Equal Rights, Equal Oppurtunities

Equal Rights

          Right to equality means the absence of legal discrimination against any one individual, group, class or race. In earlier times certain classes possessed special privileges or were judged by special law.

         The modern tendency is to enforce the same law over all persons in the State and to give all persons equal rights and privileges in the protection of their civil liberties. Democracy can only exist and flourish in a society of equals.

          The Constitution of India makes social and civil equality the bedrock of Indian polity. It guarantees equality of all persons before the law, prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth as between citizens, and abolishes accountability on the one hand and titles on the other. 

          The concept of equality of all persons before the laws has a significant bearing and it is one of the ingredients of what Dicey calls the Rule of Law. The Rule of Law means three things with Dicey. It means, in the first place, the absolute supremacy of law.

          There should be nothing which may be characterized as an arbitrary power and every action of government must be authorized by law. Then, there should be the supremacy of law and no one may be punished except for definite breach of law which must be proved in a duly constituted court of law.

          Thirdly, it means equality before the law, that is, every citizen is subject to the ordinary law of the land and has to stand trial in the same law courts whatever his status or position in society. The Rule of Law is no respecter of persons.

          It is not 'a rule of men', but a measure of liberty enjoyed by the people. Law should neither be arbitrary nor should it guarantee privilege or take account of privilege. Rich and poor, high and low must be equal before the law. But the judiciary must be independent and impartial if the Rule of Law can mean anything real.

Reflection

               Problems are the things that we don't want to come but we could not force it not to come. No one can predict it. But in some sights, were the one who creates problems in our lives.
               On this second quarter, a big problem devastated my life. It was the death of my great grandmother. This happening ruined my whole life. I was absent for how many days because I could not go over with it. It was hard for me to accept. Because of this matter, my studies were affected so much. I have missed many quizzes. It was hard for me to coped up with the lessons. I could not pass my projects on time in the fact that I am bothered of all the bad happenings in my life. As days passed by, second quarter exam is coming nearer and my notes were incomplete. I was worried at that time because I could not make it on a short period of time. I felt down. I could not see hope.
              But as time passed by, I just then realized that having problems was not the reason to felt down. Problems can cheer you up. You'll learned lessons on it. They were just challenges in our lives. Accept it and move on.

Intramurals

Intramural 2014

              Intramural literally means 'written on the walls,' in other words, an intramural program is one that is carried on within the confines of a school or institutions. It is gradually increasing in stature, size and scope.

               Last September 19, our school conducted the opening program of our school's intramural at the school's centennial gymnasium. The athletes had their parade first inside the campus before the program. On the next day, September 19, was the first day of intramural.It was raining but the intramural was not cancelled, it was still going on. The different clubs conducted different booths to add some excitement. There are message booth, marriage booth, movie booth and more. Supposed to be that our intramural will be conducted at two days but the next day, September 20, was the arrival of the typhoon Mario so that our intramural was postponed. We continued it on the weekdays. Those students who were not athletes, will be given a chance to watch only during Mapeh time. It was a weird policy for me. I didn't enjoyed it because of the rain and that policy.

               The purpose of intramural program in schools is to offer an opportunity for voluntary participation in a varsity type program.

My Teacher, My Hero

My Teacher, My Hero!

               Have you ever asked these questions to yourself? Who was it that risked her life that she might give that knowledge to me? Who was it that braved a thousand storms that sheltered it might be?

               A teacher does it for me. A teacher that bears you're pains and sorrows. A teacher that trusts and stands by you always. A teacher that acts a second mother in school. 

               When I was a sophomore, I met this beautiful, young and charming teacher.At the  first place, I was shy and scared to her. But as days passed by, that shy and frightfulness to her was dissolving. We became close to each other. When I have a problems, her shoulders are always there to cry or lean on. She gives me advice's and confrontations. She's an angel in disguise.

              I am very thankful to have her in my life. She's the best teacher I've ever met. She's one of a kind of a hero.

In this case, have you ever think the disadvantages of these despite of their advantages? Did you ever know that these things might affect your health and the cause of your death?

These inventions of us, may affect our health. For example, the television. It contains radiation that causes to poor eyesight. We, people must invent some things with the use of non-toxic materials that may not affect our health. Why not use indigenous materials in spite of the toxic ones? Its better to use recyclable materials to lessen the trash in our surroundings and pollution.

               Were facing a crisis in our country right now, so let's make a move. Be smart to make our nation a better one. Be thrifty. Use recyclable materials instead of buying expensive materials is a big help for us.

My Modern Hero

Have you seen this boy?

          In the middle of the classroom, I just stood there shocked. Watching the fire to grew bigger. Until I realized that I'm in danger. I did not know what to do at that time, I'm hopeless. I just thought to myself that it was impossible for me to survive. I thought it would be my last day here on earth. I just closed my eyes and waited the fire to reach me. Until I felt a warm hand that pulled me away.......

          It was the Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC) Workshop. I was chosen by our school paper adviser to be one of the participants. I was assigned on the Editorial Writing. The program started with the speeches of the guests. As the program ended, I went to the designated room for the the Editorial Writing. Were too many participants. In the fact that I'm the first one who reached the classroom, I sat on the front row while the late comers stayed outside the classroom. The electric fan and the computer was near to me. Before the lecture started, we have prayed first. In the middle of the lecture, the computer and electric fan overheated. A fire occurred. Everyone panicked. The electrical lines were sparkling. There were live currents on it. It was scary. Some cried while some shouted for help. It was too hard for me to escape the room because it was crowded. At the door, there were some chairs hindering. A stranded occurred. My fellow students were moving vastly to escape while me, I just stood there with mouth wide-opened because of shockness. Until I realized that I'm in danger. I'm very hopeless at that time. I thought to myself that this was my last day on earth. I closed my eyes and waited the fire to reach me. As I was crying in frightness, a warm hand pulled me away. I thought that I was in heaven at that time. Until I heard a loud cries. As I opened my eyes, I saw a boy smiling at me while saying,"You're safe."

          He is small, with a korean black hair style. He has a fair complexion. I was not given a chance to know his name. I owe my life to him. He's  my knight in shining armor. My unknown hero!

Wika ng Pagkakaisa

          "Ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa malansang isda, " isa ito sa mga katagang iniwan ni Gat Jose Rizal sa atin.
          Nakasanayan na natin na tuwing sumasapit ang buwan ng Agosto ay ipinagdiriwang natin ang Buwan ng Wika. Ang tema ng Buwan ng Wika ngayon ay,"Wika ng Pagkakaisa." Ipinapahiwatig nito na gamitin natin ang ating sariling wika sa pagbabayanihan. Magtulungan tayo gamit ito para magkaintindihan. Huwag nating tangkilikin ang mga banyagang salita. Nasaang sulok ka man ng mundo, dapat marunong kang lumingon sa iyong pinanggalingan.
          Ipagmalaki mo na ikaw ay Pilipino. Mahalin at gamitin ang sarili nating wika.
