Although, while I was growing up, he was never one of my idols, or someone i really looked up to. I never really felt Rizal’s importance and presence in our culture. In fact, if not for this paper, the importance of Jose Rizal would have never crossed my mind. Dr. Jose Rizal was nothing more than another lesson to learn about in History to me. I knew he was many things, and contributed a lot of things to the country but all of these didn’t really mean that much to me. The Relevance of Rizal today, is something I have yet to discover in writing this paper. Growing up, I was in an environment highly influenced by the western culture. The school I was in, in my grade school years was a school where not many of the kids knew how to speak straight tagalog. We struggled with our Filipino classes and this resulted to really easy Filipino lessons because the teachers knew we were not very good at it. Looking back, I realize that the lessons we had in my grade school were extremely easy, compared to the ones they would have in other schools. We barely used Tagalog or Filipino at home. English was the first language taught to the children in our family and Filipino was only learned in school. Filipino was used when speaking to our helpers and the drivers, and those who we knew could not speak English fluently. As a child I had...

...on-going formation, to give hope by living and sharing the gospel values, helping the young people become better Christians and upright citizens in the society and exist for spreading of religious doctrine. It is not an organization but a community of young people helping other youth to become a good citizen of the country. Youth comprises those who are 13 to 29 years old, comprises almost one-third of the country’s population. The youth increasingly play a large role in the development of society particularly in the Diocese of Malaybalay. According to a Social Weather Station (SWS-2001) survey, the youth acknowledge economics, crime, and governance as the country’s main problem. However, despite the fact that they acknowledged the severity of these problems, most of them respond with either helplessness or apathy when asked what they can do to help solve them. This is reflected in the youth behavior towards involvement and participation in organization and activities. Accordingly, Filipinos are not joiners. Only one out of eight Filipino youth are involved in religious organizations and only one out of ten youth joins organizations. Furthermore, the Filipino youth was found to have unexpectedly high incidences of involvement in illegal activities such as illegal drug use, criminality, and illicit sex. Given these disturbing facts about Filipino youth, will they have the ability to address the various social ills of the country? As observed today, the major problem of the youth...

...It is my role as a violinist to practice the instrument a lot. Moreover, my knowledge of the classical music is expected to be vast. Therefore, another part of my role as a violinist is to always listen to classical music. Knowledge of works by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, and Gershwin fill my mind. My participation in playing the violin in the Richmond Youth Symphony Orchestra, for example, has brought some privileges. Through my role as a violinist, I have received free tickets to attend the Richmond Symphony concerts. However, my role as a violinist is not easy. I am often conflicted by my role as a low-income student playing the violin. By becoming a violinist, I am exposed to musicians whose high-income families are able to afford countless violin lessons. There is a rule or assumption that by becoming a violinist, you must constantly receive violin lessons every week. Due to my family’s financial...

...PHILOSOPHICAL BASIS FOR MUSIC IN TEACHER EDUCATION A paper dealing with a philosophy of education, or of basic education in particular, invariably conjures in the minds of audiences or readers lengthy presentations of scholarly opinions on the meaning of music, aesthetics, aesthetic education and the like. Indeed, volumes have been written on the subject by such authorities as Suzanne Langer, Bennet Reimer, Charles Leonhard, Abraham Schwadron, etc. Yet from my own contacts with fellow music educators here and abroad I know this is a topic people shy away from because it is usually regarded as something too abstract and perplexing. Thus, its true meaning often eludes many people. This afternoon I will try to deal with the subject as simply and briefly as possible, in a manner I hope you will all understand, and hopefully, put into practice. First of all, I would like to think of a philosophy of music education simply as an articulation of the values, role and place of music in education and in life as a whole. In the Preface of the PSME Curriculum Guide, “Enhancing Musical Growth in the Elementary School,” which some of you are probably familiar with, we stated that the underlying philosophy of our music education program is that it is ’”primarily aesthetic education, aimed at helping the learner develop a sensitivity to the expressive qualities of music… but also recognizing the social, ethical, psychological, physical and other values of music.” (This, I will explain...

...culture suddenly changed little by little. The Philippines was influenced because of trading and the occupation of the foreigners through food, clothing, buildings, weapons, and dance. I could go on just telling how much change our country has gone through. Some say it is negative since we have forgotten our own culture but for others, it has created progress for the Philippines. A national artist worthy to be talked about is Carlos “Botong” Francisco. Have you ever wondered how dragging it would be to study passed events from our history if there were no pictures? From Angono, Rizal, Francisco was a most distinguished practitioner of mural painting for many decades and best known for his historical pieces. He was one of the first Filipino modernists along with Galo Ocampo and Victorio C. Edades who broke away from Fernando Amorsolo's romanticism of Philippine scenes. To others, Francisco's art "is a prime example of linear painting where lines and contours appear like cutouts." Having been able to enroll under sir Rafael Dolor, I was able to open doors when it came to...

