Inside This Issue

By Mel-Yza Sunga

On the onset of the

school year 2010 – 2011, New

Era University marked another

milestone as it celebrates its

35th founding anniversary.

NEU, once again, goes green

not because of its advocate

against global warming and its

support to the preservation of

our environment. It goes green

because this year, we are cele-

brating its Emerald Anniver-

sary.

The school year offi-

cially opened with the first

Special Worship Service offi-

ciated by Pampanga District’s

Supervising Minister, Bro.

Agrielio De Lazo on June 16,

2010, 9:00 A.M. at the New

Era Locale’s House of Wor-

ship. Bro. De Lazo led the

school’s administration in ex-

pressing gratitude to our Al-

mighty God for the bountiful

blessings the school has at-

tained for 35 years. In his ser-

mon, Bro. De Lazo explained

that God’s words are the prime

knowledge one should learn to

succeed in life. He also taught

lessons about the importance

of having fear of the Lord and

entrusting our lives to God.

People should never do things

that will lead us away from

Him. He also instructed the

school administration to

strengthen the teaching force

and always do its best to pro-

mote higher quality of educa-

tion anchored with Christian

values to attain more success.

entertained the guests as they

viewed the movie presenta-

tion which highlighted NEU-

Pampanga from its humble

beginnings in EVCO up to

its final home at Brgy. Dela

Paz Norte, City of San Fer-

nando. Tears and smiles

were seen on the faces of

the serenading teachers as

they reminisced their

memories. A photo exhibit

of the school’s history fol-

lowed. A former valedicto-

rian, incoming college stu-

dents and their professors

later joined the guests in

viewing the pictures.

The Faculty As-

sembly slated in the after-

noon of the same day fol-

lowed at Red Rickshaw

Restaurant. The affair’s

highlight was the reading of

the message from the Iglesia

Ni Cristo Executive Minis-

ter, Bro. Eduardo V. Ma-

nalo. Following Dr. Do-

mingo’s part was Dr. Oso-

rio’s speech of the achieve-

ments of the school and the

challenges the school has to

face to attain great success

in the future. Part of those

challenges was assigning

tasks to ministers who are

part of the school admini-

stration. Bro. Romeo Jhon

Venasquez was assigned in-

charge of the monthly liter-

ary-musical presentation,

Bro. Christopher Gorospe

was assigned to spearhead

the monthly story-sharing

An educated per-

son is one who has learned that infor-

mation almost al-ways turns out to

mendacious - just dead wrong.

Last August 27, 2010

New Era University Pampanga

Branch, celebrated the Buwan

ng Wika with the theme, “Sa

Pangangalaga ng Wika at

Kalikasan, Wagas na Pag-

mamahal Talagang Kailan-

gan.” The celebration initiated

with a prayer, which was fol-

lowed by the valuable remarks

from Bro. Isidro Latagan.

The program was

divided into two parts. The

first was done in the morning

with the Freshmen and the

Sophomores. The second part

was slated in the afternoon

with Juniors and the Seniors.

College students also partici-

pated in the afternoon.

Many activities were

held that day. Students from

different levels in high school

prepared their special numbers

very well. Each of the stu-

dents in high school was

dressed up with Filipiñana

and Barong. Most of the fac-

ulty members enliven the

event with their fancy and

adorable costumes which

they wore while teaching that

day.

Aside from the

amazing performances of the

high school students, the col-

lege department also prepared

a special number for the audi-

ence. The BSBA had a song

interpretation while the

BSEEd had a fiction stage

play which was the last num-

ber of the program.

On cue, the celebra-

tion had been successful. The

event ended with a closing

prayer led by Laine Marie

Aguilar, a BSEEd student.

T h e C h r i s t i a n

Brotherhood Intertional offi-

cers, known as Iglesia Ni

Cristo members’official

club, performed last August

20, 2010 at the New Era

University Main Building,

aiming to introduce Chris-

tian-inspired songs to their

co-students.

The organization is

headed by Bro. Dann Philip

Cortes, with its adviser, Tr.

