SONA 2018, broke the tradition of highlighting the previous year accomplishments but instead the iron-fist leader addressed as a "Father of the Filipinos" and focused on desire and genuine and meaningful change for the people. "CORRUPTION MUST STOP"  This is one of the most famous line of our president. They said that the solution of this problem is all the people of the Philippines, that they must choose wisely during election. But for me its not. Wanna know why? During the election we dont know who is and who is not corrupt so the solution is not with us. The solution is having DISCIPLINE and being RESPONSIBLE of our true leaders. We all know that corruption is one of the biggest problem of our beloved country. People pay a lot of taxes but Philippines is still one of the poor country. Instead of making Philippines progress some of our leaders corrupting money and spend it in their own. President Duterte also mentioned that he has fired several officials tagged

"Ugaliing magtanim sapat na nutrisyon aanihin" for me, the theme means you need to plant vegetable and fruits in your backyards so that you will be physically and mentally healthy. We need to eat nutritious in order to reach the proper nutrition of our body. Proper nutrition is one of the most important element in our everyday life because it gives us energy to do our daily task. As we can see our generation now is far from old and simple life. We are now in modernized generation that they already forget to plant because we already have fast foods where foods foods are very expensive. Whether we admit it or not, we spend a lot of money in fast foods but those have only small nutrition. And according to some research study, our favorite , which is fries, hot dogs, and the other foods that we are eating in fast foods are the killer foods because it is not good in our body. So we need to have our own garden in our house. Some of us don't have wide space in our backyards be

I am Shania Gasmen, a Grade 10 student of Ilocos Sur National High School. I want you to know that I really admire your political will to change our country's problem for the better. You are doing the best that you can to find ways and means. You have a good heart with an arm fist. Just be tactful with your words especially on televised speeches because many young generation are watching and listening. May I request that you allot more funds to the Department of Education to supplement the needs of children, classroom building, increase the salaries of the teachers and for free college education. I am hoping that you may find time to read my simple message to you Mr. President. May the Lord give you good health and guidance to continue good purposes.

Why June 12 is always color red in our calendar? Why we don't have classes and all government offices are close during this day? It's simply because that day is a regular holiday of celebration of the Philippine Independence Day. Philippine Independence Day is one of the biggest holiday in  our country. We always celebrate this event because it symbolizes our freedom. It also symbolizes that we Filipino's are brave because we overcome all the challenges and all the wars. And one of the reason why we are celebrating this holiday is to give respect and gratitude to all our ancestors who fought people/countries who colonized us.  Before and during June 12 a lot of Philippine flags are hanging on the streets and in front of our building and other offices. It shows for our love for our country. Why do we do that practice just only when Independence Day come? We should love our country whether it is Independence Day or not. We should also help our fellow Filipinos to prot
