"DEEP THOUGHT"

          I had learned how to make Microsoft Front Page and it is my first time to encounter it. It's not that hard to do, once you master the basics, I simply just follow the instructions. When it comes to our thematic assessment, that is speech choir, I had learned many things from of it. It challenged me to give my best that I have never done before. Because of it, I had to focus in order to perform well. It thought me how to discipline myself, especially when we were having our practice. There is also a time for being serious to do things right.           Some problems that bothered me was that, most of our teachers were too busy during the third quarter.

The Gender and Development actively promotes the advancement of women by combating the feminization of poverty through a series of GAD activities. This year, the newly-formed GAD committee has scheduled capacity-development building among NAPC staff and the basic sectors. Key activities include Gender-Sensitivity Training (GST) and Gender-Responsive Planning (GRP). This is to create gender awareness, identify gender issues, and establish a unified action plan in order to address them.           Violence against women appears as one of the country’s pervasive social problems. It is indeed alarming that despite efforts to address the concern, VAW persists. Societal norms and traditions dictate people to think men are the leaders, pursuers, providers, and take on dominant roles in society while women are nurturers. An even greater problem is the lack of concrete information to show the extent of VAW in the country as man
