Community holds anti-RH, divorce forum A
crowd of more than two thousand high school and college students and faculty from Saint Joseph College of Sindangan, Inc., townsfolk, members of faithbased groups, and the clergy converged for the Walk for Life and forum at SJCSI Gym, June 29. The participants carried placards with slogans denouncing the reproductive health and divorce bills as they went around the town center at 9 a.m. The pro-lifers then proceeded to the SJCS gymnasium for the program and forum with the theme ―Come Holy Spirit.‖ Richard Aliser, a religious studies teacher, led the Rosary for Life and the praying of the Oratio Imperata. During the forum, Msgr. Jose R. Manguiran, D.D., tackled on the stand of the church on the controversy brought by the proposed RH and divorce bills. Jan Louenn Lumanta, an economics instructor at Dipolog Medical College Foundation, shared his opinions why many
members of Congress are eager to pass the controversial bill. According to Lumanta, corruption in the government happens through overpriced contraceptives; and that the bill is physically, emotionally, and spiritually detrimental to the Filipinos. Dr. April Lopez dealt with the side effects of artificial methods to prevent pregnancy. Two families also shared their experiences in testimonies to the value of life and family. Msgr. Enrico Montano, VF, parish priest of St. Joseph Parish of Sindangan, concluded the event with a prayer. The other participants came from Siayan, Leon Postigo, and Brgy. Siare, Sindangan. (Julius R. Bulac)
New building inaugurated
T
he recently constructed six-classroom two-story extension building was officially blessed by Msgr. Jose R. Manguiran, D.D., June 29. To address the shortage of classrooms as the enrolment increased during the last three school years and to accommodate enrollees of the new course offerings, the Saint Joseph College of Sindangan, Inc. hired the services of Engr. Ramil Joyohoy to construct the building. The construction began in Feb. 18 and was completed on May 22. During the inaugural ceremony, Carmencita V. Samios Uy, dean of the College of Commerce; and Alfreda B. Calamba, Ed.D., executive vice-president, cut the ceremonial ribbon. The affair was also graced by members of the clergy and the faculty. In attendance were the
Rev. Nathaniel Denlaoso, Richard Aliser, Juditha Bacusmo, Dean Robinson Berhay, Ma. Fatima Calizar, Dorothy Deleña, Beverly Dunque, Ranie Jamila, Engr. Leonor Labadan, Ladylou Mariano, Michael Masalta, Marie Pher Piñero, Jessril Ruales, Rechel Sabandal, Carol Salimbagat, and Elizabeth Soledad. Originally proposed to be the classrooms for the accounting technology and accountancy classes, the building is also being used for the other service courses. The six classrooms are equipped with ceiling fans, whiteboard, and chalkboard. Some of the evening classes are still held at the high school campus. (Kindness W. Dagondong)

The Staff. Our paper.
The RH Bill Controversy
Francis Joseph T. Fuertes
T
he birth of our student publication marks a place in the timeline of our college. The maiden issue of our paper is the realization of the long-cherished aspiration of the student leaders, the faculty, and administration for the college students to have our own publication.
Editorial
For the Josephian students, this symbolizes the free exchange of ideas, opinions, and other creative pursuits among the students in print and digital media without the threat of suspension, expulsion, or disciplinary actions from the administration; and guarantees that our freedom of expression, press freedom, and students‘ democratic rights are protected, as mandated by R.A. 7079—the Campus Journalism Act of 1991. Even though ironic that the initiative to put up a student publication came from the administration and faculty, the birth of our student publication was made possible by a small number of students who underwent the qualifying examinations to compose the editorial board and staff. However, like parents who are excited of their first-born child, we just could not decide what to name our brainchild. We toyed with names likes gazette, journal, chronicle, review, herald, etc.; but we finally picked a name that best represents the college, our patron saint, and the uniquely Josephian identity. After the high school re-launched their paper as El Obrero and put up Ang Manggagawa, another publication in Filipino, we came to a decision that The Staff would be an appropriate and consistent tribute to Saint Joseph The Worker. As the legend goes, St. Joseph, spouse of Mary, was chosen from among other men by the blossoming of his staff like a lily—the image found in the core of our college logo. The first few hurdles for our student-run publication have been overcome. Our paper now faces the challenges of finding writers, artists, and computer-savvy students who are committed to write, illustrate, design, and manage the publication despite our full course load and involvement in other co-curricular activities. We may write about the goings-on of our day-to-day student life, but the future of our publication is already written. Then are we not doomed if we fail what has been laid before us? Long live campus press freedom!

