KAILAN NILA AAYUSIN ANG MGA SIRA-SIRANG GAMIT SA SCHOOL?

Alam na siguro natin ang pakiramdam ng mga sira-sirang doorknob, mga aircon na hindi naman talaga gumagana, mga toilet na barado, mga bintanang bungal, mga sirang upuan, lumang pintura ng dingding, o mga gripo sa cr na hindi mapihit o kaya naman ay walang nilalabas na tubig. Sa paghahanap natin ng quality education, naiiwan natin ang quality facilities.

Ito ay isang pambansang isyu na matagal nang inirereklamo ng mga mag-aaral.

Noong nakaraang taon, nagkaroon ng kautusan na alisin ang lahat ng mga "dekorasyon" tulad ng larawan ng mga presidente, mga bayani, mga alpabeto, at mga kawikaan sa loob ng bawat classrooms, sa kadahilanang nakakasagabal ito sa pagpopokus sa pag-aaral alinsunod sa Department of Education (DepEd) Order No. 21, Series of 2023.

Sa kabilang banda, hindi naman ang mga nakadikit sa dingding ang tunay na nakahahadlang sa pagkatuto. Marami ang nadismaya na sa halip na tugunan ang mga kakulangan, mas inunang alisin ang mga disenyo sa silid-aralan.

Ayon na sa Republic Asia Media, nasa 5,000 na mga paraalan sa Pilipinas ang walang paraan upang makagamit sa kuryente, habang 10,000 naman ang walang mapagkukunan ng tubig na inumin, base rin sa ulat ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon. Dagdag pa rito, mapapansin din natin ang mga sira-sirang upuan, hindi maayos na mga pasilidad, at hindi sapat na mga bentilador. Kung magpapatuloy ang ganitong sitwasyon, para lang silang sumasagap ng impormasyon subalit palaging magkakaroon ng butas na hindi napupunan.

Paglilinaw naman ng Department of Budget and Management, nananatiling prayoridad ang edukasyon pagdating sa pondo. “As mandated by the Constitution, the Education Sector [composed of the Department of Education, State Universities and Colleges, Commission on Higher Education and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority] will remain as top priority with a total budget of P977.6 billion.” saad ni DBM Sec. Mina Pangandaman.

Bilyon ang inilalaan para sa edukasyon, kaya't isang malaking tanong para sa ating mga isipan kung bakit hanggang sa kasalukuyan, hindi pa rin nasosolusyonan ang mga kulang na gamit at mga dapat ayusin sa mga eskwelahan.

Nagbahagi ng pananaw ang mga mag-aaral mula sa Grade 12 STEM na sina MJ Lappay at Arjay Yu, "The lack of school resources hinders the students [from] optimizing their learning. Broken windows, broken doors, [and] air conditions should be fixed so that hindi na need magtiis ng students and teachers. Schools [should] focus on maintaining the classrooms, ensuring proper facilities and equipment, for a comfortable and better space [in] order for the students to learn."

Ang apat na sulok ng mga silid-kaalaman ang nagsisilbing tulay upang maisakatuparan ang mga dalangin na propesyon ng ating kabataan. Sa pagsabak sa isang laban, nararapat na kumpleto ang ating mga armas gayundin ang mga panangga upang manalo.

Para sa mga mag-aaral, edukasyon din ang talo kung sira-sira o kulang-kulang ang mga armas natin dito.

IS IT TIME TO REVIEW DRESS CODE AND HAIR CODE POLICIES AT SCHOOL?

Upon enrollment, all students are required to sign a waiver stating that they will abide by the rules and regulations inscribed in the student handbook. The student handbook serves as our university’s constitution and aims to provide peace and order on campus, with its rules ranging from vandalism, bullying, prohibited activities, up to the list of minor offenses in dress code, hair code, and outlawing body art, with most of these "bylaws" having existed since the late 90’s.

Although, at first notice, you would think it won’t carry any negative aspects as it pose as a way to maintain peace and order at the campus. However, this has been met with adverse reaction from students regarding its effectivity and whether these policies are doing more harm than good.

