random thoughts

• Sa susunod na semestre, talinum (Philippine spinach) naman ang aking papalaganaping itanim ng aking mga mag-aaral.
  
  
• Mahusay ang nakaisip na pagsama-samahin ang mga kababaihan sa hanay ng mga kandidato ng partido Nacionalista sa halalang pambansa. Kataka-takang hindi matapatan ng kampo ni Noynoy ang sigasig at pagkamalikhaing ito gayong napalilibutan siya ng mga galing sa creative industry.
  
  
• Ang semestreng ito ang may pinakamaraming dating mag-aaral na nagpagawa sa akin ng recommendation letter para mag-aral ng masterado. Araw-araw pang nadadagdagan.
  
  
• Dalawang bagay ang tinging kong mahalaga sa pagbuo ng exhibit na may adbokasiya:
  Una, dapat nitong mapukaw ang kamalayan ng mismong bumuo ng exhibit at maging ng mga tagamasid nito.
  Ikalawa, dapat ay maging unang hakbang ito sa pagmomobilisa tungo sa makabuluhang panlipunang pagbabago.
  
  
• Kapansin-pansing napakahina ng hanay ng mga kandidato ng partido Lakas-Kampi-CMD sa pambansang halalan. May 3 dahilan: Una, walang marangal na tao ang gustong maidentipika kay Gloria. Ikalawa, mas pinaglalaanan nila ng suporta ang lokal na halalan partikular ang mga kakandidato sa Mababang Kapulungan upang tiyakin manatili ang kanilang dominasyon sapagkat titiyakin din nitong maging speaker ang kanilang amo. Pangatlo, maaaring may mas masahol na balak ang mga kasalukuyang nasa poder.
  
  

5 tagubilin para sa mga magtatapos

1. Baunin at pagyamanin sa inyong paglisan ang mga natutunan teorya at karanasan sa pamantasan.
   
2. Gamitin ang mga ito para sa kapakanan ng nakararami, hindi lamang ng iilan.
3. Magmulat ng iba na hindi nabigyan ng pagkakataong makatamasa ng edukasyong mapanuri at makabayan na mayroon kayo - sa paraang hindi mapagmalaki.
   
4. Huwag maging maluho (hayok) sa paggastos. Ang sweldo'y mahirap kitain pero madaling ubusin.
   
5. Iwasang mag-Farmville para mas maraming kapaki-pakinabang na matapos araw-araw. : )

Saluyot

Sa mga nakapagpatubo ng saluyot, maaaring magdala ng isa sa ika-19 ng Marso para sa karagdagang grado. Maaari itong ilipat sa anumang maliit na lagayan para hindi malanta. Makabubuti rin kung kukuhanan ninyo ng litrato ang mga sumibol na saluyot sa inyong lugar bilang karagdagang ebidensya. Huwag mandaya. Ang gawaing ito ay bahagi ng ating kampanya para palaganapin ang ecological at health consciousness.

Kayamanan ba o kapangyarihan?

Sa isang talakayan, tinanong si Villar kung ano ang mas mahalaga para sa kanya: kayamanan ba o kapangyarihan? Ayon sa kanya, kung nanggaling sa hirap ang isang tao ay kanyang pipiliin ang kayamanan. Kung naabot na niya ang mga pangarap para sa sarili /pamilya at nais naman niyang makalutong sa iba ay malaki ang magagawa ng kapangyarihan o posisyon sa pamahalaan para ito'y magkaroon ng katuparan.

random thoughts

• Pagkilala kay Ienne Eguico para sa kanyang pagpasa sa UP College of Law.
• Sa mga komunidad ng mga katutubong Dumagat sa Rizal ipinamahagi ang mga donasyong binhi.
• Nagtulungan sina Yfur Fernandez at Ienne Eguico na mabuo ang "Praxis", isang AVP ukol sa Development Studies Program. Hiniling kong gawin nila itong komprehensibo para magamit sa taunang oryentasyon. Bilang katambal ng Praxis ay pinakikiusapan ko si Monic del Rosario na bumuo ng grupo na gagawa naman ng pop at maikling bersyon nito. Mas makabubuti na huwag nang ulitin ang anumang nabigyang diin sa unang AVP. Bumuo ng script na dapat munang maaprubahan.
  
• Napakaraming natatagong talento ang mga mag-aaral sa UP Manila subalit nagkukulang ang administrasyon, kaguruan at minsan maging ang mga organisasyon upang diskubrehin at linangin ang mga ito. Dapat ay pangunahan ito ng CAS. Mahalagang lumikha ng isang kondisyon para ang mga ito'y maipamalas at mapaunlad.

