Beacons of Hope, Light, and Progress

By the time we have arrived in this continuously developing world, we are immediately accorded human rights that allow us to live peacefully and rightfully, just like any of us here. With these rights, we are able to survive, develop, participate, and get protected justly. But in this fast-changing world, where most families cannot keep up with the pace of advancement, their rights seem non-existent because their parents are trying to make ends meet so that they have something to use and eat, and with these, some of their rights are being disregarded and violated. This is a widespread issue among Filipino families in our country, and this problem continuously crushes the dreams of our children. This is a problem that needs more attention and prioritization from everyone because it concerns us all. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly, as the saying goes.


In connection with this year's theme for the National Children's Month Celebration, "Kalusugan, Kaisipan, at Kapakanan ng Bawat Bata Ating Tutukan!" aims to inform the general public that we need to be a voice for the children. Our children's rights, such as survival, development, participation, and protection rights, are imperative for their growth in becoming more humane, accountable, and responsible adults in the future. With our never-ending problem with the violation of children's rights, obviously, they cannot answer the problem on their own without our involvement. We need to speak up for them, stand up for them, and spread awareness that their rights must be fulfilled and respected, as they are members of the community and also human beings. We must respect their rights rather than ignore or violate them, as some people do today to children. The children need us today, and, not long enough, we will also need them in the future. Therefore, in order to create a clearer future for them, we need to act now by prioritizing their rights and winning this war for them.
 
Everybody has their own struggles and problems in life, and we are expected to surpass these by ourselves. This might be true for some, but it will never be applicable when it comes to our children. We are supposed to guide these children by helping and guiding them to come up with the correct answer or solution. We are supposed to be the voice of the children, firmly fighting for their rights in society. We must prioritize our children, and they should feel prioritized. These Filipino children are the future of our country. They hold the future in their hands, and we need to support them in carrying its weight. We must keep the flame in their torches burning by supporting them and validating their rights. We must prioritize the rights of our Filipino children for them to be able to fulfill their dreams and endeavors in life. The youth are our only chance for success, and we must not let them down. It is in our hands to decide how we will protect and fight for our children. So, please act and think accordingly for the youth, the future of our beloved country, our bearers of success, and our beacons of hope, light, and progress.

He Who Dares and Dreams

     A normal adolescent that lives a calm and colorful life. That is me. I am David Aeron Y. Arellano, aged 15. I was born at Gabriela Silang General Hospital, now Ilocos Sur Provincial Hospital - Gabriela Silang, in the City of Vigan, Ilocos Sur. I am currently residing at the City of Vigan with my parents and three elder sisters. For my elementary education, I studied at Vigan Nan Chong School and fortunately, I graduated as the Class Valedictorian of our class. For my secondary education, I am currently enrolled at Ilocos Sur National High School, under the Science, Technology, and Engineering program of the institution. Even though I am just a simple teenager normally roaming the historic halls of ISNHS and busy streets of Vigan, there are numerous interesting things people do not know about me.      I am the youngest among us four, and I am the only male sibling my sisters have. I go by different nicknames, “Shoti” when I am around my family, “Ae” wit...

May the Odds Ever Be in Our Favor

     D reaming and expecting what you will be in the next ten years may sound nuts now that we are still in our adolescent years. Some may say, "Enjoy your childhood; you will never be young again when you turn old and wrinkled", or "Don't make haste on other things; just enjoy and have fun at the moment", but we cannot deny the fact that the future can already be foretold and foreshadowed based on our interests, goals, and principles in life.       After a decade, I would see myself as a registered nurse. I imagine myself walking on the corridors and hallways of the hospital or medical center I am working at, wearing my scrubs with a matching stethoscope on my shoulders and a clipboard and pen on my right hand. I have a nameplate on my uniform that says, "David Aeron Y. Arellano, RN", taking pride in the service and dignity my profession holds. I am serving my patients with the best of my abilities and also helping them with the warmest and most carin...

Ciudad Fernandina de Vigan: A Tapestry of Rich Culture and History

Founded in 1572 by Novo-Hispanic conquistador Juan de Salcedo, Vigan sits at the heart of the Heritage Province of Ilocos Sur, standing bright and proud of what it has attained over the past centuries. Our beloved city had witnessed two world wars, and fortunately, its historic houses and image were saved, and it was all because of the love that was shared between Fujiro Takahashi, a captain of the Japanese military, and his significant other, Adela Tolentino, a Bigueña native. At present, the City of Vigan is known for its rich and vibrant culture, history, and heritage, thanks to the Chinese, Spanish, and Mexican influences that were slowly adapted by our ancestors and are now a part of our many customs. As Bigueños, we are proud of what our city has attained. We are thankful for all the blessings God has bestowed upon us Bigueños over the past centuries, and as a manifestation of our genuine thanks to God Almighty, we annually celebrate the grand Vigan City Longganisa Festi...
