Chinese New Year: Attract Prosperity and Hope

 Filipinos observe Chinese New Year due to the significant cultural influence of the Filipino-Chinese community in the Philippines. The historical presence of Chinese immigrants in the country has led to a rich exchange of traditions and customs. Over the years, these practices have been embraced by many Filipinos, regardless of their ethnic background. The celebration serves as a reminder of the Philippines' multicultural heritage, highlighting the harmonious coexistence of various cultures within the nation.


The festive spirit of Chinese New Year resonates deeply with Filipinos, who cherish opportunities to gather with family and friends. Similar to other major holidays like Christmas and New Year’s Day, Chinese New Year is a time for reunions, feasting, and merriment. Families often prepare special dishes that symbolize good fortune, such as tikoy (a sticky rice cake), and partake in various activities that promote luck and prosperity. The joyful atmosphere encourages a sense of community and togetherness, making it a beloved occasion for many.

Moreover, the Philippine government officially recognized Chinese New Year as a special non-working holiday in 2012, further solidifying its importance in Filipino culture. This recognition allows Filipinos to partake in the festivities without the constraints of work, enabling them to fully engage in the traditions associated with the celebration. As a result, the observance of Chinese New Year has become an integral part of the Filipino calendar, reflecting the country's appreciation for cultural diversity and the shared values of hope, prosperity, and family unity.

I learned about HTML, HTML tags, tables, rows and etc. The challenges that I encounter is that I am not fast when it comes to typing words especially our topics is encoding but at time passes by I am slowly getting fast typing words in our computer but even though I am already fast, our computer kept turning off when someone unintentionally touch or move the outlet wherein the computer is plugged in and we need to do it again.

There are a lot of benefits that we can get from cleaning, such as health benefits (a clean environment reduces the risk of diseases), sustainable resources (a clean environment is essential for the preservation of natural resources), biodiversity preservation (cleanliness helps protect diverse ecosystems and endangered species), etc. I can say that cleaning is an investment in our future. By taking action today and every day, we can have a healthier environment in the future. Practicing cleanliness can make a difference for us.

New Quarter, New Knowledge

 The learning or discoveries that I have gained during this quarter are Html where in I learned about the Nested List and Description list. We also tackled CBR or Community-Based Research, I learned the parts of the CBR and the purpose of the research. The problems or challenges that I encountered are the nested list and designing the web page of our CBR. It's difficulty for me to do the Nested List because I didn't really understand about the topic. Designing our CBR is also difficult because me and my team really don't know how to design a web page. Fortunately, one of my team mates know how to do it. I address this challenges by asking for help with my classmates, teacher and practice teacher. By asking them, it became understandable making the work easier for me to accomplished. Moving on, I will study harder and I will keep learning. I will continue learning about HTML so that my knowledge about it will grow.
