All for volunteerism. In any group or organization, success is not measured by the number of its members, but with its contribution to the community.

The Survival of the Praying Mantis. A couple of days ago, the Polytechnic University of the Philippines once again produced a mixture of baked and not-so-baked graduates. And what made the rites special was the fact that it was a centennial graduation exercise. Correct me if I am wrong [though I know I am exactly correct], this doesn't mean any difference if the graduates themselves didn't realize in the first place that from then on, it is a personal battle that lies ahead no more madams and sirs and no more bros and pares.

I am a Responsible Voter. Call it a fortune for me or not that I was born in May, I dont really care much. Anyway, all the electorate does during this season is an exercise of the right to voteoften not the responsibility to do so. Perhaps this is why we are here todayeconomic instability, political chaos, graft in the government, crime in the streets, neglect of education, insufficient health care, peace and order, dissidence and banditry and other difficulties. And inking the ballots for our bets to win come May 2004 national elections may again beget the brand of future that we will have. In my hands are choices between two futures: a future moving backward and a future moving forward.

Without a legitimate unity and sense of a imagined community (or state of belongingness to a nation), any given race will give up its ghost and perish.

Going for the incumbent. Being in the engineering field has something to do with politics. Believe me, I got proof of this. When we graduate, expect the worst, not the best pasture, on our workplace. In any meadow of engineering just any other discipline as well, there is politics.

Hasta La Proxima Vez. As I look back at the footprints I had for the past two-year leadership, I see my importance while serving my purpose more than the call of duty. I acted on the basis of volunteerism without fear and reservation.

Heartfelt Gratitude. When I see kids, I sometimes think and remember about my own childhood. Not that I am old, I am just a college student breaking free from childhood, but I ended up comparing my experiences with them just like my parents do.
0 Government helps Filipino students. Call it political gimmick but for the officials and employees of the Office of the Presidential Assistant for Youth Affairs (OPAYA), the Student Assistance Fund for Education for a Strong Republic (SAFE 4 SR) is a legitimate government project that needs not to be taken aback by political colors. Presidential Assistant Dennis Cunanan, the Office head outs it this way: Trabaho Lang.
