    THE HCCB HERALD Vol. 2

    The Continuing Saga

    for ExcellenceBy: Allyn Mae Ferrer

    Achieving excellence is a

    reward for hardship, dedication

    and passion. It is something that

    motivates an individual to

    achieve more and to believe that

    for every endeavor, recompense

    follows.

    For almost 13 years of

    service, Holy Child Colleges of

    Butuan is considered as one ofthe most progressive schools in

    Caraga, having competitive

    students that have the

    willingness to serve and to give

    pride to his progressive

    institution. This year, its

    surprising and good to hear that

    many of the students of HCCB

    are continually gaining excellence.

    This means that HCCB is an

    institution that continuouslycreates efficient and skillful

    students, by giving pride to our

    institution, those achievers of

    excellence will serve as an

    evidence that HCCB is one the

    best schools in Caraga Region

    for it molds every students

    character into benevolent and

    ample ones.

    Truly, Holy Child Colleges

    of Butuan is an institution thatwas designed precept of passion

    for service and excellence, but it

    serves every individual and mold

    them into passionate ones that

    will fulfill their purposes and

    perform it with an aim of

    excellence not just for the sake of

    its goal but for the sake of

    people.

    Who are

    teachers after

    all?By: Julie Mae Ebasco

    Teaching is a professionthat teaches other

    profession

    Molders of mind, heralders

    of knowledge, second parents

    and educators. These are some of

    the roles of a teacher. Will there

    be any profession without a

    teacher? Imagine a worldwithout teachers. It could be a

    world of ignorance.

    We are the products of

    the new generation molded by

    our beloved teachers. We all

    started as innocent ones, but by

    the help of our teachers, we

    became aware and knowledgeable

    about this world.

    Doctors, lawyers, CPAs,

    nurses, engineers, and someother professions would not be

    accomplished when teachers

    didnt mold them and educate

    them. There would be no other

    professions without our educators.

    Teaching profession is the most

    caring profession. Why? Because

    by choosing this profession, you

    just dont think about being a

    teacher but you also think about

    how to lift your students up inorder for them to have goals and

    to continue pursuing their

    ambitions.

    Truly, teaching is such a

    noble profession because of the

    hardships that a teacher invests

    for the sake of their students

    learning is incomparable.

    2010 Extramurals:Indeed Full of Fun

    By: Aiza Oliverio

    Can a week compensate a

    whole lot of fun? Maybe yes or

    others may object. But for the

    HCCB Family and Staff, a week

    of happiness, gladness and

    enjoyment was born to tickle and

    rob smiles in everybodys face.

    Students, teachers

    administrative staff, even

    hospital personnels, the NBN-

    HCCB TV 9 Broadcastingpersonnels, and other guests

    joined as one in celebrating the

    2010 extramurals which lasted

    for almost a week starting from

    February 10-14, 2010.

    Departmental booths

    presentations including LCO

    (League of Campus Organization)

    and games made the place a total

    place of laughters. You cant

    even recognize the hardships andburdens looming in their hearts

    but only joy and only that.

    Filipinos are indeed a

    happy people and that was the

    reason why the celebration was

    filled with countless chuckles and

    giggles and the voices that have

    resounded in the field of HCCB

    Everybody participated

    everybody indulged in varioussurprises and they found deep

    Mr. Antonio Yumang, themain organizer was satisfied

    with the result. His impossible

    but reachable games could

    always be a part of students

    mind with the cooperation of Mr.

    Glen Pacot.

    For the

    Founder/President and the

    Board of Trustees, this event

    marked again the start of

    collecting amount smiles andhoping this will continue.

    It was a week of fun and

    our hearts were full of limitless

    smiles that will forever be

    treasured for the rest of our

    lives.

    Implementation ofPrescribed

    Uniform, is itexisting?By: Gilbert M. Makiling

    To recognize people in

    their fields of work, we

    sometimes observe them by the

    way they dress up themselves,

    put facial toners as well as their

    manner of speaking. They are

    proud to wear it wherever theygo.

    School uniform serves as

    the link between students and

    school. It serves as gate pass in

    order to know if you belong in

    the institution. Others may

    acknowledge you in looking at

    your uniform.

