My experience in the course COA8 this semester

My experience in the course COA 8 this semester is that this course COA 8 or this subject really helped me to know myself better, and  I also experience difficulties about operating the HTML, thee kinds of html and also the CSS.  I experienced how to  communicate with instructors and other students, that are taking these courses, and this was made me be a more active participant during the courses.  Every week was a chance to work through my own creative process . The professor would then steer me in the right direction. We were given creative freedom and could work at our own pace. We would spend most our time developing one project and did not show our work to the class.

The list of learning experiences that I had:

• I have learned how to do Html codes.

• I have learned on different Html.

• I have learned how to code CSS.

• I learn best from reading, searching the www.w3schools.com.

• I have also learned to be more creative in designing my web page.

• I've leaned that to be a successful distance learner, you have to be self-disciplined and able to work well on your own.

The things that I haven't learned:

• I haven't really learned about how to code the other styles of CSS, beacause I used the easiest way.

What I wish to learn:

• I want to learn more about , how to become my web page more creative and attractive.

• I wish to learn how to make graphics, to put a video on my web page.

• I wish to learn more about what is webpage maker is and the webpage hosting.

In closing, I am so very happy and very thankful to My teacher Ms. May Amor Pitogo for being my instructor of this course for his patience, kind, and share her knowledge to us. I really, really enjoy the course I enrolled at this semester and all my experiences of this course or in this class. It has been a good pleasure to me to learn about what really COA8 is "Internet Web Page Design". Thank you Lord for giving me more knowledge and wisdom. :) :) THANK YOU MA'AM, we really appreciate you :D

Palace on passage of BBL: Now or never

By Dellon Porcalla

Malacanang believes the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) will not be approved in the next administration.

          Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda made this clear yesterday as he rejected calls for the crafting of an alternative to the BBL that can be left for the next administration to tackle.
          " We dont see ourseleves looking at the BBL being passed by the next administration. Its either BBl or no BBL." Lacierda declared.
          President Aquino wants Congress to pass the controversial measure before his July 27 state of the NAtion Address, the last of his term.
         The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which is negotiating peace with the government, also wants the BBL approved as soon as possible- and without changes.
          "Its not a binary position. Its either BBL or no BBl. You have the BBl in Congress. Congressmen, senators may have a different view. Lets look, lets discuss, lets deliberate, Lacierda said.
          He said the president has been clear in his position amid setbacks caused by the Mamasapano incident.
          "So we asked Congress; look into the law itself. Find ways to make sur ethat what we have crafted would be bigger than the Mamasapano and we certainly grieve for the loss of 44 commandos," Lacierda stressed.
          "But we have to look into the fruit..... We did not labor in vain here. The peaceprocess, the peace panel did not labor in vain; the SAF commandos did not die in vain as well. Lets give honor by making sure that peace will continue in Mindanao," he added.
     " It seems like finding peace is an uphill climb once again. We should not deter ourselves from pointing out that a just and lasting peace is what we all want - whether its a Bangsamoro, its he government of the Philippines, its the entire Filipino, " the spokesman explained.

          “The executive branch under the leadership of Aquino, Lacierda said, “will be there to discuss and give their points and to shed light on the perspective of the Bangsamoro Basic Law.”

                We are there to present to Congress, senators or congressmen, the perspective of how this BBl was crafted. If they have issues on wealth sharing, if they have issues on power sharing, let’s not  just go on the general statements,” he said.

                “Let’s focus on the details. We can provide you the details. The executive branch is prepared to present to you all the details of the provision of the law, whether on the constitutional issue or whether on the certain provisions. Were prepared to do that,” he pointed out.

Mar pitches for BBL

Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II met Liberal party congressmen over lunch yesterday to make his own pitch for the BBL.

                Marikina City Rep. Romeo Quimbo, who was present at the meeting, quoted Roxas as saying that non-passage of the BBL is “not acceptable.” Roxas is LP president-on-leave.

                “(Roxas) said 150,000 lives have been lost in Mindanao, and we could go back to that situation if we don’t have the BBL,” Quimbo said.

                He said Roxas also justified the proposed P75-billion annual block grant for the Bangsamoro, saying the amount would be needed to jumpstart the region’s economy.

                The size of the allocation has raised concern that the MILF would corner the amount and use it to enrich its officials or buy arms to revive its secessionist agenda.

