President Elpidio Quirino’s Life

 Elpidio Quirino is a politician from the Philippines and served as the sixth president of the country. He was born in 1890 and passed away in 1956.

Reflection(Quarter 2)

  This quarter in ICT 10, I have been working on HTML tags and websites designing. It was interesting to see how different tags like  <h1>  for headers,  <p>  for paragraphs, and  <img>  for pictures are used for the layout of the web page. Creating web pages also helped me appreciate how information has to be arranged and syntax used. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of tags and their attributes that were required to be learned, but with time and practice, I was able to improve. This particular experience has provided me with an amazing experience in web development and made me excited towards building more complex and attractive pages in the future.

Internationally and in the Philippines, several programs and legal mandates have been established to address VAW and assist the victims. One of these is the 18-day Campaign to End Violence Against Women which is held every year and aims to sensitize and advocate against VAW.
