Our Last week at the Ateneo school of Government. The shell project was assigned to me. I was so pressured because I will be the documenter for this project. Here are some of my output.
Session 1: Leadership in Public Service: Understanding and Cultivating Effective Barangay Leadership
Resource Person: Mr. Hector Villegas, Faculty, Executive Education Program, ASoG
Mr Villegas started the session by asking the participants to arrange their chairs and tables to a specified position in 20 seconds. The activity was carried out to explain that leaders should have a common understanding in order to achieve a common goal. In 20 seconds all the participants have their chairs and tables arranged. The activity gave measure how the participants perceive and understand their goal, even with simply arranging their seats and tables.
He then discussed that there are different aspects of leadership. He said that leadership is a personal power to influence life. Being a leader, you must also learn self-mastery and personal maturity. The view that a leader must be willing to work with other people has also been pointed out. Mr. Villegas emphasized that one of the practice leaders should execute is finding a higher common purpose.
Mr. Villegas elaborated that leadership competencies cannot be acquired in a few training sessions or in a single training course, but only as a result of a long range development process over a number of years. He also added that leadership is an effort to influence change.
Having a background in Psychology, Mr. Villegas continued the session with explaining that no single trait has been found which separate leaders from non-leaders; nonetheless, leaders usually have more drive and determination and probably a greater concentration of positive qualities than non-leaders.
In order to help the participants have a better understanding of what a leader is, he explained collective public interest. He pointed out that public servants have a special duty to protect and promote the collective interest that has been subjected to sustained attack. The collective public interest remains in the form of four values that public servants are required to promote: accountability, legality, integrity and responsiveness.
To further strengthen the foundation of the participants on leadership, Mr. Villegas gave a background on leadership by reviewing the history of the Philippines and its past government structure. He explained that past leadership structure in the country has formed the type of leadership that we have now

This week we were assigned to add inputs on the ILO reserach. The following are some of revision we did for the paper.
Assessing Capacities and Training Needs of LGUs on Local Economic Development (LED): An Assessment of Four Provinces in the Philippines
Background of the Study
The foundation of LED emanates from many academic disciplines. Economics, business administration, public administration, political science, sociology and psychology have all contributed to the study of LED. Various principles amongst the disciplines have merged to form LED as a result. The classical disciplinal foundations from a business development perspective as executed within public spheres has now to contend with virtues of democracy such as public service vis-à-vis the managerialism that has captured the 1990s. Further, under an era of continuing fiscal constraint, the roles of the public servant has expanded and fused to form the corporate functioning in public service organizations (Javier, 2010), particularly, the LGUs in the Philippines.
A person’s perception of LED depends on the target end-result of the implementer. Some LED initiatives are specifically designed to directly help the impoverished sections of the community, while some create support for economic growth in the municipality, city, or province. There are many forms of LED initiatives. It could be a (1) supporting micro enterprises, (2) supporting small business development, (3) skill training, (4) infrastructure development (for encouraging local and foreign businesses to invest), or simply (5) in form of municipal services, such as transportation or education, which support LED (Australia South Africa Local Governance Partnership, n.d.).
In actuality, though LED comes with various forms, it depends on the emergent needs of the community. But one thing common to LED is the proof that success relies on partnerships among public, private, non-government organizations (NGOs), and other stakeholders which work together to impose economic change.
Basically, LGUs have a corporate nature. They build networks with a variety of public and private agencies to strategize, prepare, and apply custom-designed policies to increase the economic interests of the community (Ashbacher, 2005). By definition, networks are structures of interplay among multiple organizations, in which one unit is not merely the formal subordinate of a higher entity. The link between the LGU and its corporate network is held together by forces like exchange relations and coalitions based on common goals.
The White Paper on Local Government (1998) proposes the notion of a “developmental local government.” It says that to be such, local governments must be “committed to working with citizens and groups within the community to find sustainable ways to meet their social, economic and material needs, and improve the quality of their lives.”

