Phil’s population hits 100m P h i l i p -pines’ population reaches 100 mil-lion last July 27, as various sectors banner this devel-opment as a boon rather than a bur-den on the coun-try’s resources.

Health De-partment Spokes-person, Dr Lyndon Lee-Suy, said the Philippines would mark its milestone 100 million popu-lation by choosing 100 babies born on July 27 to serve as

the “100 Millionth Symbolic Babies.” Accord ing to the National Statistics Office, three babies are born in the Philip-pines every minute. “The sym-bolic 100th million

babies would be chosen from moth-ers who had un-dergone normal delivery,” Lee-Suy said adding that based on estimate, the Philippines will deliver its 100th million baby by 12:06 of July 27.. Dr. Juan Antonio Perez III, executive director of the Philippines’ Populations Com-mission (POPCOM) had said during the recent celebration of World Popula-tion Day that the

Phil’s population.../from...p1

Philippines would play a big role in population as well as human productivity “As the youth’s population increases, their role in the society becomes significantly important … To change the world for the bet-

ter is to invest in the growth and strength of our youth. There are over 1.8 billion people aged 10 to 24 years old, making one quarter of the world’s population. Ninety per cent of those youth live in develop-

ing countries,” he said.He added that in the Phil-ippines, there were 19.2 million youth in 2013.According to the World Population Review, the Philippines’ popu-lation grows at an an-nual 1.98 per cent.

The UP Alliance of Development Com-munication Students (UP ADS) conducted the first “SalinHay-ag,” a campus jour-nalism seminar for Grades 7 and 8 stu-dents of the Recto Me-morial National High School in Tiaong, Qu-ezon on March 1, 2014. “SalinHayag” is UP ADS’ newest socio-civic activity that aims to equip students with basic journalism skills which can be used to meet the requirements of their campus publica-tion, and to participate in nationwide competitions for campus journalism.

The activ-ity included lectures and hands-on exer-cises on news and features writing, pho-tojournalism, editorial cartooning, copyread-ing, and sports writing Prof. Kabzeel Sheba Catapang, faculty member of the College of Development Com-munication (CDC) ,de-livered the lecture of fea-tures writing, while Mark Vincent Aranas, knowl-edge management as-sistant at the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) and former managing editor, layout

artist and photographer for The Los Banos Times and Dalumat Magazine, lectured on newswrit-ing and photojournalism. Sandy Sandoval, editorial cartoonist of The Los Banos Times during academic year 2010-2011, talked about the basics of editorial cartooning. Angela Mae Minas, junior specialist at the International Rice Re-search Institute, taught copyreading, while Ron Kennell Alfaro, found-er and adviser of The Travesia Publications of the Southern Luzon State University (Tiaong), taught sports writing. Aranas, San-doval, and Minas are CDC alumni. In his closing remarks, Renniel Bar-celona, editor in chief of The Rectorian, the Recto MNHS official publica-tion, thanked the speak-ers and the organization for holding the seminar and expressed hope that the additional knowl-edge and skills the par-ticipants acquired will help improve the con-tent of the student pub-lication and give them more confidence when participating in campus journalism competitions..

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phi-Volcs) raise the alert lev-el to “critical” for Mount Mayon in Eastern Al-bay, meaning an explo-sive eruption is possible. More than 12,000 peo-ple have been evacuated from around a foot of the country’s most ac-tive volcano as the crater glows red. The Mount Mayon volcano belched out hugged lava frag-

ment that rolled about a kilometre down its slope.According to PhilVolcs , there was “ a noticeable escalation of unrest” ob-served at the mountain, prompting the agency to raise the alert level to three as said by the head of PhilVolcs Renato Soli-dum. Also the raise of alert level is because of escalation of restive-ness, including the ejec-tion of glowing rocks from the volcano there is also noticeable molten lava at the top of the volcano in the clear night sky. The said volca-no has erupted 50 time over the last 600 years and last erupted in 2009, and now the near perfect cone of the Philippines impending an eruption.

