Batch 2011

Batch 2011. Una sa lahat ay gusto kong magbigay pugay sa inyong pagtatapos sa pamantasan ng bayan. Nais ko ring magpasalamat dahil pinili ninyong ituloy ang kurso sa kabila ng inisyal na pag-aagam-agam. Sa pangkalahatan, tama ang inyong naging desisyon. Sa aking pagkakatanda, kayo ang unang batch na sinalanta ng 300% tuition fee increase. Hindi kataka-taka na bunsod ng kondisyong ito ay marami sa inyo ang namulat bilang mga kritikal na mag-aaral ng pamantasan at piniling maging binhi ng pagbabago sa iba’t ibang paraan at kapasidad. Karamihan sa inyo ay 7-8 semestreng naging estudyante ko. Halos 4 na taon ko kayong naging kapwa mag-aaral ng lipunan at mamamayang Pilipino. Sa pangkalahatan, hindi ko maitatanggi na marami akong natutunan sa ugnayang ito. May mga masasaya rin tayong tagpo sa klase at alam kong sasang-ayon sa akin si Faye. May mga tagpo ring napagsasabihan ko ang buong klase. Humihingi ako ng paumanhin kung nakasakit ito ng inyong damdamin at nagpapasalamat din dahil hindi ninyo naman ako dinahas bilang ganti. Hehe. Masyado na itong seryoso at cheesy. Narito na ang inaabangan ng iba sa inyo. Ang tala ng aking mga hindi malilimot na tagpo ukol sa inyo sa nakalipas na halos 4 na taon. Cabiao – self-assessment sa Econ 11 (shark analogy) at ang pag-uulat ukol sa foreign remittance sa Econ 115. Conferido – pag-uulat ukol sa 5 stages of economic growth sa Econ 101 at martial arts exhibition sa DS 123 kalaban si Mr. Caspe. Cortes – kalabasa pandesal sa Econ 115 exhibit; KCT (yehey). Cortey - karaniwang highest scorer sa mga pagsusulit. Cruz – pagtuturo ng tamang handwashing technique at ang pagganap bilang Kuya Kim sa musical play. Jalina – mahusay na pagganap bilang bida sa Ang Bobo, Ang Trapo at Ang Bagong Tao; at ang pagiging responsableng OCS SA. Javier – pag-uulat ukol sa Kadamay (NSTP) at pawnshop (Econ 115), tapsilog. Mendoza – Ms. Blogger, Madam Cory at astig na bag noong PICC graduation. Roa – galante sa ink (DS 100 katutubo exhibit); minsan kong kinamusta ang thesis at ang isinagot ay “like a slow turtle” pero sa kabila nito ay nakatapos sa takdang oras at sa katunayan ay gagamitin pa ng DS Program para sa pagtatasa nito sa practicum program. Tejada – makapanindig balahibong pagtula sa LT noong nakaraang practicum conference; mahusay na mag-aaral ng bayan; pumapel na "brod pit" sa DS 123 creative presentation. Tenorio – neem tree at toga; pumapel bilang Manny Villar sa Ang Bobo, Ang Trapo at Ang Bagong Tao kaso nakalimot sa lyrics ng rap song. Abris – pangunguna sa lightning rally sa pagtatapos ng batch 2011 sa PICC at ang pagkanta ng Rosas ng Digma sa DS 126 kasama si Bb. Toledo na mala-UPM Chorale. Alfonso – Isang Kritikal na Pag-aaral Ukol sa Paggamit ng Bata sa Paggawa sa Sektor ng Agrikultura sa Victoria, Laguna. Caraan – mahuhusay na mga health advisory sa DS 123; mabait at mahusay magsulat. Cesar – Mabansag; kaparehong mahusay kaya mas nakalilito; giya ng Monta. Galang – nata de coco endorsement; responsible, matalino, mabait , lahat na… Mabansag – Cesar; kaparehong mahusay kaya mas nakalilito. Saliganan – mahusay na pag-oorganisa ng isang sampaksaan tampok ang Masipag. Soliza – mahusay na pagganap sa babaeng dinahas ng 3 militar sa musical play na Ang Bobo, Ang Trapo at Ang Bagong Tao; tuyo at tinapa (Econ 115). Santuele – Anne Curtis sa musical play na Ang Bobo, Ang Trapo at Ang Bagong Tao. Tayag – Torres, pangggagaya sa mga boses ni Picachu, mahusay na pagganap sa batang palaboy sa Villar jingle noong musical play suot ang malaking damit na gula-gulanit; toxic ang thesis. Torres – Tayag, pagsisit-in sa DS 123, mahusay rin sa pagganap bilang batang palaboy; toxic ang thesis. Villaceran – ampalaya (Econ 115) at bugtungan sa DS 123. Burgos – gatas ng kalabaw (Econ 115); palaging nananaig sa mga exam by elimination sa aking klase at ang kaisa-isang magna cum laude ng kanyang batch sa DS. Hangad ko ang inyong tagumpay. Isang karangalan ang makilala kayo at hanggang sa muli.

