The Parents-Employers’ Asso-ciation of ANHS once again gave recognition to the Outstanding Teach-ers and Support Staff for the school year 2018-2019 during the Gawad Pa-rangal 2019 held at Br.

Maria Ana M. Mutuc of TVET- Events Management Services NCIII is proclaimed as the new ANHS Ambassador during the 8th Annual Search held on September 23, 2019 at the Br. Rafael S. Donato FSC Center for the Performing Arts.

She performed her interpretation of I Dreamed a Dream, a song from the famous musical Les Miserables, in which she made the audience in great awe and brought to them the beauty of a class theatrical music. Aside from her cool timbre and alto-ish pitch, what added more to the amazement of the crowd is the artistic backdrop, her finesse costume and make-up, and her over-all projection on stage. Indeed, she exhibited her full talent and a performance that is worth-watching.

There were a total of 13 contestants who tried their luck and confidently showcased their skills and talents in singing songs of different genres, folk and modern dancing, and martial arts and acting. Roaring cheers filled the auditorium as students supported their classmates who represented their class. The 1st Runner up winner is the Invictus, composed of the duo singers Angelica B. Polvorosa, 10A and Michael John G. Corral, 12B-ABM, who were able to harmonize rap and bal-lad songs that caught the hearts of the judges and the audience. The 2nd Runner Up winners are Edmar P. Naag, 12B-ABM and Juvy Cate M. Fernandez, 11A-ABM who both showcased their talents in singing pop music.

The event was spon-sored by the Parents-Employers’ Association of ANHS which aimed at honing talents and building characters of our students, both in the Junior and Senior High School and in Technical-Vocational Education and Training (TVET). Indeed, everyone showed what a true Lasallian is all about during the finals night!

The English department held a week-long activity that promotes strong commitment among students to use Eng-lish for effective communication. The event was launched on September 9, 2019 at the St. Benilde Cafeteria with the theme “English Language: Strengthening the 21st Century Learners’ Commitment to Effec-tive Communication.” Specifically, it aimed mold the students’ confidence in expressing themselves creatively in Eng-lish and to promote the importance of effective communication in English.

Several activities were facilitat-ed such as Blackout Poetry for the Grade 10 and 12E students, Group Story Telling for the Junior High School and Spoken Word Poetry and Speech Choir Contest for the whole Senior High School which were held in their respective English clas-ses. There were also contests for the Inter grade levels such as the Media Mural for Grade 10 and 11 where the students were

challenged to make a mural about their literacy in media and how it is used for Social Transformation in Effective Com-munication. The group of Cleofe Layacan, Erinez Espedido, Carren Joy C. Villacer, and Carlos Jhunnel Valdez of Grade 11B got the 1st Prize Award. Another contest that was truly amazing and challenged the capability of the students is the ANHS Talks which was adapted from the TEDTalk show. The 1st Prize Award went to Raizen Marcus B, Ladines (12-C) who delivered his talk with wit and substance. There was also a contest on Original Song Composition in which each class had a representative consisting a maximum of five members only. The charming “Little Einstein” composed of Bernalyn Kim Baldado, Erinez Espedido, Lencis Bael Corpuz, Sinai Selerio, Nikka Joy Villamar-tin from Grade 11-B won the 1st Prize and the entertained the crowd during the cul-minating activity.

The members of Punlad and Ripples facilitated and discussed a Con-versation English module focusing on giving, accepting, and refusing an advice. To establish confidence and commitment in using the English Language among students, the department also gave recog-nition to those students who were caught speaking in English most of the times during the English Week.

During the culminating activity on September 13, 2019, Mr. Jordan L. Jara-belo, English Teacher and Punlad Moder-ator, expressed their commendation and gratitude to all English Teachers of ANHS who displayed their cooperation and ex-tended their efforts towards the success of the event.

SECOND QUARTER 2019-2020 2 Lathalain Human Rights and Democracy Week, binigyang pansin

Ang ILFP- Social Action Program at Institutional Lasallian Justice and Peace Committee ay naglunsad ng mga programa upang bigyang pansin ang Hu-man Rights and Democracy Week 2019 kasama ang miyembro ng ANHS Mag-wayen, Kampil/ABM at BEC na naganap noong Setyembre 18, 2019 sa St. Benilde Cafeteria.