Letter to The EditorTO:FROM:

JUST FACE IT! Each time a government official is ac-cused of misdeed or graft, he or she would immediately dismiss the charges as mere political persecution. Former presidents Joseph Estrada and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo had used the term in responding to plunder cases filed against them. A lot other politicians who have pending cases either with the Ombudsman or the Sandi-ganbayan have cited political persecution in their defenses. No wonder why Vice President Je-jomar Binay would readily say political harassment or politically motivated once his reaction is sought on the charges of al-leged overpriced Makati City Hall Building 2 and other “kickbacks” he reportedly earned from various transactions when he was still mayor of the country’s premier commercial district. But is Binay really a victim of politi-cal persecution? Are the charges hurled against him politically motivated? Are the complainants against Binay driven by the ill motive of destroying the vice president to derail his presidential ambition? Whether or not there is politics be-hind Binay’s problems, he has to face it. No amount of politicking can ruin his reputa-tion as a leader nor stop him from becom-ing the next president if he has no hidden secrets inside his closet. Binay knows that allegations of anomalies or corruption will not prosper if these are not supported by evidence. If Binay would be able to prove that the accusations are just part of a grand scheme to discredit and besmirch his in-tegrity, he will surely corner the presidency with ease. However, by continuously evad-ing the issue, Binay’s claim of harassment and persecution will be viewed as an alibi of defense that does not confront nor address the cases. Unfortunately, the Vice President has no other option but face his accusers.

Mayroon po bang pinaplano ang SLSU-TC ukol sa pagtulong sa mga pagpapalaganap ng pag unlad ng komunidad?

Meron kaming project proposal.Ito yung “Sting Less Bee Pro-duction”.

Saan po kaya ito gagawin at sino po ang makikinabang dito?

May nakuha na kaming 30 farmers sa talisay at bibigyan ang mga ito ng 2 colonies per person.

Ano ba yung “Stingless Bee Production”?

Ito iyong pag aalaga ng mga bubuyog tapos yung bee house at pulot ay ibebenta samin at gagawin naming produkto katulad ng sabon at ointment.

May mga kagamitan na po ba ang SLSU-TC dito?

Yung mga bagong building ang gagawin naming laboratory para sa project na ito.

Hindi.kasi kung pagsasabay sabayin mas mahabang traffic ang mangyayare.matraffic na nga kahit ndi sabay sabay :3

Hindi ako pabor sa sabay sabay n pagpapagawa ng mga kalsadang yan though they just doing their part na ayusin ang mga kalsada, but then parang may naamoy akong kakaiba dito bukod sa traffic, kapg tumagal ang days ng construction mas malaki ang kurakot ng mga nasa taas at syempre humahalimuyak ang amoy pulitika!!! hahaha

Oo, para always akong nasa EDSA! HAHA.

Yes. Buti pa yung mga maraming nkakakita na kalsada inaayos e yung tulay namin na nagdudugtong sa bayan 2 months na dahil sinira ng bagyong Glenda di pa din inaaksyunan. Minsan kasi ang mga politiko umaaksyon dahil pkitan GAWA asar! Di ko nilalahat pero mrami :3

sa "sabay sabay"? It's a No. Malaking pasakit sa mga estudyante lalu na yung taga malayo na inaabot ng gbi sa pag uwe. Pero tingnan natin ang positive side. Mas madali matatapos ang pag construct at pag repair ng kalsada, hindi na magiging hussle ang pag pasok, mas mapapabilis na ang byahe pag pasok (pero syempre depende sa driver kung ilang kanto ang titigilan). Siguro tiis na lang muna tayo.

Public Service is a public trust. Being a Trav staffer is not as smooth as what everybody expects it to be. It is not just a matter of report-ing to the office, editing articles (if you are authorized to do so), attending the regular staff meetings and shar-ing your P’s every Friday afternoon. Each one of us risk our own selves in order to produce quality arti-cles every issue. Thanks to those cof-fee containers and flakes during over-nights takes my stress away. Yes, that fourteen pesos snack is worth that stress I had gained whole night long. It takes a long process before a reporter’s article could be marked “For Printing” which assures him/her that his/her name would be included on the next issue. Almost everything we have had has been sacrificed just to make an article possible-everything! Thus, a simple smile from a loved one is a sort of motivation to complete such tasks. All of us are sincerely giving our

time and effort not just to improve our relationship with the pen but also to fulfil our main agendum of serving the SLSU community and even the simple “calamares” vendor outside the cam-pus. Nevertheless, being an instru-ment for the people, may it be a jour-nalist or not, is not as easy as 1-2-3. On the other hand, the making of this magazine and being an editor made me realize the fact why our nation has never achieved its goal of being a better, if not the best, country for us. Consider this situation. Some of our writers were not able to sub-mit their articles on time. This really pissed me off since they cannot give me anything everytime I demand for articles. Reason? The staff knocked on the doors of our ever-dear-on-TV government offices for an interview. However, the employees always rup-ture their pledge of giving data regard-ing the topics I assigned to the writers. It is very difficult for us student-jour-nalists to go to their offices for the sup-

