Padilla tops CPA board exams Dr. Ferdinand N. Cortez
“What is the highest secret to victory and peace? To will what God wills, and strike a league with destiny.”
This short quote must have been what have summarized the moment when Richie Jackson T. Padilla bagged the notch in the recently concluded October CPA Board Exams. His name will now be aligned with the other Number 1’s in USL: Engr. Fernando Verbo; GE, Engr. Nazario Galang; GE, Engr. Victoriano Abana, ECE, and the rest whose names were already etched in the history of USL. Last November 3, a motorcade honored Padilla and other passers in the CPA, EE and GE board passers. The motorcade has been a tradition to let the community know of an achievement in the different board exams. A mass was celebrated for
them, and a testimonial dinner at Pensione Roma. The toastmaster in the dinner was Dr. James Pattaguan, VP for Administration. Invocation was given by Fr. Art Arnaiz, CICM, and Dr. Venus Bunagan, the jubilant Dean of the SBAA opened the program. Dr. Delailah Valencia, VP for Academics, lauded the achievement in her message. Fr. Renillo H. Sta. Ana, University Chaplain awarded certificates to the passers. In his testimonial speech, Padilla said calmly: “... yesterday, it was just a dream ...a dream I could not realize ...a dream which is far beyond reach ...a dream which I never thought it would come true...”
“From the very first day the review that we discovered that graduates of the UP Campuses are our classmates, to the day that we found out we are at par with them, today. There were many events that as I remember one by one, all I can say is that everything went to their proper places at the right time...” Richie Padilla thanked the support of his family, friends but above all else, he thanked fervently his professors and the USL Administration.
In a separate interview, he said there were offers to him already in Manila, but he would like to take up law. He said he is very thankful for the support his family had shown. He disclosed that he was inspired by a song, WIN. Truly, he said, he had won. The proud parents accompanied Richie in the testimonial dinner. USL has another notch in her barrel. “One may know how to gain a victory, and knows how to use it properly.”

F YOU ENCOUNTER ONE BOOK that could dicotomize pride and prejudice, it is that book. (Same title) Pride. False Pride. Maybe it is human. Maybe it is not. The aural meaning is different in the meaning within a certain context. Maybe there is noble pride? I was tasked to train teachers to be proficient in English. This was in relation to the University’s effort to be having teachers and personnel to be proficient in the language. Well, it was what we had been doing in CHED. At least a dozen times I had been sent to the same training, even more rigid. My approach was laced with motivational devices. I even made use of Luther Vandross’ Dance With My Father. Every meeting for the whole duration of summer, there were laughters and plenty of surprises. However, not all completed the required attendance. The teachers were there, alright, but the apprehension was in their eyes. (Or nonchalance?) They may be expecting that I have a shovel, and all I have to do is to open their mouth and shove “English,” that’s all. But the module I had was non prescriptive. It was patterned from Dr. Isabel Pefianco-Martin’s module. That is, goad the teachers to speak English without fear. In due time, they realized I was not teaching them how to use the language. I was merely coaxing them to acquire, and to do it without prior restraint. There are only a few errors, for speaking if different from writing, though in principle, what you write is what you speak. I happen to come across the same experience as that of Isabel martin, in her commentary in the Philippine Daily Inquirer, April 12, 2008, “Fearing English in the
Philippines,” only hers is on an extensive and broader point: Another reason why English should not be feared is that the language is not owned by one country or one race as the Filipinos believe. She said, there are instances wherein she hears somebody speak English when drunk, and her doctor talks in Tagalog if he comes to know that she is an English teacher. After the first batch, I notice the teachers using the language with ease. More aggressive are the personnel, who shift to English the moment I speak with them. Language has a life of its own, and using it does not really harm us. It does not make us less a Filipino. Further, I told them we really need to have the hang of it because we are all teachers in the final analysis, and we are all earning our daily bread. Maybe, I told them, just maybe, time will come you get the hang of it, and use it, not forgetting your own language. There are those teachers whose attitude is “I know all,” so what? Pride. A pride that they never understood at all. There is no monopoly of knowledge, and pretending to know it all is a pitfall. There are those who did not attend at all. I wondered how they felt if their students got absent, or they are not aware that they are also being judged by their students. There must be bad teaching. There is bad teaching when: Most of the students get absent. They dislike you. Students have too little freedom in learning. There is not enough motivation for learning: students do not know why they have to learn the particular things in their curriculum. Sometimes it is not even clear why one learns a whole subject! Students do not get enough personal attention. Explanations in some textbooks are too short or too technical, use too little examples and in general are so difficult to understand to page 07

