The Department of Education official theme for 2018 National Reading Month is Pagbasa : Susi sa Magandang Kinabukasan.
Reading has a powerful effect on our capacity to learn ,develop and grow. Many of us are aware of the positive results that come with a reading habit. But why are more people especially young students not reading more books? Probably because these people do not put value on reading and may have not not graduated from high school or college. They do not see the correlation between reading and success. Another reason that prevents reading is the busy schedule. But if we look at this students they have a lot of time to watch TV, browse social media rather than prioritizing reading which has a huge return of investments. We must listen to what Confucius said " No matter how busy you think, you must find time for reading or surrender yourself, o self-chosen esteem.
Research reveals that achievement and life success is connected with reading ability. Furthermore, people with higher reading skills ends up with higher income, better housing and more professional as less in adulthood (Jerry Diakiw,2017).
Some teachers suggest to build passion for reading at an early age.
Reading has never been bad for us . It gives us many benefits and it also sharpens our minds to different things around us.

June 12 ,2018 is the 120th celebration of our Philippine Independence. It is more than waving a flag  and organizing celebrations. It is a commemoration for our country's freedom from different colonizations. A reminder of the determination of the Filipinos to exercise their right to liberty and independence. It brings honor to those who sacrificed their lives to end the abuses of different foreign countries like the Spaniards. As well as serve as inspiration for young generations to take lead in fighting for freedom and independence against threats to our country. At present what does Independence Day mean to us Filipinos?

It is but proper for us to join in the celebration to present our optimism as Filipinos amid times of conflict and hardship.
