From Code to Creation: My Experience with HTML

                     As I look back on the past quarter, it's fascinating to see how a series of code snippets and tags have transformed into a robust understanding of web development. The journey through learning HTML has been a blend of discovery, challenge, and growth.           Throughout the second quarter, delving into HTML and its intricacies has been both enlightening and empowering.

                      The observance of the 18-day Campaign to End Violence Against Women, held annually, highlights the crucial importance of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children (VAWC) Act of 2004 (RA 9262).

            The celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Month from October 1-30, 2024, in conjunction with the 27th year of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA) commemoration, brings to the forefront the theme "Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalan." This observance not only honors the rich culture and wisdom of the indigenous peoples but also underscores the importance of valuing, nurturing, and protecting their rights and heritage.         The IPRA, passed in 1997, was a landmark legislation in the Philippines, affirming the rights of Indigenous Peoples (IPs) to their ancestral domains and the preservation of their cultural identity. This year's theme emphasizes the need to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of indigenous knowledge and practices to our society. Celebrating Indigenous Peoples Month fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation of their unique cultures, traditions, and w...