posedly-scheduled interview which is always moved over and again? This maybe the great example for the line “Promises are made to be broken”. Aaaaargh! My nerves were about to burst out every time I hear the staff utter the same explanations to me. Think of this, “the accomplish-ment and success of a country starts from each and every citizen living on it.” I, if not all of us, understand the mere fact that you have your own priorities much important than spending your time with us. But let us all be reminded that it is not just you who are serving everyone. Please. Bear with us. Being selfish and snobbish might crack your bones and bring your soul to the mountain of sinners, sooner or later. The op-portunity of giving us a 15-minute interview would benefit some nine hundred students who are eager to know your plans for them. Besides, being a Trav staffer is not as smooth as what everybody expects it to be.

Who’s to be blamed? “Anong masasabi nyo sa naging SONA ni PNOY?”“Puro achievements lang naman ang sinasabi niya, paano naman ang pangako nyang trabaho para sa amin?” This was the interview that I heard after the SONA of PNOY. Everyone’s keep on blaming PNOY for the still growing unemployment in our country, when the fact is we ourselves are the one to be blamed. Let me tell you this, there are hundred of billion people in our coun-

try and PNOY is only one. How can he provide each one of us to have a job? There are many jobs out there and all we need to do is to find it out. Its not like PNOY will give it to you personally and that’s it instant job. You must work hard for it. You have to experience the process of having a job and even the rejection from the employer because that’s life. It’s not always you can get what you want. PNOY is the president. Re-member PRESIDENT. Unemploy-ment is not just the crisis that our country is facing of. But Yes, it seems

that his action is a slow motion that’s why I can’t blame you for keeping protesting your wants. But take it easy dude, he still have one year to prove himself. But if not, then I won’t stop you for saying what you want. I am saying this not be-cause I’m with PNOY. It’s just that we should not blame someone for having no job. We, to ourselves must find it in our own. As everyone said, “Lahat ng bagay pinaghihirapan”. I’m telling you, it feels good to get things you worked out rather than to have things in just one snap…

One Step Ahead T R A N S F O R M A -TION-a change for the better!This is the main goal of the ad-ministration of President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino as he took over the office of the Philippine President.When he was elected in May 2010, it was a huge hope for every one of us. The countrymen hope that he would bring back honesty as guiding prin-ciples into the actions and decisions of this office. Another thing is that they are hoping that the lawlessness, high levels of violence, corruption, human rights, and violations would finally find an end and one more thing is that the hardened poverty of more than 25% of the past growing population would finally be reduced.Aquino won a landslide election on the basis of his anti-corruption platform, "daang matuwid". Now the question is, is our country is re-ally going on the right path? Is there

any transformation happened?As far as we know, Pres. Aquino is now on his fourth year of his single six year term and he already had five SONA in which he publicly report to his "Boss"-which is pertaining to the Filipino people the current status of our country under his leadership.He said that our country undergoes changes and improvements under his administration. But the ques-tion is, are the Filipino people sat-isfied? Do they really feel the pro-gress that Pres. Aquino talk about?Of course there are people who were satisfied but unfortu-nately, many of them were not.We can't deny the fact that even Pres. Aquino is doing his best to lead on the country on the straight and righteous path, what we heard are a lot of com-plain and if something goes wrong they always put the blame on him.It's quite sad that what always people see are the mistakes that a person com-mit and their eyes are always closed

to the good things that he had done.And now why that is this happen there is an impeachment motion against him? They accused him of culpable violation of the constitu-tion, betrayal of public trust and cor-ruption. What triggers those peo-ple to put him on this situation?Instead of accusing him such rude things, why they don't think of what they can contribute to help Pres. Aquino in resolving the problems that we inher-ited and the problems that arise today.We should not put all the burdens on his shoulders. Like every one of us, he is also a human who commit mistakes and one who at times is also capable of feeling apprehension.We always seek for changes so we must participate actively for those changes to be realized. Cooperation and par-ticipation are just what we really need.Let's take our part and do our best to help even a bit!

