INTRODUCTION. The struggle to bring greater international scrutiny to the human rights plight of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people reached a landmark moment in 2016 with the decision of the United Nations Human Rights Council to create a dedicated special procedures mandate an Independent Expert on protection from violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The Independent Expert has many tasks, including investigating and reporting on human rights violations against LGBT people, assessing compliance with applicable international human rights instruments in this context, and making recommendations to States and other stakeholders as appropriate. The mandate builds on the work of existing United Nations human rights mechanisms, including special procedures and treaty bodies, the majority of which have addressed these issues to some extent in the context of their own, respective mandates. The establishment of this mandate follows s...

“VACCINES” COVID 19 WAS THE MOST harsh virus we’ve encounter here in the Philippines but then they invented a vaccine to cure the virus or to protect us from the virus. After the adult was done with their vaccination they create a vaccination for kids/children’s and they’re already done with their first dose. Vaccine was very helpful for everyone because this protect us from virus, but some of us doesn’t want to be vaccinated, and we don’t know their reason to not get vaccinated. Vaccination should be majority for our safety and we should always follow the protocols to lessen the people who’s positive in covid virus. A lot of us having a hard a time during the pandemic because many of us doesn’t have a work to earn some money to buy food for their family. Many pilipino’s are given a chance to have a job but some of them are wasting the chance to have a good life and buy everything they want as soon as they got a job, ...

growing up in a town where Holy Week turns people into passionate pilgrims and devotees, it has become usual for me to see local scenes exclusive for the Holy Week. Our town (well, politically Vigan is a city but I love calling Vigan as my 'town') transforms into a religious dream wonderland for different types of people. This is not limited to the passionate Roman Catholics who do the visita iglesia, stations of the cross and those who persistently wait for the start of the pursisyon (this is our local term for procession) who'll eventually recite prayers while they hold candles and rosaries as they walk with the carrozas that carry sculptures portraying the Roman Catholic's version of the gospel. I think it would be safe to say that Vigan is a major tourist destination now. But I would say tourists do not contribute a significant percentage to the Good Friday crowd because most of the people are locals. Even before Vigan became a major tourist destination, this has ...

KANNAWIDAN YLOCOS FESTIVAL My insight on the celebration to the Ilocano people. Kannawidan ylocos festival, kannawidann festival was fun before the pandemic started but until now it’s still fun but it’s not the same as the usual before. The way they celebrate the Kannawidan festival, they’re inviting some famous vloggers and some celebrities to make a show at bantay stadium. A lot of people having fun during the concerts and other activities that they’re watching at night. And the way that they celebrate the lunar year in vigan city was.. every year they’re making a fireworks show at night and a lot of children’s enjoying the show and after they watch the fireworks they also watched the dancing fountain at plaza. Not just those activities are happening during the kannawidan festival there are also a motor show and car show they held this show at the back of the DWCV school and a lot of people enjoying this activity. But we still need to follow the protocols to protect ourselves especi...

Here in Vigan City we have the most famous tourist spot that we call the Heritage Village or what we call Calle Crisologo. This tourist spot has a very deep history and a lot of people want to visit this place because it has a beautiful view and history, Calle Crisologo is worth visiting both day and night. Each timezone has it's own charm and features. At day you will be enjoying the numerous antique souvenir shops around, as well as little museums like the Father Burgos Museum and the Crisologo Museum. These establishments are all settled within the Spanish heritage houses that give the car-free street it's charm. Also during day, make sure you will be enjoying riding a Spanish-style horse carriage called 'kalesa'. This way you can get a nice little tour around some very culturally rich heritage sceneries; the old very prosperous Spanish colonial area in Vigan. The well preserved houses at Calle Crisologo (or Mena Crisologo) are mostly ancestral homes of well-kno...

My reflection on all the learning I’ve gained during the second quarter, I have learned about notepads and HTML’s. our lesson this 2nd quarter was a bit harder than the 1st quarter because there a lot of task to do and sometimes doing the exercises in notepad is hard. The problem I’ve been encounter was having a lot of task to do and it’s hard for me because ICT is not just our subject to focus to, we have a lot of subject to answer and we can’t make those task at the same time. So that was the hardest part for me a having a lot of task to do in one subject only. The way I did to address all the challenges is to make a schedule to make my modules to make it easy. Moving on, I will still do all of those tasks but It’s really hard sometimes because we only have a few time to do our tasks.
