ANHS finds new ambassadors

Adrian T. Asañon and

Alimar B. Palapar of 2-B also

called the BeGreeners were hailed

as Champion in the Search for

ANHS Ambassadors held last Oc-

tober 24, 2012 at the Br. Rafael S.

Donato Center for Performing

Arts (BDC).

The contest was launched

by the ANHS Principal, Mr. Rheal

D. Dayrit, believing that more

than the entertainment, it aims to

help students overcome their

fright and develop their confi-

dence. Other winners include Jo-

sun Nava of 5-B (First runner-up)

and Ma. Rodel Sunshine V. San-

tillan of 4-B (Second runner-up).

The search underwent

different stages since September

2012 from elimination, semi-

finals, and final round. There were

10 contestants left who competed

during the Grand Finals. Some

performances include singing,

dancing, song interpretation, and

yoyo tricks that captured the tal-

ents of ANHS students.

Anthony dela Paz of 5-A gave the

program twist and excitement as

emcees after the contest. The

ANHS Chorale had a concert

showcasing the powerful voices of

its members. It was made possible

under the supervision of Mr. Rey

B. Ducay, the Chorale Moderator.

“We are passionate, and

we care about people.” These

were the words of Br. Jose Mari

L. Jimenez FSC, DLSP President

during the launching of Lasallian

Cares, a school-wide reflection

process held last October 10, 2012

at LSGH St. Benilde Gym.

De La Salle Philippines

mandated that all Lasallian

schools in the Philippines undergo

the said reflection process from

Sys 2012-2014 in order to identify

the level of Lasallianness of the

institution by using the Lasallian

Core Values. The program’s re-

flection process will continue until

2014 and will focus on identifying

the strengths, challenges and the

school’s compliance with resolu-

tion and capacity building meas-

ures of the Philippine Lasallian

Family Convocation. These proc-

esses hope to further strengthen

the institutional Lasallian charac-

ter and the fulfillment of the Phil-

ippine Lasallian Family Convoca-

tion resolutions which are hoped

to be endorsed during the 2015

Convocation.

The institutional ceremo-

nies included the participation of

Brother Felipe C. Belleza, Jr. FSC

who gave an inspirational mes-

sage. He said that LS Cares is our

attempt in the Philippines to cele-

brate our being Lasallian commu-

nity with the other 16 campuses in

the country. Br. Jimenez FSC told

the background of LS Cares. He

reminded the Lasallians to pass on

the legacy of other Lasallians who

have come before us. The chal-

lenge is to make every person im-

portant and valued.

Members of the ANHS

Dance Club and Deaf Learners

demonstrated their talents and

brought pride to the ANHS com-

munity through a dance interpre-

tation of “We’ve Won” with se-

lected high school students.

vices NC II and Commercial

Cooking NC II students finished

the 2Go Travel Shipboard Train-

ing via St. Michael the Archangel

vessel, Manila-Cebu-Manila voy-

age and a seminar on Basic Hotel

Operations held at Crown Re-

gency Residences, Cebu City last

October 6-10, 2012.

To ensure the safety of

students while working, they took

vessel familiarization, front office

operations, food and beverage ser-

vices, housekeeping services, and

basic safety on the ship. These

events and activities students en-

countered helped them to experi-

ence what they have learned in

school and to enhance their skills.

Students woke up at 4 am

to prepare what they needed at

work. Their work started at 5 am.

Participants were also advised that

once they are in the boat, they

have to be ready all the time. They

also had the chance to experience

being a real crew.

Jessary De Rosas of Food

and Beverage (Monday) said that

“It was an unforgettable experi-

ence.”

Mr. Roy S. Daz, the

TVET Coordinator, Mrs. Mer-

cedes M. Andrade, and Mrs. Mi-

lagros Reyes organized and super-

vised the unique real-life learning

experience for the participants.

Every person counts. Every decision

matters. Every contribution is valued.

CAMPUS

By Jacqueline B. Jacinto and Jenney Mae G. Bautista, 5-A

This year’s activities for

English Week include Get the

Picture Activity (Storytelling

Contest) where students arrange

pictures and create a story, Slam

and Jam where students compose

a poem based on the theme and

present it in a creative way

through singing and dancing,

Caught Speaking in English,

Spelling Bee, and Role Play on

the importance of English in the

Workplace. Winners of Slam and

Jam include 4-B (Champion), 5-A

(First runner-up), 5-B (Second

runner-up), and 4-A (Third runner

-up). Caught Speaking in English

winners were Jordon Angelo G.

