It’s more fun in school with HSM

Happy schools movement seeks to promote every school in the region as a better and enjoyable place to study.

Dr. Malcolm Garma, DepEd Region 1 regional director, said the regional launch of the HSM was held at the Vigan Convention Center in this city on May 20, 2019.

It was  anchored on the theme: “Paaralang Masayang Maglingkod, Tagumpay ng Bata’y Itaguyod.”

Through this program, the learners’ full potential is given the greatest attention by creating a happier and more positive school culture. The movement aims to inculcate in the minds of pupils that school is not just a place for learning but also a place for fun and enjoyment as they enjoy what they are doing.

It aims to create an environment where students can freely express themselves and promote learning in an easy yet effective way of learning. Also, a happy school is composed of happy teachers build in a happy environment and form happy students.

Learners deserve to be loved and taken with utmost care. Activities and movements had been in the center stage to make our schools a child-friendly haven.

Happy School Movement is indeed a very promising transformative advocacy to our schools. Keeping in mind that our school children now will soon rule the future, thus let us make sure that our learners learn not just on survival mode or break-even scheme.

WIKANG FILIPINO; YAMAN NG BANSA NATIN

Inanyayahan ang buong bansa sa ipagparangalan ang wikang Filipino at mga katutubong wika sa Pilipinas sas pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika sa taong 2019 sa buwan ng Agosto na may temang "Wikang Katutubo: Tungo sa isang bansang Filipino." Hangad ng tema ng taong ito na maikintal sa pambansang kamalayan ang halaga at gampanin na Wikang Filipino at mga katutubong wika sa pagbuo ng isang bansang nagkakaunawaan.

Layunin ng pamahalaan na magtaguyod ng mga proyekto at programang naktuon sa pagpapaunland, preserbasyon, at pagpapalaganap ng wikang Filipino at mga katutubong wika sa ating bansa. Sa wika matatagpuan ang mga kayamanang pangkultura tulad ng aydentidad, gunita, tradisyon at panitikang nakasulat. Maituturing na yaman ng ating bansa ang pagkakaroon ng 130 katutubong wika.

Ang mga katutubong wika ay nanganganib maglaho sa hinaharap kung hindi magkakaroon ng kongkretong pagpaplano at aksiyon sa pagsagip o pagreserba rito. 

Tradisyon na sa lahat ng paaralan, pampubliko man o pribado ang pagkakaroon ng patimpalak o iba't ibangmga patimpalak.

Bilang isang mamamayang Pilipino ay dapat nating tangkilikin ang mga katutubong panitikan at kaalamang panitikan at kaalamang bayan sa pamamagitan ng pagbasa at paglaya nito.

Ang wikang Filipino at katutubong wika ay dapat nating gamitin, paunlarin at palaganapin para na rin sa susunod pang henerasyon. Ang mga wikang ito ang sumisimblo sa pagka-Pilipino natin. Ang Buean ng Wika ang nagsisilbing tulay o paalala para imulat tayong muli na dapat nating pagyabungin ang mga Wikang Filipino at ang mga wikang katutubo.
