Reflections on My HTML Journey(2nd Quarter): Challenges and Discoveries

Image
During this quarter, I have learned a lot about HTML, especially the importance of tags like the break rule, which is denoted as <br>, horizontal rule as <hr>, and various formatting tags. The tools helped me understand how to enhance text alignment using attributes and add background colors for aesthetic appeal.  However, I faced problems in my process, especially when working with tags for HTML images. Sometimes, the images did not appear correctly in my file, and I was frustrated and delayed by this. This taught me to be more precise with file paths and to double-check syntax to avoid mistakes.

Collaboration with them solved my problems and also strengthened my understanding of the concepts. I will keep on practicing and exploring HTML t...

Safeguarding Dignity: Understanding the Laws Protecting Women and Children from Violence and Abuse in the Philippines

 The Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004, or Republic Act No. 9262 , was enacted as a prime law aimed at protecting women and their children from abuse and violence.

Climate Change and the Resilience of Filipinos: Rising Above Challenges

Image
The climate crisis has become one of the most pressing challenges for the Philippines, a nation highly vulnerable to natural disasters and environmental shifts. From super typhoons to prolonged droughts, these changes have devastating consequences for countless Filipinos, impacting their homes, livelihoods, and communities. Several factors contribute to these environmental changes. Unsustainable practices such as deforestation, pollution, and over-reliance on fossil fuels exacerbate climate change. Urbanization without proper planning has led to habitat destruction and increased carbon emissions. Additionally, global warming, driven by industrial activities worldwide, has intensified weather patterns, making natural disasters more frequent and severe.

2024 National Children's Month Celebration: A Call to Protect and Empower Our Youth

Image
The 2024 National Children's Month Celebration carries a compelling theme: “Break the Prevalence, End the Violence: Protecting Children, Creating a Safe Philippines.” This theme resonates with the urgent need to address the various forms of abuse, exploitation, and violence faced by children across the nation.
