Dr. Fajilago initiates school improvements

Despite the hec-tic schedule, Dr. Santiago F. Fajilago Jr. initiated the im-provement of school facili-ties at CNHS. His projects started by the beginning of 2014. First, he funded the repainting of school buildings and steel matting fences. Then a 2x4 exten-sion room for the Finance and Accounting Personnel Office was built which pro-vided convenience for the

occupants. A n o t h e rproject was the improve-ment of the stage. The roughflooring is now installed with glazed tiles. Galva-nized iron pipe railing wasconstructed through the help of Mr. Larry Hizon and Mr. Leo Maines. A mural painting of Mrs. Lizette Mangilin covered the brick colored background to complete the new look. The school prin-

cipal’s plan of expanding the flooring of the covered court materialized in Feb-ruary including its roofing by utilizing the materials from the demolished FVR building. It was completed within a week through his close supervision. Sir Fajilago is just on his sixth month of ser-vice at CNHS. He said he still has a lot of plans to promote continuous deve-lopment in the future.

Technology and Livelihood Education(TLE) is a part of learning areas in Philippine Secondary Schools. Its components are: Home Econo-mics, Agri-Fishery Arts, Industrial Arts and Information and CommunicationsTechnology. Department of Education (DepEd) is implementing to have anexploration (Grade 7 and 8) andspecialization phase (Grade 9 – 12) through the help of Technical Edu-cation and Skills DevelopmentAuthority (TESDA). Having an explora-tion phase in TLE is a great benefit for theincoming grade 9 students because it will guide them to decide if their skills are either technical or livelihood. As they make up their minds, it is the time for them to choose their specialization. Calumpang National High School is one of the schools in Laguna where TLE teachers employed are ofdifferent expertise. We are lucky enough that even from old curriculum to present curriculum, students are able to enroll their preference. It is an advantage for one student to have his/her specialization because they will not get confused in getting their courses thus leading them to the right path in college. Their knowledge and skills will also apply to practical living. Students will experience earning while schooling. (E.Conte)

What if, there is no technology? What if there is no technology? Can you imagine our world if there is no electricity, no com-puters, no gadgets and no appliances anymore. Life won’t be easier like what we have today. Everyday in our life, we need all those products of technology specially electricity for ev-eryday use. Vehicles are needed for us to go from one place to another and in just short period of time, you can easily reach your destination. Appliances help many housekeepers to make their work much easier and faster specially the household works of mothers. On the other hand, students really depend on internet and computer for more advanced and efficient way of learning and gaining ideas. We can research anything and in just one click, informa-tion that you need will be yours immediately. And of course, because of technology we can communi-cate to our relatives and friends even if they are far from us with the use of mobile phones and social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Skype. The products are very useful in our life, in fact, invented for a good purpose. But sadly, some of us use technology for nonsense, useless and abusive purposes. There are people who are using technol-ogy in making pornographic films. Others are using it as tool for cybersex. Most teen agers devote their time in playing on line games. Let us remember that in every benefit there are always corresponding responsibilities. We have to make technology as a useful tool and not a dangerous invention of man for without it, maybe we are still stuck in a world of progression.

Technology: Yesterday, Today and Beyond Time is passing by and in a single blink of our eyes, our today would be our yesterday and in a single second, the future will be our today. This is brought about by the fast progression of technology in our world. As a result, modernization, industrialization and globalization will arise in our world and we could notice the big gap between tech-nology yesterday, today and tomorrow. Mobile phones, computers, laptops and other moderngadgets are still upgrading. New inventors are being more frequent. Newdiscoveries continue to give new concepts in man’s daily activi-ties. Such discoveries and inventions visions a picture of a more modernized and innovative living. Technology can make almosteverything we need. It has many contributions in the field of medicine, agriculture, architectural works, transportations, communications and many more. It also contributes a lot in terms of production of goods and services. If there is what we called “kalesa” yesterday, cars areinvented and upgraded today, hovercrafts will carry us in our fu-ture. In addition, more improved skyways will be constructed in themodern world. Holographic calls may also be invented. In terms ofcuring, new medicines might be created to cure diseases.

