State of the Nation Address 2013

          State of the Nation Address is a once-a-year report about the President’s accomplishments. Last July 22, 2013, the fourth SONA of President Benigno Simeon “Noy-Noy” Cojuangco Aquino III happened. It was attended by different leaders from different places in the Philippines.

          In the President’s SONA, he discussed the importance of education. He implemented the K to 12 last year and he said the significance of the said program. More classrooms are needed for the K to 12 also with the textbooks and teachers. In Agriculture, the government began to export high quality of rice. He also tackled the increasing number of the beneficiaries of the 4P’s especially the indigent people. With this kind of programs implemented in our country, this can make it a better one to live in.

          President Aquino III has still two left SONA’s and I hope that he can do more things which will help our country a progressive and prosperous one.

Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan

 

              Every year in the month of July, the whole nation leads the celebration of Nutrition Month and this year's theme is "Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan." The Nutrition Month Celebration aims to increase awareness on hunger issues and to let people know more about the importance of good health and nutrition.

               We all know that our nutrition is very important to our daily life. Lack of good health and hunger can lead to malnutrition. Poverty is the main cause of this problem. If this kind of sickness is spread, many people especially children will eventually die. Programs that are being implemented to prevent malnutrition are not enough because there are many people who are suffering with this type of sickness. So the yearly celebration of Nutrition Month is very important to lessen the number of people suffering from malnutrition and hunger. Similar in our school, the Technology and Livelihood Education and ICT Department are giving some activities to help students in having physically fit and healthy bodies. In connection to the Nurtrition Month Celebration, here are some of the activities prepared by the department; Nutri-jingle, Cook Fest, Nutri Quiz and the Food Festival.

        With these kinds of activities, we can help in reducing the number of hungry people and giving more knowledge about the significance of food nourishment and some ways of preventing malnutrition and hunger in our country.
