The year 2024 is the 27th year of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act and National Indigenous Peoples Month in the Philippines. The theme of the observance is, "Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalana" (Valuing, Nurturing, and Honoring Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Knowledge), which focuses on protecting and promoting the rights, culture, and contributions of indigenous peoples. It serves as a reminder of the need to foster inclusivity and respect for diversity in a society enriched by centuries-old traditions and wisdom.

The Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (Republic Act No. 8371) in 1997 provides recognition and protection for indigenous cultural communities and indigenous peoples (ICCs/IPs) of the Philippines, guaranteeing them their rights to ancestral domains, cultural integrity, self-governance, among others. This year's theme therefore signifies that there is still room for advocacy to protect these rights through modern challenges such as encroachment of land, climate change, and erosion of culture. In this process of marking IPRA's 27th year of commemoration, the nation, on its part, recognizes the importance of holding close its rich heritage and treasures of wisdom by the various indigenous groups, ensuring their protection from being lost over time.

The indigenous month is filled with activities that celebrate the rise of indigenous communities. Cultural fairs, forums, and storytelling events highlighted indigenous knowledge systems and practices, much of which are grounded in sustainability and environmental stewardship. Through these campaigns, awareness and appreciation of the unique identity are fostered and spread among Filipinos to realize the significant role that indigenous communities have played in the nation's history and development. In addition, such campaigns call for collaborative efforts by the government, private sector, and civil society in helping to solve the persistent challenges of indigenous peoples.

This observance serves as a platform for reflection and action. It invites everyone to actively contribute to the protection and celebration of indigenous culture and rights. Valuing, nurturing, and honoring indigenous peoples and their knowledge affirms the nation's respect for diversity, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable society where all communities, regardless of their cultural backgrounds, thrive together.

Q2 Reflection

Image Source Basic knowledge of HTML has always been an enlightening moment as it provided a simple basis of how websites work and are created. As far as I know, I learned that HTML means HyperText Markup Language or is the backbone of every page. It defines its contents and layout. I have learned how important syntax and structure are in coding by using tags and elements like <html> ,  <head> , <body> , and <p> . Through hands-on practice, I was able to create simple web pages with text, images, and links, showing how each line of code contributed to the final visual output. This understanding of HTML has given me the confidence to explore web development further. I also realized the usage of attributes in personalizing an element and, therefore improving its functionality. Attributes, such as src , href , and alt , opened my eyes to how HTML combines the simple with versatility to generate an interactive, user-friendly web page. It was surprising how form...
