I always try to live by a few simple values or operating principles. I believe that if we all lived by these values, the world would be a much better place. I have a few core values and operating principles that guide me in my life, and here are the following:

1.) First and foremost, I am a firm believer in treating others with RESPECT, even those who are not personally respectworthy. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their actions. This is a fundamental belief of mine and a cornerstone of how I interact with others on a daily basis.

2.) I also believe in being HONEST and TRUTHFUL. This means being honest with others and also with myself. I think being honest and truthful is important for several reasons. First, it’s the right thing to do. It’s important to be honest with people because it’s a basic respect for them as human beings. Secondly, honesty can help build trust. If we’re honest with each other, it’s easier to trust each other and that can make relationships stronger. Finally, I think being honest with ourselves is very important. We should stay true to who we are and not try to be someone we’re not. If we’re honest with ourselves, it can help us lead happier and more fulfilling lives.

3.) One of my core values is to always try to BE POSITIVE. I understand that life can be tough and that there are plenty of negative things in the world. However, I actively choose to focus on the positive and look for the good in every situation. This value is essential to me for a few reasons. First, it helps me maintain a healthy outlook on life. When I focus on the positive, it's easier for me to be grateful for what I have and identify opportunities for growth and improvement. Additionally, this value helps me be a more supportive and encouraging friend, family member, and coworker. When I'm positive, I can better motivate and inspire those around me. Finally, this value simply makes me happier. When I choose to focus on the good, I'm more likely to have a joyful outlook on life.

4.) I think it's essential to constantly be growing and learning and to never stop trying to BE THE BEST VERSION of ourselves. Whether it's learning new things or working on personal development, I think it's important to always strive to be better. I taught myself this lesson early on, and it's something that I always keep in mind.

5.) Finally, it is important to BE KIND to others, especially to myself. I think it’s important to always try to see things from other people’s perspectives and to treat them how you would want to be treated. We’re all human beings, and we all deserve to be treated with compassion and understanding. With kindness, we would be able to make the world a better place. If everyone is kind to each other, the world would be a much happier and safer place.

I have always been fascinated by the way things are built and how they work. Since I was a child, I would often take apart my toys to see how they were put together, and I would ask my parents questions about the construction of our house and other buildings we saw. This curiosity led me to choose a pre-engineering and architecture strand in senior high school, and my ultimate career goal is to become a civil engineer. I am looking forward to a long and successful career in this field. Moreover, I am excited to be a part of a profession that is so important to the world.

As a future civil engineer, I will be responsible for designing, constructing, and maintaining infrastructure projects such as bridges, roads, and dams. I will be working on projects that are crucial to the function of society. I am excited to use my skills and knowledge to make sure that these projects are safe and efficient. There are numerous reasons why I want to become a civil engineer. For one, it is a very stable career with good job prospects. I am also interested in the technical challenges that civil engineers face, such as designing buildings that can withstand earthquakes or constructing bridges that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

There are many people in my life who inspire me to achieve my goals. My parents, grandparents, teachers, and friends all motivate me to work hard and stay focused on what I want to achieve. Each of them has their own unique way of inspiration, but they all share one common goal: to see me succeed.

My PARENTS are my biggest inspiration when it comes to achieving my goals. They have always believed in me and have pushed me to be the best that I can be. They have always been there for me, even when I thought I couldn't make it. They continue to support me and believe in me, and that is a big part of why I am where I am today. They have sacrificed a lot to help me reach my goals, and I know that I would not be where I am today without their love and guidance.

My GRANDPARENTS are also a great source of inspiration. They have always been supportive of my dreams and have helped me to stay on track. They are always there to offer advice and encouragement, and I know that I can always count on them to be my biggest cheerleaders.

My TEACHERS have also been a great source of inspiration for me. They have challenged me to think outside the box and never give up on myself. They have taught me the importance of hard work and dedication, and that is something that I continue to carry with me.  They have challenged me to think critically and to push myself to new levels. They believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself, and their faith in my abilities has helped me to achieve more than I ever thought possible.

