Mahaba at Mahirap na Proseso

 Mahaba at Mahirap na Proseso

 

Ganito ang edukasyon.

 

Ang pagkatuto ay hindi nagaganap sa maghapon at ito ang rason kung bakit may matinding laban na hinaharap hindi lamang ang sangkaguruan kundi ang buong mundo. Sa panahon ng internet, mabilis pa sa COVID-19 virus ang pagkalat ng kasinungalingan. Biktima nito ang lahat ng tao: bata, matanda, may pinag-aralan o wala. Matindi rin ang epekto nito dahil hindi lamang nito binabaluktot ang kaisipan ng tao, pinasasama rin nito ang pag-uugali natin.

 

Napansin mo ba? Kapag may nabasa o napanood ka sa Social Media na salungat sa pinaniniwalaan mo at doon sa alam mong totoo, nagagalit ka. Natural lang naman yon. Pero umabot ka na rin ba sa punto na gusto mong murahin, awayin, o hamunin ng suntukan yung nakapalitan mo ng komento?

 

Napansin mo ba? Na sa kaka-Facebook o TikTok mo, naapektuhan na yung mental health mo. Tapos para solusyunan yon, naisip mong i-unfriend na lang sila. Nakaligtaan mong may iba pang pwedeng gawin, gaya ng i-unfollow sila (para ‘di mo na makita yung mga nakaka-inis na post nila). O di kaya literal na ‘wag na lang sila pansinin at sa halip ay atupagin ‘yung paggawa ng dapat at tama.

 

Napansin mo ba? Na parang masaya ka na kapag napapahiya sila? E syempre, napatunayan mo na tama ka at mali sila eh. Napatunayan mong ikaw yung matalino, may pinag-aralan. At sila, mahina, walang alam, uto-uto.

 

Pero hindi ba, mas dapat tayong malungkot, magnilay, at gumawa ng hakbang para itama ang mali, kesa patulan ang mali? Sabi nga sa lyrics ng kantang “Hindi na Makita” ng bandang Wilabaliw “Patulan mo, lasing, mas lasing ka do'n”

 

Ito ang pinili ko. At sana, sa mga kapwa kong guro, ito rin ang piliin natin. Alam ko. Mahirap. Kahit ako, gusto mangonyat.

 

Pero kesa ubusin ang aking panahon at lakas sa pakikipagtalo sa Social Media, pinili kong gamitin ang aking lakas at kaalaman para ituro ang tama at itama ang mali sa maliit naming komunidad.

 

February 2021 noong magsimula kaming makipag-partner sa PETA (Philippine Educational Theater Association). Pinalabas namin sa FEUCSHS yung Play nila na “Si Juan Tamad, Ang Diablo, at Ang Limang Milyong Boto”. Siniguro namin na hindi lang sila manonood tapos gagawa ng “reaction paper”. Nagsagawa kami ng talkback na ang layunin ay Voter Education. Sinikap namin na ma-encourage ang mga SHS namin na magparehistro at bumoto.

 

Nitong January 2022, nagsagawa naman kami ng Voter Education Summit sa pangunguna ng mga HUMSS Teachers. Reinforcement ito ng mga aral na tinuro ng PETA Play.

 

Nitong April 27 2022, pinalabas naman namin ang isa pang PETA Play, ang “A Game of Trolls”. Same format, merong talkback para prosesuhin ang mga aral ng dula gaya ng kung gaanong ka-makapangyarihan ang trolls sa pagkakalat ng maling impormasyon.

 

Bilang pagtatapos, noong April 29, 2022 ay nagsagawa kami ng Mock Elections at ito na nga yung resulta no’n. Masaya ako na may positibong epekto ang pagtuturo namin ng kasaysayan (kahit walang History subject sa curriculum ng Senior High).

 

Malungkot ba ako na may 12.09% na pumili kay Mr. Marcos? Medyo. Pero sa experience ko bilang teacher, hindi naman talaga mangyayare na 100% ay fully matututunan ng mag-aaral yung lesson sa lahat ng pagkakataon. Gaya ng nabanggit ko sa itaas, mas challenging pa ito ngayon kase may ibang sources of information na ang mga tao at kung hindi susuriin ng maayos, mapapaniwala ka talaga.

