EDITORIALNot all fairy tales begin
with Once upon a time, forthere are a handful of fairy talesthat begin with If I were elected,I promise
The latter openingphrase is often heard this time ofthe year as the national electiongets nearer. It is seemingly sadthat most part of the country hadexperienced such ever afterwhich ends unhappily. But whatis truly saddening is that many ofour countrymen are going
through extreme poverty up tothis very moment amid the fairytale plot started by some of ourelected officials.
Speaking of unfortunateevents, later this fourth week ofMarch, the Movie and TelevisionReview and Classification Board(MTRCB) had rated two shortfilms by acclaimed indie-film di-
Escolario would like to apologize to the UST COMELEC for the wrong
information we had published on page 7 of Escolario, Tomo 3 Bilang 1 which
was about the poll automation demo held here in the university. The said activity
was organized by the UST Election Advocacy Committee together with UST
COMELEC and not bythe Students Organization Coordinating Council (SOCC).
As promised, we republished the article on page 10 applying the necessary
correction.
rectors Brillante Mendoza and Jefrrey Jeturin for their works Ayos Ka andGanito tayo ngayon, Paano na tayo bukas?, respectively, with big X. Thetwo films received such rating not because these depict obscenity or nuditybut because these show the truth about the country and its dirty politics.They reasoned out that the films are undermining the faith and confidenceof the people in the government. However, they could never deny that it isthe truth and the people are subjected to such poverty, crimes, corruptionand false hopes. They want to acknowledge the only truth that is convenientfor them. It is very alarming that the government had already grasped thecarefree world of show business, and the state of tyranny has escalatedthese much.
The power must be brought back to the people, and the upcomingMay 2010 election is the right time to do that. It is nice to know that we haveplenty of choices this time around. However, we must still be decisive. Wemust know beyond what they are saying and look deeper into their charac-ter. After all, seeking the truth is what we, Thomasians, hold for.
Being a politician is easy; but, being a leader is not. We are to elect
not a politician but a leader. BENEDICK F. ESPERAEditor-in-Chief

STRAIGHT FROM THE ADVISERMARIA CARMELITA C. COLOMA
PRESIDENT S NOTERAJIV ELDON E. ABDULLAH
I warmly congratulate all the Offi-cers and Staff of Becarios de SantoTomas for choosing to be advocatesand campaigning for the environ-ment together with all the scholars ofthe University of Santo Tomas in ourGeneral Assembly last January 24,2010.
I am proud to be part of thiscause and would like to share the
challenges that the campaign posesto all Thomasians.
The underlying principle of thatgathering is to make scholars awareand think of ways to contribute inpreserving the gifts of Mother Natureand shed light about the importance
of each ones role in rebuilding ourplanet.
In our present time, where envi-ronmental problems and climatechange are the most critical andmost mainstream of our global prob-lems, a challenge is urgently callingus to respond.
I believe that stimulating the con-science of Thomasian scholars inthis field is not enough, rather, it isthrough the determination in taking
action inspired by their CatholicChristian faith and Thomasian valueswhere help and change can be done.The test posed to us by climatechange and environmental problemsthat we are facing today requireseffort and an awakening of con-
sciousness and of conscience needsto be embedded, sustained and in-grained in our everyday life. Let usalways keep in mind that our planetand our environment is not only anextension of our lives but the life thatwas given us to us by God, wherewe all belong and live as one com-munity.
Together, as one community ofThomasian Scholars, let us unite inaddressing the challenges facing us
and find solutions by applying ourintellect to service the common goodwith optimism and hope. Let us pro-tect our home the Earth, so that itmay continue to house love, com-passion, faith, understanding, andfriendship.
The universitys academicyear has seen much. More than athousand student activities havemanaged to compromiseschedules with AH1N1, Ondoy anda bunch of other events that hasshaped (or misshaped) not only theThomasian Community but thewhole nation inevitably.