The student handbook carries policies that shape how students behave, act, and how they present themselves in school. Some strictly followed policies are haircut policy for male, no piercings, restricted cross-dressing, and discouraged use for makeups. These policies were implemented to promote uniformity among all students and strengthen the unity between all the learners. However, in today’s modern age, our generation craves for self-expressionism; may it be through clothes, music, makeup, tattoos, piercings, or through hair.

Marylou Clare B. Loreno, a Grade 11 HUMSS student says, “In this [age,] it truly is disappointing that schools still insist on [holding] these policies active… It is reasonable [that] schools promote discipline [among] teenagers but I am not in favor of pushing these policies to [the] extent that students are being publicly shamed, resulting in severe in students’ self esteem.”

This goes to show how these bylaws imposed on learners could have more emotional harm and damaging effects on students rather than their intention of being uniform. Many instances of students being shamed publicly in learning institutions have gone viral throughout the years.

“In my own experience, I have watched my teachers barge inside classrooms to cut students’ hair without their consent, which completely invades their personal space and privacy[...] A student’s hairstyle is completely unrelated to their academic performance, [Hence] the haircut policy should be revoked. A child’s haircut does not define his morals or behavior. “ Loreno adds.

Fairly, with proper haircuts, no piercings, and prohibiting long haircuts for male students, these bylaws do provide order and uniformity to maintain the University’s orderliness. And yet instead, we are being perceived as a “backwards university.“ Instead of being perceived as clean and uniform—we are distinguished as less progressive.

Universities like UP Diliman, FEU, and DLSU loosen their prohibitions and allowed students to flaunt hairstyles, outfits, makeup, and piercings in a way that is not damaging to their institutions’ image, making their environment welcoming to everyone. This shows how our bylaws are keeping us in the 1900’s and in turn, we are keeping traditions that have died a long time ago.

A teacher on campus once told me, “Pagkapasok mo sa school, lahat ng karapatan mo nawawala.” She replied in response to a student who had cried because he could not grasp the idea of his hair being cut forcefully by an administrator. That statement stuck with me and it begs the question, “What are those policies for?” Why are we still upholding them? It all comes down to three things: intention, its effect on the student body, and what we all long for; inclusivity. A student with a wolfcut could get the same grades as one with a buzzcut, and a student with ear piercings could be an academic achiever along with a student without piercings. A student with makeup could graduate along with a student wearing none.

These policies may have worked almost a hundred years ago–but time has shown it doesn’t anymore.

Gusto ko na magka-jowa.

No joke, gusto ko na talaga magka-jowa!

Well, technically kasalanan ko rin talaga kung bakit ako single. Number one, takot ako sa commitment. Number two, tinatamad ako kumerengkeng.

Takot sa commitment kasi I'm such a career person. I wanna focus on my goals, I have deadlines and milestones to meet. Modern day Jo March siguro minus the “I've loved you ever since I've known you Jo—Jo, ano Jo, pagod ka na ba Jo? Jo—Jojo Siwa!”

All I know is career muna bago jowa!

For the second reason, nakakatamad pala talaga lumandi 'no? 7:00 AM class ko bukas tas yayayain mo 'ko mag-late night talks at sweet video calls? Aba gusto ko 'yan.

But seriously, nakakatamad. Hindi ko keri mag-send ng "kumain ka na po?" and receive a "hindi pa po," which will make me reply "kumain ka na. Ayokong nalilipasan ka ng gutom" which is ironic kasi may peptic ulcer ako.

It's not that it's cringe but it drains me so much. Akala niyo ba cute kayo kapag nagsesend kayo ng "slr btw fr fr ngl hbu" sa'kin??? Hindi ko kayo maintindihan! Aside from that, wala akong flirting skills. I'm not a Rizzler. (Rizzler, yung tawag sa mga nakikipag-wrestling.)

And that's my problem. Ayoko na mapabilang sa 52.68% of statistics ng mga single sa Pilipinas pero wala naman akong ginagawa. Hindi pa 'ko pinapayagan lumabas ng bahay (yes, ma. i'm looking at you.) Hindi ko rin nirereplyan yung mga nasa message request ko. Feeling ko aabot na lang sa point na papayag na ako sa fixed marriage or else ipapadala ako ni dad sa United States.

