i. Historical Background

The Asia – Pacific Youth Forum held in Taipei, Taiwan ROC on May 15-20, 1995 with the

theme: Environmental Education and Youth Development which was participated by 35 countries, inspired Philippine Delegate and the National 4-H Club of the Philippines Inc. Executive Vice President and official representative Edwin Chinel Monares, to conceptualize an organization that will propagate and put into reality the output of the conference.

The ASEAN Youth day meeting IV held in the Philippines on August 4-9, 1995 with the theme: ASEAN Gearing Towards Sustainable Development in the year 2000 was an opportunity for Mr. Edwin Monares, DA Representative, to present the concept in a proposal concerning the youth’s involvement in addressing environmental and ecological problems affecting the region, in general, and the Philippines, in particular. These two international conferences paved the way for the founding of the Students’ Action Vital to the Environment and Mother Earth Movement.

He established the mother chapter in the Philippine Polytechnic University. Since its establishment in August 16 of 1995 and its formal founding on January 31, 1996, the Movement has grown in terms of its sphere of advocacy.

ARTICLES FEATURING SAVE ME AND SAVE ME MOVERS

“Planting a tree is essential to youth participants”(www.youthpinoy.com)

Manila, Sept. 12, 2011- In a tree planting organized by the Youth Commission of CBCP and Care Foundation, 50 youth people from the diocese of Antipolo together with the mentioned concerns planted trees for the celebration of the National Tree Planting day, a project of the said commission. Young people had their unique stories to tell about their experiences during the trek to the site and the planting itself. Experiences to share: Jon Karl Estanislao, a 2nd year high school student shared that even if there is hardship in climbing the mountain, it was fun doing it. “Pahirapan sa pag-akyat pero masaya. Ayos lang po na mahirapan kasi ginagawa po naming ito para sa kalikasan at para sa susunod na henerasyon”, Estanislao shared Estanislao planted 4 seedlings and for him, it was enough to meet the needs of Mother Earth but still, he will continue to plant more trees. For his part, Ivan Jefferson Ogana, 12 years old, looks to the idea that planting a tree is important for the environment. “Ang pagtatanim ng puno ay importante para sa akin upang makatulong sa ating environment. Sa panahon ngayon, laganap ang climate change na kung saan, ito ay sanhi ng global warming. Kailangan magtanim para maagapan na lumaki pa ang problema sa climate change”, Ogana said. Ogana and Estanislao are students from Nuestra Senora de Aranzazu Parochial School in San Mateo Rizal.



50



Another participant, Mark Joseph San Nicolas, a youth from St. John the Baptist Parish in Taytay, Rizal said that the goal of joining the event is to plant. “Ang goal natin ay magtanim, matapos na magtanim, nawala ang pagod na nararamdaman ko kasi natapos na yun goal na minimithi. Kahit ang daming hirap nung pag-akyat at pagbaba, nakakawala ng pagod dahil sa saying nararamdaman mo na nakapagtanim ka ng puno para sa ikakaganda n gating kalikasan”, San Nicolas said. Estanislao, Ogana and San Nicolas had one idea on mind, to plant trees in order to help the environment and for future generations to come. Other feedbacks Gilbert Lorenzo from St. John the Baptist Parish Taytay, Rizal said that climbing the mountain has something to share to them. “Itong pag-akyat natin ay pwedeng ihambing sa pag-akyat sa langit. Gusto nitong ipahiwatig sa ating lahat na ang pag-akyat sa langit ay hindi madali. Madami kang hirap na madadaanan at hindi isang matuwid na daan ang iyong dadaanan”, he also said.

Meanwhile, two participants who are high school students from Nuestra Senora de Aranzazu Parochial School said that they are lucky. Jeannen Manahan shared that other than the positive experience, there is also the negative part especially when she nearly collapsed during the climbing of the mountain.



51



“Yun experience ko is both positive and negative. Positive, kahit na gusto ko na mag-collapse, nagtry pa din po ako, determinado pa rin po akong makapunta sa destinasyon. Iniisip ko nalang kasi na may mga taong mas nakakaranas ng hirap kaysa sakin. The negative part naman po is yun pagod at hirap sa pag-akyat at pagbaba sa bundok.” For Clarice Magbuo said that they are gifted than the youngsters living in the mountain.

