A COLORFUL WEEKEND...

The coming weekend is going to be colorful one, not only for me but for the whole society. Two key events are about to be celebrated and observed this coming Friday and Saturday. Add up the closing of the Second Semester of the School Year 2010-2011 (and the end of the School Year for that), and the result is one bombastic weekend!!!

===

1. FILIPINOS! UNITE UNDER GOD FOR LIFE!!! 
(March, Rally, Pray for Life - Interfaith Rally against the RH Bill)
March 25, 2011, 4:00-9:00 PM, Quirino Grandstand, Manila

> Following the call of His Eminence, Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales of the Archdiocese of Manila to gather in one voice to support life and oppose the RH Bill, the Archdiocese of Manila and suffragan dioceses along with our friends from other denominations will celebrate life and shout once again its opposition on the RH Bill at the Quirino Grandstand on Friday, March 25, 2011. The program starts at 4:00 PM, and the Mass to be officiated by Cardinal Rosales will be celebrated at 7:00 PM.

March 25 is the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord's Birth, one sacred event in the history of Salvation. In our country, this day is also designated as the Day of the Unborn Children, a day of prayer for those infants who had been killed by abortion and infanticide. Once the RH Bill is passed, surely everyday will be a Day for the Unborn, which is against the moral laws and the fundamental law of our land.

We encourage you to come in blue and white. We also encourage you to prepare banners and posters, be it simple cartolina or a big tarpaulin. As long as it carries a pro-life message, it will suffice.

If you are for life, come and join us in this great undertaking!

2. EARTH HOUR 2011
March 26, 2011, 8:30-9:30 PM

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35countries/territories participating. Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, CN Tower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

And this year, they had chosen March 26, Saturday, as the day designated to have everybody's lights turned off for even just one hour. For a trivia, the Philippines is one good participant of the Earth Hour during the past three years.

We encourage everyone to continue taking a stand of support for the planet against its eternal doom through Climate Change. Be with us on March 26, from 8:30-9:30 PM. 

Also, we encourage those participating to do more than turning the lights off for one hour. Let's together work our own simple ways to stop climate change. Everybody has something to do, not only them, but us as well!

===

Well, this is one colorful weekend to end the month of March. If you have nothing to do this coming weekend, come join me and the whole society in observing and celebrating these two events which would help shape the destiny of our country and the whole world.

DON'T JUST SIT THERE READING! DO SOMETHING!!!

My OB Experiences...



A Final Point of Reflection…

After twelve weeks of observation, I realized a lot of things. Maybe this is pure coincidence, but the circumstances tell otherwise.

Ø      I am sure now of the path which I am taking. When I was asked before why did I take Education, my first answer was because I love kids. When I immersed in Field Work, I saw the real thing behind this answer. I tend to love my students very much! It’s hard to reprimand them even for the proper reasons. I’d like to work more for their welfare, yung para sa ikapapasa nila. I carefully love what it is to be a teacher.
Ø      It’s hard to be a newbie! I’d encountered a good number of failures on my stay in MNHS, from sitting in the Teacher’s table, to promoting CMU without a permit, and even to the point of a student rejecting me for having my OB for only once a week. Nevertheless, I took it positively, pondering a lesson out of each fall. I know that out of these misdemeanors, I can be a better Student Teacher – hopefully a professional teacher – next time I would be immersed in the field.
Ø      Being a teacher is beyond the mere word. Truly, through the various experiences which I undertook in MNHS proves enough that being a teacher is damn hard! I should be vigilant, responsible, yet keeping my calm. If not, I would never be the expectations of my students and resource teacher. I would be eaten by the corrupt society, the negative side of teaching.
Ø      I must show different emotions according to situation. The experiences in IV-SPA and IV-Crimson taught me that I should not always show my jolly side. I must also know how to discipline and reprimand my students whenever they do something wrong. Though it was hard for me to exhibit such behavior, I need to because if I don’t do it, I would never convey the right message to them.
Ø      After Field Study, it’s really hard to move on! It took me almost a week to be back on my real self. Within that week, I am into a sea of sadness. I felt that I need to go back to MNHS. Naturally, that’s one sign that I am stuck to my students even for a short period. I really love what it is to be a teacher!

In conclusion, I would like to cite the words of the outgoing SSC President, Ms. France Ann O. Elias: When you do something, make the most out of it! In my FS, I tried to give my best to reach my students. I succeeded in doing so, and did more than that. Though at times I felt like makapal ang mukha in doing so, in the end I saw its fruit and am satisfied that its good outcome.