Born October 5, 1988 - Maja Salvador is one of the latest in line of the illustrious show biz clan of the Salvador family. She is now making her own identity and mark as the Dance Princess of the Philippines and one of the most promising young actresses in the industry.

There’s something about a teenaged girl aching for her long-lost dad that moves one’s heart. When ABS-CBN’s Charo Santos-Concio saw Maja Salvador pleading on nationwide TV for a glimpse of her dad Ross Rival, something in the girl’s angelic face tugged at the network executive’s heartstrings. Concio asked her staff to look for Maja.

Thus did Maja Salvador sign up with the Lopez network and was introduced as John Prats’ partner in "It Might Be You" on February.

Before that though, Lady Luck was working overtime for the 17-year-old girl from Aparri. Maja met Farrah Ramos, movie columnist-talent manager Chit Ramos’s daughter in a modeling workshop and they became fast friends. Little did Maja know their friendship will lead her, not only to a reunion with her dad, but to a promising career in showbiz, a field her father’s side of the family has been identified with for decades.

Maja confided to Chit that she had long wanted to see her dad, whom she last saw when she was only seven. Maja did not know Chit wrote about showbiz and never suspected her wishful thinking will come true.

To Maja’s surprise, Chit replied, “You want to see your dad? Let’s call Phillip (Salvador, Maja’s uncle).”  Before Maja can say a word, Chit dialed Philip’s number on the cell phone and uncle and niece were talking.

The long-delayed father-daughter reunion – chronicled and aired on The Buzz – took place in the house of Ramon Salvador, Phillip’s older brother. As fate would have it, Concio was watching at that time, and that touching scene stuck in her mind. The rest, as they say, is history.

“I feel no bitterness toward my father, even if he and my mom separated when I was a baby. My mom said I won’t be here if it weren’t for him,” says Maja.

Besides, she has moved on herself. Maja is grateful to her Japanese stepdad for taking good care of her. It was her stepdad who, upon learning she was entering showbiz, came home from Japan, where he markets Toyotas, to buy Maja a van to take her around.

Maja is having the time of her life, never mind if she has to wake up early to make it to her classes in a school close to their home in Cainta at 7 a.m. Never mind, too, if unlike before, when she can go to malls in casual shorts, “I must look presentable because fans see me.”

She need not worry about her get-ups though. Navy/White Tops got her as image model. The brand’s pastel colors complement Maja’s young, carefree image, and its casual look, she adds, jibes with her love for things simple yet comfortable.

Her style has even caught the eye of Aga Muhlach and Janice de Belen’s son Igi Boy, who sent Maja flowers during a presscon.

“Maybe it’s his way of telling me I should feel at ease at that time.” Maja brushes away romantic ideas.

                                   

Salvador started her acting career as a supporting character in the 2003 TV series It Might Be You which was then top-billed by John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo. She was later on cast as one of the lead characters in Spirits the following year and has appeared in several episodes of Maalaala Mo Kaya.

In 2006, Salvador made her film debut as one of the supporting characters in the horror movie Sukob wherein she portrayed the role of a clairvoyant young girl. This earned her several accolades including the Star Award for Movies for New Movie Actress of the Year and the Golden Screen Award for Breakthrough Performance by an Actress, as well as a nomination at the FAMAS Awards for Best Supporting Actress. That same year, she also starred as a social climber teenage girl in the film First Day High and was also critically acclaimed for her portrayal as a teenager suffering from cerebral palsy in the "Regalo" episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya. For the latter, Salvador earned a nomination for Best Single Performance by an Actress at the Star Awards for Television but lost to co-star Vilma Santos, who played as her mother in the said episode.

Salvador reunited with John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo in the 2007 box-office movie One More Chance. Her portrayal in the film was highly regarded by movie buffs, describing her "perfect" and "luminous". The role gained her a Star Award for Movies nomination for Movie Supporting Actress of the Year. During this year, she was also cast as one of the three leads in the TV series Pangarap na Bituin along with Sarah Geronimo and Rica Peralejo.

In 2009, she top-billed the afternoon drama series Nagsimula sa Puso, a remake of the 1990 film of the same title, in addition to appearing as one of the principal characters in the primetime drama May Bukas Pa. Salvador also starred in films such as Villa Estrella and Share Rattle and Roll XI which was an entry to the 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival. She later on starred in the television series Impostor in 2010 and in the horror film Cinco.

