Rapid Population Growth in the Philippines

Introduction:
Last Thursday, September 16 of the current year, we the student of the Dalubhasaan ng Lunsod ng San Pablo(DLSP) had our “Educational Trip” to Subic, Olongapo.
Aside from the Ocean Adventure at Subic, Olongapo, we also went to Nayong Pilipino at Clack, Pampanga and in Barasoain Church and Museum at Malolos Bulacan.
The aim of this educational trip is to broaden the knowledge of students in the different fields of learning.
Here is a brief discussion of what the trip was all about.

Below is a brief discussion about the said trip:

Buses were hired from Solomon Travel and Tours for the means of transportation. Collection of wavers, signing of attendance and planning of seats were done before the driver run the bus. We departed at 4:00 A.M. A few hours later, were already at Barasoain Church and Museum. We were able to tour and take picture around. We enjoyed and had fun.

Field Observation:
Built in 1630, during the Spanish era, Barasoain church played a major part in the Philippine political history. It is one of the Philippine’s pride.
Other photos taken inside the church:

A short film about the history of our country was watched.

Convening of the First Philippine congress, Drafting of the Malolos Constitution and the Inauguration of the First Philippine Republic are some examples. After watching, the tour was resumed. I see the happiness of everyone with their smile.

Trivia: The term Barasoain was derived from the Filipino word “baras ng suwail” which means “dungeon of the defiant”. This church was featured at the back of the old ten peso bill.

After this tour at Barasoain Church and Museum, we traveled going to Nayong Pilipino for two hours. We were reminded about the things that need respect and a brief background before the tour. Nayong Pilippino is a cultural time machine for the Philippines were we can find a unique Filipino village and a representation of a miniature version of the diverse Philippine and its

    The appropriateness of this approach becomes clearer when we consider the educational purpose that is the focus of this book: understanding. We cannot say how to teach for understanding or which material and activities to use until we are quite clear about which specific understandings we are after and what such understandings look like in practice. We can best decide, as guides, what “sites” to have our student “tourists” visit and what specific “culture” they should experience in their brief time there only if we are clear about the particular understandings about the culture we want them to take home. Only by having specified the desired results can we focus on the content, methods, and activities most likely to achieve those results.…

From being unable to be with family in the Philippines as they suffered from illness to seeing the poverty-stricken life of the people in Pampanga, I have developed a deep appreciation of the opportunities I have been…

Barrameda in Canaman Through the Centuries (1982) is that it got its name from trunks of Calophyllum inophyllum tree, locally called palo maria, cut into bars or varas in Spanish. Third version as claimed by the locals, Baras is a contraction of "barang." According to Barrameda, the place was the first one glimpsed or discerned from Nueva Caceres, as the result of the massive tree cutting ordered by the colonizers when they attempted to transfer the town center and the original church from Poro to the locality in the 1600s.Before 1780s, Baras was a visita along with Poro, Talidtid and Taculod. It was the gateway of the town to the city of Nueva Caceres. The emergence of these visitas was mainly due to the expansion of farmland around the cabecera. Gerona told, unlike Poro, Baras had…