KALEIDOSCOPE
USL Newsletter/2nd Semester 03
Dr. James Pattaguan
ATER IS LIFE! ANG tubig ay buhay! Water is the essential component of all living things. Whether ani mals or plants, the need for water cannot be discounted. It sustains life. It sustains us. Life began in water and, as such, it is the basic component of every living cell. Water acts as a medium for important life processes and chemical reactions, and transports food and waste products. Agriculture makes use of it as a basic input for crops and livestock. Industry as well uses it in most all industrial processes. It is needed for the manufacturing or processing of ores, textiles, chemicals, paper, food, etc. Water is needed as a solvent, as a medium, as a cooling agent, as a cleaning agent. All of these uses of water points to one basic truth. Water is fundamental to many aspects of life– our health, our economy, our social and community life, our recreation and our natural heritage. Indeed, water is the most vital resource for human survival. But while this is so, it is nonetheless the most abused among all. Allow me to share some of the abuses that you and I have made with water. Think of the thousands of gallons that go to watering golf courses, in addition to the hundreds of thousands more needed to sustain agriculture and the increasing demand of a ballooning Filipino population. Think of the very homes of Filipinos. Think about our personal practices. Do we use a basin when we wash our face or our hands. How about in taking a bath? How much water is needed if we use showers. How much water goes to leakages? Or worse, how much water is stolen from illegally tapped sources. It may seem an exaggeration, but I must say, we have put our waters and systems to the limits. Nakalulunos isipin, na ganito tayo sa paggamit ng tubig. As water has become a stuff that seems virtually inexhaustible based on the noted
abuses, I call on everyone to think for its conservation and preservation because I am afraid that sooner or later, water will not be able to sustain our population if we continue to use it in a manner we have been accustomed to do. We cannot hope that our water sources will be so abundant for long. Hence, I call on everyone to take responsibility. Today we join many water sources centers in their unrelenting efforts to protect our watershed in order to sustain the demands of the present and the future. I have spoken, our leaders have spoken, the world as well has spoken, let us be responsible users of water. Today, the world oversees watershed as one of the great reservoirs to ensure sustainability. To this date, many water districts spend some of its income if not a great percentage of it, to protect our water sources. Watersheds are considered to be the most ecologically practical unit for managing water since its impact are felt at the watershed level, rather than at the level of identified political boundaries. I laud the Tuguegarao Water District, our own water administrator, for putting premium to watershed protection. Why do we need to protect our watershed? Most water administrators acknowledge that watershed-based source protection that ensures the quality and quantity of ground and surface water, are influenced by the ecological integrity of the watershed. By maintaining, improving or restoring the health, diversity and function of key natural features that perform a hydrologic function (e.g., wetlands, forested lands), water resources within a watershed can be protected or enhanced. Therefore to enhanceamd and to page 08

WATERSHED AND DRINKING WATER: Our Responsibility
USL President presents paper in Phuket, Thailand One of the discussants in gender gap
by Dr. Ferdinand N. Cortez
A
fter the visit of the Vice chancellor of Universiti Utara Malaysia, Y. Bhg. Tan Sri Dr. Nordin Kardi last summer, Dr. Rosalinda Valdepenas, USL President was invited to be a discussant in the Regional Convention in Phuket, Thailand with the theme: “ Scholarship, Virtue, Service: Enhancing Student Development.” Said academic endeavor was espoused by other topics like, Experiential Learning, Developing Leadership Talents in the Universities, Helping High Risk Students and Gender Gap in Higher Education.
Fellow presenter is Lt. Col Professor Dr. Abdul Razak Chik, Academics and International. The globe trotting President started off by discussing the Gender Gap in the Philippines. “There is no occasion for women to consider themselves subordinate or inferior to men, or men inferior to women. The history of women is the history of the continued and universal oppression of one sex by the other. The emancipation of women is her restoration to equal rights and privileges with men”, the president said. “I was requested to share with you this morning the topic on gender gap in higher education particularly as experienced in the Philippine setting. Needless to say, gender gap per se, has been a debate over centuries as to who holds the stronghold of dominion. The gender gap, which kept on nagging the sensibilities of the world, and at the workplace, has for quite sometime persisted as an issue. The debate, fortunately, is almost over, since gender superiority is rapidly
subsiding as an issue. Today, man should not walk ahead of a woman, nor behind a woman. Rather, they should walk side by side with each other. It should be accepted that a man and a woman, by nature, complement and supplement each other. To guide you in my sharing, I shall briefly relate a glimpse of our history in the Philippines then appraise you on our current Global Gap Index 2007 and finally, my main discussion on Gender Gap in Higher Education: Philippine Scenario giving some answers particularly on the following questions: 1. What are the course preferences of college male and female students in the Philippines? 2. What related literatures say why there is a gender gap in course or career choices? 3. What are the programs of the Philippine government that would alleviate the gender gap in career choices? The Philippines had been under

