...mga larawan ng aming kuwento

May Hayskul na Kami....!

Datirati’y nagkakasya na lamang ang mga mamamayan ng Biton sa pagtanaw sa mga batang binabagtas ang mahabang baybayin patungo sa  Mataas na Paarang Danao sa bayan ng Bulan. Ang iba naman, sa murang gulang ay tinitiis na lamang ang mawalay sa mga magulang sa loob ng lingo o buwan maipagpatuloy lamang ang kanilang pag-aaral sa bayan ng magallanes, habang ang iba ay nawalan na ng pag-asang makatuntong pa sa paaralang sekundarya at piniling tumulong na lamang sa kanilang mga magulang sa paghahanapbuhay sa. bukid at dagat.

Ang kalagayang ito ang nagbunsod sa mga mamamayan ng barangay Biton na kumilos upang magtatag ng hayskul dito.

Sinimulan sa isang signature campaign sa pangunguna ni Ginoong Lito Oriarte, kumilos ang Sangguniang Barangay sa pamumuno ni PB Rosal Apuya sa tulong na rin ni ginang Muriel Lorica, ang principal ng Biton Elementary School.. Agad silang nagsagawa ng resolusyong inihain sa Sangguniang Bayan ng Magallanes upang isulong ang pagtatatag ng paaralan at matulungan na rin ang sangguniang Barangay ng Biton sa gastusin sa pagbili ng school site.

Bukod dito, nagkaloob na rin ng tulong  pinansiyal si Congressman Salvador Escudero.

Sino ang makakalimot sa mga boluntaryong pagtulong ng halos lahat ng mga mamamayan ng Biton sa pagtatayo ng gusali ng paaralan habang ang Sangguniang Bayan at Sangguniang Barangay, katulong sina Gng. Lorica at Ginoong Ross Gime ay inaasikaso na ang mga kailangang dokumento para sa pagtatatag ng paaralan.

Bumuhos pa ang mga tulong pinansiyal at mga gamit mula sa mga magulang at pribadong mamamayan. Hanggang sa pagbubukas ng klase  noong Hunyo ay tuluyang nabigyang katuparan ang pangarap ng mga taga-Biton...sabay-sabay silang nagdiwang sa kagalakan…”May hayskul na kami…!

Unang nagging boluntaryong mga guro naming sina G.Ryan G. Gime, Cyrus Blanza, at Gng. Roxanne D. Sacupon sa pamumuno ni G.Ross G. Gime na ipinadala ng DepEd bilang Teacher-In-charge.

Sa pagdaan ng panahon makalipas ang halos dalawang buwan, kasabay ng paglipat nina G.ryan gime at Gng.Sacupon sa ibang paaralan ay ang pagdating naman ng aming mga bagong guro na sina Bb. Aily Carrillo at Bb. Jazmin J.Hibay.

Nasa unang taon pa lamang ang Mataas na Paaralang Biton subalit marami nang pagbabago ang nagaw nito saaming buhay. Ang aming mga magulang ay walang pagsidlan ang tuwa sa tuwing umuuwi kami sa bahay mula sa eskwela. Ang mga taong aming dinaraanan ay pawing nakangiti na animoy nasasabik na sa mga darating na pag-unlad

Labis ang aming pasasalamat sa lahat ng nangarap at kumilos para sa amin at sa aming kinabukasan. Sa pagkakatatag ng aming  paaralan, isang pangako rin ang aming ibinibigkas tuwina para sa kanila…”HINDI NAMIN KAYO BIBIGUIN”…

Ipinagkaloob ng DepEd regional Office ang permiso sa pagbubukas ng First Year sa ating paaralan noong Setyembre 14, 2010. Ito ang napagkasunduang gawing “Araw ng Pagkakatatag” ng ating mutyang paaralan.

The Real me….

Who am I? What am I?

I AM A STUDENT

                

I study...I study a lot. I seldom play. When I fell like playing, I just get my pen, notebooks and books as my toys. I do my projects, my assignments, even if it is late in the evening. I participate in class discussions. I answer my teachers’ questions, written or oral. I think  in times I don’t know the answer. I study because it’s the reason why I go to school…

                 Its really easy to study IF YOU DO IT RIGHT.