Message
ill your paper with the breathings of your heart. —William Wordsworth, 1812
With every new development, my heart and soul keep getting younger. I am truly elated that this student publication has become a reality. This paper is a creation not only of the mind but also of the heart. The fears, sweat, passion, and especially love were the fuel that fired up the imagination of the writers and adviser. The mind is fueled by the passion of the heart. As with any journey in life, this is only the beginning. Nonetheless, as Armstrong puts it, this is not only a small step but also a giant leap towards something great. To be metaphorical about it, I believe that this paper is a seed of a giant tree; truly, the genesis of greater things to come. The good thing is that the first step has already been taken. The journey has begun. Let us continue journeying and doing great for SJCSI. I warmly congratulate then the people behind this success. Sometimes, the tendency is for people to doubt about doing a great task. But life is about taking chances and doing the things that ought to be done. Little by little, a vision could become a reality. This paper is a perfect example of proving to people that Saint Joseph College of Sindangan, Inc. can do even what is believed to be impossible. Kudos to everyone behind this success! It is with that belief that I strongly urge every Josephian to contribute to the welfare of our college. Let us do things for the betterment of the institution. Let us be united in a cause and let us carry SJCSI above our shoulders to even greater heights. And we shall not be afraid because we have the guidance of our Lord. My warmest congratulations! God bless us all. 25 November 2011
Reproductive Health Bill: Anti-life, anti-Filipinos
T
he Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) says the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill is not just a Catholic issue but ―a major attack on authentic human values and on Filipino cultural values regarding human life that all of us have cherished since time immemorial.‖ The pastoral letter entitled ―Choosing Life, Rejecting the RH Bill‖ also reiterates the call of the Catholic Church against the controversial bill, saying that it is anti-life and anti-Filipino. ―Advocates contend that the RH Bill promotes reproductive health. The RH Bill certainly does not. It does not protect the health of the sacred human life that is being formed or born. The very name ‗contraceptive‘ already reveals the anti-life nature of the means that the RH Bill promotes. These artificial means are fatal to human life, either preventing it from fruition or actually destroying it,‖ part of the four-page pastoral letter reads. Likewise, the CBCP contradicts the claims of RH supporters that contraception will stop overpopulation, which results to poverty. ―Our own government statistical office has concluded that there is no overpopulation in the Philippines but only the over-concentration of population in a number of urban centers… . The causes of our poverty are flawed philosophies of development, misguided economic policies, greed, corruption, social inequities, lack of access to education, poor economic and social services, poor infrastructure, etc.,‖ the letter says. The bill proposes for a large-scale government funding on artificial contraceptives.
Commentary
Second parents
W
e spent most of our childhood days and teenage years at school. While out of home, our teachers were our constant companions who taught, inspired, and guided us when we were learning the basics, discovering our talents, and needing some advice. That is why teachers are not called ―second parents‖ for no reason. The doctrine in loco parentis, Latin for ―in the place of a parent‖ refers to the legal responsibility of a person or organization to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent. It allows institutions such as colleges and schools to act in the best interests of the students as they see fit, although not allowing what would be considered violations of the students‘ freedom. This doctrine can provide a non-biological parent to be given the legal rights and responsibilities of a biological parent if they have held themselves out as the parent. In our educational system, in loco parentis is well observed in the elementary and secondary schools. However, it seems to be still in full force in the colleges and universities because they attempt to safeguard their students. Many institutions enacted controversial rules governing dress codes, including hairstyles, jewelry, etc., and ―morality‖—
all in the name of protecting their students and the reputation of the institution. Terror. Strict. Out of style. These are the common impressions we have of our instructors during the first meeting every semester. If we do not like them, we transfer to other classes. Worse, we stop attending the class because of the teacher factor. It is normal for us to be ―afraid‖ when we have the feeling that our teachers are like ―monsters.‖ Some teachers create an impression of fear and disinterest. But as the semester goes on, we realize that they are not what we thought of them before. They can be accommodating, considerate, and inspiring. Have you ever heard what William Arthur Ward once said? ―The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.‖

Here are some quotes about teachers as second parents: We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.—John Sculley The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called ―truth.‖ —Dan Rather If you promise not to believe everything your child says happens at school, I will promise not to believe everything he says happens at home.—Anonymous Teacher

Beauty + Purpose
T
he Supreme Student Council organized the Mr. and Miss Intra Meet 2011 as a search for beauty and brains during the week-long sporting competitions and festival of the literary, musical, and terpsichorean skills.