Finally, my FRIENDS have also been a great inspiration to me. They have always been there for me through thick and thin, whether I needed someone to talk to or just a shoulder to cry on. They have seen me at my best and at my worst, and they continue to be there for me no matter what.

This is a question that I have asked myself many times throughout my life. I have come to realize that there are many things that bring me joy. From the simple things in life to the more complex things, there are many things that bring me happiness. One of the things that bring me joy is spending time with my family and friends. I love being around people who make me laugh and who I can enjoy just being myself with. There is nothing better for me than spending time with the people I love. I cherish the time I have with them and am always grateful for their presence in my life.

Moreover, playing music is my favorite hobby. It has always been a part of my life, and it brings me pure happiness. I started playing piano when I was four years old. I then learned to play the guitar, flute, ukulele, and violin. I enjoy playing all of these instruments. Music brings me joy because it is a way for me to express myself. I also enjoy being in a band. I have been in a band for four years. My role is usually a pianist, but I can also be the rhythm guitarist. I love singing and performing with my bandmates. Performing on stage and making people happy with my playing brings me a tremendous amount of joy. I also love the creative process of composing and arranging music. It is very fulfilling to be able to create something beautiful that didn't exist before.

I am also a journalist. I love writing and sharing stories. I have been a journalist since I was in 4th grade. My main category is Sports Writing - English. I have won a lot of competitions and joined Division School Press Conference (DSPC) and Regional School Press Conference (RSPC) many times. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories. I also like researching and learning new information. Journalism brings me joy because it is a way for me to help others to be informed and stay connected to the current happenings in our surroundings with credibility. It is very gratifying to be able to share my work with others and to know that it might make a difference in their lives.

My family and hobbies are the two things that bring me the most joy in life. I am fortunate to have a great family who loves and supports me, and I enjoy spending time with them immensely. I am also blessed with a variety of great hobbies that I enjoy and that bring me a lot of happiness. Whether it's playing instruments, spending time outdoors, or simply spending time with friends, I am always joyful when I am doing things that I love.

What's my superpower - the thing I do better than anyone else?

# data[].attributes.body
I am a jack of all trades and a master of many. I have a natural aptitude for learning new skills quickly and easily. Whether it's playing a new instrument or dancing, I have a natural ability to excel. This is because I am able to draw on my previous experience and knowledge to help me in new endeavors. For example, when I started learning to play the violin, I was able to quickly pick up the basics because I had already developed a good sense of rhythm and coordination from playing the piano. This made it much easier for me to learn the new instrument.

In addition, my natural curiosity and ability to ask questions have helped me learn new things quickly. I am always asking questions and trying to understand how things work. This has helped me learn new skills and knowledge in a variety of areas. I believe that being multitalented is my superpower because it allows me to approach life with a sense of curiosity and enthusiasm. I am always looking for new challenges and ways to grow and develop. This has helped me to achieve a lot in life, both personally and professionally. Being multitalented is my greatest strength, and it's something that I will continue to cultivate throughout my life. Overall, I am a very adaptable and skilled person.

Which of the digital citizenship elements is most important or relevant to you as a Gen Z teen?

# data[].attributes.body
I am part of the Gen Z cohort, and the digital world is my world. From social media to online gaming, I have grown up with technology at my fingertips. As I have gotten older, I have become more aware of the importance of digital citizenship. It has already been an integral part of my life. I use it for everything from communication to entertainment to education. Because I spend so much time online, it is important to me to be a good digital citizen.

There are many important elements of digital citizenship, but online privacy is most relevant to me as a Gen Z teen. I am very conscientious about the personal information that I share online. I make sure to only share information that I am comfortable with the world knowing. I also have strict privacy settings on all of my social media accounts. I believe it is crucial to be aware of the digital footprint we are leaving behind and to be selective about what we share online.