DISPUTES AND AMBIGUITY

The Philippines from the for-mer administration is known to be a small country who’s been lead by Glo-ria Macapagal Arroyo, she is accused to be a corrupt leader who is engaged in anomalous doings that cause Filipi-no citizen to lost their trust on her that resulted to numerous protests against her which aims to stooped her down. Filipino’s were very excited for the election to come, during the campaign the citizen meticulously observed the candidates for the Presidency, the two who stand out among the candi-dates were Manuel Villar and Benigno Aquino III. During his first year of term

he has been test by many trials and one of the biggest trial he encounter is the “Manila Hostage Crisis” wherein a tourist bus of Hong Kong National’s were hostage by a police officer that leads to the death of some of the tour-ist, some says that he doesn’t do a great job because he doesn’t handle the said tragedy as it was expected to be. The administration of PNOY on the other hand was also praised for the president’s good leadership specially that Philippines economic growth grows compared from before, infrastructure development was also praised even if it causes heavy traffic

so far but let’s just think that it would be for the best once it is done. Even the various typhoon’s and phenom-ena’s like earthquakes that destroy several infrastructures was carefully handled by the administration. The current issue that is being thrown to the president is his said to be involve-ment and participation in the Philip-pine’s Disbursement Acceleration Fund (PDAF) which other says are funds that comes from the Philippine’s budget that is not wisely spent by the government official s instead they use it for their personal needs.

With eagerness and excitement, the Department of Social Welfare and Develop-ment (DSWD) launched a P43.9-billion poverty eradication program that aims to give devel-opment funds to poor municipalities, with ba-rangay councils having the discretion to choose projects last June 18. Also, it meant to less-en the poverty prob-lems in the Philippines. Mrs. Corazon Soliman, the Social Wel-fare Secretary said that the National Commu-nity Driven Development Program (NCDDP) is a nationwide expansion of the DSWD’s Kapitbisig Laban sa Kahirapan-Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (Kala-hi-CIDSS), which the World Bank funded with

$100 million in 2003 and which lasted until 2010. This time, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will pro-vide the NCDDP with financial support of $479 million and $372.1 million, respectively. The Aquino ad-ministration, for its part, will give a P9.3-billion counterpart funding to the program, which will start this year and last until 2019. World Bank acting country director Chiyo Kanda and ADB country director Richard Boltat joined Soliman in launching the NCDDP at the Annabel’s restaurant along Morato Avenue in Quezon City.Using the community-driven ap-proach, the NCDDP, like its predecessor Kalahi-CIDSS, will empower fourth to sixth class mu-nicipalities to organize

themselves, analyze their situations, prepare pro-ject proposals to address their problems, and com-pete for block grants to fi-nance their own projects.The development pro-jects may include local infrastructure such as water systems, school buildings, day care cent-ers, health stations, and roads and bridges. “By giving citi-zens the opportunity to come together and decide among them-selves how to address

their poverty situation and providing them with the technical and finan-cial support to do so, we are ensuring that their needs are addressed ef-fectively,” Soliman said. She also said that the Kalahi-CIDSS has shown that community initiated, developed and implemented projects are better in terms of quality and are sustained by the communities years after completion.The Kalahi-CIDSS financed close to 6,000 local projects worth $265 million, benefiting over 1.6 million house-holds in the poorest mu-nicipalities and provinces in the Philippines since 2003.From the original 11 provinces (Quezon, Zam-boanga del Norte, Lanao del Norte, Davao del Norte, Saranggani, Agu-san del Norte, Iloilo, Ifugao, Masbate, Siqui-jor, and Eastern Sa-mar) covered by Kala-hi-CIDSS, the NCDDP will cover 58 provinces.

Typhoon Glenda, the first strong typhoon to hit the Philippines this year, shut down Metro Manila when it slammed into Luzon on Wednes-day leaving a trail of death and destruction and forcing hundreds of thousands to evacuate. The typhoons ferocious winds tore roofs off hous-es, ripped trees out of the ground and damaged a lot of schools/ universi-ties including Southern Luzon State University (SLSU) Tiaong Campus. The typhoon de-stroyed SLSU’S Licup Covered Court (LCC), school canteen and some benches. It’s strong wind tore roof of buildings and ripped almost all of the trees out of the ground.

