Leader of Integrity


When I look into the life of President Elpidio Quirino, what stands out to me the most is how he rose from a simple beginning to become one of the country’s leaders during a very difficult period. He was born in Vigan and didn’t grow up with many privileges, yet he pushed himself to finish his studies. Knowing this makes his story feel relatable, he’s someone who worked hard for every opportunity he got. His early struggles clearly shaped the kind of leader he would become.


Before he became president, Quirino slowly built his career in public service. He wasn’t the type who suddenly appeared in politics; he really went through different roles, from being a teacher to a lawyer, then eventually a congressman and senator. He also helped draft the 1935 Constitution, which shows how much he understood the country’s needs even before stepping into higher positions. His journey tells me that leadership is something you grow into through patience and experience.


As president, Quirino took charge at a time when the Philippines was still recovering from World War II. I can imagine how overwhelming it must have been to rebuild a country that was nearly destroyed. He focused on restoring the economy, improving infrastructure, and maintaining peace despite challenges like the Hukbalahap rebellion. Even though his administration had criticisms, it’s clear that his efforts helped stabilize the nation when stability was badly needed.


In the end, what I admire about President Quirino is his resilience. He wasn’t perfect, but he stepped up when the country needed someone strong and experienced. His life reminds us that great leadership can come from humble beginnings and that real progress often requires quiet, consistent work.

CLEAN UP DRIVE

Image
Our community joined forces in a clean-up drive to promote a healthier and greener environment. Everyone, young and old, helped out in picking up trash—it was a simple act that made our community shine brighter. The clean-up drive reminded us that throwing garbage properly is not just a rule, but a way of showing love for our home. With every piece of trash collected, we felt that we were giving back to nature and making our surroundings more livable. Beyond cleaning, the drive brought smiles, teamwork, and the spirit of bayanihan alive in our community.

ICT REFLECTION

My ICT Reflection This school year, I learned a lot in our ICT class is not just about computers, but also about patience, teamwork, and trying my best. From learning about how the internet started, to helping with Nutrition Month, and even making my own blog, it was a fun and sometimes challenging experience. One topic I really found interesting was the history of the internet. Before, I thought the internet had just always been there. But I learned it actually started way back in the late 1960s with something called ARPANET, which was used by researchers to share information. Then in the 1980s, email and domain names were added, making it easier to talk online. In the 1990s, Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web, which made websites and browsers possible. After that, the internet grew fast and now we have social media, smartphones, cloud storage, and Web 3.0. Learning all this made me realize how far technology has come and how much we use it e...
