Students’ have Spoken

By Maria May Jelena and Judie Lyn Mutya From a crowded building to a wide one. And from a large population to a less one. Being separated from the people we were usually with is a stage of adjustment.

Bachelor of Science in Law Enforcement Administration and Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship are now out of the School of Arts and Sciences which is now School of Arts.

Photo Courtesy of www.wordpress.com They formed their own schools, to BS Law Enforcement Administration of Criminal Justice Education and from BS Entrepreneurship to School of Business and Management. The School of Arts is now consists of AB English and AB Communication.

Here are the points of view of some students of the former School of Arts and Sciences: “Tungkol sa paghihiwalay ng BS Entrepreneurship at BS Law Enforcement Administration sa School of Arts and Sciences, ako ay sumasang-ayon sapagkat sa tingin ko, ito ay para sa ikakaganda o ikabubuti ng mga mag-aaral sa mga nasabing kurso.”

Ronnie Magcamit, BS Entrepreneurship I “Well as we analyzed the official separation of BS Law Enforcement Administration and BS Entrepreneurship from the School of Arts, we found out that there are some advantages and disadvantages . The advantage is that this situation will minimize the work of the faculty members and will find enough time to focus on the two courses namely AB English and AB Communication which are very much related with each other, unlike BS LEAd and BS Entrepreneurship which were far different from the said courses.

However, the disadvantage that can be foreseen is the stand of our department during the MSC Olympics, wherein most of the valuable players came from BS LEAd.” Nhannie Jean Mayores and Deah Rose Jalimbawa, AB English I “Para sa akin, sang-ayon ako sa paghihiwalay ng BS LEAd at BS Entrepreneurship sa School of Arts. Isa kasi ito sa paraan upang magkaroon ng pagkakakilanlan ng bawat departamento, at kung itatanong din sakin kung sang-ayon ako sa muling pagsasama ng nasabing departamento sa darating na MSC Olympics 2012 o Intramural Meet, ang sagot ko ay hindi. Sapagkat naniniwala ako na kahit hindi magkasama ang mga estudyante ng LEAd, Entrep., AB Comm., at AB English ay kaya nilang makipagtagisan ng galing ayon sa kanikanilang paraan.

Edson Rodelas, BS LEAd IV As our final say, we, as affected students of the said separation, despite the advantages and disadvantages it may bring, consider this the right time as we prepare our institution to become university.

Moreover, this would be a good opportunity for the students of the School of Arts to accept challenges, to strive independently and to aim higher for the success of the college.

WHY NOT SPEAK??

What can you say regarding the fight between Pacquiao and Marquez?

REACTIONS: “It’s not about the fight. It’s not about the fame and championship. It’s about spirit and the real essence of being a winner.” - Diane Sol, AB English 3 “It’s kinda interesting to know that everyone would go for a win with Pacquiao, of course, he’s the defending champion. But as everybody went further in the game, he would not exactly know if who really won the game, everybody reacted. On the positive way, I would react on how Pacquiao still represents the country, he’s still a winner for being in that position, and how he won the game that far. But on the negative side, lot of people expected too much.” - Jofel Maalindog, AB English 3 “Pacquiao and Marquez is both good boxer. I am not against or pro between the two opposing side and having Pacquiao as the winner legal. First and foremost, a challenger Photo Courtesy of www.clker.com should “knocked – out” the defending Champion in order to earn the title.

Unfortunately, Marquez did obtain more number of punches against Pacquiao.”

- John Andro Fermin, AB English 3 “Pacquiao made Filipinos upset. He did not perform what the people are expecting from him. As a pound for pound champion, he should prove it but he did not. For me, Marquez is the real mortal opponent of Pacquiao. He gave everything to win the fight but still the majority decision is on Pacquiao and as a Filipino, I’m still proud of Pacquaio because he still won the game. Maybe, we always watched Pacqiao dominating his opponent by his knockout victory but now he did not, so we were disappointed.”

- Patrick Magbuo, AB English 3 “For me, the fight between Pacquaio and Marquez was kinda disappointing because Pacquaio did not deserve to win even though the judge’s decision was in favour of him. We saw no distraction on him during the fight.”