Venustas
Sheena Marie S. Calvo ashneel1989@yahoo.com
Deodito C. Tantano Jr. and Lesley N. Carvajal coveted those titles (as there were no crowns for pageants held during the intramural games). However, the night‘s fab and glam were meddled with various issues, racy comments, dissenting opinions especially that one college grouping won both titles and a runner-up, another college settled for the back-toback first runners-up, while the other college claimed only one spot.
In order to get some statistics, though not through scientific means but by random survey, The Staff handed out questionnaires. Originally, the survey was not for this purpose but to get a picture of the Josephians‘ perceptions of the institution, etc. When the controversy erupted, we included the question if students were in favor of the pageant‘s results. It did not come out as a surprise that the respondents from the accounting technology and information technology departments rallied behind the victory of their muses and escorts. It was a resounding 100 percent. The business administration students were obviously not as delighted with 17 percent only approving the outcome. Both first runner-up places went to one of their muses and escorts. Moreover, the education students with one of their muses landing second runner-up, expressed disapproval at 78 percent. Other factors in question were the judges and the manner of judging. Who comprised the board? Were they corporate sponsors with vested interests or affiliations
with particular contestants? Which of the criteria should be given emphasis? Was it primarily a beauty contest? A combination of beauty and intelligence? Should there be a preliminary elimination before the second question-and-answer portion for the top three or five? Then how much should that crucial answer weigh in the final ranking? Beauty has different facets. There is the beauty of appearance, beauty of the heart, and the beauty of the mind. These must come together to produce titleholders who will be admired by their fellow students in and out of the campus for their beauty, intelligence, and involvement in the outreach program. Beauty contests in the campus can be elevated into pageants with a purpose. After the hype is over, the winners fulfill a year-long term dedicated to helping others. They can be involved in the various activities of the student council or become volunteers of the Campus Ministry. After all, there is more to beauty than meets the eye.
Press Freedom
A
free press is the symbol of a free people. In fact, the Philippines ranks high among the nations in the world with free press despite the number of journalists being killed while in the line of duty. Twenty years ago, Philippine Congress passed RA 7079 or the ―Campus Journalism Act of 1991.‖ The law provides for the promotion of campus journalism in the three levels of the educational system. The student publication is no longer a novelty at Saint Joseph College of Sindangan, Inc. A few years back, some students organized to publish their own paper but there has been no trace of what happened since then. Thanks to the enthusiasm of about 20 like-minded students who went through fair and competitive qualifying examination in June, the new editorial board and staff was formed then. As mandated by the law, the adviser was selected by the administration. However, his functions will be limited to technical guidance only. The inclusion of a technical adviser is actually at the option of the editorial board. A lot remains to be done. Editorial policies have to be drafted by the student journalists. One of which is how publication
will be operated and managed, taking into account pertinent laws as well as the college policies. The said guidelines shall determine the frequency of the publication, the manner of selecting articles and features and other similar matters. Even the funds of the publication, from collection to safekeeping of funds, shall be managed by the editorial board. The law also guarantees that subscription fees collected by the school administration shall be released automatically to the student publication. But of what use is the freedom of the press if we do not have the freedom to think? Every student is entitled to his own opinions and has the freedom of expression. But sometimes in the academe, where hierarchy is highly regarded and the distinction between instructor and students is well defined, speaking out one‘s mind becomes a privilege only for those courageous ones. In the classrooms, students
