            Although most COVID-19 vaccines are only approved for adults over the age of 18, a growing number   of vaccines are being recommended for children. Some nations have approved mRNA vaccines for teenage usage emergency use authorization (aged 12-17 years). Children and teenagers can choose whether or not to be vaccinated. Parents commonly question if vaccines will cause any side effects in their children. Vaccines are causing concern among most parents owing to potential negative effects. Some parents wish to be immunized so that their children are protected from the sickness.          The desire to avoid serious adverse effects is one of the most compelling motivations for undertaking vaccine research in children. Vaccinating children will also be crucial in achieving a society-wide level of protection crowd resistance, which will help to stop the pandemic and limit the spread of hazardous mutations. The majorit...

          As the third quarter comes to a close, it's difficult to believe we're approaching the end of the 2020-2021 academic year. Even if the school year is approaching to an end, it is still extremely difficult and stressful because, due to the pandemic, we are currently studying at a different phase, online or modular learning. Despite the fact that I should be happy because, after returning from a much-needed break and passing three challenging periods, we will now enter the fourth marking period full steam ahead, I can't help but feel sad and anxious. On the other hand, I have to remind myself that I gave it my all and that's why I'm here.       The sort of learning has changed in the most recent quarter of ICT. We learned about community-based research in the third quarter, which we had never heard of before, but it is very similar to what we are learning in Research II; the only difference is that there are only a few parts to creating a ...

  International Women's Day is a global celebration of women's achievements in social, economic, cultural, and political fields. The day also acts as a rallying cry for achieving gender parity as soon as possible. There is a lot of activity around the world as people come together to celebrate women's achievements or march for women's equality. It is a day on which women are recognized for their achievements regardless of their national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic, or political backgrounds. Since those early years, International Women's Day has taken on a new worldwide significance for women in both rich and poor countries.         Since then, the Philippines' Women's Month Celebration has provided as a forum to commemorate women's accomplishments while also addressing current and emerging issues, concerns, challenges, and obligations related to women's empowerment and gender equality. Because the COVID-19 pandemic is still raging, this y...

  The fall of Bataan on April 9, 1942  marked the end of organized resistance by the United States Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) — that included the Philippine Army — to the invading Japanese forces on Luzon island. Less than a month later, the fall of Corregidor, an island fortress across the entrance to Manila Bay, provided access to what was regarded as the finest natural harbor in the Far East. These twin debacles enabled the Japanese occupation of Manila from 1942 to 1945. In June 1945, the US Armed Forces in the Philippines – Northern Luzon (USAFIP-NL) led by Colonel Russell Volckmann and composed of five infantry regiments and one artillery battalion of about 20,000 Filipino soldiers defeated the Japanese army headed by General Tomoyuki Yamashita, the “Tiger of Malaya” and conqueror of Singapore, in the famous Battle of Bessang Pass. Located in Cervantes, Ilocos Sur, Bessang Pass was a strategic entry point to the Cordillera mountains. What is the significance of...

  LENTEN SEASON         Every year, the Roman Catholic Church commemorates our Lord Jesus Christ's sacrifices during the Lenten season. It is a Roman Catholic custom, and it is a highly special day for this religion. This day will commemorate Jesus' long-ago sacrifice for the welfare of all humanity. Many people do not look forward to Lent. Giving up candy as a kid or sitting through weekly Stations of the Cross come to mind right away. Words like "sacrifice," "discipline," and "self-denial" are frequently employed in ways that imply Lent is a period of suffering rather than grace and spiritual progress.         Have you ever considered Lent as a once-a-year second chance? Every year, the Church allows us six weeks to reflect on our lives and evaluate if our values and priorities are in line with God's purposes for us. Since most of us have strayed from God's path, Lent provides us with a second chance, or do...

                The Kannawidan Ylocos event commemorates the establishment of the province of Ilocos Sur. It is a month-long festival that begins the last week of January and finishes the first week of February. It is the Ilocanos' way of thanking the Almighty for not only the many benefits, but also for the province's rich tradition, which includes deep family relationships among the Ilocanos.               It is customary for a mass to be celebrated at the St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral during the festival's opening day. It is followed by a parade around Vigan City of the Patron Saints of the 40 parishes as well as representations of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. Provincial officials from the Department of Education frequently attend. The Ilocanos' strong religiosity is on display at this celebration. The festival focuses largely on Ilocano youngsters. It's because Ilocano cultur...

        The global epidemic had a significant impact on the Vigan City Fiesta this year. They ensure that it is commemorated in some form by leveraging social media outlets, while adhering to health rules such as vaccination cards to keep people safe. The city government planned a low-key celebration, emphasizing the importance of social distance and hygiene standards. To prevent the spread of the coronavirus, everyone must follow all hygienic procedures. Hand washing, wearing a mask, and using hand sanitizer are just a few of the health and safety precautions that can be observed to keep everyone safe.        The Vigan festival is not celebrated in the same way as it used to be, but it still helps us recognize and comprehend the significance of the occasion and our tradition.

