Danielle Rose Ticot, 2nd yr. BSIE, weighs through the movement of her competitor during the CAVSCAA Competition, Sept. 25.

University of Perpetual Help System DALTA-Molino (UPHSD-M) Men and Women’s Volleyball Team brought home the championship titles of two consecu-tive sporting events: Cavite School and Colleges Athletic Association (CAVS-CAA) and Southern Luzon College and University Athletic Association (SLC-UAA).

UPHSD-Molino Men’s volleyball team edged University of Perpetual Help GMA Campus during CAVSCAA at the Imus In-stitute of Science and Technology, Oct. 30.

Perpetual GMA on the other hand, did not lose their composure and grabbed the lead during the 3rd set. But Perpetual Mo-lino gave an outstanding performance to clinch the 4th set to end the game.

Carlo Palompo, setter and MVP for CAVSCAA, paved the way for the team with the able support of his teammates Jherald Martinez, utility spiker; Paolo Aloña, team captain; and Fern Alboro, co-captain, who are 3 of the Mythical 5 of the game.

Meanwhile, Women’s Volleyball Team won the 1st runner-up with the game against Perpetual GMA. The Women’s team had a remarkable record winning games almost all this rubber match with GMA, but they lost the battle during the championship.

After a productive stint day of the CAVSCAA, the Men and Women volley-ball team had high hopes during the SLC-UAA Competition.

They were not disappointed when the Women’s Volleyball Team win the cham-pionship title against Brent Internation-al School. With a 3-0 record the women’s team crushed the opponent and gained their best performance.

This year’s MVP Tintin Sto. Domingo headed the game with 2 of the SLCUAA Mythical 5 Aira Tutanes, setter and Kim Ygay, open spiker.

UPHSD-M Men’s Team pulled through a close fight against Colegio San Agustin-Biñan (CSA) losing in 25-21 deficit during the final game at De La Salle University-Lipa.

Palompo and Aloña were nominated as member of Mythical for this SLCUAA.

University of Perpetual Help Moli-no engaged in full partnership with HRInternational Inc. (HRI) in pro-viding students the opportunity to conduct their On-the-job training in an international setting for an en-

riching educational experience. The partnership with HRI started last

year to give the university a new per-spective and insights, and to foster close collaboration and strengthen interna-tional relations between the host country. UPHSD Molino pushed through with its International On-the-Job Programs start-ing last semester of the SY 2015-2016 and continue to pursue international ties with other nations. cont. on page 11

PROGRAMBy Caryl Surio

The University responded to the call for educational reforms in the Philippines to keep up with the world-wide community in producing equally competent students and professionals during the start of SY 2016-2017.

“I would urge to cut the changes in several ways: from the perspective of fa-cilities, of manpower, of programs and activities and also our alignment with the international educational thrusts and with the alignment of interna-tionalization and globalization trends” Rayel said.

The school administrators, faculty members and students are well prepared to cope with the changes brought about by the K-12 transition in the University.

According to Dr. Reno R. Rayel, school director, these developments could be perceived in different aspects.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD & CEO

I would like to welcome our students and faculty members for another challenging but nevertheless gratifying academic year 2016-2017. This year, we

also welcome the first batch of our Senior High School students.

Higher education plays a crucial role in supporting the integration of universities across Southeast Asia. Stu-dent mobility, quality assurance and research clusters were identified as main priorities to harmonize the ASE-AN higher education system encompassing 6,500 higher education institutions. Truly, the face of the Philippine educational system is changing rapidly as the world has become a true global community.

I am very grateful to my dear Perpetualites for your unwavering commitment that reaped many achieve-ments last school year 2015-2016. We were granted the deregulated status by the Commission on Higher Edu-

cation. We have facilitated a successful transition when we faced the confounding K-12 re-forms. With your dedication and perseverance, the university had excelled in academics, research and sports.

Let us make the opening of the school year a “fresh start”, a new beginning- a great oppor-

tunity to set goals for how you want to grow as a student and as a person. Aspire to develop not only intellectually but in all aspects of your life. Finally, aim to march forward and continue to strive toward excellence. Have a great school year ahead.

Mabuhay ka Perpetualite!DR./BGEN ANTONIO LAPERAL TAMAYO, AFP, FPCHA, Ph.D.

32% - Hindi ito porsyento ng palitan ng dolyar, o porsyento ng bonus, hindi lalo ng increase sa sweldo. Porsyento ito na na-kikihati sa pambili ng bigas, gatas, ulam, tubig, inumin, Meralco, Maynilad, upa, pambaon sa eskwela, syempre pamasahe pang araw-araw papasok sa eskwela ng mga anak at papasok sa trabaho. Ito ang porsyentong nagpapahirap lalo sa ating mga kababayang mahihirap ngunit tumu-

tulong sa pagbabayad ng pondo sa pama-halaan para sa pangangailangan ng bansa.

Sa minimum wage na P350, paano ba ito pagkakasyahin upang matustusan ang mga pangangailangan ng isang pam-ilya, samahan pa ng 32% na buwis? Kung titingnan, ito ay kulang na kulang. Kaya naman sa huli, kakailanganing kumapit sa patalim - sa pautangan. Mababaon sa utang hanggang ang suweldo’y maging pambayad utang na lamang.

Ang ating mga manggagawa ay may obli-gasyon na magbigay ng buwis na naaayon sa kanilang kita. Bilang halimbawa, ang P350 na kita ay babawasan pa ng Income Tax na P112 (P350 x 32%). Ang matitira na lamang sa ating masipag na empleyado ay P238.

Why not?Non-board courses can now elevate them-selves from mediocrity to excellence through the base zero grading system. Hence, there will be no “so – so” grades at-tained in a snap of fingers but a great deal of effort towards academic proficiency. Now is the time to run along the level of board courses.

The sudden shift—halfway down the se-mester—causes the student to be forced in doubling their efforts for fear of getting-failing marks. Worst part is, if the student happened to fail on the Prelims, they con-sequently have to triple their efforts in all aspects (from class participation to quiz-zes and major exams) to make up for the discrepancies.

We see that it is for the welfare of the students—for us to start striving to a dif-ferent level. Yet, the only thing that may hinder the process of transition towards higher standards was the imperfect timing of its effectivity. It was the mental unpre-paredness that the students are facing in the course of this path. The disturbance goes with: it is as if going back to Prelims because of all the adjustments they have to take.

But, we also believe that this system is not put up for no reason. One thing to look at on the positive side is the raise of the level bar for all non-board courses. In-

stead of going for mediocrity, the students have to step out of the safe-zone of base-40 system. The result will be equality among the college students in time of recognition for all the hardships of years spent. Pres-ently, what we only have to do is to em-brace the implementations.

It may mean harder for the students, but it is also a means of improving the compe-tence level of the students. Resistance will merely hold us back and will not lead us to change. Only who has the will to do so, will adapt on the base-zero system.

Sapat na ba ito? Oo sasapat ito kung hihinto sa pag-aaral ang kanyang mga anak, hindi na magbabayad pa ng tubig, kuryente at upa. Isang beses na lang siguro sa isang araw kakain ang kumakalam na sikmura. Pero siyempre, hindi ito maaari.

Nagkaroon ng pag-asa ang bayan na mabawasan ang binabayaran nating tax, ngunit hindi ito inaprubahan ni dating Pangulong Noynoy Aquino. Sa kadahilan-ang magreresulta ito sa P30 bilyon kaba-wasan sa pondo ng gobyerno.

Nasaan na ang sinasabi niya noon na “Kayo po ang boss ko”? Bakit sa ginawa nyong desisyon, ang lumalabas ay “Ako ang boss nyo” na kung titingnan ay hin-di sinaalang-alang ang kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan.

