“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” -

Nelson Mandela

Education is the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. This
education is what we need in order to survive in facing the life that God gave us. It is
said that education is necessary. Wherein everyone should be eqipped with proper
knowledge in order to have a successful and meaningful life. We are grateful
because through education, we are able to unleash the better version of ourselves.
We discover something new and useful not only for ourselves but also for the whole
society. Education is the key to eliminating gender inequality, to reducing poverty, to
creating a sustainable planet, to preventing needless deaths and illness, and to
fostering peace. Education is an investment, and one of the most critical investments
we can make. But today, there are thousands of people who are not able to go to
school because of lack of financial capabilities or we can say because of poverty. And
if that will continue, we can’t have a chance to make changes for the betterment of
the world.

Aside from those good outcome of education I also believe that education changes a
person. Admit it or not, as we learn different things through education we are
changing positively and we are able to open our minds on new ideas. By opening
ourselves in new ideas and concepts it influences the way we see the world. It is
education that empowers individual to act or respond to circumstances they usually
would not have. Changing a person through education will lead to changing the
world. If each person has the proper knowledge it will result to different inventions
that everyone of us can get benefit. Inventions that can help our lives easier and
make our world change positively. Also, we live in a knowledge based economy,
where we probably have access to knowledge more readily than ever before. But
knowledge is deemed powerless if it is not interpreted or applied correctly. And
herein lies the power of education that it is a tool or a weapon that shapes us as
human beings.The application of knowledge in real life scenarios lead to problem
solving, which in turn affects the socio-economies of countries and eventually it
contributes to world change.

Therefore education has the power to change not only the person, but also the
society and in time the world. It is this nature of change that makes education one of
the most powerful weapons to impact the human race which is to alter the world.
“We strongly believe that Philippines has huge potential in the tourism industry,
given our beautiful islands, moderate weather conditions, good cuisine, and the flair
of the Filipinos for hospitality and entertainment.” - Henry Sy

Philippines is considered as one of the most beautiful places for tourists to visit. The
beaches, heritage towns and monuments, mountains, islands and diving spots are
among the country’s most popular tourist destinations. The country's rich historical
and cultural heritage, including its festivals and indigenous traditions, are also one of
the attractions of Philippines.

Henry Sy said that Philippines has a huge potential when it comes in tourism
industry, and I agree with that because our country has different tourist attractions
wherein tourists can really relax and enjoy. We have the Department of Tourism who
are assigned to make regulations for the betterment of each tourist spots and for it’s
promotion. Aside from the country’s attractions here are the Filipinos who are very
hospitable, which are also considered as wealth of the Philippines. Those attractions
are useless if we don’t have that Filipinos who are good by heart. They are the one
who really worked hard in order to maintain the perfect attractions and the good
tourism industry in the Philippines. Another reaason of successful tourism industry of
the Philippines is the festivals and indigenous traditions like fiestas. Tourists are able
to join this kind of festivals wherein they can gain different good memories and
experiences.

We are very blessed for having all of that. Philippines as well as the Filipinos are now
known in the whole world because of the beautiful destinations in the country and
also because of the good characteristics of the Filipino citizens. We must maintain
and improve this good vibes in terms of tourism. We are very grateful that we have
these beautiful attractions and we don’t need to travel a couple of hours in order to
witness all of that. In order to do that, each and everyone of us must take an action
to save and protect our environment specially to those places where lots of tourists
are having their vacation