    This is most likely the first time in modern history that we are encouraged to celebrate the season of Christmas in its purest form, in its simplicity.     We are preoccupied with rules on how to enjoy Christmas this year– with just members of the family who live in the same household, to continue wearing masks, to observe social separation, or to wash hands frequently– due to the attention on the Covid virus. For our mutual security and safety, we are being prevented from visiting one another. This year, we won't be able to enjoy the typical Christmas cheer and merrymaking.         Covid, on the other hand, should not detract from our Christmas celebrations! This Season, let us share more hope, peace, joy, and love!         This is where I am reminded of our Savior's birth. Simply said, it's a Christmas story. Only his mother and father were present when our Lord and Savior was born in a manger. A shepherd, a few animals, ...

       I've been writing in my journal with fresh fervor in the week leading up to New Year's Eve for as long as I can remember. I  make a list of the highlights and challenges of the previous year, as well as my new year's objectives, hopes, and plans. I make vision boards out of cut-out magazine clippings and Pinterest photos to find my ideal look for the coming year. However, I've found that giving too much weight to New Year's resolutions always makes me feel deflated, even if these practices made me feel prepared for the upcoming challenges and excited for new opportunities. The repeated comparisons and public exchange of resolutions make the new year feel like a competition rather than a thrilling, new beginning.

 The pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has caused an unprecedented crisis in all areas. This emergency has resulted in the massive closure of face-to-face activities of educational institutions in over 190 countries in order to prevent the virus's spread and mitigate its impact. To date, the main psychological impact on public mental health has been increased levels of stress or anxiety. However, as new measures and effects are implemented, particularly online classes/modules and their effects on many people's usual activities, routines, or livelihoods, levels of loneliness, depression, harmful alcohol and drug use, and self-harm or suicidal behavior are expected to rise. Many debates have raged over the resumption of classes in the face of the pandemic. Many are advocating for the education sector to skip the school year so that no student falls behind, while many parents are still curious about how remote learning will work. It's no secret that many Filipino stud...

  Towards a more resilient coronavirus-prone Philippines The COVID-19 pandemic presented numerous challenges to the world. Almost every country in the world had to go into lockdown to prevent the spread of the disease. The Philippines is one of the countries that implemented the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) on March 15, 2020. The ECQ did assist in raising awareness and preventing the spread of the virus. The Philippines is already healing; the number of cases is no longer increasing; however, we must continue to follow the government's rules and regulations, particularly the health protocols, because the virus is still spreading. We are still fighting the disease and all of the challenges posed by this pandemic.

 I just wanted to say hello and thank you to the president. Good day, sir! How are you doing, Mr. President? I hope everything is going well for you. Despite the pandemic, you are doing an excellent job, as is your administration. I'm here to offer some suggestions and express some concerns. I know we're all affected by the pandemic, but please bear with me/us. Because they are all locked up inside their homes, many teenagers are stressed and mentally unstable or mentally ill. They're all worried about how they'll survive the pandemic and how they'll study or learn something during it. We are the "pag-asa ng bayan," but how will they bring hope to this country if they are hopeless as a result of the pandemic? My concern is that parks, tourist attractions, and shopping malls are open while the main necessity of the youth/student; schools, is not. Why don't you let us go back to face-to-face classes? We are all aware that teen pregnancy is on the rise, a...

  My name is Winalyn V. Cabbab, 15 y/o. I lived in this Barrio from the town of Santa , province of Ilocos Sur, called "Nagpanaoan". I have one sibling; basically we're two sisters, I'm the oldest the tallest and sometimes act like a mom. My mom is a Teacher in Grade 1. My dad's a Farmer also a former OFW,fisherman to be exact My life isn't perfect; I made a lot of mistakes at a young age, and I guess that's part of growing up. My life became more boring during the pandemic, but I learned valuable lessons. It bothers me sometimes when I abruptly cut people out of my life, because I might end up with no one and be alone. Being alone isn't that difficult because it can provide you with peace of mind; what's difficult is feeling alone. If being alone means having peace of mind, then I enjoy being alone and would prefer to be alone. As I previously stated, life is difficult, but it becomes even more difficult when a pandemic strikes. To be honest, I ...

 In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, how does one enjoy Christmas this year? This is most likely one of the few times in modern history when we are urged to enjoy Christmas in its purest form, in its simplicity. We are preoccupied with rules on how to enjoy Christmas this year– with just members of the family who live in the same household, to continue wearing masks, to observe social separation, or to wash hands frequently– due to the attention on the Covid virus.

 The natural surroundings and conditions in which we live are referred to as the environment. Unfortunately, this environment is now under grave danger. Human activities are almost completely to blame for this problem. These human activities have undoubtedly wreaked havoc on the environment. Most importantly, this devastation puts the survival of all living creatures on Earth in jeopardy. As a result, environmental preservation is critical.Environment-Friendly Strategies First and foremost, tremendous emphasis should be paid to tree planting. A tree is, above all, a source of oxygen. Unfortunately, numerous trees have been felled as a result of building. This will undoubtedly reduce the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. The more trees that are planted, the more oxygen is produced. As a result, planting more trees will improve the quality of life. People must also pay attention to forest conservation. Forests are extremely important to the environment. Deforestation, on the other ...