Ang pagbaba ng buwis ay magiging da-

hilan sana upang mas malaki ang maiu-wing sweldo ni Juan. Ang paglaki naman ng kaniyang sweldo ay maaaring magpal-aki rin sa kanyang pambili ng kanyang mga pangangailangan. Tataas ang sweldo, tataas rin ang pambili sa mga produktong kinakailangan ng tao.

Sa ganitong paraan, walang mahihira-pan, parehong magbebenepisyo ang mam-amayan at ang gobyerno sa nasabing pag-baba sana ng kaltas sa sweldo. Pero bakit mas pinili ng gobyerno na magbenepisyo ang kaban ng bayan? May porsyento rin kaya ang gobyerno sa porsyento na ating ibinibigay bilang pondo?

Ayokong maghinala, pero sila mismo ang nagbibigay ng dahilan para paghina-laan. Sana lamang ay magamit ng buo ang pondo para sa bayan, maaaring maging

labis ngunit wag sanang kulang dulot ng paggamit sa kasakiman.

Sa pagdating ng bagong administra-syong Duterte, maraming pangakong tumatalakay sa korapsyon at tamang paggamit ng pambansang pondo. May pag-asa nga bang mabigyan ng resolusyon ang isyu ng pananalapi at buwis?

It must be hard to be deprived of what you deserved.

November 18 was the day when Ferdi-nand Marcos was buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (LNMB). Only his family was there and no state funeral was held as announced through the media. Because of this, the issue has gotten to worse due to the ‘sneaky’ way of Marcos’ funeral and the public never stopped on opposing with each other.

President Rodrigo Duterte was the one who re-opened the issue earlier this year expressing his affirmation on the late pres-ident’s burial. He reasoned out: Marcos was a soldier and had been a president of the Philippines. That in fact proved that he has served the country. No one could deny what benefit he brought for the Filipinos during his regime.

Philippines over that time became the main rice producer in Asia, which boost-ed the country’s economy along with many infrastructures he established like the Cul-tural Center of the Philippines (CCP), LRT

and MRTs. He even passed the law for the 13th month pay for the employees. Plus, our technology was advanced during his time. As a result, we reached the “one-of-the-top-ten-richest-country” title.

However, there are few qualifications before someone is to be buried at the

LNMB. According to Republic of Act No.289,

presidents of the Philippines, national heroes, and patriots of the country are to be provided with construction of national pantheon to perpetuate their memory for the inspiration and emulation of this gen-eration and of generations still unborn.

Based on the act, Marcos did not some-how justify the phrase “for the inspiration and emulation of the generations” because of the image he is known today.

On the other hand, another decree supports Marcos’ qualification to LNMB. Paragraph 2 of AFPR G 161 374 entitled Allocation of cemetery plots at the LNMB says that the remains of the following de-

ceased person are qualified and authorized to be interred in the LNMB: Medal of Val-or Awareness; presidents or command-er-in-chief, AFP’ Secretaries of National Defense; AFP Chiefs of Staff; Generals/Flag officers of the AFP; active and re-tired military personnel of the AFP; Vet-erans of the Philippine Revolution 1890, World War 1, World War 2 and recognized guerrillas, government dignitaries, states-men, etc.; former Presidents, Secretaries of Defense, etc. These are the legal basis that has been acknowledged upon. Unfor-tunately, the provisions also contain the not qualified conditions. It includes: per-sonnel who were dishonorably separated/reverted/discharged from the service; and authorized personnel who were convicted by final judgement of the offence involv-ing moral turpitude.

Even though he has accusations from the government and its people, he was never convicted and proven to violate the law. Due to this, he has the right to be bur-ied there.

As some people have said, “Marcos did only what is needed to be done during that time.” It may be one of the justifications about his actions, yet we still should recog-nize what he had developed to the country. Why not look at the positive side of Marcos’ service to the Filipinos? This is the mo-ment for us to move on, not for a few peo-ple but for the whole Filipino Nation.

Philippine has started implementing the K-12 academic program as it is con-sidered to be the best period of learning under basic education; also the recog-nized standard for the students and pro-fessionals globally. However, its bloom in the country is too forced. The De-partment of Education (DepEd) did not thought of it thoroughly enough.

K-12 program is no doubt an efficient academic program. Through this, college graduates will not have a hard time getting jobs abroad. Being part of the Association of South East Asian Nation (ASEAN), Fil-ipinos will be able to compete with other countries recalled of the same curriculum they have. In addition, students will learn to use the language they are familiar with, which is believed to be an efficient way for students to understand the lessons. Senior high school students will also have the basics of the subject courses they will be taking in college. With this the student after graduating in high school will al-ready know what course to take in college which can lessen the number of students shifting from other course. Ever since year 2011, DepEd has been preparing for K-12. The following years, they applied the ‘en-hanced’ curriculum and enacted the K-12 academic program into law. Until 2015, DepEd started getting ready for the imple-mentation of Senior High School (SHS) for S.Y. 2016 – 2017. At last, this year 2016, the showtime began, and by “showtime” I meant the nooks and crannies showing up so much that the educators themselves want the current administration to review the K-12 academic program in the country.

DepEd offered a free education for SHS in public schools and there will be a vouch-er program in place for public junior high school completers as well as ESC benefi-ciaries of private high schools should they choose to take SHS in private institutions. This voucher program enables students to

claim a discount. With the current budget of the Philippine Government for educa-tion of 238.8 billion which is only 2.3% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it is still very low compared to the UN standards which should be 6% of country’s GDP. In conclusion, there’s not much of an assur-ance that DepEd will be able to reimburse the costs incurred by the schools who en-abled voucher system which will surely take time. Without it being reimbursed and without nothing to use to cover the ex-penses, I doubt that the schools will be able to give sufficient services to the students.

Aside from inadequate classrooms and schools offering K-12 curriculum, there

are other things to consider. In every-one’s knowledge there will be two years with no freshmen enrollees in college. Talking about business, schools giving education, whether they like it or not, is a business. And businesses need profit. No enrollees from freshmen within two years will surely drop the school’s profit. So, to continue the inflow of money, they will need to accommodate and accept SHS enrollees and let everyone know they are K-12 ready. Even though it is far from the truth: with the SHS enrollees being half or more that the population of college stu-dents, classrooms cannot be open for all.

With DepEd hiring only 37,000 teachers who are LET passers and Master Degree holders for SHS, most of the professors in the college department are offered to transfer to SHS Department as well as to High School Faculty. As a result, there will be an insufficient number of professors in the college department. In turn to avoid this consequence, schools or universities will be accepting non-LET passers and allow professionals to teach while taking master’s degree. This action makes it a dis-advantage for the students as they pay only

for an unprofessional way of teaching.Surely, the DepEd thought of these

things or they have just realized all of that. But they only want to shove all the extravagant unorganized plans up to the fully packed small contain-er that can’t even handle it all at once.

K-12 academic program is not bad at all. Yes, It may be an additional expense for the parents and guardians but its cur-riculum and goal is great (although it is overstated). Filipinos made it through the top for centuries without such academ-ic program. We’ve been better than any-thing else with the proper environment for learning. Understandably though, “we could be better”, and it is through adapting this academic program. But DepEd’s implementation should know slowly-but-surely what the best action is.

Philippines is not prepared for it, the allotted time for its implementation and preparation is not sufficient. DepEd should

have waited and checked ‘til all the facilities and human resources in all universities/schools are adequate and efficient enough for the growing population of learners without anybody needing to sacrifice their convenience. Preparation is vital in exe-cution. If we are to plan the outcomes, we should let the people absorb it well so we could also have everyone’s help and coop-eration. A convenient learning experience is still better than having the best pro-gram that can’t be implemented properly.