I AM A FRIEND

I HAVE MANY FRIENDS. We Treat each other like sisters. But I don’t know why I got mad at them sometimes. There are times when I don’t feel like seeing them.or t alking to them. But I realized there is no such thing as perfect. So whenever our friendship is challenged, I see to it that before the day ends, everything is fixed.

I AM A WRITER

I write. But I don’t consider myself yet as a versatile writer because writing is crucial. I am a budding writer, maybe because I’m just starting how to write the journalistic way.. It’s not easy though I’m trying. I try to write articles which I consider “good enough” for a first year student like me. But I won’t settle for just being like that. I will strive to be the writer I want to be...and I believe I can make it...someday.

THE REAL ME

I’m simple yet behind my mysterious face is life’s problems I face. But I strive to solve them young as I am. A young girl with many questions to answer. Why bother. I know this is just part of growing up. So I just smile, laugh, frown and cry. I am an ordinary person trying to be myself...just like everybody else….

ELiPSIS...

Bagsak na Naman Ako...Bakit?

 Jonna B. Hallig

 ________________________________________________________________________________

74, 73, 72, 70…! Bagsak na naman ako...Bakit? Ano na naman itong nagawa ko? “Hala, ikaapat na markahan na, baka hindi na ako makabawi...huhuhu…” himutok ng isa sa aking mga kamag-aral.

                 Bakit nga ba tayo bumabagsak? Dati-rati sina ate at kuya, papasok-pasok lang, walang gaanong ginagawa sa iskul pero pumapasa naman sila. Ngayon, bakit lagi na lang mabababa ang ating mga marka?

                 “Maam, may I go out...uuwi po muna ako saglit”. Ito ang kadalasang alibay ng mga boys. Kunyari lalabas lang sandalI subalit hindi na sila bumabalik. Minsan naman, papasok nga tapos matutulog lang naman sa klase. Antok sila dahil galing sa laot. Kadalasan, nagpapadala sila ng excuse letter dahil inutusan sila ng mga magulang nila na mag-kopra. Dagdag pa dito ang madalas na pagkukuwentuhan habang nagtatalakayan sa klase, hindi nakikinig. Ngayon, tayo ay nagtatanong...Bakit ako bagsak?

Ang mataas na marka ay nagpapakita na may natutunan tayo. Kung mababa o bagsak naman ang ating marka, alam na natin ang ibig sabihin noon.

“Project na naman?”...Ito ang karaniwang reaksiyon natin kapag nagbibigay ng proyekto ang ating mga guro. Tila ba nagrereklamo na tayo sa isiping tuwing markahan ay mayroon tayo nito. Tuloy ang iba, di na gumagawa nito. Tapos ngayon, magtatanong tayo, “bakit ako bagsak?”.

Ang proyekto ay output ng kung ano ang ating natutunan sa bawat markahan. Kung gayon, kapag wala tayong ipinasang proyekto, ibig sabihin wala tayong natutunan. Sa ganitong sitwasyon, wala tayong karapatang magtanong kung bakit tayo bumabagsak, di ba? Kung sana’y gumawa tayo ng proyekto, sana may sigurado na tayong 20-25 bahagdan ng marka natin. Huwag sana nating kalimutan na tayo ang gumagawa ng sarili nating marka. At ito ay para satin. Hindi ito para sa mga guro natin.

“Activities”...bakit ba kailangan pa nating sumali sa mga gawaing pangklase?Sabi ng iba, “Maglaro na lang tayo”. Kahit batid nating hindi maaaring ipagsawalang-bahala ang bagay na ito, ngunit patuloy pa rin tayo sa pagbabalewala dito.

