Sa Ngalan ng Pakikibaka

"Dili mi musugot anang K+12!" "Kalisod na sa kinabuhi, mahal ang mga palaliton ug wala nay kwarta si mama." "Unsa man na si Noynoy oi, unta gitan.aw niya atong kahimtang busa siya magbuot-buot" "Kuya, dili man mao ang solusyon, kundili, dungagan nila atong klasrums ug facilities." "Dili na gani Libre ang edukasyon, dungagan pagpalisod-lisod ani." "Kuya, kailan tayo magrarally? Sama kami para makatulong din kami" "Libre at Dekalidad na edukasyon, yan ang solusyon kuya sa problema hindi K12." "Kuya, kami lahat ay tutulong sa inyo. Kahit gaano pa kami kabusy, para sa mga estudyante, tutulong kami abot ng aming makakaya" These are some of the testimonies I will never forget from this inspiring school in Davao City. Who said that people from public schools are not good? Who said that students in public schools are not intelligent? Who said that they don't deserve respect and honor? If you wil

Dear Abon and Fisda, Here's the second and last part of my story. Since that day, we started communicating through text. And sometimes we call each other.  I couldn't help blushing whenever I get to hear her. Whenever I sees her in campus, I'm still nervous to be near her. Or even say "hi" to her. I don't know, maybe I'm still a torpe. There were instances that we crossed paths, but I hesitated to say hi. But, I had to be brave. I must face my fears. Although, she's not the one I feared, but something else. I feared of hurting her or being hurt. But it's part of our lives. It was  September 14, 2010. I really had to meet her in person. Our friendship should be somewhat, formal.  Yes, it happened in the Gazebo area again. But it wasn't planned at all. I was conversing with my friend, since I saw him near the "Bro" benches. When I was about to sit down, EGAD! She's sitting behind us. I mean, meters away from us, but hence

This was forwarded by a friend of mine, asking me if I may post this on my blog. Names are changed for security purposes. Dear Abon at Fisda, I'd like to share this story of mine to all your readers out there. This is no ordinary romantic story or some sort, but an experience worth reading. So, I hope you would post this on your blog. It was a simple yet sunny day in Ateneo de Davao University. You could say it was something usual or just a normal school day. For most people that is, except for me. I say, it was a day worth remembering for the rest of my life. Or should I say, an Unforgettable Enchanting Day . I'm currently on my fourth year in Ateneo. So, I could say, a semester left for me to graduate. But, due to some financial matters, I need to stop for a semester. I am Soji,  a typical and average student in Ateneo. I'm a cheerful yet, very funny person, based on my friends testimonies. I couldn't agree me. But, I hear less from them stating that I'm s

Education is a right not a privilege. Sa ngayon, ang dekalidad edukasyon sa pilipinas ay unti-unting nahuhulog isang pribilehiyo na lamang ng mga taong may pera. Ang iba naman ay naghihirap sa pagtatrabaho upang makapagtapos lamang sa pag-aaral. Ngunit, kung hindi ako nagkakamali, nakasaad sa ating pambansang batayang batas na ang gobyerno ay responsable sa pagsisiguro na mabigyan ng libre at dekalidad na edukasyon ang lahat ng mamamayan ng bansa. Ngunit kabaliktaran ang nangyayari. Naging isang pangarap na mahirap makamit na lamang ang libre at dekalidad na edukasyon. Noon pa man ay nagiging palaisipan na ito para sakin. Maaari bang magkaroon ng libre at dekalidad na edukasyon? Mula nursery hanggang kolehiyo, nasa isang pampribadong eskwelahan ako nakapag-aral. Masasabi ko na dekalidad ang edukasyon tinatamasa ko. Ngunit, kinakailangan bang bayaran ng malaki upang magkaroon ng isang dekalidad na edukasyon? Naguguluhan na ako noon pa man. Akala ko ba Libre

A silence It was a night that I've never expected It was a night that slowly ended Every moment then was a blessing for me For I've met at last the person that I always see He asked our names and I was asked the last He came to me and I thought he wouldn't ask I could sense his perplexing stares But then we had to go, I took a last glimpse of him, hope he doesn't know It rained heavily one night and I wasn't able to go home I was accompanied by my friend, for I don't want to be alone He appeared just then and the heavy rain just end He went with us to the jeepney stop and that's when he went with me in abrupt That was a night that opened a beginning of a Friendship We were together most of the time From morning till afternoon he was as if mine But I never thought of what more we could've sought “FRIENDS” that's all we could be For I know he has someone else and it will never be me I was just his friend who's always there for him But as time
