        Women Empowerment is made up of two words, women and empowerment. Empowerment means to give a power or authority to someone. Our society comprises men and women. In early times, men are considered to be the leading members of family. On the other hand, women were responsible in doing household work and caring their children. And yet, we cannot deny the fact that the gender inequality ia still exists to the world.       Empowering women involves encouraging them to be financially, culturally, and socially independent.  Covid 19 pandemic is not just a health issue.

       Mother's Day is a holiday honoring the mother of the family or individual, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on different days in many parts of the world, where it is observed on the second sunday of May.        The day was expanded to include others, such as grandmothers and aunts, who played mothering roles.

       In the third quarter, I’ve learned a lot of things about the lesson taught us in ICT. I also discovered a lot about our traditions, businesses, language and literature that we use, and many more that have in our town/municipality. I learned many things but there are also some problems that I have encountered.        A challenge is something new and difficult which requires great effort and determination. This grading is kind of challenging, I don’t know what to do. But these problems taught us not to be give up easily. And, I believe that the lesson were taught us can help in the future.        I am looking forward to learning more things in the next quarter. Acquiring additional knowledge and information is such a huge thing for me because I know that it will help me a lot in the future.

               Araw ng Kagitingan, also known as Bataan Day and Bataan and Corregidor Day, is a national observance in the Philippines, which commemorates the fall of Bataan during World War II. It falls on April 9, although in 2009, its celebration was moved to April 6 to avoid it from coinciding with Maundy Thursday.             On April 9, 1942, officials in command of Bataan where Filipino and American forces maintained the main resistance in the war against the Japanese, formally surrendered. According to historians, this was meant to recall the thousands of Filipinos who dedicated their lives to free the country during World War II.               Bataan became a symbol of hope, so it was a painful defeat for Filipinos when it fell on April 9. Despite the defeat, the battle in Bataan became a historical moment not only for Filipinos, but also for the entire world. Reference http...