Estrada of 5-A, Gerson D. Fran-

cisco of 4-A, Adrian T. Asañon of

2-B.

Different activities were

conducted through the efforts

made by the members of Punlad,

Ripples, Uhay and the Guidance

and English Departments.

“Realizing Our Mission

of Being Service Oriented

through Career Awareness and

English Proficiency” was the

theme of this year’s English

Week and Career Guidance Week

held last September 21, 24-28,

2012. This year’s focus was to

help increase students’ awareness

on the importance of English lan-

guage in the workplace.

A Seminar on Resume

Writing and Preparing for a Job

Interview was given to 5th year

students. Career Planning and

Decision Making Seminar was

given to 1st and 2nd year students.

Career Talk was given to 4th, 5th,

and TVET students where repre-

sentatives from Department of

Labor and Employment (DOLE)

introduced thousands of work that

they offer to the Filipino people.

The seminar was a reminder for

students to persist when looking

for a job.

Academic weeks intensify

English in the workplace

Science Quest, Math Circle and Computer Club members and

their moderators spearheaded the AghaMath.Com last November 12-16,

2012 which aimed at bringing out the best in ANHS students through

launching novel and interesting contests.

Activities include Robotics Tribot contest wherein the contest-

ants were tasked to build a robot and program it to follow directions in a

given time. Winners were Adrian T. Asañon, 2B and Ezequiel B. Visa-

gar, 4B (First Place), John Edward Sancho of 3B, Franklin Scott Martin

of 5B, and Ramon Bautista of 2A (Second Place), Mark Joseph Tacu-

bansa of 2B, Allen Vincent P. Amante of 5A and Christine M. Acuña of

3A (Third Place). Another unique contest was the Black Light Competi-

tion where students displayed their creative imagination in making dif-

ferent formations by using their hands. Fourth and fifth year students

were chosen in the competition. 4-A students stood out among the rest as

they won first and second place. Science activities and experiments were

held at the Science Laboratory. The week culminated with the Alterna-

tive Class Program (ACP) on Climate Change for fourth year students

given by Mr. Marlon Castillo, High School Social Concerns Moderator.

AghaMath.Com was full of innovative activities for the students

to participate and exhibit their talents.

AghaMath.Com showcases

students’ potentials


though the government wanted to

establish a law regarding the

population control, the Catholic

Church is not in favor of any ac-

tions like the Reproductive Health

Bill. In modern life, many teenag-

ers become pregnant because of

lack of education and impulsive

decisions. Many of them suffer

from poverty and are born less

fortunate. They are not aware of

the consequences of the actions

they would take.

The topic was really help-

ful. Though participants were al-

ready adults and they already

know what they are doing, re-

minding them is still a good thing

for them to be conscious of the

steps they make in life.

Human Sexuality Semi-

nar for first to third year students

was held last November 16, 2012

spearheaded by Mr. Ronaldo M.

Belen, the Guidance Counselor,

as the speaker.

The seminar aims to raise

awareness of students on human

sexuality as they make crucial

decisions in their lives as adults.

Mr. Belen discussed the

stages of having an intimate rela-

tionship, differentiating sexuality

of the male and female, and the

definition and elements of sexual-

ity. He also tackled that love is

not equal to sex.

try has one of the biggest popula-

theme of this year’s celebration of

the 9th ANHS Deaf Week spear-

headed by the Deaf Buddy Club

and Program for Deaf Learners

held last November 7-13, 2012 .

The weeklong celebration

was an opportunity for the Deaf

“Success is not a destination, it is a journey.” We hope

this is in the mind of our fellow schoolmates. We noticed that

the drop - out rate this year is quite high. This has been a big

concern of ANHS. Some of the main reasons why ANHS stu-

dents drop are poverty, family problems, attitude, and health

related problems. We cannot blame those students who are fac-

ing these kinds of trials. That is why the Lasallian Community

is there to help those who want to continue their dreams. Un-

fortunately, we have no control of their decisions. We just hope

that everything they chose is for the best. We believe that

ANHS has enough programs to attend to the students’ needs.

