa ang mga planong matagal nang pinagkukwentuhan, dahil bakasyon na!

Ngunit hindi pa man pormal na natatapos ang taong panuruan ay nais na ng lahat na tapusin na ito lalo pat hindi na normal ang ibinabatong sikat ng araw Itinuturing na ng ilan na tila umuulan na ng apoy sa sobrang init ng panahon Ano pa at sinang-ayunan ito ng Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAG-ASA) na ang init na natatanggap natin mula sa araw o ang heat index ay hindi na normal sa paglipas ng mga araw

Ayon sa PAG-ASA, ang pagtungtong ng init ng panahon mula 42ºC hanggang 51ºC ay maituturing nang nasa “danger category” lalo pa’t marami nang posibleng kapahamakan ang maaaring mangyari Ang pagtaas ng heat index ay isang indikasyon upang isuspinde ang pasok sa iba’t ibang paaralan sa bansa, bunsod na rin ng pagtaas ng kaso ng mga naiuulat na pagkahilo at pagkawala ng malay ng mga empleyado at estudyante sa mga pampubliko at pribadong paaralan

Naranasan mo na bang mabilad sa ilalim ng init ng araw o mamalagi nang matagal na panahon sa matataas na temperatura? Alam mo bang ang iyong katawan ay maaaring mag overheat at magresulta nang kondisyon na tinatawag na heat stroke? Ang Pilipinas ay isang tropikal na bansa na nakakaranas ng malalakas na bagyo at matinding heat waves Sa panahon ng tag- init ay dumarami ang mga taong nakararanas ng mga summer diseases Isa na rito ang heat stroke na karaniwan sa mga lugar kung saan ang temperatura ay umaabot ng 40 degrees celcius o mahigit pa Dahil sa heat stroke, ang katawan ng tao ay nawawalan ng kakayahang mapalamig ang sarili Ang karaniwang biktima nito ay ang mga

naglalaro sa labas o field

Ang mga sintomas ng heat stroke ay labis na pagkapagod resulta ng mababang blood pressure at blood volume pagkahimatay at labis na pagpapawis

Wastong kaalaman at tamang hakbang sa pagresponde sa mga biktima ng heat stroke ang kailangan sapagkat maaaari itong mangyari kanino man at itinuturing na medical emergency dahil sa napapanahon nitong pag-atake

Ilan sa mga sintomas ng mga kaugnay na sakit sa tag-init ay pagkapagod, pagkahilo/ pagkawala ng malay, sakit ng ulo, pagsusuka/pagduduwal, heat stroke, at marami pang iba Inaabisuhan ng Department of Health (DOH) ang mga makakaranas nito na humanap ng lilim at magpahinga, magsuot ng manipis na kasuotan uminom ng maraming tubig, at kumunsulta sa malapit na doktor

Professor Petteri Taalas said in his statement

"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard "

A famous quote of Tim Notke highlighting the unwavering dedication of athletes on their long journey towards the pinnacle of success Talent alone is insufficient without effort and without sacrifice while hard work itself makes up for the lack of talent Talent is simply talent when passion is dead In the realm of sports, talent is incomplete a mere step when blood, sweat, and tears aren’t shed

Behind the success of their innate abilities and resolve, athletes arent the image we look up to overnight Skill and passion were their foundation before they stood tall on the podium surrounded by the roaring cheers of the crowd Thus skill cannot be

“Ipakita mo kung sino ka!”

Opisyal nang idineklara ni Sir Milaner R Oyo-a, dating punongguro ng San Policarpo National High School, ang pagsindi ng pinakahihintay na Pakusganay 2023 o mas kilala sa tawag na Intramurals 2023 Ang programa ay nag-alab sa Bulwagan ng Brgy San Policarpo, alas-tres ng hapon, Oktubre 13

Sa kasagsagan ng programa, dinakma ng Blue Lynx ang Best Attire Special Award Habang ang mga wagi naman

harnessed and dreams aren’t reached without sweat running from exhaustion and tears pouring from loss

The journey of an athlete towards success, towards their coveted achievements, isn’t a smooth path it is full of obstacles and hindrances The long road was never easy for them to drive by Before they reach their final destination, they sacrifice their physique, mentality, their time, and their energy for they know that at the end of a thorny path comes a floral paradise

There is no denial that athletes have a constant fear of disappointment and loss every athlete has it But fear holds back potential fears become limits while abilities exceed limits when one does not fear the fear itself they soon reach the top and eventually

Walang ibang pinatunayan ang Calbayog 5 Red Unicorns kundi ang kanilang galing at polidong estilo, matapos mairehistro ang, 2-0, kontra Calbayog 3 Green Strikers, sa kasagsagan ng kampeonatong laro ng Sepak Takraw (Secondary), Calbayog City Athletic Association Meet 2023 ginanap sa Gadgaran Integrated School nitong Disyembre 20

Noong CCAAM 2022 'di nabigong maibulsa ng Red Unicorns ang ginto –bunsod upang tumuntong sa panrehiyong pampalakasan Hindi nagbago ang ihip ng nakaraan bagkus patuloy nilang pinuksa ang strikers na nakaharang sa daan, sa tulong ng 21-19, 21-18 iskor ng unang regu, at 21-15, 14-21, 15-11 sa ikalawa

“Nakaramdam kami ng pressure because we have to defend the title kay we are the defending champion, that is why we have to play hard and do our best,” ani Richard Asis, kanilang tagapagsanay

become the top However, to be at the top is to consistently earn merits to remain at the top The journey doesn’t end when the competition is over it is everlasting A passionate competitor does not stop whether they win or lose a podium finish A sportsman continues to work their fingers to their bones, regardless of the possibility of falling off from the spotlight they strived to achieve

For this upcoming Eastern Visayas Regional Athletic Association the qualifying athletes of San Policarpo NHS continuously and rigorously improve themselves, going for an extra mile day by day

sa Songs Yell & Chant Competition ay ang Black Wolf na Second Runner-Up, Blue Lynx na First Runner-Up, at ang nagkampeong mala-kulog na dagundong ng Green Mantis

Disiplinado? Panalo!

Are academic ambitions superior to athletic aspirations, or vice versa?

There is no denying the emphasis placed on academic achievements Society lauds top grades academic accolades, and scholarly pursuits However, in the race to excel academically, the spotlight often dims on athletes' incredible talents and skills

We all root for our athletes applaud their prowess, and dream of their regional or national success Yet, there is a balancing act they must perform –one that involves not only perfecting their game but also excelling in academics

The thing though is we must not forget that athletes are not just individuals adept at physical activities; they are strategic thinkers disciplined practitioners, and team players They exhibit intelligence in the form of physical prowess resilience and mental fortitude skills that are equally valuable in the future

Undoubtedly the perks of being a student-athlete are numerous Opportunities for scholarships and potential varsity positions await those who excel in both sports and

academics

When athletes play sports they show a kind of smarts that is about being strong, not giving up, and staying focused These qualities are not just useful in the game, they also help in real life – knowing how to plan, being strong when things get tough and handling pressure

The ideal academic ecosystem does not favor one pursuit over another Instead of creating a dichotomy between academic ambitions and athletic aspirations, we should create an inclusive environment that values all forms of talent The ideal academic ecosystem embraces both pursuits, and a society that honors and supports diverse abilities truly thrives

The dispute between academic ambitions and athletic aspirations should not be a contest of superiority

A student who excels in the classroom can also thrive on the field, and vice versa As individuals, we must appreciate the multifaceted nature of human potential With that, we will pave the way for a society that truly thrives on diversity and inclusivity
