From its simple beginnings in 1968, NCBA had
reached its 48th year with the
theme: Ready for the New
Horizon in Education with
2015 ASEAN Economic Integration.
NCBA Taytay campus
observed this three-day affair,
starting with a Holy Mass,
thanking the Lord for another
year of achievement and for
guidance for the years to
come.
One of the highlights of
the occasion was the recognition of the teaching and nonteaching personnel for their
dedication and loyalty to the
institution.
The HRM Students organized cooking contests
wherein teachers and
non-teaching personnel
showed off their talent
in cooking, while the
students cheered for
their respective bet.
Another highlight
of the occasion was the
Cultural Dance Festival
which featured the talent of the different departments in presenting
cultural dances from the
respective ASEAN member countries. Each department
showed guts and confidence in
representing their assigned
ASEAN cultural dance. In the end
the BSA, representing Myanmar,
and the BSBA representing Vietnam, emerged victorious. These
two departments representated
the NCBA Taytay Campus at the
grand finals held at

Google
By Daniel A. Flores
On the 30th of January
2015, the National College of
Business and Arts conducted its
end-user training with Google in
cooperation with IP Convergence
Data Services Inc. The objective
of this training is to unfold the
different features of Google and
its application to the students,
teaching and non-teaching personnel. Google applications like
Google Docs, Sheets, Slides,
Drive, Forms, Hangouts etc.,
would be a big help to the students in doing their Group projects, homework and many
more, not only to the students
but also the teachers in computing the grades. The said applications is also helpful in applying
technology in class.
Google Apps End-User
Training is a training and seminar
where in students and teachers
will learn how to use the different
applications of Google not only
the use of the said app but also
its wide features and different
capabilities.
At the start
of the training, the
instructor asked to
fill up some personal information
for them to be able
to Log in their account. The flow of
the training was in
accordance to the
list of application
that
would
be
showed during that
day and the duration depends on
the
instructor.
Each students and
professors
was
provided with their
customized email address that
would be used throughout and
after the training. The training
session is divided into groups
wherein students as well as the
professors will interact with each
other in the different activities
provided by the instructor. The
attendees
were
asked if they were
familiar with the
different kinds of
Google
applications, if they are
already using it
and if they already know everything about it.
After some discussion about the
features of Gmail
and other applications they have to
answer
some
questions
made
with the use of
Google Forms which is very useful in creating online quizzes in
which the scores are automatically counted by a third party application supported by Google
Sheets. For the training to become more interesting and excit-
ing, the person who got the highest score on that quiz will receive
freebies from Google.
The students will have to
work in teams and communicate
with each others to complete a
certain activities. As an example
ithe students were asked to create short information about their
organization with the use of
Google Docs wherein the document is shared online to the
members and anyone who input
certain information, that information will be seen by the other
members and each member is
identified by a certain color of
cursors. This feature of Google
Docs is a very convenient way to
overcome the remoteness of the
members especially in making

Ang mga linyang ito ang
isa sa mga naging inspirasyon ko
para magsulat. Sa totoo lang
hindi pagsusulat ang hilig ko
noon kundi pagbabasa dahil para
sa akin sa bawat librong binabasa ko ako ay nagiging parte ng
kwento at dinadala ako nito sa
iba’t-ibang lugar pantasya man o
realidad. Dahil sa hilig kong ito
namulat ako sa mundo ng pagsusulat, napansin ko na ang mga
librong nabasa ko na ay punongpuno ng emosyon.
Nagsimula akong sumulat
noong nasa elementarya pa
lamang ako. Noong una hirap
ako sa pagsulat dahil hindi ko pa
gaanong alam ang tamang pagsulat na isang makatang sining.
Nagsulat ako para sa aking mga
kamag-aral, minsan para sa mga
taong nagugustuhan ko.
Habang sumusulat ako
ibang saya ang nararamdaman
ko, nagiging magaan ang loob
ko na parang pagsusulat na
l am an g
an g
bu hay
ko.
Pinagpatuloy ko ang pagsusulat
hanggang sa napansin ako ng
aking guro at isinali ako sa pahayagan ng aming paaralan,
natuwa ako ng panahon na
iyon pangarap ko rin na
mailathala ang aking mga gawa
kahit isa man lang sa aking
mga isinulat. Maraming nagsabi
sa akin na ang seryoso ko sa
pagsusulat, na dapat ay naglalaro na lamang daw ako pero
hindi ko sila binigyang pansin.
Nagpatuloy ang aking
paglalakbay sa mundo ng pagsusulat. Noong ako ay nasa
sekundarya, at dahil bago lang
ako sa paaralang pinasukan ay
natigil ako sa pagsusulat ng
mga lathalain ngunit napunta
naman ako sa pagsusulat ng