There are many ways in which our online privacy can be violated. One way is through data breaches. This is when a company or organization we have given our personal information, such as our name, address, or date of birth, has that information stolen by hackers. This can happen even if the company has robust security measures in place. Another way our online privacy can be violated is through government surveillance. The government may collect our data without our knowledge or consent, which can be used to track our movements, conversations, and even our thoughts. These are just some of the ways in which our online privacy can be violated. It is a very real and present threat, and it is something that we should all be aware of. We need to be careful about the way we use the internet, and we need to be aware of the risks.

The digital world is an integral part of my life as a Gen Z teen. I believe that it is crucial to be a responsible digital citizen. Online privacy is important to me, and I make sure to be aware of the personal information that I am sharing online. It is also a very important issue, and we must be careful about how we use the internet. We should be aware of the risks and the ways in which our online privacy can be violated. We need to take steps to protect our privacy, and we need to be conscious of the way we use the internet.

As a student, what do you think are the usual instances and reasons for your need of information? What tasks have you done in the past that required searching information for you to complete them?

# data[].attributes.body
As a student, I often need to search for information in order to complete my assignments. There are a variety of tasks that require information searching, such as research papers, projects, and essays. In most cases, I need to find information in order to support my arguments or to understand a concept better. In other cases, I need to find information in order to complete a task, such as finding instructions for a lab experiment. Regardless of the task, there are a few reasons why I need to search for information.

One reason why I need to search for information is to support my arguments. In many cases, I need to find evidence or expert opinions in order to back up my claims. For example, when writing a research paper, I need to find scholarly articles that support my thesis. Another reason why I need to search for information is to understand a concept better. Sometimes, I need to find definitions or explanations of terms in order to fully understand what I am learning. For example, when I am studying for a test, I often need to look up the definitions of key concepts. Finally, another reason why I need to search for information is to complete a task. In many cases, I need to find instructions or directions in order to complete a task. For example, when I am doing a lab experiment, I need to find the protocol so that I know what to do.

Regardless of the reason, information searching is an important skills for students to learn. This is because in today's interconnected world, access to accurate and timely information is essential in order to make well-informed decisions. There are a number of reasons why information search is important for students to learn. Firstly, it allows them to identify and access the information they need in a timely and efficient manner. Secondly, it helps them to evaluate the quality of information and determine its relevance to their needs. Finally, it enables them to communicate their findings to others effectively.

Ultimately, the need for information is a common occurrence for students. This is often because they are working on assignments and need to find background information or reliable sources. The internet and the library are two of the most common places to search for information, as they usually have a wealth of resources. However, it is important to be careful about the sources that you use. This is because not everything on the internet is reliable.

There is growing concern over the spread of fake news on social media and the internet. While it is important to be critical of the sources we consume, there is also a risk of alienating others when we point out their mistakes. When we confront someone about a piece of fake news, it is important to do so in a respectful way. We should avoid coming across as judgmental or condescending. Instead, we should try to emphasize the importance of critical thinking and media literacy. If the person we corrected reacts defensively, we should not take it personally. It is possible that they are feeling embarrassed or exposed. We should remember that it is not our responsibility to change their beliefs but simply to provide accurate information. Fake news is a complex issue, and there is no easy way to deal with it. However, we can start by being respectful and understanding when we correct someone on their understanding of the facts.

# data[].attributes.body
I remember the first time I corrected someone on fake news. It was about Bongbong Marcos. I was scrolling through my Facebook feed when I saw a post from a friend sharing an article that claimed that Bongbong Marcos had won the vice presidency during the Philippine Elections 2016. I was shocked. I knew that the article was fake news. I had read about the election before, and I knew that Bongbong Marcos had lost. I quickly commented on my friend's post, correcting them and telling them that the article was fake news. My friend was surprised. They apologized and said that they didn't know. Since then, I've been more vigilant about sharing only accurate information on social media. I also make sure to correct people when they share fake news.

My relationship with my friend is good. We don't talk about politics much after I correct him, but we get along well otherwise. I think this is because we share some core values, despite having different political views. One value that we share is a commitment to honesty. Whether we are discussing politics or anything else, we are both committed to being honest with each other. This has led to some interesting conversations as we challenge each other to justify our positions. Another value that we share is a sense of humor. We both enjoy making each other laugh, and this has helped us to bond over time. Humor is an important part of our friendship, and it helps us to get through difficult conversations.