“Gifted po kaming mga batang nakatira sa siyudad, kasi ang mga bata ditto, araw-araw po nilang inaakyat baba ang bundok para lang pumasok sa paaralan at pumunta ng bayan. Masasabi ko pa din na ang nilakad naming kanina ay mahirap pero may katuturan”, she said. Care Foundation headed by the director thinks that there is still hope from young people in this generation. “There is quality participation, hindi lang tree planting kundi may consciousness reflection ang mga batang pumunta. Naemphasize ang faith dimension nila. Makikita natin ditto na sa kabuuan, ang lahat ay bukas ang loob para makapagcontribute sa kalikasan”, Fr. Alfredo Albor said. When asked about his message to the youth participants, Fr. Garganta said, “Sa lahat ng ating kabataan, mabuhay kayo at ipatuloy natin ang gawain na pagtatanim ng puno, bahagi ng paglingap natin sa kalikasan.” The Episcopal Commission on Youth together with the Executive Secretary, Fr. Conegundo Garganta hopes that may be more than the expected 1 million quotas will be planted at the end of the celebration of YOTY. Garganta also said that their aim is not just to plant trees but also to take care of it.



52



“Bahagi po ng ating sinimulan ngayon ay ang pagtatanim at mailagay sa kamalayan ng nagtanim na may pangangalaga na dapat susunod nating gagawin upang mamonitor natin ang ating seedling o punla na tinanim ngayon at tunay na tutubo na maging isang ganap na puno. Sa taong ito at sa susunod na taon patuloy naman yun monitoring ng punong tinanim”, he also shared. The participants were from the parish youth ministry of St. John the Baptist Parish in Taytay, Rizal, students of Nuestra Senora de Aranzazu Parochial School in San Mateo Rizal and some staff from ECY-NSYA together with the staff of Care foundation planted 300 seedlings on the mountainous area of Brgy. San Jose, Antipolo City.

“Team Building at Leadership Seminar sa isang araw!”(Estanislao, Jon Karl)

Inilunsad ng SAVE ME Movement ang “Teambuilding and Leadership Training Seminar” noong ika-6 ng Agosto na ginanap sa Auditorium at Gymnasium na kakabit ang temang “Kabataang Sama-samang Handa at Naglilingkod sa Kalikasan.” Layunin ng programang ito na; sa pamamagitan ng pagbubuklod-buklod ng mga kabataan at sa tamang pamamahala ay maaring mabawasan ang mga isyung kinakaharap ukol sa problemang pangkalikasan.

Ang programang ito ay nagbigay daan sa mga miyembro ng SAVE ME Movement hindi lamang upang magsaya bagkus para matutunan ang tamang pamamahala bilang mga susunod na lider, at sa pagsasakatuparan ng misyon ng organisasyon: “The education of the hearts and minds of the people to instill greater awareness of, concern for, and responsibility to the imperative of sustainable life on earth.”

Nagsimula ang nasabing programa sa isang panalangin para sa kalikasan, Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas, Vision-Mission-Goal Statement ng SAVE ME Movement, ang pagpapakilala sa isa’t isa at ang pagpapatupad ng house rules. Sinundan ito ng pagpapakilala sa guest speaker na si Edwin Chinel Monares, Doctor of Public Administration na nagtapos sa PUP, na siyang founder ng SAVE ME Movement.

Ang paksa ng tinalakay ni Doc. Edwin ay may pamagat na “Transforming Leadership” na may kaugnayan sa tema ng programa. Bilang isang professor, doctor, at consultant, maganda ang kanyang mga itinuro. Pinaliwanag niya ang mga ugaling dapat na taglayin ng isang mabuting lider, mga hakbang upang makamit ang ninanais, uri ng pamamahala, at pagkakaiba ng manager sa lider. “Ang solusyon upang mabawasan ang mga problemang pangkalikasan ay ano? Edukasyon! The education of the hearts and minds of the people to instill greater awareness of, concern for, and responsibility to the imperative of sustainable life on earth. Dapat tayo maging isang responsableng lider para makatulong ukol dito.” isa sa mga binitiwang salita ni Doc. Edwin.



54


“Team Building at Leadership Seminar sa isang araw!”(Estanislao, Jon Karl)

Matapos ang isang mahabang talakayan, sinundan ito ng boodle fight na kung saan naglaban-laban ang Team Air, Earth, Fire, at Water sa presentasyon ng pagkain. Sabay-sabay kumain ang apat na team kasama si Doc. Edwin.