Examples of these programs are the “One Heart One

Purpose” spearheaded by the Student Council and the numer-

ous scholarships given by the school to help needy students in

their transportation allowance. Yet, they still chose to drop and

give up on their studies. Almost all ANHS students have class-

mates that dropped. It is just a sad thing to see a student hold-

ing a yellow form and see them approach their teachers to sign

it. All we can do is see them walk away and hope nothing but

the best in their journey. The school has done its part, but what

about our part? Maybe, just maybe we can make a difference in

their lives. Sometimes, money is not always the solution in

every problem. Sometimes, open ears and a wise advice are all

we need to solve a problem.

Let us encourage our fellow students to never give up

on their studies permanently. Instead, we should inspire them

to try harder for them to realize that they are lucky to have been

given an opportunity to study in a La Salle school. Hopefully,

we can carry out the mission of St. La Salle on helping others

in achieving their dreams.

Saan nga ba nagsisimula ang plagiarism? Ang plagiarism ay

isang uri ng pagnanakaw o pagkuha ng mga ideya ng iba at angkinin

ang mga ito. Naging kontrobersyal ang isa nating senador na si Tito

Sotto dahil sa hindi pagsasabi kung saan nagmula ang mga sinabi

nito. Dito lumabas ang maraming katanungan at nagbigay ng mas

malawak na kaalaman sa publiko tungkol sa panganib ng plagiarism.

Nagpapatunay lamang ito na hindi lang estudyante at ordinaryong

tao ang gumagawa ng pangongopya. Ito ay maling pamamaraan at

hindi kailanman matututo ang gagawa nito dahil sa wala silang

kakayahang gumawa ng sarili nilang pananaw sa buhay.

Bilang estudyante tayo minsan ay nakakagawa din ng mga

bagay na kagaya nito. Dahil sa paggamit ng internet mabilis nating

nahahanap ang mga takda at mga proyekto na pinapagawa sa atin ng

ating guro. Ngunit dumarami na yata ang nagkakaroon ng sakit na

pangongopya. Isa na din ako na gumawa noong kailangan na ipasa

ang proyekto. Inisip ko paano kaya kung hindi ko na lang pinasa?

Paano kaya kung ang bibigay ng aking guro ay mababang marka

lang din? Ngunit maapektuhan naman ang aking grado kung hindi

ko ipapasa ang nagawa kong proyekto. Naisip ko na sana ay ginawa

ko na lang ito nang maayos.

Sa mga pangyayaring ito, sana tayo ay natuto. Minsan sa re-

alidad ng buhay, tayo nakakagawa ng kasalanang hindi natin inaasa-

han. Ngunit paano ba natin gagawing tama at maayos ang ating mga

hakbangin upang matutong maging tayo at gumawa ng sariling de-

sisyon na makakatulong sa nakakarami at lalo na sa ating sarili?

Matuto nawa tayong mag-isip at gumawa ng paraan at

makaramdaman ng galak dahil tayo ay nakagawa at nakapagpahayag

ng ating sariling ideya sa pagsusulat. Hindi daw ito sa pagalingan ng

nilalaman pero dapat isipin natin lagi na ito ay galing sa ating gi-

nawa at isinapuso natin upang makabuo ng sarili nating ideya.

Hindi maganda kapag nasanay na tayong mangopya ng gawa ng

ibang tao. Para na lang din tayong walang tiwala sa ating mga sarili

at sa ating mga kakayanan.

Saan nga ba nagsimula ang

pangongopya?

What’s the Point?


Halaga

Ni Reynan B. Del Rosario, 4-B Ni Maribel K. Ramirez, 4-B

Bakit kaya hindi pantay-pantay ang kon-

tribusyon ng pamahalaan para sa bayan? Bakit

ang mga mayayaman ay lalong yumayaman at

ang mga mahihirap ay lalong naghihirap?

May mga pangyayari ding minsan ay na-

raranasan ito sa loob ng tahanan. Si Ina paborito si Panganay at si Ama

paborito si Bunso. Hindi maiwasang magkaroon ng away, inggitan, at

alitan ang magkakapatid dahil sa ganitong sistema sa kanilang bahay. Ito

ay nagdudulot ng hindi magandang samahan sa loob ng tahanan. Sa tra-

baho mayroon ding nagkakaroon ng paligsahan at palakasan para ma-

kuha ang loob ng amo kahit na ito ay ikasasama ng loob ng kasama sa

trabaho. Sa paaralan hindi din maiwasan ang magkaroon ng paborito si

titser. Minsan mas binibigyang pansin ng guro ang kanyang paborito

kaysa sa ibang nitong estudyante. Mas mataas pa na grado ang binibigay

sa paborito nitong estudyante dahil siya ay masunurin sa guro kahit na

hindi naman siya masyadong aktibo sa loob ng paaralan .

