More than Hero, Heart of Philippines




 When we think of the Philippines, one name immediately comes to mind, Dr. Jose Rizal. But he is more than just a face on our bills and monuments. Rizal represents the heart and spirit of the Filipino people, our courage, our love for freedom, and our hope for a better future.


Rizal was a remarkable man. He was a writer, a doctor, an artist, and a thinker. But what truly made him special was his love for his country. Through his books, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, he showed the struggles of Filipinos under Spanish rule. He didn’t fight with weapons, he fought with words, ideas, and knowledge. He wanted people to wake up, to think, and to stand for what is right.


What I admire most about Rizal is how he believed in change through education and courage, not violence. He believed that learning, speaking up, and thinking critically could help the country move forward. Even when it was dangerous, he never stopped standing for justice. In the end, he gave his life for the freedom of the Filipino people. That sacrifice is what makes him a true hero.


Even today, Rizal’s life continues to inspire us. He reminds us to value education, to be brave, and to love our country. Being Filipino means carrying his spirit in our own lives, speaking up, standing for what is right, and doing our part to help our nation grow.


Jose Rizal is not just a hero in history books. He is a reminder of who we are as Filipinos, and who we can become.

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...
