They're Humans Too

Image
The terms "women empowerment" are made up of two words: "women" and "power." Empowerment is the process of giving someone power or authority. As a result, women's empowerment means giving them control over their own lives. It means that, regardless of discrimination, women should have equal opportunity in all disciplines. In this article about women's empowerment, we will discuss the importance of women's empowerment and the strategies for obtaining it. In our society, men and women cohabit. Men were formerly regarded to be the key decision-makers in the family. They were the family's decision-makers and were in charge of generating income. Women, on the other hand, were responsible for both household tasks and child raising. As a result, gender had a major role in determining job titles. The decision-making process did not include women. When we look at our whole business, research suggests that women's issues are either related to the...

The End of an Era

COVID 19 vaccinations are effective and can reduce your risk of contracting and spreading the COVID-19 virus. Even if children and adults contract COVID-19, COVID-19 immunizations can help them avoid major disease and death. But for the past few months the only one allowed to get vaccinated are adults or if you’re 18 or above. But as time progressed the vaccine is now available for both children and teenagers. While many children with COVID-19 have modest symptoms, a tiny percentage of them require more serious medical attention, which may include admission to the hospital or an intensive care unit. For younger children, the vaccine's advantages outweigh the risks. While no vaccination is guaranteed to be 100 percent effective, the COVID-19 vaccine has been demonstrated to be 90 percent effective in avoiding both mild and severe infection in persons who have received all of the vaccines. For children aged 5 to 11, only the Pfizer vaccination is currently approved. The dose is one...

April 9 1942

Image
The Battle of Bataan, which the Philippine Commonwealth and the United States fought together against Japan during World War II from January 7 to April 9, 1942, is one of the battles that Filipinos fought. In January 1942, the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy invaded Luzon, as well as several islands in the Philippine Archipelago, after the bombing of the American naval base at Pearl Harbor. Every April 9, we commemorate the "Araw ng Kagitingan" We should be grateful to these heroic Filipinos who battled for our nation, even if they are no longer with us. We applaud all Filipino soldiers for their valor and sacrifice.  "The Battle of Bataan represented the most intense phase of Imperial Japan's invasion of the Philippines during World War II. The capture of the Philippine Islands was crucial to Japan's effort to control the Southwest Pacific, seize the resource-rich Dutch East Indies, and protect its Southeast Asia flank. It was the largest surrender in America...

Keeping a Holy Lent

Image
Lent is a 40-day period of "prayer, fasting, abstinence, and other acts of penance," according to the Diocese of Ilagan, since it is a time to prepare for Easter. It will take place this year from Wednesday, March 2 through Thursday, April 14, 2022. Lent is a time for us to examine our poor habits and strive to become more like Christ. Lent is also a season when people make sacrifices. We have the chance to sacrifice something important to us during this season. Prayer, mortification of the body, repentance of sins, almsgiving, humble living, and self-denial are all part of Lent's objective of preparing the believer for Easter.  We’re highlighting Lenten practices and memories of people who have shared their stories with us. Their experiences range from pious and traditional to creative and out-of-the-ordinary, but all of them represent attempts to make the season of Lent a meaningful time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving for themselves, their loved ones, and their ...
