PUNLAD THE OFFICIAL STUDENT PUBLICATION OF LA SALLE GREEN HILLS – ADULT NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL THIRD TRIMESTER S.Y. 2011-2012 VOL. X NO. 3

Br. Felipe C. Belleza

Jr. FSC, President of La Salle

Green Hills, advised the gradu-

ates to look back with a sense

of gratitude to our patron, St.

John Baptist de La Salle as he

delivered his message during

the Baccalaureate Mass and

Graduation Rites of 64 high

school and 388 TVET gradu-

ates for S.Y. 2011-2012 held

last March 16, 2012 at the St.

Benilde Gymnasium. He

added, “ito ang gabi ng pasa-

salamat, pagpapahalaga, at

paghingi ng pagpapala ng

Panginoon.”

ANHS students have

proven that age does not matter

when it comes to studying as

testified by Jocelyn M. Yu, the

recipient of the highest honors.

She said that it was not easy

managing her time as a parent

and as a student, but she still

pursued her goals. Because of

“One in One Hundred”

was the theme of this year’s

TVET Fair, an annual gather-

ing of TVET students that

showcased the skills they have

learned in the class which was

Last February 6-16,

2012 was the National TVET

Competency Assessment and

Certification (NATCAC) held

at ANHS.

The following indicates

the courses and number of stu-

dents who passed the said as-

sessment: Food and Beverages

students showcased their tal-

the entire community happy.

The celebration aims to

pay tribute to teachers who in-

importance of education in

their lives and to continue

dreaming despite the chal-

as a reminder that teachers do

not only impart knowledge for

students to be educated and

learned, but also act as heroes

in their lives.

In every school there is a student handbook given to stu-

dents at the beginning of classes. It is also revised every year. But

the question is do students read the handbook? Aside from read-

ing it inside the classroom for a week, do they understand the true

meaning of what the school wants to plant in their minds or do

they just ignore it? What is the real essence of the handbook to

students?

These are only questions that bother us. If the students

really read and understand the meaning of the rules and regula-

tions in the handbook, there would be no more cases filed against

them. Teachers already did they part on explaining the most im-

portant regulations. Students in turn have to do their responsibil-

ity to read the rest of what the handbook says.

The handbook is like any other reading material for some

students that upon giving it to them they won’t give any effort to

read it. They will just throw it inside their bag or they will just

open it when the teacher said so.

Administrators and teachers revise the handbook every

year. This year is different because Student Council is soliciting

from the students suggestions on the rules that should be changed

in the handbook and the effect of that change to the students.

Why are they doing this? We do not know, maybe for the stu-

dents to be motivated to read the handbook today and to amend or

to remove the unimportant details in the handbook. These are just

opinions of the students.

The handbook is very useful for the students if they will

really read and understand its content. We all know that in order

for us to have a peaceful and disciplined ambiance, rules and

regulations should be implemented. For some good students, it is

not needed. But there is a saying that “when the cat is away, the

mouse will come out and play.” In fairness to the school adminis-

trators, they are doing their very best to comply with the needs of

the students. They revise the handbook every now and then be-

cause they want us to give fair treatment. Please do not underesti-

mate its value. May we learn it by heart because it will serve as

our guide in our journey here in ANHS.

Do you think having seventeen (17) organizations is practi-

cal and useful? Maybe for others yes. But if you will just analyze the

situation of the organization, members, and moderators you will

think that it is not.

Why do I say so? There are organizations that have only five

members. Some moderators handle two organizations wherein it is

really hard. I am not saying this for this school year only, but I ob-

served it quite long enough to share it to you in case you have not

noticed.

Why am I saying this? Because upon my observation, there

are organizations that are not that visible. I may say we cannot feel

their existence. Why don’t we try to have fewer organizations that

are only useful and important to enhance students’ skills and talents?

This is only a suggestion which I hope could also change some stu-

dents’ perception about organizations and for them to really choose

the organization that would best help them grow as individuals and

not because they are just swayed by their friends to join an organiza-

tion that they do not really like.

