Tick Tock: Kalamidad Paghandaan, Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan


"A fit, healthy body - that is the best fashion statement" 
- Jess C. Scott

As we hear the ticking of the clock every second, every minute and hour, some people especially children suffer undernourishment. This year, July 2014, DepEd again celebrates Nutrition Month with the theme "Kalamidad Paghandaan, Gutom at Malnutrisyon Agapan". 


The climate today indeed affects our health: storms and hurricanes. Climate change, one that causes people not to get the enough food they needed. For example, when people experience climate change, crops are withered and washed away, what will the people eat when there is no available source of vegetables and healthy foods. And because of these instances, the so called “junk foods” and others popped out in the story and act as a superhero for us not to starve, we eat without even thinking the possible effects, specifically the negative effects of it. So we need to take care of our health because it’s for our own good and future also to stop the undernourishment. We can puzzle out the problem of malnutrition if we are cognizant.


          In our society today, we need to be prepared always, we need to be prepare for the calamity that may occur, so we can prevent hunger and malnutrition.

Letter to the President: Together We Will Rise Again


Ilocos Sur National High School
Vigan City, Ilocos Sur
July 1 2014 


Honorable Benigno Simeon Aquino III 
President of the Republic of the Philippines 


Sir: 

        "Action speaks louder than words." True enough. Greetings Mr. President! I'm so glad to have an opportunity like this. There’s so many words that I want to squiggle in this post sir. First, I would like to introduce myself, I am Phaula Louisse Catura of Vigan City.

          First of all, I bet you know what’s happening in our country today, right sir? For me, it’s not like yesterday. Yesterday that used to have curfew hours and a strict country but can above others. And today is like a whole new world, full of corruption and crimes. How can you prevent these kinds of things sir? Being the President of the Philippines is indeed a hard job, but you ran for that position sir and we gave you are trust to rule our country, as you’ve said “Kayo ang boss ko”. But where is now that promise of yours sir? Where is now your action? Will it be only stick to the words again? Another issue sir is the well-known Napoles Case. So what can you say about this sir? I think it's almost 1 year for that case and up until now, it is not yet done. So many extra scenes. Another one  is the VIP treatment of some of the senators in jail. Why is that so sir? I think it’s unfair for the other people who are non-government. After all we all live in the same world, so why give VIP treatments to them? Where’s the word “fair” to that sir? Gone. 

          But on the other hand sir, thank you for the things you’ve done for the Philippines. We are waiting for your action sir. To make Philippines shine again and rise among the others. Once again, mabuhay Mr. President! And together we will rise again! 


Sincerely yours,
Phaula Louisse Catura