Ang mga programang isinagawa ay nagpamulat sa mga mag-aaral ng ANHS ng kani-kanilang indibidwal na karapatan at maprotektahan nila ang ka-nilang sarili laban sa maling paratang. Nabigyang diin na “walang mayaman o mahirap pagdating sa ating karapatan.”

Kasabay nito ay ang pagtalakay ng Minimum Age of Criminal Responsi-bility and Voter’s Education na pinangunahan nina Ms. Faye Alma G. Balanon at Mr. Carlo M. Diño na naganap noong September 19, 2019 sa Bro. Rafael S. Donato FSC Center for the Performing Arts. Ayon kay Diño, "Hindi dahilan ang kahira-pan upang gumawa ng kasalanan." Ito ay tungkol sa pagbababa ng edad ng mga batang maaaring makulong at ang mga nasa tamang edad na ngunit hindi pa re-histrado bilang botante. Pinaliwanag nila kung bakit ibinaba ang edad ng mga batang pwedeng makulong at ang kahalagan ng pagboto. Ipinabatid nilang na-rarapat lang na malaman natin ang nangyayari sa ating bansa, upang sa ganon ay magabayan natin ng maayos ang mga kabataan tungo sa tamang gawain.

Kadugtong nito ay ang pag anunsiyo ng mga nanalo sa patimpalak na "Dokyu mo, I-share mo,-Digitales: Mobile Documentary na naganap noong Sep-tember 20, 2019 sa Promenade.

Iba’t-ibang magkakasunod na programa ang nilahukan ng mga mag-aaral sa pamumuno ni Bb. Ana Ria B. Aguilar na siyang modereytor ng ILFP-Social Action Program ng ANHS. Ang mga nasabing gawain ay naghuhubog ng mabubuting asal ng mga Lasalyanong mag-aaral.

Una na rito ay ang unang bahagi ng Blood Letting Activity na ginanap noong ika-12 ng Setyembre sa LSGH-Parmenie (Main Clinic) kung saan nag-doneyt ng dugo ang mga mag-aaral, alumni, at empleyado ng LSGH bilang pagtsuporta sa pro-grama ng Philippine Red Cross para sa mga mamamayang nangan-gailangan.

Kasunod nito ay ang pag-tugon sa International Coastal Clean-up (ICC) 2019 sa Las Piñas-Parañaque Wetland Park-LPPWP, Coastal Road, Parañaque City noong Setyembre 21, kung saan ilang piling mag-aaral nang ANHS at mga boluntaryong miyembro mula sa ibat-ibang organ-isasyon ang nakilahok sa pagpapalinis at pagsasayos nang mga basurang nakakalat sa dalampasigan. Ito’y tu-gon sa sulat ni Pope Francis (Second

Encyclical Letter) na may pamagat na “Laudato Si: On Care for Our Com-mon Home" na naglalalayong mahi-kayat ang bawat isa na maging ma-

pagmatyag sa ating mundong ginagala-wan. Ito rin ay patunay na ang mga mag-aaral ng ANHS ay mga Lasalyanong mayroong pagkakaisa, pagtutulungan, pananalig sa Diyos at malasakit sa kapwa at pamayanan.

Nagpamalas din ng pag-tutulungan ang mga mag-aaral ng Sen-ior High School Grade 12 sa pagpapat-uloy ng house-building project ng Gawad Kalinga sa Quirino Ave., Brgy. #339 Interior Gem 5, Quezon City noong Setyembre 25, 2019. Hindi ina-

lintana ng mga mag-aaral ang init at hirap sa pagtatrabaho sa nasabing lu-gar na syang ipinagpasalamat ng lubos ng mga taong nagpapatakbo ng proyekyo. Upang maproseso ang kara-nasan ng mga mag-aaral, si Sr. Celine B. Borromeo ng Grade School Christian Living Department ay nagsagawa ng Recollection sa Chapel of the Divine Child noong Setyembre 25, 2019.