Cherry Lopez nd Mike Luke

Pavico as the club president.

It was 10 in the morning

when the group started re-

hearsing their chosen pieces.

The first song was “God’s

Promise”, followed by

“Enlightened.”Both tells

about the unending bless-

ings of the Lord God and

His unconditional love for

His people.

It was 12 noon

when the club officers sung

at the main building’s lobby

accompanied by a band.

Some of the school adminis-

trators even gave a round of

applause. The club will con-

tinue performing songs with

an objective of showing the

students, members or non-

members of the Iglesia Ni

Cristo, the importance and

beauty of Christian Hymns.

It will also surely strengthen

and tighten up their connec-

tion to the Almighty God.

“Great spirits have

always found violent opposition

from mediocrities. The latter

cannot understand it when a

man does not thoughtlessly

submit to hereditary prejudices

but honestly and coura-

geously uses his intelligence.”

T h i s q u o t a t i o n

a d o p t e d f r o m t h e

genius-scientist Albert Einstein,

fits with the leadership of late

Iglesia Ni Cristo Executive

Minister, Bro. Erano G.

Manalo.

Reminded by the said

leadership, the students of New

Era University Pampanga -

High school Department held a

tour last January 15, 2010 at the

Central Temple’s Tabernacle

where the remains of Bro.

Erano G. Manalo were laid. In

the said trip, the students were

given a chance to feel that feel-

ing when you’re inside that

solemn place - feeling that was

too extra ordinary. The students

had a closer look at his

sepulcher. Seeing the

tomb sepulcher and his name

engraved on a gravestone was a

harsh and formidable feeling

even though it has been almost

five months since he passed

away. The reality that he’s been

gone has not fully embraced

everybody. Not that they cannot

accept his death, but the feeling

of greatly missing him. Seeing

his pictures in the widescreen

touched everybody’s hearts,

and some even cried while they

were in their reminiscence, his

inspired leadership, and his rich

spiritual wisdom. Even the non-

members of the Church of

Christ paid respect to the late

spiritual leader as they have

witnessed how great Bro. Eraño

G. Manalo is.

H o w e v e r , m a n y

people would still ask, who is

Bro. Eraño G. Manalo?

Bro. Eraño G. Ma-

nalo is an individual who up-

holds the words of God and

prioritizes what is best for all

people even if it may cause a

havoc in his life when he un-

dergone criticism when he

begun preaching. Bro. Erdie, as

he was known, plays a custo-

dial role in the Church Of

Christ, preserving something

greater than the self—principles

of enduring and lasting values

learned from God. This is an

attitude of mind that focuses on

Godly things and sake of the

members and not on what the

leader may gain from the

position. It implies a caring and

concerned relationship between

leaders and members; individu-

als are motivated by God’s will.

For the members of

the Church of Christ, Bro.

Eraño G. Manalo is like a

father. He inspired all the

brethren with his leadership. He

was well- loved by his

followers. He gave strength to

remain steadfast in what God

can do, particularly in times of

hardship. Under his leadership,

Iglesia ni Cristo grew to be the

largest religious sect in the

country. And as the time

arrived for God to take him

from us, millions of the

members of the Church

mourned as we lost a great

spiritual leader.

NEU INVADES NATIONAL MUSEUM

Erans visited the Na-

tional Museum coming straight

from SM Mall of Asia. As the

students waited for their turn,

their respective advisers together

with the administrative officials,

assists them to maintain disci-

pline.

When everyone was set,

they went through quietly and in a

decent manner. Inside the Mu-

seum, different galleries were

made for certain kinds of displays.

On the first gallery, Erans were

amazed as they saw huge can-

nons, cannonballs, anchors and

other ancient relics in real view.

The second gallery was filled with

different kinds of swords, shields

and other armors that were dis-

covered in the reefs of Bataan.

The next set of galleries

were more of a transition from the

prehistoric Philippines to Pre- and

Spanish Eras, up to the Contem-

porary Philippines, shown through

images, 3D displays, dioramas,

displays and interactive buttons.

