A Letter to President Bongbong Marcos: Great Expectations (and Even Greater Disappointment)

Dear President Bongbong Marcos,

    What a pleasure it has been to witness your leadership. Honestly, I never expected much from you in the first place. You've consistently proved that my already very low expectations were set far too high. Do you even deserve to hold your position?

These allegations about electoral fraud, human rights issues, and your family's lavish lifestyle are heartwarming. It's as if you've gone above and beyond to show that personal gain is your top priority, and serving the people is a distant afterthought. Ang galing mo, Mr. Marcos!

And, of course, your alleged involvement in corruption, tax evasion, and misusing public funds – it's like you've written a manual on how not to lead. One can't help but wonder if your moral compass got lost along the way and was replaced with a GPS leading to scandal.

The potential consequences of your actions are truly astonishing. You're turning our once-respected nation into a global laughingstock. Who needs international investments and relationships when we can have a leader who redefines the term "questionable reputation"?

The evidence supporting these allegations is so clear that I can only applaud your consistency in grabbing headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Your family's connection to human rights abuses and corruption, your questionable policies, and your relentless pursuit of power through protests have brought the nation together in a chorus of frustration and anger. It's almost as if you've orchestrated a grand performance of disappointment.

The disappointment is beyond measure, and it's high time you step up and take responsibility for your actions. We, the people, deserve better.

With all my affection,

Adoc, Lyka Jane N.

The Canvas of Growth

    In the journey of self-discovery, the term "perfectly imperfect" encapsulates what best describes me. Much like a well-rounded student report card, my academic path exhibits a mix of accomplishments and areas where growth is needed. This blend of strengths and weaknesses serves as a testament to my resilience and adaptability within the ever-evolving landscape of education. Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way, and it's in those imperfections that I've found my strength. Just as a piece of art gains character from its flaws, I believe that my imperfections are the brushstrokes that paint the canvas of my unique identity. They remind me that I'm a work in progress, constantly evolving and learning from my experiences.      One thing of being perfectly imperfect in a scholastic environment is my ability to seamlessly balance academic rigor with a fervent pursuit of extracurricular activities. I've consistently dedicated myself to my studi

Growth Over Change

               I don't really buy into the whole idea of change. Honestly, it sounds a bit like chasing after a shooting star – dazzling but elusive. Instead, I'm all about growth. It's the kind of progress that's more like tending to a plant than flipping a switch. So, here we are, on the brink of 2024, and while everyone's chanting "New Year, New Me," I'm more inclined to steer clear of grand gestures. Let's keep it real and explore some down-to-earth resolutions that align with the belief in steady, meaningful growth.                The first pitstop on this road of growth – the art of saying no. Honestly, I've always been skeptical about the whole "change overnight" deal. Instead, I'm leaning into the idea of setting boundaries and learning to say no when needed. It's not about a radical transformation; it's about growing into the person who knows when to hit pause, preserving energy for what truly matters.

Capturing Change Through the Lens of Responsibility

     In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, 'You must be the change you want to see in the world.' As we mark National Clean Up Month and World Clean and Green Week, we confront a critical problem: environmental degradation. Our actions, or lack thereof, have disrupted the natural balance and exposed us to natural disasters.      Through a photo blog, we showcase our commitment to disaster prevention and environmental conservation. Join us on this visual journey to understand the urgent need for change and the role we all play in ensuring a cleaner, greener future. 1. Coastal Clean-up       Here's a photo of our Science and YES-O club officers, including me, along with our dedicated teachers, participating in a coastal clean-up. We believe in the importance of preserving our coastal areas to protect marine life and prevent pollution. 2.