These are some of our outputs for the week.
Basing on the IPO+S Model as the framework, since the study assesses the capacities of the LGUs, the identified inputs are various indicators such as (1) stakeholders’ competencies, (2) social protection, (3) gender equality, (4) LED institutions, (5) economic drivers, (6) labor supply & local industries, (7) work environment, and (8) infrastructure support. These will be identified through the triangulation of methodologies.
Stakeholders’ competencies refer to the ability of the various economic actors to perform their specific roles. It refers to the ability of the business enterprises to gain financial return, ability of the young workers to conceive of a productive activity, and ability of the government and non-government agencies to strategize policies in advancing the economic interests of the locality
Social protection pertains to the management and overcoming of situations that unfavorably affect a worker’s well-being. These inputs are those that promote employment, the efficient execution of labor and the safety of workers.
Gender equality is about levelling the playing field for girls and women by ensuring that all gender have equal opportunity to develop their talents (UNICEF, 2008). In the context of LED, it denotes LGU and stakeholders’ initiatives towards increasing women’s participation on production and narrower gaps in wages between men and women workers. According to ILO (2010), there is still a large disparity between the genders regarding employment opportunities.
LED institutions include public-private partnership institutions, research centers, local governments, non-government agencies, and industries that employ human capital. These institutions may design policies for the realization of LED, or may put these policies and programs into effect.
Economic drivers, as defined by the background of the study, are globally competitive industries in which the local government may invest upon as they have a potential for wealth creation within a community. It can be the sector of agriculture, tourism, mining, fisheries, and/or trade, among others. This is in contrast to local industries which pertain to the existing means of wealth generation of a local economy. An economic driver may be a local industry but the latter may not necessarily qualify as an economic driver. On the other hand, labor supply is the amount of time workers allot to an industry at a given real wage rate.
A work environment is composed of sites where workers perform their productive duties. It may also pertain to the well-being of these sites as being conducive places to work. Infrastructure support is the assistance given to services and facilities essential for the local economy to function. They may refer to highways, irrigation, electricity, telecommunications, solid waste facilities, and the like.

This week we were assigned to formulate the instrument of the ILO study to be used in the MAMA sites. This assignment is an honor for us my co interns because the team have trusted us to make the survey instrument. We reviewed our notes in our Quantitative Data Analysis and Quantitative Research Subjects to gear us up on making the instrument. We anchored the instrument to the objectives of the study. The objectives of the study were as follows:
The study will address the general question: what are the training needs on LED of the four provincial LGUs that will engage the youth for employment? More specifically,
1. What are the LED profile of the four provincial LGUs looking at LED from an LGU entrepreneurial leadership, LGU as business-like and LGU economic enterprise?
2. What are the LGU policies, programs and services on LED?
3. What are the business sector opportunities and services for youth employment?
4. What are the barriers and facilitating factors on LED?
5. What are the capacities that need to be developed or improved on LED for youth employment?

Our thesis defense was fast approaching. Our classmates have left us behind by far, and our group needs to finish our paper badly. I am doing two task in one hand and another and this gives me a hard time. This is my third week of internship under ASoG. We were already done with the most critical week of the research proposal...the instrument formulation and revision. Ate Karen Baria and Mr Kazar Arceo have left Manila to go to the MAMA cites doing field research. In the office we were with Ms. Rose Anne Cruz the Exec Ed Program assistant. She was not around for a couple of days because she was assigned in the Dep Ed Policy training in Antipolo. I was there last week helping out with them in the final batch of the trainees. That was one of my perkiest days here in ASoG, we went to MMMLDC, (im not certain if i said it rigth). Ms Manlangit have asked us to revise the desk review she has added additional inputs for the development of the paper. The whole week was focused in the revision of the desk review.

