as well.. my 2nd sem students,
I am writing this in lieu of the recent developments (and at the same time, under-developments) concerning the things we already know by now but wasn't supposed to happen. The things we almost always value in spite of mainstream practice of ripping-off others' works. Yes, that is -- originality. And you twin that with credibility. I was about to sleep the night before and sleep on the idea that there is an issue that's been bothering us. But my hand and the heart is telling me to do some writing and speak some shit before it fades. It hurts me because the students involve in this brouhaha belong to the class that I love. The class that I am proud of. The first class that i handled in the recent fulfillment of the one-third of my long-time career dream. Yes, one-third. Aside from teaching, the other two are filmmaking and country presidency. But that's another story, or blog post.
But of course, this is not to say that whenever naysayers tell some things, it will be the absolute truth and the only truth. Suffice it to say, let's give everybody the benefit of the doubt. And i also hope that by the time of this posting, everything's under the bridge, everything's settled and solved.
I don't want to dwell much on the things Sir P is undertaking regarding this eventualities. I am sure he is as much or more bothered than i am. And I am sure too that he is doing the right things and decisions to pacify, make sound judgement, and put everything in order. Trust your department head. Some will agree but some of you might not agree on some decisions. But trust Sir P. Don't discount the idea that the wisdom he have is more in
I remember a certain case before we graduated in San Beda. One student was probe and proven that the thesis he submitted was not of his writings. That he only copied it. The student not only was given a failing grade but was kicked-out of school. The school authorities said that it was not only the department that he cheated. It was a direct insult to the whole San Beda institution. That the incident may take as a precedence to other batches and generations the coming school years if taken lightly. Thus, the appropriate action.
Of course, I am not saying that the above case is the same with ours now. Yes, some issue parallelism. But the case at hand is not proven yet. The word "proven" or with the word "yet" will off course, depends on what fence or ground you are standing. Also, the word "guilty" or "not gulity" can vary definitions. There are thousands and thousand inmates that are rotting in jail because our legal system says that they are guilty but they are not. Again, i am not your moral counselor. Far from that.
And to keep it hanging in there..
i will proceed.
Next topic please..
I will continue discussing some other elements regarding the matter, post some articles here, talk to you in person, etc.. when i have a more ample time. Hopefully before you graduate :)
For now, your radio prod final project..
The Singing Green..
Yung mechanics ay isingit somewhere. wag sa huli. not necessarily sa una. kc anti-climactic naman kung sa una, papanget ang ulo. pero walang "abang-factor" kung sa huli na lang ilalagay. baka mas maganda u put it somewhere sa loob :)
Tenga ng Kagandahan..
Sa page 3, XVI (host spiel), after the 2nd paragraph before "to text, just type.."
lagyan ng blahblah teaser. parang ganito.. "kung nalaman ninyo ang kanilang pangalan at nag-iimagine na kayo ngayon kung gano sila kaganda at kung sino ang pinakamaganda, after this commercial break.. Maririnig nyo na sila!"
parang ganung chenes..
very mainstream :) hehe
then yung "to text, just type GANDA.. chenes chenes..", as canned v.o. segment na lang. hindi blahblah ng host. para mas dynamic. para may variation. and yun den yung pwede nyong ilagay from time to time inside the program..
yung XXI (Ganda 1), ..ang ganda ng spiel :)
Rap Show..
Actually, wala ako comment sa inyo :)
Mukhang okay naman..
Magkakaalaman sa final project :)
Pissed Out!..
Thou kayo ang may pinakamaikling na-submit na script.. crisp naman and mukhang okay ang flow. Actually, maganda :)
Para sa lahat ng group, mukha namang we're speaking the same language na regarding sa mga chenes kong mainstream school of thought na pinag-uusapan natin na may halong indie spirit :)
by the way, wala na bang ibang group? eto lang kasi yung nag-submit ng hard copy. baka merong nagsend lang sa email. matagal na akong di nakakapag-check ng email.
anyway, inform me agad kung anuman :)
kita kits!
magandang araw :)
Dun nga pala sa u2b na may napag-usapan kami regarding their group's project.. hindi ko pa den nadedevelop yung chenes. basta this week, magpopost ulet ako.. pero remind me den para di ko makalimutan :) hehe
for now..
bye bye muna..
and as albert einstein said..
"don't worry too much about the future! ..it will come soon enough"

...whoa...a befitting graduating speech or should a say a lovely piece of oration...
anywayz, your piece is really a piece. Thank you for sharing us your experience as related to this incident. No matter what would be the result of this matter is entirely debated and perhaps, it is already out of anyone's hands. As to Sir P, I would not dare judge him, as I always kept in my mind that he has been very generous and understanding to us throughout of these four years.
Let’s just hope that the post won’t deliberately open the still-fresh wound yet. As for prisons, some of us are prisons of our making, yes?
Thank you for giving us importance and a considerable part on your experience as a teacher. Hell, I didn’t what was coming when we first met you. But I guess everything goes well with time, as they say.
As this may be my final post in response to your final post, I guess you will give the liberty to make myself still fairly unknown (as I really would prefer to be not known). I don’t why but it made me feel excited as if we’re playing a hide-seek game. It was quite thrilling, even though so I recalled I time that you quite frustrated with me. Guess I kinda overstepped my bounds.
I’m sorry if I bothered you with seemingly endless quack questions. In a sense it was kinda of your fault, you gave us the medium (this blogspot) and maybe I did abuse it to certain intent. Though I never intended to deliberately spur your attention to what we should be discussing, it was fun learning this by you responding to questions.
Lastly, Einstein did not need to worry about the future – he was a genius. It’s hardly relative if you’re leading a monotonous life without something to shock you on the way.

guess what..
nabasa ko na naman 'to dati.. etong reply mo, pero i have a different reaction today (june 20, 2009) reading it. believe me, im crying now. siguro nami-miss ko lang kayo. you're the 1st class that i handled, not only in DLSL.. but the first class na tinuruan ko, period. it was fun while we were at it. some things bother us, some went kewl, some went rocky, many times happy that we were laughing our heart (and our lungs) out :) ..and looking back, it was an experience (not a work experience i am saying.. but life experience) that i will always smile about and remember. uhmm.. malamang naman walang makakabasa nito, malamang hindi nyo na den 'to mababasa.. pero just the same, i want to say these things.. and siguro, at the back of my mind.. nagbabakasakali na malay nyo, may makabasa pa den sa inyo..
whew! ..what the fuck this morning is all about?! fucking dima-drama :)
i hope to see u soon ulet mga repapips at repakols kong u4a :) i hope that you're in your respective careers now (career not job), working your ass :)
c u soon! even if the word "soon" means 3 years or 10 years or 50 years.. kung anuman ang possible, kung anuman ang sinasabi ng cosmos..
c u soon!
..
(im still crying)