Luzon Philippine Pharmacists Associ-ate (LPPA) Vice President Ms. Jennifer Flores, RPh, L1. B, encouraged students to be a seven-star pharmacists in the fu-ture during the 2nd white coating ceremo-ny with the theme, “Reducing the Global Burden of Disease: Optimizing Pharma-cists’ Contribution” held at the University Chapel, Aug 18.

Flores shared how to be a full-fledged

pharmacist as she imposed that wearing the white coat symbolizes the responsibility and power to change and save people’s lives.

The ceremony started with a thanksgiving mass celebrated by Fr. Jocson. He blessed the white coats to be worn by the students after the homily followed by the processions of students with their parents, guests, dean and faculty.

Dr. Zenaida Sadiwa, Dean of the College of Pharmacy, said during her speech that

white coating ceremony is the participants’ seal of covenant to the future field of phar-macy profession. She also challenged them to deliver their best full quality health care which she explained is possible by recog-nizing one’s strengths and weaknesses.

Meanwhile, Luzon Young Pharmacists Group Vice President Mr. Mark Anthony Langit RPh, MS. Pharm, emphasized on his speech the 3C’s in optimizing the phar-macy profession which he referred as Col-laboration, Communication and Com-mitment. He inculcated to the students that when asked why they chose pharmacy, they should answer with pride and dignity and change the notion of “May pera sa bo-tika” into “May buhay sa botika” in which signifies 3C’s, especially the commitment to their selves, to others, and to patient’s lives.

Roland Anthony Asprec, Faculty and Ad-viser of the College Council reminded his students that their duty is to uphold and uplift the pharmacy profession and the stan-dard it bears, “White coat is not a fashion statement; it’s a symbol of dedication, pas-sion and commitment.” he said.

BS Pharmacy students take their oath during the second White Coating Engagement Ceremony.

“Ang pagbabago ay hindi magsisimula sa student leaders lamang, ang pagbabago ay magsisimula sa ating mga sarili.” Louie John Bayon, the newly-elected SSC president, said during his speech in this year’s Mass Induc-tion held at the New Gymnasium, Aug. 26.

According to Bayon, “ang tunay na Per-petualite ay isang Helper of God at isang world changer. Kaya niyang baguhin ang mali. Let us not let the world change us but instead, let us change the world.”

The leaders of different organizations were challenged to cultivate a culture of excellence in leading their fellow student towards reaching their goals.

“Hindi po madali maging leader…” Dr. Reno R. Rayel School Director, said, “we must not all forget, that we are all not only to lead but also to serve towards excellence in all areas. We cannot achieve excellence if we will not be consistent.“

On the other hand, Police Chief Inspec-tor of the City of Bacoor, Robert Sison Dimapilis, headed the induction of stu-dent leaders and also served as the guest

speaker for this year’s induction.He mentioned the two characteristics of

leaders: enthusiasm for the job and moral and physical integrity, which according to him, will help and guide a leader in facing his responsibilities.

The program ended with a closing remarks from the adviser of the Student Supreme Council. Ms. Sarah Jane Manrique, promised

that the SSC, together with the other student leaders will do their best in doing their re-sponsibilities.

“[kami]…ay nangangako na aming gag-ampanan anumang abot ng aming makakaya ang aming responsibilidad upang aming matugunan ang lahat ng aming gampanin para sa lalong ikauunlad ng ating paman-tasan.”

cont. of MOLINO CAMPUS...As of this semester, the estimated num-

ber of enrollees compared from the pre-vious years is increased for more than 40 percent because of the SHS students.

Due to the additional number, the Uni-versity has to put up facilities and hire new teachers and personnel for the Senior High School Students (SHS).

These most visible parts of development in the campus, as Rayel added, should not only be focused upon. He suggests, “what is more important than that is being in step with the national and international educational trends”.

The K-12 program is competence-based and was built to address standards in which its quality is recognized by the leading authorities, including Advancing

Excellence in Education (AdvancED), College Board, University of California's a-g Subject Requirements, etc.

Philippines is actually the last one in Asia to implement this program and one of the three countries across the world including Angola and Djibouti who are left with 10-year university cycle, as cit-ed on the official website of Department of Education (DepEd).

Meanwhile, on the business side, the offering of the K-12 curriculum of the University (13-year of basic education) gives opportunities to supplement the revenue sources.

Part of the transition is an actual ab-sence of freshmen this year and even sophomores next year. In turn, “if we did not offer SHS, we would not have had a way of actually augmenting that loss in

enrollees,” Rayel said.Voice of the Students

As the K-12 curiculum is offered by limited schools, the University opened its doors to the mass of students in the first year of operation.

Rayel observed that even the old en-rollees have to do some adjustments during the first days of classes. “They are not used with so many students in our campus,” he said.

Rushell Castanos, BSIT talked about ex-periencing one of these changes in college grounds. “Ang dami nila [SHS] sobra. Ta-pos during breaks nila kapag na-timing pa na lalabas ka or papasok, ang hirap maki-pagsabayan. Sobrang dami talaga,” he said.

ALUMNA ABELLANOSA IS MISS TOURISM WORLD

PHILIPPINES – MODEL OF THE WORLD

By Baybielyn Bauti sta

“I am woman who gives significance to my citizenship. Joining Miss Tourism Philippines would serve as my way to perform my duties and responsibili-ties not just a woman, not just a beauty queen, but also a responsible citizen of this country,” this has been Ethel Abella-nosa’s answer at the Q and A portion on “what makes you the strongest candidate to win the Miss Tourism World over the other candidates.”

Wearing her silver-gray sequined modern Filipiniana gown, Abellanosa aced the ques-tion that made her the Model of the World Philippines in Miss Tourism World Philip-pines, May 28 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, Resorts World, Manila.

Though Abellanosa did not bring home the Miss Tourism World PH crown, the Per-petual-Molino alumna still bested to win the title as the Miss Tourism World PH – Model of the World.

“It was a fulfillment”, said Abellanosa. She felt honored to represent Cebu City in the national pageant, the place that holds most of her childhood memories.

According to her, she was also pressured

to represent Cebu since it has produced most of the title-holders in our country.

“At some point, I was pressured but then I realized, ‘if they did it, why can’t I?’

She added, “In every performance that we had, I made sure that I gave my hundred percent and at the same time, enjoy what I am doing. It was indeed a two-month full of excitement and enjoyment.”

Abellanosa stated that her older sister was her inspiration in going to this track.

“I remembered when my older sister com-peted for Miss Intramurals and luckily she won. I watched her from afar and told my-

self, ‘next year, it would be me’ and so I did.”Before joining Miss Tourism World PH,

Abellanosa won in several beauty pageants – Miss Intrams 2012, Miss Tourism Cavite Chapter 2013- 1st runner up, Miss Perper-tualite 2014- 2nd runner up, Miss Tuburan 2014, Sinulog Queen 2015- 1st runner up and Mutya ng PRISAA 2015 representing her alma mater.

When asked what is her message to her fellow Perpetualites, she said: “Life is too short so stop dreaming, go live with your dreams. Show the world who you are as a person and as a true Perpetualite.”

Abellanosa reigns as the Miss Tourism - Model of the world 2016.

As the guest speaker. Private Su-perintendent Forro, former chief of SOCO and a PhD graduate shares his experiences while training on the scene of crime operations.

Then, Dr. Fortunato R. Sagudo, Dean of College of Criminology, discussed the importance of Crime scene and evidence protection. “The protection in crime scene is very important, because we need to preserve the crime scene to avoid what we call contamination. Contam-ination is when other evidence not re-lated to the crime maybe introduced in the crime scene,” Sagudo explained.