January 13 2011 - January 20 2011
January 12 2011 I got a call from the Ateneo School of Government informing me that I've qualified as one of their interns in the Executive Education Program of the Graduate School. The JVO Executive Education Program trains political leaders, civil servants and corporate managers in ethical governance and sustainable development. The Program was created to continue the efforts of the late Jaime V. Ongpin, a business and government leader from the Ateneo, in fostering cooperation between the private and the public sectors for national development.
The ASoG is accredited by the Civil Service Commission to conduct trainings and seminars especially for the government sector. Since 1997, the JVO Executive Education Program has trained over 1,000 public officials. The Program has also established partnerships with private institutions such as Smart Communications and Ayala Land Inc.
My first week as an intern in ASoG (the acronym for the Ateneo School of Government) was a blast! It was the first time I have set foot at the Ateneo... and it is also a sort of a dream come true to me.... ASoG was my prospect internship cite ever since. Ms. Karen Barria the program training associate (and an alumnus of PUP College of Communication, under the same course as I) gave me an introduction on what ASoG does, what are it ideals and mission in Nation Building. She then provide me with inside scoops of what it is like to be working on the forefront government training and good governance school in the country.
The School's overarching vision is "transforming communities, building a nation". It follows a 'mosaic' approach of
* Helping to build the country community by community, municipality by municipality, city by city, province by province, until the School establishes partnerships with 1,000 local government units (a critical mass of 60 percent of LGUs in the country);
* Linking islands of good governance - an explicit strategy to link effective and ethical leaders throughout the country;
* Stimulating public demand for reform - a 'demand-side' strategy based on experiencing good governance at the local level;
* Encouraging the emergence of new national leaders by training and giving support to promising executives from local governments; and
* Working with national institutions and organizations to promote governance innovations at the national level that can have a direct impact on enabling local governments to create wealth and deliver basic services.
Having the chance to train in this institution is a privilege on my part. Getting a hands on experience on the way ASoG help in Nation Building and community development is surely a one of a kind experience if not something to be proud of.
My first task was adding inputs on the methodology part of the International Labor Organization Research Proposal. Ms Aurma Manlangit the program director was set to provide me with background about the project the moment she arrived to the office from set of trainings Executive Education facilitated for the Department of Education Policy making Training. The assignemnt given to me was quite dense, the methodology part is one of the most crucial part of a research. Somewhat, i also felt he pressure because my first task has this degree of difficulty already, what more in the coming tasks that they will give me....
Overall, my first seven days in ASoG is an eye opener for me. That student days will soon be over and i should prepared my combat gears for the battle of the real world.

dinig mo sana
"KASING LALIM NG KATAHIMIKAN ANG WALANG HANGGAN"
mga salitang patuloy na
nakatarak sa aking bumbunan
alam kong mas niyayakap
ng katahimikan ang ingay ng sigaw
na nakapaloob sa aking mga awit
mga awit ng buhay...
kasama ang kuwerdas ng ligaya
tipa ng pag-asa
at huni ng kabiguan
magkasiping,
patuloy nilang hinahabi ang uyayi na
nagdadarang sa akin sa apoy ng kahinahunan
uyayi na humihila sa akin sa bingit
ng mga talampas
habang kinikiliti ng amihan ang aking mga kalamnan
uyayi na nagpapalasap sa akin
ng sarap ng mabuhay
uyaying walang ibang alam bigkasin
kundi walang hanggang
kawalan
habang nasa isip ka.....

Marahil Meron

Marahil mas
malinaw kanilang mga mata
Wala akong itulak kabigin sa
pagibig na sa akin ay nakapaligid
wala akong ibang alam gawEn
kundi sila’y salubungin
Parang isang napakatinding ipo ipo
na ang dulot ay hindi
alimpuyo
kundi isang umaapaw na
pagsuyo
mas matibay pa ata ako sa hangin
mas kakaiba ata ako sa dilim
mas alam ko yaTa ang ibig sabihin