 

Para sa akin, ang 12.09% na ito ay room for improvement. Ibig sabihin, yung mga programa namin ay may positibong impact, pero may pwede pang gawin para mas lalong maging epektibo ito.

 

Gusto ko linawin na wala akong ineendorsong kandidato. Sa isang demokrasya, mahalagang ang bawat isa ay magkaroon ng inidibidwal na desisyon sa kung sino ang dapat n’yang iboto. Pero masaya ako sa resulta. Bilang isang teacher, hindi naman pwedeng tutunganga lang tayo habang binabaluktot nila ang ating kamalayan.

 

Maraming mahalagang aral ang itinuro ng Martial Law. Bali-baliktarin man natin ang mga pangyayari, malinaw ang katotohanan: pinagtakpan nito ang pagnanakaw ng mga Marcos at ng mga cronies nila; sinikil nito ang karapatan ng mga tao; at pinatay nito ang mga taong naghayag ng kanilang saloobin laban sa diktadurya.

 

Ito ang dahilan kung bakit natin sinasabing #NeverAgain. Dahil hindi tayo dapat pumayag na muling mangibabaw ang kasamaang minsan na nilang tinanim ng napakalalim sa ating bansa.

 

Sa huli, bilang isang Kristiyano, ang dalangin ko araw-araw ay payapa at malinis na halalan. Naniniwala at nagtitiwala ako sa dakilang plano ng ating Diyos na Buhay at Makapangyarihan sa lahat.

 

Faith and the Weight of the Wait

by: Matthew M. Nepomuceno

Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."

There are four points that I would like to highlight here: (1) confidence, (2) hope, (3) assurance, and (4) we do not see. Faith is about confidence. We can’t say it’s FAITH if it’s mixed up with DOUBT. Faith means you’re confident that what you’re waiting for, what you’re hoping for, will come no matter how bad or how impossible the situation is. Faith is also about hope. These two come in pairs. We can’t say we have faith if we do not hope. We cannot maintain being hopeful if we do not have faith. Those who feel hopeless are those who also start to lose faith.

Finally, Faith also comes with an assurance despite not being able to see. Receiving the item you ordered from an online shop is not about “faith” because you can see it, you can even track its progress using an app’s logistics tracker. Faith is believing that something will happen even if you don’t even know what, where, when, or how.

But faith also comes with a heavy weight: WAITING.

Perhaps one of the most difficult things to do is to wait especially when you’re not sure when or how it will arrive, or, if it will arrive at all. When you order from an online shop, you wait. But you can actually demand as a customer, especially if the seller specified a time when the parcel will arrive. But what if you’re waiting for something that is beyond your control? Something, beyond your means? Like being cured from a disease, getting your dream job, or like what most couples pray for, having a baby.

Kay and I got married in 2014 and from then on, we hoped and waited for a baby. I thought it’s gonna be fast just like what you usually see in movies, but it wasn’t as easy as it seems. My wife has Polycstic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which means she has too many follicles that do not develop into an egg. This is why it’s difficult from some PCOS patients to conceive. You wouldn’t know when the egg will be fertilized because unlike women with regular menstruation, PCOS patients do not menstruate regularly. In the case of my wife, she would have droplets of menstruation perhaps once or twice a year. Unless she takes pills that would “force” her ovaries to produce a viable egg.

For the past four years since our wedding, we have tried many cycles to take meds in high hopes that her ovaries will be triggered or stimulated to produce an egg, to no avail.

The weight of the wait becomes heavier as months and years pass by, especially when you have people around you (relatives, colleagues, etc.) who would ask “When are you going to have a baby?” During the first few years, I didn’t really mind because I know and I am assured that God will give us children. However, it starts to become painful and offending when you see your wife crying randomly asking—

“Do you still love me?”

“Will you stay even if we won’t have children?”

“Can you still wait?”