"Marami sanang maaaring mabago sa pagkawala sa poder ni GMA.
Marami sanang maaaring simulan ng tama
at wakasan ng ganap sa 2010.
Pero sa paghahangad ni GMA maluklok sa Mababang Kapulungan
na unang hakbang n'ya sa pagpapanaig
sa kapangyarihan ay binigo n'ya ito.
Dapat ay siya ang biguin natin"

Binhing handog para sa kabuhayan at pampulitikang pakikibaka

Nitong nakaraang Biyernes namin pormal na ibinahagi sa mga Dumagat ang ating donasyong binhi.

Ayon sa kanilang kinatawan, malaki ang maitutulong nito sa kanila sa dalawang paraan.

Una ay pangkabuhayan para madagdagan ang kanilang pagkain at pagkakakitaan.

Ikalawa ay ang malaking ambag ito sa kanilang pampulitikang pakikibaka. Ayon sa kanila, sa pamamagitan ng mga binhi ay mas magiging produktibo ang kanilang mga lupain at bunga nito'y mas sisikhay ang kanilang paninindigang biguin ang pagpapalayas sa kanila ng sabwatang gobyerno at pribadong korporasyon mula sa kanilang lupaing ninuno upang isulong ang kontra-mamamayang pagtatayo ng dambuhalang dam.

Sana naging estudyante n'ya rin ako.

Isang propesora sa ibang pamantasan ang may di-tradisyunal na paraan ng pagtuturo ng Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Pagpapabasa ng dyaryo (Inquirer partikular) sa mga mag-aaral ang kanyang naiibang paraan ng pagtuturo. Ipinauunawa niya ang mga napapanahong isyung panlipunan at kanila namang iniuugnay at sinusuri ang mga ito sa konteksto ng nakaraan. Sa pananaw ko'y mas epektibo at praktikal ito lalo na kung hindi naman BA History ang kurso ng kanyang mga mag-aaral. Parang kumuha sila ng History I at PolSci 14 ng sabay. Lupeeeeet!

random thoughts

• Mahusay at epektibo ang community safety audit na isinagawa ni Prop. Castillo at ng kanyang klase sa Agham Pampulitika 11. Makabubuting magkaroon din nito sa CAS mismo.
• Bibisita ang mga Dumagat sa CAS ngayong Biyernes upang magbahagi ng mga kasalukuyang problema na banta sa kanilang karapatan sa lupaing ninuno (ancestral domain) at saliring pagpapasya (self-determination). Ibibigay natin ang mga binhing gulay na nabili mula sa pondong nalikom mula sa Bookay Bookay book drive sa araw ng kanilang pagbisita. Kasama kong bumili ng binhi sina Mr. Padilla, Ms. Nartea at Mr. Yu noong Martes (Peb 9).
  
• Ang pamamahagi ko ng binhi ng saluyot ay bahagi ng aking kampanyang palaganapin ang tamang nutrisyon, pagtatanim sa bakuran, pagbabawas ng pagkaing isinaproseso at artipisyal.

Topic bank

Inaanyayahan ko ang mga dati at kasalukuyan kong mag-aaral sa DevStud na magmungkahi ng mga karagdagang paksa para sa mga susunod na isusulat na haiku ng aking mga klase. Ang mga paksang ito ay dapat may kaugnayan sa politika, ekonomya, kultura, kaunlaran, kalikasan at lipunan. Isulat ang mga ito sa 1/8 piraso ng papel at isumite sa Martes (Peb 9) o Miyerkules (Peb 10) sa susunod na linggo. Maaari ring magmungkahi ang mga nagtapos na sa kurso sa pamamagitan ng text o e-mail. Salamat.

Pakiusap

Ngayong darating na Biyernes ay may mga papakiusapan ako sa mga kasalukuyan at dati kong mag-aaral na maging hurado sa Haiku at Dialektika exhibit. Mamamahagi ako ng papel na pagsusulatan ninyo ng hatol. Mensahe (50%) at istilo (50%) ang magiging batayan ng pagpili ng pinakamahusay na haiku. Ang mga papel na ito ay maaari ninyong ibalik sa akin ng personal, ilagay sa aking pigeon hole sa loob ng DSS, o iabot sa sinumang tumatao sa Bookay-Bookay booth. Maraming salamat sa inyong kooperasyon.

Prof. Doti Abaya on hegemony

Prof. Abaya defines hegemony as domination with victim's consent. The victimizer (ruling class) aside from using force may also utilize culture as a tool where there is no force or coercion involved. The victim (ruled class), on the other hand, thinks s/he is not oppressed and exploited.
