The Cleaner Today, The Greener Tomorrow.

 DO MORE, TALK LESS

Clean-Up Drive

This photo shows us actively engaged in cleaning our surroundings. 

This reflects community cleanliness, teamwork, and care for nature, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a clean and green environment in our Barangay. 

No matter the environment, it's our duty to take care and clean mother nature. God created this world, we promised him to take care of his creations and the gifts that he has given us in order to survive.

 

One simple broom can make a BIG CHANGE for our environment. Simple yet helpful, small actions like sweeping and removing waste can create a healthier, greener, and brighter world for us.

The more who cares the GREATER the impact.

Taking part in community clean-up drives is an essential effort that supports the creation of a healthier and more sustainable environment. These activities help minimize pollution, curb the spread of diseases, and safeguard natural resources by clearing waste from neighborhoods, public areas, and waterways. In addition to their environmental impact, clean-up drives promote social responsibility and encourage unity, as members of the community come together to work toward a shared purpose. Such initiatives not only improve cleanliness and safety but also serve as a model for others to practice environmental stewardship. Ultimately, community clean-up drives play a crucial role in enhancing public well-being and preserving a clean, green environment for generations to come.

It’s Only The Beginning

 As the first quarter of the school year ends, I can’t help but look back at everything I’ve gone through these past weeks. Honestly, it feels like it went by so fast, yet at the same time, it was full of challenges that tested my patience, discipline, and determination.

At the beginning, I was excited but also nervous. I didn’t know what to expect from my teachers, my subjects, or even from myself. There were days when I felt motivated and ready to give my best, but there were also days when I felt tired, stressed, and tempted to give up. Balancing schoolwork, personal responsibilities, and even my own well-being was not always easy.

New school year, new classroom, new friends. It's hard for me to adjust to a new environment every year. Though this year was different, it usually takes me like 3-4 months to get used to the new environment, but something about this years batch is different. I start to consider Marconi as my home.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

One of the biggest lessons I learned this quarter is that effort really matters. Even when I made mistakes or didn’t get the score I wanted, I realized that what’s important is to keep trying and not let one failure define me. I also discovered that time management is something I still need to improve. There were moments when procrastination got the best of me, and I ended up cramming, which made me more stressed. But at the same time, those struggles taught me what I should change moving forward.

Another thing I’m grateful for is the support of my classmates and teachers. Whenever lessons got too difficult, having people to ask for help made things lighter. I also appreciated the small wins, like finishing a tough project, answering in class, or just understanding a lesson I first thought was impossible. These little victories reminded me that growth doesn’t always happen all at once—it happens slowly, step by step.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Started to make new friends that I would love to grow old with. May our bond never break us apart. I realized, as I get older, that the harder it is for me to make new friends. Though that's not a problem since, knowing me, I can be a bit of an extrovert.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Looking ahead to the next quarter, I want to improve not just in academics but also in my attitude. I want to be more disciplined, avoid procrastination, and be more confident in myself. I know it won’t be perfect, but I believe I can do better if I stay consistent and committed.

Overall, this first quarter was a mix of struggles and growth, stress and learning, failures and small successes. And even though it wasn’t easy, I’m thankful because it helped me become more aware of my strengths and weaknesses. I’m motivated to continue improving, not just for grades, but for myself and the kind of student I want to become.

Happy Health, Happy Students.

         This year’s Nutrition Month celebration in our school was both fun and educational. The theme reminded us about the importance of eating healthy food and living an active lifestyle. Our teacher prepared different activities that made us realize how proper nutrition affects our daily lives, especially in helping us focus on our studies and stay energetic throughout the day.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As we started making the food for the contest, I then realized that it started to deepen our bond not only as classmates but as a family. We truly had a great time as all of us participated the different activities.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

        One of the highlights of the celebration was the variety of contests and presentations. We had poster-making, slogan contests, and even a cooking activity where we learned how to prepare simple but nutritious meals. My classmates and I also joined group presentations that promoted healthy eating through songs and skits. It was exciting to see everyone participate and show their creativity while spreading awareness about nutrition.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It was fun for all of us that we participated in the activities. We learned a lot, and we also bonded a lot.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

        Overall, celebrating Nutrition Month was a meaningful experience. I gained new knowledge about the benefits of eating vegetables, fruits, and balanced meals, as well as the importance of avoiding junk food. The activities not only strengthened our awareness but also brought us closer together as a class and as a school community. I truly enjoyed the celebration, and it motivated me to start practicing healthier habits in my everyday life.

Mixed Feelings but I Only Feel One of Them.

 

 Dear President Marcos

I hope this letter finds you well.

            I am writing to you so I can express my personal opinion as a concerned citizen of the Philippines. I believe that every Filipino has the right and the responsibility to share their thoughts with our leaders, especially when it comes to the future of our country.

It shows that you wanted to follow your fathers footsteps in leading this country to greatness. The responsibilty now lies in you.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

            To be honest, my opinion about your leadership is mixed. There are areas where I believe you have shown strength and potential, and others where I feel more could be done, or where things have fallen short of expectations.

            This image captures a moment of leadership and commitment. It symbolizes unity, service, and dedication to your people.

 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

             I appreciate your efforts in certain aspects of governance, such as food security, which bolsters the education sector with scores of school buildings, decreases the price of rice, and implements rainwater collection systems and battery energy storage facilities. These are valuable improvements that will help our country move forward.