EDITOR’S OPINION

OPINION PUNLAD


What is life after graduation? This is a big question

that every graduating student has in his or her mind.

For some who are lucky enough and are financially capable of pur-

suing a college degree, the only problem that they would be en-

countering relies on their perseverance and own motivation. But

for students who are not that lucky, problems await them. Most

colleges and universities offer scholarships to those students who

excel in sports. How about those average students? College of St.

Benilde is offering courses for the ANHS graduates who are not

financially capable for them to be able to continue their Lasallian

education. We in the ANHS are lucky enough to have these kinds

of scholarships. The real essence of Lasallian education is to

change our lives for the better. Let us not waste this chance of a

lifetime.

I have always dreamed of finishing my studies, but be-

cause of my choice to enter the married life at a young age I was

not able to do so. Opportunity knocked at my doorstep and I was

lucky enough to grab it. Now, I am about to graduate. For me, eve-

ryday is a continuous challenge, experience, and learning process.

Just like everybody else, I also have that question in my mind. My

family serves as my inspiration as I go along the way. I have asked

some of my classmates and schoolmates about their plans after

graduation. Only few are sure that they would continue their stud-

ies. Half of the students I have asked are planning to apply for a

job so that they will be able to help their families, however; they

also want to finish their studies. Some students do not have any

plan at the moment. Some are planning to relax and stop for a

while to enjoy. Teachers are encouraging students to continue their

studies and have a career of their own. Unless these things happen,

they cannot truly say that all the efforts, encouragement, love,

guidance, devotions, and perseverance are not wasted after all. To

graduating class, aim high! Reach for your dreams, be a successful

Lasallian in your thoughts, words, and deeds. Hail! Hail! Hail!

Ano nga ba ang hakbangin patungong ta-

gumpay? Paano ba natin makakamit ang nais nating

makuha o maabot sa buhay? Katulad sa aming magsisipagtapos

ngayong buwan ng Marso, ito ang aming pinakahihintay sa aming

buhay. Sa lahat ng pagod at sakripisyo namin, tagumpay ang ka-

palit. Normal na sa isang magtatapos ang makaramdam ng lungkot

at saya.

Ang dami ng pinagdaanan na mga pagsubok sa paaralan,

mga karanasang hindi maganda. Siguro nga kasama talaga ito sa

realidad ng mundo. Kahit gustuhin nating takbuhan, ito ay man-

gyayari uli. Ngunit sa ating pagtakbo mayroon naman tayong ma-

hihintuan upang samahan tayo.

Isipin na lamang natin na kahit may negatibong pangyayari

sa buhay natin, hindi din naman natin maaalis ang positibo. Kabi-

lang dito ang mga gurong nagsisilbing pangalawang magulang

natin. Hindi lang bilang guro ang kanilang ginampanan ngunit

kundi bilang isang tunay na kaibigan, ate, at kuya na din. Sa oras

ng kalungkutan palaging andyan sila na maaasahan mong damayan

ka. Nagpapalakas din sila ng loob sa pagkakataong tayo ay bagsak.

Kaya malaki ang naitulong nila upang tayo ay makarating sa hak-

bang ng tagumpay.

Tunay ngang ang pag-aaral ay parang takbo ng buhay na

puno ng pagsubok. Ngunit sa oras na ito ay ating malalampasan,

masasabi nating tayo ay kasing tibay ng isang kawayan na walang

sinumang makakapagtumba, patuloy sa pakikipagtunggali sa mga

hamon ng buhay.

Kaya magkaroon man tayo ng problema, isipin na lamang

natin na ito ay parang isang pagsusulit na masasagutan din natin

basta pag-aralan nating mabuti ang kasagutan. Sa nilagi nating

panahon sa eskwelahan, tayo ay nahubog upang maging isang

matatag na tao.

Travel the world, go back centuries ago, walk with

the characters from a fairytale, or fight side by side

with aliens and giants. It isn’t magic or time machine. Reading is

the answer. Reading can take you into places you could not imag-

ine possible. But this won’t work if you will just read of course.

