Another Filipinos' Battle Cry (Election Reflection)

Philippine Election Lesson
(With the culture and lifestyle that we have, something fascinates me with the past. I am learning to love history.)

It has been said, "Change is coming!"
I am wondering why the face of P5 coin has been changed.. Pagpaparangal po ba ito sa sinasabing totoong UNANG PANGULO NG PILIPINAS?

Two icons of the past.
The one was called Supremo and the other was El Presidente.

Both with great influence.
The one was a brave 'leader' and the other was treated as an 'idol' by his followers.

Both dreamed for Phillippines' independence.
The one led for Katipunan, a then secret society that ignited the flames of Phillippine revolution against the Spanish empire.
The other was a capable general who waved the Philippine flag and declared the country's independence on June 12, 1898. He later brought Filipinos to Intramuros, just a step way for liberty from colonizers. But at the very moment that he needed to be strong and cunning, he chose to trust the Americans.
And the rest is history!

I know it is unfair to compare.
"The One" and "The Other" has vital roles for what Filipinos are today. Both desired to lead but with different motives and principles. There in *Tejeros Convention, the latter was chosen to be the first president of the known first Republic of the Phillipines.
(*Tejeros Convention - Yung unang halalan daw ng Pilipinas...  at yung unang halalan ng Pilipinas na mayroon nang dayaan! Will history repeat itself?)

Sometimes we are afraid to look ahead.
But by looking back, we should be reminded to look up. Just as in Romans 15:4a of the Bible,
"For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning",
we should have learned lessons from earlier times. As we examine the painful past of our country, we should learn to pray to God for His grace and mercy.

Sana huwag po kasing magpabili ng boto. Natuto na po sana tayo sa mga aral na iniwan ng nakaraan.
Sana wala nang dayaan sa Mayo trese! Isipin po nating mabuti ang kapakanan ng mga susunod pang henerasyon.
THIS IS, I THINK, ANOTHER FILIPINOS' BATTLE CRY.
Please, let us vote wisely!

Proverbs 29:2
"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."

COMMITMENT SPEECH SAMPLE

It was August of last year when my niece asked me to help her making a commitment speech for their induction program. We tried at least to become relevant – August is Buwan ng Wika, so we decided to use most of it in Filipino; she loves Mathematics, so we agreed to use and relate Math as her introduction; she is not actually fluent in English (and she admits that), so she practiced her pagka-maka-bayan kuno! 😁 Below is the full text of her speech and I found it saved on my laptop. ****************************************** Our esteemed Guest speaker, our active School Principal, Faculty and Facilitative Staffs, Fellow Officers, Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen, a pleasant morning to one and all. Hayaan po ninyo akong gumamit ng wikang Filipino bilang bahagi sa pagpapahayag ng aking talumpati sa umagang ito. Ngayong ika-anim na taon ko sa paaralang ito, naisip kong paano kaya kung wikang Filipino ang gamitin sa pagtuturo sa asignaturang Sipnayan a.k.a. ...

Pamana

One historian said, "PAMANA (Heritage) is something that is passed down from one generation to the next. Heritage are also family’s tradition, values, wisdom, principles, and formed experiences that are not static but revolves over time ." This poem is inspired by 1 Thessalonians 1:3. Luma, sira, kinakalawang: Ano bang saysay nito sa kasalukuyan? Piping saksi po ito ng nakaraan, Tanglaw ng pamana sa kinabukasan.   Kung makakapagsalita lamang ang bagay na ito, Tiyak kong marami din itong maikukuwento, Kuwentong dapat mong marinig - Pananampalataya, pag-asa, at pag-ibig.   Hindi lamang ito pangkaraniwang padyak. Sa Diyos ipinalangin at kaniyang iniyak, Kaligtasan ng kapwa inibig niyang matiyak Pati anghel sa langit, labis ang galak!   Ito ang lumang bisikleta ni Ptr.Jhune Cadeliña, Katuwang niya nang HBBC ay nagsimula. Kayamanang maituturing noon pang dekada otsenta, Piping saksi sa maraming kuwentong biyaya.   Walang patid kong ...

Just a Short Message for Incoming Engineering Students

  (I shared this text to someone and I am inspired to put on here, in hopes that it can encourage also somebody.) Study for life, not for grades. When the time comes that you do not hit your aim to have excellent grades, remember that passing or conditional or even failing grades is a norm in Engineering school. Be strong and have a good courage. Extreme pressures come along. And when failure comes, take in mind and in heart that failure is a not a person. Failure is just an event. Most often, a series of events. Enjoy to endure and endure to enjoy. Engineering is enduring and enjoying. (The half has not yet been told in all engineering Fb pages or vlog contents. Discover the wonders for yourself.) Look for seniors or upper class  men whom you can look up to and listen to them. When you do, you will also have a story to tell to younger than you someday. If you cannot find good kuyas and ates , be the trailblazer. Expect the worst but hope for the best! When we say h...
