Pacquiao’s biggest fight: how does he intend to keep his promises for Sarangani?
Tatapusin ang kahirapan. Wastong edukasyon ng bawat batang Pilipino. Abot kayang serbisyong pangkalusugan. Lalabanan ang kawatan. Libreng pabahay. Madaming trabaho. Libreng gamot. Imprastraktura. Ospital. Hindi na magtataas ng taxes. These are only some of the many promises given by the candidates during the recent National Elections. They’re not new. After all, promises are and have [...]
Engaging Sual Parents in Education
“Ang gawa sa pagkabata, dala hanggang pagtanda.” The *Dolch Test scores released last August probably came as no surprise to many parents. After all, they were the first ones to admit that their children are not performing well in school, and they were also the first to admit they haven’t been doing much about it. [...]
Empowering Itogon
Just came back from our Itogon PMT Meeting and I am overjoyed to see so much potential for greatness :) Working hand in hand is key to a fruitful and productive team who will enable the community to take part in the Education Governance program in Itogon!
The plight of teachers
I’ve always known that the plight of public school teachers in our country is deplorable. But until I saw with my own eyes, and heard with my own ears from these undervalued and underpaid molders of our country’s young, and those who work closely with them, I never realized how much I didn’t know. I [...]
I Love To Read: Magat Salamat
I was at Tondo this morning for the Culminating Activity of one of our schools, Magat Salamat Elementary School. The 2nd year of the program was truly phenomenal! From having 94% non-readers to just 4% readers all in one year! I am proud of these kids, their hardworking, underpaid teachers, their gracious and lovely Principal, [...]
Who’s going to champion our cause in Sual?
The driver of Team Energy arrived in Ministop at exactly 5:00 am. Ms. Cynthia and Aissa were already inside. As soon as we left Dian, Ms. Cynthia asked me if I brought the laptop. I said I didn’t. I intentionally left it at home because just yesterday, Dr. G talked to Aissa and me about [...]
Hayop sa pagpatay ah!
Nothing infuriates me more than when I hear news of Abu Sayaff and NPA rebels capturing a soldier and ‘liquidating’ him (before torturing) and vice versa. WHY are we so cruel to each other? Tell me, please! What do we get from torturing and killing people? I don’t want an answer on how the military [...]
Oranbo 101
When Ms. Annie arrived at Oranbo Elementary School last Saturday, the place was still in disarray. Chairs have not been wiped; registration tables have not been placed; even the backdrop has not been put up. We were expecting about 150 parents to attend the workshop. The program starts at 9, but 30 minutes before the [...]
Balikan ang Edukasyon (Unang sabak)
My first on-site visit was at San Joaquin Elementary School for the Education Summit this morning. I managed not to get lost going to Pasig (city proper) taking only two modes of transportation: the bus from my place going to Crossing, and a jeep going to San Joaquin. I left the house at 7 in [...]
Just that.
Maybe I’m made for bigger things that’s why I can’t get myself to settle for ‘just that’. Like looking for a job. Since I entered college and after I graduated, I’ve always held this notion that I’m made for something big, that I won’t simply choose to get into a job for the lure of [...]
Let's hear it