- Sarah Semilla, AB English 3 “I think it was a good fight between Pacquiao and Marquez, as many said, it was a close fight and really it is. On the other hand, some people were arguing about the controversial result of the game. Some says that Marquez should won the fight because he had lots of points earned than Pacquaio but for me they did not really watched the game because they just focused on Marquez moves than Pacquiao. Not all the time that the people’s champ will give a perfect fight. It happened that Marquez is also one of the good boxer that Pacquiao had encountered.”

- Joann Bercilla, AB English 3 “The fight between Marquez and Pacquiao was so disappointing. I agree with my classmates, I am expecting that Pacquiao will give his best techniques in fighting. They were really good boxers. I think Marquez learned the different moves of Pacquiao before he fought.”

- Annielor Majaba, AB English 3 “All the people around the world set aside their things just to watch the fight between Pacquiao and Marquez. It was a great fight from the beginning to the end. These two boxers were really good, they were both competitive. On the other hand, I’m quite disappointed because I expected that Pacquiao will knockout Marquez. But over-all it was a great fight.”

- Claudette Malansing, 2nd year High School

Mr. Espino – the student’s voice in General Assembly

Every student has a chance to voice out their feelings, emotions, and demands, but some do not have the guts to speak up. Out of numerous students who attended the General Assembly last Nov. 16, 2011, at MSC Boac Campus, Covered Court, one student stand out and speak up fierce fully.

Born in Landi, Sta. Cruz, Marinduque and raised in the same land by his parents Mr. And Mrs. Rogie Espino, he took his tertiary level at MSC Boac Campus, pursuing the course of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology, major in Mechanical Technology. He is now on his third year of degree. A simple guy who aims high, Mr. Carl Bryan has lot of plans and dreams in life. He is loving, approachable and a bit joker.

Same as a normal person or student, it’s a good thing that Carlo Bryan Espino is blessed with a bright mind and yet some students (AB English IV) call him Mr. Complicated. According to him, he thinks that way because he is a person who is experiencing personal struggles in life.

He said, “At first I don’t want to run for the position of Public Information Officer in Supreme Student Council federation (SSCF) because of my two positions: Business Manager in SSC and President in School of Industrial Technology but I feel into thinking that it is a great pleasure and not all students can be given a chance, so I grabbed the opportunity and prove that I can be a student and a good officer at the same time.”

When asked on how it was working with other officials, he immediately blurted, “Masaya, nagkakaroon ng pagkakaisa, pero may iba na matigas pa sa bato at para ding prutas na maasim at matamis.” Mr. Espino stated: “I would like to share these to my fellow students: Believe and you will see. If we cannot act as we wish, we must act as we can. Think not only for yourself but for all of us as a whole, and don’t be afraid to fight for your rights because it is useless if we don’t think the purpose of what we are now or what we had achieved. Remember, I am always here, you can count on me and I will help as long as I can.”

Pambansang Kamao

ni: vhin

Muli na namang humataw ang kampeon Nang pataubin ang Mahikanong humamon Nahirapan man sa kanyang pakikipaglaban Umuwi pa ring dala ang korona at karangalan Isang Mandirigma sa Gen. Santos nagmula Iwinawagayway sa mundo ang ating bandila Sekreto ang tiwala at pananalig sa Diyos Kaya walang kupas mula noon hanggang ngayon.

Mundo ay naghihintay sa muling sagupaan Nang dalawang boksingero na sa lona ay may alitan Mehikano ay nagbigay ng magandang laban Subalit sa huli sa Pilipinas pa rin ang karangalan Photo courtesy of www. Google.com

She learned to write the basic letters From A to Z and counting numbers, A call of thought for blank papers, A sprouting soul of a future writer.

Pencils and an old note pad The only weapon of this little, lass Against the agony and the hard times she had, For the world has thought, “tsk, tsk so bad,” She’s the disappointment everyone has seen A mischievous creature her siblings never been, A dot compared to the best akin, But everything is hidden right under her skin.

Look at her hands as she uses her dot To start an art and give it a shot, It takes a long time to finish a plot, Right under the moon, her favourite spot.