at

Maraming tao ang nagustuhan
ang aking mga obra sabi nila
puno-punong ng emosyon parang nangyari lahat sa totoong
buhay. Totoo naman talaga lahat ng sinusulat ko, simula
nang pumasok ako sa sekundarya marami nang mga nangyari sa buhay ko maging sa

pamilya man, sa pag-aaral, at
higit s lahat sa sarili ko.
Nakaranas ako noon ng
depresyon dahil sa mga nangyari
sa akin, tanging sa pagsulat ko
lamang nailabas lahat ng aking
mga saloobin masaya man o malungkot. Pagsusulat ang naging
sandigan ko, ang naging takbuhan
para mataksan ang lahat ng nararamdaman kong kalungkutan.
Habang nararanasan ko
ang lahat na iyon nagbalik ako sa
pagsusulat ng balita at naging
miyembro ng pahayagang “The
Paddler” at “Ang Nuno”. Lumaban
na rin ako sa mga kompetisyon sa
aming paaralan. Doon na rin ako
natutong mag-copy reading at
sumulat ng feature article.
Nagpapasalamat ako dahil lalong
nadagdagan ang aking kaalaman.

MUSIC:
The world’s new language
By Charmaine Bandola
What is music? They say
there are many definitions of
music. But most of us say “I
know it when I hear it”. Music
is one way of expressing our
feelings; in short this is our
new “language”.
Music affects our soul by
its melodic harmony and catchy
words. It helps us to feel relaxed and comfortable when we
situation. We escape reality by
plugging our earphones and listen to our favorite songs.

THE HAPPINESS AND
SORROW OF THE
WORLD

Sinundan… EDITORYAL
Naging miyembro din ako ng
“The Petroglyphs”ng URSAngono bilang Feature Writer at
Literary Editor. Umatend ng
mga seminar ukol sa pagsusulat
kahit hindi Journalism ang major ko. Masaya ako sa ginagawa
ko kahit minsan sumusuko na
ang katawan ko sa hirap ng mga
pagsasanay at sa walang
humpay na puyatan matapos
lamang ang isang lathalain.
Tama bang sabihin kong
isa na akong manunulat, wala
man lang akong nalimbag na
libro o kaya isang akdang sumikat sa buong mundo. Ang tanging alam ko lamang ay sa oras
na may mga ideyang pumasok
sa utak ko kailangan ko nang
humawak ng lapis at papel. Anu
nga ba ang isang tunay na manunulat? Dapat ba akong gumaya kina Jose Rizal, Bob Ong o
kaya kay Jose Garcia Villa para
lang ituring na isang manunulat?
Ngayon, hindi ko alam
kung bakit ko napili ang magsulat sa editorial na ito dahil
hindi ko naman forte ito. Sa
aking palagay hindi ito bibigyang
pansin ng mga magbabasa Sino
nga bang may pakialam kung
magsulat ako ng magsulat? Wala
rin namang magbabago sa mundo kahit na magsulat ako, mayroon pa rin giyera sa Middle East,
may Global Warming at mayroon
pa rin namang korupsyon dito sa
bansa natin.
Ang tangi kong hiling sa
makakabasa nito ay sana may
matutunan ka sa mga pinagsasabi ko kung wala naman humihingi
na ko ng paumanhin dahil hindi
pa ako ganoon kagaling magsulat
at sana kahit papaano may isang
tao manlang ang maging inspired
sa ginawa kong ito kahit isa lang
talaga masaya na ako na may
kinapuntahan ang pinagsusulat
ko dito.
Inaamin kong marami
akong kahinaan pagdating sa
pagsusulat, minsan baluktot ako
mag-English, minsan naman hindi tugma ang mga ideya ko sa
pagsusulat o kaya walang kabuluhan talaga ang sinulat ko.
Pero ito na talaga ako, minahal
ko ang pagsusulat higit pa sa
sarili ko. Hindi man ako kasing
galling ng ibang manunulat alam
This “new language” of ours help
us to express our love for someone; we write songs and really
decipher what we feel towards
someone. It is also through music
that we express our ideas about
politics, nature, society, etc.
Music boosts our confidence, guts
and talent and, at times, we share
to other people
Indeed, music is the
soundtrack of our life, different
genres, styles, sounds, lyrics, etc.
but it represents our inner soul.
Even though we have different
cultures, we are connected by one
language which is music.