            In these challenging times, it is important to remember that the true strength of our nation lies not in division, but in unity. 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    `    

            However, I also have concerns about the conflict between the Duterte and Marcos families, press freedom, access to public health, crackdown on corruption, labor and security, accountability on the war on drugs, and prevention of further HR abuse. As a citizen, I believe it is important that these issues are addressed with honesty, urgency, and clear communication with the people.

I am not writing this to criticize for the sake of criticism, but to share a voice that I believe reflects how many Filipinos feel—hopeful, yet cautious; supportive, yet watchful.

I hope your administration will continue to listen to the people, remain open to feedback, and lead with a genuine desire to serve the nation above all else.

Thank you for your time and service. I wish you strength and wisdom in the challenges ahead.

Respectfully,

Loveinne Angel Alamar

Curly Girly In A Whirly in this Twirly World

 Curly Girly In A Whirly in this Twirly World

Before we get into the stories and things about my life, let’s know why and where my parents got my name “Loveinne”. When my mom was pregnant, my father went to Taiwan so he could provide for our family. While my father was in Taiwan, he discovered a church. He was so fascinated by the name, so he decided to name me after the name of the church; that's when my name was finally made “Loveinne.” I love how it’s very unique and how it actually suits me. Though I often get called love, loveyn, beyn, elle, and lobeyn to my close friends and classmates, angel and angela to my family.

This photo was recently taken this August. I started to like the color purple on me, though nothing can outshine my actual favorite, which is navy blue. We can start with the basics of knowing me personally. My favorite color is blue, any shade of blue. My favorite music artists are Rihanna, Tyler, the Creator, Drake, A$AP Rocky, Joji, Sombr, Bad Bunny, PND, Lana Del Ray, and last but not least, The Weeknd. The subjects that I'm most interested in are Science, English, ICT, and AP.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This photo was taken back in January 2011, and I was still 8 months old at that time. My mom made me nap as she doesn't want me to be all cranky when we go to the carnival that day. My Aunt took this pic of me when I was sleeping soundly. As you can see, my hair is starting to curl a lot, which I inherited from these genes from both sides of the family. 

Now going back to things and stories about my life, I’m the type of person to be joyful to my friends, be shy to strangers, be my weird self to my family, and be my true self to my true friends. As a teenager, life is tough for me and for all of us. We have to deal with the mood swings, social media, hormones, menstruation, my appearance, my academics, my future, and most importantly, my health. Growing up, I never thought I would come this far. I actually can’t believe that next year, I’m graduating. Goodbye junior high school, hello senior year, which means new year, new friends, new classmates, and a new room. I love discovering new things and learn more about them, yet it can be triggering for me sometimes since I’ll have to adjust to a new environment. The only problem is that I have attachment issues, which means it will be hard for me to get used to my new surroundings, as I miss the old ones that I’m very much used to. Though I'm trying to distance myself from others as I don't want to repeat the same situation that I faced in my grade 8 and grade 9 years. As for my interests, I love reading, writing poems, listening to music, cooking, and cleaning. But mostly, what I really love is writing. I can actually get to write to my heart's content. My whole life is like my curly hair, curly because curly hair can be chaotic yet fun; it’s really a hassle for me to maintain and make it look neat. My curly hair is like a tornado; sometimes it looks neat, sometimes it looks chaotic, or should I say puffy/messy, which is actually based on my whole life right now. 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

This photo was taken back when I was in Grade 9. I was still unsure about my decisions in life, on what course I should take, and what I wanted to do. I'm sure all of us have that phase, when things are still undecided. It can be hard to find the right one that truly fits your interests and the things that you're good at. Follow the goal that you're truly sure of, not the goal that you are still unsure of; in the end, you'll end up regretting it.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Wish I could go back to this time, where everything was stress-free, where I could just take a breather. This picture was taken back in July 2012, my lola and I went out to buy me a new toy, that toy was a doll house. I cherished it so much that I still have it to this day. Though I'm not the one playing it anymore, my little cousins are.  It's a shame that I couldn't go back to the time when I could still enjoy my childhood.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

My goal in life? Now that’s a tough but also an easy question. Traveling the world is one of them. I want to learn each country's history and culture. Experience the beauty in every country. Like seeing every beautiful curl in your hair. Becoming an accountant is also one. I want to take my mother’s footsteps since she wanted to pursue being an accountant, but never had the chance to, since my lola wanted her to be a nurse. So now, I’m taking the path that my mom wanted me to be and continuing the course that she wanted for me. I love my mother; she’s like curly hair, actually. Messy yet beautiful, everyone is born to be imperfect, not perfect. I would also like to build and design my dream house someday, and I want it to be somewhere in Europe. This might sound so cliché, but I want to be successful in life. Not just in money, but also in health, love, and status.

This was in June 2025, when I celebrated my 15th Birthday, where everything changed for me. It made me realize that the older I get, the closer I get to my dreams, yet still so far away. As I blew out the candles on my cake, I was filled with a mix of hope and uncertainty. I started to understand that dreams are journeys, not just destinations. With passions for music, art, and science pulling me in different directions, I reflected on the steps I needed to take to pursue them. I promised myself to embrace every experience, knowing that each choice could lead me closer to who I wanted to become. As summer began, I felt a renewed determination to face the future with an open heart.

You’ve probably noticed by now that I’m basing my whole life on my curly hair. Life can be messy, tough, ugly, unpleasant, like a curly hair.  But life can also be challenging, pretty, have bigger opportunities, like a curly hair. So life is like a curly hair, who knew that life and curly hair has so much in common?
