Interview Article

"Sir Coach !"

        I had a great time when I gathered an interview with Mr. Joemicco Salomon. He is a P.E instructor in La Verdad Christian College Caloocan. He is 31 years of age, he share about his personal background. He said that, he likes those people who are willing to obey on what he command and can follow his rules. He didn't like those people who violate his rules.His motto in life,"I will graduate on time no matter how long".

        In his free time,,he loves to watch different movies and play computer games  that can relieve his stress, he also like strolling at the mall. We also talked about his educational background, in his college time, he enter at U.E he took one and a half year in that school, taking up engineering course but he decided to stop his studies because of financial problem. He work with his father as a laborer, he didn't received any amount in his job, but he got some, for his own expenses. He save his money because he want to enroll in PNU, his parents didn't know about that, by June he told to his father that he will going to school, his father wondered how will he come to school, he told that he already enrolled so his father let him. In weekends he still work with his father. He also share that, in 2001-2009 he was in college, it took so long because he is a working student and he also went to Arnis training, he just took minimum subjects or five to six subjects and by the help of God he finished his studies.

       We also talked about his achievements, he share that his first achievement in education was by the time that he was in elementary, he got an award the in high school he was the "Cadet of the year". In his college times he was an officer in ROTC and he got a "Loyalty award". When he was in PNU, the very first medal that he received in Arnis competition was a silver medal, he always got a silver or bronze medal in every competition, he never loose in elimination, he got loose in championship. One time he join the competition, 80 athletes join and his opponent was from the Ateneo and with the help of God he was the champion. He keep on joining in every Arnis competition, he also join in "World competition", and that was the time that he was known by the athletes and Arnis officers. They offer Mr. Joemicco as a police or a leader, but Sir Joms felt that teaching was his desire so he reject those offers. After he was graduated in college he was a crew in Shell gasoline station in one year he was a team leader until one time, Ma'am Shiela ask him to be an instructor in La Verdad Christian College Caloocan, so he dare to resign in Shell gasoline station, but his manager didn't let him because he was very good team leader. So he work at the Shell gasoline station and at the same time, he also teach in La Verdad Christian College. 

     He also encounter failures like when he loose the game in Arnis competition and when the time that he can't buy the things that he wants because he don't have much money to afford. I ask him how he overcome those failures, he said that he gave more patience in that situation and wait for the right time that he can afford those things for himself. The worst thing happened to him is when his father got mad at him in front of many people.He overcome those failures by perseverance and determination to achieved his goals.He also said that we need self-discipline in managing our time.

     He also share about his future plans; first, he want to have the things he can't afford before. Next, is to finished his masteral and last is to stay strong in serving God. He also give an advice as a professor, he said that keep on moving, keep on striving for your goals and don't waste the opportunity that you have right now to finish your studies.

     The best thing that happen to him is when the time that he knew the truth. It was also a key for him to strive in his goals and keep on serving God in his entire life. Sir Joms  is a model to all students, because with all his experiences he still achieved his goals. It's not true that if you are poor, you can't achieved anything.If you have a will or determination you will achieved your goals.

DEAR KUYA ...

Bro. Eli Soriano

Bro. Daniel And Bro. Eli

            Dear Kuya is a program hosted by Bro. Daniel Razon also known as "Mr. public service". Dear Kuya is now airing on UNTV Radio La Verdad 1350 kHz.
       
           It is launched last January 14, 2013, this program is a kind of resolving problems of different people, common problems about their lives, relationships, health and more. It is giving an advice. The letter sender's story was narrate by Bro. Daniel Razon and it seems an actual because of some students in La Verdad Caloocan dramatized the story.
     
         Bro. Eli Soriano is the one who gave an advice with biblical insights. through dramatization, it allows the listener to use their imaginations, unlike television, both audio and video are provided, it leave nothing left for the viewers to imgine.

        Dear Kuya is much different in other radio program. We are thankful to our God for this kind of blessing to our leaders, through them, many people was enlightened.

        I keep on praying for the continuous  progress of this program.

ART MONTH! (photo exhibit)

       We gather a photo exhibit last semester 2012. We have three kinds of theme, for Mct-11 their theme is a "false perspective", for Mct-12 our theme is "nature" for Mct-13 their theme is "city landscape".

         Mct-12 is my section, we went at UP campus to take a photo of nature. during the photo shoot, we experience a lot, it test our patience especially in time, it also test our determination just to have a photo of nature.

        Photo Exhibit is an activity for Humanities, with that experience, we appreciate the nature, in simple flower or a ray of sunlight. It's very nice to see that we still have that wonderful nature. Usually we see nature only in our province , we must be thankful that even in city, we still have that nature.

      We must take care of it so that it will last long and appreciate it because it's God creation.

'here are some of photos we take..

WHY AM I HERE IN LVCC?

      I'm so thankful to God, because of this kind of blessing. He choose me to be part of this school and be a scholar. I know I do not deserve but because of His grace, He choose me to have this scholarship.
   
     I believe that God has a purpose for me that's why He place me in La Verdad Christian College, I think It's not an accident, I'm here because of His will.
   
      I'm here not only to write down all the lessons, i'm here to make myself better than before, not only to gain knowledge but to use that knowledge for making things right. not only to broadcast to the public that I am a scholar, but to hold the title that i am a Christian scholar. It's not all about the grades, it's also about the character.

    I'm here to prove to everyone that even if I don't have much money to afford their tuition fee, I can have a knowledge with a high quality and because of this,all I want to say is to God be the glory ! :-)