You need to use your wide imagination just like what Peter Pan

said “think of happy thoughts to be able to fly.” It should not be

interpreted literally, but still worth it.

Reading is considered as one of the most popular hobbies

in the world. Nowadays, even if there are new and easier ways of

acquiring information, reading is still considered as its best source.

There are a numerous samples of reading materials, not only hard

bound or soft bound books, but also magazines, pocketbooks, and

even pamphlets. Even the movies that are being shown nowadays

are adaptations from the books that the people loved to read. Here

are just some of those: J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series, Stephe-

nie Meyer’s the Twilight Saga, Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code

and Angels and Demons, Nicholas Sparks’ A Walk to Remember,

Nights at Rodante, The Notebook, Dear John, and The Last Song,

and Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Stories. These cap-

tured the hearts and soul of the masses.

Sometimes we can even relate with those stories. We

thought that the stories best described the things that happened to

us. We can connect with the struggles and heart breaks that the

characters in each story endured. Included are the things that they

did to fight to be happy and successful in the end. But it is not just

the fictional characters that have inspired us. There are biographies

of politicians, legends, kings and queens, celebrities and memora-

ble people that changed the world that we live in. Their lives and

stories inspired us to aim high in spite of the troubles and the barri-

ers in this cruel world.

On our way to success we will meet all kinds

of people. Some will accompany you until the end.

Whether you experience ups and downs, they won’t leave you. But

some are just like leeches that will suck your blood and when you

are not useful to them they will just leave you.

People like leeches are very common in many places such

as schools, office, neighbors, and friends. Maybe the statement

“you can’t please everybody” is really true. But the question is

why do they have to use or backstab us? Why don’t they just ig-

nore us? Is it because they want to gather information that they can

use to put us down?

Why do these people exist? Is it also our fault because we

let them exist in the world? Perhaps yes, because they won’t exist

if there are no people who would let them. But ´we are just hu-

mans. This is the common answer of people and it is also lame.

Why? Is it because you are human you will just let them do that to

you? Let me tell you, you are human that is why you have the abil-

ity to think what is good and bad.

We just have to think of how we can be productive to our

society. In that way, we can even feel better because we have done

something noble in our lives and never wasted our time.

Always be aware of who is beside you, and never let

leeches suck you again because if you do, it will be the cause of

your fall. If ever you fall, stand with heads high. What is important

is you are able to accept the fact that you committed a mistake and

you are ready to correct the mistake you have made. This makes us

truly human, capable of accepting our faults for the better.

PANITIKAN

Namulat ako sa mundong ito na isa lang ang alam kong direksyon. Hinubog ako na may tamang takot at tapang, iminulat sa mga bagay na kapaki-pakinabang at may katuturan. Inilatag nila ako sa init ng pag-aaruga. Inihanda ang aking sarili sa bintana ng daigdig. Lagi nilang paalala sa akin na “Ang pintuan ang tamang daan tungo sa tunay na pagkatao, at iwasan ang bulaklak sa bakod ng kapitbahay nang huwag matinik.” Subalit sa paglipas ng panahon, para akong tuyong halaman na naghahanap ng kalinga. Hanggang unti-unti kong nakita ang butas ng bubungan na tila ay kumakampay sa akin at wari ay nagsasabing, “Lapitan mo ako, sumilip ka na makita mo ang hinaharap at ng masaksihan mo rin ang ibang nilalang.” Dito ay nasilayan ko ang pagkakaiba-iba ng mga linyang tinatahak ng mga tao. Namangha ako sa dami! Lahat sila ay may kanya-kanyang estilo sa pagtahak ng linya. Bumaha ang mga mata ko sa mga makabago at sari-saring bagay na ngayon ko lang nasilayan. Nanaig ang pagkasabik kong gawin ang mga bagay na ginagawa nila. Ako nga ay naging turong lagalag. Walang pakundangan at pag-aatubiling nag-patirapa sa pagsunod sa yapak ni Hudas. Animo ay fireworks na lumilipad sa kalangitan at isinabog ang kagandahan ni Maria sa ulap. Marami pang nahikayat at gumaya sa akin kung saan mas matayog pa sa agila ang nilipad nila at dinaig pa ang bilis at lakas ng kidlat kung magpamalas sa madla. Ang mga ipinunla ng aking mga magulang sa aking isip ay tuluyan ngang naglaho. Nangibabaw sa akin ang kaisipan at mga gawa ni Medusa. Hindi ko lubos maisip na ako din pala ang dadanas ng kamandag na aking ipinalaganap. Ngayon ko napagtantong kay daling sumabay sa agos ng pagbabago sa kapaligiran ngunit kay hirap bumangong muli mula sa mga katotohanan na aking binalewala at pilit ko pang ibinabato sa iba para lang malinis ko ang aking pangalan. May pag-asa pa bang matuwid ko muli ang baluktot at sira-sirang linya ng aking buhay?