Samantala, ilan sa mga mag-aaral, alumni, at guro ng ANHS, katu-wang ang mga opisyal ng PEA, ay nag-sagawa ng Tree Planting Activity sa Mt. Balagbag, Brgy. San Isidro, Rodriguez, Rizal noong ika-28 ng Setyembre. Ang gawaing ito ay inorganisa ng ILFP at ng Lasallian Mission Office ng La Salle Green Hills at ito ay naglalayong makahikayat sa pamayanang Lasayano

Ginawaran ng sertipiko ng pagkilala si Julius C. Monte de Ramos ng Grade 12B sa pagkamit ng Ika-sampung Gantimpala sa ginanap na Liyab 2019 - 17th NCR-Wide Journalism Press Conference na may temang “Gampanin ng mga Kabataang Mamamahayag: Masidhing Pagpapapaalab ng Pluma Tungo sa Pag-mumulat ng Masa” noong ika-12 at ika-19 ng Oktubre sa PNU-Manila.

Ito ang pangalawang taong paglahok ng ANHS sa nasabing pagtitipon. Kabilang sa nakipagtagisan ng galing ay sina Lencis Bael Corpuz ng 11B para sa News Writing; Lovely Jane Villamartin ng 11B at Adam Joshua Losentes ng 12B para sa Pagsulat ng Balita; Amanda Elevazo ng 12B para sa Editorial Writing; Mary Catherine Porton ng 12B para sa Pagsulat ng Tudling; Jose Dacut ng 8A para sa Features Writing; Steven Allen Zilmar ng 10A para sa pagsulat ng Lathalain; Nariela Lozano ng 11A para sa Sports Writing; John Ray Tupaz ng 12D para sa Pagsulat ng Balitang Sports; Gienella Ara Nardo ng 11C para sa Paglalarawang Tudling; at si Princes Mischa Rei Del Moro ng 11A para sa Copyreading and Headline Writing. Ang gawaing ito ay dinaluhan ng mga mag-aaral na miyembro ng Campus Journalism mula sa iba’t ibang paaralan sa NCR.

Ang mga mag-aaral ay ginabayan ni G. Jordan L. Jarabelo, Punlad Mod-erator at Bb. Bernadette P. Nolasco, Academic Coordinator. Isang karangalan ng ANHS ang dala ng gantimpalang ito kaya nagpahayag ng pagbati at lubos na kasiyahan ang punungguro ng paaralan na si G. Rey B. Ducay.

na pangalagaan ang kalikasan para sa kinabukasan ng susunod na henera-syon.

Isa ring makabuluhang gawain ang naisakatuparan noong ika-9 ng Oktubre kung saan ang unang grupo ng mag-aaral mula sa SHS Grade 11 ay bumisita sa Sanctuary Center of National Center for Men-tal Health sa pangangalaga ng Depart-ment of Social Welfare and Develop-ment sa Nueve de Febrero, Manda-luyong City. Ang ikalawang grupo ay bumisita naman noong sumunod na araw sa nasabing lugar. Nagkaroon ng kamalayan ang mga mag-aaral sa kala-gayan ng mga kapatid nating may es-pesyal na kundisyon sa pag-iisip. Gayundin, batid nila ang kahalagahan ng pagkakaroon ng malusog at maayos na kaisipan. Upang lalong mapahala-gahan ang naging karanasan ng mga mag-aaral, si Sr. Celine B. Borromeo ay muling nagbigay ng rekoleksyon na inihanda ng ILFP Campus Ministry.

Ayon kay Bb. Ana Ria B. Aguilar, moderytor ng ILFP Social Action “Hindi madali ang mag-organisa ng mga gawain pero napa-pawi ang lahat ng pagod ko kapag nakikita kong may malaking impak ito sa mga mag-aaral sa komunidad.”

Kasaysayan: Ginunita sa Linggo ng Araling Panlipunan

Muling ginunita at binigyang halaga ang kasaysayan ng Pilipinas sa pagdiriwang ng Linggo ng Araling Panlipunan mula ika-7 hanggang ika-11 ng Oktubre. Alinsunod sa temang ibinigay ng National Historical Com-mission of the Philippines (NHCP), ang pagdiriwang ay nanghikayat sa mga mag-aaral ng ANHS na magsama-sama bilang isang komunidad na nagkaisa para sa kasaysayang Filipino.

