Thank you Mr. Manny Pangilinan

Who is Mr. Manny Pangilinan. Why he support the academe and currently constructing a big rehabilitation center for children with offenses.

He is widely recognized for his outstanding achievement in business and his commitment in the academic, charitable, arts and culture, sports and health communities - has achieved in his life more than most can ever dream of. Yes he is behind the smart schools program. One of the reasons why many high school have internet connection with free high end computers pa.

But, unknown to many, Manny is a son of a public school teacher. He came from humble beginnings and had to get by with meager means to support his education. Working from ground up, he used to be a sales trainee traveling to remote parts of Mindanao just to sell products. And in search of better opportunities, he worked as an overseas contract worker in Hong Kong in 1981.¹

As fate would have it, it was during his stay in Hong Kong that his leadership ability was first put to test. He was tasked to build an investment firm that, in the beginning, only employed a few people in a small office space with a small capital to start off with. This firm would then become First Pacific, a Hong-Kong based conglomerate, the portfolio of which includes Indofoods, the largest food company in Indonesia, and Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT), the leading telecommunications company in the Philippines.²

In behalf of dozens ICT Teachers around Philippines. We would like to thank you for your continuous support in our children specially in the Public Education sectors.

How history teachers can improve nationalism

he history of the Philippines, particularly the chapter on World War II, is being taken out of the archives, dusted off and made alive and more personal to motivate and inspire those who have to teach it.

As told by University of the Philippines Diliman professor Ricardo Jose in his seminars for high school and college history teachers, the war tales are tragic, poignant, awe-inspiring and occasionally hilarious.

The Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) enlisted the UP history professor’s help in conducting a series of seminars to help improve the history teachers’ skills and give them a better appreciation of the subject they are handling through often little-known stories about the war.

Lack of books and detailed historical accounts, no videos and IT Technology are common problems why Filipino children do not know about Philippines History. Our history were tough in broad topics that surely you will not appreciate it.

Region III Teachers Training

It was an accident when i found this blog site. I do not know how long it has been online but as a veteran blogger, I am amazed by the content as well as the graphics of this blog. Actually this blog is about ICT training programs, their curriculum for teachers ICT' s training and pictures.

Based on its Alexa rank this blog is too young on live age. It was managed by a computer instructor and programmer under the name iceman.

The main content is about the topics on their ICT training starting with Introduction and identification of learners level of skills and knowledge. Then followed by brainstorming about ICT terminologies. It goes with word, powerpoint presentation, spreadsheet and internet. To an IT it is traditional. To teachers it is always the basic. They include internet security and ethics. Lastly, designing unit plan on ICT.

Other training which amazed me is that Region III is teaching the mentors about web development using Jomla. (Web Development using JOOMLA, )

I hope they post the results. You know JOOMLA is too technical that even web developer take time to understand. Like myself of course. I noticed in the picture that they include some old guys. I mean old teachers. Well i disagree. Why, old teachers have been left behind with technology and it is hard word for the trainers to force them to accept the logic of 10000110. Younger teacher is easy to teach because they are too aggressive to learn.

Pardon to old mentors. I know you shared some pride about the present cultures of our countrymen in our country today.

For those interested to have idea on teachers curriculum here is the link http://gsicict.blogspot.com/. Enjoy

BCNHSLA Head Teacher-in-Charge Brenda M. Carino is ensuring that the school will be ready for the turnover which may take place sooner than expected.

In the case of Loakan Annex, all the required standards were reviewed and validated by the assigned Inspectorate Team (I-Team), a group created by the Regional Director and co-chaired by the Chief of the Elementary/Secondary Education Division. Two (2) education supervisors also hold member positions in the team. The I-Team conducted ocular inspection, interviewed local stakeholders, and pointed out the urgent needs of the school. Having met all the requirements, LA is indeed ready for separation.
