Science for the People: Enabling Technologies for Sustainable Development

The science month is celebrated every September. The science club created an activities, contests, and exhibit that is all about science. Their activities are: Ginoo and Bb. Kalikasan, Himig Kalikasan, Battle of Bottles, Sci trix, Sci fight, and more. This science month encourages us to widen our knowledge about the things that are connected to science, the things that have science. All the things that we see or use has a science in it. Just like the electricity, rocks, plants, and so on.

Their theme "Science for the People: Enabling Technologies for Sustainable Development" promotes awareness on the technologies that can help us to sustain development. Just like what Edward Teller said, "The science of today is the Technology of tomorrow." It means that the benefit of technology is that it helps people to do what they want to do. It helps the people to be creative and productive. It let the people to learn things they didn't think they could learn before. And if we think about the future, we all want a better future.

SCHOOL IS COOL

The Happy Schools Movement encourages students that school can be a happy place. That school is an enjoyable place to study. Happy Schools Movement wants to inform us that school is where students can freely express themselves and promote learning in an easy yet effective way. It helps the students to have fun while studying, to not get bored. It helps to catch the students' interest in studying.

Happy Schools Movement held at Vigan Convention Center. It has stations: for Math, Science, MAPEH, ESP, Filipino, AP, English, Mother Tongue, and more. In each station, you can get some informations in a happy way. And that's what I like in Happy Schools Movement, it allow us to have fun and enjoy. They didn't made us feel the pressure and difficulty in learning.

School is not just for learning, it is also for fun and enjoyment. It is a must to take care the students physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. If the school have a happy and friendly atmosphere, all the students will be excited every time they come to school. Always remember that School is Cool!

Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa Isang Bansang Filipino

Ang tema ng Buwan ng Wika ngayong 2019 ay Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa Isang Bansang Filipino. Nailaan ang Buwan ng Wika sa Agosto bilang pagpapaunlad, pagpapahalaga, at pagpapayaman para sa mga katutubong wika sa bansa. Ang tema ay nakasentro sa wikang katutubo. Wikang katutubo na dapat aya ting pangalagaan. May walong katutubong wika dito sa Pilipinas, ito ay ang: Tagalog, Iloko, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Waray, Kapampangan, Bikol, at Pangasinan.

 Ang layunin ng pagdiriwang sa Buwan ng Wika ay upang madagdagan ang kamalayan ng mga Pilipino ukol sa kanilang wika. Ito rin ay upang mahikayat ang mga mamamayang Pilipino na sumali sa mga aktibidad na may kinalaman sa ating wika. At higit sa lahat ay upang maipakita nila sa mga mamamayang Pilipino kung gaano kahalaga ang ating katutubong wika.

Sa panahon ngayon, ilan sa mga kabataan ang hindi na gumagamit ng kanilang katutubong wika. Mas pinipili na nilang gamitin at pag-aralan ang mga ibang wika. Kaya mahalaga ang pagdiriwang natin ng Buwan ng Wika para ipaalala sa kanila na dapat nating pahalagahan at gamitin ang ating wika.
