Elpidio Quirino,his early life,career and achivements

 Elpidio Quirino, the Philippines' sixth president, was a well-known figure in Philippine politics for his commitment to public service and role in developing the country's economic development. Quirino was born on November 16, 1890, in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, and grew up with a strong sense of community and a desire to learn. He began his career as a barrio teacher in his hometown of Caoayan, Ilocos Sur, exhibiting his desire to empower people. His quest for study drove him to Manila, where he worked as a junior computer technician at the Bureau of Lands and a property clerk for the Manila Police Department.

In 1915, Quirino graduated from the University of the Philippines with a law degree, marking his interest in further education. The legal fraternity accepted him onto its Bar later that same year, and so a journey in law commenced. He also participated in private practice. His first involvement in politics came in 1919 when he was voted to serve in the Philippine House of Representatives as a congressman for the first district of Ilocos Sur. He held this position for the period of 1920-1925. He moved up the political ladder in the Philippines in 1925 and was elected to the Philippines' Senate, where he served with the first senatorial district out of 4. He has served in the Commonwealth government in two different portfolios, being Finance secretary and Interior secretary. Quirino’s public service contributions are further revealed in the year 1934.

The political life of Elpidio Quirino was filled with notable achievements and deep patriotic devotion towards the Philippines. There is evidence that during the Second World War, Quirino did not collaborate with laurel’s puppet government and became an active underground militant opposing Japanese rule over his homeland. Several times he was arrested and imprisoned in Fort Santiago by the Japanese gendarmerie while his wife and three of their five children died when attempting to escape the household amid the Manila assault. Following the conflict, Quirino returned to the limelight as the Secretary of State and Vice President of the first president of free Philippines Manuel Roxas. A succession of presidents started on April 15, 1948, when Quirino assumed office after Roxas’s death. Following this, in 1949, Cuinrio was re-elected, this time defeating a Nacionalista candidate. Tugging his term, Cuinrio was ruminating the Hukbalahap (Huk) movement, a guerrilla army led by old Japanese communists who initially fought for this cause. There were efforts to reach a peaceful settlement with the Huks, but these talks were suspended in late 1948 and afterwards the Huks occupied a considerable part of Luzon. Instead, Quirino started a campaign to rid the insurgency Meng the people with Ramon Magsaysay as Secretary of National Defense.

I learned about search engines, domain name levels, web browsers, and web servers.  I also learned how to create and publish a blog. This  class helped me discover the internet and its history. It appeared that I had received new knowledge; it was particularly useful but stressful caused by a few problems, but it was still fun to study. I plan to put this information and my discoveries to good use in the future. My concerns and challenges in the first quarter were that I didn't understand some of the lesson very well. second is when we initially began writing a blog.