Typhoon “Glen-da’s” landfall not only devastated SLSU Tiaong, which lay on it’s path: worse, it laid bare the disturbing is-sue: Where is the cam-pus government? More especially, who is in charge during this case? In the first few days after the disaster hit, student’s and teach-er’s unite in cleaning and bringing back the beauty of the university. Every-one expect that few days after the typhoon, class-es will resume. But unfor-tunately as announced by the admin, the class-es are suspended for two weeks for the renovation of the damaged facilities. After almost a month classes resumed

but classrooms are still destroyed. There’s no changes! There’s no renovation happened! There’s no real evidence of organized recovery at the said university. Education is the key to success- it is re-ally an old saying but SLSU student’s seem to still believe on it. Some sections build temporary room and some are hav-ing their classes under the trees on the school ground. New classroom schedule are also made so that everyone will be able to use the build-ings which are not af-fected by the typhoon. Lot’s of questions were heard at the cam-pus, “Bakit ganito? One month na ah.” “Asan na

ba ang SSC? Di man lang tumutulong!”. “Wala bang tulong mula sa mga nasa mataas na posisy-on?” “Bakit ang bagal ng pagsasa ayos?” The per-sons responsible for this case seemed invisible to the students and we can’t blame them, they are supposed to have a room conducive to learning, a presentable and good one, but there’s none, Oops, yes there are few, but not enough for the needs of everyone. Glenda’s un-preadented devasta-tion brings with it the opportunity to start again- to start right this time and to prove that SLSU-Tiaong Campus’ Govenment is not an in-visible but a good one.

This body of water is believed to be a crater of a volcano justify-ing its pot-like shape. It measures 50 hectares of water surfaces and a more or less 120 hectares including the lush venation of trees and other flora species around the lake. Its depth is yet to be measured but there are reports an existing plant life several meters below. Tikub lake found at brgy. Ayusan I and San Pe-dro. A location of 3 kilometres distance from the town proper that can be reach by land transportation. It is popular for its enjoyable and interesting activities like fishing, wake boarding, aqua biking, lake tubing, kay-aking, cliff diving, swimming .ATV diving and downhill biking and many others which are plans for the further development of the fascinating lake. It is also perfect for bird watching and almost hundreds of species can be found in skyline especially when migrating season.

paper. Be it a torn notebook page full of doodles or a crumpled yellow paper of an essay draft, it sure is: wastage. Have you not imagined all the

paper you wasted within a year or a month’s time? It is a lot! Unfortunately, seldom do people realize that wasting paper costs trees, the primary source of paper.

According to the Daily Green, an environmental website, “42% of the industrial wood harvest is used to make paper”. It means that a significant number of trees are cut down just to meet

our demand for paper. More importantly, it means you should think twice before throwing

Subtract-a- “PEN” Admit it, too – there was never a year where you bought just one pen. Practically, you keep many

pens in a year for two reasons: either your pen ran out of ink or you lost it. Pens are a usual victim of peo-ple’s clumsiness. And because most pens are cheap, people do not really mind when they lose one. What they miss is that pens are made from non-biodegradable plastic. Consequently, piles of disposed pens also make piles of plastic waste! A c c o r d i n g to A Green Living, another environmental website, Americans alone account for 106 billion pens per year. And it is just the United States, not the world pen consumption. Therefore, it is important to do something that could, at least, reduce such waste. Instead of buying

a disposable pen, why not try a refillable one? Refills are practically cheaper than a pen and they use less plastic, too.

Pictograph -ite Pencils may be a thing of the past for most college students. But

no – just imagine your humanities class or your multiple-choice, shaded exams without them. Wondering how many pencils are produced every

another piece of paper in the trash bin. You should also think twice before buying a paper product made with virgin wood. Fortunately,

paper products made from recycled material are readily available in the market. After all, as the Daily Green puts it, “[p]aper made with 100% recycled content uses 44% less energy, produces 38% less greenhouse gases emissions, 41% less particulate emissions, 50% less wastewater, 49% less solid waste, and 100% less wood”

year? A whopping 15-20 billion – which require 60, 000 60-feet trees as reported by Pristine Planet, an environmental website. What could be done then? If you want to reduce the number of trees cut down yearly for pencils, try using eco-friendly pencils. Luckily, pencils from recycled materials can now be purchased from school supply stores. *** So the next time you buy a pen, paper, or pencil, re-member how mathematics and the environment relate with each of these school supplies. After all, every “school buddy” that we need comes from Mother Nature.

By doing so, it would not only minimize the impact of tons of e-waste to the environment but also counter the harmful effects on health.

