𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 | COMMSOC holds general assembly and acquaintance party

Escolarians from the Communication and Media program gathered at the Librada Avelino Hall Seminar Room 2 & 3 for the annual general assembly and acquaintance party, October 28.

With the theme "Back to the Retro Future: The Past's Vision of the Future", the program was spearheaded by the Communication and Media Society (COMMSOC).

In his welcoming remarks, Prof. Ricky Rosales, COMMSOC Adviser and Program Head of Communication and Media, delivered a warm and encouraging message to the attendees, sharing his hope for students to continue the excellence of the past into the future.

Afterward, Catherine Bautista, former COMMSOC president, passed on the key of responsibility to the incoming officers, symbolizing the transition of leadership and the trust placed in them to carry on the organization's mission and vision.

Meanwhile, COMMSOC Secretary Savannah Maria Lantay presented the total number of members and conducted a reading of the newly updated constitution and by-laws.

This was followed by an icebreaker activity called the whisper challenge, played by pairs, one alumni, and one active student.

After the fun and energizing activity, Jeron Ellana, COMMSOC Year 13 president, presented the council's action plan for the SY '23-'24.

In his speech, he asked for the participation and support of the COMMunity in COMMSOC’s future events.

"They say 13 is a bad number. But this year, let's turn the bad luck into good luck," Ellana said.

Elisha Chloe Bautista and Marielle Joanna Sincuya, COMMSOC treasurer and auditor, also reported on the organization's financial statement and budget allocation.

Meanwhile, Kyle Crispino, CEU-Manila University Student Council (USC) Secretary, delivered his pledge of support to COMMSOC.

This segment was followed by an intermission performance from Adrienne Martinez, the Executive Producer of Balitang Centro.

Afterward, COMMSOC Vice President Christ Jereco Nuguid, gave an orientation on the proper procedures related to Communication & Media Lab and Equipment, as well as the proper way of filling out the request forms needed.

Following this, Communication and Media Alumni presented their "Looking Back to the Future" messages to the students.

John Bolivar (President, Year 11), Vanessa Canlas (Vice President, Year 11), Allyssa Nievera (President, Year 8), and Mitzi Ann Badua (President, Year 5), shared their experiences and learnings, offering their support for the current COMMSOC officers.

“Sana kahit mahirapan, bumalik tayo sa core kung bakit natin pinili mag Comm,” Canlas said.

Meanwhile, the sub-organizations of Communication and Media gave their pledges of support from the CEU News and Current Affairs, Centro Creatives, and Centro Dalumat, underscoring the solidarity within the COMMunity.

The event concluded with closing remarks and acknowledgments from COMMSOC officers, followed by a snack break and the start of the acquaintance party. The first game was "Pakandong po Kuya," followed by a costume catwalk with three finalists and two winners.

The event ended with a photo opportunity with the attendees, as well as the participating speakers.

What is not a scam but feels like a scam? Para sa akin 'yan ang programang Brigada Eskwela ng DepEd.

Pamilyar ka ba sa Brigada Eskwela? Nasubukan mo na bang makibahagi dito sa pamamagitan ng paglilinis sa classroom o pag-dodonate ng pintura, walis, floor wax at iba pa?

Ang Brigada Eskwela ay isa sa mga programa ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon tuwing malapit na ang pasukan sa mga pampublikong paaralan. Ito ay isang linggong aktibidad kung saan nagtitipon ang mga education stakeholders gaya ng mga g**o, magulang, at mag aaral upang maglaan ng kanilang oras para linisin at ayusin ang mga silid-aralan at ibang pasilidad ng paaralan at pagbibigay ng resources para tumulong sa paghahanda sa pagbabalik-eskwela.

Ang naturang programa ay nakasentro sa diwa ng “bayanihan” at “bolunterismo”. Ayon sa Vice President at DepEd Secretary na si Sara Duterte, isang panawagan sa espiritu ng bayanihan at bolunterismo sa bawat pilipino na tumulong sa paghahanda ng mga paaralan para sa pagbubukas ng mga klase upang matiyak ang isang malinis, ligtas, inklusibo, at child-friendly na kapaligiran sa pag-aaral para sa mga mag-aaral at teaching at non-teaching staffs.

Ngunit sa loob ng 20 taong pagtutulungan at kooperasyon ng mga mamamayan, nasanay na ang taumbayan sa kalakarang ito kaya nakalimutan na nilang kwestyunin kung responsibilidad ba nila ito sa simula pa lamang. Ang masaklap pa, parang naging responsibilidad na ito ng mga magulang lalo na ng mga g**o taon-taon.