Experience on being Corrected by Someone

# data[].attributes.body
It's no secret that social media can be a breeding ground for negativity and conflict. All it takes is one person to make an inflammatory comment, and a whole community can be drawn into an argument. This can be especially true when someone in a position of authority or influence is involved.

I experienced this firsthand when I was corrected by someone on social media. It was someone whose opinion I respected and whose platform I followed. They made a comment about a topic I was passionate about, and I disagreed with their opinion. I didn't hesitate to voice my disagreement in the comments. What followed was a back-and-forth argument that lasted for several hours. It wasn't until after I had cooled down that I realized how this disagreement had affected my relationship with this person. Before, I had looked up to them and respected their opinion. But now, after this disagreement, I found myself questioning everything they said. I was no longer sure if I could trust their judgement. It took some time, but eventually I was able to rebuild my relationship with this person. We started by finding common ground and agreeing to disagree on the things we didn't see eye-to-eye on. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it.

Disagreements are a natural part of life, and they can actually be helpful in some ways. They give us an opportunity to learn more about the other person's perspective and to open our own minds to new ideas. Additionally, disagreements can help to strengthen our relationships, provided that we handle them in a constructive way. Of course, there are also times when disagreements can lead to arguments and hurt feelings. But if we can remember that we don't have to agree with someone on everything in order to respect them, we can often avoid these negative outcomes. The next time you find yourself disagreeing with someone on social media, take a step back and think about whether or not the disagreement is worth getting into. If it's not, just move on. And if it is, try to remember to approach the situation with respect and an open mind.

How will you use this knowledge (Advertising Literacy) to influence the world for good?

# data[].attributes.body
Most people are bombarded with advertisements every day, and many of them don’t even realize it. With the advent of social media, companies are now able to target ads directly to individuals based on their interests and demographics. This can be a powerful tool for good if used correctly. Social media has changed the landscape of advertising, and companies are now able to target ads directly to consumers. This can be a good thing, as it allows companies to show ads for products and services that consumers are actually interested in. However, it can also be a bad thing, as it can lead to consumers feeling bombarded with ads and feeling like they are being constantly marketed to.

As someone who is interested in advertising and marketing, I have studied advertising literacy extensively. I know how to identify the different techniques that are used to sell products and services. I also know how to critically analyze an advertisement, to understand what message it is trying to convey. With this knowledge, I can help to create more effective and ethical advertisements. I can also help to educate others about advertising so that they can be more aware of the techniques that are being used to sell them products. Informed consumers are more likely to make better decisions about what they buy, and they are also more likely to be loyal to brands that they trust.

There are many ways in which advertising can be used to influence the world for good. For example, we can use it to raise awareness of important issues such as climate change or to promote products that are more environmentally friendly. We can also use advertising to support businesses that are doing good in the world, such as fair trade businesses or businesses that are working to reduce their carbon footprint. Overall, I believe that advertising can be a force for good in the world. By understanding how it works, we can use it to raise awareness of important issues and to promote products and businesses that are making a positive difference.

Advertising Literacy can be used to improve the way that people interact with advertising. By understanding the techniques that are used to sell products, people can be more critical consumers. Additionally, Advertising Literacy can help to create more effective and ethical advertising campaigns. There are a number of different ways in which Advertising Literacy can be used to influence the world for good. One way is by teaching people about the techniques that are used to sell products. By understanding how advertising works, people can be more critical of the messages that they see. Additionally, they can learn to identify false or misleading claims. Another way to use Advertising Literacy for good is by creating more effective and ethical advertising campaigns. When advertising campaigns are designed with the consumer in mind, they are more likely to be successful. Additionally, ethical campaigns can help to build trust between businesses and consumers. Advertising Literacy help to improve the way that people interact with the world.

How will you apply what you've learned about intellectual property rights to ensure that you are respecting the rights of creators while still effectively communicating your own ideas?