This year as well, Becarios
has seen much. From the FirstGeneral Assembly, BOboTO TO!Boses ng Totoong Tomasino, tothe Scholars Forum, Truth andConsequence: Awakening andBuilding a Thomasian EarthWarrior; the Christmas GeneralAssembly, PASKOlar and itsCommunity DevelopmentExtension Program and theOutstanding Thomasian ScholarAwards 2010; the Fres-ko: TheFirst Step, a seminar for the new
members of the organization andTranscend, the Career Seminar forstudents on their penultimate andgraduating year; the communitydevelopment projects with Northville4B: Iskolars ng mga Scholars Year IV;What You Need to Know: Basic LifeSupport and First Aid Seminar; theeducational field trip for the kids of 4B,Taralets Bagets; from the LanyardProject to the Scholars Mass; thedifferent tie-up projects: BotongTomasino; Pintig, an exhibit of modernFilipino champions and heroes;Makibata; the Apprenticeship Program,Sinugdanan: Tikas. Tibay. Tatag.; MootPoint, the peer tutorials; and the verything you are holding right now, theEscolario.
To whom much is given, muchis expected. (Luke 12:48)
With all of these, what hasbecome of the Thomasian Scholar?Who is the Thomasian Scholar? Unlikewhat the world has been used to, this
question is in no need of animmediate answer. In fact, it mightnot even demand for one. What itsimply asks is for us to reflect. Think.Search.
In all things we do, purposeand meaning precede the actualdeed. The movement for what is justand ultimately good does not seemagnitude nor count frequency; itonly discerns sincerity and passion.
It isnt too much for us to giveback and pay forward. We pursue ourown careers and fight our ownbattles, but is it too much to fight forothers and to pursue for them? WhatIm trying to say is that much havebeen done for us, shouldnt we dosomething in return?
After reading this, the fact ismost of us will go back to our ownlittle spiral of much; so, I leave youwith the 10-2 sentence that hasrecurred to me even in spirallingtimes: If it is to be, it is up to me.

vote, one must simply shade the ovalbeside their candidates names.
Poll automation aims to have a
more convenient way of counting votes
to get faster election results. It also aims
to get rid of election dilemmas such as
vote-buying, ballot snatching, and flying
voters. The old ballot boxes of the old
system will be abandoned in exchange of
the new ones- the PCOS.
The PCOS
The new system of election will
use the PCOS or Precinct Count Optical
Scanner. Attached under it is a ballot box. There will be one PCOS unit per
clustered precinct. This machine is made
to count votes and takes a digital capture
of the image (the ballots) and records it
in a camera. The ballot box to be used
would actually be transparent. Invalid
ballots, which may be duplicated, photo-
copied, or simply ballots not meant for it
would be detected by the machine.
FAQs
What if there are printing problems?
There would be an election
management system which is responsi- ble for the proper alignment of the bal-
lots.
How about hacking?
Hacking is only possible if you
have access on the system. The ma-
chines are protected from unauthorized
access for they are sealed and guarded.
Moreover, hackers will run short of time
to hack the system for it will take count-
less codes to break for one precinct.
Also, the machine will be offline the
whole election day. It will only be online
for two minutes, during the transmissiontime.
Internal hacking?
The system is not dependent on
the COMELEC. Besides, electronic
count could always be verified since the
ballots are inside.
What if the machine fails?
There will be a replacement
protocol within two hours anywhere in
the country. If ever the machine fails,
there would be no failure of elections,
only failure of automation.
Indifference was the greatest
crime of all, our very own Assoc. Prof.
Cristina M. Castro-Cabral pointed out in
her opening remarks for the event.
Assoc. Prof. Cabral stated that schools
should not isolate themselves in the hap-
penings outside the campuses; ratherstudents must be involved in the occur-
rences in the community and in the na-
tion as a whole. In line with this, UST
endeavors to make the coming elections
significant to each of the students of the
University, as well as build up a fertile
ground for a conscious youth involve-
ment. With profound discernment
among the youth and student leaders, we
could surely make the Philippines a bet-
ter place.
Indeed, a small difference can
make a big change. It is in our hands, itis now our generations turn, to change
the old system. Our role in the auto-
mated electoral system is not only to
guard our votes, but most importantly, to
inform ourselves and others, and to be
involved. We could do this through reg-
istration and through voting because
these are the only ways for us to make a
difference. As what Mr. Bueva said,
The automated electoral system will be
successful if we make it work. Let us be
aware and remain vigilant.