Waiting is never a fun thing to do. It makes you anxious, doubtful, and worried. These thoughts become the devil’s entry point for more negative ideas and as they become planted deeper and deeper, one starts to lose hope, to stagnate, to falter.

What dreams and aspirations do you have? How long have you been waiting? Praying for it to come or to happen?

Do not let delays or “rejections” keep you away from your faith, from your dreams. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Whether your prayer gets answered with a YES, LATER, or NO, have faith because those who do will discover an even greater blessing ahead of their lives.

*****

Last November 12, 2018, around 5:00 AM, my wife woke me up in a hushed and excited voice. She flashed the pregnancy test on my face and it took me about 10 seconds to realize what she’s saying. I thought it was a dream but there it is, God’s answer to our prayers, in His best time, in His best way.

What surprised me all the more was when she showed to me all the other negative pregnancy tests (she kept over the years) as her tears flow from her eyes. I didn’t know that she has been keeping all those “bad news” since after getting married…

All the pain, all the weight of the wait suddenly disappeared and an immense joy filled our hearts because of the two red lines, no matter how faint the second one was. We kept the great news to ourselves. We kept it even from our families. We waited until our doctor advised us to have the ultrasound. In December 1, 2018, the ultrasound detected our baby’s heartbeat.

God has given us the gift of life, and He has lent to us another life to love and to nurture.

When the weight of the wait becomes heavier, the rate of your faith should be higher. 

Press on! Greater days are ahead of you through God’s grace.

Heneral Luna (mini-critique)

Sa last full show ng Heneral Luna kagabi sa Rob Dasma, may nakatabi kami ni misis na magjowa. Tanong ni lalake, "Si Joven ba si Rizal?" Sasagutin ko sana, pero syempre pointless naman at baka sabihing epal o baliw ako (pinigilan din ako ni misis). Isasagot ko sanang, "Hindi. Ikaw sana si Joven. Pero ikaw nga ba?" Nung una naasar ako, para kasing kapareho ito nung kumalat na tanong kung bakit nakaupo lang si Apolinario Mabini. Totoong nakakaasar, pero sa kabilang banda, mabuti-buti na rin at nagtatanong. Dahil kung walang magtatanong, wala ring sasagot.

Mahusay ang pagkakabuo ng pelikula hindi lamang dahil sa pagbaba ng mga bayani mula sa pedestal (i.e. na tao lang din naman sila gaya natin), kundi dahil sa sining na bumubuo rito.

Isa na ang pagpapakita ng Spoliarium sa eksenang hinihila ang bangkay ni Luna Dito ay napaisip ako sa kwento ng ipininta ni Juan Luna. Noon, inisip kong mga Kastila ang humihila sa mga "spolias" o "spoils of war/gladiator matches. Sa pelikulang ito nakita kong oo nga, Pilipino rin naman ang nagpapatayan sa isa't isa, at kitang kita ito sa panahon ng Social Media--ang magpatayan sa pamamagitan ng wika at komento.

Pangalawa ang huling bahagi kung saan tila ginamit ni Tarrog ang mala-Akutagawa na format sa pagsisiwalat ng aliibi ng mga sangkot sa krimen ay nagpapakita ng sistemang umiiral sa ating hudikatura maging pati na rin sa ating pagkatao. (Note: Kung hindi pa nababasa, basahin ang "In a Grove" ni Ryonosuke Akutagawa upang may mapagkumparahan.)

Pangatlo, gustong gusto ko ang pagtatapos ng pelikula kung saan unti unting nauupos ang bandila habang si Joven naman ay pinapanood ito. Bago pa man maupos ang watawat, tumindig siya at natapos ang pelikula. Dito makikita ang paglalapat ng kongklusyon sa mga kamay ng mga Joven na gaya mo. Panonoorin mo nalamang ba ang Heneral Luna at magpopost sa Facebook na nagandahan at na-astigan ka para makidaloy sa uso? O tatayo ka, buong husay na mag-aaral, buong sipag na magtatrabaho at mag-aambag hindi lamang para sa sarili at sa pamilya, kundi lalong lalo na sa bayang sinisinta?

Nasa mga kamay n'yo ang desisyon, mga Joven, duguan man ito o hindi.

