Filipino Resiliency

Philippines is one of the 'disaster prone countries' in the world. It is located at the Pacific Ring of Fire, where active volcanoes and found and strong earthquakes occur, and at the east side of the Pacific Ocean, where strong typhoons form. But no matter how severe a disaster is,  Filipinos are resilient with these catastrophes. Resilience is the ability of the Filipinos to become stronger and more successful after an unfortunate events.

When a strong disaster comes to the Philippines, resiliency flows over the Filipinos. Even how devastating a disaster is, Filipinos are patient, very patient. Slowly but surely, they fix things that are destroyed by the disaster. They develop the country persistently. One example is the Typhoon Yolanda that struck the country in the year 2013. Many lives lost and many properties were destroyed. Despite all of these situations, the Filipinos remained resilient and they made things back to normal and progressive with patience.

So resilience is the key to success. Slowly but surely developing and fixing everything. Resiliency, made the Filipinos successful.

Open Letter to President Duterte

24 July 2018

His Excellency
Rodrigo Roa Duterte
President-Republic of the Philippines
Malacanang Palace, Manila

Dear Mr. President,
   Good day sir! I'm a student from Ilocos Sur National High School. I hope that you will read this letter  that I sent to you even though you have a lot of appointments and meetings to attend. For the first two years of your term, you did a really great job. You lead this country in a nice way.
    I just want to tell you that your campaign against drugs isn't going well since there are reports on Extra Judicial Killings. Instead of raiding houses to capture these drug addicts, just do the buy bust operation, so there will be no person harmed. Just as you said on your State Of The Nation Address yesterday, you care for human lives. Another  one, we're having an issue about your previous speeches that contain swear words that we shouldn't heard. I think you should keep your speeches PG. And one thing, about the issue in West Philippine Sea. I think you should have a meeting with the Chinese president since you already befriended him. Well, this are the few things that I mentioned about your term. I really appreciate your leadership and you should keep up the good work and I want to see you in person.
     Daghang salamat  and a good day to you sir!

Respectfully Yours,
Avrylle William Pangilinan

Independence Day, the unforgettable event

     Independence Day is one of the events that Filipinos celebrate every year. It is celebrated every 12th of June. Independence Day was celebrated by the Filipinos because they got their freedom from the hands of the Spaniards who ruled the Philippines for 333 years.
     Independence Day is celebrated, not just to celebrate freedom but also to give importance to our heroes and ancestors who suffered, sacrificed and died, just to get the freedom of our country.
      At present, it seems that the Philippine Independence Day means a lot to the Filipinos. They give importance to their ancestors who risked their just to save the land from the Spanish colony.
