 Elpidio Quirino


 Elpidio Quirino, the sixth President of the Philippines, was born on November 16, 1890, in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. He came from a humble family—his father was a farmer, and his mother worked as a seamstress. Despite financial struggles, Quirino worked hard in school and eventually earned his law degree from the University of the Philippines in 1915. His early life was marked by perseverance and a strong desire to improve not only his life but also the lives of others.


Quirino started his political journey as a representative of Ilocos Sur in the Philippine Legislature. He later became a senator and played a vital role in drafting the 1935 Philippine Constitution. Over the years, he held key positions such as Secretary of Finance, Interior, and Foreign Affairs under President Manuel Roxas. When Roxas passed away unexpectedly in 1948, Quirino became president, taking on the difficult task of leading a country recovering from the devastation of World War II.

As president, Quirino focused on rebuilding the nation and strengthening the economy. He launched infrastructure projects, promoted industrial and agricultural development, and established the Central Bank of the Philippines to stabilize the economy. He also worked to improve foreign relations and address the Hukbalahap rebellion. Although his presidency faced criticisms, Quirino’s efforts helped the Philippines recover and move forward during a challenging time in its history. His legacy is a testament to his dedication to serving his country.

Climate Change and Resilience of Filipinos

     Many Filipinos’ lives are deeply affected by environmental changes, often caused by a mix of human activities and natural factors. Cutting down forests for farming or development harms ecosystems, reduces wildlife, and increases the chances of floods and soil erosion. Rapid urban growth without proper planning creates overcrowded cities with poor waste, water, and energy systems, leading to pollution and unsafe living conditions.     Climate change worsens these problems. Rising temperatures, stronger typhoons, and longer droughts, water, and livelihoods, especially for farmers and fisher folk. Coastal communities are at risk from rising sea levels, which cause floods and destroy homes and jobs. On top of this, natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions add to the struggles, making it harder for people to recover.     Solutions require urgent action focused on sustainability and resilience. Replanting forests, enforcing stricter env...

2nd Quarter Raeflection

My 2nd Quarter    This quarter has been a journey of learning and self-discovery. I’ve grown not just academically but also personally, gaining a better understanding of my strengths and limits. I realized that I’m capable of handling more than I thought, as long as I stay focused and determined. On the academic side, I picked up new ICT skills, particularly in CSS, which has been both challenging and rewarding. At the same time, I’ve worked on managing my time better, especially when life gets hectic with deadlines and responsibilities. Of course, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. There were moments when I felt completely overwhelmed, especially when juggling multiple deadlines or tackling tough science topics. There were days when I doubted myself, wondering if I could get everything done. These challenges pushed me to my limits but also taught me a lot about resilience. To navigate these tough times, I learned to break things down into smaller, manageable steps. Instead of...
