A place where we live. A place where we breath and live life to the fullest. But without it, what will happen to us? Of course, we die. We all know that we die when the Earth dies. But, what are we still doing? Why are we still destroying instead of preserving and protecting it?

Activities such as coastal clean up, battle of bottles, tree planting, quiz bee, and many more are implemented during the celebration. Through these, students are getting aware of what is happening. It also improves the skills and talents of the students through these activities such as quiz bee, sci-tricks, and other. The highlight of the Science Month Celebration is the "Ginoo at Binibining Kalikasan" where contestants serve as an example and role models to their fellow students. By teaching the students on keeping the environment clean, we can bring back our nature.

People is the reason why the environment is being destroyed. But people can also be the reason why the environment will be better. Let us be part of the solution and not a part of the pollution. The Earth is all that we have. As time goes by, Earth is being destroyed and one day, if we don't move, Earth will be gone. The Earth we used to live on will be forever gone. And without it, we will die. We can't have a family, we can't have our dream house, car, and work.  And if no one will make a move, then who will? If not now, then when? If we really want to protect the earth, why not do it now? Are we gonna regret if things are too late? Tick-tock-tick-tock.

Eat. Sleep. Study. Repeat.


As time goes by, students see the school as a jail, the classes are the cells, teachers are the security guards and students are the prisoners. According to them, school isn't about learning anymore. It's all about memorizing and plainly listening. That's why, the Department of Education (DepEd) thought of a way to inspire the students to study hard.

The Department of Education (DepEd)-Region I had launched the "Happy Schools Movement" held at the Vigan Convention Center on May 20,2019. Happy Schools Movement is a movement which advocates to promote that every school should be a better and enjoyable place for students to learn. Schools should be a child-friendly place where students isn't afraid to express themselves. It is also in line with the Child Protection Policy Act of 2012 known as protecting children and students from abuse, violence, bullying, discrimination, exploitation and other forms of abuse. The movement also aims to implant in the minds of students that school is not just a place for learning but also a place of fun and enjoying what they are doing. A positive school climate can help decrease bullying, discrimination, and anxiety and likewise increase students' achievements and motivation to learn and improve their well-being.

Our school children now will soon rule the future. That's why we need to help them in becoming leaders with happiness in their thoughts, works, and actions. "The youth is the hope of our country," Doctor Jose Rizal once said. If this happens, no children will be left behind and what a wonderful and fun world it would be for everyone.
