Building deteriorate, machinery wears, technology changes but people grow, develop & become more effective if they understand their potential value. It also depends on the determination to make or break. It also depends on the ability to recognize the value that others can give.
My goal as author of BatangRizal is to lead / share to potential leader(s) /successor(s) and to all members of BatangRizal Organization. It would be my responsibility to inspire, help and make the necessary changes to reach our goal. Everything rises and fall on leadership. This positive interaction can happen only if the leader has an attitude of awin-win relationship. It is essential for us to have leaders and successors who can carry on…”effectively” at any given time.
As you grow and improve, so with those you lead, you must remember that people follow you.”They can only go as far as you go” You must think twice ahead because if your growth stops, your ability to lead stops with it. Neither personality nor methodology can constitute your personal growth. If you do not believe in success it is very difficult to achieve. This will not happen overnight. You must cultivate your talents and “ DON’T BE A COPY CUT ”, have a lot of courage, confidence, creative ideas, vision, motivation, focus and inspiration. Let go of your own personal insecurity and selfish act. Create your own identity!
There is no success without a successor, fly high out with priority, parameters, sacrifices and commitments. Create memberships that will be patriotic to our endevour and services. Encourage our people to be more productive and make command of changes in the Organization. Be a “thermostats” rather than “thermometers”…Thermostat is an active instrument that create a change while thermometer is passive and can do nothing to change the temperature. Expect the unexpected don’t be comfortable.
Attitude is a big factor of winding positive and negative growth. You must be open minded for the constructive and destructive critism. You must welcome challenges, You must know your mission and vision. Planning ahead of time play a big factor. Have a quality time and avoid rush. You must know for your self your weak point and strong point. Dont emphasize on position nor tittle. Be simple, humble and with a big heart for the less fortunate, care enough to comfort, share your dreams and ideas. Don’t be selfish and at the end you will be receiving a gratifying result and will be rewarded much to your expectations.
A RESOLUTION EXTENDING A WARM GREETINGS AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE IGLESIA NI CRISTO (INC) ON THE CELEBRATION OF ITS 95TH FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY On July 27, 2009
WHEREAS, the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) marks its 95th Founding Anniversary on July 27, 2009;
WHEREAS, the evangelizing guidance of its great spiritual leader, the late Ka Felix Y. Manalo, to the present leadership of its Executive Minister, Ka Eraño G. Manalo, the INC has provided spiritual nourishment and support to millions of its faithful members throughout the country and in many places in the world;
WHEREAS, it has contributed immensely to the growth of Philippine society, in general, and in Rizal, Laguna in particular, by instilling among our people the values of being good, active, law-abiding and God-fearing citizens;
WHEREAS, the INC has likewise served the material needs of not only of its flock but also of many others in need through such outreach programs on education, youth development, family counseling, health, disaster relief and socio-economic community extension services;
WHEREFORE, premises considered, be it resolved, as it is hereby resolved, to adopt a resolution extending a warm greetings and congratulations to the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) on the celebration of its 95th founding anniversary on July 27, 2009;
RESOLVED further that copies of this Resolution be furnished the Executive Minister of INC, the District/Local Minister, and all others for their information.
ADOPTED this 21st day of July 2009.
Happy 95th Founding Anniversary to all members of the
Iglesia ni Cristo
The Iglesia ni Cristo; Church of Christ; also known as INC, or Iglesia, is the largest entirely indigenous Christian religious organization that originated from the Philippines and the largest independent church in Asia. Felix Y. Manalo officially registered the church as a corporation sole with him as executive minister on July 27, 1914 and because of this, most publications refer to him as the founder of the church. However, the official doctrines of the church profess that Jesus Christ is the founder of the INC and that Felix Manalo was God’s last messenger, whom he sent to re-establish the Christian Church to its true, pristine form because the original church was apostatized. They believe that the apostatized church is the Roman Catholic Church, and proclaim that Catholic dogmas, such as the Trinity, are proof of this apostacy. The organization does not believe in the Trinity, nor that the divinity of Jesus and the Holy Spirit are Biblical.