Wala namang nagiba
ako pa rin ang dating sya
Masaya ako alam

Tsismoso ang Panday (Tsismis ni Rio Alma)
May kwentuha’t nagsasaya,
Mga dakila kay Sarang
Tindahan. Tanong na una:
Ang panday wika’y ano ba?
Heto ang wika ng pantas:
“Opisyal o kumon, tawag
Sa panday ng Filipinas—
Ayon sa nabasang aklat.
May panday oro, may panday
Diwa, panday bakal, bahay,
At kung anu-anong panday
Na dinala sa tanghalan.
Ang taguri’y panday wika
Sa laksa ang talinghaga
Ng makakati ang dilang
Mababaho ang bunganga.
Basang labi’y nanunulay
Ang litanyang lumilinlang
Sa tenga ng kahuntahan.
(Na walang katotohanan.)
May antenang pang-ulinig
Sa lansangan ng paligid,
Ihuhulagway ang ibig
Na ibubuka ng bibig.”

hihinto na si toto sa pag-aararo
hindi daw nya mabubungkal ang espalto
nilinlang sya ng ideya ng payaso
itinarak na kay toto ang palaso
bumalik na si toto sa pag-aararo
patutubuin nya mga palay sa espalto
binulyawan ni toto ang payaso
“kailan hihilom sugat na dulot ng palaso?!”
isang napakalaking kalokohan
(Kinatha ko ang sanaysay, or should I say ang kalokohan na ito habang hinahayaang tumakbo ang orasan at naghihintay ng biyayang maaring bumagsak)
Kung may race lang ng pagiging slow ng utak baka sumali na ako. Di ko mawari bakit nitong mga nakakaraang araw e parang prusisyon ang galaw ng mga neurons sa katawan ko. Wala tuloy magawa ang isip ko kung hindi magisip ng kung anu ano…(kung pag-iisip nga bang matatawag iyon). Sa totoo lang di ko gusto kung paano natatapos ang araw, huli kong naririnig e ang boses ni Tony Gonzaga (tinatapos ko kasi muna ang PBB bago matulog), iniisip kung iniisip din ba ako ni code name Alferos, kinakabahan kung kailan ko nga ba matatapos ang requirement ko sa DevCom (last sem pa kasi dapat to tapos), nagiimagine na sana e mas mahaba na lamang ang oras ng tulog kaysa sa oras na gising ako…..crap, isn’t it?
Kung sisilipin ko ang lagay ng mental health ko sa kasalukuyan, mukhang di ko magugustuhan ang makikita ko. Kinakalawang na nga ata talaga ang bawat sulok at kanto sa loob. Nangangailangan na ng matinding pagtitiktik at paglalangis ang kabuuan nito
(Ayan nagsisimula na namang maubusan ng sasabihen ang utak ko, matapos ko sana to)
Ayoko rin namang mag-imagine, as much as possible I want to keep my mind busy sa mga bagay sa kasalukuyan, I hate it when my mind is trying to walk back to the past or trying to run forward to the future. Ayokong ayoko ang nagplaplano, go with the flow lang ako; kaya nga madalas akong binubulaga ng mga bagay na nangyayari sa paligid ko… no wonder napakanerbyoso ko.
Kapag tengga ang utak ko madalas akong nakakagawa ng mga bagay na di ko dapat ginagawa, isang beses nga dahil sobrang burn out na ang utak ko sa pagiisip sa wala e nasungitan ko sa text ang isa kakilala. Siguro nainggit lang ako dahil napakaactive ng utak nya nung mga oras na iyon, iupdate ba naman kame sa lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay nya; kesyo katatapos lang daw nyang gupitan ng tita nyang bakla, madame syang niluluto para sa undas, pyesta ang undas sa lugar nila, nakikipaginuman sya sa mga tito nya at laseng na sya…
(what the heck, stop it please! yan ang eksaktong binulong ko nung mga panahong naaasar na ako…ayeeeep, ang coño ng dating!)
Pwede bang patanggal muna
ako sa dlist mu tol?
Salamat ah.

