  Rise of the Woman: Our Choice, Our Future, Our Triumph   “As women, we have to start appreciating our own worth and each other’s worth. Seek out strong women to befriend, to align yourself with, to learn from, to collaborate with, to be inspired by, to support, and enlightened by.”  – Madonna Respect, love, and care are simply things to do and share in order to assist and encourage women to have trust and have faith in themselves and remember their worth as a person and as a woman. As we celebrate National Women's Month, may we remember and let us lighten up our minds and souls to respect, love, and care for them, not just this time as we celebrate this occasion, but because they are worthy enough to experience these simple things that can remind them of their worth.          Women have been abused in various ways, whether physical, mental, or emotional, and they continue to be harmed. As they go through these experiences, they los...

              The Araw ng Kagitingan commemorates the Philippines' last stand before being conquered by the Japanese during World War II. After Congress passed Republic Act 3022 in 1961, April 9 was designated as “Bataan Day” and declared a holiday. As part of Executive Order No. 203 in 1987, the holiday was renamed “Araw ng Kagitingan.” In 1989, Proclamation 466 designated the week of April 5 to 11 as “Veterans Week” to honor all Philippine military veterans, not just those who served during WWII.           The Philippines was attacked by Japanese forces, bringing the conflict full circle and potentially leading to the fall of Bataan. This day also commemorates the infamous Death March, in which approximately 76,000 Filipino, American, and Chinese officers were forced to walk 90 miles) from Bataan to Camp O'Donnell in Capas, Tarlac by the Japanese. The climb was genuinely exhausting for the Filipino, Americ...

                 Many Christians have heard of Lent, but do they all understand what it entails? Lent is defined as "the 40 weekdays from Ash Wednesday to Easter observed as a period of penitence and fasting by the Roman Catholic, Eastern, and some Protestant churches." Lent is intended to be a period of repentance. That is not a sense of shame, but rather an awareness of how sin separates us from God and what it cost Him to be reconciled with us. “Shame has its place, but feeling shame over sin is not the same as repentance from sin,” because “our tempter can turn our obedience to God into a source of pride.” As a non-Catholic, my observation during Lenten season, Catholic people attend mass, giving their best to seek God’s kingdom, even if we are in the midst of this pandemic.  They also attend the called “Ash Wednesday” during February 17, as a start of the Lenten Season.  On Ash Wednesday, a priest gathers ashes and rubs ...

  I raise up my voice—not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard. … We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back. -Malala Yousafzai Women's History Month is an annual celebration of women's contributions to history, culture, and community that takes place in March. In Santa Rosa, California, Women's History Month started as a local event. In 1978, the Sonoma County Commission on the State of Women's Education Task Force organized and conducted a "Women's History Week" celebration. The week of March 8 was chosen by the organizers to coincide with International Women's Day. Many groups began their own Women's History Week celebrations the next year, spreading the initiative around the world. All throughout the history, women have suffered a lot of challenges throughout  their lives, but as they face those challenges with dignity and pride they’ve overcome all those things and coop up with it easy. Women’s des...