Another Pinoy-made animation series comes BIDA or known as “Batang Iwas Droga” aired on NBN 4 Network in 2003. Created by the team of some Filipino animators and sponsored by PAGCOR or Philippine Amusement & Gaming Corp., GSIS or Government Service Insurance System and PCSO or Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office. BIDA is a 13-episode cartoon series that tells about encouraging youth on how to fight and avoid drugs.
Fortunately Rizal Elementary School was visited by the BIDA Caravan dubbed :
” BIDA Batang Iwas Droga sa Laguna Eskwela Caravan Mundo ko Laban sa Droga “
BIDA Caravan at Rizal Elementary School
The first animated BIDA series tells about three orphan kids who gained powers in order to fight against drugs. Their names represented based on Philippine archipelago names- Luzon,Visayas, and Mindanao. The first child was named Lucy, who lives in a province of Luzon wears a yellow suit and has abilities similar to gymnastics, Victor-a Visayan child wears a blue suit and has a yoyo as a weapon and last one, Mindo-young boy from Mindanao wears a red suit with arnis as his weapon. Together, with the help of their mentor known as Chairman they defeat criminals who were the suspects of spreading the drugs especially the boss named…I forgot who but it has a name,”Draco”then.
1st Anime characters: Lucy/Luzon in yellow, Victor/ Visayas & Mindo/Mindanao
The show BIDA made in the Philippines aired in the year 2003, the same year Tutubi Patrol produced. I’m kinda thinking why the show never became popular but it seems interesting that the show endorsed youth about information about illegal drugs and how to avoid them. BIDA add some anime-style to make even the show good. I remember that this show aired every Saturday mornings. Looking back to it’s animation style, it seemed it went bad or sometimes jerky especially when it comes to stop motion and fighting scenes. Another thing was, I remembered in a scene in the final episode that the four characters of Ghost Fighter appeared. It was weird that I even said “Huh?” for seeing that kind of a scene. BIDA also had a mix of digital and traditional art but it didn’t work when it comes to viewer’s attention. Anime became popular to Pinoys until the show canceled the next year. What good thing about BIDA was that not only they show about how to avoid drugs, they show also an important part when it comes to Pinoy animation.Luckily, a BIDA trailer is available in this video.

The University of the Philippines College Admission Test is part of the admission requirements of the University of the Philippines System, administered to graduates of Philippine and foreign high schools. The UPCAT is considered to be the most competitive college entrance exam in the country.
Admission into UP depends not only on your performance in the UPCAT but also on your high school grades. Your weighted standardized scores on the UPCAT subtests in Language Proficiency, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics and Science, and the weighted average of final grades in your first three years in high school are combined. Moreover, to implement the policy of democratization to make the UP studentry more representative of the nation’s population, socio- economic and geographic considerations are factored in the selection of campus qualifiers.

As the premier State University, U.P. offers a wide range of degree programs. Most of these require qualification through the U.P. College Admission Test (UPCAT). To maintain its high standard of education and to maximize its limited resources, U.P. has had to limit slots for freshman admission to each campus and to its various degree programs.
Education is the best weapon against poverty. The economic problem of the country is directly related to the quality of the educational system; education must be the concern of every Filipino.

The Adopt-A-School program opens opportunities for private individuals and institutions to take part in solving the education crisis by improving the quality of Philippine education. They are urged to become partners who shall provide assistance, short-term or long-term basis, to various concerns in public education.

In as much as DepEd is committed to provide our students with a first class learning environment akin to that of private schools, such a task is vast and enormous. Chronic budgetary constraints and limited resources are some of the roadblocks, which the department must hurdle. The delivery of quality education is hampered because funding allocation for it has not been able to match the frightening annual growth in student population. As a consequence, schools experience shortages in teachers, classrooms, textbooks, desks, learning facilities and nutritional aid. With a scenario such as this, it is no wonder that the achievement levels of our students are not at par with that of the country’s Asian neighbors.
And as the government is unable to shoulder the responsibility of improving education by itself, there is a need to call on the private sector to recognize its role as a major stakeholder in the nation’s development especially in the enhancement of the public education system. Corporate groups, non-government organizations, and civil society groups could be potential stakeholders in sustaining quality education in public schools. And it is through the DepEd’s Adopt-a-School Program, where these potential stakeholders can participate.
Under the program, business groups, non-government organizations (NGOs), and civil society groups can adopt any public school of their choice anywhere in the country. Adopting a school means providing the necessary support in the areas of, but not limited to infrastructure, teaching and skills development, learning support, computer and science laboratory equipment, and food and nutrition.

Filipinos / Rizalenos would soon be honoring the country’s greatest hero on his birthday rather than on his death anniversary.
The House of Representatives has passed on third and final reading House Bill No. 5408 which seeks to move the observance of Rizal Day to June 19, the birthday of Dr. Jose Rizal, from Dec. 30, the date of his execution. The measure will amend Administrative Code of 1987, specifically Section 26, Chapter 7, Book I of Executive Order No. 292.
“Dr. Jose Rizal devoted practically all of his 35 years of existence on earth in putting premium on education and knowledge; and not on violence as a means of change,” said Manila Rep. Jaime Lopez who sponsored the measure.
Lopez said June 19 is the appropriate date to observe Rizal Day because it was Rizal’s writings that awakened Filipinos to unite together to attain the much-needed independence against foreign denomination and that his death alone did not trigger the 1896 revolution.
“It was his life-long accomplishments done during his lifetime that inspired and pushed us Filipinos to fight and work for our greatness as a race,” Lopez said.
Laguna Rep. Justin Marc Chipeco, a co-sponsor, said June 19 should be declared a “National Hero Day” nationwide.
National Historical Institute (NHI) chair Ambeth Ocampo has fully supported the transfer of Rizal Day as it would give Rizal the prominence he deserved rather than as an afterthought being squeezed between Christmas and New Year’s Day.

