The teachers do not deserve public trial

I firmly believe that teachers will not willfully hurt or abuse students.There are certain circumstances that trigger the teacher to do such act. Under normal situation, teachers love their work and they know the consequence of hurting or abusing students.People...

CITATION for Jesse RobredoRamon Magsaysay Award Presentation Ceremonies31 August 2000, Manila, PhilippinesIt is sad but true. Democratic government is not necessarily good government. Too often, elections yield power to the few, not the many. Injustices linger beneath the rhetoric of equality. Corruption and incompetence go on and on. Voters, alas, do not always choose wisely. And yet, in Asia and the world at large, much is at risk when democracy founders, because democracy is the hope of so many. Jesse Manalastas Robredo entered Philippine politics...

BAKIT HINDI LAHAT PWEDE MAGING GURO?

Bakit hindi dapat guro ang gurong hindi nagbabasa?Bakit hindi dapat guro ang gurong hindi nagtuturo sa estudyante kung paano magbasa?Bakit nga ba kailangang magbasa?Sasagutin ko ang tatlong tanong na ito.Unang-una, hindi maaaring no-read, no-write ang isang guro.Ano ang dapat binabasa ng guro?

ADDITIONAL 2 YEARS IN K TO 12

What are the two additional years in the K to 12 curriculum for? Remember that one of the main reasons for extending basic education is to decongest the curriculum. We want to give students two more years to learn what they are now learning in only 10. Teachers today are forced to rush through their lessons because they want to finish the curriculum, whether students can keep up or not. Starting this year, therefore, we expect a lot more depth or internalization of learning from our public schools. Another reason for extending basic education...

LIVING LIKE NOT AN ANGEL

No one can claim in this world as righteous man.Everyone commits mistake and sinned to God. Everyone has his own idiosyncrasies. Everyone therefore is a sinner.Being a priest or a pastor or even a contemplative member of a congregation is not a guarantee of being free from sins. The question is …who is not a sinner?...the answer is ..NONE. The least that we can do to become a better person is to commit least wrongful act against fellow men, or against other creations of God and GoD...