After the historical tour, Vietnam

and China’s porcelain plates, dif-

ferent kinds of vases ranging from

the small ones up to the huge

types, as well as other kinds of

pottery were displayed at the suc-

ceeding gallery. It is said that

these porcelains were made on

different values from the different

eras of our country, and were

By Kate T. Palomo

preserved to commemorate the

vanishing of the Viet and Chi-

nese ships out in the sea. The

last gallery made a jaw-

dropping conclusion as every-

one tends to see real-life pre-

served animals. Examples of

these are the Flying Lizard, the

Linaeous Snake, the Philippine

Flying Lemur, different breeds

of doves and parrots, butter-

flies, hoppers and different

types of plants. The Trumpet’s

Cone, Horn Cone and different

types of Giant Clams and

shells, best example of which is

the Tube Coral, were also dis-

played.

The main attraction in

the galleries was the gold cord

that is 6.5 karats and is told to

be the most precious jewelry in

the Spanish Era. As told, the

gold cord helped some Spanish

natives when they were about

to escape just to save their

lives.

After the long tour,

the students bought some sou-

venirs such as bracelets, key

chains, and other memorabilia

of their historical tour at the

National Museum.

around it. The scene in Laot

was giving the idea of diving

under the sea to search for a

ship that sank a long, long time

ago.

“Buhay na Karaga-

tan” was the fourth section of

the Manila Ocean Park. This is

the ever-famous part of the

place for having a hallway with

a 360-degree sight of different

kinds of fishes that made them

feel like they were walking

under the sea. It also became

popular as it was shown on

GMA-7’s “Dyesebel” where

the lead stars were having a

tour at the place.

Next to Buhay na

Karagatan is “Ang Kalaliman”

gallery. This is more of an

aquarium-type view of the pre-

vious gallery to have a wider

and bigger view of the fishes.

The last part of the galleries is

the “Pating” section. As the

title suggests, it is a sole section

dedicated to the most feared

creature under, the sharks. Yet

in their aquarium, they seem to

be more tamed and less

ferocious compared to their

aggressive and frightening

appeal.

Games regarding the

proper waste management and

care for the water bodies such

as the sea and the ocean, are

also held. Dioramas and

standees are also found inside.

Outside the main

park, souvenir shops, restau-

rants, amusement parks and

other businesses are found.

Erans spent their remaining

time to buy food and souvenirs

for their loved ones. Everyone

left for home with experiences

to share and memories to

withhold as they took a tour at

the Manila Ocean Park.

As their last leg on

the day’s educational field trip,

the Erans, faculties, and admin-

istrative officials took their

journey inside the very famed

Manila Ocean Park. The

students can’t wait outside and

took their cameras on for some

picture galore at the MOP’s

signage.

Students from the

same buses were grouped

together when they went into

the park’s main lobby.

Everyone was so excited to get

inside, and, giving off their

tickets, they started the explora-

tion at the “world deep under.”

The park was divided

into six galleries. The first one,

named as “Agos”, shows some

huge and rare fishes in the Phil-

ippines swimming in the

aquariums. Agos looked more

closely to nature from the

openness of the gallery, the

hanging vines and the waterfall.

In the Agos section, the Erans

also got a glimpse and have a

touch with Patrick Starr’s rela-

tives, the starfishes.

The second one is

called “Bahura”, which is now

a closed area compared to the

first gallery. Different species

of fishes and other aquatic

animals can be seen here, from

seahorses to the king crab, to

clown fishes and a manta ray.

All ranges of aquatic creatures

are shown mostly here in

Bahura.

As they got out of

Bahura, the next section that

they have entered was the

“Laot”. It was a circular area

with huge aquariums on the

sides. These aquariums contain

some resemblances of what

looked like sunken ships with

schools of fishes swimming

School administrators,

faculty, staff, and the whole

studentry joined hand in hand in

participating in the Citywide

Clean-up Drive to commemorate

the 9th Anniversary of the City-

hood of San Fernando, Pam-

panga. The event held on Febru-

ary 01, 2010 aimed at conserving

the environment while participat-

ing in the Cityhood Celebration

2010. The program also further

demonstrates the impact of

working together in cleaning the

school surroundings with the

realization of everyone’s respon-

sibility as a school stakeholder.

