Our Best Shot

The virus's rapid spread stunned the entire world. The government has already devised a solution to prevent the spread of the aforementioned disease. Scientists and researchers from all over the world have already developed a vaccine, which will be a critical new tool in the fight against COVID-19. As they continue to collaborate and innovate in order to bring people tests, treatments, and vaccines that will collectively save lives and put an end to the pandemic. However, the vaccines developed before the others were only safe for adults aged 18 to 59. The nationwide rollout of COVID-19 vaccination among 12 to 17 years old began in early November.

The Philippines has already received the first tranche of 1 million CoronaVac doses, indicating that the government is doing its part to ensure that vaccine is available throughout the country for us to be vaccinated. As a result, we can now reduce the number of cases and continue to strive for a Covid-free country. Even with this type of solution, many people are still opposed to the COVID-19 vaccine because they have heard and read about the side effects of the vaccine after being vaccinated. There have also been news reports that some people died, leading people to believe that the vaccine is not guaranteed to be safe. Because children's bodies are different from adults', they require fewer doses or amounts. We should be aware of the medical conditions of our children. It is suggested that they seek medical attention first if they have a weakened immune system or comorbidities. It has been established that vaccines have side effects, which everyone should be aware of before getting vaccinated. Other teenagers and children are afraid of getting vaccinated because of the side effects. But this is the best option for all of us since it will benefit us all. It may not completely protect us from the virus, but it will reduce the chances of it spreading and infecting us.

Even today, the pandemic caused by CoVid-19 disease is widespread. From Wuhan, China, it spread to the rest of the world. People were given health protocols to follow in order to reduce and control the number of patients. Lockdown and quarantine have also been beneficial. Vaccines developed by various scientists and tested are now being distributed to various countries, including the Philippines. Despite the fact that many people are unwilling to obtain the vaccine, President Rodrigo Duterte, Senator Bong Go, and Health Secretary Francisco T. Duque III have already received vaccine doses in Pasay City. Knowing that government officials and front-liners have consented to receive the Covid-19 vaccination, I am eager to receive it. I have faith in the Department of Health, and I am hopeful that this will be a significant step forward in our fight against this pandemic. I also encourage my fellow teenagers and children to get vaccinated as well, as this will provide protection against the virus that is widely spreading.

Kagitingan ng mga Pilipino

Image
The story of the Fall of Bataan remains to be a devastating tale. But unlike The Shining or American Psycho, this is not a story ripped off of fiction books. It is a tragedy engraved in the dark pages of our history. The Day of Valour, also known as the Araw ng Kagitingan, commemorates the Filipino and American soldiers who stood up against Japanese forces during World War II. This historic day commemorates the  valor of Filipino veterans and American allies who fought against the Japanese invasion in World War II, during which thousands of lives were lost defending the country's freedom and sovereignty. The "Fall of Bataan" is a constant reminder of Filipino bravery and patriotism. Normally, roads in various parts of the country are set aside for parades. This is to honor Filipino war veterans who died while serving the Philippines, as well as those who contributed military service to defend the country during times of war or peace.  Unfortunately, this is still prohibit...

During the Pandemic's Lenten Season

Image
The Lenten Season, also known as Ash Wednesday, is a solemn religious observance in the Christian liturgical calendar. On Ash Wednesday, a traditionally solemn holiday, a church's priest or pastor will dip their finger into a tray of ashes and spread them in the shape of a cross on the foreheads of congregants. They will say, "from dust you came, and from dust you will return," while doing so. The ashes are made by burning palm branches from the previous year's Palm Sunday. Lent lasts 40 days, not including Sundays (that means the season is technically 46 days long). It is significant that it is 40 days. "The number 40 has always had special spiritual significance regarding preparation," says Father William Saunders of the Catholic Education Resource Center. Jesus fasted and prayed for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert before He began His public ministry (Matthew 4:2). The week preceding Easter Sunday, known as Holy Week, is meaningful in the Christian chu...

The Truth We Can't Deny

Image
  Kate Angela Rabena Tamorong, Sta. Catalina, Ilocos Sur   September 21, 2021 President Rodrigo Roa Duterte Malacañang Palace JP Laurel Street, San Miguel, Manila, 1005   Dear President Duterte,             It takes courage, determination, and discipline to be a leader. While having a great leader can lead to great success, it also comes with the risk of being criticized and overwhelmed. Many things have transpired and changed since you became our president this past years.  Sir, I respect your strength and perseverance because you went above and beyond to help us Filipinos. Promises, on the other hand, are meant to be broken, as we all know and believe. Many of your people were disappointed with your administration since your promises were not kept and you failed miserably as president. I understand that you have been entrusted with the tough task of repairing and improving the Philip...
