Building A Resilient Philippines

     Resilience is the number one priority we should have as filipinos, especially since we are most prone to disasters and challenges. Throughout the years, our nation's adaptability has been tested. This blog explores strategies for a more robust Philippines. 

    Preparing for disasters is a great way to build resilience. Investing in an advanced technology that could warn us about upcoming disasters. Empower local communities with training, drills, and shelters. construction of buildings, roads and grids that would withstand natural forces. These are how we can be resilient to disasters.

    Resilience can also be closer to be attained through improved healthcare. Healthcare quality should also be ensured for all citizens, regardless of status. Medical advancements should also be prioritized for better response to crisis situations. Supply chain management's efficiency and coordinated healthcare should be considered.

    Collective effort is needed for resilience in the Philippines to be achieved. By focusing on preparedness and healthcare, we pave the way for a stronger future. Together we can weather any storm and emerge stronger.

Quarter 2's Reflection

      As another quarter passes, so does time. Who we were in the past is wildly different form who we are now. As students its our job to retain the knowledge we have learned and to honor our teachers efforts to guide us into our future.                                     https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_editors.asp     Our quota for quarter 2 was html.

   https://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/science-at-home/diy-science-fun/the-science-of-fireworks    As a new year starts, as they say a new person is also born. This doesn't particularly imply childbirth, it more so means the rebirth of someone who wants to improve themselves. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/holidays/g4069/new-years-quotes/      Last year I had a rude awakening to my situation. I am 15 years old, about to choose a strand that will choose my career and life in the future. I was shocked and completely frozen.
