Self-Definition and
Women Empowerment
In its message for the celebration of the
National Womens Month this March, the Philippine
Commission on Women (PCW) urged Filipinas
to learn how to define ourselves and not to be
defined by others.
Indeed, if Filipino women really Juana be more
proactive, as civil society groups put it, they should
first and foremost, know who they are and what
they can do.
This should not be an act of assertion or some
kind of an occupy blah blah movement, but as a
matter of course.
As noted by United Nations Population Fund
executive director Babatunde Osotimehin, there
have been remarkable advances promoting the
human rights and participation of women all over
the world.
It is therefore incumbent upon women, Filipinas
included, to come forward and be counted.
This coming forward, should include overcoming
the barrier posed by fear the fear of being not
liked, the fear of making the wrong choice, the fear
of drawing negative attention, the fear of being
judged, the fear of failure and fear of being a bad
mother or wife or daughter, as the PCW puts it.
These are individual fears, however, not exclusive
to women.
The greater fear that women should win is the
fear of effacement and insignificance posed by
cultural practices and societal institutions.
These include, in concrete terms for instance,
the relegation of women to secretarial roles in
organizations or the non-inclusion or use of the 5%
gender and development fund in local budgets.
By taking the helm or fighting for their rights to
participation in decision making, women should
make it known to the world, and to all the Juans out
there, that they are human beings with equal rights
and with the capacity for leadership.
That they are. Ikaw na nga!

this fair?
I also want peace in Mindanao but
I want the government to enter into a
peace agreement with this Moro Islamic
Liberation Front, peace in Mindanao
cannot be fully attained because there is
still the Abu Sayaff, the Jemaia Islamia,
the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom
Fighters, the New Peoples Army, the
ISIS, the Moro National Liberation Front,
and others who will crop-up later.

I have just finished reading the book
Reflections on Martial Law: Saving the
Republic by Rod P. Kapunan, a martial
law detainee. As a senior citizen, I know
some things in this book which my late
father Ambassador Jose T. Fuentebella
told us after he conferred with Pres.
Ferdinand E. Marcos as one of his
political advisers. I did not know many
other things which this book reveals until
the end. It is historically enlightening
said Herman Tiu Laurel, a political critic
and veteran columnist.
Bishop Nilo S. Tayag, D.D., of
Iglesia Filipina Independiente said
the following about this book, Among
Filipino intellectuals, very few are
committed to the search for truth, and
to the defense and pursuit of national
interest with inscrutable passion to
interpret their saga as a nation. Most
events of the past have long been
interpreted by foreign writers to the
detriment of our future generations who
would be content with lies and slurs
against their own people and leaders.
I view the writing of the Ka Rod
Kapunan, especially his most recent
work on martial law as the light at the
end of a tunnel of obscurantism.
On my part, I also recommend the
reading of this book because it is a true
part of our history from the 60s, 70s and
80s written by a writer with no personal
or political interest. His analysis in
weighing the Positive and Negative
Effects of Martial Law is very objective
and enlightening.

The K to 12 Curriculum
in Nabangka National High School
School Year 2015-2016 is the seamless period for the
implementation of K to 12 Curriculum. Seamless means, there
will be no elementary and secondary as we use to call ever
since. Instead a basic education then junior high school before
the senior high school. No need to say first year but Grade 7
to 12.
In Guinayangan District, there are only two national high
that will offer senior high school lucky enough are the people
of Capuluan Central, Guinayangan, Quezon, because parents
will no longer send their children to far barangay just to take
and finish high school.
Aside from that the Nabangka National High School will
create bring a lot of changes in the economic status of the
said barangay. In the pioneer of implementation of the K to 12
Curriculum would seem so hard and difficult to push through but
then positive effect would significantly felt after the pioneering
students get their jobs.
Parents, students and people around the community, please
leave to the implementers hand. They know, it would be a great
help. Goodluck to all incoming senior high school students.

TEA Governance
In Tagalog Region, a unique and best practice in managing a
school was born under the excellent and meritus administration
of a Regional Director who is from San Fernando, Camarines
Sur Sir DADS SAN ANTONIO. Dir. San Antonio as we called
him the Godfather of TEA Governance who gave emphasis on
the true meaning of leader.
For him a school leader should be T-transparent in all his
or her dealings especially in financial matters, E-ethical in
facing all his or her subordinates, colleagues and in all the
people in the community where he or she leads. She must
be Accountable in all the properties that DepEd had turned
over her or his administration. The implementation of TEA
Governance is on its second year.
Its first implementation was celebrated last year in Antipolo
City, its second year was held on February 27 at Bian City,
Laguna. As seen in the various presentation per DepEd
Division office the emphasis was laid on the different orders,
legal basis, problems in the regional office.
The director stressed out how his office find ways to
help teacher by all means. Thus, Director Dads as we say
the director who lives in his name. Dios Dado San Antonio.
Goodluck sir, you are great.