(Note: Ang salitang "Joven" ay Kastilang salita na nangangahulugang "young" o "kabataan")

(Nepomuceno, 2015)

GLENDAZED

*written on July 18, 2014

In the study of Mythology and Folklore, there is such a motif called “birth-rebirth” which is usually presented in literature by sons killing their fathers (e.g. Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon killing their father Kronos in Greek Mythology, Odin killing his father Ymir in Norse Mythology, or Marduk killing the matriarch goddess Mummu-Tiamat in Babylonian Mythology). According to theories, these similarities in the motifs across world literatures embody the collective unconscious of people brought about by similar cosmic, natural, and metaphysical experiences.

One basic lesson that we ought to learn from the birth-rebirth motif is the perpetual changes in seasons. At one point in our lives, we experience devastating storms and other natural catastrophes. Months later, we lavish upon the positive energies (no matter how seemingly excruciating it is) released by the sun.

For many years of our stay here in Silang, Cavite, we have withstood a number of storms. Name all the ‘most powerful’ ones, and we have survived them all as if they’re just regular rains that passed by. For many years, we have enjoyed rainy seasons because it’s a time to sleep, watch rain water flow on the street, and play with paper boats. For many years, it’s a time to sip a cup of coffee, while playing scrabble with my family.

But in all those seasons of birth-rebirth, there isn’t much ‘deaths’ i.e. not much destruction, not much periods of reflection because everything seems ‘normal’.

Until Glenda came and wreaked havoc to the entire province of Cavite. In general, it may still be considered ‘normal’ here in Silang, although her wind power and speed is beyond normal. For three days now, most parts of Cavite are still groping in the dark. This is perhaps the longest brown out in Cavite. My last memory of long brown outs was during the Ramos regime.

Lack of electricity ‘killed’ a lot of things that seemingly bring ‘life’ to people. This made me pause for a while, something I haven’t been doing for a long time now due to my very busy schedule. I realized how Electricity has been fueling up my work and the lives of people around me: from my phones to my computers to our appliances. We have been caught up in the vicious technological web. We have been enslaved by our own quest to ‘making life simpler’—turning our lives more complicated. We have been trapped inside a maze we, humans, created ourselves.

I found myself getting irritable for not being able to connect to the internet and be updated with what’s happening to the world. My father and I, later on, resorted to digging up our antiquated transistor radio to listen to news. Fortunately, it’s still working.

Thus, a rebirth.

Amidst the death of the complicated and entangled technological advancements comes the rebirth of antiquated and seemingly forgotten essentials in life. We suddenly found ourselves eagerly and patiently waiting for updates in the radio.

Patience is reborn.

The internet brainwashed us into thinking that we have everything in control at our fingertips. Technology has turned us into parasites of electricity, something not essential during the ancient times. It has transformed us into ‘petty gods’.

A radio commentator’s repetitive use of the term ‘normalize our lives’ (in relation to her plea for electricity to return) caught my attention: isn’t it funny that we now consider lack of electricity as ‘abnormal’ when in fact our ancestors managed to survive without it? We now come to a point of reflection: which is not normal, the absence of electricity? Or our dependence to it?

Thus, a rebirth.

Why do we all have the desire to ‘control’ everything? Perhaps, it started with the invention of the remote control, and now with the emergence of ‘smartphones’ we seem to control information at our fingertips. Throughout the years, we have struggled our way out of ‘the way’ of nature; we have pretended to be gods despite our natural weakness and powerlessness against nature. (It’s funny how even the Chinese who have introduced the concept of Taoism to the world has forgotten about the Dao.) In reality, though, we are but a speck of dust in the vast environment created by a one true God.

Reality is reborn.

In the perpetual cycle of life, these ‘rebirths’ that we have come to realize today will again die as we find ourselves once again entangled in the worldwide web, when electricity and internet has ‘normalized’ our lives. And when we are once again on that process of ‘dying’, we will, at some point in our lives, once again be reborn…and the cycle continues.