It was also done to promote a

child-friendly environment that

is more conducive to the teach-

ing-learning process, and to feel

the essence of being a responsi-

ble Fernandino.

Prior to the said event,

a General Flag Ceremony and

Orientation was held at 7:30

A.M. This was followed by the

actual clean-up from 8:00 –

10:00 A.M. Each section from

different grade and year levels

were given assigned places to

clean and beautify. The value

of “Bayanihan” was also envi-

sioned in this particular activity

as parents also shared their time

to help out. Braving the scorch-

ing heat of the sun and the

exhausting fumes coming from

different sort of vehicles

passing through, the seniors,

together with their parents and

advisers, managed to clean the

university’s main entry point

and the overpass. The other

year levels took charge of the

surrounding areas of the high

school field. Elementary pupils

also had their share of cleaning

their classrooms and their

surrounding field.

The activity was

successfully done as everyone

partakes and realizes his

responsibility not just as a

Fernandino, but as a Filipino

who is deeply concerned with

his environment.


The New Era Univer-

sity – Pampanga Branch’s

junior and senior students,

together with their teachers and

the administrative officials of

the school woke up early and

prepared for the annual

educational field trip held last

January 15, 2010. The places

that they visited were the INC

Tabernacle where the tomb of

the late Executive Minister,

Bro. Eraño G. Manalo lays, the

SM Mall of Asia, the National

Museum, and the Manila Ocean

Park. This field trip was

launched to give the students,

especially the graduating ones,

some break from the stress they

have undergone through

everyday school requirements,

in a fun yet still an educational

way.

Erans went to school

as early as 3:30 AM to ensure

the 5:00 AM assembly time at

the auditorium. They brought

everything they needed such as

foods, extra clothes and pocket

money. When the buses came,

all were given a brief orienta-

tion on what to do with the

specific places to go to. All

were set to go to their

respective buses together with

their assigned tour guides.

Two of the winners during the English Week 2010 cele-

bration with Tr. Jun Lacanlale & Tr. Charlene Flores.

The English Club

headed by Arleen Mae Canlas,

in collaboration with the Arts

and Literature Club of Neil

Francis Galang spearheaded the

celebration of this year’s Eng-

lish Week.

The activities in line

with the celebration were

capped through the theme,

“Strengthening the Power of

Communication through Eng-

lish Language.” Each activity

focuses on bringing forth the

academic and artistic talents of

the students. The English Club

concentrated mainly in enhanc-

ing the oral and written com-

munication skills of the stu-

dents and the Arts and Litera-

ture Club highlighted their

artistic skills.

The week-long activ-

ity was really a sum of effort

and sacrifice for each teacher

and club officer, yet it gave true

satisfaction when students

really enjoy each activity. The

brain-draining activities like

Poetry, Essay, and Short Story

Writing contests were the first

to be held on that week. Each

section was allowed to send

only one participant per cate-

gory. The same rule was also

applied to the other activities to

ensure that everybody will be

given the chance to participate

in various events. The Quiz Bee

and the Spelling Bee were held

in the auditorium simultane-

ously with the Music Illustra-

tion in the library. The latter

tested the aesthetic, artistic, and

the musical talents of the par-

ticipants as they listen to the

song “Reflection” by Lea Sa-

longa. After which, they were

asked to draw the message of

the song. Alejandro Naguit

topped the said event which

replaced the old Poster Making

Contest. He eventually landed

first in the same category in the

Sining 2010 sponsored by the

U.P. Aguman last February 06.

The emotion-thrilled and

tongue-twisting speech activi-

ties were held next. Participants

battled in the Declamation,

ity since they never got bored

and the auditorium was jam-

packed until the end. Contest-

ants for the Declamation, Ex-

temporaneous, and the Solo-

Singing Contests really gave

their very best to win. Yet only

the best would surely get the

crown. Karen Danielle Tu-

quero, John Vherlin Magday,

and Klai Henzon, respectively,

emerged as winners.