Salvador, in 2011, was cast as one of the main characters in the critically acclaimed family-military drama series Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin. That same year, she also co-produced the independent film Thelma, with which she also starred in the title role. Her performance in the film was praised by Philippine Entertainment Portal's Bong Godinez, stating in his review that Salvador gives an "impressive performance" and that she "brandished her depth as an actress without going overboard". He also added that she "[dishes] out the emotions in an understated manner". However, Tessa Guazon of the Young Critics Circle - Film Desk criticized her performance by saying that there are failures in "conflict and depth".  Furthermore, she mentioned that Salvador was out of track in the movie and that she "missed [the] subtle leap". Despite mixed reviews on the film, Salvador went on and bagged the Gawad Urian Award for Best Actress as well as the Film Academy of the Philippines Award for Best Actress.

In 2012, Salvador starred in the afternoon drama series Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin and subsequently in the primetime soap Ina, Kapatid, Anak alongside Kim Chiu in the title role. She also starred in films My Cactus Heart and 24/7 in Love.

Misamis OccidentalTourist Spot

                

        Misamis Occidental (Filipino:Kanlurang Misamis)(Subanen:Sindepan Mis’samis) is a province of the Philippines located in the Northern Mindanao region. Its capital is Oroquieta City. The province borders Zamboanga del Norte and Zamboanga del Sur to the west and is separated from Lanao del Norte by Panguil Bay to the south and from Misamis Oriental by Iligan Bay to the east. The province of Misamis was originally inhabited by Subanons who’s an easy target by the sea pirates from Lanao. Misamis is taken from the early settlement of the Spaniards at the entrance to the Panguil Bay. The name “Misamis” is believed to have been derived from the Subano word “Kuyamis” which is a variety of sweeto coconut – the staple food of the early settlers in this place. During the years the name persisted as an inference of the geographical location and upon the advent of the Spanish settlers, the word “kuyamis” easily gave way to the more convenient pronounceable but corrupted word “Misamis”. Misamis Occidental comprised the original nine towns of Baliangao, Lopez Jaena, Tudela, Clarin, Plaridel, Oroquieta, Aloran, Jimenez, and Misamis. The original nine municipalities of the province of Misamis Occidental grew into the present three cities of Ozamiz, Oroquieta, and Tangub and the 14 municipalities of Aloran, Baliangao, Bonifacio, Calamba, Clarin, Concepcion, Don Victoriano, Jimenez, Lopez Jaena, Panaon, Plaridel, Sapang Dalaga, Sinacaban, and Tudela. History In 1942, the Japanese Imperial forces landed in Misamis Occidental, beginning their brief occupation of the province as part of World War II. In 1945, combined American and Philippine Commonwealth forces liberated the province, and with the help of the recognized guerilla units, defeated the Japanese forces. GeographyMap-of-MisOcc-Administrative-Boundary Misamis Occidental is located near the narrow strip of land linking Northwestern Mindanao, to the Northcentral part of the island. Shaped like a collapsible fan it is bounded on the northeast by the Mindanao Sea, east by the Iligan Bay, southeast by the Panguil Bay, and the west by the Zamboanga del Norte and Sur. The fact that three of its boundaries are bodies of water gives away water life as one of its natural resources and fishing as one of its main industries. Except along the coastal area, hilly and rolling land characterized the provincial terrain. Towards the western border, the terrain is particularly rugged. Political Subdivisions The province has a total land area of 2,024.18 square kilometers representing 65 percent of the total land area of the Philippines. Tudela has the biggest land area equivalent to 13.8 percent of the total province area. The municipality of Panaon shares the smallest area of only 46.80 square kilometers. Population Misamis Occidental has a total population of 488,665 (1999 projection) with the bulk from the cities of Ozamiz at 108,541, Oroquieta at 59,637, and Tangub with a total population of 49, 981. The Municipality of Concepcion comprises the lowest population among the 15 municipalities of the province at 5,342 occupying a land area of 61.60 sq.km. Language/Dialect Subanon, pronounced “Subanen,” is the dialect of the province, used mostly by the members of the Subanon Tribe. However, most residents are Cebuano-speaking and can speak tagalog and English as well. Climate The climate belongs to the Fourth type where rainfall is more or less fairly distributed throughout the year. The average rainfall in the past twenty years was recorded at 182.5 millimeters. The rainiest months are November and December; the driest are February, March, and April. The entire province is outside the typhoon belt but it is sometimes affected by freak storms.