In line with the upcoming elec-tions and the Universitys desire to
strengthen student awareness on auto-
mated electoral process, the UST
COMELEC, together with the UST
Election Advocacy Committee had a
demonstration of the poll automation to
the event entitled BoTo: BoTong
Tomasino held last Sept 25, 2009 at the
UST Seminary Gym.
Invited to speak about the ad-
vantages and to give light to the process
of automated elections were Mr. Ric
Bueva, an Ateneo law student and mem-
ber of the advocacy committee for
LENTE (Legal Network for Truthful
Elections); Mr. James Arthur Jimenez,
Comelec spokesperson, education and
information director; and Mr. Miguel
Avila, technical support manager of
Smartmatic/TIM.
Manual vs. Automated
Meanwhile, Mr. Jimenez com-
pared and contrasted between the old
and new systems of elections. In the old
or manual system of elections, the ballot
was a long strip of paper which has the
names of positions to be voted. To vote,
one must write the names of the candi-
dates beside their intended positions.
However in this kind of system, voter
intent is not understood clearly. On the
other hand, the new system or the auto-
mated election gives importance to voter
intent for the new ballots would contain
pre-printed names of the candidates with
ovals faced opposite their names. To

Unti-unting pinahihina ng tindi ng init
ng panahon ang sistema ng aking katawan.
Dahan-dahan nitong sinusunog ang resis-
tensiya sa sakit. Kaya naman ako ngayon
ay inuubo, laging sinisipon, at payat na
payat.
Idagdag mo pa riyan ang mga proble-
mang nagpabagsak ng tuluyan sa dati kong
nakatindig na pangangatawan. Problema.
Init. Sakit. Hindi ko na alam kung paanopa makababawi. Hindi na ako makababan-
gong muli, ang sabi ko sa aking sarili. Unti
-unti na akong natutuyot at nawawalan ng
buhay.
Hanggang sa naalala ko ang kuwento
ng aking namayapang lola.
Noong nabubuhay pa siya,sinabi niya
sa akin na ang lahat ng buhay sa mundo ay
magkakaugnay, na ang isa ay hindi ma-
bubuhay kung wala ang iba. Sinabi niya sa
akin na ang bawat bagay na may buhay ay
dapat kong respetuhin upang respetuhin
din nila ako. Sinabi niya na ang kalikasan
ay may puso at kaluluwang marunongmakinig at makiramdam. Ang kanyang
dugo ay nananalaytay sa mga puno at hala-
mang nakikita natin sa paligid. Ang init ng
kanyang buhay ay mararamdaman sa lupa,
mga bato, at umaagos na tubig. Ang kan-
yang hininga ay madarama sa hanging
nilalanghap, at ang kanyang damdamit
saloobin ay maririnig sa kasaganaan o
delubyong nangyayari sa paligid.
Sinabi ng lola ko na dahil nga ang lahat
ay magkakaugnay, maari nating kausapin
ang kalikasan at makipag-ugnayan sa
kanya. Maaari niya tayong tulungan sa
ating mga karamdaman at bigyamg-liwanag sa ating mga problema. Sinabi
niya na maaaring makahingi ng tulong sa
kalikasan. Noong una ay nalilito pa ako sa
sinasabi niyang iyon. Papaanong ma-
kikinig ang kalikasan? Hindi naman siya
katulad ng tao na may tenga, bibig, o kata-
wan. Wala siyang hugis at porma. Kung
meron man, siya kaya ay isang diwata?
Saan ko siya makikita? Matagal kong pi-
nagnilayan ang kasagutan sa mga tanong
na iyan. Hanggang sa isang araw, matapos
Amidst various indications of
industrialization prevalent in oursociety, we students must be able
put environment as our foremost
concern. Treeless forests, im- proper segregation, and garbage
along the streets & riverbanks, all
add up to the causes of unhealthy
environment we all live in. Allthese things are taken for granted
and most of us neglect to see the
fact that they have been terribly
affecting our ecosystem. And theresults? Flood. Diseases. Death.