My stay in MNHS is not a dark one full of reprimands and sufferings; mine is one colorful immersion because of the time well-spent among me, Ma’am Limpoco, and my students. As I leave them, I know that the memories I left them would be pondered as long as it is alive.

With this, I finish my Portfolio. Thank you for taking some time to take a good look at my good memories on my first Field Work. See you when I go on my second Field Study! J

Fighting Voices
(INSIDE 4244... PART TWO)

With RH Bill taking the limelight in the local scene, the two opposing forces had been raising their voices so that they may win the fight.

One voice carries those of the proponents and their supporters, wishing that the Bill may be passed in due time, ASAP.


The other voice represents the Catholic Church and allies saying that the Bill is EVIL IN CHARACTER and will lead the country and its inhabitants to instant doom. 


It has been sometime now when they had been on the streets here in Metro Manila, and everywhere in the country. They're inviting everybody to follow them. Some are aggressive in fighting for their side; others go with the flow and attend rallies just for the food or the back-up money. Surprisingly, we can find others that remain their total silence; we can hear nothing from them but only two words, No Comment. Bahala na pag naipasa o hindi yang Bill na yan. Wala namang magbabago.


And the fight doesn't end there. On Friday, March 25, 2011 (Solemnity of the Annunciation and National Day of the Unborn), His Eminence Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales of Manila invites all the faithful from the Archdiocese of Manila and all its suffragan dioceses to gather in Luneta, and once again unite for Life and defend the county against RH Bill. All faithful Catholics showed their support for this move of His Eminence, and will heed his call to gather and celebrate life on Friday.


Just while the moves are going underway, both pro and anti-RH Bill, here's some news for everybody. There had been updates regarding some 'amendments' made in the bill itself. Some parts were changed in thought, others deleted. This leaves the general public in a bright confusion. What could possibly be the intention of the proponents of the bill, and would it help lessen the commotion that is currently happening in the Metro and in the other parts of the Republic?

Being a country that loves life and what it is to live, we must deeply show our concern for the welfare of the unborn child and the fate of our nation. With that, let me share with you this article from the Philippine Star, written by Atty. Jose C. Sison, a known opponent of the RH Bill. I'd highlighted the noting parts of the article, these got my interest and attention. I hope this would help you understand the article itself.

Last country standing 

Updated March 21, 2011 12:00 AM


According to latest reports, the principal author of the RH Bill (HB 4244) has introduced some amendments. This move may look like a tactical retreat as the opposition gains ground. But it may also be just a “one step backward two steps forward” strategy. Indeed, a cursory look at the changes shows that they were apparently designed to make the Bill more attractive especially to his colleagues in the House of Representatives who are still undecided.

But the amendments are not actually that substantial and significant as to lure these legislators in the Lower House to make up their minds and support the Bill. This is not my own assessment only. Several readers have sent in their reactions after closely analyzing the proposed revisions like these ones from Zoe Vidal (choice4life@gmail.com), and Linda Valenzona (valenzona.lg@gmail.com). They have apparently been closely monitoring the developments and have conducted an in-depth examination of the changes which are specifically found in:

* Section 13 on the role of the Local Government Units, where the final line now reads “help implement the Act” rather than “give priority to family planning work”. Whatever may be the intent here, “the Bill still imposes the obligation to enforce the provisions of the Act” some of which are unconstitutional. So it is still objectionable.

* Section 15, where the procurement and operation of Mobile Health Care Service shall now be funded by the National Government rather than from the Priority Development Assistance Fund of each congressional district. Obviously, the amendment aims to assure members of the House of Representatives that the RH Law will not diminish their respective pork barrels.

* Section 16, where parents are now given the option of not allowing their minor children to attend classes pertaining to Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education. This is still not acceptable because it does not prohibit but mandates the DepEd to “conduct the immoral and deformed UNFPA sex education programs” which are of doubtful constitutionality.

* Section 20 fixing the ideal family size, has been deleted. But such deletion “does not mean that the government cannot set population targets or engage in cultural re-engineering activities to reduce family size. In fact such programs are now being implemented by the DOH and other government departments”.

* Section 21 on employers’ responsibility has been deleted because it is just a “restatement and amplification of the existing Article 134 of the Labor Code”. So the deletion actually means nothing and adds nothing to the acceptability of the RH Bill. If anything, it merely confirms how laws can be crafted to coerce employers to apply inhumane and anti-life policies on their employees”.

