John Roy - Abenaza - BlogMy web site is so fresh. The paint is still wet, but stay tuned, because I have lots of personal things, specifically about what is happening day-to-day, that I will keep updating daily.

Philippines is located in South East Asia in the Western Pacific. And also a archipelagic nation. And because of that Philippines is surrounded by bodies of water. Philippines’ marine ecosystem is very rich. From fishes, corals, and other marine species. Philippines have more than 2000 fishes. Philippines national fish is Bangus (Milkfish). One of the main attraction for the tourists is to see the biggest fish in the world, the Whale Shark or in the Philippines, the Butanding. Whale Shark inhabit warm-oceans and seas worldwide. Every summer many tourist go to Philippines to go to some islands where they can do some water activities like snorkeling, diving. In that way they could see how beautiful our under-water world. Maybe one of the most famous is the Boracay Island.

Boracay is located is located in Aklan, South of Manila. Boracay is known for its white sand beaches. It offers swimming and snorkeling to scuba diving, windsurfing, sailboating, kayaking, boardsailing, and boating.                                                                                                     

Pagudpud Island is located Northern part of the Philippines. Mighty waves and strong winds that can compare to Hawaii. Wind and Wave surfing are the most popular activities on the island.

Panglao Island is located in the province of Bohol. Panglao is famous for its world class diving locations and is home to numerous tourist resorts.                               

Camiguin Island is located at the Northern coast of Mindanao. Camiguin is a pear-shaped volcanic island with a total land area of 238 sq. kilometers. Camiguin is said to be “Born of Fire”. One of the attraction in the island is the Sunken Cemetery. The whole capital of Camiguin sunk under the sea because of the eruption of Mount Vulcan. The site became the grave of the ancestors of the Camiguin people. Now it is one of the world’s most unique diving sites.                                 

El Nido is located at the province of Palawan. One thing I can say is this place is very beautiful. It has many beautiful islands. And it does have many surprises. Like secret beaches, secret lagoons and also caves. You can also see some stone cliffs that make the place very unique. El Nido is the source of one of the most delectable soups specially found in Chinese restaurants – the Nido Soup.    

Siargao Island is located located at the province of Surigao del Norte. It is renowned for its curling waves that soar from nine to twelve feet high.                                  

And many more. Now one of the Philippines’ pride is in the search for the New Seven Wonders of Nature, the Tubbataha Reef. Tubbatah reef is home of some of the beautiful corals in the world. Tubbataha is the Philippines’ only National Marine Park and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a place of global importance, being preserved for generations to come.           

During my freshmen or 1st year high school I really realize what does it really feels to be a high school student. At our first day, I saw some of the old faces, like my classmates. And I also saw other new faces, like some of my classmates, and some of our teachers. On our 1st or 2nd quarter our adviser is Ms Clare. She has a strong personality. And at your first glance at her you might say that she is strict. I admit she is strict , but if you really know her true personality she is not very strict at all. Our teacher in mathematics is Mrs. Siete. She is very good in teaching Algebra, through her I knew some of the basics in Algebra. Our teacher in Filipino is Ms. Clamor. She is very joyful teacher. She teach us Filipino and Ibong Adarna. She brought our ordinary Filipino words in a deeper way. Our teacher in TLE is Sir. Ryan. He is a strict teacher. When it comes to being serious, you might think he is always serious. But if you knew him, he has a funnier side. Which makes him cool. Our teacher in MAPEH during our 1st and 2nd quarter is Ms Clare(who was our adviser that time). She teaches good because when she starts to discuss in front of my other classmate all of us will surely listen. But she stops teaching because of some kind of an illness that could affect her teaching career including teaching lessons about P.E. Then our teacher in the rest of the end of the school year in MAPEH and the one who stands as our adviser is Ms Ruth . She is also a cheerful person, that when it comes to jokes she will laugh. But in times of being serious she is always serious. Our teacher in Science is Ms. Gupit. She has the humor to make her students laugh. She is my favorite teacher in high school. Her schedule to us is (Science > Break >Science). Of all the teachers she is the one who has the longer period to stay in our room. Our teacher in Social Studies from 1st up to 3rd quarter is Mrs. Rosario. She is another of my teacher who is a strict one. But she stop teaching us. And leave until the end of our school year. But Mrs.Gupit was the one in charge to teach us about Social Studies. Our teacher in English is Mrs. Mary Ann. She gave high score to all of us even though some of my classmates don’t listen to her sometimes. Our teacher in Computer is my Mrs.Elizabeth, she actually treat us like her child. She teach us Microsoft Powerpoint. A very useful application on our computer. And not but the least is our teacher in Values Education, Mrs Bernadette. Among the teacher of mine she is the one whom I treated as my bestfriend. We have fun telling some stories. And I forgot to tell you, in the middle of 3rd Quarter period she represent to be our adviser before Ms Ruth. And before Mrs. Gupit became our social teacher, Mrs. Bernadette stands to be our teacher in Social Studies after Mrs. Rosario leave. In our school we’ve got lots of activities One of the most unforgettable activity in my freshmen days is our first Drama Festival in our high school life.
