Draft 4

 Born on November 16, 1890, in the bustling town of Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Elpidio came from a wealthy family that provided him with the opportunity to pursue education. From an early age, he understood the importance of learning, which led him to attend the University of the Philippines, where he graduated with a law degree. He began his career as a lawyer and later became a district attorney. During this time, he listened to the stories of those around him, and these encounters inspired him to enter politics and use his education to help his fellow citizens.

In 1919, Elpidio first felt the weight of responsibility as a public servant when he was elected to the Philippine House of Representatives. He quickly rose through the ranks, becoming Secretary of Finance and then Secretary of the Interior. In these roles, he implemented policies aimed at stabilizing the nation, especially during the chaos of World War II. The challenges he faced only strengthened his resolve to rebuild the Philippines after the war, and the testimonies of the people motivated him to keep fighting.

After the passing of President Manuel Roxas in 1948, Elpidio was elected as the sixth president of the Philippines. Throughout his term, he prioritized public health, education, and economic development. He firmly believed that agrarian reform and the establishment of the National Economic Council were crucial for the nation’s progress. Despite facing obstacles and criticism, he remained dedicated to serving the people. When he left office in 1953, he carried with him the memories of those he served and a deep optimism for a brighter future for the Philippines.

Thematic 2nd Q

 Violence against women and children is a serious problem that affects many people, including in the Philippines. Often, traditional beliefs about gender roles make women and children more vulnerable to abuse, which can cause both physical and emotional pain. This kind of violence can leave lasting scars and make it hard for victims to feel safe and happy.

By sharing stories and raising awareness, we can work together to create a safer and more caring world for everyone. Republic Act No. 9262, or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004, is a really important law in the Philippines.

As you can see at this first picture, with the help of my shovel, I can easily dig a  hole for me to plant a guava tree in our backyard.