* Section 28 (e) prohibiting the “malicious disinformation about the intent and provision of this Act” will also be deleted in its entirety “in order to afford widest latitude to freedom of expression within the limits of existing penal statutes”. This deletion however does not diminish the imposition on moral consciences of the Filipinos. The very existence of an RH Law is an oppressive imposition on freedom of conscience”.

Actually, the foregoing amendments do not at all change the underlying premise of the RH Bill, “the cornerstone upon which it builds the legal framework supporting its mandate for the promotion and distribution of artificial methods of family planning, particularly all forms of contraceptives”.

The Couples for Christ and the Families for Life (CFC-FFL) have correctly pointed out in their position paper opposing the RH Bill that its “underlying premise — that life begins at implantation — is wrong”. According to them both the “Philippine Medical Association and renowned embryologists concur that life begins at conception, when the male sperm fuses with the female egg cell”.

And pursuing the point further, the CFC-FFL then said that: “The framers of the Constitution had the same notion about the onset of life when they adopted Article II Section 12 which pertinently provides that ‘the State shall equally protect the life of….the unborn from conception. Thus during their deliberations to clarify this provision, the authors adopted the medical definition of the term conception (i.e fertilization of the ovum).

Since life begins at conception, then any post-conception act that prevents or stops the natural development of the fertilized ovum — an essential element of which is its implantation on the uterus — is an attack against life. If the attack is done deliberately — and succeeds — it may well qualify as murder. In any case, the act falls squarely within the legal meaning of abortion.

Many contraceptives exist for this specific purpose. They prevent the fertilized ovum from implanting itself on the uterus, depriving the ovum of its natural habitation and life support. Except for the relative degree of helplessness, the effect is no different from where an assailant kills an infant by means of starvation and suffocation.

By indiscriminately promoting all types of contraceptive devices and services, the RH Bill violates Article II Section 12 of the Constitution. In terms of effect, it will legalize the mass murder of innocent babies”.

The CFC-FFL also pointed out that while the Bill proclaims that the “State shall promote without bias all modern natural and artificial methods of family planning… practically all the important provisions relate to the promotion, implementation and funding of artificial family planning, e.g. Section 10 (Family Planning Supplies as Essential Medicines), Section 11 (Procurement and Distribution of Family Planning Supplies), Section 15 (Mobile Health Care Services), Section 16, (Mandatory Age-Appropriate Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education), Section 19, (Capability Building of Barangay Health Workers), Section 25 (Implementing Mechanisms), Section 26 (Reporting Requirements), Section 28 (Prohibited Acts), Section 29 (Penalties),and Section 30 (Appropriations). There is hardly any doubt therefore that the RH Bill is tilted heavily towards contraceptives and other forms of reproductive health services”, the CFC-FFL rightfully observed.

Undeniably, the RH Bill will sink because it is laden with provisions heavily weighed down by constitutional infirmities. But because of this Bill, “the fundamental love of Filipinos for family and life is under serious threat today”. Being the last country standing against this threat, there is an urgent need to stop it. So let us heed the call of Cardinal Rosales and join the prayer rally at the Luneta on March 25, 2011, 4:30 pm, the feast of the Annunciation, also the day of the unborn children. This promises to be “another EDSA at the Luneta”.

===

So, how could we explain this page which was posted on the Web sometime last week? What was supposed to be a page dedicated to protecting women's interests is presenting various ways of killing life!?! This is a clear violation of what is stated in the land's fundamental laws stating that we shall defend and protect life. This group is really going nuts, and I think they should be sued for this.


What is really inside HB 4244? I shall share with you the full text of the Bill and my insights on the next edition of INSIDE 4244. 

In the meantime, I would like to invite you all who love life and are concerned for the family to join us in fighting against the RH Bill. Let us go to Luneta on Friday, and join our Bishops, especially Cardinal Rosales, in voicing out the real sentiments of the people... IBASURA ANG RH BILL!!!

THE JAPANESE PACKAGE!

It's been a week now since the devastating earthquake had hit Japan, with the central point of events in Sendai City in Miyagi. We'd already heard of it in the news since day 01. The whole planet was shocked at what happened and is actually happening in the land of the Rising Sun.

Imagine a devastation so fierce that we shall call it the JAPANESE PACKAGE! The package consists of one 8.9 magnitude earthquake,...

