The students have spoken. The following are the answers gathered from the students regarding the question, “Which do you prefer to use in studying - gadgets or books?”

“ I prefer to use gadgets, because if ever you have a question, it is easy to search for the answer. With books, you can’t be sure if they contain the facts that you’re looking for.”

- Bien Adrian Codilla -

“I prefer books, because when I study with gadgets, I am tempted to surf the internet and lose focus on what I am supposed to study.”

- Quisha Lianne Felicitas -

“Books, because if I use gadgets, there are many distractions that can prevent me from being productive.”

- Christelle Ann Farrales -

“Books. They can really help me because they contain information that I can easily understand.”

- Yarah Palwa -

“Books, because usually, teachers create lessons based on the books that their students use. And some research show that students are able to focus better using printed materials than when using digital media.”

- Joanne Hofilena -

“I prefer to use gadgets. With the use of gadgets, I can easily access the internet with just one click and do research. Gadgets are also lighter than books.”

- Cy Soleil Cartojano -

“Books, because books are more reliable as they contain more accurate information”

- Sane Lui Ermac -

“Gadgets have made studying more convenient as they are handier than books. ”

ASEAN Integration: The Big Picture

2016-04-07T07:15:00.000-07:00

“For peace our goal from the very start and prosperity to last” This line, found in the official anthem of the Association of South East Asian Nations, captures what ASEAN aspires to achieve. ASEAN is an organization of 10 countries that are similar, not only in their geographical location, but also in their history, culture, and mutual interests. ASEAN had 5 founding members: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. It was soon joined by 5 other countries, namely Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia.

A big question that is asked even by cetizens of ASEAN countries: “What is ASEAN? And what does it mean to be a part of ASEAN?”

Even if at the beginning, there was much doubt about how long ASEAN would last, and if it could even achieve its goal of peace and prosperity for all its members, ASEAN has, nonetheless, proved itself. It should be noted that NO WAR has erupted in the ASEAN region since its founding, and although there are disputes between its members, each ASEAN country is determined to solve them peacefully.

ASEAN is composed of 3 closely linked pillars to ensure a stable community: Political–Security, Economic, and Socio-cultural.

The Political-Security Pillar focuses on maintaining a peaceful and democratic environment in the ASEAN region based on shared values of the member-states. Summits and forums are conducted regularly to allow members to communicate with each other and to ensure that peace and understanding is maintained.

The Economic Pillar is the “end-goal” of the ASEAN economic integration. Its aim is to transform the region “into a single market and production base, a highly competitive region, a region of equitable economic development, and a region fully integrated into the global economy”.

Admittedly, it would be difficult to integrate this economic reform in all ASEAN members-states, especially since there is still a development gap among the member-states and because of the poor state of infrastructure in most countries. But in the long run, the economic integration would reduce the cost of doing business and trade, thus resulting in a more competitive and efficient ASEAN.

The third and final pillar is Socio-Cultural. This Pillar is committed to creating a “caring and sharing society.” The pillar focuses on forming a people-oriented and socially responsible ASEAN. As part of its integration, members-states are expected to invest in education, training, science and technology development, job generation and social protection.

A familiar example of the Socio-Cultural integration is the recent implementation of the K to 12 basic education program in the Philippines. This program, although off to a slow start with very limited resources, will improve the quality of education, training, and job generation of students. This is actually true even if some students are unable to proceed to college.

“We dare to dream, we care to share, together for ASEAN,” says a line from the ASEAN anthem. Indeed, despite the challenges and drawbacks that the integration of ASEAN pillars are experiencing, there is no doubt that the ASEAN community will continue to work together to create a better, more efficient, and more globally competitive ASEAN.

Student youth leaders join PYLP 12

2016-04-07T07:02:00.000-07:00

Jacob Benjamin A. Parulan, John Gregory S. Negoso, and Mary Junnette Andale, Grade 10 Pagsci students, together with 21 other youth leaders from different parts of the country, participated in the Philippine Youth Leadership Program (PYLP) held at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb U.S.A from April 12 to May 10 with the theme: “Environmental Leadership in the Philippines: Developing Youth as Agents of Change and Ecological Activism.”

The PYLP is a four-week USbased exchange program which focuses on Community Service Leadership, Responsible Citizenship, and Action Plan Development funded by U.S Department of State under the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Youth Programs Division in partnership with the Filipino Foundation Incorporated.

During their one-month stay in the U.S., the youth leaders participated in various activities that were aimed at developing their leadership skills.

Other highlights in their travel to the U.S included a visit to the White House in Washington D.C, a tour around downtown Chicago, and a visit to U.S landmarks.

With the support of the PagSci Volunteers Program (PVP), the three youth leaders implemented different community projects. E.D.I.W.O.W (Educational Developmental Innovative War on Waste), “500+” and “Juan for Tree,” were the projects implemented by Parulan, Andale and Negoso, respectively.

PAGSCI JOINS AYF '15

2016-04-07T06:35:00.000-07:00

Mary Junette Andale and John Gregory S. Negoso, Grade 10 stduent at Pagadian City Science High School, together with Mrs. Janet S. Negoso, principal, and Mr. Mohamad Ali E. Ramber, physics teacher, participated in the ASEAN Youth Forum held last September 7-11 at the Royal City Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.

The AYF aims to orient the participants on the five themes of the ASEAN Curriculum Sourcebook: Knowing ASEAN, Valuing Identity and Diversity, Connecting Global and Local Communities, Promoting Equity and Justice, and Working Together for a Sustainable Future.

A total of 98 students, 49 teachers and education officers coming from Thailand, Cambodia, Laos PDR, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines, who underwent a rigorous selection process attended the said event.

"I saw new faces, tasted new food and heard new languages form different countries but I knew deep inside my heart that we were all gathered for a noble purpose. As catalysts for change, we all have the same goal working towards a peaceful and progressive ASEAN community", Andale said.

According to Andale, the activities that were prepared by the orginizers and facilitators of the said event have led to a better understanding about leadership and the ASEAN community.

Mrs. Negoso and Mr. Ramber, together with the two PagSci students, have started orienting the students about the ASEAN Community 2015 and Beyond in order to mold and develop holistic ASEAN youth.