Noong kasagsagan ng Brigada Eskwela, Agosto ngayong taon, maraming g**o ang kumatok sa puso ng mga netizen para sa donation para sa pag-renovate ng classrooms bilang paghahanda sa paparating na panuruang taon. Ilan sa kanila ang nag-post ng "BRIGADA ESKWELA: GCASH CHALLENGE" para manghingi ng ilang halaga para maisaayos at gawing presentable ang kanilang mga classroom. May mga g**o din na nanghihingi ng donasyon mapa-school supplies o pintura. Dahil walang pondong inilaan para sa Brigada Eskwela, napipilitan silang gumawa ng mga paraan para masiguradong ang kanilang mga estudyante ay magkakaroon ng conducive learning environment.

Mahigpit ding ipinagbabawal ng DepEd ang solicitation ng mga volunteers o stakeholders tuwing Brigada Eskwela alinsunod sa DepEd order no. 062, s. 222. Ngunit, kung walang pondo para dito at hindi maaaring mag solicit ang mga stakeholders, saan manggagaling ang budget para sa pagsasaayos ng mga paaralan?

Kung tutuusin, responsibilidad dapat ng pamahalaan ang paghahanda sa mga paaralan. Hindi dapat ito naipapasa sa mga g**o at pribadong mamamayan. Hindi rin dapat sa kanila nakaatang ang responsibilidad na kumalap ng pondo, lalo na ang mga g**o.

Sa lahat ng miyembro ng education stakeholders, nasa g**o ang pinakamabigat na responsibilidad tuwing Brigada Eskwela. Bagaman hindi sila required na kumilos at gumawa ng labor, wala silang ibang aasahang gumawa ng pagpipintura at paglilinis sa classroom, pagkukumpuni ng mga sirang upuan, at iba pang gawain sa paghahanda sa pagbabalik-eskwela. Kung gusto nilang kumuha ng trabahador gaya ng karpintero, walang silang choice kung hindi saluhin ang trabaho dahil walang silang natanggap na pondo para sa ipambabayad sa upa kapalit ng labor.

Ang mas nakakalungkot pa, madalas ay sariling pera ng mga g**o ang ginagamit nila para pagandahin ang mga classroom. Pinagkakasya nila ang kanilang maliit na sahod na hindi justified sa bigat ng kanilang workload para ipambili ng materyales.

Kahit hindi rin sila required na pagandahin at ayusin ang mga classroom, kinakailangan pa rin nila itong gawin dahil nagkakaroon ng classroom observations ang mga school heads o principals at kasama ang physical appearance at environments ng classrooms sa kanilang assessments.

Sa kanilang banda, hindi naman maipagkakaila na may matatanggap pa rin na benepisyo ang mga g**o sa pagboluntaryo para sa Brigada Eskwela. Ayon sa DepEd Order No.021, s. 2023, makakatanggap ang mga g**o ng service credit sa kada araw (o 8 hours) ng pagboboluntaryo nila. Maaring magamit ang service credit kapag nag-file ng sick leave ang isang g**o (o ang kanilang immediate family) para hindi ito makaltas sa kanilang sweldo.

Ang service credit ay nakukuha kapag ang isang g**o ay nakilahok sa Brigada Eskwela, nagsilbing Board of Election Inspectors (BEI) tuwing eleksyon, kapag sila ay nagtrabaho sa araw ng Sabado at Linggo para dumalo ng mga korikular na gawain/aktibidad na inaprubahan ng DepEd, pumasok sa araw ng holiday, at iba pa. Ngunit ang mga benepisyong ito kapalit ng walang sawang kapaguran nila para gawin ang trabahong hindi naman dapat nila ginagawa ay hindi sapat. Makatanggap man lamang sila ng bonus para sa oras at pagod na inilaan nila.

Kamakailan lang, naging sentro ng kontrobersiya ang P150 million DepEd confidential at intelligence funds para sa budget ng ahensya sa taong 2024. Ayon kay Duterte, may basehan daw ang proposed budget, ngunit sa mga nagdaang hearing tumanggi siyang magbigay ng mga detalye ukol dito. Walang malinaw na sagot kung saan gagamitin ang ganito kalaking pera. Walang transparency. Kung titingnan may kapasidad ang ahensya na maglaan ng napakalaking pondo kahit wala itong walang audit o disclosure sa publiko, ngunit wala silang nilalaan sa pagpapatayo at pagpapaayos ng mga silid-aralan tuwing magpapasukan. Hanggang ngayon, napakarami pa ring eskwelahan ang kulang sa classrooms, electric fan, at iba pang gamit.

Maganda ang layunin ng Brigada Eskwela dahil isa ito sa mga paraan para masiguradong handa ang mga paaralan para sa darating na panuruang taon. Naipaparamdam din nito sa mga stakeholder volunteers (mga magulang, LGU, komunidad, pribadong sektor o volunteers) na parte sila ng paaralan. Ngunit hindi dapat pasanin sa mamamayan ang pagsasaayos ng mga classroom. Dapat gawin ng pamahalaan ang kanilang tungkuling magbigay ng dekalidad na edukasyon sa mga mag-aaral.

Hindi maitatago sa diwa ng bayanihan at bolunterismo ang kakulangan ng DepEd sa serbisyo lalo na ang lumalalang krisis sa edukasyon sa bansa.

