Arnis for Elementary:A revival of lost combat

It doesnt matter that we were having a good time in sports,

what fullling most is if that sports at the same time helps to

promote our identity, our cultural heritage, a way for more

unied country.

Dec.11, 2009 former Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed

the R.A.9850 declaring Arnis as the National Martial Arts and

Sports of the Philippines.

Last May 6-12, 12 for the second time the competition of

Arnis was opened to the Elementary Division male and female

from all over the country.

Now the schools all over the country were mandated toinclude Arnis in their Physical Education Curriculum. (P.E.)

However on our current curriculum, Arnis was not yet

there, another issue was P.E teachers should also have a proper

trainings regarding the basics of Arnis and not just about the

History alone. This will help a lot for deeper appreciation and

application of it.

Arnis, the said martial arts that have been an instrument

used by our heroes to defeat their colonizers were said to be

losing its recognition. The reality we were facing today was

the need to continuously veer the interest of young athletes

towards the arnis sports.

Lets all help to revive the lost passion for this l ost combat.

Main cause of the problems

in implementing the ALIVE

to poor school facilities and

resources and poor availability

It also reveals that Bataraza,

gave additional monthly

honorarium as support on

their Arabic teachers where as

the municipality of Espanola

had given none due to lack of

municipal fund.

Another problem is the

children. This was the ndings

disclosed by the Rural Health

Unit of Espanola for the cases in

relation to dog bites.

We always encourage the

victim to complete vaccination

however because of lack of

nancial matters some settled for

two vaccines only of which the

RHU given free, out of three to

four shots required. If this happen

the former shots would be useless

as they will be back to zero

Catherin Barroma, municipal

nurse said during an interview.

Being almost 100% fatal,

rabies ranks the 10th in causes

of mortality in the world. Many

of the fatalities were attributed to

dog bits where 30 to 60 % of the

victims are children under age of

15, according to WHO although

the incidence of rabies in the

country has declined somewhat

in recent years, disease rates per

100, 000 continue to be higher

in the Philippines than those

of neighbouring countries. In

fact as of 2010 World Health

Organization (WHO) declared

that the Philippines ranked fourth

among with the highest cases in

the world. (Ajera S. Tadi)

A mother comes up with the cureNecessity is truly the motherof inventions.

This was proven by a

woman when at age of 12 she had

already come up with the needed

ingredients to help her paralyzedgrandfather back into normal. She

was a natural born manghihilot

as goes with the local term. Just by

mere observing with the other folks

in their locality Jane had created

her own version of ointment which

later she named Juana Wonder Oil.

Juana Wonder Oil was an

ointment composed of coconut oil,

native ginger and yellow ginger

(turmeric) with some secret herbs.

She claimed using the same oil

her grandfather gets well from

being paralyzed. They heated the

oil at a tolerable level then used

it to gently massage or reex the

paralyzed part. Now as a licensed

The home made ointment was

paled yellow with very slight aroma

of coconut oil she said the ointment

was also good for feet withvaricose veins, to give relief to

muscle spasm and to comfort

rheumatism among folks.

by the desires to help

that the medicines

could only be

Trivia:

and Ella Sla came up with a hair lotion

possibly could stimulate hair growth

and prevent hair from baldness.

The formula was tested under

10 volunteered grade six pupils

including their research adviser

Lolita Tiron applying the mixture

for seven consecutive days to be

applied before taking a bath.

Related problem encountered

was how to make the mixture

remains unspoiled without

damaging each natural capacity to

cure. The researchers for the main

time recommended that the product

should be refrigerated to make it

stay fresh. Further investigation was

suggested to make the mixture stay

unspoiled for longer time.

Using the combination of

these materials the researcher hope

to help find the solution for major

hair problems of people in the

community and at the same time

introduced livelihood to local folks.

dialog of our teachers every time

the results came and even after

all the combined efforts still the

MPs was low.

3.84% increased out from

48% points of last years MPs

it was the schools achievement.

Far behind the passing score

of 75%. It could be both a

compliment and an insult.

We said at least we were

honest. We never cheat. IS NAT

EXAM A MATTER OF SCORE

AND VALUES ISSUE?

According to our Grade

VI teacher who happened to bea participant on the Reg. NAT

seminar, on Puerto Gallera

(though we were not the

lowest) she said it was not just

about a GMRC- like activity.

We often have this so-called

idea that when other schools

got higher score they probably

cheated. Well some might be.

If the school have already

made a better foundation before

then they dont need to do any

The battle for readingcomprehensions

magic. (If there was)

According to Ms. Tiron

(grade VI adviser) their

speakers said the NAT issues

was not just for Grade VI

teachers but started from the

grade I up to higher grades, if

the foundation was at its best

then they can reap its effect

year after years.

