Absentee students

John Ponsaran:
I'd like to seek your advice on how to deal with
absentee students - those with valid excuses
and those who are just irresponsible.


Henry Tenedero:
From a learning styles point of view, absentee students
may find learning "outside" more meaningful than
learning inside the classroom.
Again, if individual learning styles are valued,
students will make no excuse being absent
(whether they have valid excuses or they are simply irreponsible).

Information literacy

Prof. John Ponsaran:
I hope it's not too much if I ask your advice
on how to better instill among the youth the
importance of choosing the right TV programs to watch.


Dr. Florangel Rosario-Braid:
This is very important. It will have to be a concerted effort to
educate teachers, parents and the youth on criteria for good programs.
It will have to start with instilling need
for critical thinking which begins with teaching people
information literacy - how to identify, process, evaluate and use information.
The criteria for "good" TV programs should be developed.
I believe in media education rather than censorship.
Anyway, it is difficult to censor programs in the light of the
realities of our information age and borderless world.
Thanks for writing.

Liham para kay Sir ___

Sir ____,

Magandang umaga po.
May nabalitaan po ako kahapon ukol sa
inyong planong maagang pagreretiro.

Hindi ko po alam kung may katotohanan ito.
Una ko pong inisip ay sana hindi ito totoo.

Bihira po sa mga nagtuturo ng komunikasyon ang nilalapatan ito
ng matalas, makamamamayan at makauring pagsusuri kaya kung
totoo man po ang nabalitaan ko ay tiyak na malaki kayong kawalan.

Nakakapanghinayang na hindi mabigyan ang mga mag-aaral
ng pagkakataong mamulat at malinyahan ng tumpak.

Ang mga naibabahagi ninyong kaalaman sa larangan ng
komunikasyon, sining at kalinangan ay may napakalaking ambag
sa pagpapanday ng kamalayan ng mga mag-aaral (at kapwa guro).

Umaasa po kami na ipagpaliban ninyo muna ang pagreretiro.

Kailangan po ng mga mag-aaral at ng mga kapwa ninyo guro
ng gabay lalo na sa kasalukuyang yugto ng krisis at ligalig.

Salamat po.

urgent response to the need to develop practitioners
and scholars in development work to confront urgent
socio-economic problems in the Philippines.

formulate and implement developmental programs
which are nationalist, scientific, and people-oriented.

The program includes the following areas:

Development theory
Comparative studies
Philippine national development
Research methodology
Administrative techniques


Career opportunities:

National government
Financial institution
Local governance

Babala

  • Lalaganap ang mga pekeng pera
    na ipamumudmod para nalalapit na eleksyon.
    Mga pulitiko at sindikato (may pinag-iba ba?) ang nasa likod nito.
    Ganito rin ang nangyari noong mga nakaraang halalan.

  • Mag-ingat sa mga "shoulder surfer"
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_surfing_(computer_security)
    Sa paglala ng pampinansyang krisis,
    lalong tataas ng kaso ng kriminalidad.

  • Mag-ingat sa "double burden" of diseases.
    Lumalaganap ito sa mga mahihirap na bansa kung saan
    may mataas na kaso ng nakahahawang sakit (hal. TB) at malnutrisyon
    kasabay ng lifestyle-related illnesses (hal. diabetes, heart ailment).
    Sabay na umiiral ang sakit ng mahihirap at sakit ng mayayaman.
    Ayon WHO, sanhi ito ng maduming kapaligiran,
    hindi wastong nutrisyon mula kapanganakan hanggang sa pagtanda,
    kawalan ng ehersisyo at iba pa.

  • Mananatiling atrasado ang Pilipinas hangga't hindi ito nakakapaglunsad
    ng tunay na repormang agraryo at pambansang industriyalisasyon.
    Hangga't nanaig ang pyudal at malapyudal na pagsasamantala,
    mananatiling ganito ang sitwasyon ng bansa at ng mga mamamayan nito.

  • Based on the Feb. 2009 Pulse Asia presidential preference survey,
    Noli ranked first (19%), followed by Chiz (17%),
    Erap (16%), Manny (15%), then Loren (12%)
  • Noli has yet to formally declare his intention to run
    but he has been consistently topping surveys since last year.
    Expect a reversal of his political fortune
    if he associates himself with Gloria.
  • In text and in spirit, the Constitution bans Erap to run again as president.
    With that 16%, his anointment can boost the chances of another top contender.
  • Manny only placed 4th in the national senatorial race in 2007.
    Does it indicate anything about his prospect in 2010?
  • Loren's ranking continues to plummet.
    If it slides further, she shouldn't take her chances anymore.
  • Chiz is just a hype.
    He's running on the singular platform of age.

Cultural development (updated)

"Tumutukoy ang cultural development sa pagsusulong ng
isang makabayan, siyentipiko at pangmasang kultura
laban sa dekadente, bulok, burges-pyudal
at maka-imperyalistang kultura."

-Marice Hermosa
student, Development Studies

***

"Masasabing maunlad ang kultura ng isang lipunan kung sinasalamin
nito ang likas na kayamanang sining at panitikan,
hindi ang kulturang iwinawasiwas ng dayuhan
at iilang naghaharing uri."

-Amihan Mabalay
graduate, Development Studies

***

"Cultural development is positive social change attained
through the process of remolding cultural universals,
thereby developing the society as a whole."

-Jigz Tenorio
student, College Arts of Sciences

***

"Culture is a historic phenomenon, and its development
is determined by the the succession of socio-economic formations.
It assumes a class character both as to its
ideological content and its practical aims.
Under capitalism, every national culture is split
into two cultures comprising the dominant culture of the
bourgeoisie and the subjugated masses.
However, certain areas of 'commodified' pop culture
transcend class boundaries."

Epekto ng kasalukuyang pampandaigdigang pinansyang krisis

  • Ayon sa ulat, tumataas ang demand sa de-latang sardinas dahil sa pampinansyang krisis.
  • Dumadami rin ang nagsisimba pero bumababa ang kabuuang halaga ng mga nagbibigay ng donasyon tuwing misa.
  • Maging ang industriya ng pornograpiya sa U.S. ay humihingi na rin ng saklolo (bail out) sa pamahalaan.
  • Noong nakaraang Pasko, maraming Amerikano nagsabing muli nilang iniregalo sa iba ang dati nilang natanggap para makatipid.
  • Upang mapataas ang benta sa kabila ng krisis, may promo ang isang kompanya ng sasakyan na maaari itong ibalik sa kanila kung sakaling mawalan ng trabaho ang bumuli sa sumunod na taon.
  • Ang mga dating aroganteng serbidor ay nagbago sa pakikitungo sa kanilang mga kliyente upang patuloy at mas madalas na bumalik sa kanilang establisimyento.
  • Lumaganap ang staycation (stay + vacation). Ito ay ang pagbabakasyon na lamang sa sariling pamayanan sa pamamagitan ng pagbisita sa mga kaibigan, kamag-anak, lokal na museo o parke, o pananatili na lamang sa bahay para makatipid.
  • Lumaganap din ang 'suiciety'* o ang pagpapatiwakal dahil sa kawalang pag-asa o kahihiyang dulot ng pagkalugi ng ipinuhunang salapi sa stock market.
  • Sa U.S., mas dumadami ang kusang nagbibigay o napipilitang magbigay ng diskwento sa kanilang mga produkto o serbisyo. Subalit nangangamba ang mga negosyante na baka umabuso ang kanilang mga mamimili.

    Kung may maidadagdag kayo, isulat ito sa papel (1/4 sheet) at ipasa sa darating na linggo.
