not too hot nor too cold. It is just

enough. And l like it here." The visit

To be completely you, stay sweet as you are. Which means that no one in the whole world sees with your eyes or feels with your emotions or experience what you think or do in life. You’re one of a kind, unique and original without duplication because God in his very hand created you that way. So stop comparing yourself with people around you. DPE

The Central Student Council wel-

comed 34 visitors from Sultan Kudarat last

Sunday, Sept. 6.

There were 20 Supreme Student

Government Officials from the college level, 3

officers from the high school level and 4 other

students of Senator Ninoy Aquino College

Foundation. They were accompanied by their

Dean of Students Affairs, Mr. Joseph P. Orayle,

an MVC Alumnus, and two municipal council-

ors namely, First Councilor Randy Ecija Jr. and

Second Councilor Rafael George Flauta III, an

AUP Alumnus. The purpose of their visit was to

observe the school environment and the func-

tions of the student council in leading out the

student body. During their stay, they explored

the Prayer Garden, Jubilee Park, MVCiana,

Malingon Falls, and some other scenic spots

and establishments here in MVC led by the

CSC President Charmaine Yacon, CSC Vice

President Aizhar Nerl Montero, and CSC Secre-

tary Euneth Novy Mahusay. The students' first

impression of MVC is that the landscape is

very nice, the weather is good, and the stu-

dents and faculty members are friendly. When

it comes to student council, Mr. Aldrin Allaga,

SNACF SSG President, exclaimed that the

structure of the officers is well-organized and

he also acknowledged the parliamentary

"paper-less" system that the CSC had been

using for the Assembly meetings. Moreover,

the group appreciated the culture of MVC

when it comes to religious matters.

The group's visit was culminated on

Monday, September 7, at 7:00 in the evening

at the CSC Bldg. It was a mini-concert com-

posed of religious and secular songs, partici-

patey by the Advent Philomels and the Sons

and Daughters. CSC sponsors, executives and

some cabinet and assembly members were

also present during the program. It ended

with a prayer by Mrs. Susa Opao and picture-

taking with the visitors. –By Euneth Novy

We have been out working the whole day. Some may be working so hard in the field under the heat of the sun. We are covered with

dust and perspiration. What do we do? Take a shower, of course. We wash and even scrub and let the water and soap do their job

so we come out clean. It feels great to be clean!

Did you know that tears can do the same kind of job for our emotions and our soul? The difficulties of life pile –up- even small ones

pile one on top of the other until we are weighed down by them. While crying cannot fix our problems or solve our crises, tears do

give vent to the emotions-like letting steam out of a boiling pot. Tears relieve some of the pressures and then we can think a bit

more clearly. So, in a way, tears do the same job as soap does for our body.

Tears clear away the stresses that make our viewpoints and thinking process cloudy. Some of us feel that tears make us appear weak. That’s too

bad, because they do a wonderful job or relieving pressures. That is a good thing.

“What soap is for the body, tears are for the soul.” Jewish Proverb