He also, shared his thoughts about the held symposium, “The seminar was really a successful one and in fact the presentation was very much ahead than the usual lecture of the subject because the resource person had some real video training of crime scene search, evidence preservation or collection during the crime search and how to protect the crime scene[sic].”

cont. of MOLINO CAMPUS...She explains, “kasi once na may nabagsak

kaming subject, [since] hindi naman ganoon kadali mag-open ng subjects, mas malaki ‘yung chance na maghihintay pa kami ng an-other two years. Para lang matake ulit ‘yung failed subject. Mas lalo lang kaming tatagal grumaduate.”

College students have also thought they have to give way for the SHS while they take classes in the afternoon until night due to the unbalanced number of class rooms and stu-dent population.

“We get our class schedules moved. So, nag-eend ‘yung classes namin tuwing gabi, kaya gabi na rin kami nakakauwi. Tuwing umaga class ng Senior High,” Dayan Angelica Mationg, BSIT said in an interview.

Faculty OpinionThe school staff sees also the dynamics in

K-12 having advantages and disadvantages in the first year at the University.

Ms. Gaunia, faculty member describes the changes.

She said “as part of the College Depart-ment, first thing is the schedule. Kasi [dati] ang schedule may pang-umaga na college students. However, ngayon 2:00pm to 9:00pm na ang schedule ng mga bata.”

“Advantage would be, mas may time akong magprepare in the morning, kasi hapon ung klase. Disadvantage would be, masyado nang gabi,” Gaunia added.

She furthered that the next thing with the adjustments is the number of college students per class.

While the university did not open for an enrollment on 1st year college students, there would only be 2nd year to 4th year students on this year which will also make a smaller group of students in the class.

Admin Hopes and FearsAs the Perpetual Community undergoes

the paradigm shift in its educational pro-gram, the internal aspects of the whole Uni-versity is then shaped through challenges along with it.

Rayel believed that in the task of producing competent, ethical, and moral professionals, we only have to keep focus on the vision and mission of the institution.

“We felt hopeful that we are ready in what-ever changes might come later or what other challenges we might face in the future,” Rayel said.

Although, the school director added that there were fears when they were still prepar-ing for the new curriculum.

He expounded, “sometimes you don’t know how actually something will shape up and you have some reservations about your capabilities and capacity”.

“But in the end, we were positive about how we coped, how we responded and how we harmonized with the changes we have to do and that we have to respond to,” as Dr. Rayel optimistically ended the interview.

Guidance and Counseling Office spear-heads the seminar on distressed student behaviour at the UPHSD-M New Gymna-sium, Aug 25.

Most of the students’ classified the feelings of independence, anticipation and anxiety as the common causes of

distressed behavior. Some cited relation-

ship break-ups, unplanned pregnancy,

identity confusion, perfectionism and

low self-esteem are the reasons why they

are being distressed.

Resource speaker GCO Head Ms. Mi-chelle Ventura, RGC enumerated the three ‘Rs’ of behavior that professors should do to

handle distressed students: Recognize , Respond and Refer that involves observ-ing and identifying; listening with full at-

tention and discussing the observations.Meanwhile, Ms. Jonerizza Gaunia,

Guidance Associate, discusses the steps on academic counselling which refer to students with 3 failing grades in major

and minor subjects. The counselling includes the informa-

tion determination to the deans, indiv id-ual/group counselling, academic coun-selling: the study skills, letter to parents,

letter of notice: and the progress report.

The GCO offers help to professors and

all staff of the university in handling the

emotionally distressed students. Consul-

tation hours are from 8 am to 5 pm week-

days located at the ground floor, main

building in front of the university canteen.

College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) Mo-lino signed the Commitment for Mu-tual Collaboration together with CAS of Las Pinas and Calamba Campuses at the Ernesto Palanca Crisostomo Hall on July 22.

The contract would like to develop and managed joint activities throughout the year as part of the One DALTA System.

It also marks the establishing of ties of friendship and cooperation; promoting mutual understanding, collaboration and exchange; and developing joint activities that will explore research, culture, leader-ship and community extension.

Meanwhile, Dr. Josefina San Miguel, Dean of CAS-Las Pinas, urged the students of “doing everything not in the usual way

but [would still be] within the confines of moral and law” regardless of whether one is an officer or not.

The recent launch of CAS-LP’s Themes-ter and One DALTA System brought the start of exploration to move the liberal arts curriculum in exciting direction. ‘Outside the box’ for this semester’s theme pushes boundaries of knowledge and creativity.

CAS MOL INKS PACT WITH CALAMBA, LP CAMPUS‘THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX’—CAS-LP By Caryl Surio

Student leaders from Perpetual Las Piñas, Molino and Calamba during the CAS Assembly.

Louie John Bayon from the College of Ac-countancy had a close fight for the pres-idency with the other nominee Gabriel Maravillas of College of Arts and Sci-ences.

Earlier this semester, the SSC had con-ducted events like Planning Workshop to inform the newly elected councils of the respective colleges regarding the concept

paper process, duties of the officers and event preparation particularly for the up-coming events like Mass Induction of the Student Leaders to inaugurate the offi-cers and Acquaintance party with theme: Perpschella 2016. In an interview, Bay-on shared his thoughts as the president and his role saying, “Yung presiden-cy, hindi ko iniisip. Basta gawin lang

roles, tulong sa student community. Ayon lang”.

Meanwhile, he stated that in their whole term as the SSC he hopes for only one thing: “Simple lang, ma ensure lang namin na mapanagutan namin ang mot-to namin ngayon na PUSO,” Bayon said.

The student body is now eyeing for their upcoming events like crime pre-vention and gender development. They will also be continuing one of the events started by the former president, HIV Awareness for the next semester.

Eunice Urgelles, the former Student Supreme Council (SSC) president, ex-pects a new flavor to the future out-comes of the newly elected members of the council of this S.Y. 2016 – 2017.

“Working with the SSC this year [S.Y. 2015 - 2016] has been an incredibly re-warding experience and I look forward to seeing what the next student council will be able to add to this position next year,” Urgelles said.

With the statistics showing all through-

out the Philippines, CALABARZON takes

number one spot with the highest rate of

AIDS victims; Cavite being number one

in Region 4-A; and Bacoor being number

one within Cavite. SSC aims to fight the

stigma against people suffering from HIV-

AIDS and to help in the campaign on the

HIV-AIDS Cavite free.Guest Speaker Dr. Michael Angelo Mar-

quez tapped the topics on how AIDS is passed from one carrier to another through biological transmission and blood transfu-sion.

It was emphasized that HIV testing is free for everyone; they just have to visit and make an appointment to government hospitals or in Department of Health Re-search Institute for Tropical Medicine (DOH-RITM) and there are civic organi-

zations like the ‘Red Ribbon’ that helps in the AIDS Awareness Campaign which also serves as its symbol.

He also added the main point of the sem-inar saying, “Iniinbide na namin sa sarili namin yung advocacy kasi ang personal stand ko is mag-pay back naman. Maganda ‘yung ganito ang awareness ng mga study-ante, ‘yung hindi lang within us, puwede ma-share sa kapitbhay yung info na libre ang patest,” he stated.

More than 50 Officers and students from different participating colleges were given trainings and workshops, commu-nity development plus contact expansion during the event.

The seminar was made possible with the Department of Health through its line agen-cy, RITM together with the Commission on Higher Education Region IV-A who helped the SSC.

While discussing the history of law, Cahaya brought the audiences to the past during the times of parliament rulings where laws are already established in lead-ing people.

He also mentioned the teachings of Pla-to saying that most of the reasons behind crime are due to poverty and uneducation

which is also evident in the Philippines. However, Cahaya revealed that Indonesia has a higher rate of crime compared to the Philippines.

In the meantime, UPHSD-M has been involving the school itself to these inter-national affairs to higher the educational standards.