All must give their best to

every child; I myself recognized

the effort of my teachers. If

they gave their best then a big

part came from us also, we

(the pupils) should help our

teachers to mold us not only to

be intellectua lly good but themost important thing was the

VALUES that they taught on us.

This coming March we

will make new records, hoping

our school and our teachers

might be proud of us. That we

can have another higher point

without sacrificing our souls.

For all of my batch in grade VI

we should work hard and help

our selves to achieve greater

goals. Allah will bless us!

If you dont understand what you read then you dont

know how to read at all.

This research revelation became the new standard

for education. Reading comprehension is the heart and

goal of reading, since the purpose of reading is to gather

meaning from the printed page. If the pupil says words in

a passage, without gathering meaning, one would hesitate

to call it reading.

Under the schools Phil-IRI or Philippine Informal

Reading Inventory of 2011,out of 365 pupil tested slow

reader were 276 and 333 were comprehension frustrations.

For 2012 Phil-IRI as pretest tested on 377 pupils, only 178

were slow reader and 200 comprehension frustrations.

Base from the given data the school may hit a little

improvement yet still far from better but how long will it

guarantee an ascending performance in the yearly Phil-

IRI?

The DepEd as pursuing its Every Child A Reader

program, the school was doing its best to complied with

the it ,recently it opened a schools mini library in order

to develop better comprehension for pupils by developing

their habit of reading.

However winning the battle for reading comprehensions

requires a lot not just merely on industriousness of teacher

and availability of library. The school as of today have 516

pupils with only 9 regular teachers and 3 parateachers.

Considering the ratio of pupils per teacher such example

on 77 Grade IV with one teacher the quest for winning the

battle might be so hard.

Submitting yearly Phil-IRI is not enough the DepEd

should also take actions for the needs of the school

such us lack of teachers if it really want to deliver quality

education. While the school should always put the battle

for comprehension as its priority.

Character is something that

separates a great man from the

ordinary.

Each shaping of valuesstarted as early as were kids. As we

grew in our grade level our space

for socialization widened. Our

generation of today uses different

medium for reaching each other

from via phone and electronic

communication for socializations.

Our communication ways may

differ from the older one but the

rules never change. The rules

about how we should properly

communicate and socialized with

other people.

News a bout teenage suicide

after cyber bullying was one

of example of worst result of

lack of discipline from user of

social media. Today that internet

becomes our inescapable mediu m

in our daily life as pupils we

should be familiar with new

terms such as cybercitizenship,

cyber ethics and netiquette

refer to responsible cyber social

behaviour. We may be kids but

Our school lack garbage cans. That might be one reason there were a lot

of trash on our school ground. I hope the School will take acons.

-Darwina Sintk Grade IV

The back of grade I building smell awfully. It oen disturbed our classes.

-Angelica Aban- Grade II

To Darwina, our SGB already iniated a garbage can project to be use

this December. We should also help our school in maintaining cleanliness by

following our school rules regarding it.

To Angelica, there were a constructed comfort room project on your

school building area , it will possibly can be use this January. You can also

help by reminding grade I to use comfort rooms.

meaning of the word: Busong.

Busong is a Palawan word that

literally means fate. The story

was inspired by the tales

of Aureus Solitos mother,

particularly the concept of

fate or karma. Solitos mother

was from the Palawan tribe

of Palawan.

Busong is a must

watch indie lm directed

by Aureous Solito. The story

was about the journey of Punay

(played by Alessandra De Rosi)

and his brother Angkarang

in search for a healer for the

formers wounds on her body.

Throughout the lm, different

people helped carry Punay in a

hammock because she cannot

step on the earth. It was later

one among the victim of rampant

pirate attacks on 1960s while on

their way to Malaysia. Aboard

causes the death of 30 people .

Muslim culture was wrapped

on its rst year of life has a lot of

things to celebrate for, even a sim-

ple cutting of his hair means a lot to

his families and deals a lot of effort

and ceremony for being a muslim.To marks the childs rst year

he must only then have his rst hair

cut. A ceremony must start with

putting the child inside the pat-

adyong or the traditional wrapping

cloth of Muslim. Weighing at him at

the opposite side was a patadyong

with rice, Muslim delicacies and

sprouted coconut. He will then turn

countless time while the chick or

chicken was at the middle of it. He

will be fetch later by a child whose

he will drink a fresh juice of young

the ceremony.

After some prayer of blessing

from the imam or Muslim priest the

This culture of ceremony is still
