Be festive and Be safe



The Vigan Festival is a vibrant and lively festival showcasing energetic performances, carnivals, art showcases, and delicious food, but due to Vigan being a Unesco World Heritage City and a prominent tourist spot many people always gather especially during festivals. We can’t just shut down the festival, because closing a festival means turning down Its lavish history and culture that’s been following it for forever. Rules and Restrictions need to be implemented so that we can minimize or forgo the spread of Covid while remaining to enjoy the festival safely.

 


I may suggest the prohibiting of all food stalls and booths, food stall is one of the main suspects of having too many people crowded together eating without mask which increase the risk of the spread of covid. I recommend that the performance, acts, and art exhibit are the ones that should only be open, but even then people should follow the covid guidelines by standing 6 feet apart and occasionally using alcohol and sanitizer. The entrance of these exhibits should not allow people without masks, face shields, and a physical copy of their vaccine card.

 


I have faith that the authorities will handle this event greatly and should monitor this event closely and should always be prepared. The Mayor needs to be aware of all the risks and harm that this event can bring and makes practical and logical decisions based on that. The municipality also needs to provide an abundant amount of alcohol and sanitizer for public use to maintain sanitation. I hope that the Festival will not affect us too great so that we can recover quickly.

A KEY TO AN EFFECTIVE LEARNING

Image
  The Department of education is doing its best to find an alternative or replacement for face-to-face classes. The aim of online or modular classes is to protect the student from the current pandemic. But I think modular or online classes are a downgrade from face to face due to the lack of guidance from teachers and the added distraction of cellphones and household chores.   Some students have an unhealthy work ethic that can affect their health. I’ve heard about students who answer their module all night and then sleep all day without exercise and with an unhealthy diet. I have also gone through this type of work ethic, staying up all night up until 3 am and then sleeping up to 2 pm. Some students and teachers also lack the equipment for a quality education like Internet access, phones, laptops, and printers.   But I appreciate the effort and hard work the teachers put in to our modules just to provide us with proper education. And students are also working hard and le...

To Be a Strong Country

Image
  Merriam-webster describes resilience as being “ able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions ” so I’d argue that the Philippines is already a resilient country because Filipino’s are typically passionate, hardworking, and tough. Since the beginning, the Philippines is always facing natural or man-made calamities. S uch as Typhoons, Earthquakes, Terrorism (Abu Sayyaf), and many more.   What our country truly needs is a good or better government. Our current government right now is competent but we should always strive for a better country. 16.6% of the population of the Philippines or about 17.6 million people is below the poverty line and the increasing dept of Philhealth to hospitals reached an all-time high of 21.1 billion. It increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We need plans and solutions to fix these increasing problems. Our country must pick a deserving and better leader.   I think the older generation is a lot more resilient than this new one...

A Solution For Pollution

  Create a program, clubs, and events that children will attend and participate in in schools.  We must build interest and concern for nature in the younger generation while it's still early.  These clubs must participate in cleaning and tree planting activities and must raise awareness of the deterioration of our planet while trying to find a possible solution to it.   Dep-Ed can also include programs that can help children find a passion that pertains to the protection and study of nature such as conservation scientists, geologists, zoologists, Biologists, and many more. By igniting the passion for protecting the nature of the next generation, the improvement and recovery of the planet can continue for many decades or even centuries to come.   Aside from the children, we must also encourage adults to practice recycling and avoid littering at all costs. Every household should use eco-friendly appliances and avoid vehicles that emit smoke and just use a bike ins...
