DepEd emphasizes bayanihan spirit in simpler Brigada Eskwela 2023 launch

Wazzup Pilipinas!?



The Department of Education (DepEd) highlighted the bayanihan spirit, cooperation, and collaboration among its stakeholders and partners in the national kick-off of the 2023 Brigada Eskwela (BE) on Monday at Tarlac National High School.

“Brigada Eskwela [or] Schools Maintenance Week is an appeal to the bayanihan spirit of every Filipino to help prepare our schools for the opening of classes,” Vice President and Secretary of Education Sara Z. Duterte noted.

With the theme “Bayanihan Para sa Matatag na Paaralan,” this year’s BE underscored the country’s volunteer initiatives to ensure a clean, safe, inclusive, and child-friendly learning environment for learners and teaching and non-teaching personnel, and strengthen resiliency of schools and basic education.

The Department has issued DO No. 21, s, 2023, or known as the 2023 Brigada Eskwela Implementing Guidelines, to guide schools on sustaining partnership engagement activities and ensure its alignment with the components of the MATATAG Agenda.

“Ang Brigada Eskwela is pina-simple po namin, kung nakita ninyo sa Department Order na ilinabas namin. Pina-simple namin para maintindihan ng lahat. It is just making our schools functional, clean, and orderly, inside and outside classrooms, and within school sites,” VP-Sec. Duterte explained.

Running from August 14 to 19, the advocacy program aims to encourage more local governments, communities, businesses, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other local and national partners to support the implementation of BE and contribute in adequately preparing public schools for the opening of classes on August 29.

To date, DepEd has received about 44 million donations from partners for public schools nationwide and about 1.6 million donations for Tarlac National High School.

For this year’s BE, the Department will no longer hold contests for Best Implementing School Awards, Hall of Fame Awards, and Brigada Plus at the national level to emphasize the true spirit of volunteerism. Schools, districts, and divisions may still give recognition to partners and stakeholders that participated in BE.

This move is to completely prevent the schools, school heads, teachers, and other personnel from holding solicitations to raise contributions for the conduct of its BE activities.

During the kick-off event, VP-Sec. Duterte visited the booths of DepEd’s 31 partner organizations who participated in the exhibit that showcases their support, contributions, and initiatives to public schools nationwide.

Best Camping Tips That Will Boost Your Outdoor Experience in 2023

Wazzup Pilipinas!




Camping is an exhilarating adventure that allows us to break free from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse ourselves in the embrace of nature. Whether you're an experienced camper or a first-timer, there's always something new to learn to enhance your outdoor experience. From setting up camp efficiently to mastering the art of campfire cooking, cool camping tips can elevate your adventure to a whole new level. Therefore, here are a few valuable insights and practical advice to help you make the most out of your camping escapades.

 
Choose the Perfect Campsite

Selecting the right campsite can significantly impact the quality of your camping experience, turning it from ordinary to extraordinary. As you embark on your outdoor adventure, there are several key factors to consider when seeking that perfect spot in nature's embrace. Firstly, look for a flat and level spot to set up your temporary home away from home. A level surface ensures a more comfortable sleeping arrangement and prevents any discomfort during your restful nights under the stars. Moreover, it provides stability for your tent and other camping equipment, reducing the risk of any unexpected mishaps.

Apart from flat terrain, it is crucial to steer clear of potential hazards that may mar your camping bliss. Stay vigilant and avoid areas under tall trees with dead or unstable branches that may come crashing down, disrupting your peaceful stay. Likewise, be mindful of flood-prone areas to prevent any unpleasant surprises during rainy days. Ensuring your campsite is free from such risks adds an extra layer of security, allowing you to truly relax and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.

Pitching Your Tent Like a Pro

One of the most essential camping skills that can truly make or break your camping trip is pitching a tent effectively. This skill is not only about speed but also about precision and stability. Before embarking on your camping expedition, invest some time in practicing assembling your tent. Familiarize yourself with all its components and the step-by-step process to save valuable time and avoid frustration at the campsite.

As Mother Nature can be unpredictable, it's crucial to secure your tent properly to withstand various weather conditions. Imagine a scenario where you encounter sudden gusts of wind or an unexpected downpour. Knowing that your tent is well-anchored brings immense peace of mind during such moments. Ensure you use sturdy tent stakes and guy lines to fortify your shelter, ensuring it stays firmly in place.

Mastering Campfire Building

Ah, the campfire! The heart and soul of camping camaraderie. Building a campfire is not only a skill but also an art form that brings people together, igniting conversations and memories that last a lifetime. However, the process of building a campfire goes beyond just throwing a bunch of logs together and lighting a match. Safety should always be the top priority.

First and foremost, familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations of the camping area regarding fires. Many campgrounds have designated fire pits or rings, ensuring the safety of both campers and the surrounding environment. Always adhere to these guidelines to protect delicate ecosystems and prevent potential hazards.

 
Essential Cooking Hacks

Cooking while camping can be a delightful experience, allowing you to savor delicious meals amidst the breathtaking beauty of nature. To make the most of your culinary escapades, consider some essential cooking hacks that will elevate your camping cuisine. When planning your camping meals, simplicity is key. Opt for easy-to-prepare recipes with minimal ingredients and cookware. Camping is not the time to attempt gourmet masterpieces with a long list of ingredients. Instead, focus on meals that are both tasty and straightforward to cook.

Investing in a quality camping cook set or a portable stove can revolutionize your outdoor cooking game. These compact and lightweight cookware options are specifically designed for camping, making it a breeze to prepare your favorite dishes. They are often equipped with efficient heat distribution, making your cooking process quicker and more efficient.

Staying Organized

Maintaining a tidy and organized campsite not only enhances the overall camping experience but also contributes to a more enjoyable and stress-free trip. Picture yourself in a well-organized camp where everything has its designated place, and you can easily find what you need when you need it. Blissful, right?

To achieve this level of camping zen, invest in some plastic containers or ziplock bags to compartmentalize your camping gear, food supplies, and personal items. Sorting your belongings into different containers will not only keep your campsite tidy but also protect your items from damage or getting lost in the wilderness. Also, pack all your essentials and some extra clothes just in case you need them, including a protective waterproof jacket that might be very helpful during rainy, windy, and cold nights.

Navigating the Campground

One of the worst feelings during camping is the fear of getting lost in the vast expanse of the campground. To avoid this unpleasant scenario and navigate like a seasoned explorer, there are several smart tactics to employ. Before setting off on any hikes or explorations, familiarize yourself with the campground's trail maps. Many campgrounds provide maps that highlight the different trails, attractions, and landmarks within the area. Study these maps in advance, noting key landmarks and the layout of the camping grounds. Understanding the terrain and the location of essential facilities, such as restrooms or water sources, can make a significant difference during your camping trip.

For the tech-savvy camper, GPS devices or smartphone apps can be valuable tools for navigation. Numerous camping and hiking apps offer real-time GPS tracking, making it easier to follow designated trails or mark points of interest. However, don't solely rely on technology, as battery life and signal reception can sometimes be unpredictable in remote areas. Make sure to have a backup plan in case your electronic devices fail you.

Camping is an adventure like no other, allowing us to unplug from the digital world and reconnect with nature. By implementing these cool camping tips, you can enhance your outdoor experience and create lasting memories. Embrace the beauty of the wilderness, challenge yourself with outdoor activities, and forge connections with fellow campers, as you embark on a journey of discovery, growth, and relaxation amidst the wonders of the natural world. Happy camping!