Pahabol pa pala sa mga

pagsusulat ang payo ko sa inyo
huwag kayong titigil sa pagsusulat ng mga ideya nyo kahit
hindi man kayo sumikat o maging ganap na manunulat na may
akdang libro, naibahagi ninyo
ang inyong saloobin sa iba’tibang klase ng tao. Kahit
maraming magiging kritiko ng
gawa nyo tanggapin nyo lang
lahat ng sasabihin nila tungkol sa
gawa nyo dahil sa totoo lang

World Teachers Day
Invest in the Future,
Invest in Teachers is the
theme on this year's World
Teacher's Day.
"Teachers are an investment for the future of
countries", according to the
UN's educational organization, UNESCO.
The National College
of Business and Arts celebrated World Teacher’s Day with
the theme of “Invest in the
Future, Invest in Teachers”
last October 10, 2014 held at
the school gym.
This celebration focused on the importance of
our Teachers, how they
change our lives and inspired
us
to
reach
our
dreams. Teachers are
one of the most important
investment
that
our
country
needs. They help us in
choosing the right path
and guide us in making decisions in our
life.
The
learning
never stops even after
graduation. Learning is a continuous
process, even if a child is not inside the
classroom, the child continues to learn
through different experiences and situations.
There's a saying that "Experience is the
best Teacher", yes, we can say that.
But learning through experience could
be harsh at times: even traumatic.
Learning with our teacher makes it
more enjoyable and worthwhile.

K-12 Seminar
The Educators and Communicators Society conducted a
seminar about the K-12 Program last August 11, 2014
held at the Mini Theater.
The aim of the seminar was to enlighten the
minds of future educators
about the said program. The
resource speaker was Dr.
Avelino De Chavez, College
Dean along with Dr. Noel F.
Antijendra, E.C.S. Adviser
and Mrs. Imelda Relleve,
Area Chairperson of Liberal
Arts and Education Department.
Dr. De Chavez started the
seminar by explaining what is R.
A. 10533 (Enhance Basic Education Act of 2013) approved by
Pres. Aquino, Sen. Enrile, and
Cong. Belmonte. He said that the
K-12 curriculum is a curriculum
that is inquiry-based, learner
centered, and
has a spiral
progression
approach. He
also stated the
six strands of
K-12 Curriculum which are
the following:
S
T
E
M
(Science,
Technology,
Engineering,
and
Mathematics), HSF (Humanities, Social
Sciences, and Fine Arts), ABM
(Accountancy, Business, and
Management, Sports, Technical
Vocations, and the last is General Academic Track. He men-
tioned that NCBA offers ABM and
General Academic Tracks to the
upcoming Senior High School Students.
He emphasized the importance of the said curriculum to
our educational system, that the
curriculum is culture sensitive,
can develop highly competent individuals
equipped
with
knowledge, skills, and manners to
compete with the global trends.
The impact of this program to us future educators is
that we can prepare ourselves for
the coming transitions and also to
get ready for the challenges that
we will encounter once we enter
the field of teaching and also to
inform others about the program.