Malaking bahagi ng ating marka ang pakikilahok. 30-50 porsyento ng ating marka ang dito nakasalalay. Sa mga gawain sa klase nakikita kung tayo ay interesadong matuto o kaya’y nagagamit na natin ang ating natutunan. Bakit ba kasi ayaw nating sumali sa mga gawaing pang-klase? Kapag nasanay na tayong makilahok, mas magiging madali na satin ang pakikiisa at pakikibahagi na sadyang kailangan natin sa mahaba pang tatahakin natin sa mundong ito ng pag-aaral.

At isa sa pinaka suliranin natin ay ang kawalan natin ng disiplina at kakulangan sa kagandahang asal.

Wala tayong inilalaang oras sa pagre-review. Hindi natin alam kung paano ibabaha-bahagi ang ating oras basi sa prayoridad.Wala tayong “study habit”. Mas inuuna pa natin ang mga bagay na sadyang walang maitutulong saating pag-aaral.

Kulang tayo sa pagkukusa at buluntaryong paggawa. Mas inuuna pa natin ang paghahanap-buhay na nakasanayan na nating ginagawa.

Ang ganitong sitwasyon ay nagpapatunay lamang na lubhang ang suliranin sa ating pagbagsak sa klase ay nasa sarili din natin.Nakakalungkot isipin. Parang wala rin tayong natutunang values mula sa ating mga magulang at mga guro. Tila ba walang silbi ang mga pangaral na ibinibigay satin ng ating mga guro. Pinakikinggan lamang natin sila sa kanang tainga at agad inilalabas ito sa kaliwa. Nakikinig tayo subalit di naming natin ginagawa.

Batid kong nauunawaan natin ang bawat salitang ibinibigkas ng ating mga guro at magulang, subalit sadyang likas na marahil satin ang pagiging matigas ang ulo.

Mahigit isang buwan na lamang ang nalalabi. Matatapos na natin ang unang antas sa hayskul. Lubhang kailangan na nating magbago kung nais nating pumasa sa lahat ng ating mga asignatura at makapagtapos ng walang problema sa hayskul.

Kailan tayo gigising. Kailan tayo magsisimula? Magtatanong na naman ba tayo kung bakit tayo bumabagsak?

Mag-isip ka kaibigan.

AMATEUR’S NOOK

 As my pen talks…

As my pen talks…

As my pen talks…

 _________________________________________________________________________________

I don’t know how to write. I don’t even know how to construct a good sentence. I just go to school and do the usual thing until the school decided to have a newsletter. At first I was so hesitant to join. I was bothered not to make it there. How could a first year student like me do such a challenging task? But with a curious heart, I took the qualifying test. There’s no harm in trying anyway. Until I woke up one day...I’m already a part of it. Yes, I am now a writer...an amateur one.

                 True enough, the life of a writer is not an ordinary one. The challenges are there. My first “baptism of fire” was when we joined the DSSPC. I was so shocked of the trainings in preparation for the battle. I thought I was unprepared knowing that the training was only for four days. As I started the rigid writing exercises with our adviser and with the help of our school head, I almost thought of giving up with all my outputs scratched out with red inks of comments and more. I thought, writing was really not my craft.

One busy day of December 2010, I unintentionally entered our school’s mini-library. No one was in sight as I look around, then a copy on The CNHS Herald displayed on the wall caught my attention. I sat down and started scanning pages of the said magazine.

One article that pleased me much was entitled “ Start with a scratch and be a writer”...After reading the article, one realization came to my mind…”no one really starts full and perfect...Every writer has to undergo the process of rejections until he becomes a seasoned one”…

With that, I found myself holding a pen and started writing. I submitted it to my English teacher. At first it was rejected for so many times that I had to do a lot of re-writing of my article until it was finally accepted. I felt so proud and started writing more…

As I continue writing for the first issue of our school paper, I found out that there are so many things I want to write. I want to express so many things in my mind. I want my classmates and my friends to know what I know and what they should know. I want to explain so many things through writing…

A simple person with few words I am, the power of my pen is all I need. I want my pen to talk for me. I want to prove that writing is not a waste of time...that writing can be a source of strength…

I want my readers to smile and say…” Keep on writing Cyril… you inspire us”

Now, I am not afraid of rejections for my articles...after all I know I am still in the process of sharpening my pen...I should really have to start with a scratch because I want to be a WRITER….