Bakit nga ba ibat-iba ang mga pakikisalamuha natin sa kapwa

natin? Bakit mayroon tayong iba’t-ibang interpretasyon? Ano ba ang da-

pat? Kailangan ba mayroong nasa itaas at nasa ilalim? May mga taong

sadyang hindi nakakaintindi ng mga nararamdaman ng iba. Ano nga ba

ang dapat nating gawin, hayaan na lang ang ganitong pangyayari o hara-

pin natin at itama ang mali? Kailangan minsan maging mapagmatyag din

tayo sa kapakanan ng nakararami. Minsan hindi na natin binibigyan ng

panahon ang mga ganitong pangyayari sa ating buhay. Mas madami

tayong dapat na intindihin kaya sumasabay na lang sa agos ng buhay.

Ang iba naman kahit na naaapektuhan ay mas pinipili na lang

manahimik kaysa sa umapila ng kanilang karapatan.

Sa tingin ko hindi na natin maiiba ang mga ganitong sistema

kung nauunahan na tayo ng takot at hiya. Mas uunahin na lang na magpa-

kumbaba at hayaan na lang na panahon na ang magbago ng ganitong re-

alidad sa ating buhay.

Gunita sa bawat hibla ng ating kahapon,

ngayon, at bukas na pawang sumasagi sa ating

isipan minu-minuto, oras- oras, at araw-araw.

Ang hindi natin maiwasan ay ang masasayang

alaala na pilit na binubura dahil sa napalitan ito

ng mapait na pangyayari, pangyayaring hindi natin inaasam-asam.

Pinipilit nating iwasan at burahin sa ating isipan subalit ito ay hindi

madaling burahin sapagkat ang pangyayaring iyon ay nagdulot ng

sugat sa ating puso at isipan.

Ang tanong ay “Paano tayo babangon kung hindi natin tu-

tulungan ang ating mga sarili at ang dala-dala natin magpa-

hanggang ngayon ay ang mapait na kahapon? Paano natin hahara-

pin ang bukas kung ang mapait na kahapon ay hindi natin gawing

inspirasyon?”

Karamihan sa atin ay nalugmok dahil sa bangungot ng na-

karaan at tuluyan ng nagdulot ng pagkawasak ng kanilang kinabu-

kasan. Subalit mayroon pa ring mga tao na patuloy na lumalaban

para sa kanilang ikakatagumpay at para magkakaroon ng magan-

dang bukas.

Marami tayong pangarap sa buhay na mahirap abutin dahil

sa sari-saring pagsubok na kusang dumarating sa ating buhay. Ang

iba ay naghihintay ng suwerte. Aasa lang ba tayo sa suwerte na

dadaop sa ating mga palad o tayo mismo ang makipagsapalaran,

magdedesisyon, at gagawa ng hakbang para sa ating kapalaran?

Maari nating tularan ang mga taong nagtagumpay sa pag-abot ng

kanilang pangarap. Tayo nawa ay magkaroon ng positibong

pananaw sa buhay. Magsilbi nawang inspirasyon ang ating mga

kahapon na hinding-hindi natin malilimutan. Dasal sa Diyos at ti-

wala sa sarili ang gawin nating panangga sa bawat pagsubok na

ating haharapin sa ating buhay.

Noong bata ako, itinuro sa akin na ang

mundo ay umiikot sa aksis nito. Pero bakit iba

ang nakikita ko sa kapaligiran? Bakit iba ang

nakikita ko sa kasalukuyang panahon? Lumi-

pas ang mahabang dekada at ako ay nagising

sa katotohanan na ang mundo pala ay umiikot sa pera.

Ipinanganak tayong pantay-pantay sa mata ng Diyos pero bakit

may mahirap? Bakit may mayaman? Iniisip mo ba na pinagkaitan

ka ng tadhana dahil sa ikaw ay kapus-palad lamang? Sumasagi din

ba sa isipan mo na mas mabuti pang pumanaw ka na lang kaya

para matapos na ang paghihirap mo?

Dumilat ka. Lawakan mo ang iyong mga mata. Tignan mo

ang mga taong nakapaligid sa iyo. Nakikita mo ba ang pulubing

nasa daan? Tignan mo ang buhay niya. Pinipilit niyang kumain

upang manatili dito sa mundo.