ULAT NG TECHNO CLUBG. Sinnung, Muling Nag-aaral

Si G. Junnico Sin-nung, dalawampu’t anim na taong gulang, na isang guro sa ating paaralan ay nagtuturo ng English sa grade 8. Alam nating lahat na mahirap ang pagiging guro. Ngunit siya ay kahanga-hanga dahil sa araw-araw ng kanyang pagtuturo ay nagaga-wa pa niyang mag-aral tuwing hapon. Isa siyang modelo na dapat tularan ng sinuman dahil sa kabila ng kanyang pagsa-sakripisyo sa pagtuturo ay hindi pa din siya napapagod mag-aral. Sa kasalukuyan, siya ay kumukuha ng Food Tech, Commercial Cooking at Food and Beverage na sakop ng HRM. Siya ay nag-aaral sa TESDA simula noong Nobyem-bre hanggang sa kasalukuyan na matatapos ngayong Marso. Nais niyang makakuha ng Na-tional Certficate dahil ito ang magiging daan upang maabot niya ang kanyang pangarap na maging isang guro ng TLE.

looking outfits and sweet melody made the event a unique celebration. The balloon arc and the new stage gave the venue a pleasant look. I looked for my partner so that we can prepare for the incoming ceremony. When the program started, we took some photos at the balloon arc and at the stage. After the speech of the staff, we began candle light ceremony. We took a break and ate dinner after the cotil-lion dance. We also joined the “Search for Mr. and Ms. JS 2014”. Even if I wasn’t chosen as one of the finalists, I was still happy to have an experience in that moment. After the program, the music and beat flowed and students started to dance again. When the sweet melody started to play, I invited my first dance, my classmates, then followed by my friends from III-Magnesium and IV-Einstein. Of course, I had not forgotten to invite my partner at the dance floor. My friends and I rolled when hip-hop music played. We had a lot of bonding the whole night. And, speaking with the best dance? My 7th dance is my best one. The event ended at 4:00 in the morning. I arrived at 5:30 at home. It took over a week before I get over in this very memorable, lovable and unforgettable celebration in my life – the JS Promenade 2014!

Puto ng Biñan, lanzones ng Nagcarlan, kinulob na itik ng Victoria, buko pie ng Los Baños,kesong puti ng Sta. Cruz at matamis na pinya ng Calauan - tiyak na pananabikan mo ang mga pagka-ing ito na mula sa Laguna. Ito ay patok na pasalubong at pamatid gutom habang nilalakbay mo ang kagandahan ng lalawigan. Halina’t lakbayin na-tin ang kabuuan ng Laguna. Sisimulan ko ito sa Sta. Rosa. Masayang dinarayo dito ang sikat na sikat na Enchanted Kingdom.Napakaganda! Kitang kita ko ang malalaki at makukulay na rides. Habang ako’y papunta sa aking susunod na paroroonan, nadaanan ko ang lunsod ng Cabuyao. Na-tanaw ko ang naglalakihang kom-panya at pagawaan. Nalampasan ko rin ang nakakarapreskong mga hot spring resorts, at estatwa ng pambansang bayani at ang kalan at banga na sumisimbolo sa Calamba.Nakarating na ako sa Los Baños. Naglibot ako sa napakalawak na Unibersidad ng Pilipinas. Nakat-indig ang nagtataasang puno at nakalatag naman ang mga damo. Samantalang binabantayan ni “Oblation” na likha ng iskultor na si Guillermo Tolentino. Dumaan ako sandali sa Makiling Botani-cal Garden at napansin kong ka-hanga- hanga ang mga halaman doon, ayon sa paglalarawan ng tour guide. Sa muli kong pagsakay,