THE STORY OF RICHIE

It was in April 2011 when I first met Richie. My fellow disciple Totoy Famero and I went to Bucal to share the gospel to the young men there. At first, Richie was one of those who would "run away" whenever they see us. Eventually, through God's Grace, Richie sat down and listened; he started opening up and reading the Bible with us. In God's time, Richie yielded to our invitation for him to join the Encounter. His life turned 180 degrees after that. From being 'cursed' due to the vices he had enjoyed (e.g. smoking, drinking, and yes, even drugs) he transformed into a man whose life would become one of Kingdom Ministries' most challenging and motivating testimonies.

Satan's job is to trick us away from the tremendously blessed life that God has designed for each one of us. For seven long years, this worked well with Richie. He was a 'tambay' all throughout; he was a burden not just to his family but also to society as a whole. I must say I was intimidated during those days; I feared being beaten up by their 'gang'. At the back of my prejudicial mind-set, I thought "this guy's hopeless, I'm wasting time" (Later on, God revealed to me that prejudice is also one of the enemy's ways for us to stop sharing the Word. Makes sense right? Start thinking that people are hopeless, later you'll start thinking "why bother sharing if no one's gonna listen?")

Richie is one of my life's greatest achievements, even greater than earning a college and master's degree. He is God's constant reminder to me, "Son, if you stopped, where could his life be now?" He's also a solid proof that when you surrender your life to Christ, greater things shall follow; blessings will overflow.

I wrote this not to brag about myself. I wrote this to encourage you. I'm not so different from you. I've had my share of failures and sins. But you see, when you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, you'll start to realize a lot, a lot which will unleash the spirit of excellence in you.

Don't stop. Don't quit. Tell the world about Jesus!

(Richie has just graduated last Saturday, March 8, 2014 from Working Hands School in Balubad 2nd, a TESDA certified school with a diploma in Auto Mechanic. Graduating isn't the end of God's blessings; it's God's first step towards Greatness!)

Dear Porky,

Kamusta ka na? San ka nga ba nakatira? Alin ba dun sa 30 addresses mo ang tinitigilan mo talaga? Di kasi kita maabutan kapag bumibisita ako sa bahay mo sa Forbes, Ayala, at BGC eh.

Kung ako naman ang iyong tatanungin eh maayos naman kami, sa awa at gabay ng Diyos. May bintana at kisame na ngayon ang bahay namin. Dati kasi sobrang lamig kapag tag-ulan at sobrang init naman kapag tag-init tapos sako naman ang bintana namin.

Kamusta yung mga businesses mo? Mukang malakas ang benta ng mga kaluluwa ngayon ah. Ako naman e ok lang, nagtuturo pa rin ako sa kolehiyo at masaya naman. Medyo nakakapagod lang. Tsaka sa totoo lang e di ko na tinitignan yung payslip ko. Danlake kasi nung kaltas ng buwis eh. Pero ayos lang, para naman yon sa ikauunlad at ikagaganda ng bayan, gaya ng sabi mo, diba?

Uy sya nga pala, two years ago, napa-tiles na rin namin ang sahig namin at napapinturahan na rin ang dingding ng loob ng bahay, after almost 30 years ng pagtira namin dito. Tyaga tyaga at ambagan lang. Pero sa ngayon, wala pa ring palitada yung harapan ng bahay namin at wala paring pintura. Ok lang naman dahil at least e hindi na umuulan sa loob ng bahay di gaya dati. Masaya ang pamilya dahil unti-unti ay nakakaalpas na kami sa kahirapan.

Parang nakita ko yung BMW mo na nakapark sa Casino sa Tagaytay. Alin ba sa 30 na luxury cars mo ang madalas na ginagamit mo? Ay sabagay, kung may 30 cars ka, once a month mo  lang gamitin dahil iba bawat araw. Pero i-start mo rin paminsan minsan ha? Sabi nung tyuhin kong mekaniko, masisira daw kotse pag natulog ng matagal.