20 years ago, University of Perpetual Help System DALTA Molino (UPHSD-M) was built in the grassy and dense baran-gay along Molino Road. The budding institution offered university-edged education to Caviteño students. Unlike established university in the Philippines during the 90’s, UPHSD Molino Campus had just set its foot on the route of learning and educa-tion.

Beginning is always the hardest part. UPHSD Molino is no exemp-tion as the university paved its journey to the path of quality edu-cation passing through various ac-creditations like PACUCOA since year 2000. Building a school is re-ally a “no joke” due to great efforts demanded to its administrators, educators and staff.

Meanwhile, the education in the Philippines is also running through development because of globalizations involving the infor-mation, technology and cultural ex-change.

UPHSD-M, likewise, aims to get in the track of global competition. That is when the Linkages and International Relations started to make the university’s academic goals possible.

Linkages and International Relations, headed by the school administrators im-mersed the university into different con-ventions in the fields of research, compe-titions and seminars. This endeavor aims to bring the Perpetualite students into the global arena of information and global excellence. Having this in mind, the uni-versity came up with partnerships among academic institutions in Asia and US.

Nagasaki International University in Japan, Rajamangala University of Tech-nology Isan in Thailand, Daegu Health

College in South Ko-rea and Vietnam National

University established partnership agreements with UPHSD-M promoting

information and cultural weaving through student and research exchange.

Also, HRInternational offers On-The-Job Training Programs to students here in the Philippines to US. Chosen students can elevate and widen their perspective not just in education but also their ethni-cal views as they interact with other people of different social and religious outlook.

UPHSD-M is really exerting an enor-mous amount of effort in these undertak-ings. However, students like you who are contented with mediocre grades and (few) friday night outs can be affected with the university’s journey in the course of global competition and academic elevation. Yes, you are greatly affected because:

• As students you are stakeholders who should experience quality services. Aside from facilities, the University has the re-

sponsibility to give you the best educa-tion aligned to global standards.

• “Change is the only constant in this world.” It is exactly correct when it comes

to information. A fact today can be a false tomorrow. Thus, educational up-date and upgrade is extremely essen-tial. Do you want to get outdated in-formation? Of course, you don’t.

• Experience. Globalization is not just about philosophy but modernity in action. Through the help of tech-nology, it is not anymore about what is written and what is said but also how you see it and how it feels to be in the moment. We are not a caveman anymore. Like you, educators would also want to be tech savvy. Thus, it will be easy for them to adapt their teaching styles to your modern learn-ing patterns.

Now that you know what you can get in this University’s course of ac-tion in international partnerships, let us now see how you can take your

part in this passage:• Filipino Character – Being around ex-

change students or those who are chosen to represent the Perpetualite Community to different countries shall not forget to always wear the Filipino Character.

• Enthusiasm towards learning– Why not seize the opportunity and learn some-thing new to the “I Accounts” of for-eign people you may encounter here and abroad?

• Share – you don’t just get all the time. You can also share local knowledge to in-ternational partners and their delegates. It will always be a give and take relationship.

After two decades of enhancement, UP-HSD-Molino is not just a school in the middle of grassy fields in Cavite anymore. It is currently a progressive university in the heart of the Philippines.

Movie Review:

By Dianne Quero

Unravelled conflicts between the state government and the Moros has been prolonged

more than it is expected. There is no doubt, it is still the bill on the shelf.

Some side with the state while others affirm of our Moro brothers. Moro’s demand for

autonomy, is viewed of the masses, only on the lense of the State; their reasons for denying

this demand that will affect other settlers in our country. State’s defense on the topic has been

heard more often that it should’ve been. From the award-winning documentary film makers

of ‘Wala nang Tiempos Muertos’ (No More Dead Season), ‘Pawikan’ (Sea Turtles), Moving

Mountains, Patintero: Living Dangerously, Tawi-Tawi, and Lake Bato, another timely and rel-

evant issue from K.A.K Productions’ newest documentary film, Bangsamoro: The Quest for

Peace in Mindanao directed by Boyette Rimban brings you the unheard side of our Moro

Brothers.

The supposedly Bangsamoro Basic Law

(BBL) was a bill deliberated and passed by

the 16th Congress of the Philippines estab-

lishing a proposed new autonomous politi-

cal entity known as the Bangsamoro Auton-

omous Region. It will replace the current

Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao

(ARMM) that has been created during the

Aquino Administration in order to satisfy

the demand of the Moros without neglect-

ing the needs and conditions of the state

and being unfair to the other Filipinos.

When the Mamasapano Massacre incident

occured, it disturbed the temporary peace

that was acquired when BBL was signed.

The Basic Law would have provided for

the basic structure of government for the

Bangsamoro Autonomous Region. Aside

from that, it could enact the agreements set

forth in the Comprehensive Agreement, a

final peace deal fully fleshing out the terms

of the framework agreement and annexes

on the Bangsamoro. Under the agreement,

the Islamic separatists would turn over

their firearms to a third party, which would

be selected by the rebels and the Philippine

Government.

Let’s Do a Recap

“This one will surely

affect your perspective

to our Moro brothers

as you deeply reflect on

the present great

dilemma that our

country has.”


The MILF had agreed to withdraw its

armed wing, the Bangsamoro Islamic

Armed Forces (BIAF). In return, the gov-

ernment would establish an autonomous

Bangsamoro. Power sharing was a central

point to the autonomy redesign.

The draft of the law was submitted by

President Benigno Aquino III to Congress

leaders on September 10, 2014. A commit-

tee made for reviewing the BBL assigned to

the bill by Philippine House of Represent-

atives and passed its version of the House

Bill 5811, on May 20, 2015. It is now under

interpollation in the house plenary.

In the Philippine Senate, a revised ver-

sion of the BBL, known as the Bangsam-

oro Autonomous Region Law (Senate Bill

2894), was presented on August 11, 2015.

Due to the length and complexity of the

bill, the senate temporarily delayed the pe-

riod of procedures for the bill. In turn, the

bill was shelved. Instead of taking up, it will

be included on the proposed federalism by

the 7th Congress.

On January 25, 2015, three platoons of

the elite Special Action Force (SAF) un-

der the Philippine National Police en-

tered the guerrilla enclave of Tukanalipao,

Mindanao with the goal of detaining two

high-ranking Jemaah Islamiyah-affiliated,

improvised-explosive-device experts, Zu-

lkifli Abdhir (also known as Marwan) and

Abdul Basit Usman.

The SAF troops raided the hut where

they believed Marwan was located. The

man who was allegedly the object of the

manhunt engaged them in a firefight and

was killed. However, the shooting alerted

armed forces in the area. What followed

was a bloody encounter that left 44 SAF, 18

MILF, and 5 BIFF dead.

Supposedly as a result of the negative me-

dia coverage arising from the Mamasapano

incident, the March 2015 survey conducted

by public opinions polling group Pulse Asia

found that 44% of Filipinos were opposed

to the Bangsamoro Basic Law's passage,

with only 22% supporting its passage. Op-

position to the law was strongest among the

poor (45% in Class D, 43% in Class E) and

among those living in Mindanao (62%).

Awareness of the law was high, at 88%.

With the collapse in approval of the bill,

House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte, Jr. ac-

knowledged the prospect what the bill may be.

Like any other documentary films made

by Boyette Rimban, the documentary

doesn’t have any narrators, no director’s

point of view has been shared and touched

any part of the documentary. There were

no signs of biases either.

The film starts off with the old story

of Spaniards coming over the Philippine

Islands. Though even before, the Islam

were catechizing the first Filipino settlers

who were mere pagans back then. The

film shows a great flashback in Philippine

History especially focused for the Moros

which is usually an untouched topic in

history classes even in college. The inter-

viewees are to be considered as the narra-

tors of the film.