Maraming paraan upang mabuhay at maraming dahilan

para mabuhay pa sa mundong ito. Lahat tayo ay may mahalagang

papel sa mundo. Minamaliit mo ba ang mga kasambahay? Isipin

mo kung wala sila magiging madali kaya sa mayayaman ang buhay

nila? Kung walang janitor, ano ang mangyayari sa pampublikong

lugar sa ating bansa? Kung walang guard, nakakasiguro kaya tayo

na ligtas ang ating paglalakbay sa araw-araw?

Ang mga ganitong bagay at taong kagaya nila ay hindi

natin napapansin ngunit sila ay may malaking ambag sa ating

lipunan. Lahat tayo ay may mahalagang tungkulin dito sa mundo

mayaman man o mahirap.

Hindi nasusukat ang kalagayan ng tao sa buhay upang sabi-

hing mayaman siya o mahirap. Pagdating ng araw lahat tayo ay

may sariling lupang titirahan at may sariling kabaong na hihigaan.

Lahat tayo ay hihiga sa lupa, mayaman man o mahirap.

We might have asked ourselves these ques-

tions many times, “What’s the point? Why are we

here? What is my purpose of living?” We tend to

ask these when we face trials in our lives. The an-

swers are hard to find but we cannot find these by

giving up.

Problems are like gifts; they come in different sizes. The

bigger the gift, the harder it is to unwrap. Just like problems, the

bigger the problem, the harder it is to solve. Yes, all of us do not

deserve these problems. But have you ever thought why God gave

us these trials? It is because He knows that we can overcome it.

Unfortunately, we give up because it is just too hard for us. That is

when we doubt ourselves of our purpose in life. Strong faith and a

positive attitude are important.

We all have to trust God that there is always a rainbow in

every horizon. Something good will eventually happen if we just

persist. Giving up is never an option. It never was and it never will

be. No good will come out of it; only failure and disappointment

to us. Some questions are hard to answer. But as long as we are on

the right path, everything will become clearer. As Ted Failon al-

ways says on the radio, “Trust, believe and surrender!” As long as

we are alive, we have a purpose. There is still a mission that needs

to be accomplished.

Life is never fair. While a child begs for money to buy

food, another child is spoiled and overwhelmed by their parents

with bountiful food. We undergo these challenges because we are

strong enough to withstand it. We have a purpose, and it is up to us

to find it out.

Ako ay Pinoy

Hindi Magpapatalo

Ni Eugene B. Sauquillo, 4-B

Unang Gantimpala—Lapat Pinoy (AP Week 2012)

Halika na't makiisa Bumangon ka't tayo'y lalarga

Tamlay mong kapuna-puna Iwaksi na't sa ki'y sumama.

Aawitin ko ang pantasya Tipahin mo ang pag-asa

Pare ko'y handa ka na ba? Pasakalye mo'y ibanat mo na.

CHORUS:

Ako ay Pinoy hindi magpapatalo kahit kanino

Kahit saan makarating

Yan ang Pinoy lahat ng pagsubok ay nalalampasan

Basta't magkakasama, nagtutulungan

Sumigaw (hey!)

(Repeat Chorus & ADLIB)

Ang daming tao, ang daming nagkalat na papel sa paligid, ang dami ding mga banderitas at tarpaulin na nakapaskil sa bawat pader na aking nadaraanan na may nakasulat na “Vote for…”

Ano kayang meron? Hindi naman fiesta sa amin dahil katatapos lang ng fiesta. Ay! Ang daming pagkain sa oras na iyon! Lalo namang hindi pa pasko dahil malayo pa ang Disyembre. An-tagal! Gusto ko nang mamasko kina ninong at ninang. Gayunpaman, ano kayang meron?

“Rod! Rod! Laro tayo!” Teka tinatawag na ako ng mga kalaro ko. Mamumulot pa kasi kami ng mga papel na gagawin naming bangka na paanurin namin sa ilog. Ito, may napulot na akong isa, may nakasulat, “Vote for Zandro dela Cruz: Pabahay, trabaho, pag-aaral, sagot niya.” Ano ang ibig niyang sabihin? Siya ba ang bahala sa pagpapagawa ng aming bahay? Tamang-tama, may butas ang aming bubong. Siya na rin ang magbibigay ng trabaho kay tatay at magpapaaral sa aming magkaka-patid. Ang galling naman! Ipapakita ko ito kay nanay. Siguradong matutuwa siya.