...a 10-meter tsunami,... 

...and a nuclear crisis. 

What could be more sweeter? Thousands of lives were swept away by this catastrophic deal, including their houses and livelihood. Furthermore, we see a greater doom ahead due to the threatening meltdown of the Fukushima-Daichi Nuclear Power Plant. Those who survived the quakes are bound to nuclear radiation which can lead to mutation, complication or worse, death. 

At one point, this may be Nature's wake-up call to all those who are still into killing Mother Earth, that when she strikes back, she is in full throttle. With Global Warming and Climate Change sweeping the world upside down, the situation brought about by the tsunami turned out to be worse. As quoted, some parts of the coastal Sendai City and adjacent towns were wiped-off the map because of the sweeping waters that did not go back to the sea after the catastrophe. 



At another point, this is God's response to their NO to life. With their good number of suicides, olden populace, and support for abortion, God has also something to say. It's like, You don't like to continue life... Let's see about that. You may contradict with my views alright, but after prior experience of floods and typhoons in China and some parts of Europe in the past, let's look at the reality. I ask myself, what if the same thing happens in the Philippines if ever the people there at Congress continue to fight against life? Look, only God has the powerful right to give and take somebody's life, and we have no possible right to intrude with this. Otherwise, he will use nature to show his wrath. Well, except for the baby below which was found amid the rubbles of the Tsunami in Sendai.


Finally, this is the time for the Japanese to shine! No offense in the use of words, but this is the way to define how the Japanese rises through the rubbles swept away by the angry waters. People still show discipline though there are already scarcity of food, gas, and even potable water and electricity. Japanese men tend to leave behind and send their wives and children to the city, to safer ground. And most notable of these are the Faceless Fifty, the fifty workers in Fukushima Power Plant who stayed behind to monitor the happenings in the Nuclear reactors, so as to prevent any graver damage to everyone and everything. They know how to show the right manners at the right place at the right time. This one thing I admire in the Japanese is that despite the dreadful reality, they still have discipline in their veins. When will the Filipinos have this kind of control and manner?



And so, after one week of  looking after the events, I can't help but to speak of my points of view regarding the tragedy in Japan. Though I became bias in some points here, I would still like to express my deepest sympathy to the Japanese race because of what happened. My heart and sentiments go to the millions of Japanese people affected by the tragedy, with all my prayers that they may stand again and prove to the world the the rising sun is still going to shine on them.

INSIDE 4244....
(Part 01...hope this will be consistent.)

I was greeted a very good morning this vid in Youtube, showing the views of some Americans on Pro-choice. I thought this is just a simple video on Abortion (which would not surprise me already since I'd been watching it from Fourth Year High School), but the content is far beyond what is expected.


This is the view of people who chose to oppose life. 

They say that the Church has nothing to do with their options  whether to chose or to stop life. According to them, they have the first-hand choice and nobody, even their own parents, can stop them if they want to commit casual sex, to use contraceptives, or to continue the babe in their womb.

They also have their own definition of a baby. for them, a baby is a fetus that has been born. An unborn baby is an obstruction to their jobs, and they want it aborted there and then before the case becomes 'worse.'

Abortion must be funded. This is their demand for the government who helps them do their 'rightful' deeds. They must give proper monetary support to planned parenthood, and to its underlying lies.

These, among many others, had been the demands of the many 'liberal' Americans who think that they are the master of their own lives, and that they can choose whether the life in their womb is to be continued or shunned. And nothing - absolutely NOTHING - can stop them from choosing what is 'the best' for them.

This is the American's point of view regarding Pro-choice. They are trying to take it to Philippine soil through House Bill 4244, known as the Reproductive Health Bill (modernly coined as Responsible Parenthood Bill). Its proponents and supporters view this as the answer to the 'overpopulated' problem that the islands is facing, and the main way towards progress in our society.

Supporters of the bill go from the different walks of life, majority from the lower stratum of society. Accordingly, they do not want to be poor anymore, and they are lot happier when they have their own control of the number of children in the society.

So, what's inside the RH Bill? And one more thing, have you ever visited this site?



I will continue talking about the reality behind Pro-choice and RH Bill in the coming weeks. Also, starting today, I put a stand on this site. THIS SITE IS AGAINST THE RH BILL; THIS SITE IS IN THE SUPPORT AND DEFENSE OF LIFE.

