Green Warriors of Cabuloan: Teams Up For Clean-Up Drive

 


In accordance to the Clean-Up Drive Project of the Barangay officials of Cabuloan, Sta. Catalina on August 16 & 23, 2025 headed by Captain Edwin Raras, the barangay officials, workers, residents and students of barangay Cabuloan enthusiastically participated in the said project to promote public health and encourages the community to work together to clean up the surrounding and develop a sense of pride and ownership. 


The activity started at 6:00 AM and went for two hours. The volunteers, called "Green Warriors of Cabuloan" collected littered plastics, cans, wastes, leaves, other unwanted materials left on the ground and broken glass or sharp metal objects can injure people, especially children playing outdoors. The  volunteers also unclogged the blocked water drainage to prevent flooding and attracting of pests like rats and insects which may carry diseases. This initiative promotes clean public spaces, reduced health risks and create safer environments for everyone. 



Moreover, this activity can lead to long-term changes in behavior, such as reducing littering and supporting recycling programs. Not only clean up drives raise awareness about pollution and waste management but also provide opportunities for people to meet their neighbors, build friendship, and strengthen community bonds.  Let's work together to ensure that future generations inherit a world that is clean, vibrant and full of life. 


Clean-up drives are more than just picking up trash—this is a powerful effort for protecting the environment, improving public health, and building stronger communities. By participating in or organizing a clean up drive, you can make a real difference in your neighborhood and inspire others to care for the environment. Remember, every piece of litter removed is a step toward a cleaner, safer, and more beautiful world. Whether you join a large event or simply pick up trash during a walk, your actions matter. So, get involved, stay motivated, and help lead the way to cleaner future! 


A clean environment is vital for our health, the health of other living things, and the overall well-being of our planet. It provides economic, social, and environmental benefits that improve our lives in many ways. By taking steps to reduce pollution and protect natural resources, we can ensure a better future generations. Remember, the choices we make today will shape the world of tomorrow. Let's work together to keep our environment clean and healthy!



There are many ways we can help to keep our environment clean. Some simple actions include: reducing waste by recycling and reusing items, properly disposing of trash and hazardous materials, conserving water and energy, planting trees and maintaining green spaces, using public transportation, biking, or walking instead of driving, and supporting policies and organizations that protect the environment. Every small action adds up. If everyone does their part, we can make a big difference. 


Environmental awareness is a crucial concept in today's world, especially as we face growing environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. It is the foundation for creating a sustainable future. By understanding the challenges we face and recognizing our role in protecting the planet, we can make choices that benefit both people and nature. Whether through individual actions, community involvement, or supporting broader policy changes, everyone has a part to play. Always remember that small changes can have a big impact. The equation for a sustainable future is simple: informed choices equals a healthier planet.


Every day, our environment faces challenges from pollution, litter, and waste. These problems may seem overwhelming, but students have the power to make a real differences. One of the most effective ways for students to help is by supporting clean-up drives in their schools and communities. By participating in these drives, students not only help to create a cleaner environment but also inspire others to take action. 





Students can make meaningful change by supporting clean-up drives. These events help protect the environment, raise awareness, and build stronger communities. By taking action, students can encourage everyone to contribute to a healthier planet, no matter their age. The next time you see litter in your neighborhood or school, remember that you have the power to make a difference. Organize or join clean-up drive, and encourage your friends to do the same. Together, students can lead the way toward a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future. 


Cooperation is the key to preserving the environment. By working together, we can tackle global challenges, share resources and ideas, and create a fairer, healthier world for everyone. The problems we face are too big for any one person or nation to solve alone, but united, we have the power to make a lasting difference. The future of our planet depends on our ability to cooperate—so let's join hands and protect the environment for ourselves and for the future generations to come.

Stepping Stones of Wisdom

 

    "We are not what we know but what we are willing to learn."

     


 
During this first quarter, I gained many new lessons. I discovered that having time management helps me accomplish more in less time. It also proves that being persistent and dedicated may lead to better results. Additionally, I learn better when I stay focused and avoid distractions which helps me understand the topic well. 

  One of the biggest challenges I faced was meeting the deadlines of our project or performance tasks.There were times when I felt pressure due to the many activities and quizzes. At times, I faced challenges in other subject that require critical thinking. Another difficulty I encountered was my struggle to communicate my answers during recitations. Sometimes I know the answer but it is difficult to express or explain it clearly. 