In school, it’s a habit of
students to give names to their
professors and try to judge them
without really knowing them. They
do this because they heard a rumor or they just don’t want that
particular professor. Some of these
professors stood out from others,
some are just fine but some are
just merely recognized even with
the contributions they made. These
people are the “Underdogs”.
The Terror– Some professors are thought by plenty of students to be “Terror.” If you’re new
to the school and you heard rumors about a particular professor
College Life
Almost half of our lives we’ve
been studying. From elementary to
high school and before you know it,
you’re in college. Some would say
that high school is the happiest time
but some would say that in college,
the real life starts.
Being a freshman in college
is a little bit hard. You adjust yourself
to new environment, try to mingle
and make friends with strangers; you
try to be liked by everyone and stay
out of trouble as much as possible. As
a freshman in college, you need to
choose your course. Choosing a
course in college is one of the happiest things that you can do. You have
so many choices; all courses differ
from one another. Choosing can be
confusing. There are instances one
just knows from the start what course
to take. The world is your oyster! The
course you chose will set you to be in
your future life.
College is a time for experimentation and growth, making a few
mistakes is a part of that process. No
one is perfect. We make mistakes on
a daily basis. Some mistakes could
affect our studies but you have to
to be a terror, of course you’ll be
terrified and believe them even without the facts because you’re new.
The students will automatically judge
that professor without even knowing
them. Those said “Terror Professor”
might not even be what they are described. They maybe just professors
who are very concerned with the
grades of their students and they put
on a scary face just so the students
will take him or her seriously during
class. They put in a different persona
because they want their students to
learn. They want to push their students to achieve things. Behind their
persona lies a concerned, warmhearted professor. In this kind of situation the rule “Don’t judge the book
by its cover” really fits.
get mad often. They don’t fail students. Sometimes, they are not
appreciated by their students. This
kind of situation results to students
thinking that whatever they do, the
professor won’t mind. This puts the
“Too Kind Professor” in to too
much pressure. They try to think of
possible ways to make the students think of them differently.
They try to be a little strict. They
try to change their method so the
students will take them seriously
but they can’t because students
are used to them already. They are
being taken advantaged by their
students. But even so, these professors deliver what they need to
deliver. They give the students the
knowledge they need to get.
The Too Kind– Some of the
professors are too kind. They don’t

keep in mind that you’re studying for
a reason. You want to reach your
dreams.
At some point of your college
life you’ll feel like “ I don’t want to
study anymore. “I’m tired.” It’s normal for college student to feel that
way. When you’re too tired, you want
to stop. Some stop for a while, some
stop because they have other issues,
some stop for good but others, they
go all the way. They don’t let problems or people around them affect
their studies because they have a
goal to finish. They have perspectives. They have dreams. But why do
students feel like they want to stop all
of a sudden? Is the course that they
pursue too hard? Too many projects?
Too much pressure? Financial problems? Family problems? Love life
maybe? Or just want some space and
a time off? Many factors can affect
student’s studies. Some just can’t
bear with it but many cope because
they want to finish. Some shift to another course if they don’t “feel” their
first choice. They want to find their
true passion.
In high school, your
friends are your classmates but in
college, you’ll meet a bunch of
people with different personalities. Some can be your best
friend whom you share a laugh or
two or someone you would tell
about your problems, but some
can be the one you despise the
most. You can also meet your
better half in college, the one you
think as “The Right One” or the
“Marrying Kind”. But make sure
that you’re decision is not yet final because you can still meet
other people outside your college
life or if you’re sure enough,
make sure that you finish your
studies first before “tying the
knot” with someone.
The happiest moment in
college is your graduation. When
you step on that stage, handing
you your diploma; such gives a
feeling like no other. It’s like you
feel a rush of adrenaline in your
body while having a feeling of
butterflies in your stomach.

Lumaki akong naniwalang
sagrado ang pag-ibig tulad ng
mga nabasa kong istorya, na sa
huli nagkakatuluyan ang dalawang
taong nagmamahalan at nabubuhay sila nang maligaya. Pero
nabago ang lahat nung makilala
ko siya. Siya yung taong mabait,
siya yung taong laging nandiyan
para sa akin, siya yung taong lahat gagawin para sa akin, at siya
yung taong sinaktan ako ng sobra.
Yung akala mong kayo na
hanggang huli, yung pagmamahalan niyo tatagal ng walang hanggan
na tulad sa mga istoryang pambata. Hindi totoo ang lahat nang
iyon, lahat ng pinakita niya ay kasinungalingan, kasinungalingang
pinaniwalaan ko na sa huli ay siyang mananakit sa akin. Naniwala
akong ako lang ang mahal niya
hindi pala mayroon pang iba, nalaman ko na lang wala na pala siya
sa tabi ko kundi nasa tabi na ng iba