So how could we promote a
healthier environment? As stu-dents, most importantly as schol-
ars, we must uphold a proper
mindset- gearing towards thegoals that would contribute for
the common good. If we think of
having a healthy environment as a
healthy investment, would weever think twice in doing the right
thing?
Once we have invested ourknowledge, time and effort in
protecting and developing the
natural resources, positive
returns of investments wouldsimply come:
1. Health
Planting more trees
would help remove the gaseous
air pollutants. Cleaner air could
mean us being safer from vari-
ous types of diseases like
Asthma, COPD (Chronic Ob-
structive Pulmonary Disease),
Cystic Fibrosis, etc. Moreover,
we could also avoid water-
borne health problems and
chemical contaminations.
The Env i ronment i s our I nvestment AYANA THERESE B. DE MESA
2. Homes
Thousands lost theirhomes during the recent storms
and floods, but if we practice
proper disposal of trash, then
we would surely avoid blocked
drainages and passageways of
water systems; if we go green
and plant, water would be ab-
sorbed by the trees; thus, there
would be less flood and nobody
would lose their homes due toflooding.
3. Loved Ones
Not only that we were
able to protect ourselves but
also protect our family and
friends from the possible conse-
quences of an unhealthy envi-
ronment.
4. Studies
For students, the atmos-
phere that would be more con-
ducive for studying would be
that which has a better ambi-
ence- fresher air and cleaner
milieu, in contrast to the envi-
ronment crammed with pollu-
tion.
Various ways on how to deal
with pollution have been taught tostudents, we however lack moti-
vation to go on with the chal-
lenge. But if we have the percep-
tion of environment as a lifelonginvestment, then we would have a
more positive response to the en-
vironmental problems.

ang mga taon ng pag-iisip at pagtatagpi-tagpi ng mga iyon ay na-
tagpuan ko ang kalikasan sa tunay niyang porma at natutunan si-
yang kausapin at pakinggan. Marahil sa sobrang dami ng aking
iniisip na problema kung kayat nakalimutan ko nang nariyan nga
pala siya. At ngayon, muli ko siyang kakausapin upang solusyonan
ang unti-unting pagkawala ng aking buhay.
Nagawa ko na at nadarama kong pinakinggan niya ako. Angbuhay na dating tigang na ay muling nabubuhay tulad ng mga da-
hon sa tagsibol.
Alam kong tulad ko, ikaw ay unti-unti na ring nawawalan ng
buhay. Kung hindi man, alam ko na darating ang panahong maiisip
mo kung gaano kahalaga ang kalikasan at di maiiwasang kakailan-
ganin mo rin siyang kausapin at pakinggan. Hindi pa naman huli
ang lahat upang makipag-usap sa kanya. Yun nga lang, hindi ko
sasabihin sa iyo kung paano iyon ginagawa. Hahayaan ko na tulad
ko, ikaw ang makatuklas kung paanong makahihiling sa kalikasan
nang hindi siya naaagrabyado. Marahil kasi ay kung ibibigay ko sa
iyo ang lahat ng aking nalalaman ay mailto ka lang din at hindi mo
maintindihan. Kung gusto mo ng panibagong lakas at buhay mula
sa kalikasan, tandaan mo lamang ang sinabi ng aking lola. Ang
lahat ay magkakaugnay. Respetuhin ang lahat ng bagay na maybuhay upang respetuhin ka rin nila at tulungan sa oras ng pangan-
gailangan.
Malalaman mo. Makiramdam ka lang. Makiugnay ka lang.
Return to a land called Paraiso, a place where a dying riverends. No birds dare fly over Paraiso. No space allows them to en-dure, the smoke that screens the air, the grass that's never there.And if I could see a single bird what a joy!These are the fewstarting lines from the Ryan Cayabyab song called,Paraiso, and is originally sung by the group SmokeyMountain. Paraiso was the very first song I composedfor the group Smokey Mountain. This is the very themesong of that group named after what used to be a gar-bage dump in Tondo, a quote from one of his inter-views for Gawad Kalinga.
