HAIKUS

PAIN

Like a lash, it hits.
Tearing flesh from anguished soul.
And I cried, red blood.

MELANCHOLY

On a night like this.
When darkness embraces me.
I long for moonlight.

LEAVING

Shall I say, farewell.
To the petals of my dreams.
And drift with the wind?

Mga Kuwentong Bayan ng Bukidnon

Introduksiyon UPDATE: Ang librong Mga Kuwentong Bayan ng Bukidnon ay maaari nang mabili sa lokal na online shop ng JMP Creative Media. Sundan lamang ang link na ito: BUY NOW: MGA KUWENTONG BAYAN NG BUKIDNON.   Ang pagbabasa ng mga katutubong kuwentong bayan ang isa sa pinakamabisang paraan upang maunawaan ang kultura ng isang bansa. Ayon kay William Bascom, isang kilalang Amerikanong kuwentista at antropolohista, ang mga kuwentong bayan ay salamin ng mga katutubong kaugalian, tradisyon, ritwal, at kultura.

Forced Haircut in Schools is Corporal Punishment

Forced Haircut in Schools is Corporal Punishment (Why This Policy Is Unjust and Violates Basic Child Rights) Valencia City, BUKIDNON.  The Department of Education (DepEd) has a long-standing policy that governs good grooming. This includes prescribing a so-called proper haircut for male pupils in both private and public schools.  According to Undersecretary Yolanda Quijano, “the prescribed haircut for boys is at least one inch above the ear and three inches above the collar line.” Schools under the supervision of DepEd are required to follow such standard. Unfortunately, this “haircut policy” has no clear implementing guidelines.  As a general practice, school principals and administrators have the authority to define their own sets of rules on how to implement the policy, including the enforcement of disciplinary actions on erring pupils.

Untitled I

It's not about knowing you when we were there, wandering, in gardens of youthful freedom. What matters is that I've known you, as you are. It's not about seeing you transformed in full splendor palpably radiant and  blinding mortal  eyes. What matters is that I’ve seen you, as you are. It’s not about hearing you, angelic rhythm of imagined voices  wallowing in bitter-sweet laughter. What matters is that I’ve heard you, as you are.

What matters most is that I’ve touched you, as you are. It is not about feeling your stormy thoughts and calm contemplations though these are far constellations reached only by stellar signals. What matters most is that I’ve felt you, as you are. ‘Tis not about loving you, sweet rose-p...
