The School Personnel of Pasil Elementary School have made a commitment dedicated to destigmatizing, prioritizing and promoting resources surrounding mental health. Our ultimate goal is to highlight and promote the importance of making mental health and wellness a priority.

We believe that this is an action-oriented initiative that will continue the conversation and inspire action by bringing all the key players in the area of mental health together.

We are taking the pledge here and pledge to prioritize our mental health!

Taking this pledge identifies us as a leader and ally for mental health advocacy for ourselves and our communities.

We pledge right now that this is our priority and we commit to it fully.

So help us God!

In our veins run the blood of the ancient maritime people. Our very names are evidences of this: we call ourselves Ilokano (people of look or 'bay'), Tausug (people of the sug or 'current'), Subanon (people of suba or 'river'), Palawan (people of the palaw or 'island'), Tagalog (people of the alog or shallow waters/ilog or 'river'), Maranaw (people of danaw or 'lake'), and Kapampangan (bordering the pampang or riverbank). Our folklores have gods and goddesses riding in flying boats; we imagine that the aldaw ('sun') is lumulubog (literally 'drowning' but it means sunset) and sumisikat (literally 'rising'), and is being devoured by the bakunawa ('sea dragon' among the Visayans) during lawo ('eclipse'). Our ancient writings follow the contour of the rivers or shores. Our ancient communities, named after balangay or ancient boat, were once connected by rivers--those residing by the iraya ('headwaters') and those by the ilawud ('downstream'). Ancient Kapampangans called their fellow barangay-mates kabangka ('kabarangay').

The kabilang buhay for our ancestors was an extension of our maritime world. Kabaong or coffins in the ancient times were shaped like bangka or sea vessel (thus, the cadaver is bangkay). The cap of the Manunggul Jar of Palawan depicts a bangkero or oarsman transporting the bangkay in a boat to kabilang buhay. While the ancient gravesite markers of the Ivatans in Batanes and of the Sama-Bajaus in the Great Santa Cruz Island in Zamboanga City are shaped like tataya (boat in Ivatan) and lepa (boat in Sama-Bajau). The hanging coffins of Sagada, Mt. Province are also boat-like.

Our ancestors also practiced reinternment by collecting the bodily remains (kalansay) of their departed loved ones and containing them in a banga or jar, like the Manunggul Jar and those discovered in Maitum in Sarangani Province. Through this practice, our ancestors seemed to bring back the physical body of their loved ones to the representation of a mother's womb (which was the banga)—most likely the same idea when a bangkay was placed in a boat-shaped coffin, for the boat was universally likened to a mother.

No wonder why we produce the biggest number of seafarers in the world. We have a proud maritime heritage. Water is us.

Seeing this post? Curious what is this all about? In 2021 we are commemorating the Philippine part in the achievement of science and humankind in circumnavigating the planet for the first time. Central in this commemoration is the 500th anniversary of the Victory at Mactan on 27 April 2021. These and more are collectively known as the 2021 Quincentennial Commemorations in the Philippines by virtue of Executive Order No. 103 (2020). Know more about the event here: 👇

Even in our folklore, the father is viewed as a disciplinarian. Like in the creation myth of the Visayans, the father wants his children to be responsible. And so one day, he pretends to be very angry at them, and the latter scatter all over the house, many of them flee outside. Those who hide inside the bedroom become the datu class; those who stay in the main room become the timawa or freemen; while those behind the walls become olipon or slaves. Whereas, those who reach the kitchen with the pots become the Negritos; and the rest who leave the house, become foreigners.

Yet one has to take note that this story documented in the Visayas around the 1590s begins with the description of the father as a dedicated, hardworking one.

May we all find ways to make our amahan, itay, tata, bapa, amang, daddy, and papa feel loved and appreciated. Happy father's day.

. . . .

The National Quincentennial Committee encourages interest in rediscovering the world of our ancestors. This is inspired by the efforts of Jose Rizal and his fellow reformists-scholars who debunked the misconceptions that our ancestors were barbaric and savages, unworthy of appreciation. Positioning our ancestors' ways of life upon their encounter with the Magellan-Elcano expedition is essential in the Philippine commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the first circumnavigation of the world.

DEPED’S MELCs DOWNLOADABLE FOR FREE ON DEPED COMMONS

The Department of Education’s (DepEd) Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) may now be downloaded for free on DepEd Commons (commons.deped.gov.ph/melc) starting today.

“We have made the MELCs available for free download at DepEd Commons to help our teachers focus on what is most essential given the challenge in learning delivery this school year,” said Undersecretary Alain Pascua.

Included in the link are the K-12 MELCs and its corresponding guidelines, which was prepared by the Bureau of Curriculum Development (BCD), under Director Jocelyn Andaya, and approved by Undersecretary Diosdado San Antonio (Curriculum and Instruction).

According to the MELC guidelines (also downloadable for free), the MELCs is part of the Department’s response to develop resilient education systems, especially during emergencies, and will enable DepEd to focus instruction on the most essential and indispensable competencies.

“We are trying to make everything as accessible as we can, through DepEd Commons and our other available channels. It is upon us to make sure our teachers and learners have everything they need in order to continue learning” Pascua explained.

Previously, DepEd warned of groups and individuals selling printed learning materials and modules online, and reminded that these materials can all be accessed for free via DepEd Commons, the Learning Portal. Printouts will also be provided for those enrolled in public schools, and that DepEd is also busy working on using Radio and TV for instruction.