The lyrics speak of juxtaposition between the envi-ronmental condition situated in the midst of the garbagedumpsite, and the paradise that the poetic persona isthinking of. A great vague impression of irony is ex-pressed in the song! The young scavenger considers thatthe kind of land where he lives in and where he gets hissource of food for survival, despite of environmentalabuses, is still a paradise.
From this paraiso, he is seeking some help to makea stand to be understood, though he is very much deter-mined that his land will someday achieve understandingand some reverence from the rest of the world. As he
wishes for some birds to appear in the sky, he is hopingto be like them. He wants to fly as birds do, becausebirds give him encouragement to dream, and hopes tostill live with pride and dignity. As reflected from thelines, Paraiso, help me make a stand. Paraiso, take me by thehand. Paraiso, make the world understand. That if I could see asingle bird, what a joy! This tired and hungry land could expectsome truth and hope and respect from the rest of the world. Mr. Cadded it is an inspirational song that I had dedicated notonly to marginalized folks but especially to young peoplewho have hopes and dreams of a better future.
Truly, the song moved many of us. And this con-
tinuously instigates many people, as it is used as thetheme song for the Ilog Pasigs rehabilitation advocacy.Paraiso, as a song of hope and inspiration, is softly whis-pering in our hearts, and perhaps, in our souls to dosome changesto keep our Mother Nature a paradise oflife, and more importantly, to stop our wrong and unfairdoings which deteriorate, destroy, and make Her re-sources extinct great changes that may bring greattransformations for the betterment of some of the Filipi-nos way of living today and tomorrow.

To help scholars transcend beforefacing realitys battlefield, Becarios de
Santo Tomas (BeST) tried to bring out the
best in each Thomasian scholar through thecareer seminar entitled, Transcend:
Reinventing the Professionalism theThomasian Way held last February 21,
2010 at the AMV-College of Accountancy
Multi-purpose Hall.
Attended by 3rd-5th year scholarsin their corporate attire, the seminar started
with an opening song, Go the Distance,
played on violin, followed by an opening
prayer, and then opening remarks from the
organizations VP for Internal Affairs.
Six speakers were invited to share their
knowledge on how to be the best on the jobinterview. The first speaker was Mr.
Immanuel Jay Avelino, a journalismgraduate from UST and currently the
Human Resource Manager of JobsDB
Philippines. According to him, a job
applicant should think that he (applicant) is
the best person for the job. To add
confidence to this personal mantra, he
shared tips on how to properly answer
interview questions and gave the frequentlyasked questions in an interview.
The next three speakers were Mr.
Dennis Arapeles, Ms. Orange Erazo and
Prof. Van Ang. They were placed in an open
forum where they answered the common
dilemmas faced by fresh graduates and on-the-job trainees applying for a job. To
summarize their discussion, the forum was
entirely about the six essential steps to job
search process. They said that it is essential
to remember the equation: STRENGTH=Competence + Comfortability to be
successful and confident.
Meanwhile, Mr. Benjamin Jarrod
Reodica of the Human Resource
Department of San Miguel Corporatontaught the scholars how they would
effectively sell themselves to employers
through giving their resume. Mr. Reodica
shared the five essentials of resume writing.
He discussed the difference between aresume and curriculum vitae and gave the
different types of resume. According to him,
a resume must be clean and brief (1-2pages)and must have a prominent career objective.
The last speaker was MaamLalaine Lachica, guidance counselor from
the Faculty of Arts and Letters. She tackled
about power dressing and gave guidelines
on how men and women should dress in theworkplace. According to her, applicants
should dress for the position they want to be
in and that they should stick to conservative.
After the talks, a workshop was
conducted to see if the participants learned
from the tips given by the speakers and also
to check the details that need to beimproved. The speakers were stationed at
different places in the AMVs multi-purpose
hall, where they had mock interview with
the scholars.The seminar ended with the
closing remarks of our new CSC President
and co-scholar, Leandro Santos II, which is
about how our Thomasian three Cs helps us
achieve success the Thomasian way.
Be Brave Enough. A mock interview weredone during the Career Seminar to test the
guts and wits of Thomasian Scholars beforefacing the harsh world of professionals.