For donations, participating Globe Stores nationwide has provided donation bins for its customers and other stakeholders who would want to participate in the campaign. The complete list of participating Globe Stores is available at www.globe.com.ph/project1phone. Further, schools, corporations, local government units, and other private and non-gov-ernment organizations may also participate in the program by adopt-ing recycle bins. Interested parties may email Globe at bridgecom@globe.com.ph. All donations (devices and accessories) from this campaign will be recycled by TES-AMM, a leading electronics waste recycler. TES-AMM is also responsible for recovering precious metals and plastics from the recycled gadgets.

siring to become a teacher, more and more emphasis should be focused on practice teaching in schools. Because of numerous modern requirements and techniques of teaching the student, while reading books about them or listening to lectures should ac-quire a steady grasp and understanding by actual practice. The longer period devoted to practice teaching, the better for student-teachers. There is, then, a very urgent need for a complete re-appraisal of the prevailing official policy of our high educational author-ities regarding the training of our teachers. Minor in-service training, seminars and the like will not improve the teaching qual-ity of our new crop of teachers. How many of those who attend numerous seminars actually put into practice what they learn? I am more inclined believe that those who go to seminars go merely to comply with the orders of their principals or supervisors.

As long as a BEED and BSED student pays and pays well, he/she passes the course, much like going to a picnic! An important requirement for taking up the pre-entrance examination should be a certification from the high school principal that the applicant belongs to the upper 30 or 40% of the graduating class. Sometimes it is unbelievable that a 4-year BEED and BSED graduate has a hard time living up to the brilliant record of the 2-year normal graduate before the war. It is ironic that when the elementary school teacher’s college training was increased to 4-years, the quality of the graduates dropped sharply. In training a student de-

IN order to produce capable and efficient teachers we need experienced and qualified college instructors, right? To attract those highly-skilled moulders of children, the BEED and BSED schools should offer recompense and fringe ben-efits much higher and more enticing than those being offered now by the colleges and universities. But how should this be done? In fairness to the present private school authorities, they can’t fully meet the demands of experienced college mentors due to the sky-high costs of everything necessary in running a school. It is, then, but logical that the government should step

in and run these BEED and BSED schools itself, there-by eliminating the profit as-pect of private enterprise. With the government subsi-dizing the training of teach-ers, plus the tuition fees, those qualified college in-structors will be afforded better pay and benefits.

MANY Filipinos say that “how are we able to buy the things that we want if all the money that we earn is not even enough to fill our hungry stomach.” That’s why Guru Society helps in just a simple way.Guru society gathered funds to buy slip-pers that will be given to the students of Palagaran Elementary School. But be-cause of the small amount collected, not all the students are given the chance to have slipper that’s why the said organiza-tion only choose students who need the slippers most. They buy beautiful slippers that will surely be loved by the students.However, due to the still growing popu-lation of the BEEd students in SLSU-Tiaong Campus maybe next year they can already collect an enough amount of money and they can buy many slip-pers not just only for Palagaran Elemen-tary School but also to the other neighbor-

ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE

Sometimes, more money can mean more problems.That is what the ALS Association is trying to avoid as the fall season brings

an end to the Ice Bucket Challenge, a summer social-media sensation that fueled a record $113.3 million as of Monday in online donations to the nonprofit dedicated to fighting the rare, fatal disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a neurodegenerative disorder popularly known as Lou Gehrig’s

Disease.As far as challenges go, too much cash is a good one to have. But small or-ganizations that land big money face a host of pitfalls, say charity watchdogs

and management researchers. Those who ramp up hiring too quickly or spend the new funds without a clear strategy can risk their long-term financial health. And a rush of capital brings new stakeholders and higher inspection, expectations and putting a premium on com-munication and transparency. That is especially true when negative

news can travel just as fast as ice-bucket challenges.In August, Facebook feeds were filled with people

dumping buckets of ice water over their heads, and challenging others to do the same, or else donate to an ALS charity. Many people did both. The level of participation in the Ice Bucket

Challenge has been staggering to charity watchers, not least the ALS Association itself, which didn’t origi-nate the challenge, but was the chief beneficiary of its popularity.“It just became craziness. Good craziness, but craziness,” Such a large influx of cash can easily overwhelm an

organization. The jump in wealth often casts a brighter spotlight on the organization and tests the experience of the management.

It can also bring conflicting opinions about how to spend it.