    Behind those tears, I managed to overcome these challenges, by organizing and making a plan so that I knew what to do first. Next is practicing those weaknesses, I actually practice my communication skills here at home, and also when there is a subject that I don't know I'll search it up on the internet. These are the things that help me to address those challenges and problems throughout my journey. 

    Moving on, I will continue to improve myself. Maintain a positive attitude, consistency, and dedication. This next quarter, I'm excited to focus on growth by reflecting on the lessons I've learned from the past few months. Transforming experiences into stepping stones is key to improvement.

Go, Grow, Glow Everyday!

 

 "The greatest wealth is health." 

        

            We may live healthier and better lives thanks to Nutrition Month. Additionally, this month informs teachers and students like us about healthy habits such as avoiding junk food and washing their hands before eating. It's an enjoyable way to look after our bodies and teach other what we've learned. 

 It was memorable and enjoyable. My classmates participated in the Nutri-Jingle competition. Even after class, we practiced a lot. We did our best on the day of the contest. When we won Sayawit Nutri-Jingle Vigan City, we were happy and proud because we didn't expect that we would win this spot. We then went to the nationals and finished in third place! In regionals, we got eight place. I realized the importance of eating well and working as a team. Given that this is my final year of junior high, it was one of the best journeys of my school life. 

        Nutrition Month taught me the importance of working together as a team and giving my best in whatever I do. I also gained confidence. I learned that everything is achievable with enough effort and teamwork when we won the Nutri-Jingle. These are lessons that I'll be keeping in mind when I graduate from junior high. For the sake of our shared health and happiness, I wish that more students participate in and enjoy Nutrition Month. 






Behind this picture, it captured the spirit of dedication and teamwork.

Letter for Mr. President

 Dear Mr. President 

  
      


Good day! I just want to thank you for your hard work and commitment. As a Filipino who loves country, I hope that you will continue to maintain your leadership to ensure a better living for every Filipino. However, we Filipinos have problems like inflation, pollution, violations of human rights, and environmental issues. I respectfully ask you to focus on this phenomenon as well as health, education, and environmental protection initiatives. 

        I also want to emphasize the need to address the challenges faced by workers, farmers, and those in need. Also on how to stop corruption so that we can have good governance, and improve public services, especially in health care. These issues call for not only effective policies but also a compassionate approach that genuinely listens to the voices of those who are unheard. 

   


While perfection isn't expected, I hope you continue to listen to us, young generations, those in need, and who are rural residents. Thank you for reading this letter. I believe we can create a better future with leaders who truly care about the people. 



 Respectfully,

  Rabe, Althea Mae R.

Tracing My Own Steps

    "What you do today can improve all your tomorrows" by Ralph Marston. 


    
My name is Althea Mae Rabe, but people can call me "Thea". Some of my hobbies are crocheting, cooking, playing volleyball, and watching K-dramas. With these hobbies, helps me to avoid boredom. My ambition is to be a nurse someday to help people by treating or healing them, like my uncle who's in abroad now with his family. If god wills, I would also like to study civil engineering after completing my nursing degree. 

       I've heard that some people thought I was not friendly, but in real life, I love making friends. When I was in elementary school, I didn't have any friends and experienced bullying in grade 4. Whenever I see a person being left out, I feel sorry because I know how it feels to be alone in a classroom where you can see your classmates with their friends laughing. I have a small circle of friends, yet they are my true friends. I ensure that they don't experience the loneliness that I felt back then. 

      Moving on, both my parents are hardworking people, and I adore and idolize them. My father is an OFW who provides us with money for our education, with my brother, and for our house. While, my mother is not only taking care of us, but she's also mu number one best friend in my entire life. Lastly, mu sibling, my older brother, has been my basher throughout my life. Despite his rudeness towards me, I can see how he always looks out for me and support me when I need him. My family is very important to me since they are the ones who will support me no matter what, make me joyful, no judgements, and be there when I'm at my lowest. 
    
  
    

Playing lawn tennis is one of my favorite sport. I once joined in R1AA and was glad to meet wonderful people through this sport. It was chaotic, filled with laughter, moments of sadness and those meaningful conversations. However it's bittersweet to realize that this year, I won't be able to represent my school and city because I want to prioritize my studies first. Even if I'm not on the court, I will surely be on the sidelines cheering for them. 




     Aside from that, I'm still learning who I am, my weaknesses, and my strengths throughout this journey. I'm excited for the future to become a better yet successful person.
