An annual Tradition of Morale and Celebration



The 117th celebration of the annual High School Day of the Ilocos Sur National High School was held on the date March 2, 2019. The celebration this year took longer than expected, but nonetheless it still had the High School Day spirit that it always had. This celebration is held every year, it starts off with a parade with all the classes of the school that circle back to the campus. During the parade, the students are expected to be in their best behavior as to not embarrass their adviser and their classroom as well as the school. During the parade, every grade level is expected to wear an attire that is intended to be their "dance attire" that they wear during a showcasing of dance performances that is also part of the celebration.

The High School Day Celebration held this year was nothing out of the ordinary, not including the longer time it took to finish. The dance performances weren't held immediately after the parade this year, instead they gave different awards beforehand. The celebration may be repetitive, but it's always a thrill to wait for every year. The celebration that takes place may not be grand or breath taking, but it's still entertaining and is hoped to continue for years to come.

Celebrating an annual tradition for the 117th time can be considered an honor honestly speaking. It's a time honored tradition, and being part of it has a type of aesthetic feeling to it, it may not be exciting as some would expect but at the bottom line of things, it's not all that bad.

Letter to the President

First Name: Fernando Miguel Last Name:Rabino Email Address: Fernandomigrabino3@gmail.com Subject:Poverty Message: Dear Mr. President, I am a 10th grade student, studying at Ilocos Sur National High School in Vigan City. i live currently in Poblacion Sta. Catalina Ilocos Sur. This letter is about the poverty people are facing in the country. I am not writing to you in regards on my own financial status, rather I'd like to talk about the people forced to sleep in the streets and are broke. i know this shouldn't be constantly blamed on the government cause you did not have part in the suffering of these people, this is more of the effect of irresponsible parenting, but i can't help but write about this topic to to you. Soon after you became President, you worked hard to eradicate a problem going on for years now, however, why didn't you focus on helping the people in the streets just as much as you killed humans for drug usage? You should be aware that drug p...

Why we celebrate Independence Day

Image
                                 Independence day, more commonly known as the day of freedom in the Philippines. As the name suggests, we celebrate it, for the sole reason of claiming freedom after a long period of time, but is that really the case?                  Independence day may be the day we celebrate freedom, but more importantly , we celebrate all the National Heroes who "fought" for this freedom. All their efforts, pain and their bravery, though this single day we remember their heroic deeds and offer our utmost respect for them. That is why, on this day we should be excited, not cause of a no school/no work day, but a day where people who couldn't go to school fought, for us to experience what we have today.                  Independence day is our soul tribute to the fallen Heroes of the P...

President Duterte: S.O.N.A. 2018

Image
                        On July 23, 2018, President Duterte made his third SONA, which was his shortest SONA with a span of 48 minutes which was beyond his promise 35 minutes due to a couple of remarks he did during his speech. Compared to his previous SONA where he  went off-script with a long-winded tirade against critics in a speech that lasted two hours, Duterte in 2018 stuck mostly to his prepared speech without the usual expletives.               He talked about the main topics he'd prepared for his speech, he mainly talked about the unrelenting drug war, stating that it was far from over.  Duterte rants against illegal drugs and how it ruins lives but does not cite specific numbers on how his administration's anti-drug war addressed this problem. He had promised to end this problem within 6 months. This is very concerning, seeing as how the possibility of more peop...
