Compare and Contrast

Although the sun and moon are both lights in our days and nights, they are not the same. The sun's purpose for us is to brighten up and generate energy for our body to do
activities in our life. With the presence of the sun, we are active and alive.
In contrast, moon arises in the middle of darkness to inform us that our day is finish and time for peace and sleep. The light it is giving unto us befits the serene night.
While the sun and the moon are huge benefits in our life: one that makes us passionate about living and the other gives us a sense of halt to prepare for what's next tomorrow, the sun will always be the choice of everyone.

After search and rescue/ rebuild / memorials and etc.

TIMELINE

Before

January 13
The volcano started to expel ashes in the air on January 13 in which phreatic ashes eruption was reported.

January 14
On January 14 in the evening, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHILVOLCS) declared Mayon Volcano’s alert level from 2 to 3. This means the volcano has increased the propensity to hazardous eruption. People were assigned to stay at their home, wear masks and be alert while the government was monitoring the volcano.

January 15
After that day, the volcano has started to spew lavas and ashfalls throughout the villages in the municipalities of Camalig and Guinobatan in the southwest of the volcano. 

A total of 5,318 families and that’s 21,823 people have been displaced. In 18 evacuation centers, there are 4,134 families staying on January 15.
According to CNN Philippines, PHIVOLCS director, Renato Solidum said 

January 16
January 16, the volcano continued to expel lava and it causes a lot of events such as rockfalls, landslides, and sudden explosions or dome collapse. PHIVOLCS suggested residents in 25 villages, in 3 municipalities and 2 cities to do a precautionary evacuation.

Mayon spews more than 3000 tons of sulfur dioxide on January 16. This day Albay was declared as under state calamity whereas the government decided to use their calamity savings forrelifer operation.
The Army started to pick up families using military trucks.

January 18
January 18, the Social Welfare and Health Departments lend PHP 22 million for relief aid for evacuees.

January 22
Mayon Volcano was announced to be on alert level 4 which within days of weeks, an imminent eruption is expected.

DURING

January 23

The day Mayon Volcano erupted and was reported that it took 40 mins. Alert level 5 is now over Mayon.

Since January 13,, the government started to announce the danger zone and they are still extending it in this period of time.

This is the map where it shows the danger zone. Danger zone has extended 8km from the mountain.

AFTER

January 24

The Australian government proclaimed that they are going to lend AUS$775,000 to give help to evacuees.

Because of the compact and stiff evacuation area, people are now catching diseases. Unfortunately, the evacuation areas are overpopulated so the diseases easily spread all over.

January 25

The National Disaster Risk and Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) stated that the relief aid cost a total of 28,989,392 PH money.

January 26

Once again, Mayon Volcano showed its power. Estimated 25 million of volcanic material was discovered.

In 56 barangays or village, there are around 86,000 residents and were victims of the eruption.

Reported about 94 million worth of agricultural crops were devastated because of the eruption.

Vast rice plantation with about 3,156 hectares was ruined. Many farmers are left without a source of income.

January 27

President Rodrigo Duterte spoke up about the event happening in Albay. He said that he will come to Albay it’s just about the problem in the aircraft. He said, "It's the wind current you have to worry about because it will bring the ashes to where you are,". And added, "But if it's safe to go there, and even if it's not, you give me the space to land, if I'm cleared, I'll go there, in about one or two days."

He assured Governor Bichara, governor of Albay, that he will support Albay.

January 28

Drastically, the volcano erupted four times again. Lahar or mudflows are expected to spread over the town. President Duterte promptly gave PHP 20M to Governor Bichara and eventually stated that he will lend PHP50M.

The alert level 4 within the volcano didn’t change until on March 6 where PHIVOLCS lowered it into alert level 3.

March 25

Residents were allowed to come back to their respective homes as the government declared downgrade of an alert level from 3 to 2.

Shockingly, the volcano didn’t stay quiet and it blasted again in July.

'There's no time to relax. Even if the volcano looks calm from the distance, from our instrument, the volcano is still in abnormal condition,' says Phivolcs resident volcanologist Ed Laguerta

Mayon Volcanic Eruption Research (Week 2)

 WEEK 2 Research 

Here are the key points to week 2 research:

• Where exactly the volcanic eruption occurred?
• What caused Mayon Volcano to erupt?

Volcanic Eruption Research pt.2

    I had time to edit a video after my research in Social Studies. Here's the video:


Volcanic Eruption on Biteable.

Volcanic Eruption Research

A volcanic eruption is one of the extreme natural events that occur on our planet.  It happens because there is a hot liquid rock called magma that forms in the mantle of the earth’s layer and rises, could be because of too much pressure, and break through the crust then it creates an eruption. One of the examples of a volcanic eruption is the Mayon Volcano eruption which just happened last January this year. The Pacific Ring of Fire plays a big role in why volcanic eruptions occur.