The presented videos and pictures

would even make you feel the position and

state of our Moro brothers who desire for

autonomy.

The documentary film is said to be “a

conversation starter” to bring up the side

of the Moros and form an actual national de-

bate which will lead to public opinion re-

garding the case of our brothers.

Considerably a Wildcard-Worth Bill

UPHSD-Molino has GAINED its addition to the Perpetualite Family,

let us welcome them!

Blessed in being part of UPHSD-M she shares

her passions as the new Head of the Guidance and

Counseling Office. “To me, it’s a risk that I’m

willing to take, considering the fact I’m coming out of my comfort zone. I’m willing to trust the magic of new beginning and to know that this opportunity can give way for me to mature.” she said with a smile.

Ventura plans to enforce 3 ‘I’s during her academic year in the university: Improve and enhance existing guidance services as well as the request for manpower and better facilities, Intensify guidance activities to the Perpetualite through the help of the faculty, parents and administration, and Increase student aware-ness of the guidance counselor’s office.

“Most of the time, the Guidance Counselors of the school are usually the underrated, underappreciated. Why? Because they don’t know the role of the said office. This time, I would like them to know that, we are doing something. We exist and we have a role - we’ll create an impact to the students.” She con-cluded.

Ms. Venzon is thrilled to be in UPHSD-M for a reason.

“Siyempre, since Manila ako nagwow-

ork dati, proud ako at masaya dahil

kinikilala ang Perpetualite na isa sa mga pres-

tigious na eskwelahan sa Cavite.” She ad-

mitted, her expression unwavering. “Para

sa akin, na patrabaho ako dito sa Per-

petual dahil prestigious ito sa Cavite at

maganda yung quality of education nito”

The Guidance Counselor describes the academe as

‘competitive’, given that the students work their ear-

nest to compete with other schools. Hectic work sched-

Dr. Sadiwa is an energetic, purpose-driven educa-

tor, pharmacist, mother and a grandmother. She spent the most productive years of her life in education and research. Among her significant contributions to science is her work on essential oils from Philip-pine plants unravelling their nature, and Phy-tochemical research to provide scientific basis in herbal medications.

She believes that her contribution to the college will be a labo-ratory, state of the art equipment, and of course accreditation and licensure examination eventually. “ We are aiming for at least if not 100% we will be on top,” Dr. Sadiwa replied. She is committed to a line of teaching and research that helps to provide a better understanding of the nature of pharmaceutical and social sciences services geared towards quality pharmaceutical services.

She holds various positions in private and government institu-tions in the fields of education, research, publication, academic crediting and lecturing.

As excited as Sir. Jeff is to meet the college

students he is also afraid that he doesn’t

know what to expect, “I don’t know how to

handle college student or does this perform-

ing arts would be an interesting one for them,

right now I am very scared until now there’s only

few members.” Although there are students who

most college students had been influenced by the modern dance,

thinking folk dance does not exist anymore. So, he is expecting

ules, she adds, are the outcome she is ready to face.

“Nakita mo naman, asahan mong marami ka talagang gagaw-

assistance sa estudyante, pati na rin ang research work.”

When asked of her plans for the academic year, Venzon had this

to say: “Ang plano ko is tocontinue my services as counselor to

students and have professional growth.”


Nowadays, people who engage in the fanatical discus-

sion about Japanese animation think that people view it as a way to

distort reality; to escape the fast

–paced undertakings of life it-

self. Countless stories spanning in

the genres of horror, romance, comedy to ecchi capture the hearts

of young and old, from all colors and walks of life. And yet,

what we believe is that these tales exist to tickle our imagination.

The real anime gems out there aren’t just for entertainment. They

give us an odd vibe within, inspire us to say ‘Hey, I’ve felt that before’

and cause us to glimmer in an-

ticipation for what’s next. In

the lingo of present time, they

bust us with ‘the feels’. As such we give you top anime series from

then and now, that are meant to spark emotions for the rest of us:

ANIME FEELERS BY: JEROME GABRIEL AGUILAR

Akihito Kanbara has the looks of an ordinary teen with a pen-chant for glasses (Okay, that’s weird. Who does that?) but he’s not. He’s actually an immortal half human, half Dreamshade (the manifestations of negative human emotions, also known as You-mus). Despite being a hybrid with a violent past, he tries to live a satisfactory human life up until he meets Mirai Kuri-yama – who stabs him with a crimson sword on their first meeting. The girl is actually a surviving member of a clan of Spirit World warriors who use their blood as weapons against You- mus. From that point on, they form a friendship that no matter how unusual it seems, survives all odds and bends in the clash of warriors and spirits alike. A friendship that soon blossoms into something deeper..

Kyoukai no Kanata’s soft background and vivid action scenes are relatable to earlier animes Hyouka and Free – both winning fan favorites. The anime moves from 12 episodes, an OVA, to a two-part movie that gives a beautiful conclusion to the story between Akihito and Mirai. The pair is an example that even if you may find yourself unequal or opposing to one another, there’s one thing that would evidently bind you closer. If you find delight with cute girls duking it out with monsters, coupled with the urge inside to go ‘beyond the boundary’, then this anime is definitely for you.

Kyoukai No Kanata (Beyond the Boundary)

Jintan Yadomi and his five other childhood friends were once inseparable. In their younger years, they formed the group ‘Super Peace Busters’ and did everything in each other’s compa-ny. But when one of them, Meiko “Menma” Honma dies in a tragic accident, the group begins to drift apart. Fast forward to the p r e s e n t , Jintan is now a recluse, playing vid-eo games and avoiding s u m m e r school. An unexpected visitor pays him a visit: the ghost of Menma who re- fuses to leave him alone. She requests him to grant

a wish she had forgotten to pass on to the afterlife. In an effort to resolve the matter, Jintan gathers his estranged friends once again. As the story progresses, the group members reveal long-hidden feelings, discover lost secrets, and as they help Men-ma move on, they themselves move on from their own demons.

AnoHana strikes us in the notion that when we find our-selves dragged by regret in the past, we have to man up and solve it with those who are dearest and nearest to us. The reminiscent animation style of hit series Toradora! and the heart-rendering storyline tugs its viewers to the core. Even with its 11-episode storyline, you would feel that it’s lived up to a very conclusive ending. It’s a sure-fire watch to tear up for.

culture he is afraid that Philippine dances will only be kept in the

books, only to be read without experiencing the richness of the cul-

ture when it is for performed lived.

Sir Jeff believes that Performing Arts is a Collaborative

spective na kukunin ang mata mo. Kailangan din natin makita yung

performance sa mata ng isang teacher, sa mata ng isang administra-

tor, pano? Mamumulat ka ba? Nabobored ka ba?”

The new coordinator plans to re-establish the theatre arts

which existed before he got hired in the University but disappeared

without a trace, “Sa lahat ng performing arts discipline, ito yung

kumpletos rekados”, he said.

Since teaching and performing are his passion, sir Jeff is

undoubtedly enjoying himself especially because he is dealing with

Millenials, “bilang coordinator natutuwa ako kasi nasa panahon

ako na kung saan ang kasalamuha kong kabataan ay mga batang

millennial. Bakit? Kasi sila ay exposed sa internet, nakikita nila yan,

advantage nila yun pero hindi yun natatapos na nakita nila sa pic-

ture. Ang role ko, pagalawin ang nakita nila sa internet.”

Yuuta Togashi went through a phase in life when he suf-

fered a mentality called chuunibyo (eighth-grader syndrome);

a pattern of thought in which one believes he or she is from

a world of fantasy. Donning a black cape and a cold persona,

he imagined himself as a supernatural

character named ‘Dark Flame

Master’. Now in high school,

he only wants to bury his ri-

diculous past and start a

new. Rikka Ta k a n a s h i ,

his newest neigh-

bor appears bearing the

same chuunibyo mentality and

declares knowing his former identity

all too well. Whacky escapades escalate between them, and

Yuuta is soon spiraled into not just delusions, but also love.