three colonizers: the Americans, Japanese and Spaniards. Spain ruled over the Philippines for more than 300 years, and in that span of time, women had only two choices: to enter a religious convent, or be confined in homes. They were not allowed to take active roles in the government nor in the Church, much less pursue higher degrees in the University. Today is an entirely different picture – the Filipinas, the women in the Philippines, are emancipated, as hopefully, the rest of the women in the world are. The Philippine Constitution was amended in 1987 after the successful termination, through “people’s power”, of the twenty years of a Presidential dictatorship, to pave the way for more participatory politics and

governance. The Constitution recognizes the equality between men and women, and the right of marginalized groups, particularly the poor, to development and quality life. Towards the end of the eighties, the Philippines embarked on the tedious process of integrating the gender and development (GAD) approach into development plans, programs as well as organizational structures and policies.
empowerment in my country is on the rise.”
Responsive to the issue on gender sensitivity, the Philippines is one of the few countries in the world that has adopted a policy (GAD Budget Policy, 1995) that requires all government agencies to set aside at least 5 percent of their funds to achieve the objectives of their respective gender plans.

That today we have the second lady President of the Philippines, Her Excellency President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, and modesty aside, yours truly, as the first lay woman President of the CICM owned schools and universities, is a public attestation that women
The president continued in presenting the salient features and figures as regards the gender gap issue in the Philippines and in USL.

Coffee break with Fr. Art by Emilson Jimenez
Who is Fr. Art? Of course as expected, he is a CICM Filipino priest (the cutest answer to the question). But pounding more on who he is, I came to know that he is actually a Chemical Engineer! (whoa!!! license for that matter, dude!). So there you go, a very nice blending of educational preparation: Chemist + Theology. This Chemist-Engineer-Priest is a native of Negros born in Paraiso, Sagay City in Negros Occidental. He had his mission in Belgium prior his ordination as priest and later designated as the Liaison officer of St. Louis School of Mandaue in Cebu City. He speaks Hiligaynon (Negrense) other than being fluent in English, Filipino and Flemish. His prowess in communication is not only limited to verbal sounds but extends to the realm of the hearing impaired. He is an expert in action language being one of the accredited interpreters of our country today. Maybe you saw him already roaming around the campus with traces of throng in his face as he would like to get acquainted with his new environment. Usually, you see him in brown shirt and dark khaki, or in a majestic sotane with a religious stole hanged on his shoulder when he celebrates the Eucharist.
Discover some more of Fr. Art with this brief account of a tete-a-tete with him: Why Saint Louis Tuguegarao? I was asked by the Provincial to come to USL to help the Chaplain. I thought I will just be helping the Campus Ministry of this University, but I was asked to be the assistant chaplain and to also help the Dinggin Ka Learning Center since I have an experience working with and for the Deaf. What do you love about Tuguegarao? Pansit!!! And after two months of staying here, the place is not only warm, but also the people. I love also to see the Kalesa moving around the city! (laughs)
What can you say about the Louisians? I have been observing around and still in the discovering stage, but if you ask me of my first impression, I would say, this institution is rich in cultural differences and the Louisians are in some way or the other trying to live those differences in the campus and yet manages to harmonize differences with the others. Many seem to be shy, but that does not mean that they don’t have self esteem. Perhaps in the future, I have many things to tell about them. How was your adjustment with the people and the environment? So far, I have no problem adjusting with the people. I had a chance working in Cebu and somehow, the warmness and hospitality of the people here, their religiosity and their way of life, has similarity with the people in Cebu. The only little difficulty is that I cannot speak yet the language. With regards to the Environment, I am still struggling with the warm weather. (laughs) But I can manage! You have this passion about the hearing-impaired, please tell us about this advocacy. The deaf have been part of my apostolate since I was in the Seminary. I don’t really know why I had grown compassion on them. I don’t only have passion with the Deaf, I love them! That is maybe the reason why I studied their language and become a certified interpreter for the deaf in the Philippines so that I can communicate with them and listen