# data[].attributes.body
As someone who is concerned with intellectual property rights, I am always mindful of ensuring that I am respecting the rights of creators while still effectively communicating my own ideas. By properly giving credit, I can help to ensure that the creators of the material are getting the recognition they deserve. When it comes to intellectual property rights, it is important to consider the following:

1. Who owns the intellectual property?
2. What are the restrictions on the use of intellectual property?
3. How can you use intellectual property in a way that respects the rights of the owner?

In this journal, I will discuss how I will apply what I have learned about intellectual property rights to ensure that I am not infringing on anyone's rights while still being able to convey my own thoughts and ideas.

One way that I ensure that I am respecting the rights of creators is by making sure that I am only using original content that I have created myself. I do not use any copyrighted material without express permission from the copyright holder. Additionally, I will make sure to cite any and all sources that I use in my work, whether it is directly quoted or paraphrased. This allows me to give credit where it is due while also making it clear that the ideas are not my own. I will always make sure that I am not plagiarizing the work of others. Plagiarism is the use of someone else's work without giving credit, and it is something that I take very seriously. Plagiarism is a serious issue in the world of intellectual property. When I am using someone else's ideas, I make sure to properly cite them in order to avoid plagiarism. If I am ever in doubt about whether or not I am plagiarizing, I will consult with a copyright expert to get clarification.

Another way I will apply what I have learned about intellectual property rights is by ensuring that I am not infringing on the rights of others. If I want to use someone else's work, I will make sure to get permission from the copyright holder before using it. I will also make sure to give credit to the copyright holder when using their work. Moreover, another way is to ensure that I am only using copyrighted material in accordance with the fair use doctrine. The fair use doctrine allows for the use of copyrighted material for certain purposes, such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. As long as I am using the copyrighted material for one of these purposes and not for commercial gain, I should be within my rights to use it.

I will always respect the intellectual property rights of others, even if they are not enforced. Just because someone has not officially copyrighted their work does not mean that I can use it without permission. I will still always ask for permission first before using someone else's work. Respecting the intellectual property rights of others is important to me, and I will continue to seek out ways to ensure that I am doing so. I will continue to learn about intellectual property rights so that I can effectively communicate my own ideas while respecting the rights of others.

In today's digital age, social media has become a primary source of information for many people. However, with the proliferation of fake news and misinformation, it can be challenging to distinguish between what is true and what is false. Playing "Go Viral" was a fascinating experience for me, as it highlighted some of the most common strategies used by people to spread false and misleading information about the virus. In the game, I played the role of an influencer whose objective was to spread fake news about the virus to as many people as possible within a five-minute time limit. The game presented me with a series of scenarios where I had to make choices on what to post and how to phrase it in order to generate the most engagement and clicks. I learned about the different techniques used to spread misinformation, such as using fear, sensationalism, and conspiracy theories to generate engagement and go viral. One of the most striking things I learned from the game was how easy it was to spread false information and how quickly it could spread, even with only a small number of shares.

As I progressed through the game, I learned about the different tactics used by those who spread misinformation, such as using fear or conspiracy theories to generate clicks and engagement. Another example of this is also using sensationalism and fear-mongering theories. It was alarming to see how difficult it was to retract once it the false information spread. Also, I found myself becoming more aware of the potential consequences of spreading fake news about the virus. The game highlighted the importance of critical thinking and media literacy in today's digital world, and how essential it is to verify the information before sharing it with others.

Playing "Go Viral" also made me reflect on my own online behavior and the responsibility I have as a social media user. It made me more conscious of the power that comes with being an influencer or having a large following, and how important it is to use that power responsibly. As someone who regularly uses social media, I understand the impact that my posts and shares can have on others. I also realized the importance of being vigilant about the information I consume and share, and the need to verify sources before accepting them as true.

Overall, "Go Viral" was a valuable learning experience that taught me the dangers of spreading false information about the virus. It taught me the importance of being critical of the information I consume and share, and the need to verify sources before accepting them as true. By playing the game, I gained a better understanding of the tactics used by those who spread misinformation. With this, I feel better equipped to spot and resist fake news in the future.
