As technology evolved, our means of communication has evolved or developed with it. This has led to the creation of social media sites which are a form of electronic communication through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other contents such as videos.

Soocial media helped the families of the survivors by having a quick access with their loved one’s conditions; hereby victims who have been affected by the situation can be able to communicate with their families or relatives to seek for help or support.

On the other hand, for social workers social media can be an instrument to educate them information’s during calamities and served the affected people with the collaboration of our government. 

Mainly, our government can spread and disseminate information to informed affectionate citizens that certain area have been affected by the disaster which were really needing both urgent and long term support, so that, they can be able to  respond and address the crisis swiftly.

Hey there! I’ve got something important to talk about today: The “About Me Page” wherein I have to tell something about myself. Welcome to my blog!

Hi! I am Geann R. Castillo you can also call me ‘Ge’. I was born on April 9, 2003 at Bauan, Batangas. Since I came from Batangas before at the age of 4, they said I’m a Batangeña and my relatives and family often call me ‘Batang’ which I hate hearing that nickname the most. I’m sixteen years old and currently I live in San Manuel, Pangasinan. I’m the only daughter of my parents and I find it boring ‘coz I don’t have a sibling to cuddle with. How i wish to have one, in my dreams, Lol.

I grew up in Laoac, Pangasinan with my aunt’s house since my mom is working abroad it is the only place where my aunt will gonna take care of me, about my dad? We don’t have any contact with my him and I just met him twice.

As of now, I am a Grade 11 student taking ABM strand in Math Excellence Academy of Binalonan, Inc.The reason why I choose ABM, it is because it is my interest and I want to become an Accountant in the future. Becoming a Senior High School (SHS) student is really such a big stepping stone to fulfill our dreams in the future.

I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. I love being alone in my room. I read books when its my free time. Surfing my social media accounts. My favorite color is the shades of violet. I love cats but I don’t have one.

My life is full of meaningful relationships and memories. Each step in my life and each moment that goes by make me up as an individual person. Every experience in my life good or bad, happy or sad makes me stronger. Each passing moment is a new life experience for me and makes me grow into the person I want to be. 

Thanks for joining me!

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
