Amplifying DepEd’s role

modern-day heroes in the sense that we sacrifice time and effort in studying to help generate a much better world, to become vocal in politics to fight for our future and to those who face challenges every day but still keep going.

As captives, the soldiers were forced to endure the infamous 140-kilometre Bataan Death March to Camp O’Donnell in Capas, Tarlac. Along the way, thousands died due to famine, heat prostration, untreated wounds, and wanton or executionstyle murder.

Historians believe that only 54,000 of the 76,000 prisoners were able to reach Camp O’Donnell. The exact number of deaths and escapees was difficult to assess.

There is no excuse for why our generation won’t rise again after facing challenging battles throughout our lives if our fallen heroes were able to recover from that sort of beating and loss. Let the Araw ng Kagitingan be a source of inspiration and a gentle reminder to persevere and not give up, not only to the “Gen Z millennial” generations but also for previous and future generations.

We shape the society and the society shapes us.

Children as great imitators gradually consider what they see in our society their basis and building blocks as to what they need to be. School is a perfect path that the youth choose in order to gain knowledge and skills since a child’s mind is incredibly immense that all of the space can filled with multiple different things. As the schools continue to shape the minds and personalities of the youth, they are creating students with individual differences but similar basic knowledge that can soon help their fellow people.

MAture individuals shaping the youth

Current Vice President Sara Duterte launched the DepEd program MATATAG: Bansang Makabata, Batang Makabansa. She stated that this program cannot happen overnight, they need the help of the society. Teachers are the competent individuals who strive hard to teach their students. They give extra effort to help their children to fully understand and comprehend the different components of education. Their efforts are what shape and influence the hope of tomorrow.

Modern-day heroes also help the youth as they enter their second homes to feel safe and welcome. They provide a support system to multiple at-risk students to showcase that they are people who the students can freely go to in times of problem and misery. Lending an ear as their children state their resentments. Providing a shoulder to cry on when their students are upset. Understanding the different lives that their students have. Teachers are supernatural humans with multiple responsibilities.

TAckling all the different components

Learning should not center around academics. Different components such as physical and emotional knowledge help students to be well-rounded and versatile. The vast knowledge in a pupil’s mind can help them be adaptable to any change in the environment. All the information that they have absorbed can help them to perform well with the different tasks that might come their way.

Extra-curricular activities in school such as sports and socio-cultural events help a student to be aware of their skills and capabilities. It opens them to new opportunities that can lead to their great success. Republic Act 10676 helps student athletes to continue their academics while being able to play against other schools and carry the name of their school through the beneficiaries they get such as free tuition, allowances, learning materials, and so on. Less inconvenience is given to the student athletes though these benefits which is a big reason why students work hard to maintain being an athletic scholar.

TAking initiative for the students to be enlightened

The government has dedicated its time to improve our educational system and realize their flaws and weaknesses that needs to be improved. Their mission to create a better system is their message to the youth that may this action great competent adults in the near future that will help for the betterment of our nation.