The Elementary De-

partment also celebrated the

said week by showcasing the

pupils’ talent in stage plays like

Cinderella, The Girl’s Fish,

Beauty and the Beast, etc.

The English Week,

no matter how short it was, has

given the students an unforget-

table experience. It allowed

them to show their hidden but

precious talents. It also allowed

them to go out of their respec-

tive shells to discover what else

they could learn and do at the

same time.

Oratorical, and Extemporane-

ous Speech Contests. The first

round served to be an elimina-

tion and only the first three will

be able to reach the finals on

the last day of the activity. The

same thing went to the Solo-

Singing contest as eager partici-

pants sang their way in front of

the song masters of NEU-

Pampanga. Eight students even-

tually got into the final round.

Prior to the Culminat-

ing Activity, the Newscasting

clash between the Juniors and

the Seniors was held. Each

group prepared hard for the said

event. They even wore their

executive dresses on the contest

day. In the end, IV-Macedonia

emerged as champion followed

by III-Tarsus and III-Neapolis.

The Culminating

Activity lasted remarkably for

four hours yet the students

really enjoyed the events on the

last day of the week-long activ-

everyone. Trissie Elaine Alipio

also gave a fervent message and

helped the Juniors and the Sen-

iors reminisce special memories

together. Dances from each sec-

tion, games, and the reading of

love notes to their most admired

Senior schoolmates kept the

audience alive. Emil Renz

Mercado and Pinkhy Ruth Man-

gali of IV-Capernaum were

awarded as Mr. and Ms. Cam-

pus. Kristine Nepomuceno con-

cluded the event with a prayer.

The students obviously

had a good time and enjoyed the

tribute. The event was remarka-

bly memorable and unforgetta-

ble. Seniors would surely bring

the experience with them in

whatever journey they would

take in the future.

The third year stu-

dents of New Era University-

Pampanga Branch paid tribute

to the graduating students of the

school year 2009-2010. Juniors

with their advisers held out a

Juniors and Seniors Day last

March 10 at the High School

Auditorium.

Concerned students

and teachers had a week of

preparation from food to

souvenirs and their perform-

ances during the said program.

The activity was slated in the

afternoon after the last sched-

uled periodic examinations. It

was a fun-filled activity headed

by the chairman of the Office

of the Student Affairs, Bro.

Vener A. Villaroman, who gave

a very inspiring message to

By Mike Florence Perez

Graduating pupils

and students of New Era Uni-

versity – Pampanga Branch for

batch 2009-2010, along with

their parents and teachers, gath-

ered together to attend the Bac-

calaureate Worship Service

held on March 19 at the Locale

of New Era.

The special worship

service was officiated by the

Pampanga District Minister,

Bro. Agrielo de Lazo. In his

homily, he emphasized the fact

that wisdom and determination

play an important role in

achieving one’s dream and

success in life. Yet above the

earthly wisdom we receive in

learning institutions, we should

be guided by the wisdom com-

ing from our Lord God and

never depart from it. Bro. de

Lazo also beseeched God to

continue pouring out His bless-

ings to the graduates and guide

them as they continue their

journey.

After the worship

service, graduating high school

students and their parents at-

tended a short, but meaningful

program dubbed as, “Tribute to

Parents,” in the High School

Auditorium.

Bro. Alan P. Montes,

our school nurse led the open-

ing prayer which was followed

by the opening remarks of our

School Director, Bro. Julio M.

Delgado.

Th is meaningfu l

event touched everyone’s heart

as the students wrote their word

of thanks to their parents as

well as to their teachers. Their

messages were read by the class

presidents of the graduating

batch. They even dedicated

songs to their parents and

teachers while offering flowers

to them.

After the students’

performances, the fourth year

advisers presented a special

screen presentation of “Ang

Sulat ng mga Magulang sa mga

Anak,” which once again

touched everybody’s heart.

Teary-eyed, the students re-

flected and pondered over the

message of the presentation.

