Dahil ang pakikibaka'y higit pa sa isang milyong 'Mahal Kita'

ang nais ko lamang ay paglingkuran ang bayan...

ang mga mamamayang sinasaktan ng pagsisinungaling

panghuhuthot ng mga garapal na politikot mga negosyante

naghahasik lamang ng dahas

pinapatay hindi lamang sila, kundi pati tayo

mahal kita, kaya ginagawa ko ito,

mahal natin sila, kaya tayo naririto.

buhay mo ay buhay para sa kanila

buhay ko para sa kanila at sa atin.

ang pag-ibig ko sa kanila ay isang pag-ibig

na higit pa sa burgis at makasariling pagmamahalan.

sana'y maintindihan ito ng lahat.

dahil hindi kita minsan lamang inibig,

hindi kita inibig dahil ika'y isang prinsesa

hindi dahil sa kayamanan na pwede nating makuha

hindi para sa mga sarili lamang kundi

mahal kita noon pa man.

hindi lamang isang minuto,

kundi oras-oras, araw-araw.

daang taon pa man ang lilipas,

tayo, kasama ang sambayanan,

lilikha ng isang pagmamahalan na makabayan,makamasa at hindi makasarili.

samahan mo ako, samahan natin sila

at sabay tayong tutulong sa kanila

tulad ng ginawa ni Hesus at

ng mga martyr at bayaning nabuhay at namatay

para sa isang lipunang hindi

makasarili, hindi mapang-api

kundi, isang lipunang puno

ng pagmamahal sa bayan, sa kapwa,

at sa tunay na kalayaan at hustisya.

mahal na mahal kita.

at alam mo iyon.

Ang Edukasyon sa kasalukuyan (Ateneo de Davao University True Story)

Image
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

Miseducation of a Filipino by Renato Constantino

THE MISEDUCATION OF THE FILIPINO Prof. Renato Constantino Education is a vital weapon of a people striving for economic emancipation, political  independence and cultural renaissance. We are such  a people. Philippine education therefore  must produce Filipinos who are aware of their country's problems, who understand the basic  solution to these problems, and who care enough to have courage to work and sacrifice for their  country's salvation. Nationalism in Education In recent years, in various sectors of our society, there have been nationalist stirrings which were  crystallized and articulated by the late Claro M. Recto, there were jealous demands for the  recognition of Philippine sovereignty on the Bases  question.  There were appeals for the  correction of the iniquitous economic relations between the Philippines and the United States. For a time, Filipino businessmen and industrialists rallied around the banner of the FILIPINO  FIRST policy, and variou