Ano ba ito? Tumama pa ang mukha ko sa tarpaulin na ito. Teka, “Vote for Linda Cuntapay for Mayor: Maaaring takbuhan ng inyong mga problema. Lahat ng inyong problema ay masosolusyunan.” Uy, pwede pala siyang takbuhan ni nanay kapag kailangan niyang mangutang. Hindi na namin kailangan mangutang sa 5-6.

Kinagabihan, ipinakita ko kay nanay ang mga papel na aking napulot na may nakasulat na “Vote for.” Sabi ko kay nanay, na si Zandro dela Cruz na ang sasagot sa aming pag-aaral. Siya na rin ang magpapagawa ng aming bahay at magbibigay ng trabaho kay tatay. Natawa ang nanay ko. Bakit kaya? Anong nakakatawa sa mga sinasabi ko? Ang sabi niya, “Anak, talagang napakabata mo pa. Hindi mo alam ang kahulugan ng botohan.” “Botohan? Ano pong botohan?” tanong ko naman.

“Anak, ang botohan ay isang pangyayari na ang mga tao ay may layang mamili ng nararapat na mamuno sa kanilang bayan. Kung sino ang may pinakamaraming boto ay siyang susunod sa da-ting nakapwesto. Kaya iyang si Zandro dela Cruz, hindi pa niya nagagawa ang mga pinangako niya dahil hindi pa siya nananalo. Kapag nasa hustong gulang ka na, mauunawaan mo rin ang lahat,” pali-wanag ni nanay.

Medyo di ko pa rin maunawaan, pero sabi nga ni nanay kapag nasa hustong gulang na ako tsaka ko pa lang mauunawaan ang mga katagang “Vote for me” na lagi nilang sinasabi.

Hay, handa na ang hapunan. Kakain na kami!

Ni Roda Mae Bondesto, TVET-Commercial Cooking

Vote for Me...?

Maging matagumpay sa buhay at maiangat ang estado ng pamilya ang hangarin nating lahat kung bakit tayo nag-aaral, nagtityaga, at nagkukumahog na makapagtapos. Iba’t-ibang lugar ang ating pinanggalingan. Iba’t-ibang katayuan, pananaw, ugali at personalidad ngunit lahat ay nagkatagpo sa iisang lugar. Ang La sale Green Hills – Adult Night High School. Pangalawang tahanan, ganyan kung paano ihambing ang paaralan. Mas gusto ko pa nga dito kaysa sa bahay, iyan ang parati kong naiisip. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero mas masaya ako sa loob ng paaralan kahit masakit sa ulo ang Geometry; nakakatuliro ang mga terminolohiyang ginagamit sa Science; nakakau-bos ng ingles ang English, atbp. Hindi ko rin alam kung paano ako nakatagal nang mahigit pitong taon sa bahay nang walang ginagawa. Mahaba ang limang taon. Una ko itong naisip noong pumasok ako dito. Saan ako kukuha ng panggastos kung sa pagkain pa lang kulang na ang kinikita ng aking ina. Wala kaming nakukuhang suporta sa aming ama matapos siyang hiwalayan ng aking ina noong tatlong taong gulang pa lamang ako. Kaya ko siya tinawag na Gabriela Silang, isang palabang Pinay. Saang kamay ng Diyos ko kukunin ang panggastos? Mahirap kung sa mahirap ang mag-aral. May mga pagkakataong hindi ko inaasahang mangyayari sa akin. Gaya ng panahong walang-wala talaga kaming pera. Lumapit ako sa ama ko, kahit na mahirap para sa akin. “Wala akong pera. Pampasahod ko ito sa mga tao ko,” iyan ang pasigaw niyang bungad sa akin. HIndi ko alam kung maiiyak ako dahil sa kabila ng lahat ay wala pa rin siyang pakialam sa amin o dahil sa hindi ako makakapasok noong araw na iyon. Hindi nga ako nakapasok. May pagkakataong kinailangan kong bumaba ng jeep sa Rosario, Pasig mula sa Taytay dahil hanggang doon lang ang inabot ng pamasahe ko. Nilakad ko na lamang hanggang La Salle, malapit na rin iyon kaysa mula sa Taytay. Hindi naman lahat ay masasakit na eksenang parang pangtelenobela ang nararanasan ko bilang estudyante. Dito papasok ang hindi ko kailanman ma-lilimutang overpass. Dito kasi nabuo ang maraming samahan na dumaan sa maraming hindi pagkakaintindihan. Samahang binuo ng hagikgikan at tawanang hindi matatawaran. Sa bawat pag-akyat namin sa matayog niyang baitang ay para kaming umaakyat nang dahan-dahan sa hagdan ng tagumpay. Sa kanya kami tumatakbo sa tuwing may kailangan kaming iensayo. Paulit-ulit man niyang naririnig ang bilang na 1, 2, 3, ay wala siyang reklamo. Sa kanya kami tumatambay upang magpayabangan kung kaninong proyekto ang mas maganda. Marahil ay kung makakapagreklamo siya ay para na siyang sirang plakang pauli-ulit na nagagalit sa bawat mali namin. Parang isang guro na handang maging takbuhan sa panahon ng pangangailangan. Gurong ibibigay ang lahat upang matuto ang kanyang estudyante kahit na masaktan at mahirapan. Mga gurong nagtutulak sa amin upang magpatuloy. Pagtitiwala, pananalig, at paghingi ng tulong sa Diyos ang tanging sandata na pinanghahawakan. Maging matagumpay sa buhay at maiangat ang estado ng pamilya ang hangarin natin. Huwag sana natin malimutang sa bawat tagumpay ay may mga kaibigan tayong tumulong, nagtiwala, kasamang nagtiyaga at nangarap. Sama-sama tayong umakyat sa hagdan ng tagumpay. Malapit na! Papaiwan ka ba?

