A TALK ON PHILO. LITT.. AND EDUC.

The first colloquium that we’ve had was the talk on Philosophy, Literature and Education.

I am somehow interested during the first talk because I really love listening to this invited guest that we’ve had, Mr. Jay Pajarillo. He was our teacher during our Ethics subject and I believe this is a very intellectual person. I enjoyed on how he gave his sentiments about the topic and on how he answered the questions raised both by the emcee, classmates and even Mrs. Bautista.

I also enjoyed listening to the talk about education by Mrs. Luna. Aside from the fact that I know her personally I also know on how she has surpassed all the struggles she has encountered in her life. That is why I know listening to her would be very contributive to my knowledge and skills.

I had a good time in listening to the invited nursing student who talked about Literature. I enjoyed it because I did not like poetry, which was his main topic but because I loved listening to the speaker and on how he boasted his skills in poetry.

In the end, an open forum which was started by my classmates happened.

CAMPUS JOURNALISM, DEAD?

Last Tuesday, we have attended a talk about the state of campus journalism in Angeles University Foundation.

The assigned group invited the staff of the Pioneer, AUF Official Student Publication and the editors-in-chief of every college paper, namely the Allimed (CAMP), CAS Ideas (CAS), Tradewings (CBA), Datalink (CCS), Teacher’s Pen (CED), Perspective (CE), and Nuscene (CON).

Each editor was given the chance to speak their mind regarding the state of campus journalism in AUF and the challenges they face as campus writers.

The editor in chief of the Allimed, Ms. Sarah Marie Kotowich said that the state of campus journalism in AUF is dead.

I must agree with Kotowich because that is what’s happening in AUF. Freedom of speech is being suppressed from the students because they can’t freely write what they wanted to express on papers. Basically, they are afraid that the Administration may reprimand them and get no support anymore.

But I guess, to make campus journalism be relived again in this University, campus writers must do something to resolve this problem. There are a lot of ways as said by the adviser of the Pioneer, Ms. Heather Bautista to express their liberal minds, without them sounding to be libelous and sarcastic.

There is still time to be freed. Let’s make the move and enjoy the gifts of campus journalism.

LIFE SUCKS...

How does someone measure one’s happiness? Is it on the material possessions she has? Or, is it on the achievements she has? Some people may say someone is happy if she has found the right person in her life. But, how about me, how do I measure happiness?

For the past few days, I was a bit sad because I cannot feel the care that must be given by other people to me. I must say I give all when I love somebody. I must say I make everybody happy. However, why can’t I feel the happiness I am longing for from the people I dearly love?

I have everything I tell you. But, am I happy? Well, I’m not.

PROCLAMATION RALLY 101

one of the candidates of the Team Unity, Chavit Singson

Last Tuesday, we went to San Fernando Convention Center to witness the Proclamation Rally of the Team Unity and to address the support of the President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to the team.

After the tragedy in entering the doors of the Convention Center, finally we arrive at the hall where the candidates of the team have stated all their colorful platforms and promises to the Kapampangans. Definitely, election 2007 is drawing nearer to the curtains. Now, what does this mean?

This would mean that the Filipino people would be once again be faced to a very had decision making, that is who will they be voting as leaders for this dying country.

As youth voters, the Filipino youth has something to say with the issue I am pointing. The Filipino youth is known for his tough and sensible decision, therefore, to the Filipino youth, make sure that the names you will be writing on your election papers this May are those who are possessing leadership qualities and not those who have with them their hidden agenda that will just add to the present problems of this county.

Well to those who are experienced, please let realize that the results of your decisions will take effect and affect the youth and the coming generation. For this, please make a wise vote and think of us as you complete your vote sheets.

As to the Team Unity, please make all those beautiful promises you have given to my fellow Pampangenos when you finally got the seat for the Senatorial house.

VJ HUNT 07

There are many reasons why this year’s VJ Hunt, which was sponsored by the Department of English and Mass Communications and SAMASKOM became a success.

First, there was unity among people who have been part of the productions. The spirit of volunteerism among students of A.B. Mass Communication 3 was obviously eminent.

Second, there were great ideas that were shared during the affair. Everybody has given their own sharing which have brightened the whole event in general. For that I would like to commend the great ideas, which were shared by these different bright people of ABMC 3.

Finally, I think the very reason why it became very successful is that there is passion in doing every task. Why so? We all love what we have done.

These things suffice the reasons why this year’s VJ Hunt was a very successful one.

Kudos and Congratulations ABMC 3.

SWEET AND SOUR

Filipino…where is your life going?

I have asked this question; perhaps for all the problems this country is experiencing right now. It is not undeniable that this country is facing so many problems that hinder the potential growth of every Filipino.

Today, the Filipino nation is facing its greatest crisis ever. What would that be? It is the fact that there is no direct way where is his life be leading.

He is now in the crossroads searching and choosing the right path, where he would be traveling.

I can see many potential Filipinos whom I think will make it, if they are just given the chance to shine. But because of these problems, they sometimes tend to be misled by all means.
But still, I know the Filipinos, they are very tough and strong, and I firmly believe that they will make their brightest spot in the limelight.

FILIPINOS...WHERE YOU GOI'N