If you were shock whether everything is an un-truth, the answer is a big YES. Everything is a

misrepresentation. Hello Kitty is not a cat. I repeat: Hello

Kitty is not a cat. According to Sanrio, Hello Kitty is a cheerful and happy little girl with a

heart of gold. Hello Kitty whom you have seen on every products and movies in over the past 40 years

is in fact a human child. Curator and Hello Kitty expert named Christine Yano said the company informed her that “Hello Kitty is a cartoon character, she is a friend, but she is not a Kitty. Her real

name is Kitty White. She was born on Nov. 1, 1974. She is a Scorpio and blood type A. She walks and sits like a two-legged human being. She has

a twin sister, Minny White and they lives outside of London with her father George and her mother Mary. She does have a pet cat of her own named Charmmy Kitty.”

Some of us have the image of a stylized cat on us become quite alarming when we turn out to be pictures of a young British girl. I know in fact about Charmmy Kitty before, but I al-ways assumed that claiming another, smaller cat was just an act of a weird imagination on Hello Kitty’s part, like the way we see that Big Bird’s age was supposed to be four, but who’s to say that he is a bird. Probably he is just an adult American man in a bird costume, or something equally crazy like that.

mOVIE REVIEW:ALEFICENT The “ Sleeping Beauty” riff “ Maleficent” is another over-produced. Summer spectacular, released into a world that has too many. The film’s story is an example of what The Guard-ian film critic Peter Bradshaw calls “ that emerging post-“ wicked”genre, the revisionist backstory fairytale, but its affect-ing. It has a primordial edge that the clumsy film making can’t blunt. There are moments in “ Maleficent” that are pro-foundly disturbing, in the way that ancient myths and Grimm fairytales are disturbing. Hey strike to the heart of human experience and create the kinds of those memories of young children – young girls particularly will obsess over, because on some level they’ll know, even without the benefit of adult experience, that the film is telling them a horrible sort of truth. Maleficent is truly a movie made by a committee; it’s direction is credited to Robert Stromberg , a longtime production designer and it’s script to “Beauty and the Beast” scribe Linda Woolvertoon. As the title character, a misunderstood and wronged wowan Angelina Jolie has make- up enhanced cheekbones that could be registered as lethal weapons. Put them together with her wary cobalt eyes and ruby lips and the wings and the horns that the character sports early in the picture. Other chararcters in the movie are Brenton Thwailes, Elle Fanning, Imelda staunton, India Eisley, Juno Temple, Kenneth Cranham, Lesley Manville, Miranda Richardson, Peter Capaldi, Sam Riley and Sharlto Copley. The tales begin with the flashback to Maleficent as a young girl fairy, befriending a farm boy who’s snuck into his forest on a mission of thievery.

If your friend is into old-fashioned things, get him/her a classic like Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and you

won’t go wrong. Paperbacks usually cost about 300 – 500 pesos, while hardbound copies are pricier at 500 – 1000 pesos.

2 Tumbler –Bringing beverages with you will never be uncomfortable again, not with our buddy tumblers! So if your friend or loved one does not have one yet, these are fantastic gifts! Tumblers are like the new and more fash-ionable water jugs slash handy thermos everyone has or wants to have. Some stores even sell personalized tumblers if you want a touch of unique character in them. With prices ranging from 100-700 pesos, you surely won’t go wrong with picking this gift.

3 Music cD/DVD – One of the safest things to give to your manito/manita is a music CD. Each person likes a certain genre, so be sure to find out the kind of music your friend likes if you don’t know yet. Prices for an original CD range from 200 – 500. If your friend is more of a movie buff, you can get him/her a DVD instead!

4 Clothes – Clothes are mirrors to one’s personality. This is why most only dare to give clothes to people who are really close to them. Finding the right a piece of cloth with the right design and size that the recipient will love is a pain in the ass. Nevertheless, the happiness that will radiate from that person will surely be worth every leg muscle aching from the long walks. The price of the clothing will depend on the design or brand. You can buy clothes for as low as 50 pesos, but if you have a lot of money to spare, you can go for those worth hundreds and up.

5. Umbrella-These days, the weather is so unpredictable. One minute it’s blazing hot, the next it’s pouring like cats and dogs. Get your friend a handy umbrella for protection against the harsh elements. From plain-colored ones for boys to colorfully patterned ones for girls, there are many styles to choose from. An umbrella costs 200

– 500 pesos, which is a reasonable price for something that can shield you from the sun and rain. There’s also an added plus to this gift: your friend will think of you whenever he/she uses it!

Ma. Carmela Austria

Night comes and darkness conceal the earth below,

But in the sky,

The twinkling stars begin to glow

Lights, soon, on streets and in the homes appear

Melting the shadows of gloom and fear

Fireflies their lamps on every arm have flee

While birds in safe nests now comfortably sleep

I bow my head and thank the lord for this bless dayFor all the gifts he made to come way.

