  The Heritage City of Vigan is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved historical places in the Philippines. Known for its cobblestone streets, Spanish colonial houses, and horse-drawn carriages called kalesa, Vigan truly captures the essence of the past while blending it with the energy of the present. Walking through Calle Crisologo feels like stepping back in time, surrounded by the stunning architecture and warm hospitality of the Ilocano people. Aside from its historical beauty, Vigan also offers a wide range of local industries and products that showcase the creativity and culture of its people. One of the most famous is burnay pottery, where skilled artisans create traditional clay jars that have been part of Vigan’s identity for centuries. Tourists can also enjoy local delicacies such as empanada, longganisa, and bagnet, which represent the rich culinary heritage of the region. These products not only satisfy cravings but also support the livelihood of many local...

  This second quarter has been a time of growth and new discoveries for me. I have learned many important lessons not only from our academic subjects but also from real-life experiences. I gained deeper understanding in subjects like English, Science, and ESP, especially in developing my skills in writing reflections, analyzing literary works, and participating in group activities. I also discovered the importance of time management and teamwork, which helped me balance schoolwork and personal responsibilities. However, the quarter was not without challenges. One of the hardest parts was managing multiple deadlines while trying to keep up with lessons that were sometimes difficult to understand. There were moments when I felt stressed and overwhelmed, especially during performance tasks and group projects. Internet connection issues and lack of focus also made some activities more challenging, especially during online or research-related tasks. To overcome these challenges, I learn...

  The 2025 Teacher’s Month Celebration with the theme “My Teacher, My Hero” reminds us of the valuable role that teachers play in shaping our minds and our futures. Teachers are not just individuals who teach lessons inside classrooms—they are true heroes who dedicate their time, patience, and energy to guide us through challenges and help us achieve our dreams. This celebration honors their selfless service and recognizes their lasting impact on society. Teachers serve as the foundation of every learner’s success. They inspire students to believe in their potential, help them discover their strengths, and teach them how to overcome weaknesses.

Their ability to balance care, discipline, and motivation makes them everyday heroes in our lives. To express my gratitude and respect for my teachers, I show appreciation through ...

   Science has always been the key that unlocks the mysteries of the world, guiding society toward growth and survival. This year’s National Science Month theme, “Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation,” reminds us of the endless possibilities waiting to be discovered. The unknown, once feared, now represents opportunities for breakthroughs that can transform the way people live, work, and interact with their environment.    The role of science in society is not only to discover but also to create solutions to pressing global problems. In the coming decades, innovations in renewable energy, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and space exploration will shape industries and communities. These advancements will not only provide convenience but also address urgent challenges like climate change, public health, and food security. Science thus becomes a bridge that connects knowledge with the survival and progress of humankind. ...

    Climate change is one of the greatest challenges faced by the Philippines today. Sudden disasters like typhoons and floods, as well as progressive changes such as droughts and rising sea levels, have severely affected the lives of many Filipinos. These environmental problems are mainly caused by human activities, deforestation, excessive use of fossil fuels, and pollution, all of which worsen global warming and weaken the environment’s ability to protect us. Despite these hardships, Filipinos are known for their resiliency . Time and again, communities unite to rebuild their homes, share resources, and practice bayanihan whenever disaster strikes. This strength gives hope and shows how Filipinos can rise above adversity. However, resiliency alone will not solve the issue if its root causes are left unaddressed. That is why collective action is needed. Filipinos must embrace sustainable practices, support stronger environmental laws, and raise awareness about climate ch...

This year’s intramurals at ISNHS was nothing short of exciting, colorful, and unforgettable. From energyfilled competitions to the unity among different grade levels, it became a true celebration of sportsmanship, talent, and school pride. One of the most memorable parts for me was watching my classmates’ band perform. Seeing them on stage, giving their best, and hearing the crowd cheer was such a proud moment. Their music added life to the event and made the atmosphere even more vibrant. Another highlight was supporting our candidate for Ms. Intramurals. We were all hyped, cheering, waving banners, and showing our full support. When her name was announced as the winner, the whole section erupted in joy. It wasn’t just her victory but also ours, because of the effort, unity, and encouragement we gave. That moment of pride and happiness is something I will never forget. The intramurals wasn’t just about games or competitions, it was about unity, fun, and creating lasting memo...

  Last weekend, our group went to Choco surf for a film activity. While we were there, I noticed that the beach was filled with trash. Plastics, bottles, and wrappers were scattered everywhere, making the place look messy and harmful to the environment. Because of this, I decided to join the coastal clean-up activity. Even though I was by myself, I did my part to help clean the beach. I picked up bottles, bags, and even bulky trash that was left behind. At first, it felt overwhelming because there was so much waste, but little by little, the areas I cleaned started to look much better. I gathered more trash than I expected, and the bags I brought weren’t enough to hold everything. Some of the garbage I had to place in the trash bins around the beach. It was tiring, but seeing the beach cleaner afterward made all the effort worth it. This experience showed me that it doesn’t matter if you are only alone helping is what actually matters and the willingness to act. Even small efforts...