Yung dyip ni papa, bulok na pero maayos pa naman. Tumatakbo pa at nakakapagbyahe pa sya ng mga studyante. Salamat sa Diyos at yung dyip na yun ang bumuhay sa pamilya namin. Nakabili din ako ng motor pero hinuhulugan ko pa. Naka-isang taon na ako! Dalawa nalang at akin na talaga yun! Gusto ko na nga sana makabili ng kotse e, pero wala pa kasi akong pang-hulog sa ngayon.

Pasensya ka na nga pala at di ako nakadalo sa pa-party mo nung nakaraang buwan sa Sofitel. E pano kasi nahihiya ako, butas na pala ung swelas ng sapatos ko e baka lamigin ang paa ko. Inaantay ko pa yung sunod na sweldo para makabili ng bagong sapatos. Tsaka diba malakas ang aircon sa mga 5-star na hotel?

Kamusta na pala yung kalusugan mo? Di ka ba naaalta-presyon? Kami ay ok naman. Buti at may napipitas na gulay sa likod-bahay, pang-sahog sa isda. Healthy living kuno, pero ang totoo e nagtitipid lang. Ang mahal naman kasi ng kilo ng baka at baboy ngayon. Pero ok rin, sexy kami. Hahaha!!!

O pano? Hanggang sa muli nating pagkikita. Dadalawin kita…

Nagmamahal,

Boy Tiklis

TEaCH REVIEW: ACER ICONIA W3

I’m not a techblogger, so I may not be able to point out important technical aspects of the Acer Iconia W3, but if you’re a teacher like me, perhaps you’ll find this post helpful.

I first saw Acer Iconia W3 in a technology news (can't remember if it's in Flipboard or other news apps in my phone) that I was reading. It was launched in Computex and it caught my attention particularly because it claims to be a cost efficient hybrid machine (i.e. laptop+tablet). When I read its specifications, I immediately concluded that it will be useful for teaching.

Acer Iconia sports a Windows 8 OS

Aside from sporting a Windows 8 Operating System, what really caught my attention is the bundled Microsoft Office 2013, i.e. it has a Word, Excel, and Powerpoint—three of the most important productivity applications in the teaching profession.

Whenever I tinker with tablets in malls, e.g. iPad Mini and Android tablets, I always find them not so functional because they lack productivity applications. While it is true that you may install free office applications to Android devices, such as Kingsoft, it still doesn’t function the way I expect it to be. Apple, of course, has very good office applications, but they are just so pricey.

To continue, another strong feature of the Iconia is its ability to connect with projectors and other screens through the micro-hdmi port. However, it is just annoying to find out the malls do not sell a Micro-HDMI to VGA cable (I scoured SM North’s Cyberzone to no avail!...oh…and yeah...not even the “powerful” CDR-King has it! Imagine?!). Good thing there’s a Sulit.com seller, and I got the cable for PHP 800 (See pictures below)

Finally, another very impressive feature of the Iconia is its battery life. I start my class at 9:00 AM (one class is equal to 1 ½ hours) and end at 6:00 PM. While it’s not entirely lecture, I also do not need to charge any time of the day (provided that I start the day with a 100% battery life). When my day ends, the Iconia still has an average of 25% battery life!

In conclusion, the Acer Iconia W3 is delivering what it is supposed to deliver. I can present my lectures through it and do some occasional writing as well as other school works, plus of course, recording grades in Excel. It works the way I thought it would. Moreover, it has saved so much space and weight in my backpack!

I wouldn’t be posting the specs of this device as they are available in any other tech website. I’ll just post pictures of how I use it in class to give an idea to other teachers who might be interested to buy it. I’ll also post the link of the Sulit.com vendor who sells the very important Micro-HDMI to VGA cable.

How to Connect the Iconia to an LCD Projector:

1. You'll need a Micro-HDMI to VGA Cable, which is something very difficult to find because stores in malls don't have them. I purchased mine from Mr. Johnny B.

2. This cable will be connected to a regular VGA cable (PHP 50.00 in CD-R KING)

The pictures below show how I use my Iconia in FEU Cavite. Fortunately, all classrooms in FEU has a mounted LCD projectors, so it's really a breeze to use the Iconia for lectures and other teaching activities.

LCD Projectors are mounted in all classrooms of FEU Cavite
