Food is the material that contains or consists of essential body nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals, and is ingested and assimilated by an organism to produce energy, stimulate growth, and maintain life. Food is very important to us because we need it to sustain life and if we don’t consume food we will starve and die. 


We all love to eat food with the different aromas and mouth watering tastes and treats. Some of us even have our favorite food and this is a list of mine:




1. Pizza- I LOVE PIZZA-especially with the ones with many toppings like pepperoni, ham, meat, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives and others. With all these ingredients, pizza is so delicious!


I first ate pizza when I was a kid and I liked eating it. I always wanted to try different flavors and recipes like Hawaiian or Pepperoni and they taste amazing!






2. Chop Suey- Chop Suey is a meat or fish stir-fried with vegetables (e.g., celery, onions, peppers or bean sprouts) seasoned with ginger and garlic and soy sauce; served with rice. I like eating chop suey because it is very healthy since it contains many vegetables, meat, and sometimes quail eggs. This mix of vegetables and meat gives the food amazing blending of tastes.




3. Rice- Rice is a staple food in the Philippines and we always eat it with different food or as we call it our "ulam" to go with rice. Rice can be cooked in different ways and the best method of cooking rice is by steaming it. If boiled in much water, it loses a portion of its already small percentage of nitrogenous elements. It requires much less time for cooking than any of the other grains. Like all the dried grains and seeds, rice swells in cooking to several times its original bulk.


We Filipinos also make "Sinangag" or fried rice. Philippine style fried rice is a simple dish of rice, meat/and or vegetables, a little oil, some spice and a garnish. Filipino fried rice or Sinangag is less seasoned than other versions of fried rice such as Chinese Fried rice, but the recipe utilizes the same techniques. One difference in the final outcome is colour — Filipino Fried Rice will usually be paler in color because there is no soy sauce in the cooking. This is an easy, delicious and versatile rice recipe than anyone can enjoy. It is also easily modified for vegetarians and vegans.

Can we handle the 10-point basic education agenda of President Aquino? The 10-point agenda is a list of 10 things the government can achieve for education over the next three to six years. I will now present my insights on this particular topic.

There is one goal of this agenda that I am interested in. It is the expansion of the current K-10 education(6 years in elementary and 4 years in high school) to a 12-year basic education cycle; adding 1 year to elementary and another year to high school.

The 12-year basic education curriculum has advantages and also some disadvantages.

First the advantages:

This curriculum will provide more time/years to study therefore students will acquire more knowledge and more experiences to learn from. This will help students harness their full potential and talents as they grow as a person. This will offer better basic education in preparation for tertiary or college education.
These are just some of the advantages that I can give and I believe that these will help a person learn effectively.