Edi sana e may nagawa ang utak ko, nagalit din sana ako. sa pamamagitan sana nya e naging maaksyon at kakaiba ang gabi ko. Meron sanang naiproseso ang utak ko na kaiba sa kadalasang pinapatakbo nito.
(MEAN PEOPLE SUCK! sigurado kong yan ang sasabihin saken ni louis sa oras na mabasa nya to)
Sound tripping, isa rin yan sa mga first aid ko kapag ganito ang pakiramdam ko. Switchfoot sounds ang kadalasang nananalasa sa eardrums ko everytime I feel this way.
Example ng lyrics ng isang kanta nila:
I WISH I HAD WHAT I NEEDED
TO BE ON MY OWN
CAUSE I FEEL SO DEFEATED
AND I’M FEELING ALONE
DIBA? Swak na swak sa moment…parang mas lalo pa nyang dadagdagan ang sakit na nararamdaman mo sa dibdib at ang kabaliwan na pumupupog sa bunbunan mo.
Pero may pambawi naman sila, sa bandang huli ng kanta:
LET ME KNOW THAT YOU NEED ME
LET ME KNOW YOUR TOUCH
LET ME KNOW THAT YOU LOVE ME
LET THAT BE ENOUGH
Yan ang pinakainaabangan kong part sa kanta. Feeling ko lage e rejuvenated ang soul ko kapag yang lyrics na iyan na ang umeere. Parang there’s something within the words that will console your lazy bone. The whole song will transform to a lullaby that brings calmness sa mga emoterong tulad ko.
(Ang Let Me Be Enough ng Switchfoot is as a love song para kay God, nalaman ko lang ito isang lingo matapos ko isulat to. No wonder nagpapagaan sya ng pakiramdam)
Pero may malaking problema…..sira ang speakers ng computer ko. Wala ang Switchfoot at ang mga kanta nila para damayan ako at itolerate ang lahat ng ito. Wala akong magagawa, kailangang tiisen ang sumpong ko; ang pagiging usad pagong ng utak ko sa mga bagay na dapat ay ginagawa ko at pagiging The Flash naman nito sa mga alalahanin na tila anay na pinepeste ang utak ko.
(sabi ko sayo di ko matatapos to ng isang upuan eh, 1:01 am Monday na ata ngayon)
(may naisip na akong idudugtong dito eh, nakakaines, nakalimutan ko)
(kakatapos lang ng conference call with pril niña at louis….nakinig lang ako…once again stagnant na naman ang utak ko)
(habang di ko pa naalala ang dapat na nadugtong ko na sa katatapos lang na talata, boboka muna ako ng kung anu ano)
Paano na nga ba natapos ang araw ko nung sinimulan ko ang kalokohan na to???? Sa pagkakatanda ko sa saliw pa rin ng boses ni Tony Gonzaga, sa pagpikit ko wish ko pa rin na mas mahaba sana ang oras na tulog ako kaysa sa oras na gising ako. Pero syempre hindi rin natupad ang wish na iyon, wala pa rin akong ibang choice kundi paganahin ang utak ko.
