Ninoy Ignited the Light

     August 21, 2014- the 31st death of  anniversary Ninoy  Aquino. It was more than 3 decades when our country lost a a man who ignite the fire of democracy in each country men. Lets take a look back who is he. Ninoy Aqiuno came from propherous family of land owners in Concepcion Tarlac and a product of the most prominent schools in the country; namely San Beda, Ateneo de Manila and University of the Philippines where he took law. Even if grew up in famiky of hacienderos, he has an open heart for the people from the lower level of the society. He was the youngest Senator in the Philippine history at the of 34. it was not a surprise bevause his father Benigno S. Aquin, Sr was a former Speaker of the House of the reprensentatives and his grand father was also a politician in the Janapanes Era. He was one of the most brilliant politicians in the rumbling world of politics during the Marcos Era. His bravery and intelligence will never be compare to anyone. Most of the politician were threatened because of his unbeatable and fierce speeches and revealation that put him spot in every filipino's heart. He married Corazon Cojuanco who eventually put in th limelight of politics and became a former president after his death. He has 5 children and  his only son is the president of the country.  He was arrested during Martial Law because he was considerrd as one of the most powerful threat in the government due to the sharpness of his tongue. He had a cardiac attack during he was in the jail and needed to had an operation but he refused because he doesnt want to have it done in the Philippine Heart Center. He was allowed by the late President Marcos to have the operation in the United states. Ninoy and his family leave the country and stayed in America for 8 years but still his eagerness to fight against Marcos regime was tremendous and it caused him to go back in the Philippines.

     September 21, 1983, Ninoy was assassinated in the Manila International Airport which was eventually named after him.

     His assassination paved way for Filipino people to fight for freedom. The martial law and Marcos' government has nothing to do against the people power revolution. Millions of people gathered to sympathized and showed thier suppport to the hero of national democrary. Yellow ribbons were everywhere symbolizing the thirst for freedom. His death pushed the filipino to move against cruelty and dictatorship. He is an icon of freedom indeed.he showed that power is nothing without the hand for the people, that a power is rotten if its selfish and greedy. A man who said that "Filipino is worth dying for". And yes its true, he proved it when he was brave enough to face what faith will bring to him in returning back to his homeland. His a man of  courage and love, a man of his words and a man of a true nationalism.

Can you pass the test?

      Tons of paper work, quizzes and test papers, maximized voice and never ending lesson plans; its all about teaching. Being a teacher is a tough profession and the way towards being a teacher is not that easy as what other people expect. Before one can be called as a teacher It takes patience, hardwork and heart to learn because teaching requires learning. It as a four year course that molds person into a better one who can impart lives to other people. It is the hardest proffesion above all. In my almost for 4 years  in this course, I realized that this proffession doesn't just require patience, intellect and confidence but it requires our whole being; the holistic aspect of being human having the heart and knowledge to give the world a better future in the presence of each child who needs education.

     Can you pass the test of being the molder of the future?- its always a question for everyone in this course. This test is not just an ordinary test written in a paper either multiple choice or essay type but its a test that will make you question about your ability of being someone who will make or break a life.  It's the biggest responsibility that will handed down to us six months from now. It is a bigger responsibility bigger than being a student and we should be prepared for it. Preparation doesn't stop with learning what's in the book because everyone continues to learn with experience and lessons in life. How can we pass the test? For me, it takes a good heart and an open mind to learn the ways of passing through with dedication and guide given by the greatest teacher of all times- our Almighty God. I believe that we reached this high because we were called for this profession. Maybe not all us of are good speakers and writers but all of us believes in the exeptional talent given to us.

     We can all pass the test without cheating and copying because the answers we have are in our hearts. Teaching may not be the easiest and most highly-paid proffession but it vocation where we can make highly-paid proffesionals and where we can learn the best lesson man can ever gain.

Let's Start Counting!

      Last July 27, 2014 Philippine population has officially hit 100 million. The birth of Baby Chonalyn brought the country to its new milestone. Now that Philippines has 100 million living in its area, is it a good o bad news?

      Philippines with its government and agencies is facing an never-ending problem with its overpopulation. Based on the National Statistics Office there are three baby born in every minute. Imagine how fast the population grows. As of 2013 the population listed 98, 734, 798 people and 100, 617,630 for year 2014. Millions of people suffering from its effect and poverty is one of the biggest issue linked with overpopulation. No matter how abundant our resources are, we still lack in other sort of needs. In reality one of the main reason why the country experiences slow development is that we have too much number of people that the government and resources cannot provide sufficiently. We can set education as example, the growing population of the children who need to be educated result to unsuffient materials and place where they can study. The worst case is because of the shortage, many students doesn't receive the appropriate facilities and material they need in studying. In other cases, because of financial problem due to unemployment others may not be able to go to school and experience the previlages in education. These are just few effects

of overpopulation.

     As per Juan Antonio Perez, executive director of the official Commission on population "This is both an opportunity and a challenge... an opportunity we should take advantage of and a challenge we recognize,". Yes its an opportunity for our country having numbers of people who will work in together to help rise the level of economy through work and career opportunities but its also a challenge for the goverment to make actions to help the people sustain their livelihood. It's not just a challenge for the government but also a challenge for each Filipino on how to sustain the daily personal and family needs despite the competency because of the large number of people.

      The answer to the question if it's a bad one. good news, for some it's a bad but for some it's also a good news. In a pre-dominated Catholic country like us, birth is not a bad thing but rather a blessing. If poverty is our first problem then its a signal for us to do something against it. Lets not wait for the government to act for us. We are the one responsible for our own living. Their are solutions for this problem but it seems that we are not curing the illness. If we want to rise then lets make an act to do it. Lets not add to the problem but rather remove ourselves to the list.