Malapit na! Papaiwan Ka ba?

Wanna be Like You By Leoncio G. Brezuela, 5-B

From the moment I came and met you The darkness in me began to glow

The little I knew slowly grow My thirst for knowledge is quenched by you.

Wanna be like you, wanna be like you Your ample knowledge amazes me so

I admire the kind of patience you show For helping others you inspire me more.

You give me chance to improve myself

Encourage me to do my best You push me to my limits

Mold my mind and uplift my spirit

You really are one of a kind, In building nation your service is prime

Your chosen field is among the best, Caught my attention and bids to my interests.

Wanna be like you, wanna be like you

The one profession of the brave and bold

Keep the Light in the Fire By Ma. Rodel Sunshine V. Santillan, 4-B (Winning Piece—Slam and Jam 2012)

We woke up, we dressed up

And did our best in a job

Graveyard shift will let you stay

Up all night, sitting there

Handling calls

Pleasing them all.

CHORUS:

We shout and we fight for his name

Fly high and aim for the sky

Let the values he taught

With a burning desire

Let’s keep the light in the fire.

We lined up, we spoke out

And share the spirit in a class

Teachers will always let you stay

Recite the line, listen fair

Hang in there,

Don’t you dare fall.

(Repeat Chorus)

What Love Does By Jacqueline B. Jacinto, 5-A

Love makes you smile, Makes you laugh,

And makes you cry What is love if you will give up?

In a relationship, lovers sacrifice.

If you let go the negative minds, Happiness all we can wish.

How can you feel this if your heart is full of ha-tred

focus in your heart’s desire to truly love and be loved

I just wanted to die if you are lost in my life

You stole my heart and I’m always at your side Now you left, I hope you will not regret

the decision you've made.

Remember the first dance we had and the glimpse at bright stars

May you see your smile in your journey in life I’m sorry is all I can say to the wounds I made

Now I realized the importance of you in my life Just remember if you'll be okay

allow me to say sorry.

