Reflection

1. What are the discoveries/learning that I have learned or gained?

                The discoveries that I have learned are all about the history of Internet which different inventors are now familiar to me. We also learned everything about blogs. All of us have our own blogs now and we even made posts. It was very helpful to us, students, who are illiterate when it comes to technology.

2. What are the problems/challenges that I have encountered?

                The problems/challenges I have encountered in learning are those that are related to memorizing the different acronyms and their meanings. It must have been the casue of my score in our examination, which is low. Another is that it is very difficult to make a post especially when we don't know the subject and don't know what to write/compose.

3. How did I address these challenges?

                 I was able to pass these challenges by taking it as a challenge for me to strive harder in my subject, by asking help and guidance from the Lord and by trying my best to study my lessons.

President Benigno Simeon Aquino III's Fourth SONA

President Benigno Simeon “PNoy” Aquino III delivered his fourth State of the Nation Address in Batasang Pambansa Complex, Quezon City on July 22, 2013 with the theme, “Sa Gitna ng Daang Matuwid.”

           The address was the longest SONA he had delivered compared to his SONA before. It started at exactly 4:03 PM and ended at 5:46 PM, receiving 88 times of applause from Government officials, media and others who attended in the address. In my own opinion, President Aquino was successful in sending the complete development of his administration and getting the trust of the Filipino people in the government, and his SONA demonstrated the confidence he has with his actions. However, I thought that the speech was too long, I felt that he delivered all he wanted to say like the Cybercrime Act, passage of Freedom of Information bill,and the P10 Billion pork scam. He should’ve mentioned about the scam with a reduction of time for anti-corruption is his main reason in the”Daang Matuwid proposal.

               And we all know that the President can’t change the country all by himself, and about his theme, it is very admirable. We must support his plans so that we can completely feel the act of economic expansion of his administration. Also, we must stay full of life in influencing him to be real to his promise of shortening corruption that is consuming most of our government’s funds.

"Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan"

          The 39th Nutrition Month celebration focuses on hunger with the theme "Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama nating wakasan" (Hunger and Malnutrition, Let's end it together). The theme is directing to increase consciousness on hunger issues, and actions to lessen hunger and malnutrition, encourage stakeholders to contribute to addressing hunger issues, and support for stronger political action to end hunger.

                   It is focused on hunger because of two reasons, first, hunger is one of the worst types of deficiency because people do not enjoy their necessary right to food. And second, hunger rate in the Philippines has worsened in recent years. What do we mean by hunger? It is a state in which people do not get enough food to provide the nutrients needed for fully productive, active and healthy lives. Prolonged hunger can lead to malnutrition and even death. When we travel to Africa, we will encounter numerous people who are malnourished, especially children, who must be the ones to have better production.

                   That is why this celebration wants to stop hunger and malnutrition. When we say "Let's end it together," we in truth end it. There is no hunger when people have physical access to nutritious food which meets their nutritional needs for active and healthy lives.
