“I know that the state of the nation is sound, and is improving.
ito ang mensahe ng ating Pangulong Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr., sa taong 2023. Subalit, karamihan sa mga mamamayang Pilipino ngayon, kung hindi lahat, ay may kontradiksyon patungkol sa pinakaimportanteng usapin ngayon sa ating bansa Bagong Pilipinas: Progress o Retrogress? Ano na nga ba talaga ang kalagayan ng bagong Pilipinas ngayon?
Sa isang taon at tatlong buwan na panunungkulan ng ika-labimpitong PangulongPilipinas(BongbongMarcos), masasabi na ba nating may mga pagbabago na tayong nakikita dito sa ating bansa? Ramdam na ba natin ang pag-unlad ng ating ekonomiya, lalong-lalo na sa mga sektor ng edukasyon, kalusugan, pangkabuhayan, at agrikultura? O di kaya nama ' y ganoon pa rin ang estado ng sinasabi nating "Bagong Pilipinas"ngayon?
Sa ikalawang State Of the Nation Address (SONA) ng ating Pangulong Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr, ibinahagi nito ang komprehensibong pagtatasa kaugnay sa kasalukuyang estado ng Pilipinas nang may solidong kumpyansa sa kabila ng mga bumabatikos sa kaniyang panenerbisyo Ayon sa kaniyang talumpati, ang pagganap o performance ng kaniyang kasalukuyang administrasyon ay bumubuti na at nagpapakita na ng positibong resulta lalo na sa labin-limang focal areas kagaya ng: ekonomiya at seguridad sa pagkain; kkkk

kontra droga, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM); insurhensiya; at priority bills Sa katunayan, idiniin rin ng Pangulo na ang ating ekonomiya nitong mga nakaraang buwan ay muling "nabuhay at bumata" sa kadahilanangbumabaangpursyentonginflationratesabansang54%kasabaysa pagtaas ng pursyento sa trabaho na may 957% kung ikukumpara sa 824% noong mga taong nagkaroon ng pandemya Positibong dagdag pa nito, ang sektor ng kalusuganaynakagawarinnghigitpasa3,400naproyektosalayongmapalawigat mapabuti pa ang mga pampublikong health facilities hinggil sa pag-unlad ng pangkalusugusangadbokasiya

We've been through times of bitter division but united, we came through to this when we shall begin again. But better.
Pormal na ipinaliwanag ito ng Pulse Asia na lehitimo ang naging resulta ng surbey dahil ito ay kanilang isinagawa noong Setyembre 10-14 ng naturang taon Aniya pa nito, ang poll ay nagsasaad lamang na ang pangunahing dahilan sa pagbaba ng approval ratings ng Presidente, gayundin ng Bise-Presidente, ay sa kadahilanang may mgahindikaaya-ayangnagaganapsaisang punto ng pagpapaunlad kagaya nalang ng 2024 budget deliberations sa Kongreso, kung saanang "confidentialandintelligencefunds" ngmgaahensyanggobyernoaykwinestyon at binigyang-diin alinsunod sa Executive OrderNo 39

HonoringTheUnsungHeroes
byAngelCañares
With the theme, “Together4Teachers” Tagoloan Community College celebrated World Teachers' Day from September 5 to October 5, 2023, to acknowledge their service and dedication as the molders of other professions
Teachers are often known as the unsung heroes of the present time Shaping the younger generation through presenting knowledge, fostering morals, and developing each student's potential. Teachers act as beacons of inspiration, guiding their students toward achievement and personal development with their unrelenting dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment
Serving far beyond the call of duty to prepare lesson plans, strategies, innovative methods of instruction, and engaging activities for the students, teachers only show that their hard work and determination put into teaching students not only academic-related content but also valuable life lessons and skills, are indeed priceless as they make time to adapt and bridge the gap among diverse students while integrating inclusive learning inside the school
In light of this, teachers' efforts should always be celebrated and acknowledged, not just on Teachers’ Day, but every single day. Together, let us express our gratitude, admiration, respect, support, and appreciation for our selfless heroes Q