The Pacific Ring of Fire or Circum-Pacific Belt is a horseshoe-shaped basin that shows seismically active regions where volcanoes(active), earthquakes, tectonic plates boundaries and epicenters can be found and the Philippines is one of the lists. The Pacific Ring of Fire serves as a guide and it is important because here we can see the countries that are certainly are affected with natural disasters especially volcanic eruption and earthquake and also experts uses this to study more about how and why such events occur. For example, experts look on the volcanic eruption phenomenon by their past and here they can find a pattern and percentages of when could some volcanoes erupt again. Pacific Ring of Fire hands in people with a perspective of disasters but at the same time Pacific Ring of Fire can give benefits to people and one can be when a volcanic activity where there could be a chance of tapping geothermal activity for heating and electricity.

Since the Philippines is in the belt of the Pacific Ring of Fire, in Albay, Manila Philippines, Mt Mayon volcano, its most active volcano, has already erupted 50 times in the last 500 years. The year 1814 was the volcano’s most violent eruption because it caused a massive devastation and killed 1200 people. Not only that year Mayon volcano became an extreme natural event, for example, 5 years ago the volcano once again took 5 lives. According to my research and I saw it on youtube( here’s the link), New Zealand is known for its having active volcanoes too and this year scientists are expecting that a volcanic eruption will occur.

Migration

In this term 3, we are tackling about migration in our Social Studies. 
Migration means the act of moving of the people from place to another.
There are types of factors that make people leave their place and transfer to another place and these are:
Push factors- these are the negative and bad list of reasons why people move to another location.
Pull factors- while push factors are the negatives, pull factors serve as the positive things that attract and captivates people to resettle place.

For the representation of my learning in this topic, I made this video for you discussing about migration.

I also learned an interesting information. FACT: Around 244 million of people in the whole world migrates globally. And if they are gathered around in one place they will create a country making the 5th's world's largest population.

Awesome Hieroglyphics

 On our social studies, we learned and still studying about Egyptians. Together with the lesson, we are learning their writing system which is hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphics is the way of the ancient people to communicate using symbols. If in our modern day we have our alphabets and etc, the ancient Egyptians had hieroglyphics.

Using the website Penn Museum, you can inscribe your name using hieroglyphics. It is awesome and fascinating! Go and check now!.

Paleolithic Stone Age

  Today I am going to share you my poster about Paleolithic Stone Age. It's just small information but it's brief.

Life Changing Inventions

        As we learn about the technology in our Social Studies, we are asked to do a poster about the inventions which created a big impact in our lives today. 

        I've researched 3 things that rised in our world with the help of technology and filed it up in one poster.
   

 Here's my poster. There you can see what is the invention, how is it 

used and how is it useful to us and also who is the inventor.

Then vs. Now (Technology)

       Yoohooo! In our social studies period, we are studying about the technology from the past to our generation. We tackled how does technology changed over time and how it changed our lives. For this topic, we worked on presentations to show technology then vs now.


       Here's my slide which will show you 20 technology creations which improved and changed the way we live:

Are students addicted to their phones?

       Now we are going to discuss my opinion on the topic : Are students addicted to their phones? Here's my SEEL paragraph stating my stand about this.

       I believe that students are addicted to their phones for either good and bad reasons. This is because some of them use it for really good purpose and some for just unimportant things. One example of a good reason for this is that some use it for studying, especially those that are not comfortable in using books as their essentials in learning. In the other side of it, instead of studying they just got distracted to other platforms of technology and dive more into it. For more advantages of being addicted to the phone is that you are always updated to what is happening in the world and opposing to this is that sometimes you are driving into other pieces of information that might be the reason of depression and anxiety. For example to this is viewing other's people's lives and get envious of them cause you don't have that kind of life like them. These are my point of view about this certain topic that is really relevant to our generation.

Child Soldiers

                 For today's topic is about Child Soldiers. We were taught what is the meaning of Child Soldiers.

                 Child Soldiers are the employment of children girls or boys who are trained and taught to fight. They are trained to fight in a war with armed groups. There are over 250,000 child soldiers in the world in the ages of 8-18.

                  This is my map showing the 10 Extreme Countries for Child Soldiers. Here's the link https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1i2zF8zTnbm0hy0yWkh6pceDnIuDJ8XoY&ll=11.20871487741734%2C10.829320499999994&z=3. There you can see the information in every country that performs Child Soldiers.

Seel Paragraph:

 Boys and girls tend to join military services in over 85 countries in the world.They join armed forces groups to get revenge and justice for their loved ones. By joining the armed groups, they are being provided education and shelter.For example, in the Central African Republic, most of the children who join the rebels wanted to avenge for the family that have been killed by the other terrorists wherein you can see their passion to fight and in their words the hatred and loneliness being bereaved .Wars are all over the world that's why we can't stop these children to find for the peaceful life.

Child Labor

                  Hello everyone! How's your day? Today we are going to talk about child labor and let's begin!.