At night she held her lead up high Stop for a minute and close her eyes, Wished upon a star with a deepest sigh, Asking for answers in her questions “why?”

What does it cost to write a sentence?

Does it mean sacrificing the whole existence?

How much does it ask to give a message?

From a blazing heart whispering in

Sino ang susunod na hahamon sa pambansang kamao Ito kaya ay ang walang talong Amerikano Na mundo’y inaabangan ang kanilang tapatan Floyd Maywether laban kay Pacman.

Pangako

By: Judie Lyn Mutya Unang narinig mula sa kanyang bibig Puno ng matatamis na pag-ibig Salita n’yay aking lubos na ninamnam Mga pangakong aking pinanghahawakan.

Ngunit bakit tadhana sadyang kaylupit Kasiyahan sa akin ay pinagkait Kanyang mga pangako ay sadyang naglaho Hapdi sa aking puso tanging natamo.

Muling dumaratal ang tinamong sakit Salitang pangako ayaw marinig Poot at galit ang tanging nanaig Pag-ibig na nadama ngayo’y dinaig Pangako ninuman ayaw ng pakinggan Tanging katwiran pare-pareho lamang Salitang pangako sa’yo ay paalam ‘Di muling masasaktan pusong nagmamahal.

Breaking News for Breaking Dawn Frequently Asked Questions answered

by Stephenie Meyer: What does the cover mean?

Breaking Dawn's cover is a metaphor for Bella's progression throughout the entire saga. She began as the weakest (at least physically, when compared to vampires and werewolves) player on the board: the pawn. She ended as the strongest: the queen. In the end, it's Bella that brings about the win for the Cullens.

What does the title mean?

The title Breaking Dawn is a reference to the beginning of Bella's vampire life.

What does the Book I prologue refer to?

These are Bella's thoughts about Renesmee, during the time when her life was in serious danger from the pregnancy.

Why the big build-up for a fight that didn't happen?

I'm not the kind of person who writes a Hamlet ending. If the fight had happened, it would have ended with 90% of the combatants, Cullen and Volturi alike, destroyed. There was simply no other outcome once the fight got started, given the abilities and numbers of the opposing sides. Because I would never finish Bella's story on such a downer—Everybody dies!—I knew that the real battle would be mental. It was a game of maneuvering, with the champion winning not by destroying the other side, but by being able to walk away. This was another reason I liked the chess metaphor on the cover—it really fit the feel of that final game. I put a clue into the manuscript as well. Alice tore a page from The Merchant of Venice because the end of Breaking Dawn was going to be somewhat similar: bloodshed appears inevitable, doom approaches, and then the power is reversed and the game is won by some clever verbal strategies; no blood is shed, and the romantic pairings all have a happily ever after.

Why the name Renesmee?

Well, I couldn't call her Jennifer or Ashley. What do you name the most unique baby in the world? I looked through a lot of baby name websites. Eventually I realized that there was no human name that was going to work for me, so I surrendered to necessity and made up my own. I don't approve of such shenanigans in real life, I don't even believe in getting creative with spellings for real kids! But this was fantasy, and no human name fit, so I did the best I could. I named Renesmee so long ago—Fall 2003—that the name now sounds really natural to me. It wasn't until people started mentioning it that I remembered, "Oh, yeah, it is a weird name, isn't it?"

I've heard you say that you think Breaking Dawn should be two movies. Why? Also, that it might be impossible to film. What does that mean?

If Breaking Dawn were ever made into a movie, it's hard to imagine it fitting into ninety minutes. The book is just so long!

I can't imagine how to distill it—if I could, the bwook would be shorter. But maybe a screenwriter can see a way to do it and still cover the crucial plot points.

When I said that Breaking Dawn might be impossible to film, it's because of Renesmee. You can do almost anything with CGI these days—realistic dragons and dinosaurs and endless amounts of nonexistent creatures that blend right in with the real elements. Some of them look so real you forget they're not. However, the one that I've never seen is a CGI human being who truly looks real. An actress can't play Renesmee, at least not when she's a few days old; she's the size of a baby, but her expressions are totally controlled and aware. She would have to be a construct, and CGI isn't quite there yet. Of course, they develop amazing new technologies every day, and we've got a little time left.