Iba’t-ibang gawain at patim-palak ang isinagawa kung saan nagpakita ng talento ang mga mag-aaral at nagbigay kamalayan tungkol sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas at kung paano nila ito gagamitin sa hinaharap. Ilan sa mga gawain ay Paligsahan sa Paglikha ng Tula at Sanaysay, Paglikha ng Poster-Slogan, Tagisan ng Talino sa Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas mula sa Pre-historikong Panahon hanggang sa Unang Republika, at Pagsasabuhay sa Mahahalagang Tao sa Kasasayan ng Pilipinas. Ang mga gawaing ito ay ini-handa at pinangunahan ni Bb. Nericka Palma, guro ng Araling Panlipunan.

OPINION

The ‘No Homework Policy’ has been proposed by lawmakers at the House of Representatives which aims to prohibit teachers from assigning stu-dents academic work that should be completed outside the regular school hours. This might sound like a great news to most students who have been taking home-work as a gruesome work and burden to their life. Surprisingly, DepEd has ex-pressed its support to this policy stating that this would “enable learners to have more quality time with their parents, family, and friends by limiting the homework [and] assignment to a reasonable quantity on school days and by eliminating the same during weekends.” It added that the measure would allow the students to find balance between their academic development and personal growth as it pro-vides ample time for enjoyable activities with their families.

As students of ANHS, we do not agree to such proposition. We believe that giving homework is our teachers’ way of assessing our learning and skills after a given lesson or training. This is a follow-up validation of the effectiveness of their teaching-learning approaches and efforts to their students. We have al-ready accepted in our system that homework is part of a student’s life. We do not see it as punishment or senseless burden to us, but it serves as a challenging opportunity to learn more.

Most of the students of ANHS are working at the same time. It is undenia-ble that a couple of homework from several subjects add more pressure and bur-den to them as they do not have much time to rest and socialize. On the other hand, as adults, this is teaching them to manage their time wisely, prioritize their tasks, and do their best to be responsible in accomplishing the given activity. These skills are necessary for them to survive and be more successful in life.

Students can do their homework at home and it somehow limits them from procrastinating and sticking themselves on the screen with video games. This is an extended way of teaching them to value their time and spend it on more worthy and necessary things.

ANHS promotes blended learning which allows the students to do their homework online at home. We are totally fine with it. In this generation, we need to be equipped with skills and knowledge that are needed in 4th Industrial Revolu-tion, and these skills are not limited to be learned in the four corners of our class-room. Learning is a non-stop process. Through homework, we can improve our-selves and prepare for a more challenging life outside the school.

Hindi na lingid sa lahat ang kasalukuyang kalbaryo ng mga Pilipino sa kalagayan ng trapiko sa bansa partikular na sa buong NCR. Nagiging pangkarani-wan na lang ang makarinig ng isang Pilipinong nagrereklamo at nagpapahayag ng matinding pagkadismaya sa nararanasan nilang hirap tuwing papasok sa tra-baho, sa paaralan o saan mang patutunguhan.

Isa sa mga epekto ng matinding problema sa trapiko ang pagkaubos o pagkabawas sa kanilang tinatawag na "productivity time." Nababawasan ang oras nila sa pahinga o pagtratrabaho dahil napupunta ang inilaan nilang oras para sa mahabang biyahe. Kadalasan, ang mga empleyado ay dumarating ng late sa ka-nilang pinapasukan. Ito ay dahilan para maapektuhan ang kanilang pagganap sa kani-kanilang tungkulin at ang kanilang dedikasyon sa trabaho.

Kung ating bibigyang pansin, maliban sa patuloy na pagdami ng mga sasakyan at kakulangan ng maluwag at alternatibong daan, ang puno’t dulo ng patuloy na pagbigat ng trapiko ay ang kawalan ng disiplina, etiketa, at konside- rasyon ng mga tsuper at pedestrian sa paggamit ng mga daan at ang pagka-karoon ng mga vendors sa hindi tamang lugar.

