Path to Progress

-

They have experienced a lot of this society. Before and even now, women are usually discriminated against because, as they say, if you are a woman you can’t do anything, that you can’t do what the other sex can. Long ago, women were treated unfairly, they could only stay at their houses doing chores while waiting for their husbands to go home. But as time passed by, I can’t deny that our society has improved. Women now have their rights.


According to the Philippine Commission on Women, the Magna Carta of Women (MWC) is a comprehensive law on women’s human rights that aims to abolish discrimination by recognizing, protecting, fulfilling, and promoting the rights of Filipino women, particularly those from marginalized groups in society. Additionally, according to the Official Gazette of the Republic of the Philippines, RA 6725 forbids discrimination in employment terms and conditions based only on sex. Under this rule, any employer who favors a male employee over a female in terms of promotion, training chances, and other perks exclusively based on gender is considered discriminatory.


Women are like a star in the sky. They illuminate the entire nation and provide hope. In their voices, you feel their courage and determination to face life's challenges. They never give up no matter what happens because they stand by the paths they have chosen toward societal change.


The voice of women is not just a mere sound but serves as an inspiration not only to their fellow women but also to all genders. They are the stars of the future who continue to journey on the path of progress, carrying the dreams of many for a better tomorrow.


Now, I would like you to meet Her. The first person I would run to when life gets tough and uneasy. She never leaves me and is with me through my ups and downs, strength, and fears. She’s the one who taught and told me to be strong, and independent, and to never let myself and my thoughts be neglected. SHE is my Mom, who is as pure as a white tulip.  



Women show that gender is not a barrier to reaching dreams. Throughout history, they have given more value to society. And yes, they are women, but they never closed their eyes or gave up on the hardships they have endured just to give society fair and equal treatment.

Even before and still now that I am graduating from junior high school, they often ask “What will you take in college?” Before, that was one of the easy questions I could answer right away but now that I’ve learned and explored new things, that question is one of the hardest ones to answer. After lying down on my bed, I started to wonder and ask myself, “What am I doing a decade from now? am I treating the patients that have different diseases in the hospital or still studying?”   I see myself treating the patients. I see myself being in front of thick books, trying to memorize the different terms needed and also their meanings until dawn. after being content with what I already have in mind, I’ll sleep for hours and wake up to go to school. Going back, I dreamed of being one of the doctors who would treat everyone. I grew up being exposed to the medical field, because of my mother who is currently in this field, she always brought me to her workplace when I was young — the hospita...

As the clock's arms restart... Another Year has come to our lives again, people often think of having their own New Year's resolution. Some people use their New Year's resolution as a base on how their life would be this year. Like if they fail to fulfill their resolution/s it would bring bad luck to their life, and vice versa. But whatever it is, Life will go on, whether you fulfill those or not, and that's the reality. “Run for your dream”  We all have dreams, they can be small or big. Dreams that may be hard to achieve but, for sure someday it will be worth it. This song fuels my determination to pursue my aspirations, assuring me that by running on the path that I chose, I can indeed achieve them by time. In navigating your journey and overcoming obstacles, refrain from lingering on the sources of your pain. Keep in mind that ahead of you lies a path with more light than darkness. “‘cause there ain’t no need to hurry, no one ever said that there’s an easy way” Life ...

EstudyantePRENUER was held last February 19, 2024. According to the officers of the club, the purpose of the event was to showcase the skills and talents of the TLE students, where Technology and Livelihood Education has 4 specializations which are: home economics, ICT, industrial arts, and agriculture. Once we stepped into the TLE booth, the banderillas swayed with the wind, and the students and teachers welcomed us with smiles on their faces. They have different sections where I learned new and exciting things. The first stop was the food area. Here, they sell delicious foods, what’s TLE without cookery anyway? They sell pipian, lumpia, miki, mais con yell, and many more.  Moreover, they also have a booth for technology, wherein they print and laminate, they also have repair services and a film viewing. Their love for their work amazed and inspired me. Each area was set up with care, with the teachers and students showing their work while clarifying the different concepts behind ...