Gusto ko na magkajowa. LF jowa. Bigyan niyo na akong jowa.

Cute naman ako, funny, smart, charming, minsan nga jeep na yung kusang humihinto sa harap ko kahit 'di ako pumapara (I appreciate u manong). Hindi ko alam what do I need to improve kasi perfect naman ako.

Baka siguro hindi ko pa talaga time. BUT REGARDLESS gusto ko na talaga magka-jowa. I have so much love to give and I'm so full of it. I wanna be held with gentleness. The kind of warmth you see on rom-com films. Gusto kong magmahal at mahalin.

At kapag dumating yung panahon na magkaka-jowa na ako, sana makuha ko yung love na mangangarap para sa'yo. yung para sa career person like me. sana makuha ko yung love na hindi para sa mga tamad—pero parang pahinga.

Gusto ko man magka-jowa, mas gusto ko pa rin ang umibig. Magkaiba 'yun.

ANG MGA SILYA SA KANTINA

Madalas na sentro ng atensyon ang kantina. Kantina na nag-iisang tagpuan ng mga magkakahiwalay na kaibigan sa oras ng mga klase. Mayroong mga nakain, mga nakikipag-usap, kadalasan nga’y makakatagpo ka pa ng mga estudyanteng dito rin nagawa ng kanilang mga DLPs.

Sa lahat ng kaguluhan at saya, mayroong tahimik na saksi na madalas hindi napapansin—ang mga simpleng silya. Walang kumukutikutitap na disenyo, walang kakaibang anyo.

Ito rin ang laging inuukupa ng barkada tuwing oras ng pagkain. Ito ang lugar kung saan nagkakasama-sama ang magkakaibigan mula sa iba’t ibang grupo. Sa maliit nitong espasyo, nagiging tagpuan ito ng tawanan, kwentuhan, at minsan pa nga’y seryosong usapan habang kumakain. Minsan, makikita mo rin ang sarili mong nakaupo mag-isa sa masigabong na ingay ng kantina.

Sa simpleng silya, makikita ang samo’t saring kwento ng buhay-eskwela.

Kung mabibigyan lamang ito ng boses, marahil ikukuwento nito ang tawanan ng mga barkadahan, mga nalalaglag na kanin, mga natapon at pinunasang tubig, at mga baryang sukli na binilang sa lamesa.

Sa simpleng silya, naroon ang kwento ng bawat estudyante.

Hangga’t di pa ito nauukupa, maupo ka muna rito at bigyan ang sarili mo ng sandaling pahinga.

RACIST DIN BA ANG MGA PILIPINO (?): MAIKLING PERSPEKTIBO

Madalas tayo ay nagagalit kapag napagsasalitaan ang mga Pilipino ng kung ano-ano, mula sa ibang lahi. Nasasaktan tayo kapag naririnig natin ang mga salitang “Mail-order Brides,” “Japayuki," “Indio,” “Yellow monkey,” “Caregiver nation,” at kung ano-ano pa.

Sa China, tinatawag nila ang mga Pilipino na "Huan-a" o ibig sabihin ay "barbarian." May tawag din sila sa ating, "Hóuzi" (猴子) na ang kahulugan ay 'unggoy' bilang isang panlalait.

Normal lang sa atin ang mainsulto sa mga “racist” na salitang mula sa mga banyaga. Ito ay mali at isang pambabastos sa bansang Pilipinas.

Madali nating sabihin na racist ang mga taga-ibang bansa sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga salita laban sa atin—ngunit hindi ba natin napapansin sa mga sarili natin na tayo'y ganun din sa kanila?

Halimbawa na lang kapag may dumaraan na naka-motor, balot ang ulo ng makukulay na tela—at tatawaging “Bumbay” o “5-6” sa nakakatawang paraan. Kadalasan, ginagamit pa nga itong panakot sa mga bata tulad ng "Sige ka, ibebenta kita sa bumbay!" na tila ba isang payak na biro lamang ito para sa mga Pilipino.