...Act No. 34 that incepted the Department of Public Instruction. William Howard Taft was also given the responsibility of expanding the public school system in and around the Philippines. On August 21, 1901; around 600 American educators or “Thomasites” were sent to the Philippines by the U.S Government aboard the USAT Thomas whose main purpose is to integrate a new and expanded public school system, to train and hone Filipino teachers with the use of English as the primary medium of instruction, and to inculcate basic education to Filipinos. The American educators taught an extensive curriculum which cover subjects on English, Grammar, Reading, Mathematics, Agriculture, Housekeeping and Related Arts (cooking, sewing, and crocheting), Drawing (Mechanical and Freehand), Athletics (basketball, baseball, tennis, indoor baseball, and track and field), General courses, Manual Trading, and other Trade Courses Outside of the academe setting, myriad of English reading materials such as newspapers, magazines, and books were also made available which facilitated the Filipinos’ speedy learning of the English language.

...that you were once an active body of the university; an alumni if you will. The same goes for the Ateneans of Ateneo, and the Iskolar ng Bayan students of UP, and the Thomasians of UST, and many others more within and beyond the university belt. Over the course of time and existence of the universities, however, some kind of peculiar phenomenon that had become a certain norm over time arose from the pride and honor of its members. Every student who belongs to the top universities of the country knows what I’m talking about; it’s obviously the constant strife and competition that seems to never die down between the schools. Although it doesn’t necessarily lead to physical and even hostile threat to one another, it is evident that every living ego that resides in one university would not take it kindly when attacked verbally or non-verbally. When disputes cannot be settled within the sphere of academics, the top universities usually settle their differences in another form of competition; a more direct involvement in determining who is better than the other. And yes, what other ways remain but sports! The UAAP had become the battle grounds and, without a doubt, rivalries and tension had always been apparent between schools most especially the most celebrated La Salle vs. Ateneo rivalry among others. In this manner, the school name- being a La Sallian becomes a label; a brand. It becomes your title claiming that you will fight to be the best among the rest. Now, I...

...provision called Social Networking Sites (SNSs). According to Chelly and Mataillet, 2012 that social networking sites are interactive web links that give people an opportunity to create, share and publish information, build communities and communicate around the world. Specifically, social networking is a common online activity that allows people to communicate with those they would not usually have contact with and this communication includes information, news, ideas, pictures, technology, cultural practices, and anything else that people can say to each other in face to face interactions (wikia.com, 2012). Moreover, SNSs provide place for other online activities like searching information, gaming, shopping, viewing videos, listening music, uploading and viewing pictures, reading posts, blogging, and online banking; and, those activities are positively the reason why many students are interested in checking out these sites (Asilo et al, 2010). Indeed, a study in the USA revealed that teenagers are keen users of the internet; 87% of teens aged between twelve and seventeen years use the internet, increasing to 94% for Year 11 and Year 12 students, (virtualmedicalcentre.com, 2011). Moreover, almost half of the students are on social networking sites when they are on the ‘net, (Harris Interactive, 2008). When they’re on the computer, it’s likely they’re on a social media site, too. This is their way to make connections, not only on campus, but with friends outside of school....

There are many rituals but the ritual which is drama is where the shaman goes into a trance and kills the sacrificial animal common to these rituals which represent as the supplicant or humble petitioner to the gods to provide for the people. Throughout centuries rituals are known as – pag-aanito, anituan, anito-baylan, bunong, pagdidiwata and a host of other indigenous lexis. Rituals are used for variety of reasons. To cure sickness, for a bountiful harvest, rites of passage, marriage and a host of other reasons, all involve carrying out sacrifices, chants, prayers, offerings that aims to appease, please the higher being. If these rituals do not get the sick cured, they do not deserve to get well. The Aeta of Florida Blanca has a ritual where a shaman dances to “scare” away sickness. The sick sit on the grounds in rows covered in red cloth as the gitada (guitar) plays and the manganito (priest) dance frighten the sickness causing spirits away with bolos or offers them food in banana leaf to leave the infirm. Towards the end of the dance, the long red cloth is pulled symbolizing the “departure” of the spirit. Rituals connected to harvest usually involve killing...