Black Knights Rule

This is the original sports page
 of the publication's first issue

                 The whites waned finally and gave up  in their race to the crown favoring the relentless rivals who showed authority in Volleybal (Boys),

Badminton (Singles and Doubles;Boys and Girls),  and in the Search for Mr. and Ms. Intramurals 2010.

Pangulong NOnoY

“PNOY” ang tawag sa kasalukuyang pangulo ng ating bansa na si Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III. Matalino’t mayaman, maabilidad at magaling magsalita. Mga kakayahang kailangan sa pagpapatakbo ng isang organisasyon. Mga kakayahang wala pa ako.

                  Ako ay pangulo din. Sa katunayan, ako ang kauna-unahang pangulo ng Supreme Student Government ng bagong tatag na hayskul ng Biton. Ako ay bagitong pangulo. “Nonoy” kumbaga dahil bata pa kasi ako sa larangan ng pamamalakad ng isang samahan. Hindi ko inaasahan ang responsibilidad na ito, subalit dahil sa taas ng tiwala nila saakin ay sinisikap kong ibigay ang lahat ng makakaya ko. Mahirap...naroong naitatanong ko sa aking sarili kung kaya ko na ba talaga? Magagawa ko ba ito ng tama?

“Nonoy” pa nga talaga ako, kasi madalas pa rin akong madapa, mapagalitan, at masigawan, hindi ng aking mga guro, kundi ng mga kapwa ko mag-aaral na may sariling batas at patakarang sila lang ang dapat masunod.  Minsan, naisip ko nang sumuko...isuko ang mga munting pangarap ko para sa mahal kong paaralang ito. Subali’t naiisip ko rin na paano na ang iba ko pang mga kamag-aral na umaasa saakin. Naisip ko, mas nakararami silang sumusunod at umaasa, at nangangarap ng maganda para sa aming paaralan.

Mahirap talagang maging president, ngunit masarap dahil marami kang matututunan, makikilalang ibang tao, at madaragdagan ng maraming ulit ang iyong karanasan. Bilang pangulo, hindi pwedeng “pa-bandying-bandying”, paupo-upo, o pa-relaks-relaks lang. Dapat lagging malakas ang loob at laging handa sa anumang gawain sa tawag ng iyong katungkulan.

Sa loob ng labis walong buwan kong panunungkulan, wala pa ako halos nagawang pagbabago sa mga mag-aaral at sa paaralan. Subalit ang paaralan at ang SSG ay marami nang naidulot na pagbabago sa aking pagkatao na maituturing kong malaking ambag sa pag-unlad mula sa pagiging dating ako.

Sa mura kong edad, mas umigting ang aking pagnanasa para sa isang makabuluhang hinaharap. Dulot na rin siguro sa maraming pagkakataong ako’y nakaharap sa iba’t ibang klase ng tao sa lipunan mula nang ako ay maging SSG President, lumawak ang aking paniniwala. Unti-unti ko ngayong tinataglay ang mga katangiang mababakas sa ating butihing pangulo ng Pilipinas. Naisip ko, mahigit tatlong taon pa akong mamamalagi sa aking mutyang paaralan...lubhang mahabang panahon pa para maisakatuparan ko ang mga pangarap ko sa aking paaralan…

. Sa gabay ng SSG at ng paaralan, batid ko ring hindi ako maliligaw ng landas. At sa takdang panahon, gigising akong tuwid ang paningin, taas-noong sasaludo sa aking  bagitong simula...ang pagiging “Nonoy” sa pamumuno. Dito ko huhugutin ang aking lakas at inspirasyon para sa mithing pagbabago ng paaralan.

Ako’y “Nonoy” man sa paningin nila, subalit batid kong matututo rin akong maglakad, tumakbo, at humarap sa mga hamon ng pagiging “PNOY”ng matututo rin akong maglakad, tumakbo, at humarap sa mga hamon ng pagiging “PNOY”