    As Mr. Bryan Garcia,

    SSG President stressed that

    wearing complete uniformshould be observed upon

    entering the school premises. It

    means that no one is allowed to

    attend classes without wearing

    the proper uniforms.According to the Students

    Handbook, all student are required

    to wear prescribe uniform in the

    campus at all times, unless special

    occasion requires them to be in

    casual dress. Therefore, it must befollowed and abided by all

    students

    But now, as we observed,

    many students starting from first

    year up to fourth year, instead of

    wearing prescribed uniforms,

    dressed up in a backless like

    outfit and miniskirts without

    knowing the malicious eyes and

    backbiters gossip them,

    completely disregarding whats

    the essence of uniform.

    Is that a true student? It

    just shadows the reflection of the

    word uniform that serves as

    the official dress of the school.

    Uniforms bear integrity,

    purity and uprightness of

    students. If one resists to follow

    it, so it means he violates school

    policy.

    Students, were calling

    your attention to act your duty in

    wearing uniform.

    In that ground, we will

    just stress a phrase: Abide what

    is right and not whats savage

    If you will not wear your

    uniforms, why then will you

    waste your time in school?

    The Significance

    of FoundationDayBy: Rosemarie Bayron

    Big things come from

    small ones, achieving dreams

    start in anticipation and

    preconception or even success

    begins with a plan. It signifies

    that life is but a stage, fromprimary level up to its peak. You

    cant skip and leap some steps

    then directly grasp the torch of

    prosperity.

    Foundation maybe defined

    as the way things were created

    But what is foundation after all?

    What is its significance in our

    lives? Those are questions which

    triggered my being and I recalled

    that we were made by God, no

    doubt for it.

    The significance of

    foundation is to commemorate

    how we were molded from dust

    and blown a wind of life.

    In relation to HCCB, it

    was founded to answer the

    demand for special education in

    CARAGA Region. The founders

    who were seasoned educators

    shared their expertise to create

    school in solid ground. Last Jan

    29-30, HCCB student, faculty

    and administration celebrated its

    12 years of existence and HCCB

    still continuously giving golden

    opportunities to the deserving

    but undeserved sector in the

    society to spend in school.

    The College of

    graduating students attended the

    4th CRIMINOLOGY STUDENTS

    CONGRESS held at Balanghai

    Hotel and Convention Center,

    Doongan, Butuan City last

    February 5-6, 2010 with the

    theme Emerging Trends in

    Criminal Justice Education.It was headed by the

    Council of Criminology Deans of

    Caraga (CCDC) in cooperation

    with the Commission of Higher

    Education.

    The thirteen school

    participants were: Siargao

    Island Institute of Technology

    (SIIT); Saint Jude Thaddeus

    Institute of technology (SJIIT);

    Saint Paul University of Surigao(SPUS); Northern Mindanao

    Colleges (NEMCO);SouthernTechnological Institute of the

    Among the thirteen

    participating schools in Caraga

    Region, only HCCB has the

    lowest population of graduating

    students. There are only 14 but it

    was a great surprise to the other

    schools because of the excellent

    performance theyve done

    during competitions, lectures,

    and open fora.They won the 1st place in

    dance and 3rd placer in ball

    games competition. They also led

    the doxology and awarded as the

    best performing school in

    Caraga. However, they wont be

    able to do that without the

    efforts and support of their

    instructors, Mr. Rico T. Musong.

    LCO NightBy: Joinie Verdeflor

    Wow! What a night!These were the few words

    which came out of my mind

    when I saw the result of our

    united efforts in realizing the

    long-dreamt LCO Night of

    Holy Child Colleges of Butuan

    especially those who are engaged

    in different organizations, be it

    brotherhood/sisterhood, religious

    and others.

    We never doubt it to failwhen we started planning and

    organizing the program which

    was in connection with the

    celebration of the extramurals.

    S.Y 2010-2011

    Because it will be the first time

    that the institution will hold an

    LCO Night within its 12 years of

    existence.

    Instead of electing

    individuals in the committee, I

    suggested to elect the whole

    group, which means each

    organization presidents wilautomatically become the head

    to assure cooperation among

    members. There were eight (8)

    committees formed having a

    corresponding organization

    assignments. In the finance

    committee was the Knight and

    Ulfans was assigned, food

    committee was on Fox Theta

    Delta, program committee was

    on CLFC, ways and means onAlpha Xi Epsilon, house keeping

    on Alpha Kappa Rho, peace and

    order on Tau Gamma Phi, and

    two (2) other committees headed

    by Alpha Mu Phi and WOSSP

    Altogether we built our booth

    within the vicinity of Golden

    Cottage, which was the officia

    venue of our activities for

    extramurals and especially the

    LCO Night, despite of the factthat we belong to differen

    organizations.