Linya

Sa aking paglalakbay dito sa mundo ng buhay Iisa lang ang tuwina tanong sa isipan Bakit ba ang tao, dumadanas pa ng hirap Kung ang dulo naman pala nito’y resulta ng pagsisikap? Bakit hindi na lamang ibigay nang madali Bawat kailangan, bawat kahilingan? Ngunit namalas ko maging sa akin mang sarili Para makamit ang tagumpay, Pasisimulan mo sa pagbuo ng pag-asa Para ka kumilos at patuloy na gumawa, Bubuo ka ng mga kahilingang Maghahatid sa iyong mga pangarap Na siya naming magiging inspirasyon Sa pagkamit ng tagumpay Kung kahinaan sa paglaban, pakikibaka ay wala. Matatanaw mo ang tagumpay ngunit hindi mo ito mahahawakan Mananatiling pinto lamang ang iyong makikita Kung pag-asa nito ay wala naman sa iyong kalooban. Ang pinto ng pag-asa, hindi nawawala at nagsasara Hinihintay ka, pagpasok mo tuwina Hangarin niya makamit mo ang resulta Ng bawat paghihirap, tiisin na ginawa Ang tanging habilin. Magpakatatag ka sa buhay, Matuto tumakbo nang tama Pagsubok gagaan gaano man ito kabigat Basta ang pintuan ng pag-asa Huwag mo lamang isasara!

Pinto ng Pag-Asa

Isang dahon na naman ang sa akin ay nalagas Panahon kay bilis, bilis namang lumipas Hindi ko ito namalayan, dahil sa aking kalibangan Naising matuto sa bawat pag-aaral Mga gawain at aktibidad, nakalulugod na salihan Mga guro at mag-aaral, naging kasama at kaibigan. Paano ko malilimutan ang paaralang sa akin nagbukas Pagkakataon at panahon sa buhay na tinunton? Lahat ng natutunan, ginamit sa pamumuhay Katuwang ng pamilya, kaagapay ang Maykapal Mga pangarap sa simula, dahil dito natupad at nagawa Maraming salamat mga guro at paaralan Hindi ko malilimutan ang bawat mong ipinayo at inaral Kinanlong mo ako sa iyong bubong na payapa Binigyan ng talino, pinakilos nang masaya Bagamat sa simula, may tikim ng hiram Ganoon talaga kapag hangarin ay maganda. Padadaanin ka sa pagsubok, na iyo namang kaya “Huwag kang susuko,” ang payo naman nila Sa aking pagtatapos, pasasalamat sa iyo ay lubos Marami ka pang kagaya ko na sana’y mabuo Alam kong ito ay hindi pamamaalam Baka nga sa susunod tayo ay muli pang magkita Sa pagkakataong iyon, ako naman ang magtuturo Sa mga taong nais pangarap ay magkatotoo Pangarap na natupad dito nakamit ko!