NOW WATCHING: Love So Divine (Kwon Sang Woo, Ha Ji Won)

Back to blogging! Hope it would do good this time. Having freedom is something. Not constrained with what is to be posted. Besides, this is what blogging is all about.

Well, this past weekend, I passed by my Ate Espie's house at Marikina City (which marked the first time ever that I visited Marikina). I became close with her brother, Ericson. He shared with me some Korean Vids which may also take my interest. Among there is my favorite Paraang-Juibo (My Girl and I). But there is a movie there which took my interest the first time I watched it.

It is entitled Love, So Divine, starring Kwon Sang Woo and Ha Ji Won. It is about a seminarian, Gyu-shik, who, after some misdemeanor (not actually his fault), was sent with  Seon-dal, a fellow seminarian, to a pastoral mission (perhaps) in a local community.

There he will meet Bong-hie, the niece of Father Nam, the priest in the community. A pain in the neck who ran away from her parents in America, Gyu-shik was tasked to convert her to Catholicism. That task became hard for Gyu-shik to accomplish, since Bong-hie has really bad attitude. 

At this point, Gyu-shik fell in love with Bong-hie. This made him ask his vocation to the priesthood. At the end of the story, Gyu-shik did not receive the ordination, and instead returned to the community to live with Bong-hie.

Aside from the ticklish stints of this film, what shot me is the story itself. It presents the reality that not all who desire to become a priest becomes an ordained priest. Along the way, he may encounter events or circumstances which may affect his divine calling. In those instances, he must really ask God for guidance. He must also be open to his spiritual advisers and the like.

WALA AKONG MAISULAT (My own write-up for the 25th Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolt)

WALA AKONG MAISULAT!


1990 ako pinanganak. Malinaw na malinaw na hindi ako pinalad na maging bahagi ng dakilang rebolusyon sa EDSA ng 1986. Totoo nga nyan, namulat lang ako sa term na People Power nung nasa First Year High School na ako. Marami akong tanong sa aking isipan mula noon. Bakit nagka-EDSA? Para saan? Mahalaga ba yun?


Hmm...


Napakalalim na tanong. Ito rin ang dahilan kung bakit wala akong maisulat tungkol sa bagay na naganap noon. Wala nga malamang, dahil kahit anong pilit kong sumulat ng isang magandang katha, ay parang buko ang utak ko, puro tubig at kaunti lang ang laman. Sa totoo lang, kahit na anong salitang i-type ko, ay hindi matutumbasan ang karanasan ng di-mablilang na Pilipino na nagbarikada sa tapat ng Crame at Aguinaldo at sumisigaw na umalis na ang diktador.


Lahat ng kulay sa bahaghari ay nawala, ang natira ay ang mga yellow ribbon na nasa old oak tree. Nawala rin ang tatlong daliri sa kamay ng Pinoy. Ang natira ay yung dalawa na nakakagawa ng "L" na itinataas ng madla sabay sigaw ng "TAMA NA! SOBRA NA!" at kanta ng "BAYAN KO." Tuloy, dahil sa lahat ng yan, nagkaroon ng HANDOG NG PILIPINO SA MUNDO... MAGKAISA!!!


Buweno, dahil doon, umalis nga si Ferdie, at pumalit si Tita Cory. Nakisaya si Sin, si Johnny, si Fidel, pati na ang Veritas at ang Bandido. Nagsilayasan sina Imeldific, pati si Ver, ang Blue Ladies at ang mga loyalista. Nagsigalak sina Ninoy, at ang di-mabilang na mga kaluluwang napipiit sa dilim ng dekada '70.


Makalipas ang 25 years, sumunod na ring nauna sa biyahe sina Sin at Cory. Gusto ni Johnny na happy tayo, kaya senador pa rin siya hanggang ngayon. si Fidel, mula sa pagiging presidente, tumalon at ngayo'y common tao na rin. Si Imeldific, congresswoman na, at napakaelegante pa rin sa recycled jewelry. Si Bongbong na anak ni Ferdie at Imeldific, ayun at senador na. At si Noynoy na anak nina Cory at Ninoy, ayun rin at Presidente na!


Marami na ngang nangyari makalipas ng 1986. Pero ang mahalaga diyan, ang mga kaluluwa ng mga karaniwang Pinoy na nakiisa sa sigawan noon, ay patuloy sa pag-inog ng buhay. Yung ilan ay sumama na sa liwanag, ang iba ay patuloy na nagsisikap. At ang lugar na pinagganapan ng lahat, tinubuan na ng malalaking building at ginagapangan na ng MRT, ngunit ang espiritu ng People Power ay nananalaytay pa rin sa kanya. Sa dambana at monumentong makikita roon, tunay ngang masasabi nating may bakas pa rin ng diwa ng pagkakaisa at demokrasya ang EDSA. At iyan ang ating nalalasap hanggang ngayon.