Nagkaroon muli ng talakayan na sinimulan ni Doc. Edwin matapos ang boodle fight. Pinamagatan itong “Economics, SAVE ME Movement Leadership Institute.” Tungkol ito sa pagtugon sa pangangailangan ng tao ng hindi nakasisira sa kalikasan (Sustainable Development).

Sumunod na ang pinakahihintay ng lahat ng movers: ang teambuilding event. Ito ang pagkakasunud-sunod ng mga activity: creating team flag and yell, message relay, water relay, connecting lines, jigsaw puzzle, spider’s web, at caterpillar walk. Kitang-kita sa mga mukha ng movers ang pagtutulungan at pagpupursigi upang manalo kahit na anumang pagsubok ang hinarap. Tumagal nang halos tatlong oras ang teambuilding event.

Matapos ang teambuilding event, nais ni Doc. Edwin na malaman kung ano ang natutunan ng mga mover. “Ano ang natutunan mo sa kakatapos lamang na teambuilding event?” tanong niya. “Natutunan ko po ang kahalagahan ng pagkakaisa at ng tamang pamumuno. Dahil po doon ay natapos po namin ang mga pagsubok at nakamit ang ninanais; iyon ay ang manalo at mapanatili ang matibay na samahan sa loob ng aming team” sagot ng isang mover mula sa Team Water.

Bilang presidente ng SAVE ME Movement at isa sa mga nag-organize ng event, hindi rin ako nakaligtas sa tanong ng founder. “Ikaw Mr. President, sa tingin mo ba ay naging matagumpay ang teambuilding event na ito?” “Sa tingin ko po ay naging matagumpay ang teambuilding event na ito dahil natutunan ng mga mover ang importansya ng pagtutulungan at tamang pamamahala bilang isa sa mga susunod na lider. Kahit gaano po kahirap ang mga pagsubok, pinilit nila itong harapin at tapusin. Nagagalak po ako at ang aking mga kasamang officers dahil naging matagumpay ang Teambuilding and Leadership Training Seminar 2011.” Ipahahayag ang mga nanalo sa teambuilding event ng SAVE ME Movement sa susunod na pagpupulong nito.

“Eco-Committee: Aksyon Para sa nagbabagong Mundo”(Alvarez, Chanhelle and Estanislao, Jon Karl)

Bilang tugon sa pagbabawas ng suliraning pangkalikasan, itinatag ng paaralang Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu Parochial School ang Eco-Committee, isang komite na binubuo ng mga guro, estudyante, at mga miyembro ng faculty. Sama-samang aaksyon ang mga kasapi, at maging ang mga bumubuo ng nasabing paaralan, upang matugunan at maisalba ang kalikasan sa gitna ng maraming pagbabago sa mundo. Ang pagkabuo ng komiteng ito ay isa pa lang sa maraming hakbang upang mapreserba at maibalik ang balanse ng kalikasan. Imposible man para sa pananaw ng iba, maaari pa pa din ito kung maniniwala at aaksyon para sa gusto makamtan. Ang mga sumusunod ay ang mga pangalan ng mga estudyante sa Eco-Committee:

• Projects and Activities Implementation Committee Jon Karl Estanislao Chanhelle Keith Alvarez Ivan Jefferson Ogana

• Environmental Issues and Research Committee John Marvin Macaraeg Sherwin Diamante Nicole Anne Paule Bea San Pascual Rizza May Delgado

• Environmental Campaign Committee Edwil Angelo Quezada Frances Clarice Magbuo Clyde Ezekiel Santos Al Francis Bontogon

• Waste Management, Segregation, and Recycling Committee Joel Andrew Cruz, Jr. Jeannen Xargie Manahan Justine Mae Geraldez Kin Renwik Manuel



56



Kasama sa Eco-Committee ang mga guro, administrators ng paaralan, mga

magulang, at iba pang mga estudyante upang maging katuwang nito sa pagpapatupad ng mga kampanya at proyekto:

• Mr. Gilbert Cruz - Programs for Students (YES-O/ SAVE-ME Adviser )

• Mr. Jericho Buena - Programs for Disaster Preparedness (Marshal SDMC)

• Mr. Eric Dongallo - Programs for Curriculum (Science Coordinator)