Pangarap na Natupad

Ni Renevilla E. Pumar, TVET – Commercial Cooking Ni Dante C. Gorembalem, 3-A

Ang buhay ay puno ng saya, lungkot, pighati, at tagumpay. Minsan ay may pagta-tagpo at pamamaalam. Ngunit paano nga ba tayo magpaalam? Ano ang madalas na nara-ramdaman natin kapag tayo ay nagpapaalam? Mahirap sa atin ang magpaalam sa mga kaibigan, mahal sa buhay, at sa ating mga iniidolo lalo na kung ang gagawing pagpapaalam ay matatagalan bago muling mag-kita. Ang isa sa mga mahirap gawing pagpapaalam ay para sa mga kaibigan, kamag-aral at guro na nakasama mo sa hirap, ginhawa, lungkot, saya, kahirapan, at kasaganaan tulad ng pag-aaral ko dito sa ADULT NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL. Halos lahat ng mga bagay ay akin ng napagdaanan ngunit mas lalo akong tumibay dahil sa mga naging karanasan ko. Ang lagi kong sinasabi sa sarili ko “huwag bibitiw at manampalataya lang ako sa Panginoon ay tiyak makakayanan at malalagpasan ko rin ito”. Minsan may mga taong mahirap iwanan ngunit kailangan dahil gusto mong umunlad at magamit ang mga bagay na natutuhan mo sa kanila. Nais mong maipakita sa kanila na hindi nasayang ang bagay na ibinahagi nila sa iyo at maipagmamalaki ka nila. Marami akong natutunan sa paaralan. Mula sa simple hanggang sa mga komplikado at mula sa possible hanggang sa mga imposible ay aking nalaman. Dahil sa institusyong ito ay mas tumibay ang pananalig ko sa Maykapal, tiwala sa sarili, at tiwala sa kapwa. Marami akong bagay na ibabahagi paglabas ko sa insti-tusyong aking kinalakihan. Kaya ko nasabing kinalakihan ay dahil halos lahat ng bagay ay dito ko naunawaan at nalaman. Alam ko na hindi ito ang huli bagkus ito lamang ang simula ng panibagong yugto sa aking buhay. Lilisanin ko ang paaralang aking kinagisnan hawak ang aking mga panga-rap, tagumpay, karanasan at pagmamahal mula sa mga taong nabibilang sa institusyong ito. Salamat La Salle Green Hills – Adult Night High School sa pagbabahagi ng kaalaman, pagbibigay ng mga natatanging karanasan at walang katapat na pagmamahal. Magpa-paalam man ako at sampu ng aking kapwa kamag-aral na magsisipagtapos sa taong ito ay gagamitin namin ang lahat ng aming natutunan at nalaman sa papasukin naming bagong mundo at sa pagsisimula ng panibagong yugto ng libro ng aming buhay. Masaya kaming mamaalam dala-dala ang mga salitang maaari naming ipagmalaki sa bagong mundo na maglalarawan sa institusyong nagbigay ng buhay at pag-asa sa aming naghi-hingalong buhay. Maraming salamat sa Kongregasyon ng La Salle Brothers, mga administrador, kaguruan, at kawani. Masayang Pamamaalam sa inyong lahat at hanggang sa muling pagkikita.

Masayang Pamamaalam

LITERARY PUNLAD


Education By Franklin Scott Martin, 4-B

My Own Education is essential,

a treasure that we should possess.

Education has no boundaries

when it comes to age.

Everyone needs education,

but to have it, you have to cross

many obstacles.

It is priceless when you made it.

Education is like a sword,

a sword no one can steal.

In a life like a battlefield,

You need a better sword

to defend yourself,

a better weapon to achieve success.

Every child is a gift that you cannot forget.

Nine months of carrying life,

inside my womb at last.

When I first saw you

you made me smile and nothing can stop me

looking at you with teary eyes.

Every day is a blessing for me,

until one day you left me.

You left me alone suffering the pain,

and I cannot accept the day you’re gone.

Now you are an angel,

who guides me all the time

Thank you, an angel of mine.

By Ma. Jona D. Dolenzo, 4-B

We Filipinos are different from others;

we are smart, fearless, and strong.

We are only a small country,

but we are great and as big as infantry.