PERO, WALA PA RIN AKONG MAISULAT!!!


==


25 Years.


Talaga ngang hindi ko mailalarawan ng malaliman ang buhay noong 1986. Talaga ngang hindi ako makakasigaw ng aking nararamdaman dahil hindi pa ako iniisip na gawin ng mommy at daddy ko. Pero kung tatanungin ninyo ang pananaw ko sa EDSA sa kasalukuyan, baka siguro may maisulat na rin ako.


Kung tutuusin, lahat ng aking natitikmang kalayaan ngayon ay dahil sa milagro ng EDSA. Kalayaan, katotohanan, demokrasya, freedom of speech and expression, facebook, TV, Cellphone, walang curfew, walang PC. Lahat ng ito, dahil sa pagsusumikap ng mga Pilipino noong EDSA Revolution.


Siguro nga, hindi na mawawala sa isip at puso ng Pilipino ang sigaw ng paglaban, na umaalingawngaw sa bawat pagkakataon at sandali. Kaliwa't kanang Rally na tumutuligsa sa mga gawaing terorismo, pagtaas ng singil sa pasahe, kuryente, matrikula. Mga welga laban sa extra-judicial killings, land reform at RH Bill. Hindi pa rin naman talaga nawawala ang reactiveness ng mga Pinoy. Natuto kasi tayong maging fearless, lumaban sa taliwas sa ating paniniwala bilang malayang bansa.




Imagine, hanggang ngayon, meron pa ring luma-LABAN!!!

LABAN sa nakakamatay na terorismo at kaharasan!

LABAN sa batas na mapang-api!

LABAN sa kahirapan!

LABAN sa makasariling interes!

LABAN para sa edukasyon at trabaho!

LABAN para sa kaunlaran!

LABAN para sa buhay!

LABAN para sa pantay-pantay na hustisya!

LABAN PARA SA PILIPINO!!!



...AT WALA PA RIN AKONG MAISULAT!!!


==


Grabe! Maraming taon na ang lumipas. 25 years na ang People Power! 25 years na tayong tumatayo mula sa dilim ng diktaturya patungo sa matuwid na daan ng demokrasya. Ibang-iba na ang Pilipinas ngayon. Isa na itong mayamang bansa na napapaligiran ng liwanag ng kapayapaan at pagkakaisa. Salamat sa lahat ng nagsama-sama noong apat na araw na iyon na nagpabago sa ating kahihinatnan bilang isang lahing magiting at lupang sinilangan.


Ako, bilang henerasyong sinundan ng EDSA, ay walang karapatang magsulat ng mga nangyari noong 1986. Pero bilang henerasyong nilalasap ang maging malaya sa sariling bayan, may karapatan rin akong magsulat ng mga bunga ng People Power Revolution. Ito ang iniwan nilang legacy para sa akin, sa amin. Tungkulin kong ibahagi ito sa iba, pagyamanin at ipagmalaki.


At para sa dahilan na ito, kaya ako sumusulat.


MABUHAY ANG EDSA REVOLUTION! MABUHAY ANG PILIPINO!!!

Last OB Day

And so, after 2 months and 10 weeks of field studying in Malabon National High School, comes this day wherein I am going to bid adieu already to my students. 

This is how it hurts pala. Destiny had not made me savor this experience last year, only to realize its totality today. Somehow, these youth had been a part already of my system and it is a little painful to let them go. 

Let's see what lies ahead today...

My petty reaction to what's happening around me.

Do we really need to react harshly to the reality? 

My friend told me once, 

HUWAG MONG TAKBUHAN ANG PROBLEMA... HARAPIN MO!

So I say, 

DON'T JUST REACT TO A PROBLEM... FACE IT!!!

Back to posting!!!

Grabe! Ang hirap talagang mag-maintain ng blog.


Well, I'd like to inform you all that sirbitz.blogspot.com will undergo another series of reformatting. Maybe by March 2011, we could have a new look and feel of this site. 


WedPost would also say goodbye for now, this site will return to the old way of posting, day-by-day. same thing goes for LIT-tie Monday.


Well, let's go. Proceed!!!