Inaworldoftenpreoccupiedwiththe pursuitofperfection,IvanT Aparilla,a21year-old, and a third-year Bachelor of ElementaryEducation(BEED)student,standsasa testament to people who had once lost their indomitablehumanspirit Hisstoryisnotjustone of resilience but also an inspiring tale of acceptance, illustrating how determination and bravery can turn one ' s disability into an opportunityforgrowthandinspiration
Ivan's journey began with a tragic vehicular accident that occurred when he was just two yearsold Recountingtheincident,hesharedthat hismotherwasholdinghimwhenhisuppershirt gotentangledinthemotorswheel Althoughhe was successfully revived, the accident left him andhisleftlegseverelyaffected,hinderingtheir chances of recovering While doctors presented himwithaglimmerofhopeforrecovery,limited financial resources led the family to accept reality and cherish Ivan's life instead Four years had passed, and Ivan's condition bore with stoicism abeliefthatpeopledon'thave control overthings,orevenmuch,ofwhatmayhappen in life Still and all, Ivan reflected on the circumstances that he had, allowing him to questionthelifeheneverimagined havingatthe ageof18.Hisyearningtohavethelegsthatmost ordinary people have, led him to feel jealous at timesashewatchedotherpeoplemovefreely “I wantedtobeapoliceman," Ivan shared with a smile,buthewassensibleenoughtoknowthat daydreaming about what might have been wouldnotchangehisreality Instead,hechoseto embracehisconditionanduseitasasourceof inspirationforhisfuturestudents Inthisinstance, hewantstoconsiderandreflectthatperhaps,his calling is not to be a policeman, but rather to shapeandinspiresomeonetobecomeone
Consequently, Ivan admits that even though somenegativethoughtsarestillcreepingintohis mind, he still, with all his might, refuses to let thoseconsumehim Hefirmlybelievesthatifhe letshiscircumstancesgettheupperhand,itwill just jeopardize his goals in life That is why, instead of aiming at things that are not even there,heoptstocelebratewhathehasgotand triestofindsolaceintheideathateventhough hisleftlegisnolongerthesameasitwas,hestill considers himself as a blessed and a fortunate humanbeingdespitehiscondition
In matters of the heart, Ivan still facesanotherkindofchallenge;he concernshimselfwiththeideathat hisconditionmayposeahurdleto his relationships Nevertheless, despite some hard questions he sometimesthrowstotheworldand eventohimself,hestilltriestolive in the hope that someday, someone will see his physical limitations as something worthy of anythingandnotaburdennoran impairment to love someone and belovedbysomeone
ThestoryofIvanT Aparillareminds all of us that having a disability does not diminish our humanity; rather, it amplifies our strengths andmotivatesourspiritstomakeit allthroughdespiteeverything With Ivan's ways of overcoming the wavesofhislife,heonlyprovesthe notion that ones disability can neversuppressapersonwhohasa resilient heart and a determined mind This captivating story, in addition, allows us to reflect that wemayallbearourburdensinlife, however,wejustneedtotakenote that we don't have to carry everything at once, especially if it feels too much to carry on our ends To put everything into account, Ivans story is a notable testament to everyone who is currently dealing with their battles that we can transcend ourphysical limitations into something bigger by dreaming bigger
Today, as he looks back on his journey, he has a message for his younger self and likewise to everyone: “If you encounter challenges along the way, rememberthatyoucanovercome them Justkeeppushingforward; aslongasyoucanhandleit,you candoit.Ifitbecomestooheavy to endure, it's okay to take a break.Youdon'thavetobearan excessive burden, especially if it becomestoomuchtocarry.”

