PHILIPPINE NATIONAL SYMBOLS

-
Symbols represent a wide variety of things. When people see a particular symbol, they associate it with something meaningful or standard. With this, each country has their own national symbols to identify themselves from others and to unite its citizens through nationalism.

NATIONAL ANIMAL: CARABAO
If common men have dogs as their best friend, then the carabao or Philippine water buffalo is the Filipino farmer’s best friend. They’re beasts of burden, able to do almost everything that needs to be done on the rice fields, including carry the farmer and his goods. But, without any laws to recognized them, they’ll remain an unofficial symbol of the country.

NATIONAL FRUIT: MANGO
A common sight in Philippine wet and dry markets, the mango has long been seen as the National fruit. As popular as it is for making desserts, there is no law that proclaims it as a national symbol.

1.TASK a  task  is an activity that needs to be accomplished within a defined period of time or by a deadline to work towards work-related goals. A task can be broken down into assignments which should also have a defined start and end date or a deadline for completion. One or more assignments on a task puts the task under execution. Completion of all assignments on a specific task normally renders the task completed. Tasks can be linked together to create dependencies. Tasks completion generally requires the coordination of others. Coordinated human interaction takes on the role of combining the integration of time, energy, effort, ability, and resources of multiple individuals to meet a common goal.

Coordination allows for the successful completion of the otherwise larger tasks that one might

His weapons were one of a kind and included the best materials. In the summer of 2007, a gold-encrusted sword that once belonged to Napoleon was auctioned off in France for more than $6.4 million dollars. The sword was used by Napoleon in battle. In the early 1800s, Napoleon presented the weapon to his brother as a wedding gift. The sword was passed down from generation to generation, never leaving the Bonaparte family. In 1978, the sword was declared a national treasure in France and the winner of the auction was not identified. 2 .