Have you ever read your name in a
love confession, hate confession or in a shout
out? And have you ever had the urge to tell a
story but too shy to reveal yourself?
Originating from universities in Manila,
a page for these kinds of confessions was
made. While other local universities adapt the
page's purpose, to help the confessors release the emotion or feelings they long to express, NCBA is not an exemption.
NCBA Confessions was created on
September 17, 2014. Two students of NCBA
Taytay, who were sitting at the lobby around
4:00 in the afternoon and were observing
other students, thought of creating a page
with the motive to let them express their
opinion and tell their stories or feelings by the
use of "social media". According to one of the
Administrators of the page, they didn't know
that NCBA Secret Files was already established by then. At first, they just thought of
creating a "freedom wall" not a page for this
matter. But because they were just mere
students, they didn't have the power to
suggest such. So, they came up with this
instead.
at kaibigan ko pa, ang kaibigan
kong alam ang lahat sa amin, ang
kaibigan kong tinatakbuhan ko kapag may away kami, ay ang kaibigan kong umagaw sa taong mahal
ko. Nung araw na yun na nalaman
ko ang lahat, namatay ang isang
parte ng puso ko, namatay ang
dating ako……..ay mali! Pinatay nila
ako, sila ang may sala kung bakit
ako naging ganito, ang taong ayaw
maniwala sa pag-ibig.
Another highlight of the occasion was the
Battle of the Bands, which featured the students to
perform live with the guest bands: Callalily, Gracenote, and Banda ni Kleggy. Undoubtedly, this kind
of event featured the students who are truly gutsy,
talented, and capable to provide entertainment for
the entire NCBA community. The front act were the
bands that compete for the B.O.B., the guest bands
performed right after. The live performances were
really impressive. They also invited the crowd to
join them. Some students went up to the stage to
take a picture with them especially with the Lead
Vocalist of Callalily, Kean Cipriano. It was an energetic and awesome party that NCBA students really
enjoyed.
Thank you NCBA for organizing this kind of
event wherein students would able to showcase
their talent and share to the entire community. All
students were also enjoyed and amazed. It was
truly an unforgettable and amazing experience for
NCBA students.
Everything is a mystery; from the confessor to
the administrators. But one thing is for sure, NCBA
Confessions will last for a long time.

The stars hiding in the sky
So I can promise my forever.

This night, I solemnly pray
You have that one thing
Please cast it away

expressing love, gratitude, and care towards other people. And this was made
possible last December 19, 2014 with the
whole JPIA community who are gratefully
extending their helping hands to the less
fortunate children of Senden Home Foundation Inc. It is a place for homeless boys
located at the heart of Pantok, Binangonan, Rizal.

ers and Mr. Kalven Perry Agustin (professor)
With the help of professors, students, and
parents, the event was a success. Each kid receives
a set of school supplies, toiletries, toys, and more.
Food stuffs and medicines were also given to the
orphanage.
This gift giving program was one of the projects of the JPIA community of NCBA Taytay. .

are no schools without a

You’re halfway through reaching your dreams!
Some say that college is where the real life
starts. It’s not. The real life starts after graduating. You embark on the real deals of life. It’s
new journey and you’re the captain. It’s different from the world you’re used to. In school,
you depend on one another. In the outside
world, you depend on yourself. Use what you
learn in school. Use it to reach your dreams.
School is merely a stepping stone towards real
life. Now, you’re out. The world is your oyster.