    Truly, we can be

    successful in any endeavor we

    might be having only if we stand

    united which seconds our first

    and ever LCO theme Change

    Starts in Me: Breaking the

    Chain of Differences.

    Indeed, LCO means unity

    To let go ishard, to forgetis not easyBy: Allyn Mae Ferrer

    The hardest thing to do is

    to pretend that youve moved onbut you know you cant do. Its

    hard to let go of someone who

    made you feel the true meaning

    of love. Sometimes you wish to

    be with him but some part of you

    says, dont fool yourself or else

    youll be hurt again.

    Its not easy to think

    about him when also the

    memories stay in your mind.

    Youre almost over him butsuddenly he still visits you in

    your dreams. Your love song

    brings you back to the moment

    where you meet and where you

    spent time together. Youre

    always longing to hold him, see

    his face, make him feel he is

    special and tell him how much

    you love him.

    Day becomes longer.

    Night becomes lonelier just like

    your waiting for someone who

    will not come back again.

    Sometimes, you question

    yourself; does he also thin about

    you? Your hearts seems to be

    unbeaten because it needs

    someone to make it alive. Youre

    trying to open your heart to

    someone new, but still it needs

    him. You really want to let go of

    his memories but the more you

    try, the more you remember.

    How does someone heal a broken

    heart? I wish it would be easy to

    forget the pain but sad to say, its

    uneasy.

    All about PowerBy: Jenaflor Ompod

    This has nothing to do

    with leftist politics, but how you

    respond and relate to color red.

    As one of the primarycolors, red is connected to the

    first chakra. According to

    Ayurveda, the traditional

    medicinal system of India, the

    human being is not only a

    physical body but an energy field

    as well. Chakras are energy

    centers in

    charge of the

    bodys

    varioussystems and

    organs. The

    energies of

    its chakra

    affect us

    physically,

    emotionally,

    and mentally.

    When looking at the

    qualities of red as the color of the

    first chakra, it helps to note thatas the first chakra, its energy is

    fundamental being located at the

    base of the spine. This means

    that red is al about power,

    identity, vitality, strength,

    passion, stability and security.

    This means walking your talk.

    Draw upon your divine source as

    your strength and the base of

    your being. When your red

    energy is balanced, you are ableto communicate well especially

    anything that bothers your self

    senses. You know youre spirit,

    and not just a body, and you use

    your physicality well to express

    this spiritual truth to others.

    S.Y 2010-2011

    At all times, you know

    you are energized by a higher

    force, whenever you are tired;

    you have not been acting as

    guided by the spirit.

    Why teach?By:

    Rosemarie

    Bayron

    A

    great dea

    has been

    said that

    teaching is

    one of the most important

    professions from the standpoint of

    human welfare. Properly

    understood, however, it is also one

    of the most technical, difficult and

    challenging professions.

    Aside from the fact tha

    teachers are exalted individuals, I

    still couldnt fathom then why I

    have chosen this profession knowing

    that it is not a lucrative job and

    perhaps underrated. I am still not

    dissuaded from becoming a teacher

    in spite of its perplexing state. My

    rational though a bit hard to

    articulate, are nevertheless

    intrinsically and extrinsically

    affirmed.

    To start with, my foremost

    reason for choosing this profession

    is to have a decent job. Decent in a

    The Importance ofCorrect GrammarBy: Jenaflor Ompod

    The year of English isdesigned to instill a new

    excitement for learning English

    in the Philippines. It will cover

    the simple things that

    HCCBians need to practice, in

    order to improve their English

    skills. English is the key to the

    future.

    Id like to take a break

    from grammar and talk to you

    about vocabulary. I mean notonly the words of English, but

    also the phrases and idioms

    that an English speaker

    commonly used. We learn the

    words and phrases of our own

    language by exposure. We hear

    other people use them in the

    same manner.

    Words are funny things.

    They can sometimes take on a

    whole new meaning, just theway they are used. The word

    Google (the name of the

    famous website) has become a

    verb google it, which has

    come to mean look it up on

    the internet .

    English in the Philippines

    is evolving too, with words and

    phrases sometimes taking on

    new meanings. Keep this in

    mind though, if your goal is tocommunicate with a native

    English speaker, he/she may

    not understand some of the

    English expressions commonly

    used by Filipinos.

    In the interest of effective

    communication, you may adapt

    to native-English style, rather

    than expecting the native-

    English speaker to adapt toyours.

    Idiomatic expressions or

    idioms can be a bit tricky too.