Kung ganoon, paano nga ba masosulusyunan ang trapiko? Sa palagay ng iba ay hindi na masosulusyunan ito ngunit ang iba nama'y may mungkahi sa paglutas ng trapiko tulad ng pagmodernisa ng mass transport system sa bansa. Mapapadali diumano nito ang paglakbay ng mga tao at paggalaw ng mga produk-to at serbisyo. Kabilang sa mga mungkahi ang pagsasaayos ng linya ng LRT-1, LRT-2, MRT-3 at PNR na kung saan ang libu-libong pasahero ang umaasa rito araw-araw at ang pag-upgrade ng mga jeepney tulad ng pag unlad ng mga si-yudad. Ngunit sa aking palagay, isa sa pinakamakakatulong dito ay ang pagka-kaisa natin at pagkakaroon ng disiplina sa tuwing tayo ay nasa kalsada. Malaking aspeto ito upang magkaroon ng kaayusan sa daan at maiwasan ang patuloy na paglala ng problema sa trapiko ng ating bansa.

Kamakailan ay pinag usapan ng buong bansa ang isang transwoman kaugnay sa nangyaring insidente sa isang mall sa Cubao, Quezon City, kung saan nais gumamit ng banyo ng babae. Kinilala siya bilang si Gretchen Custudio Diez. Dinala sya ng isang janitress papunta sa security office ng nasabing mall, at doon nagpaliwanag ang transwoman. Dahil dito naging mabilis ang pagkalat ng isyu sa buong bansa at nagkaroon ng samo't saring komento laban kay Diez. Subalit hindi hadlang ito sa kanya para sumuko at ipawalang bahala ang nang-yari. Kamakailan matatandaan na dumalo siya sa Malacañang upang makipag-pulong kay Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte at alamin kong sang-ayon ito kaugnay sa pagpasa ng SOGIE Equality Bill. Ipinahayag ng pangulo na sinusu-portahan nya si Diez at ang pagsulong ng SOGIE bill. Isang masayang balita ito sa mga kapatid nating LGBTIQA+. Matatandaan din na nilagdaan ni Senator Risa Hontiveros, ang Primary Author ng SOGIE Equality Bill (Sexual Orientation Gender Identity Expression) bagay na proprotekta sa mga lesbyan, bakla, bisexu-al, transgender atbp. Kasalukuyan may dalawang panukala na tumatalakay sa SOGIE at ito ay Senate Bill 159-Anti Discrimination Act, sa senado at ang House Bill 258-SOGIE Equality Act sa kamara.

Para sa akin, sang-ayon ako sa ipinapasang batas na ito sa senado dahil lahat tayo ay pantay-pantay - babae, lesbyan, bakla, bisexual, transgender, atbp. Lahat tayo ay nararapat na respetuhin ng lipunan at makatanggap ng ma- ayos na pagtrato mula sa ibang tao. Alam ko maraming hindi sumang ayon dito kaya sa tingin ko ay kailangan nating dumaan pa sa mabusising pag-aaral sa isyung ito. Isipin natin ang kapakanan ng ating kapwa upang maiwasan natin ang hindi pagkakaunawaan.

Bilang isang Lasalyano, natutunan ko ang magmalasakit at magkaroon ng puso sa bawat tao anuman ang kasarian, estado sa buhay, edukasyon, relihi-yon, kultura at pinanggalingan. Natutunan at naranasan ko na respetuhin kung ano man ang gender preference ko at pananaw sa buhay. Ang mahalaga, patuloy akong mamumuhay ng may asal ng isang tunay na Lasalyano at gabay ng may lalang ng lahat, ang Poong Maykapal.

SECOND QUARTER 2019-2020 6

By Presila M. Casungcad, 9A

In celebration of the World Teacher’s Day, we decided to feature and laud two of the best teachers that we have here in ANHS. We believe that they de-serve a roaring recognition as they continue to commit themselves and share their time and skills to us in this community. Indeed, this school is blessed with out-standing educators who continuously provide quality education and selflessly spread their passion to help the marginalized. Let’s grab this avenue to know them

more.