Gayunpaman, ang malawakang paggamit nito ay nagdulotngmgaalalahaninsalaranganngedukasyon, dahil ayon sa isang pag-aaral, dalawa sa mga negatibong resulta ng Artificial Intelligence ay ang kakulangan sa pagkamalikhain at kakulangan sa orihinalidadngmgaimpormasyongisinusumitengmga estudyante. Kaya naman, upang hindi tayo maging biktima ng mga negatibong dulot ng AI, nararapat lamangnaatingipairalangatingeksistensyabilangtao atparehonggamitinangatingintelektwalatemosyonal nakakayahansahalip.

Magkaroonngsapat nakaalamanat kamalayan 1
Isa sa mga paraan upang mabawasan ang paggamit ng kasangkapang ito ay ang pagkakaroon ng sapat na kaalaman at kamalayan Habang ang mga guro natinaynagpapaalalaatnagtuturosaatin patungkolsadigitalliteracyatkungpaano gumagana ang kasangkapang AI, lalonglalo na sa mga kahihinatnan ng maling paggamit nito, nararapat lamang na tayo, bilang mga mag-aaral, ay makinig. Kung meron man tayong mga pag-aalinlangan o mga klaripikasyon, pwede tayong magtanong sa kanila upang mabigyang linaw ang ating mga isipan. Dapat rin na buksan natin ang ating mga sarili upang tayo ay maging digital literate Ibig nitong sabihin na nagkakaroon tayo ng kakayahan kung paano natin suriin, ilatag, o isagawa ang mga impormasyon gamit ang teknolohiya sa wastong paraan Lagi nating isaisip na ang kasangkapang Artificial Intelligence ay ginawa para magamit natin sa tamang paraan at hindi para tayo ay palagiang umasa dito Sa pagkakaroon ng ganitong literasiya at pananaw, maaari nating labanan ang mga tukso sa maling paggamit ng kasangkapangito
Tamuhinang akademikong Integridadatetika 2
Bukod sa pagkakaroon ng kaalaman at kamalayan, dapat rin nating ipaalala sa ating mga sarili kung gaano kaimportante ang pagtamo sa akademikong integridad at etika Kailangang paalalahanan at bigyang-liwanag natin ang ating mga sarili tungkol sa kahalagahan ng pagiging tapat at responsableng mag-aaral sa paggawa ng ating mga gawaing pang-akademiko, at sa pag-alam ng mga negatibong dulot nito. Oo, mas napapadali talaga ng Intehensiyang Artipisyal ang ating mga gawain, lalong-lalo na kung tayo ay nagmamadali o di kaya'y kahit ito'y hindi aplikado sa lahat nagiging tamad Sa bandang huli, hindi natin maipapalago ang ating mga kakayahan na mag-isip nang may pagkamalikhain at pagiging mapanuri. Ating pakatatandaan na ang pag-angkin, paggamit, o pagsumite ng impormasyong hindi galing sa'tin ay isang uri ng plagiarism o ang pagkopya ng ideya na gawa ng iba, kahit pa sabihin natin na ito'y galing lamang sa AI Tool Sa kabilang banda, ang pagsusumite ng isang gawain na ginawa ng AI ay kawalang-galang sa ating mga guro. Ang palagiang paggamit nito ay isang indikasyon na pawang hindi tayo nagpapakita ng respeto sa kanila, laong-lalo na sa ating mgasarili.
Kayanaman,upangmaipakitanatinnaangatingpag-aaral ay praktikal, kapaki-pakinabang, at makabago, nararapat lamang na maging mapanuri at responsable tayo sa paggamit ng kasangkapang nito dahil ang pagkakaroon ng literasiya at integridad sa paggamit ng makabagong teknolohiya ay isang mahalagang aspeto at katangian na dapatnatingtaglayinbilangmgamag-aaralatbilangmga indibidwal upang mahasa pa ang ating mga kakayahan sa pagigingmalikhain,mapanuri,atpagigingorihinal.