    Idioms are expressions that are

    not supposed to be taken

    literally. Dont look for logic

    with these phrases. Just take

    them as they come, but use

    them exactly as they come.

    Idioms cant be adjusted or

    modified. Heres an examplethat I have heard misused:

    bosom buddies, is an idiom

    that means best friends. But

    you cannot say bosom

    friends, as I recently heard on

    a local television show. Idioms

    cant be recorded.

    One thing remains like a

    sore sticking finger. Thats

    what I call twisting an idiom as

    far as it can twist. Im really nottrying to be funny but I just

    want you all to understand the

    importance of correct

    vocabulary. The best source for

    correct English vocabulary is to

    read or hear English spoken by

    native speakers. Television and

    movies are good place to start

    but remember, just because you

    hear it on the television, that

    doesnt necessarily make it right.Always consider your source.

    Trials and frustrationmake me strongBy: Edwin Samoranos

    I believe that God is an

    absolute value. A supreme being

    and a great comforter for all His

    creations. He is the reason why

    we hold on and hope that he led

    us to the right way. Ive proven it

    because during my darkest hour

    I felt that God was with me and

    my family.

    It was Monday evening on

    the month of October 13, 1997

    My sister and I were having our

    meal while my father lay on the

    sofa and took rest because o

    tiredness from working at the

    farm. A man knocked at our

    door. We didnt mind it because

    that man was my cousin. We

    thought that it was just a simple

    conversation between my father

    and my cousin when suddenly he

    killed my father. He stabbed my

    father on the right and left chest

    using ice pick and that was the

    reason of my fathers death.

    We where shocked and

    was not able to shout for help

    because of fright. Before the man

    escaped, I saw my father trying

    to fight for his life. He was

    wounded and vomited blood

    Despite my fathers aim to fight

    back, still the man escaped. My

    mother came and shouted for

    help and our neighbor came tohelp us bring my father to the

    nearest hospital. That time, I felt

    a feeling of animosity. As i

    somebody is dictating me to kill

    THE HCCB HERALD Vol. 2

    From page 8 on Trails and

    frustrations..

    the murderer as a

    payback to what he has done to

    my father.

    I was just 10 years old

    when that happened. At thatstage there were lots of trials in

    my life and my family. I even

    wanted to give up but as I saw

    my mother striving hard for the

    sake of our family, I had the

    courage to get up and face new

    days with hope within me. I

    became a working student at a

    very young age. I should have

    stopped from schooling but my

    sisters, brothers, and my motherinspired me to move on and

    continue achieving my goal and

    that is to be the new father of my

    family who will not just support

    their needs but to defend them

    from crime.

    Years past and I never

    hesitated to pursue my dreams.

    When I graduated high school, I

    applied as a scholar by the help

    of Mr. Genry Campus, an SBmember who helped me to have

    be an IFM/DRPE scholar. I

    enrolled criminology and after 2

    years, I personally approached

    Dr. Rudolfo P. Esteves to have

    me as one of his WOSPP

    scholars. Thank God and he

    chose me as one of WOSPP

    members. Now, Im on my 4rth

    year and Im on my way to the

    fulfillment of my goals. Imabout to support my family.

    I am holding on to Gods

    words, thats why until now, I

    remain to be strong and faithful

    to God. I believe that God has a

    plan for me and I can say that

    trials and frustrations made me

    strong because God is with me

    and my family. According to the

    book of Jeremiah 29:11 For I

    know the plans I have for you,

    plans to prosper you and not toharm you. It is a plan to give you

    hope and future.

    Vanity, O Vanity..By: acmedroso

    I have read a book of

    Allan Cardic the great spritist

    ever known in entire Europe in

    the middle of the century. This

    guy, of German descent strongly

    advocates that man evolves out

    of reincarnation.

    What differs him greatly

    with thats Darwins theory is

    that man did not evolve from ape

    or cockroach

    or what ever

    to become

    what is

    known now

    as homo

    sapiens, a

    walking tall,

    intelligent

    man with

    refined

    manners and resolute

    dispositions. Most importantly,

    Darwins theory failed to connect

    that missing link which

    remained missing until now.That point of connection between

    a pure animal to become a

    complete man remained

    unanswered until the present

    times. Well, equally interesting

    also, is the fact that Darwin came

    S.Y 2010-2011

    to embrace the Theory of

    Creation before his death which

    he did not in the prime years of

    his life.