They realized how great their

parents’ love for them is.

Bro. Dann-Philip

Cortes, the school HRDC Coor-

dinator, concluded the program

with a prayer.


What is Special Education?

Special Education is

the education of students with

special need in a way that

addresses the students’ indi-

vidual differences and needs.

Ideally, this process involves

the individual planned and

systematically monitored

arrangement of teaching pro-

cedures, adapted equipment

and materials, accessible set-

tings and other intervention

designed with special needs

achieve a higher level of per-

sonal self-sufficiency and

success in school and com-

munity than would be avail-

able if the student were only

given access to a typical

c l a s s r o o m e d u c a t i o n .

Common special needs in-

clude challenges with learn-

ing, communication, emo-

tional and behavioral disor-

ders, physical disabilities and

developmental disorders.

Students with these kinds of

special needs are likely to

benefit from additional ser-

vices, different approaches

to teaching, use of technol-

ogy, or resource room.

Intellectual Giftedness is a

difference in learning and

can also benefit from spe-

cialized teaching techniques

or different educational pro-

grams, but the term “Special

Education” is generally used

to specifically indicate in-

structions of students whose

special needs reduce their

ability to learn independ-

ently or in a classroom, and

Gifted is handled separately.

“Special Education” is not a

location, but the act of edu-

cating students in a way that

is “special”, or different

from the usual methods”.

By Kate Palomo

Parents eagerly watch their children as the graduating class gives

tribute to them as a token of thanks for the love and endless sup-

port they have extended.

Juniors paved their way to entertain and give tribute to the graduat-

ing class of 2010.

If she brings you happiness, then I wish you all the best.

It’s your happiness that matters most of all.

But if she ever breaks your heart,

if the teardrops ever start, I’ll be there

before the next teardrop falls.

I’ll be there any time. You need me by your side

to drive away every teardrop that you cried for her.

If she ever leaves you blue, just remember I love you

and I’ll always be here for you. Before the next teardrop falls,

I’ll be there.

- Clarisse Tagamolila

Trusting our Almighty Unfold our minds and hearts.

Believe in God even when He is in silence.

Ask and it shall be given to us

Why thou were there To confer ourselves and trust to thee

Trials and problems in our lives.

Seek and knock the door shall be opened.

Believe in God Almighty Convey ourselves and trust in Him.

Faith is to believe

For what we do not see but for what we believe

- Mike Luke Pavico

.

I know it was over… But why it still hurts? Seeing you in her arms

is killing me.

How I wish I was still the reason behind your smiles.

How I wish I could hold your hands? The way I do before;

to feel your warm hugs like you were protecting me.

Your voice that I love to hear was the greatest music for me.

If I could only turn back the time I shouldn’t have done those things

that led to goodbyes.

Every time you turn back to me I wanted to grab your arm hug you and never let go.

But then you were asking for your freedom…

freedom that’s hard for me to grant.

But I love you. Your happiness is my happiness. I would endure all kinds of pain

just to see you happy.

Her Care and tenderness has provided me warmth, Making me feel so secure deep down in the heart. She’s been very gracious amidst all my mistakes,

I was never subjected to judgment and hate.

Yea, my grandma loved me unconditionally, Wiping my tears with her brittle hand sincerely.

Listening to her stories every now and then Sobbing and wishing that I could be with her again.

Time finally decided to take her from me.

Her uplifting smile, I would never ever see I regret that times I didn’t tell her I lover her.

Now I could only talk to her grave and whisper :(

Kabataan, kabataan, inyo bang nata-

tanto?

Pagmamahal sa wika unti-unti nang na-

glalaho?

Wika, wika, ito nga ba’y nawawala?

Wikang Pilipino, atin ngang ibandila.

As I woke up this morning I thought that I'm still dreaming Feelings for you that still not fade

And the memories of past that we both made.

As the day goes by I’m still wishing that my feelings for you will fly.

Hoping that I’ll be over you So I can go on with my life even without you.

I know that sooner or later Both of us will get better

Because I know that you don't love me anymore Hope we can be friends forevermore