Pero alam mo, kung masisipat lamang ng microscope ang commander ng nervous system ko ….sigurado ko na di naman ito huminto sa pagtakbo, di naman talaga nangangalawang ang mga sulok nito, ni wala man lamang bara sa mga ugat na dinadaluyan ng kung anu mang dapat dumaloy dito.. Marahil pinipili lang ng puso ko na huwag maramdaman ang bawat yabag ng utak ko. Pinipili nyang mabingi dahil ayaw nya ng marinig ang bawat hiyaw at bulyaw na mauulanigan mo sa oras na pakinggan mo ng masinsinan ang bawat sinasabi ng nasa loob ng matigas kong ulo. Di pala ang utak ko ang pagod sa pagtakbo, pagod na pala ang puso ko na maging tagasalo, tagasalo ng mga sakit na ikinukubli ng utak sa tuktok ko tuwing babalikan nito ang nakalipas at katatakutan na baka walang kahantungan ang hinaharap.
Sa dami na kasi ng nangyari sa kahapon ay parang ayaw ng iproseso ng utak ko ang bukas. Kaduwagan mang matatawag sa mga panahong gaya nito, isa itong napakalaking kaastigan. Ang dami kong natutunan sa pagpili na talikuran ang hinaharap at wag ng muling lingunin ang nakaraan. Marahil, magaling lang akong estudyante ng buhay, natutunan ko kasing aralin ang masasabi kong isang napakaepektibong metodolohiya sa pagpappanggap, pagpapanggap na lahat ay nasa tama nitong kinalalagyan, kahit wala naman talaga.
It took me 1 long week para matapos ang personal account na ito. Di nangyari ang lahat sa isang araw lang. Isang napakahabang lingo….ang daming naganap. Ang dami kong natutunan sa buhay…..ang sumpong pala na dinadaing ko ang syang magpapakita sa akin ng lunas sa mas malalim na sakit na matagal ko ng kinikimkim. Di pala ako top scorer ng exam sa leksyon na ito ng buhay, pero di ako nanghinayang, dahil dapat nga hindi ko ito kahit kailanman tinangkang aralin pa. Di ko ito nakabisa, napansin na ng mga taong na nasa paligid ko na di na ako ang dating kilala nila na tinatanaw ang kalayuan…di ko na daw namamalasan ang ganda ng araw, hindi ko na rin daw hinahayaang dumadampi sa akin ang ihip ng amihan.
Pinukaw ang isip ko ng mga katagang… I really miss the old you. Para bang naglaho na nga ang dating ako… na sa tingin ko naman ay nagtatago lang sa loob. Aaminin ko pinatulo nito ang mga luha sa aking mga mata. Matagal na ring di dumadampi ang mga luha na minsan ay naging tagadilig ng natutuyo ko ng pag-asa. Para bang bigla kong nakita ang liwanag, parang handa na ulit sa marathon ang ganado ko ng utak.
Hindi naman talaga tumitigil ang utak ko sa pagsulong, tinuloy tuloy nito ang pagtakbo ng palihim malayo sa kaartehan ng nagmamayari nito. Di ko sigurado kung nagstop over nga ba to. Ang alam ko lang minsan sa buhay ko, inakala ko na ang pagbagal sa pagtakbo ng utak na ito ay ang syang magpapabilis sa takbo ng orak ko. Pero hindi pala. Mali pala. Sira tuktok akong talaga. Ngunit isa lang ang sigurado ko….tatapusin ko, tatapusin din ng utak ko, kasama na ng puso ko na kapakner nito ang race ng mga emoterong tulad ko.
(aminin! once in your life…nag-emo ka din)
(ipopost ko ba to sa blog ko…nagrerequest kasi si mharie…sige na nga)