THE NEW HORIZON
"A Bite to a Healthy Lifestyle"
By Jasper Amie A. Manaloto
As the month of July comes to
an end, the HRM Department celebrated the National Nutrition Month. With
the help of our alumni, especially Mr.
Harley David Blanc as our guest emcee, we celebrated this month with a
workshop, "A Bite to a Healthy Lifestyle." The HRM department opened
four stations in this workshop event.
We had baking, cooking, painting and
drawing, and also fruit and vegetable
carving. The students were encouraged to pick where they would be willing to join a couple of days ahead before the event.
The HRM society officers really worked hard for this event, hoping
that it would be successful. They
worked day and night to prepare the
school lobby and must have it ready
before July 30th. Officers spent lots of
hours and energy to prepare the program, as well as goods (t-shirts, pins,
etc) for the participants.
With the high hopes of the Society officers and faculty members for
Farewell Dear Sir
Along the hallways, he projects
a smile, a nod. Most often, he would
be the first to greet. His eyes are expressively calm.
Mild-mannered yet
feisty regarding principles. A loving
husband and father, the gentle Dr.
Wilfredo C. Kho or Sir Kho to the NCBA
community, is well-loved by his peers
and students. His patience to explain
lessons, answer queries, and be a second father to the students are very
admirable. His feisty side is also worth
reminiscing.
Once he knows he’s
right, he never backs down nor shy
away. Well, I learned that the hard
way. Nope, I’m not going to elaborate
on that. This is what I remembered
most from the “gentle teacher”; he
told me (after he gave advise to some
the participants to enjoy the
event, a lot of students found the
event boring and disappointed
with the things they’ve got as a
souvenir. A student told me that
they were disappointed with the t
-shirts that they have because
the design is not in uniform and
not the size that they ordered.
From my point of view about this
feedback, I can tell that they
were hoping for a better result
like everyone else. However, they
think of the busy schedule that
the officers had while making this
event a success?
Some of the HRM students still prefer the yearly competition of Baking and Cooking
Contest, wherein each level have
a group of representatives pitted
against each other to enhance
their skills and experience of being in a competition. A lot of
HRM students were expecting the
competition this year from joining
for the first time (freshmen) and
of his students along the staircase), and I quote: “sayang ang
panahon, why don’t they grab
the opportunity now habang kaya
pa ng magulang nila pag-aralin
sila?” I stopped. It was a rarity to
talk with him, on my part, that is.
Maybe out of concern, he needed
to express what he felt. I answered that most these kids have
the means; I said “Pero tama po
kayo, di nila maibabalik yung
nasasayang na panahon at kakayahan ng magulang nila”. He left.
We have heard Sir Kho give advices and seen his support for the
sake of his students, as well as
the community. I wish that we
have learned from his lessons as
well as the values he shared. And
yes, why don’t we seize the day;
the opportunities given us?
trying to do better than last year
(higher years). A lot of HRM students
enjoy this kind of event even though
not everyone is in the competition.
We enjoy having a chance to show
the skills we have learned and to
cheer for our friends, having a great
time.
Yes, there are students of
the HRM Department who said it was
boring, but some did have a lot of
fun. Messing around and joking with
Mr. Roland Dicimulacion at the baking section was an example; from
slurping chocolate syrup, trying to
make our own plating designs, and
making some cookies. Some even
thought this event was more for the
freshmen than the other year levels
because it was an introduction for
them. Others say they could've
made it more fun and enjoyable.
All in all, I can say that this
event wasn't really a waste of time
and/or money. Yes, a few found it
boring, but for others, it was as an
enjoyable day off from class. We
can't wait for what they are planning
for next year's Nutrition Month Celebration.
The NCBA community lost a fine educator; his family lost a loving husband and father, his constituents lost
a compassionate public servant.
Heaven got back the angel it sent.
Farewell dear Sir. You will surely be
missed.