random points

• Paiklian ng bati. Noong Bagong Taon, may kapwa gurong nagpadala sa akin ng mensahe sa pamamagitan ng text. Ang laman ng text ay HNY. Kamakailan naman ay kumalat ang pagbating HIWD na ang ibig sabihin ay "Happy international women's day!".
  
  
• May isang kawani ng DOST ang nagbigay sa akin ng dalawang halaman ng strawberry. Sweet charlie strawberry cultivar ang mga ito at batay sa mga nabasa ko "excellent choice for home gardens" at "deliciously sweet" ang katangian nito (Hindi pa namin natitikman).
  
  
• Hindi na ako gaano (o hindi na yata talaga halos) makapagpost ng mga random points tulad nito dahil masyadong naging abala sa dami ng binabasa at ginagraduhang papel, proyekto at iba pang rekisitong ipinasa ng mga mag-aaral sa klase. Araw-araw ay tambak ang mga ito. Wika ng isang kapwa guro, "We author our own problems." Hindi ko na rin naipagpatuloy ang pagsusulat ng kolum at lathalain sa 2 pahayagang tabloid (Taliba at Remate Tonight).
  
  
• Noong Disyembre, may tinanong akong mag-aaral ukol sa lagay ng kanyang thesis sa pamamagitan ng text. Maikli pero tuwiran ang kanyang sagot: "Like a slow turtle". Disyembre pa iyon. Tiyak patapos na siya ngayong buwan.

Doc Ed on materialist conception of history (historical materialism)

"Ang materialist conception of history ay ang pag-aaral kung paano ang mga pwersa ng produksyon (forces of production) mula sa kalikasan, paggawa (labor) at mga kasangkapan (simpleng kagamitan at makina) ay nagpapasulpot ng mga relasyon sa produkson o social relations of production (halimbawa: relasyong magsasaka-panginoong may lupa (PML), relasyong manggagawa-kalitalista, at iba pa).

Kapag nagkaroon ng kontradiksyon ang lumang pwersa ng produksyon sa mga sumusulpot na bagong relasyon sa produksyon (halimbawa: guilds kontra pabrika) ay bumibigay ang lumang relasyon sa produksyon sa pamamagitan ng pagyanig sa lipunan (social upheavals) kagaya ng rebolusyon. Ito ay napatunayan ng kasaysayan (halimbawa: pag-aalsa ng mga alipin na nagbigay-daan sa pagdating ng pyudalismo sa Europa, rebolusyon ng mga burgis laban sa monarkiya).

Ang ideolohiya ng sosyalismo ay nabuo upang imaksimisa ang lumalabas na bagong relasyon ng produksyon dahil sa pag-abante ng teknolohiya tungo sa panlipunang pag-aari (social ownership) ng pwersa ng produksyon para hindi na mangibabaw muli ang paghahari ng iilan sa lipunan at magkaroon na ng tunay na demokrasya.

Ang interaksyon ng pwersa ng produksyon at relasyon ng produksyon ay ang tinatawag na moda ng produksyon sa lipunan. Kapitalismo ang moda ng produksyon sa US, sosyalismo sa Cuba at mala-pyudal at malakolonyal (MPMK) sa Pilipinas. Nakakaapekto ang moda ng produksyon (tinatawag ding economic base, substructure, o base structure) sa sistema ng politika at kultura. Ang ugnayang ito ay tumutukoy sa politikal ekonomya (political economy) ng lipunan.

Isinasaad ng material conception of history (historical materialism o HM) na mag-uumpisa muna pag-aralan ang materyal na kondisyon (economic conditions) ng tao para maunawaan ang kanyang politikal at kulturang kalagayan."

Kasama sa relasyong ito ang pangangakal at pagpapautang kung saan tinutulunganan ang pandaigdigang kapitalismo ng mga lokal na kapitalista partikular sa Pangatlong Daigdig at ng kanilang mga kontroladong pamahalaan (Dr. Edberto Villegas)