Life Love and Why by Switchfoot
Life and love and why
Child, adult, then die
All of your hoping
And all of your searching
For what?
Ask me for what am I living
Or what gives me strength
That I'm willing to die for
Take away from me
This monstrosity
'Cause my futile thinking's
Not gonna solve nothing tonight
Ask me for what am I living
Or what gives me strength
That I'm willing to die for
Could it be this
Could this be bliss
Could it be all that
I ever had missed
Could it be true
Can life be new
And can I be used
Can I be used
Give me a reason
For life and for death
A reason for drowning
While I hold my breath
Something to laugh at
A reason to cry
With everyone hopeless
And hoping for something
To hope for
Yeah, with something to hope for
COuld it be true
Can life be new
Could it be all that I am
Is in You
Could it be this
Could it be bliss
Can it be You
Can it be You

LFS Lightning Rally last 9/11
Last September 11, 2009, members of the militant group League of the Filipino Students conducted a lightning rally in front of the US Embassy in Manila in protest of the continued US intervention in the Philippines in part of the commemoration of the 32nd founding anniversary of LFS. Terry Ridon, secretary general of LFS said, “The LFS had always been correct when it demanded the expulsion of US troops then, and this was clear proof that the Philippine government merely kowtows to US interests. The same is true until now, with the Visiting Forces Agreement.”
The members of student militant keep on whistle blowing their sentiments that the Visiting Forces Agreement is an integral proof of the continuous puppetry of the Philippines to the US. “The presence of US troops in the Philippines undermines the supposed sovereignty and independence of the country, even more so if that presence is permanent”, Ridon stated.
Ridon also reiterated that the continued implementation of the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) and other unequal treaties with the US has taken away victories of the decade’s worth of Filipino struggle against US intervention such as dismantling of US bases in 1991.
The lightning demonstration happened the same day the divisive September 11 bombing where a series of coordinated suicide attacks upon the United States took place. The US once again is experiencing a buzz, it may be a different plot and setting but an evidently parallel significance.

Tulang hindi ko matapos-tapos
Napatulala ako sa aking palad, napatingin sa likoliko nitong daan.
Pilit pinipiga sa aking bunbunan, ang alaala ng nakalipas.
Ilang beses ko man pilit arukin
Ilang beses ko man tangkaing akyatin
Ang mga Mata ko’y napapatulala pa rin
mata ko’y napapatulala pa rin
Napapatulala pa rin
Tulala pa rin
Tulala, tulala
Nais ng isip ko na kumurap
Ayaw ng puso ko na kumawala
Anu ba ang naroroon sa daan na dati kong tinahak?
Bakit di na magawang umapak ng bago kong sandalyas
Sa mga titig ko na lamang nalalakbay
Ang mga daang dati’y alam ko
Ang mga daang dati’y kabisado ko
Ang mga daang dati’y ari ko
Hanggang sa magunita ko
Anino na lamang pala ang katabi ko
Unti unti ng nanlalabo mga sahig ng pasilyo
Tuluyan ng natakot ang mga paa ko na sumubok
Wala naman akong nadidinig na kabog ng dibdib
Kahit mahamog na sa buong paligid
(to be continued.....)

G-Clef
Sa taingang bingi di magpaparinig.
Sa pusong sarado ito’y magkukubli.
Buksan iyong isip,
puso, damdamin.
damhin ang awit na nakapaligid
madalas na bumibirit sa isip ko
ang mga tanong na minsa’y kay gugulo.
Konektado nga ba ang musikang yakap ko
sa biyahe ng bawat tao sa mundo?
anu ba ang musika ng lansangan?
anu ba ang nagbibigay tono sa daan?
may crescendo at decrescendo din ba sa lakbayin ng buhay?
saan ba matatagpuan G-clef ng paglalakbay?
Mahirap sabihin
Mahirap sagutin
Ang alam ko lang
Ako’y may dapat kantahin
Ngunit?
Paano ko kakantahin,
Paano ko aawitin…
awiting di ko pa kabisado
(makakabisado ko ba ito?)
awiting ako nga ang tono
(di ko naman gamay kung paano)
awiting di ako ang kondoktor
(wala naman akong reklamo).
Awiting titulo lang ang sigurado:
“Lakbayin ng Buhay Ko”
Paglalakbay ay awit
Awit ay paglalakbay
Kailangan lamang marunong kang sumabay.
Sumabay sa tipa at bawat kampay,
ng nag-iisang kondoktor ng buhay
di mahalaga kung alto o soprano
minsa’y nawawala rin sila sa tono
ang mga tenor at baho
marunong din namang masintunado
maaring lumiko ang landas,
maaring lumubak ang daan,
maaring mapaos at mahirapan ng kumanta,
maaring di na maabot notang matataas.
ang mga kasabayang manganganta
di sigurado kung magtatagal
ang mahalaga inyong napagsaluhang
ganda ng musika sa paglalayag
walang masama kung kokopya ng tono
basta’t sabay parin sa kumpas at ritmo
walang masama kung ang liriko’y liko liko
wala namang byaheng diretso
sa pag-abot sa bawat nota ng kanta
huwag hayaan makasapaw sa iba
mas may harmonya ang buhay
kung maglalakbay ng may kasama
ako ang musika.
ako ang tono.
tayo ang orchestra.
tayo ang koro.
di ko man makabisado ng mabilis.
di ko man magamay ng matulin.
ang mga mata ko’y titingin pa rin
sa kumpas ng kondoktor ng lakbayin
Sa pusong sarado ito’y magkukubli.
Buksan iyong isip,
puso, damdamin.
damhin ang awit na nakapaligid
madalas na bumibirit sa isip ko
ang mga tanong na minsa’y kay gugulo.