    Well, back to Mr. Cardic

    he claimed that man as beingoriginated form man himself

    whose origin of life is breathed

    by the Sunum Bunum, or the

    combination of the infinite truth

    and the infinite good of infinitebeauty which is otherwise known as

    God.

    These breathe of life we

    mentioned above is what we call

    the spirit. And

    this spirit wilevolve into

    varying degrees

    of

    transformation

    or advancement

    When the flesh

    dies, a spirit will depart ones

    matter or decaying physical body

    and by the permission of that

    Sunum Bunum, such departed

    spirit will come back and enteragain into another fresh human

    body until he becomes a

    refined spirit ready to go back

    into HIS Glory. Interesting, isnt

    it?

    Mr. Cardic also claims

    that we are part and parcel of

    HIM as the MAKER. And no

    less than the moon and the stars

    we are that equally important as

    part of him that created us, andby then it is rightful to claim that

    we are brothers and sisters with

    reference to that Sunum Bunum

    that made us, and whose SON

    came down to redeem us from

    sins and whose name is JESUS

    the CHRIST or EMMANUEL.

  • 8/9/2019 MELJUN CORTES HCCB School Publication (2009-2010)

    10/15

    THE HCCB HERALD Vol. 2

    Isnt it related to the

    Books of Genesis, John,

    Matthew, Mark and the Book of

    Revelation?

    Spirits, Cardic claimed,

    are classified into differentdegrees thru colors. It could

    either be white spirit, yellow,

    blue or violet. I cannot exactly

    recall which one is the lowest

    degree to the highest in its order,

    (except that the highest spirit in

    the order is

    the one that

    has pure

    humanitarian concern and the

    genuine care for his fellowmen

    like our maker.), but what is

    significant is that, from a

    beginner color for example, blue,

    you can either advance or

    remain in you stage of color ordegree and you wont move in,

    even if you are already in your

    next life or (reincarnated life), if

    you choose not to improve or

    even degenerate. That means, if

    in that life you do not follow His

    commandments. That is why

    there are people that are

    deviants in the society. They

    are moved by spirits which are

    unreformed and rebellious

    or either naughty.

    It is their choice that they

    remained what they are. People

    who died without reforming

    themselves will be given the

    chance to change their new lives

    but such chance is already

    nearing to and end.

    What intrigues me more

    is that, part of his theory said,

    that when the spirit reenters into

    a flesh once again, the new

    human body is given the freedomto do an act according to his own

    free well, we called choice. But

    in the deepest realm of his

    existence is the knowledge in the

    past, serving as an experience of

    his life, way back a very long

    ago. The life of this spirit living

    in him we called it subconscious.

    And this is manifested though

    gut feelings, sometimes in

    dreams, and our ability toconnect things of the past

    which we have not experienced

    in the present life and the

    ability to make decisions.

    Next question is: When

    this spirits are already purified,

    where will they go? Spirits

    Cardic said, they will go back to

    their maker for HIS own

    GLORY and they will become

    the forces and the light thatmaintains

    the Universe,

    where

    everyone

    longs to see

    and emulate.

    They are the

    stars, the

    moon and

    strength that

    keep the Universe intact. Theyare also those that maintain the

    beauty, the wonder, the

    attraction and the cause why we

    praise the infinite beauty of our

    MAKER called GOD.

    (Intriguing, isnt it?)

    S.Y 2010-2011

    I do not enjoin you to

    believe him folks, but I am some

    kind of intrigued, especially so

    when his pronouncement

    centers the claim of the

    existence of God which is the

    origin of all things and hisclaim that by the help of the

    workers in the heaven called

    the Holy Spirit, All things in

    the Bible will reconcile with

    Science in HIS time. (Things

    we commonly read in the Book

    of Revelation).

    Well

    whatever we

    believe in,

    whethersupported by

    reasoned

    supposition, or

    pure

    imagination,

    these are not outlawed but even

    encourage in a democratic

    country like ours. After all, not

    everything is revealed by

    Heaven. We need to listen to the

    opinion of others as much as theyneed to listen to us. Democratic

    society thrives best in the free

    exchange of ideas. Like a stee

    which is honed by the fire o

    purified argument. Walter

    Lippman on his book Hit the

    Podium says: the freedom o

    opinion consists primarily in

    perfecting the opportunity for

    the adequate give-and-take

    opinion.A closed mind will always

    be inferior because it is afraid of

    allowing the light of reason to

    come through. You see, citizens

    in Democratic society prefer

    debate or free exchange of ideas

    over killing each other.