Earthquake Drill ‘15
By Frances Anne De Guzman
―Safety is something that
happens between your ears and
not in your hands‖ — Jeff Cooper
Last August 6, at around 9:15
in the morning, NCBA held its annual
earthquake drill which was performed
by all the students, together with the
teaching and non-teaching personnel,
with assistance from the local government.
Yearly, NCBA is conducting
the said drill to ensure the capability
of the teachers in handling their class
in times of calamity, as well as to
keep the students aware of what to
do when disaster strikes.
This year is very different!
School personnel and officials became so busy in preparation, working
so hard for the success of the activity
especially Sir Jose Maria Tueres, who
is the Officer for Students’ Affairs,
and Sir Joeven Montealegre,
the
Building and Ground Supervisor.
They both arranged the guidelines
that professors must follow to keep
their attending class’ safety, designate the right evacuation sites, delegate the tasks to each of the teaching
and non-teaching staff, instruct each
team the norms of their tasks, and,
of course, coordinate with the persons-in-authority within barangay
San Juan, the school actually is located.
Prior to the said activity, Sir
Tueres and Sir Montealegre worked
hand-in-hand to accomplish the
guidelines that must be foreseen
while under a fortuitous situation.
They set rules and implementations
that every staff and student within
the school premises should know.
One of the major rules that a teacher
must follow is to assure that no one
from his/her class would be left behind since he/she must be the very
last person to come out of the room
to make sure that the students are
grouped. Teachers must also assist
their class on the way out of the
building. Both professors and students must walk as fast as they
could to get out of the infrastructure because of the possibility that
an aftershock would happen and
debris might fall. And lastly, no unnecessary actions should be done
to avoid the delay of the evacuation. Professors must instruct the
students to do the drop, cover, and
hold frequently, as needed, even in
their respective evacuation sites.
Of course, the said activity
cannot be made possible if the
teaching and non-teaching staff
were not knowledgeable about the
plan. That’s why they conduct
meetings and seminars to inform
them on how they would act during
the activity as if it was real. They
also specified the roles of each
team, namely; Evacuation Team,
First Aid Team, Site Security Team,
Rescue Team, and the like. They
further classified the tasks that
each team must do in order to
make the drill realistic.
And most importantly, the
drill was coordinated under the supervision of the local government.
The school invited a fire bureau
representative, a rescuer, a police
from Philippine National Police, and
barangay representatives. They
observed and instructed the school’s
disaster team on
how to rescue and
save the lives of the
students.
The
NCBA
community participated in the drill,
perceived the activity to be true and
realistic. The first
long bell rang while
the students were
all having their classes.
They,
of
course, were all startled about what
was happening. Then their professors instructed their students to
Drop (to kneel on the floor while
bowing their heads), Cover (to put
their hands on their head), and
Hold (to hold on to something that
will keep them from moving). After
the first bell, they walked as fast as
they can with a book placed over
their heads while going to their
designated evacuation place while
the Site Security Team and Evacuation Team must move guarding the
students and pointing the way to
their “site”. Perceiving that an aftershock may happen, the students
and teachers did the drop, cover,
and hold again but this time, in
their evacuation sites. After the
third bell, there were teachers who
reported students missing. In this
situation, the rescue team moved
in to find the missing persons.
After a while, the missing
students were seen and “treated”
by the first aid team.
The earthquake drill would
not be possible if the personnel and
students did not follow instructions.
Truly, accidents could be minimized
if, and only if, we know how to
abide directions; if we know how to
follow rules. Therefore, all we need
to do is to work hand-in-hand towards the goal of saving each other’s lives.
Sports Beyond Horizon
Intramurals
By Lorelie R. Cenina
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!
The college Intramurals never fail
to pack the school’s gymnasium to the limit , what with all the excitement and thrill!
It was held last December 19-20, where
students, teachers, and parents gathered to
support and cheer for their respective
teams. Together with Mr. Jose Maria Tueres, OSA Director, along with the members
of the faculty, the competition opened with
a bang!
The crowd cheered as the muses
walked confidently around the gym “armed”
with their stunning beauty and admirable
guts. First was from the BSBA, Angelica
Ramos, who caught the attention of the
crowd with her grand entrance and showed
her radiance as she walked gracefully in
front of the audience. Next was Mary Catrin
Ann Joson of BSA, who enthusiastically
showed her beauty that made the crowd go
wild. Kristel Ann Crisostomo of BSCS
amazed the audience by her simplicity and
gracefulness. It was Mikee Torres’ of
BSHRM time to flaunt her beauty in front of
the audience as she walked confidently.
Last but not the least was Geraline Esparas
of LA/Educ.; a stunning “morena”, as she
rocked the ramp to the crowd’s gusto. She
ended up bagging the title “Ms. Intramurals
2015”.
Next was the cheering competition. This electrified the crowd to go wild as
the different courses showcased their talent
in cheering. This competition showed the
creative side of each department; how they
came up with the fascinating dance moves
and brilliant stunts. Every department really shed “blood, sweat, and tears” for that
cheering competition.
First to show their talent, the Liberal Arts Department did a very astonishing
performance even though they are out
numbered by the other departments as
they gave an aggressively distinct performance. The next one was the BSA cheerers , showing indomitable synchronization
that turned heads and caught the attention
of the viewers. After that, the HRM Dept.
showed off their power that also caught the
attention of the viewers as well as the judges. The last was the Business Administration Department that shocked the crowd
with their aggressive shout-outs and astonishing genre of routines that made the competition very exciting. The intramurals was
a blast!