Chuunibyo is a delightful piece of anime that would make

you swear it’s an action series left unfinished. It reminds

us that we are all kids inside, waiting to imagine things be-

yond what people can do. Apart from the 1st season, there’s

even a movie and a second season to boot. Trust us. The

graphics and barrels of laughter will make you ache for more.

“A man is by nature a social animal; an individ-ual who is unsocial natural and not accidental is either beneath our notice or more than a human”.

-AristotlePeople are social animals according to the great philosopher,

Aristotle. Today, in the modern era, everyone seeks their exist-

ence in the midst of the jungle made with concrete buildings,

cars and women in high heels. Catching other people’s atten-

tion is the main goal of this competition among “Millennials”.

Livescience.com defined them as the new type of generation

ages 34 and below. Most of them strive for dominance and at-

tention in a very “Millennial” style through the social media.

Yes, it is. The quote from Aristotle is applicable to the reinven-

tion of the world.

It is not just people invented the technology but the technology

also invented a new breed of people. Especially the social media

which gave birth to the social media animals. Social media can

be a different world contains individuals who doesn’t need a real

face but a flowery tongue, a cute profile picture and some witty

fingers capable of typing more than 40 WPM (words per minute).

Most of the millennials are the children of internet and social me-

dia. Who doesn’t have an account in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram

and other social networking sites? According to statista.com, 1.71

billion are the active users all over the world’s population as of this

year. As part of it, we might find ourselves guilty of spending more

than 50 minutes a day on facebook so it’s easy to represent their-

selves in a way different from their genuine self. This ample time for

social media causes them to be more expressive and fearless than

usually they are. The pretention of the virtual self may get intense-

ly different from the real one and may cause a person to feel empty.

Nowadays, man is by nature a social media animal. However, it

calls a challenge to intertwine the man as a social animal and the

man in the social media.

Social Media Jungle

In a world where most of the human population possess su-perhuman abilities called Quirks, Izuku “Deku” Midoriya is like a grain of sand in a sea of salt. Born without any power or ability in particular, he was constantly bullied and looked down upon. Yet he has an infallible dream – to be a hero like his number one idol All Might. And it was one fateful day that he meets All Might and was handpicked to be his successor. Izuku endures months of grueling training and enrolls in Yuuei High, an es-teemed school for would-be heroes. With courage, wit, and nerves of steel, he dives in to his new life, l e a r n i n g how it truly means to be a hero.

“Deku”, the newest addition to the line of anime protago-nists released this summer of 2016, may be scrawny and faint-hearted but his enthusiasm and as-pirations inspire us to be optimistic and never give up on our dreams. BONES, the animation studios behind acclaimed Soul Eater and FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood made a lively ani-mation of its manga series. A colorful palette of odd yet diverse characters and action scenes driven on every episode, as well as the promise of a 2nd season? What’s not to like?

So, what are you waiting for? Get your move and watch. And don’t blame us if you get the sense of ‘bitin’. That’s yours to cri-tique.

Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia)



Unbearable heat from the sun,Sweaty and dirty students lined up,

Students pretending to faint.

An experience most of the Reserve Officers’ Train-ing Corps (ROTC) students went through. Within just a year, spending three hours every week or even more, stu-dents already are complaining. It’s fun but VERY tir-ing…. How much more if it’ll be made 2 years of ROTC?

The ROTC before Republic Act No. 9163 or also known as “National Ser-vice Training Program (NSTP) Act of 2001” (NSTP Law) has a high pos-sibility to be made mandatory again under the Duterte Administration.

The NSTP Law makes ROTC an optional choice for students, because the death of Mark Chua, a student from UST, after exposing the anoma-lies in the University’s ROTC Program. With the ROTC being made mandatory, looming ahead, many students are anxious.

YOU ARE GRAVELY NEEDEDEver since NSTP Law was implemented in 2001, The number

of forces went down drastically because the law gives alternative training program for students other than ROTC, namely: Liter-acy Training Service (LTS) and Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS). They are geared towards community welfare assistance with regards to education, health and recreation while ROTC is only made optional and voluntary upon effectivity. Unfortunately, most of the students choose the latter program rather than ROTC.

Ideally, the country’s reserve force should be 80% more than its active force. Currently, Philippine Army has only 20,000 reserved and 126 active officers.

During an interview with DZMM, Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff for Reservist and Retire Affairs of the Philippine Army Col. Antonio Lastimado stated how few our reserve force is, “Napa-kalaki po ng kakulangan… bulk pong pinanggalingan ng ating reserve force ay ROTC talaga. Kapag bumaba po ang enrolment sa ROTC, wala na po tayong pagkukunan ng reserve,” he said.

“Ang ating reserve force po, they will serve as base for ex-pansion ng ating armed forces, kapag nagkaroon tayo ng emer-gency or giyera, sila ay tatawagan, imo-mobilize po. Then ‘yun na po ang magiging trabaho nila,” Lastimado added.

KEEP THE GLORY WE WERE ONCE KNOWN FORGen. McArthur once said, “Give me ten thousand Filipino soldiers

and I will conquer the world.” Why did he uttered those words?

In April 22, 1951 when Korean war was its peak, there were over 250,000 North Korean and Chinese troops attack-ing United Nations who rushed to defend a 40-milelong frontline including 1400 Filipino soldiers. Facing 40,000 Chinese troops us-ing only rifles, machineguns, mortars, howitzers, two light tanks, a few not working bazookas and without winter clothing, even the

British, Puerto Ricans and Turkish brigade retreated, but the Filipinos remained.

Outnumbered by 40 is to one; the clerks, drivers and cooks also joined the fight, Chinese Army lost 7000 troops while Filipinos only lost 24 soldiers and 26 wounded ones.

“Fighting Filipinos” were even acknowledged by Ma-jor Gen. Robert Soule, Commander of the 3rd US Di-vision as the best allied unit under his command.

At that time, Filipinos weren’t even fighting for their mother-land. How much more if the Fighting Filipino do? The Filipino soldier is known to do more with less. Now they are gearing up, us-ing all the fighting sea and air vessels we have acquired since 2011.

TIME TO LEARN HOW TO ACT FOR MOTHERLANDNow we are afraid of China and other countries trying to con-

quer us and saying we have limited fighting resources. But triumph does not reside on the army with superior technology. It is on the army with more spirit and experience which ROTC could give us.

In an interview with ROTC Department Head of UPHSD-Mo-lino Major Jerson Nepomuceno Napat showed his approval to the possible comeback, “If ever ma-repeal man yan wala namang masamang implikasyon sa mga estudyante. Because today, we need really a mandatory ROTC for us to build a credible reserve for our arm forces in case of an emergency, we can deliver a satisfacto-ry achievement for the Philippine Government. For me, walang disadvantage because ROTC instills patriotism, nationalism to all students and we need patriotism and nationalism in order to be ready and we teach students how to love our country dearly [sic].”

With the right monitoring of the officers, activities and facil-itators of the ROTC and with the cooperation of everyone, the incident in UST could not be repeated again. We are in need of Reserve Forces, we are needed by our motherland. Lets stand for the nation. Let’s not let our frightened heart hold us back. If ROTC is made mandatory again we should wholeheartedly accept it.

PAALAM SAYO MAHAL KOby: Andrei Ibanez

Paano nga ba ako magsisimula ?Noong una kitang nakita

O noong una kung papaano ako sayo natulala?Pero sabi nila di naman daw tumitibok ang mata

Kaya nagulat ako nung sa’yo ay napahanga.