Hiraya Manawari
Hiraya manawari, so let your dreams come true. All of us have our own dreams…our ambitions, the visions and desires we are holding deep down into our soul. Something that we are silently holding into, something that we believe will come true. A vow to do well...a vow to be somebody. It’s really funny that back in our younger years we were always asked what we want to be when we grow up. I can still remember the pressure, the fright and the excitement one time I answered it with a wide stretched smile and a spider I was playing with on my hand that I want to be a civil engineer. Without the thought that it might not come true that when I grow up I might disappoint not only myself, but everybody else. What’s there was the pride that among my peers I was able to give a two-word well sounding ambition. Maybe because the world was younger and I had everything to lose. I am not yet aware that it is a challenging world out there and a far more challenging world inside. As I grow up seeing the world’s dilemma experiencing a bunch of failures, feeling lost but in the end of the day feeling great and thankful with all the good things that happened, I am proud of myself not because I already have a longer description of my dreams but because I never stop dreaming. Dreaming isn’t just about what, but how. Whatever it is doesn’t matter; how we actualize it will seal the deal. For me dreaming requires five essential factors courage…execution….faith….faith…and faith. We should have the courage to dream. Let the voice of the smaller you never cease to ring on your ear. Let that inner desire overflow into fountain of knowledge. I can remember no law prohibiting anyone to dream. We have the pleasure of having our own constitution of dreams. It is our part to write in all the articles and section of our dream constitution; we are the signatory of all the presidential decrees and resolutions. There comes execution. We can never be able to formulate our dreams unless we actualize it. Actualizing our dreams will bring forth enjoyment, fun, and zest but will entail hard work, failure and pain. Never get bored on learning. It is the small step that will begin a thousand mile. The third, fourth and fifth is faith. It is a matter of believing that with him all things are possible. Seek his guidance. Learn not just facts, theories, assumptions, and laws, but his word as well. God’s knowledge will be a lamp that will light our dungeon of ignorance. Dreaming is believing. Don’t just let yesterday be a wrinkle on our forehead, don’t let it die and get over. Let’s maximize our life. Dream as big us we can. Big things will not happen to little thinkers. Just like what a famous song states, if we don’t dream big what’s the use of dreaming… dreaming is not just a measure of what we can but a measure of what we aim. Hiraya manawari… LET YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!

PUP Gating System Interchanged
Lack of information dissemination about the interchange of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Main Campus gating system, last July 2009, has brought confusion to the students. Michelle Arsenio, Secretary General- Sentral na Konseho ng Mag-aaral, has stated in an interview, “Wala akong natandaang information na ipinakalat para i-announce na pagpapalitin ang entrance at exit.
The PUP administration has admitted that they weren’t able to give the information prior to the implementation of the changes in the university’s gating system. In a statement given by the Director of the University Administrative Service, Atty. Arceli G. Linatoc , she said that because of the big population of PUP, the information is given on the gate.
She has pointed out that the interchange is part of the security measure of the university. Atty. Linatoc reiterated that the planning of the entrance –exit interchange was made to improve the safety of the students.
The Administrative Services Office also stated that it is not only the students who are needed to adapt to the new gating system, the vehicles should also adapt to the changes being implemented by the university to improve the security of the campus.
