Teaching for a Living

This School Year 2014-2015 is a blast both for my personal life and professional career. My professional career has been nostalgic in the sense that I was able to gauge a lot of professional growth, advancement, and development as a teacher. Likewise, my personal life has been melancholic for it was blurred with a lot of challenges, especially in my family, that stricken and shaken my principle and stability in life. Though a lot of opportunities in my professional career had brought tremendous successes, I felt half-empty. I know there are areas that I neglected doing or taking care of. When I reflect on it, it’s the same story last year. It is quite alarming for me: I know I have and I should do something about it. For it seems that I was not able to strengthen my weaknesses. These weaknesses had brought backlashes in my career. Such incidences also affect my colleagues and I felt culprit on doing such mistakes for I know at some point, some of these mistakes are truly unforgivabl...

The Penitence or Penitensiya in Filipino is a tradition observed and participated by Filipino catholic-devotees, commonly executed by men, in portraying and exemplifying the hardships and sufferings of Jesus in His last days. This is typically done during the Lenten season, where men carried cross slashed their back, and even made themselves crucified. To some, such practice is impractical and non-sense, but to the people doing and keeping the practice for the forgiveness of their sins and for the grant of their wishes, such an act is worth doing for. Jesus served as the greatest teacher for Christians around the world. Like what Jesus did, teachers envision to follow His footsteps in spreading learning, truth, peace, justice, and God’s words to mankind. Like Him, teachers also experienced hardships and sufferings in this world. But since teaching is a noble profession, these hardships and sufferings are viewed by teachers as sacrifices that they must and should do for every le...

Laksang-hirap at pagod ang binuno  Upang tamis ng tagumpay ngayo'y makatagpo Sa medalya't sertipikong tatanggapin Dasal ng magulang, Diyos ay dininggin Ano'ng galak ng puso ang makakantam Sa lahat ng pagsubok ay may nasumpungan Na gantimpala't pampatid sa hirap ng pag-aaral Na pamalit sa isipang minsan di'y napapagal O, kay sarap makamit ang prutas ng tagumpay Na magpupunla muli ng simbuyong magsumikhay Mangarap, magnais na buhay mabago Tumuklas ng bagong landasing matutungo Kung ang bawat pagkilala at bagong ani Ito ang binhi na magpupunla ng pintakasi Na magpursiging maabot ang pangarap Na magpatuloy sa pag-abot ng alapaap

As we witnessed the rapid innovation of our time, man’s activities toward technological advancement and industrialization threaten the earth’s capacity to sustain mankind. In the advent of technology and fast-pacing human pursuit for development, the earth is facing its fastest deterioration to date which also calls for a bit of concern today. As humans, we always find ways to ease our way of living by using the bountiful natural resources around us which also signals our never-ending abuse and the exploitation of the ecology. Hence, ecological destruction becomes inevitable for mankind as the abuse of Mother Nature has been practicing by humans since time immemorial. Though such abuse has been justified by man’s satisfaction of needs for survival, the act of destroying our sole source of life and living is ecologically immoral. For the past decades, the earth has been experiencing the drastic changes in its extremities caused by global warming which is now threatening climat...

Edukasyo’y makulay, interesante’t mahusay Lundayan ng pundasyong matibay Sibulan ng lahing marangal at dakila Hulmahan ng pantas na tinitingala. Karunungan dito’y di napaparam Hatid nito’y ‘sang laksang kaalaman Siksik, liglig, at umaapaw nang lubusan Walang humpay sa paghubog ng kaalaraan. Pandayan nang isip ay mamulat Sa katotohanang sadyang panlahat Susi sa kamangmangang sadlak Bumangon sa buhay na payak. Haplos ng kalinanga’y ramdam Pagkain sa isipang sa kamuwangan ay kalam Gabay sa landasing tinatahak Sa kalantaran sa mundo’y laksa ang galak. Hindi kung sino-sino o ano-ano Edukasyong hindi humuhusga ng palalo Dinidiligan nito ang puno nang bunga’y masagana Hinihintay mahinog bago pitasin at makuha. Ito ang ipinunlang maaani Sa sipag at tiyaga, buhay ay maitatangi Sa kilos at gawa, dangal ay maitatanghal Edukasyo’y impormasyong bumubukal. Edukado’y kilala sa gawa ‘Di sa bulalas ng kanyang dila Kaisipa’y realidad ang n...