What is Child Labor?

  -Child labor is the engaging of children to work that affects them physically, mentally and morally unsafely and that impedes them to live freely.

We were assigned to work on Google Maps and locate all the Top 11 Extreme Countries for Child Labor.

This is my map and here's the link to it https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1LkyDNDSwnxVeGeBzNcvakhOuutkN2COJ&ll=6.5061949881868095%2C29.99140675000001&z=3.

You can see there what are the countries involves the extreme occurrence of child labor. Every pin of countries also shows data and pictures about what are the population of the children engaged in child labor and what kind of workforce they do.

We also made a SEEL paragraph which stands for Statement, Explanation, Example, and Link.

We created a SEEL paragraph about Why are children used in labor and how this takes away their Human Rights and Freedom?

Many children in our planet are victims of illegal forced labor. The reason is that because of adversity and hardships are widespread in different countries and these countries exploit minors to get benefits from their works. For example, in Eritrea, they trade children to work in farms and factories which they are being abused and they take advantage of children. The employers here most likely to hire children since they pay them a little unlike the other adult whose working to them. These lead those children to be uneducated, physical and mental tortured, destroyed childhood, and future ruined which completely out of their Human Rights.

Harriet Tubman : The Slave Who Freed Slaves

      

               Hi everyone!This is Harriet Tubman who led slaves to escape at the hands of the cruelty of Americans. She led them to the Underground Railroad and became famous for being the 'conductor'. Harriet was an inborn slave who awakens and saved a thousand of ungranted human rights slaves. This is my poster about Harriet Tubman.

Work Songs

The topic for today is still on slavery. We've been taught that the slaves were forced to work to pick tobacco and cotton. They were working hard even though the sun is burning their skin. They've got nothing to do but to work hard cause someone's watching over them and will hit them if they are being sluggish. For them to be alive while working, they sing songs called work songs. They convey they feel that time through work song.

We are asked some questions and these are:

Explain the feeling that you get when you listen to these songs?

-I feel pity for them. I can feel the pain when they sing. That they can't do anything to get their own freedom. The pity that makes me want to help them to ease their pain but I know I can't. The unity to make a beautifully harmonized voices is so smooth to hear but the agony is still there.

What kind of information about slavery did you learn from these songs?
-The information that I learn about slavery from these songs is that they are really longing to get back to their home, that they want to come back to where they belong and that the hope still remains in their hearts despite the cruel treatment of life to them. Slavery never did well for everyone. Slavery wasn't welcome to the life of people but still won to trap them and chained them until they suffer to death.

What can you relate to in any of these songs?
-Unlike them, I own myself and I'm responsible for taking care of it. The song 'Sweet Chariot' really captured my heart and it goes inside me. The feeling of yearning to come back home is matching with my feeling. I understand how sore it is when you want to go home but you can't. Endurance is such an important thing for this. Without endurance, the pain will continue to stab you and will make you weak.

What do you think the slaves are talking about in these songs?
-The life of being a slave. The hardship going through the ruthless hand of white people. The misery that they experienced and the greedy life that takes all their rights of living.


Here you can listen to the song 'Sweet Chariot"

Slave Trade Triangle Map

What is the Slave Trade Triangle?

The Slave Trade Triangle is the intruding of Europeans in the place of Africans and made them slaves to barter them with guns, equipment, and goods.

What is the First Passage?

The First Passage is the voyage of the Portuguese to Africa which they carried guns and invaded Africa to get slaves and used them to take in the Carribean.

What is the Middle Passage?

The African slaves were taken to the ship which is their first time riding that kind of thing. They've been molested, treated so cruel and killed thousands of them. After the ship journey, they have been taken in the South Carolina and they are the first batch to be taken there.
The slaves have been traded with cotton, tobacco and other products.

What is the Third Passage?
The Europeans came back to Europe to take the traded goods and used them to bought guns and weapons. Then the cycle came again.

Human Rights

My Top 5 Human Rights

Last Friday we are assigned to do a poster and pick our top 5 Human Rights. 

My top 5 are:

• Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind.

I choose this human right because it is important to distinguish who are the ones will obtain the rights and I love how this Article mentioned that everyone without distinction of any kind.

• Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of a person.

I choose this human right because it states that we have the right to live our lives in our own ways and as a person, it is one of the most important things in our existence in this world.

• Everyone has the right to freedom of thought conscience and religion.

We all know that we have different opinions on life and it is important to express our own thoughts. Religion is one of the fundamental things that is being treasured and cherished to most of the people.

• Everyone has the right to rest and leisure.

This human right is also crucial because as a human being we have limited capacity for living. We are human beings that live to work and we can't work all day because resting is needed to gain energy to work for the next day.

• Everyone has the rights to education.

This article expresses that everyone is allowed to education because learning is our purpose in our life, without learning we will not have the knowledge to do things and I choose this right as one of the most important rights.