nalibang ako sa panunuod ng mga magagandang halaman at bulaklak sa Bay at Calauan. Lumiko naman ako sa may malaking itik at nakarating ako sa Alaminos. Ang sarap ng gatas at pas-tillas! Pinagpatuloy ko ang pagla-lakbay at nadaanan ko ang Sampa-loc Lake sa San Pablo na naliligiran ng luntiang bundok. Nalanghap ko rin ang masarap na bibingkang bi-gas, nilabog na suman at merengue. Sa pagdating ko sa Nagcarlan, na-mangha ako sa kasaysayan ng Un-derground Cemetery at Bunga Twin Falls. Dinarayo pala ang bayang ito dahil sa binabalik-balikang lanzo-nes. Sa parte naman ng Majayjay ay nasaksihan ko ang ganda ng Tay-tay Falls at nakatikim ng masarap na atsara. Nalibot ko rin ang Saint Gregory The Great Church, isa as pinakalumang simbahan na itinayo noong 1575, habang suut-suot ang matibay na tsinelas galing Liliw. Ito na ang pinakahinihintay ko, ang makarating sa Pagsanjan Falls. Dito ako nakaranas ng pama-mangka sa “shooting rapids” kasa-ma ang bangkero. Napansin ko rin ang makalumang bahay na kakiki-taan ng pagiging mapagpanatili ng ating kultura. Hindi nga kataka-ta-kang ang bayang ito ay tinaguriang “tourist capital” of Laguna. Saman-tala, ang bayan ng Lumban naman ay popular sa produkto nilang ba-rong na may sari-saring disenyong

ibinurda. Kaakit-akit ding tingnan ang nalampasan kong “Carving Capital of the Philippines” na ka-hanga-hanga pagdating sa larangan ng pag-uukit. Patok dito ang pag-uukit gamit ang kahoy at yelo pati na rin ang pinagmamalaki ng mga Paeteños na “paper mache”. Sunod ay inakyat ko naman ang Nuestra Señora de Candelaria na may 126 na baitang sa bayan naman ng Mabi-tac. Bilang huli kong destinasyon, ang bayan ng Santa Cruz na kabisera ng ating lala-wigan, pumasok ako sa palengke na may apat na gusali at bumili ng masarap na tinapa, sinaing na tul-ingan at masustansyang kesong puti na gawa sa gatas ng kalabaw. Naab-utan ko rin ang “La Laguna Festi-val”, kung saan may mga patimpa-lak na maaaring salihan ng lahat ng bayan sa Laguna. Ito ay isang maikling pagtitipon kung saan dito ang mga kalahok ay nagpapagalin-gan pagdating sa talento, abilidad at produkto. Ito ang salamin ng ating lahi, Laguneño kung tawagin, sik-sik sa kultura at tradisyon. Palakai-bigan at mapagpatuloy. Bukas sa anumang pagbabagong naghahatid sa pagsulong. Kaya sama-sama nat-ing tuklasin at lakbayan ang ang tunay na ganda ng ating lalawigan. Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit ang Laguna ang numero unong probin-sya sa Pilipinas.

Michael Chris-tian Martinez (born No-vember 4, 1996) is a Filipino figure skater. He placed fifth at the 2013 World Junior Championships and has won two senior internation-al medals. Martinez is the first skater from Southeast Asia and figure skater from the tropical zone to qualify for the Olympics and the only athlete to represent the Philippines at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Martinez be-gan skating in 2005 at the SM Southmall ice rink. In 2009, he missed two months after a skating blade cut his thigh. In ad-dition to training in Manila, in 2010 he began spending several months a year in California working with John Nicks and Ilia Kulik. In April 2012, Marti-nez tore a medial ligament in his knee and was off the ice for three months. He landed his first triple Axel in competition at a 2012–13 Ju-nior Grand Prix event in Lake Placid, New York. He placed 6th in his JGP event in Croatia. At the 2012 Crystal Skate of Romania, Martinez won his first senior international title, also a first for the Philippines. He finished 5th in his second appearance at the World Junior Championships and set a new personal best overall score of 191.64 points. A fractured ankle kept him off the ice for two months in 2013.

In 2013–14, Martinez started his season at the 2013 JGP Latvia where he finished 4th. He then competed on the senior level at the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy, the last qualifying event for the 2014 Winter Olympics. He finished 7th and earned a spot for the Philip-pines in men's singles — a first for his country. Martinez then com-

peted at the 2013 JGP Estonia and won his first JGP medal, a bronze. In January 2014, he received treatment for an inflamed knee. He withdrew from the 2014 Four Continents Championships but com-peted at Skate Helena and took the gold medal. The first skater from Southeast Asia to qualify for the Olympics, Martinez was also the only athlete representing the Philip-pines at the 2014 Winter Olympics and served as his country's flagbearer
