BED Conducts Leadership Training for Student Leaders

News | Janice Lyka Hermedilla & Judiella Faye Manzano

The "Basic Education Leadership Training" (BELT) was held on September 2, 2023, in the KRU Building, Rooms 301-305, with the theme "Inspirational Leadership: Framework for Cooperative Excellence and Sustainability."

The three programs of the Basic Education Department - Elementary, Junior High School, and Senior High School, came together to organize a successful, effective, and productive leadership training for the CEFI Student Leaders. Ms. Therese Ambas and Attorney Sunshine Abcede were invited to be the honorable guest speakers. "Walang superhero, walang super powers, pero mayroong bayani, depende nalang kung ano ang pipiliin mo. Kung magiging bayani sa sarili mo o maging bayani para sa mga tao," Ms. Therese said. Indeed, with the "Seven Characteristics of a Young Leader" and this quote, we can inspire, serve, and lead others while becoming today's young leaders. They gave a remarkable and significant speech to our student leaders.

The foundation for cooperative excellence and sustainability was successfully established. Just like Atty. Sunshine once said, "Don't ask if it's difficult, ask if it's important." This perspective encourages individuals to prioritize tasks and decisions based on their overall impact, relevance, or significance, rather than the level of difficulty or effort required.

Indeed, the event was a success, a fruitful, efficient, and enjoyable experience for all of us. Youth are the future leaders, and today's student leaders are prepared and knowledgeable about leadership, cooperation, and discipline.

Siya
Literary | J

Mga matang ‘kay ganda at ngiti na kaibig-ibig
Ganyan ko siya mailalarawan, ang aking paraluman.

Siya’y tulad ng isang tula, marami at marami kang maisusulat
Salitang galing sa puso na isang sining tulad niya
Siya’y tulad ng mga ulap na sa langit ay ‘kay gandang titigan
Siya’y tulad ng isang buwan, tahimik at payapa

Siya’y aking buwan, aking paraluman, at aking sinta
Na lahat ng bagay ay gagawin ko para sa kaniya
Ikaw at ikaw lamang ang pipiliin araw-araw at habang buhay
Sinta, ika’y isang mahika at ikaw ay mahalaga.

I once believed
Literary | Evergreen

I once believed I had found the love I had been searching for.
Like, it was just some object of rust and mistake
Waiting for the moment it begins to transform.
Back to it's glimmering, shiny, reflective state
Knowing it was dependant to your touch.

I once believed I had too much to lose if I lost you.
The creases of your palm emanated the warmest glow.
And it was only a matter of time until they ran cold.
Still, it’s something I would break myself all over again.
Just to remember how it feels to have you in my life.

I once believed I was just a wreck of all your burdens.
Please tell me, how much ache can the heart take
before it shreds to a million pieces?
I would glue every single shard back together
Even if my fingertips start bleeding until they’ve gone numb.

I once believed I started all of this mess.
This love that we had is nothing but a monument of the foundation of my blood, soul, and tears.
I watched as you tilted the podium and shattered it
pinning all the blame of the fallout all on my name.

Out of all the words that i have bought and believed,
One of them is a verse that I will hold on for dear life.
I deserve better for all the nothingness you gave to me.
I hope in all my spoken melodies of scream and agony,
You'd apologize for all the fury you had started in me.

Fading Away | Literary
-Anonymous

some things just don't stay forever,
even a friend, even a bird and its shiny feather.
even the word "love" itself,
even the dusts on your bookshelf.

metallic paint turns to rust,
your favorite food will spoil and rot.
like a friendship broken without trust,
and the flowers that bloomed, now died in the pot.

as years go by, feelings and people fade,
like dusts and ashes from the burning memory,
you once strongly held to like a jade,
and now you're left alone all lonely,
you kept the ashes safe from all cruelty.
but even the wind lost its purity.

you can hold on real tight,
to the person you once held beside you,
with feelings and love that feels right.
suddenly you wondered what is that brew,
the smell of something burning,
then you realized that person isn't there anymore,
because they already faded before.
