Image result for un 2019 theme"          The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages in order to raise global attention on the critical risks confronting indigenous languages and its significance for sustainable development, reconciliation, good governance, and peace building.

         Languages is very important to us because it plays a crucial role in our daily lives. Languages is not only a tool for communication, but also self-expression, cultural history, tradition, and memory. But unfortunately, languages all over the world continue to disappear at an alarming rate. That is why the United Nation declared 2019 the International Year of Indigenous Languages in order to raise awareness to all the people that we should appreciate the important contribution of our languages to our world's rich cultural diversity.

        Cesar Chavez once said "Our language is the reflection of ourselves. A language is an exact reflection of the character and growth of its speakers."

In the past, there is no such thing like earthquake drill. A lot of people died because they have no idea and they don’t know what to do when an actual earthquake occurs so it is such a good thing that National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council implemented this program so that students, parents, and staff will gain a knowledge on how to respond to the complications of an actual earthquake. In every schools, they are teaching every student on how to prepare before an earthquake occur, but some of the students are not taking it seriously when they are performing earthquake drill. Some of them are on their phones, laughing, talking to each other, and more.  They don't realize the importance of this activity because this activity which we called earthquake drill, is for their own sake, their own safety.              This is a very important activity to all of us as it would prevent us in panicking, whic...

The purpose of celebrating “Nutrition Month” is to encourage every individual to have a healthy lifestyle, healthy eating, and more.