Serengeti (Short Story) By Jordon Angelo G. Estrada, 5-A

In a dry humid part of Kenya lies a village that believed a second child in the family will bring a terrible omen to the village. A couple bore their second child. Not having the courage to kill their own son, the couple left the boy under an old Baobab tree in the wild. His mother's last words were "I'm sorry Serengeti." After that day a lioness was prowling around the lush dry bushes of the sa-vanna. There she stumbled upon Serengeti, a tiny human so fragile and vulnerable. The hunter and savage in her eyes was absent that day. Just like the mother of Serengeti, she lost a child. In her eyes, the soul of a mother reflected. She felt curious and maternal attachment to the boy, for her cubs had recently been killed by an invading lion. She brought Serengeti to the pride. The other lion-ess ridiculed her. She thought her husband will have roared to the sight of the human kid. Instead the lion accepted the kid for he knew the pain of his wife for the lost of their cubs. Years have passed. Serengeti, together with the animals in the wild, grew with a heart of lion and wisdom of an owl in a star filled night. He runs swiftly. He had learned to climb trees as fast as the baboons, and soon he had beaten his best friend Norton an elephant in a game of tug-of-war. One afternoon he was about to visit the parade of elephants where Norton belongs in the watering hole. From a distance he heard noise and gun shots. He hurried to see where it came from. Lo and behold, he saw men shooting down the elephants. He saw his friend laying on the ground bathing in his own blood and tusks ripped off from his face. The sight of the massacre angered Serengeti. As a result of that surge of pain and anger, he rallied every pack of wolves, pride of lions, family of gorillas, murder of crows, and every big and ferocious animals that can cause massive damage to anything or anyone that comes its way. Together they attacked the poachers and ravaged their bodies without showing mercy. They dragged what was left of the bodies of the poachers together with the blood stained tusks of the elephants in front of the elders hut. The people from the village gathered around him. He was standing firm on the ground. His anger and disap-pointment to the people was crawling from his heart to the dusty ground. He told the people " This men killed my friends for selfish reasons. They didn't value the lives of my animal friends. Let us always remind ourselves that we humans are not the only living be-ings in this world. Let us respect the lives of those who are living with us. If we don't, they will fight back in devastating ways we can't imagine. We were made humans to be stewards of these creations not to be savage predators that destroy the creations of the Great Creator. Let this be a lesson to all." He turned around to the setting sun together with the animals of the wild back in the sa-vanna. He had Norton's tusks in his hand and an oath in his soul that he will do everything in his life to preserve and protect the lives in the wild.

FEATURES

November 13, 2012 was considered Club Activity Night (CAN) with

Alumni. This was the time when different clubs had a chance to interact and

meet the alumni who shared their talents and expertise on a particular topic or

skill. Some served as guest speakers who shared their experiences in ANHS, the

things they learned in their respective clubs, and the application of the skills they

acquired. The alumni exuded confidence as they gave words of wisdom to stu-

dents advising that they have to strive in their studies despite the struggles they

face as students.

That night was short, but it left the students filled with hope as they

learned from the alumni who inspired them to never give up.

Some students gave their feedback about the activity.

“Masaya kami dahil nakita namin sila ulit tapos nagpapalitan kami ng ideya sa

pagbuo ng magandang kwento para sa susunod naming palabas sa teatro. Mas

lalo naming mabigyan buhay lahat ng ideya sa aming kwento.”

- Eugene B. Sauquillo, 4-B (Teatro Lasalyano)

“That night inspired me as I learned about their life as ANHS students. They

give me hope and courage to pursue my dreams in life.”

- Earlyn Suela, 1-A (Uhay)

“Sana mas madami pang pagkakataon na sila ay aming makasama. Masaya ako

at natutunan ko ang mga bagong techniques sa pagsasayaw at mga bagong steps

na sinayaw namin.”

- Ivan Santuele, 2-B (Dance Club)

Masaya na nakasama namin sila. Patunay lamang ito na sa likod ng kanilang

mga naranasan noon bilang estudyante sila ay lalong naging matibay sa buhay.

- Romulo De Jesus, 4-B (Samahang Kaagapay)

Masayang nakita namin sila ulit na bumalik paaralang ito at nagbalik- tanaw sa

kanilang nakaraan.

- RJ Fernando, 4-B (ANHS Chorale)

ANHS works with other sectors

for Medical Dental Mission


ANHS Faculty and Ad-

ministrators and fifth year stu-

dents together with volunteer

doctors, dentists, nurses, police

officers, and barangay officials

worked together to ensure the

success of the Medical Dental

Mission which was held last No-

vember 16, 2012 in Guadalupe

Vuejo, Makati City.

The said activity aimed to

help the needy sectors of the soci-

ety through giving them access to

good health.

Being part of the graduat-

ing class, I felt mix emotions be-

cause this was our last reach-out.

The school taught us how

to help people in simple ways by

sharing our time and showing our

concern to others. We learned that

we should not just think of our-

selves but of people who need our

help. The people we helped

strengthened us to continue doing

things like this.

The efforts made by the

volunteers, teachers, administra-

tors, and students symbolized that

we can merge for one goal and

that is helping our needy brothers

and sisters through sharing our

time and resources as modeled by

our patron, St. La Salle.

Alumni give back during CAN