Some are ignoring us.

When there is trouble,

they are blaming us.

They do not know who are true Filipinos.

They will never regret,

once they know who we really are.

They can see it in our hearts

and in what we do.

Be proud because you are a true Filipino!

Proud to Be By Adrian T. Asañon, 1-A

Haiku on the Go! Again

The typhoon is here

The bird’s nest will disappear

It’s our dilemma.

Eugene B. Sauquillo, 3-B

Tulips

Laying on the fields

Such beauty of purple scent,

Like rare diamonds.

Sunshine V. Sanitllan 3-A

Butterfly

A butterfly flies

One flower to another

Life’s starting again.

Saynara A. Villa, 3-B

Broken Dreams

It started to rain

All my dreams were swept away

My pathway vanished.

RJ A. Fernando 3-A

But she told me nobody knows how. Only those who experienced a near death event in their lives can say. Way back when I was a kid dying was the scariest thing for me, although I believe in heaven. I always ask myself this, will I be able to finish all the things that I want to do and all the tasks I need to do before the end of my life? Out of my childish curiosity, I asked some of the people I know a tough question that most of the time I myself have the hard-est time figuring out the answer. What will you do if today is the last 24 hours of your life? As for me I will invite everyone that I love, my worst enemies, and my favorite best friend. I will make up for the lost times. I will apologize for the things that I have done to them. I will thank them for being there for me through the years. I will tell them how much I love them, and that I will miss them. When my time comes I hope that I will be old and gray but still happy and on the positive side of life, successful and content with the life that I have had without regrets. I will be married and surrounded by my children and their children.

Life is too short and too fragile to be wasted. We have to live life to the fullest and we should start now, not tomorrow or the next day. We have to consider every hour, every minute, and every second of it because we never know when will be the end of it. It would not knock on our doors. It will come like a thief in the night. And today… think about the little things that make you happy. Cher-ish the love that you have. Smile and relax. Think about the beauty of the world. Be thankful for today may be the last.

Live. Laugh. Love. By Pinky T. Agunod, TVET-Bread and Pastry Production

Are you afraid of the things that happened around you? Have you ever thought of the possibilities that one day you will die too? When I was a kid I often asked my mother what it feels like to face death. Will it hurt? Will I suffer until my last breath? Will it be fast like thunder?

“See things with the

eyes of faith.” These were the

words of Br. Felipe C. Belleza

Jr. FSC as he delivered his

message during the last show

of the LSGH Centennial Con-

cert held last February 10,

2012 at St. Benilde Gymna-

sium with the parents, visitors

and friends of LSGH.

Talented students from

the grade school, high school,

and night school participated in

the said concert through sing-

ing, dancing, and acting.

ANHS students pre-

sented an excerpt of Mang La-

sal, a play that truly manifested

the mission of St. La Salle,

education for all. Young peo-

ple from slum areas were given

chance to study despite their

poverty because of ANHS

which offers quality Catholic

education to Hearing and Deaf

students 18 years old and

above. As Br. Felipe put it,

“Talentong Lasalyano alay sa

sentenaryo alay kay San Juan

Bautista de La Salle.”

LSGH Centennial Concert

showcases talents


As part of the Centen-

nial Celebration, the Grade

School Department staged to

ANHS its musical play entitled

Bon Bon Likes 100 held last

January 9, 2012 at the Brother

Donato Center.

The musicale was a les-

son of history which traces the

beginning of the work of the

Christian Brothers in religious

education. It highlights one of

the major turning points in the

centenary presence of the

Brothers in the Philippines.

Bon-Bon is a typical 8

year old boy who would rather

play than to study. It is story of

how the Brothers fought for

freedom of education during

World War II and continued

what St. La Salle started. They

surrendered their lives for a

greater cause.

Mr. Joseph Angelo

Santos wrote the story, Mr.

Genaro Edilo and Mr. Miguel

Ordonez composed the songs

and arranged the music, and

Miss Neomili S. Bondoc

served as the play’s director.

ANHS likes Bon-Bon