TWILIGHTMa. Carmela Austria

Night comes and darkness conceal the earth below,

But in the sky,

The twinkling stars begin to glow

Lights, soon, on streets and in the homes appear

Melting the shadows of gloom and fear

Fireflies their lamps on every arm have flee

While birds in safe nests now comfortably sleep

I bow my head and thank the lord for this bless dayFor all the gifts he made to come way.

PIPE DREAMThe way he walks, the way he smilesMakes my heart melts for a whileStare here, side-glanced for a day

Sometimes, he asked me, “Hi, how are you?”My feet froze don’t know what to doNo word came out to my mouthStill wide-open, there’s a sign of doubt

He holds my cheeks and I feel confusionThen slap my face without further explanationOuch it hurts! “Ate, wake up!”Your mouth wide-open, I put paper on top.

Myrine Pormon

TreasureThe thing that hurt you most

Like a battle, you losePainful process you’ll take

After pure love you gave

Memories and time counts meCry is the way, would be?Bitterness and guilts lead

to my heart turns on bleed

Forget him, forget himThe word that my mind eats

But my heart still waitsSomeday you’re gone away

Why now I realized?Four words can’t give on eyes

And leave me to the ailedOther says “you’ll be fine”

Someday you learn to smileBe optimist and love

World is laugh, not to mad

I leap myself busyOn things I’ve done lastly

I knew to become blueBut I learned to come glow

One thing best to loveIs endless love of God?

He never hurt to heartAnd never leaves you not

Sun Shines in the Darkest NightShattered pieces of a jigsaw puzzleEvery pieces has it’s counterpartRight pairs are tricky to be foundThat’s how my life isEvery move seems so wrongCan’t find the right one Mind was full of what if’sEverything seems so darkHiding my lightTill the day that you cameA light from the aboveGave me a glimpse of hope Inspires me to came outSee what’s in store for meStart picking up the piecesUntil I made it throughDarkest night is overSun goes up and shines for me

Claudia Neil “Jaja” Rodriguez is a 12-yr old small-town-girl, with big dreams.

She learned her dance routines through Tiaong East Elemen-tary School Dance Troupe. She shone the brightest and im-pressed the judges at the Municipal Anti-Drug Abuse Council Dance Competition where her group bagged the grand prize.

Through the support of her mother, Gina Rodriguez, she con-tinued to dance and train as a member of Elastika Saltatrix, and developed her skills and flexibility. Their school decided to join the gymnastics (DepEd Althelic Meet), and trained under the hands of Gerald Ferrer, a member of Elastika Saltatrix. In her first year of competition, Jaja managed to reach STCAA Meet. Being a neophyte in the said competition, that experience

pushed her to train harder to achieve her dream.

Today in her second year of competition, she will go all the way from District Meet to Palarong Pambansa 2014. Palarong Pam-bansa is the dream of many athletes here in the Philippines. To compete for the pride of Tiaong, Quezon and of the region is an

experience someone like Jaja always wanted to have.

She is the Palarong Pambansa Bronze medallist on Rhythmic Gymnastics (Ball Category) Elementary Division, competing against 43 gymnasts coming from all regions of the Philippines.

We thank all the people who became a part of her success. Because without them, there will be no JAJA bringing pride and honor to our town. Especial Thanks to Gerald Ferrer (Trainor/Coach), Normita Dimanlig Ty (President, PGAA), Geneveve Ty (Head Coach, RG), Mark Andrew Capunitan (father of Elastika Saltatrix) Lorena Reyes (Assistant Team Coach Region IV-A),

and Loraine V. Conquilla (Team Coach Region IV-A).

We can say that “save the best for last” Thinking aloud with this, we need to support Gilas repre-senting our native land. Is it right?Gilas Pilipinas and many other sports group are always thinking to their best catering their abilities, car-rying their weapon that they can. In fact, they never waste the trust of the people instead they al-ways bring victory to the country. In connection with this, the said team needs a huge help upon their fight this coming August 30, 2014 to Spain. Gilas are closely adhering to the help that our country can pro-vide because it is not about Gilas, it is about the name of the Philippines. They can fulfill their fighting spir-it even they lose or win of course with the undying help and faith of Filipi-nos rather than ignoring their efforts. However, team Gilas show-ing their patriotism and nationalism as they are taking their battles hold-ing the nation’s pride, that is the time that we can say; Gilas at their best.
