My holiday vacation is “okay lang”

During the holidays I spent quality time with my family. We had fun even though we didn’t celebrate other occasions because of the pandemic that is happening. We just watched movies all day with the family.

The ideas from the author are very clear and are related to each other. There are many supporting details but there is only one main point that the author wants to convey. It goes only to one conclusion and one main point which is the Filipino’s love of country as well as its delicacies. Reminds us that although it is good to discover new things and to experience new customs, we must always remember our roots, for it molded us into the person we are today.

How do you keep yourself safe online?

I avoid sharing personal information because it’s easy to get comfortable with sharing a little too much personal information online. But you may be surprised at how much damage cybercriminals can do with just a little bit of information. To keep it safe, never share identifying details, like your full name, address, or financial information with strangers you meet online. You should also be careful about the usernames you create for websites — there’s no need for them to include your real name. And be sparing with the amount of information you share in online surveys or forms. Most of the time, little to no personal information is genuinely needed to complete them. Staying safer online can feel like a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’re still learning how to protect yourself against online predators or scams, just treat interactions online the same way you would treat interactions with a stranger walking down the street. That is, you probably wouldn’t open anything they give you, hand them your credit card, or lead them to your home address. The same rules can help you stay safer online.

Philippines' COVID-19 cases climb by 1,583 to 528,853

The Department of Health (DOH) on Tuesday reported 1,583 new COVID-19 cases, or a total of 528,853 confirmed coronavirus infections in the P

According to the Department of Health (DOH) on Tuesday reported 1,583 new COVID-19 cases, or a total of 528,853 confirmed coronavirus infections in the Philippines. Thirteen testing laboratories failed to submit their results on time. Since last week, the DOH has also stopped disclosing the list of areas with the most number of new cases. The agency recorded additional 67 COVID-related deaths and 39 recovered patients. This is the 2nd straight day that the additional deaths are higher than the new recoveries. With 10,874 total fatalities and 487,611 total recoveries, the country's active cases stood at 30,368, or 5.7 percent of the cumulative total. The 2.06% fatality rate on Tuesday is the highest since August 1, according to the ABS-CBN Data Analytics Team. Meanwhile, of the active infections in the country, 89% have mild symptoms, 5.3% are asymptomatic, 2.7% are in critical condition, 2.5% have severe symptoms, and 0.54% have moderate symptoms. One case was removed from the official tally due to a duplicate entry. Another was also removed after turning out to be a negative result. The DOH also reclassified two cases after finding out that the patients died instead of recovering. There are almost 43.8 million people currently infected with COVID-19 worldwide. Since the start of the pandemic, 103.4 million people have contracted the disease, according to the Johns Hopkins University coronavirus dashboard. Of those, 2.2 million have died and almost 57.4 million have recovered. The Philippines expects the delivery this month of the initial batch of COVID-19 vaccine supplies as it aims to inoculate up to 70 million individuals to achieve herd immunity against the coronavirus.

Summary of an Essay “Where’s the Patis” by Carmen Guerrero Nakpil

It explores the phenomenon of how “travel has become the great Filipino dream.” Filipinos go abroad either to tour foreign landscapes and experience other cultures or to work abroad so that they can give their loved ones a better life. It is a sacrifice that a lot of Filipinos have chosen to make.

A Formalist Approach To Pablo Neruda’s poem "Your Laughter"

This poem has a lot of symbolism and a strong meaning to show the toughness and need of things in life. This poem shows how the happiness of loving can make anything better. This entire poem is about how Pablo loves someone so much, all else in life is meaningless to him. All in all, it was very clear that the main theme of this poem was the search for true love and the effect love has on one person. A person laughs because he/she is happy. This happiness radiates to the people around him/her and creates a cycle of laughter. Seeing laughter and happiness from a loved one would mean the world to someone. Even the simplest actions such as this can brighten someone else’s day. The littlest things may mean so much to someone else, so don’t stop being happy. We are all entitled to our own happiness so we should not be afraid to show it. Laughter is the best medicine for the harshness of life, for yourself, and maybe even for someone else.

"Is it really necessary for students to utilize the use of academic textbook when internet is ready to use?"

For me, using an academic textbook is more necessary although the internet is easily available for everyone. Textbooks are actually more reliable than the sources on the internet. The information in the book stays for years while the information on the internet changes everyday. The internet has so much information, anyone can post anything and we have no idea if it's accurate or not.