It’s crazy to think we were all brought into this world without warning. It's a marvel of nature that we came into being, with an o**m taking root in the womb and a fetus blossoming to form our existence. And behold, with the magic of existence, you stumbled upon this article.

Who knew? That from the fertile depths of the womb emerged a luminous o**m, it has grown to become a legendary lawyer, a brilliant scientist, a lover of your own, a best friend since high school, and the one who lovingly scoops your favorite frozen treat at the corner shop. I mean, thank God for the creation of ice cream, right?

The splendor of life is truly a sight to behold, with all its treasures of fortune, titles, love, possessions, and marvelous wonders.

Yet, alas, only those with opulence at their disposal can fully and comfortably indulge in life's lavishness. For the breadth of living can serve as a boon to certain souls, while for others, it remains a cost too high to bear.

The ice cream I mentioned, I’d like to think it was made for all. But it remains a luxury afforded by only some, while others are left to watch from the sidelines, yearning for but never indulging in the simple treat.

Forlornly, not all individuals are granted the opportunity to experience life in the same manner as the rest. And for that, many individuals find themselves pushed so far down a hole, or to a point beyond visible horizon, that they believe they have no option but to surrender to their fate and perish.

It's easy as one, two, and three to cite a scientific, sociological, or even a philosophical explanation for this Su***de Prevention Month piece and blabber on and on about how such complex phenomenons occur, (Like how I usually would excitedly do in any other article). The incorporation of technical jargon and citations can undoubtedly substantiate any scholarly work, as it serves as a primary basis for credibility.

However, in the process of writing this paper, I find myself in a constant state of deliberation between typing and deleting discussions from Emile Durkheim's suicidology, to the Neuroscience of Suicidal Behavior. Toiling away as I have endlessly tried to include all the relevant "factors" that purportedly drive individuals to end their own lives and make this paper seem “perfect”, I find myself feeling drained–almost defeated.

Perhaps, I should leave this kind of intellectual exercise to the scholars.

In truth, my greatest aspiration for this paper is not to present a pedagogical treatise on the subject, but rather to simply, yet desperately tell you: “𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦.”

If I were to be honest, I don’t know how else to say it in the most non-harmful rhetoric way.

I’d like to tell you to hang in there, but I understand if you’re carrying too much and it’s weighing you down. I’d like to tell you to hang in there, but I understand the load of sorrow, remorse, regret, frustration, and wrath that may prove unbearable for whatever reason it may be. I’d like to tell you to hang in there, but I understand the gravity of waking up every day and having to face a society where humans, sadly, aren’t so humane, where it reeks of expectation that a failure to attain it renders one bereft of worth.

Still, I’d like to tell you to hang in there.

Because even though we live in the kind of society where an ice cream is a luxury afforded by only some, I want you to attain that simple treat someday. Not because you have treasures of fortune, titles, possessions, and marvelous wonders; but because you’re an o**m that took root in the womb, a fetus that blossomed to form existence, and most of all, a human brave enough to accept the unexpected obligation of traversing the expense of existence.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | Players and Pawns


Have you ever considered the possibility of us being mere pawns in a larger game? With our round heads and small frames, are we sacrificed for the sake of the greater good and glory? A chess game, perhaps? Well, that's not how it's supposed to be.

In a chess game, played on a board with 64 squares, two players make their moves. Similarly, in our society, citizens and leaders are the players. Citizens make their moves through voting, advocacy, and active participation, while leaders shape policy decisions. Each move by these players can shake the figurative board of our nation, impacting its overall state. Just like chess players strategize and plan their next moves, citizens and leaders should align their beliefs with their values and vision ahead of political parties and candidates.

Much like the concept of checks and balances, chess requires an intricate balance between offense and defense. There's an existing balance of power that must be maintained to prevent any one player from dominating the game. In a similar vein, the goal in both scenarios is to checkmate the opponent. It's a game to either win or lose. In democracy, winning means achieving the common good through the will of the majority while protecting the rights of the minority. Losing isn't a defeat; it's a reflection of the people's will and a benefit to all.

Effective democratic leadership demands strategic thinking, which sometimes requires sacrificing short-lived popularity. Popularity is a crucial aspect of this form of government, and with it comes great responsibility. Just as chess players adapt to their opponent's moves, leaders must adapt their policies and actions to address the concerns and priorities of their times.

Chess players improve their game by analyzing their moves, learning from both their successes and failures. It is essential for citizens and leaders to act, learn, and avoid repeating past mistakes, as Liza Soberano's character in Alone/Together wisely puts it, "To forget is to deny the present any significant meaning."

Imagine a chessboard with 64 squares and small wooden pieces that move—endless possibilities exist. Democracy offers various paths, much like the round world and the complexity of infinities, but it can be predictable.

Why do we relate democracy to a chess game, you ask? Because we are the players, not mere pawns.