The Philippine Declaration of Independence occurred on June 12, 1898 in Cavite el Viejo (now Kawit), Cavite, Philippines. With the public reading of the Act of the Declaration of Independence, Filipino revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain, which had been recently defeated at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War.
The declaration, however, was not recognized by the United States or Spain. The Spanish government later ceded the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish-American War.
The United States recognized Philippine independence on July 4, 1946 in the Treaty of Manila. July 4 was observed in the Philippines as Independence Day until August 4, 1964 when, upon the advice of historians and the urging of nationalists, President Diosdado Macapagal signed into law Republic Act No. 4166 designating June 12 as the country’s Independence Day.June 12 had previously been observed as Flag Day.
The Proclamation Day
The event was led by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in his mansion on June 12, 1898. The flag of the Philippines, which was made in Hong Kong by Marcela Agoncillo, Lorenza Agoncillo and Delfina Herbosa de Natividad was first flown in that event. It is also where the Philippine National Anthem, composed by Julian Felipe, was first played by the San Francisco de Malabon band. The song was played under the name Marcha Filipina Magdalo, later renamed as Marcha Nacional Filipina.
The Official Flag of the Republic of the Philippines.The Philippines celebrated its Independence Day every July 4, the date in 1946 that the United States granted independence to the nation, until 1962, when President Diosdado Macapagal signed the Presidential Proclamation No. 28, changing the official celebration to June 12, the date in 1898 that Emilio Aguinaldo declared the nation’s independence from Spain

Even before the Spaniards and American came to the Philippines, and prior to Rizal, Laguna becoming a town, there were already notable qualities that the natives possess-unity and concern for others. As the houses were spaced far apart from each other, the leaders and the Teniente del Barrio devised an instrument to serve as signal to the people to provide reassurance to the constituents during times of invasion and to swiftly send messages and important information. Creativity is inherent to Filipinos, which was why our ancestors thought of making a lungga-ang, a piece of wood with its center hollowed out. This instrument gave out an unusual sound that can reach every corner of the barangay. They called the piece of wood Kalatong. From then on, the Kalatong served as a way to warn the people of danger or for calling urgent meetings. When the repeated Kalatong sounds were heard, men of the community gather at an appointed place to receive from the leaders any news of danger or information that needed to be disseminated. When the country was faced with threats on security or peace and order, the people continued to use the Kalatong especially in the remote areas where all houses had one that can be used when there was danger or a call for meeting. As the years went by the design of the Kalatong such that a piece of bamboo is now accepted as one. To introduce once more the importance of Kalatong and the revival of its use, the local government of Rizal, Laguna to hold a yearly celebration called the “ KALATONG FESTIVAL”

I-Witness / GMA7 documented a nerve-wracking and dazzling real-life reality show, but did not stage it — a public high school did. The school is the only one of its kind, the famed Philippine High School for the Arts in the secluded woods of Mount Makiling in Laguna, the alma mater of such arts luminaries as Raymond Red and Grace Nono.
For the first time in its history, the PHSA called for a live audition of aspirants for 40 annual scholarships, worth 300,00 pesos per student per year.
Howie Severino and his team immersed themselves in the week-long auditions on PHSA’s mountain campus, and focused on the lives of three applicants as they go through an emotional roller-coaster in a tranquil environment. Applicants become friends while competing as rivals for limited spots.
Ziv B. Astronomo is a shy home-taught classical guitarist from Brgy.PookRizal, Laguna who lost his mother to breast cancer five (5) years ago. Finally feeling at home in a school, he faces the prospect of rejection because another classical guitarist who is auditioning may be even better than he.

PHSA slates “Tayo na sa Makiling”
The Philippine High School for the Arts (PHSA) held its second phase of assessment activities for PHSA scholarship hopefuls on 18 to 22 May 2009 at the school’s Mt Makiling campus Los Banos, Laguna where in our kababayan Ziv Astronomo from Brgy. Pook passed with flying colors in a heavy contested nationwide search for Young Arts Scholars that only thirty five (35) of them qualified . From as high as 4000 aspirants, the participants numbering 99 were shortlisted during the 2009 Annual Nationwide Search for Young Arts Scholars held in sixteen Regional Audition Centers (RAC) from February to March this year.
Dubbed “Tayo na sa Makiling”, the graded workshops will be facilitated by the PHSA’s resident teachers and guest artists/educators. Also included are sessions on time management, study and library skills, dormitory living, and recreation activities.
The goal of “Tayo na sa Makiling” is to identify the most eligible aspirants who will be given scholarship by the school. Each qualifier will be given full Special Secondary Education scholarship for the School Year 2009-2010 which includes, among others, free accommodation, free meals, and a monthly stipend. Those who will not qualify will be placed in the Waitlist Category as probable replacements for those who will eventually decide not to accept the scholarship award.
A separate orientation on School Mandate, Scholarship Agreement, Manual for Scholars, Academic Support and Behavior Management Programs, Foster Care and Family Program, and other support mechanisms will be conducted for parents and legal guardians accompanying the participants.
