  How can we expect the world to grow when our patriarchal society’s decision-makers are all men? And they’re making decisions on behalf of women without even realizing or beginning to comprehend the difficulties that women face in their daily lives. Empowerment is a broad concept, and everyone’s definition is different. However, the general concept of empowerment is to involve those who are frequently left out of decision-making processes. In this scenario, women’s empowerment comes from their inclusion and acceptance in such roles. We can’t all succeed if half of us aren’t allowed to participate, can we? Females are unable to obtain good employment since they have had a low education or no education at all. As a result, they are forced to either stay at home or work for lower pay. As a result, the father is always the family’s breadwinner. As a result, women have a hard time gaining economic autonomy. It Is critical to have “Women empowerment” if we want to see a nation that adva...

  The benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the risks, both known and unknown. Children who contract COVID-19 can become very ill, require hospitalization, and in rare cases, die. Children and teenagers who have COVID-19 may also experience a variety of new, returning, or ongoing health problems. Getting eligible children vaccinated can help prevent them from becoming seriously ill even if they become infected, as well as serious short- and long-term COVID-19 complications. Vaccinating children can also keep them in school and daycare, and allow them to participate in sports, playdates, and other group activities safely. COVID-19 can make children and teenagers of any age extremely ill, necessitating hospitalization in some cases. COVID-19 complications can result in death in rare cases. There is no way to predict how COVID-19 will affect children in advance. Although children with underlying medical conditions are more likely to develop severe COVID-19, healthy children who do...

  The Day of Valor, also known as Araw ng Kagitingan, commemorates the bravery of Filipinos and American soldiers during World War II, when the Japanese occupied the Philippines. On April 9, 1942, Major General Edward P. King of the United States Army was forced to surrender more than 76,000 Filipinos, Chinese, and American soldiers to the Japanese. The soldiers had to hike 90 miles (145 kilometers) to Camp O'Donnell in San Fernando. Thousands of prisoners died during the hike (also known as the Bataan Death March) as a result of starvation, dehydration, and diseases before reaching the camp. Despite the difficulties of defeat, the captured soldiers remained strong, and heroes emerged from the event. The fall of Corregidor was hastened by the surrender of Bataan. However, if the Japanese had not taken this stand, they would have quickly overrun all of the US bases in the Pacific. Bataan forced them to slow down, giving the allies valuable time to prepare for subsequent conflicts su...

            As Asia's only predominantly Catholic nation, the Philippines considers the Lenten Season to be one of the most important religious events. It is during this time that Filipino religiosity is at its peak, as depicted in various traditions, that we practice remembering Christ's journey to the cross.    The Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday, when ashes made from palm branches from the previous year's Palm Sunday are blessed and placed on the devotee's forehead in the shape of a cross while the priest or nun says, "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."      Easter, as we all know, is a joyous occasion. It serves as a reminder to those who are feeling helpless, discouraged, and afraid as a result of pain, problems, and challenges that there is a brighter side to life. Easter is the "light at the end of the tunnel" for those who have been overwhelmed by life's circumstances, including tho...

             The Kannawidan Ylocos event commemorates the establishment of the province of Ilocos Sur. It is a month-long festival that begins the last week of January and finishes the first week of February. It is the Ilocanos' way of thanking the Almighty for not only the many benefits, but also for the province's rich tradition, which includes deep family relationships among the Ilocanos. It is customary for a mass to be celebrated at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral during the festival's opening day. It is followed by a parade around Vigan City of the Patron Saints of the 40 parishes as well as representations of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. Provincial DepEd officials frequently attend the liturgy and parade. The Ilocanos' strong religiosity is on display at this celebration.    The festival focuses largely on Ilocano youngsters. It's because Ilocano culture isn't well-known among the province's younger generations. Inste...