MISS CRISTINA P. SARMIENTO Education: Master of Science in Teaching Major in Chemistry (MSTCHEM) - units, De La Salle University, Manila

Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, Far Eastern University, Manila Awards: Outstanding Teacher in ANHS for S.Y. 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2019. Length of Service in ANHS: 19 Years

How does the Outstanding Teacher Award affect your perception towards your work and yourself? The award is just an incentive. I look at it as part of God’s gift. What are your struggles and sacrifices for working in ANHS? Preparation o f le sson plan, activities and experiments can b e time consuming since I have multiple preparations. Likewise, classroom management, giving advice that will work well with student, dealing with different behaviors displayed in the classroom are some of the challenges. My travel time from home to school and vice versa is a big struggle since I live in Las Piñas City.

What is the secret to your strong commitment to ANHS? Teaching is a calling and a ministry. God placed me in ANHS for a certain reason and purpose that is to serve the stu-dents and community partners. Philippians 4:13 says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” The Lord is the source of my strength and He is the strength of my life. What teaching strategies/principles have you been applying to your students? I use small group learning activities. I encourage the students to work together b y conducting scientific experiments and doing practical activities that can be applied to real-life situations. What is your advice to your fellow Lasallians and to the young educators out there? Use your time wise ly so that you can sub mit the req uirements on time . Have patience and take time for yourself—relax, exercise, and go out for a date!

MR. JOSE ALBERT M. MUTUC Education: Trainers Methodology Level 1, Asian Entrepreneurs Technological Institute Inc./ Hairdressing National Certificate II,

TESDA Awards: Outstanding TVET Trainer in ANHS for S.Y. 2013 and 2019 Length of Service in ANHS: 11 Years

How does the Outstanding Teacher Award affect your perception towards your work and yourself? I was awarded my first outstand-ing teacher recognition during my fifth year of teaching at the ANHS TVET program of La Salle Green Hills. During that time ,for me, it felt more like a gratitude from the school for being part of this institution. After that I felt like I wanted to learn more, so I can teach more. I wanted to become more effective and a better educator. This year, I was blessed to be recognized again as an outstanding teacher/trainer and it somehow felt different. It felt like my work and my capacity to teach was validated and that I was doing a good job. For me to be recognized by such an institu-tion like La Salle Green Hills is like an added fuel to keep the fire burning inside me, and that is exactly how I feel. What are your struggles and sacrifices for working in ANHS? As a full-time businessman running two hair salons and being a part-time

teacher, the biggest challenge for me is balancing my busy schedule. Both business and teaching have their own demands and it can get really overwhelming sometimes. Sometimes you need to meet a lot of deadlines for the school during a busy schedule in the salon. Staying late at night after a tiring day in the salon to finish a lesson plan or a presentation to the class can be inevitable at times. What is the secret to your strong commitment to ANHS? I guess my secret for staying committed to ANHS are my students. Being able to share my knowledge and seeing that somehow helped change lives to some of them. Having the chance to work abroad to have a better income or putting up their own salon after a year or two, I guess that is our reward as teachers. The privilege of being a part of a beautiful change to someone’s life is a great thing to be committed to. What teaching strategies/principles have you been applying to your students? I have always b een a be liever of Happy Learning. I th ink lessons should b e presented not only as interesting but fun as well. As a student, I can recall that I enjoyed going to class with my teachers who are fun and not too formal. Having that balance makes your class far from being boring. I myself do my research by watching tutorials and interesting vlogs of what is new with regard to beauty and fashion. Whenever I come across an interesting tutorial or vlog that I know would benefit my students, I always make it a point to share it with them. I find it effective because there were times that they were the ones who would recommend something for me to watch. I often encourage my students to find time to practice the new skills that they learned from the school. As a hairdresser myself looking back from the time I started, I would say that it took me five years of practice before I can call myself a real hairdresser who knows and understands what I was doing. What is your advice to your fellow Lasallians and to the young educators out there? I th ink my advice would b e, to try to be with the right group of people . Sur-round yourself with happy and positive people whom you can learn from and are fun to be with.

Indeed, LSGH-ANHS is packed with highly-skilled and genuinely passionate teachers and trainers who continue to inspire, care, and hone their students who once had lost their dreams, self-worth and purpose in life. Hence, we invite and encourage the last, the least, and the lost out there to rekindle your hope and strive to be a better person by getting yourself a good education. It’s never too late. You are very much welcome in this school. LSGH-ANHS accepts you and is willing to help you reach your dreams and live a new and better life. Animo!