Laging naaninagan ang iyong mukhaMarikit mayumi ikay maganda

Ayan ang pagdidiskubre nilaKaso kahit ikaw ay prinsesa

Syempre marami ka ring problema.

Nakita ko mahal sa iyong maamong mukhaNapakalungkot na para bang gusto mong lumuha

Napapansin ko na gusto mo laging mag-isaKesyo inaaninag mo raw ang isang umaga,Na sana balang araw makalimutan mo siya

Naiinis ako! Bakit ganyan sila?Yung pangarap ng iba binabasura na.

Nasa pagitan na tuloy ako ng kaba at hiya.Yung tipo mo dapat iniingatan ng husto.

Ako? Oo, ako’y tampalasan na gustong makamit ang pag-ibig mo

Una, eto sisimulan ko na.Inabot ko ang aking kamay sabay sabi ng

“Hello bakit ka mag-isa?’’Nginitian mo ko at ako’y nagpakilala

Doon na nagsimula na lagi ka nang masayaLagi kong naririnig nakikita na ika’y tumatawa

Ang buhay ko ay tumitigil ng bahagyaPaghinahawakan ng malambot mong kamay

ang aking kamayYung lagi mong pinapaalala sa’kin na maganda ang buhay

Maganda ang buhay pag kasama kitaTipong handa ko nang pagsamahin ang sipag at tiyaga

Masyado akong umasa sa mga bagay bagayPangalawa na, Itutuloy ko pa ba?

Mukhang nakakahalata ka naNa katulad din ako ng iba

mamahalin ka sabay iiwan kaGanon na ba talaga? tingin mo iniwan ka lang ng isang

tao, kala mo kaming lahat manloloko.Lumayo ang presensya mo

at di na muling kinausap ang tulad ko.

Pangatlo, Di lahat happy endingDi lahat ng tao pagkumakanta may blending

Parang ganto ang bulaklak nalalanta.Ang tao tumatanda. Ang may sakit nanlalata.

Ganoon ako noong sinabi mong “Patawad pero kaibigan lang kita.”

Ginawa ko naman pero kulang pa palaNagsaing naman ako ng lima

pero gutom parin pala siyaSuntok sa pader ng narinig ko

ang bali-balita na kasama mo siyaGusto kong magwala, mag mura nung nakita kita

Kasama mo sya, kasama mo yung taong minsan sa mga mata mo'y nagpaluha

Alam mo, kahit di magkapareho ang tinitibok ng puso nating dalawa, parehas naman tayong tanga.

Tanga ako, kasi umaasa ako na mapapasa’kin ka pa. Tanga ka, kasi binalikan mo pa sya.

Pero di ba ganun naman talaga? magiging tanga ka kasi nagmamahal ka?!

Pero para sa kanya, ang huling masasabi ko: di na ko muling aasa pa sa’yo

Salamat sa mga pag-papasaya mo paalam sa kaibigan kong minahal ko

Paalam sa pagbuo ng pangarap ko sa’yoPaalam sa mga sayang idinulot mo

Wag kang mag-alala wala ng mangungulit sa’yoPaalam sa’yo mahal ko

SAAN KA PA PUPUNTA?by: JOHN FREDERICK MALELANG

Dumaan sa himpapawid,Para bukas maitawid,

Mga panalangin ng naiwan ang maghahatid, luha pigilan magpapakamanhid,

Ulila na sa pamilya,Ulila pa sa pinatunguhang isla,

Uuwi na lang, kaso,Dodoble pa ang mga paso.

Kapag pinilit ko,Hihigit lalo ang ahas na nakapalupot sa ulo,

Bakit nga ba mas piniling magpadagit sa ibong mahiwaga,

Kahit na alam ang kalbaryong kapalit ng kapirasong ginhawa,

Handang makipagpalitan ng kaluluwa sa ginto,Pinagbuksan ng pinto patungong impyerno,

Tila pinabilang ng butil ng buhangin sa disyerto,Hindi madaling kumita dito,

Mas madali pang makakita ng bangkay sa tabi pero wag kang lilingon,

Baka ikaw na ang sumunod,Pinakamabilis na pabalik ang pagtalon

sa ika-sampung palapag,Kaya maraming nagtangkang yakapin ang bitag,

Nasilaw sa dimaipaliwang na sinag,Kaya malamig nang sa bayang ipinangako,

nailatag,Hindi madali kagaya sa inaakala ng nakararami,

Yung ibang mahihina tila may mga sumapi,Yung ibang anghel na tinakwil

ang daming sabi-sabi,Tayo na lang ang may kalahi,

Bakit di pa magkakampi?Tanging malalapitan na lang ay sarili,

Suwerte na makakita ka ng paraiso sa gitna ng disyerto,

Kailangan pang sisirin ang buhanging umaalon,Pero magtitiis ako,

Hindi para sa akin ito, para sa inyo ito,Dito mahirap pero siguradong may kita,

Diyan walang kita siguradong mahirap ka,Kaya magtitiis para may bukas pa,

Di ko masabi baka uwi ko bukas na,Sa tila pulot pukyutan,

Daming bulong-bulungan,Hangad ko lang ay pasalubong,

Wala kang ligtas sa nakatagong mata,Mga palihim na salita,

Bakas sa kanilang mukha,Hindi ako lumipad para makipaglaro sa ulap,Ako’y halos maghukay ng sarili kong libingan,

Pinatunguhan ay kulungan,At hindi kaligayahan,

Ngunit ibabato pa rin ay mga basura,Umaalingasaw na amoy na di kayang amuyin

ng aking tainga,May maibigay ka hindi pa makuntento,

Wala kang maibigay maraming kumento,Sa tuyot na labi,

Halos inumin ang pawis,Walang pinagkaiba ang dito at diyan,

Alipin ka na dito pati ba naman sa sarili mong tahanan,

Bayan ng banyaga at bayan ni Juan,Walang pinagkaiba,Saan ka pa pupunta.Interparallel Lines

by Mary Cris Maputol

Guguhit ako ng mahabang linya pakananGuguhit ulit ako ngunit pakaliwa naman

Nasa tumitingin ang magiging resultaKung daan ba'y magiging isa o dalawa

Manunuod lang ako sa'yong pagpiliTahimik na aasang pareho ang daang ating tatahakin.

Ito ang ballpen.Ikaw ang magdesisyon.

Lagyan mo ng direksyon.Turn right.Turn left.

Straight ahead.

Mr. Renato Agustin Jr. or Sir “Ato” is the new Sports Coordinator of the university. Aiming for improvements among varsity members, he will lead the league of cham-pions among schools in Cavite and CAL-ABARZON.

Sir Ato said, “Of course I’m happy with this opportunity because it’s a good break for me actually and being connected to sports is not new for me actually, I’m in sports since my high school years. I’m also a practitioner of some sports events that’s

why that’s one big reason why I choose education major in physical education. So for me, it’s a good break and I find myself connected a line with this assign-ment”.

In addition, Sir Ato started his pro-fession in sports at the academe for 16 years and almost 11 years of it is serving UPHSD-M. Before he started working at the university, his experiences as a teach-er supplemented his qualifications while he manage the student athletes. The new coordinator also mentioned the develop-ment of programs for the College Sports Department.

As he stated: “I just started June 9, so I’m working some programs that will strengthen the academic sports discipline on athletes. That’s why there’s a strict monitoring in training at saka yung lim-itation in training program. We are also working with the coaches to strengthen ‘yung program that will maximize ‘yung mga benefits ng mga athletes natin and for them to feel ‘yung support ng ating school in those things that we are also doing plans and coordination.”

In that case, he added, “our coaches will

be exposed dun sa mga qualitative trainings

that will help them preparing the athletes

and then the last one that we started last month is yung, proper program that coach-es will use sa talent identification at saka screening process nung athletes.”