• Mrs. Marissa Santos - Programs for Curriculum• Mrs. Emma Rico - Programs for Curriculum• Ms. Violeta Pabatao - Programs for Curriculum • Mrs. Rea Esteban - Programs for Personnel• Mrs. Rosalia Lim - Programs for Community• Mrs. Tess De Castro - Programs for Canteen• Mrs. Juanita Cala - Programs for Parents• Mr. Jose Procalla - Programs for Students• Mrs. Annabelle Andres - Programs for Students• Mr. Jed Manalo• Mrs. Purificacion Singueo – Consultant• Fr. Gerry Masangya – Consultant• Parent Council Officers• Student Council President• SAVE ME Movement President



57



Naghanda ng iba’t-ibang proyekto ang eco-committee upang magsilbing pangunahing hakbang para sa mga susunod pang mga aktibidad na isasagawa ng nasabing komite. Ilan sa mga proyektong ito ay ang mga sumusunod:

• Please Give Me a 30-minute Break• Ako ay Handa• Gawad KKK• Paper Retriever System• Plant a tree, Earn a degree• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle• No Trashcan Policy• Green Wall of NSDAPS• How Long Can You Live? (anti-smoking awareness)• Fashionista de Vazura• Mold It With Your Hands• Luntiang Araw• Rainwater Harvesting• Magtanim, magwagi (Community Awareness Program)• Timba-timbang papremyo (Community Awareness Program)• Switch-off Panalo (Community Awareness Program)

Ang komiteng ito ay itinatag upang matulungan ang ating paaralan sa pagresponde sa sibilisasyon na nagaganap ngayon sa mundo. Maraming pagbabago ang nagaganap at kasama na doon ay ang pagkakaroon ng "climate change" o pagbabago bago sa klima, at ang pagtatatatag ng komiteng ito ay hindi sapat kung wala ang tulong ng paaralan, at pagkilos ng mga mag-aaral, kaya huwag lang tayo depende ng depende, kumilos tayo dahil “Ang Isang Aranzan, makakalikasan!”

“SAVE ME Movement – Tagapangalaga ng Paaralan”(Pugal, Jethro)

Inihayag noong nakaraang Hunyo ng Students’ Actions Vital to the Environment and Mother Earth o SAVE ME Movement ang kanilang panibagong tungkulin sa ating paaralan- ang mangalaga ng kalinisan, kaayusan, at kabutihang asal. Ang SAVE ME movement na ngayon ang opisyal na tagapamahala at tagapagpatupad ng KKK na isa nang tradisyon sa paaralan.

Ang SAVE ME Movement, na naglalayon ng kaayusan at kalinisan sa kalikasan, ay ngayo’y nagsisimula nang magpatupad ng mga batas sa KKK. Ayon nga kay G. Gilbert Cruz, moderator ng nasabing club, “Isa sa mga layunin ng aming organisasyon ang magpakalat at magbigay ng tamang impormasyon at kaalaman kung papaano mapangangalagaan ang kalikasang bigay ng Diyos. Ako ay naniniwala na ang programang ito ay isang simula—maaring simple, ngunit mahalagang bahagi ng pagsasabuhay ng aming mga layunin. Kami ay umaasa na ang bawat guro at estudyante ng ating paaralan ay patuloy na makikibahagi sa programang ito hindi dahil bilang isang kumpetisyon ay mahalaga para sa ating lahat.”

Sabi pa ni G. Cruz, siya ay nakakaramdam ng “pinaghalong tuwa at kaba sapagkat alam kong isang napakalaking responsibilidad at hamon sa akin bilang tagapayo ng aming organisasyon ang tanggapin ang programang ito bilang isang programa ng SAVE ME Movement at ng Youth for Environment School Organization. Ngayong ito ay nasa pamumuno na ng aming organisasyon, minabuti naming palawakin ang rubric sa pagbibigay ng grado.

Kada buwan ang ginagawang pamimili ng mga nagwagi sa KKK, at ito ay nededetermino base sa mga marka na ibinibigay ng mga guro sa bawat kwarto na kanilang pinapasukan. Sinusukat nito, bukod sa iba pang mga batayan, ang pagkakaayos ng silid-aralan, ang pananamit ng mga estudyante, ang kanilang paggalang sa mga guro, at pati ang kanilang pagbati.