Bukod pa sa tuksong pautang o pagtitinda, suki rin ang mga Indiano ng pang-aasar sa kanilang accent at pananalita. Taong 2014, nag-viral ang YouTube video na "DJ Bumbay," isang parody song ukol sa mga Indianong namamalagi sa Pilipinas. Sa video, ginaya nito ang pananalita at pananamit ng tinatawag nilang "bumbay."

Sa internet, naglipana ang paggamit ng 'n-word' bilang isang biro o maliit na bagay. Ang n-word ay isang seryosong derogatory term sa kasaysayan ng mga People of Color (POC) na kanilang binawi at isinarili.

Sa tuwing makakakita naman tayo ng banyagang singkit, tila biro na lamang ang tawagin silang “Ching Chong” o "Intsik beho."

Ayon kay Jack Lorenz A. Rivera ng Inquirer Net, "[Ching Chong or Ching Chang Chong] are terms [that carry] a gruesome history of intense bullying, prejudice and racial discrimination."

Ito ay orihinal man sa mga kanluraning bansa, ginamit ito ng mga Pilipino bilang insulto o tukso, hindi lamang sa mga Intsik, gayundin sa mga Hapones at Koreano sa bansa.

Ang masama sa 'simpleng' biruan o 'maliliit' na racist remarks na ito, binaon ito hindi lamang sa mga banyaga ngunit pati na rin sa kapwa-Pilipino natin.

Sa tuwing may nakikitang Muslim ang ilang mga taga-Hilaga, madalas nilang tawagin ang mga Muslim na "terorista" o "tempered glass." Bukod pa rito, tampulan din ng tukso ang mga Bisaya sa kanilang pananalita. Marami ata ang matatawang makarinig ng: Totpis at Totbras, o kaya naman ay kolgit sa mga Bisaya.

Maging ang ilang mga katutubo natin tulad ng Badjao, Aeta, at Igorot ay biktima rin ng diskriminasyon, pangha-harass, at pambubully. Isang halimbawa ay ang katagang, "Para kang badjao!" na isang karaniwang pang-iinsulto, gayundin ang mga salitang "negro" o "negra" na kadalasang inihahambing sa mga Aeta. Isama pa rito ang salitang "nognog" na may kinalaman din sa kulay ng balat.

Ayon sa Brighton & Hove City Council, ang racism ay mga anyo ng ”harrasment, bullying, humiliation, at degradation” base sa ethnicity o lahi ng isang tao. Sabihin man natin na ang mga salitang ito ay hindi direktang racism o malalimang diskriminasyon sa sinuman, pinag-uugutan ito ng mga konsepto ng pangmamaliit at pamamahiya sa ibang lahi. May malaking implikasyon ito sa kasaysayan at sosyo-kultural na aspeto ng naturang bansa.

Ayon sa isang kasabihan, makapangyarihan ang mga salita. Iyan man ay wikang Mandarin, English, Bisaya, o Filipino—may positibo't negatibo itong reaksyon. Hindi na natin kailangan ipaliwanag kung bakit hindi dapat tayo mapangutya sa ibang lahi. Kung racist ba ang mga Pilipino? Ikaw na ang sumagot niyan.

Sa huli, pare-pareho lang din naman tayong umuupo sa inidiro.

In an arid environment such as deserts, we can site a plant that has thick and sturdy tissues that can conserve water within and has a total of 127 groups, with about 1,750 known species across!

Here we encounter the Cactus plant (Cactaceae) a part of the roots of the Caryopyhllales family. This flowering plant has the ability to survive in a waterless environment. A greenery like this first appeared in the north and south of America such places as British Columbia and Labreta to Chile and Argentina.

A cactus is an everlasting and perennial flora—if only it is constantly supported by its water storage for survival. Some cacti do not have leaves, for they adapts as spines instead to reduce the area where water is lost. The root system is thin and shallow to absorb superficial moisture that is coming from both the ground and surface.

This flora is commonly known for its water conservancy. Within the parched habitat, this tough plant may be harmful to handle because of the spine, but without it, it is the only defense mechanism to protect itself from the harsh environment where it is mostly found. The strong armor that is wrapped around it is the only bravery it needs to surpass what other flora cannot do!