to them. What I notice in our society today, we are not sensitive to welcome people with a handicap (not only for the deaf, but also for the other handicapped). Just think about it! How many establishments around us would hire a deaf person and give them a decent work today? Maybe few! Or maybe none! How many schools, both private and public, would welcome them as students? How many people would speak to them? Even here in USL, you can only count with your fingers the people who would strive to converse with the deaf. Even our Churches will put them on the side, because they cannot understand them and we conclude, that they cannot understand us as well. Yet Jesus in the Gospel would reach-out to them and we said, we are followers of Jesus. In most cases, even in our chapel, we put them on the side because we cannot understand their language, and we do not have time to learn their language, and they “Annoy” or disturb us when we are praying. I only hope, one day, they will become part of our community because they are NOT YET part! Any plans? If it is with regards to my work or involvement here, there are already many

plans made. Personally, my plan is to start realizing my plans and make a difference. S o there, a brief Q & A, yet it gives us a wide peep of some bits and pieces of Fr. Art. We will know more of Fr. Art as time enriches our relationship in pursuit of our ministry and the vision of USL and the CICM. By the way, Fr. Art’s favorite color is brown because according to him, it is close to the color of the earth. He said, “I am a lover of nature and culture. Brown is earth color.” His guiding quote for each day: “Everyday is a new opportunity to be of service to God and others. If we lost that opportunity, we lost our chance to live that day.”
Earning our daily bread that one might think the author’s intention was to torture people. Material is presented from the professor’s point of view; i.e., one needs to already know the material to be able to understand it (a vicious circle). Too much is given to students in the form of rigid, fixed rules that have to be memorized. Too little is left for students to discover for themselves and to understand in their unique way. Different areas of science and even different topics of the same subject are not connected to each other in the curriculum and, as a result, in students’ minds. Mechanical repetition and drill are constantly abused. Too much stress is involved for both
students and teachers. Things every teacher must know: “A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.” “Conclusions arrived at through reasoning have very little or no influence in altering the course of our lives.” “Look at every path closely and deliberately, and then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn’t, it is of no use.” “To achieve the mood of a warrior is not a simple matter. It is a revolution. To regard the lion and the water rats and our fellow men as equals is a magnificent act of a warrior’s spirit. It takes power to do to page 08
knowledge and concerns with regards to the prevailing environmental crisis and the way human activities devastate its natural beauty and disrupt its natural phenomenon. She also stressed out that it is up to the educated youth to take its course on preserving our remaining natural resources for the good of the next generations to come; And as Tourism Students, we are here to let tourists adhere to the principle: “Take nothing but pictures, kill nothing but time, leave nothing but footprints and bring home only memories.” The Business Expo also held out contested events such as the Tourism Quizbee, Extemporaneous Speaking, Bedmaking competition and Tourism Ambassador and Ambassadress in which USL bagged the championship in Tourism Quizbee in the personas of Gellygrace Antonio, Norbeth Parallag and Joanna Marie Antonio, all from 4th year BS Tourism. The Extemporaneous Speaking Championship came out easy for Kimber Rodlyn Fernandez, a 3rd year BS Tourism Student. The competition gets even hotter as the different schools from the region outwit each other in the bedmaking competition where Sherry Ann Tagiuam, a 2nd year HRM student got 1st runner-up in the said event. The Tourism Ambassador and Ambassadress got the might of the audience with the outpours of talents from the SPUP students showing off the cultural dances in the different countries around the world. The competition was battled out by the different schools such as CSU, Sanchez Mira, CCT, Perpetual Help, Saint Ferdinand College and our very own University. The contestants presented their corporate attire best suited for the Tourism Industry and their cultural attires portraying the best of Filipino costumes. This event was represented by Joan Labinay, a 4th year Tourism student and Mel Cabanilla, a 4th year BS HRA student from our university. The guide question which was destined to say who the Tourism Ambassador is: “How can you promote your hometown?” and the question for the Tourism Ambassadress was: “What is your best asset in promoting the Tourism Industry?” The USL Ambassadors confidently answered the question correctly, proudly representing the school and as the future pioneers of the Tourism Industry. Both landed 2nd runner-up in the said event. The delegates were accompanied by their coaches in the to page 08

This endeavor usually takes a comprehensive ecosystem approach to water, dealing with all waterrelated natural features, terrestrial resources, fisheries, water linkages and green space planning. Dear friends, I am full of hope and enthusiasm that whatever programs planned for the future of water and hence our future should be a must-act-now program. We cannot afford any minute to fly for an important resource such as water. I call on all who are active
