Aklatang Emilio Aguinaldo THE BOOKSHELF DLSU-D celebrates 100 Years De La Salle University-Dasmariñas joined the other 16 Lasallian schools in celebrating the 100 years of Lasallian presence in the Philippines on June 16. Spearheaded by the Jubilee Office, the DLSU-D centennial event started with a Eucharistic Celebration and a simple opening program at Ugnayang La Salle. Afterwhich, Lasallians enjoyed their lunch with their bare hands in the boodle fight prepared for the community. The food including rice and viands were spread on long tables on top of banana leaves. The activity aims to develop camaraderie among members of the academic community. All librarians actively participated in the said activities. As a fitting tribute to the man behind the centennial celebration, the most awaited comic book on the Life of St. John Baptist de La Salle was finally launched at AEA on July 2. “John” was written by Gerson Garcia of University Lasallian Family Office while images were drawn by veteran illustrator Louie Celerio. Garcia handed over 10 copies of comic book to the library for circulation and preservation purposes. Librarians conduct online training On June 17, AEA Director Sonia Gementiza and Arlene Manzo attended the launching of a series of publications on Lasallian studies held at the Metropolitan Museum of Manila. The publications cover various topics ranging from the establishment of De La Salle in Philippines, collection of poetry and short stories, philosophy, environment, religion, among others. Another event to celebrate the centennial year was the commemoration of the 113th Proclamation of Philippine Independence Day on June 23. Hosted by the Cavite Studies Center (CSC) and Aklatang Emilio Aguinaldo, the flag raising ceremony was led by Br. Gus Boquer FSC and Arch. Francis Gerald Abaya, from the lineage of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo. Former Prime Minister Cesar E. A. Virata, President of Cavite Historical Society delivered the inspirational message while AEA Director Sonia Gementiza guided the audience in reciting the pledge of allegiance to the Philippine Flag. CSC Event Coordinator Aquino Garcia read the Acta de la Independencia del Pueblo Filipino. The invocation was delivered by University Chaplain Rev. Fr. Antonio Perez, Jr. To the delight of the audience, La Salle Filipiniana Dance Company and Symphonic Band perfor med La Jota Caviteña and Pasa Doble, respectively. 2 AEA librarians continue to educate the academic community on how they could maximize the use of online subscriptions of the library. For the months of June and July, a total of 1,021 students or 29 classes and 13 faculty members from the Engineering Department availed of the Hands-On Training (HOT) Program of the library. The program, which was started last school year, aims to promote the online resources of the library including electronic journals and electronic books. The training includes step by step procedures on how to use EBSCOhost, Emerald, Science Direct and Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL) e-books. Likewise, it teaches the participants to create accounts for remote access. Also part of the workshop is familiarization with the different features of the AEA website – the DLSU-D Virtual Resource Center. Based on the evaluation of the participants, most of them found the training very informative. The time, venue and facilities provided were adequate.

It is stationed at the entrance of the library so that the total number of users can be recorded automatically through a log-in system. The database is composed of two modules, the Users’ Login (entrance computer unit) where users scan their ID and the Patron Maintenance Module (Librarian’s computer unit) where Admin Users can add new patron records and update or delete existing ones. Furthermore, the system has the capability to generate different types of library statistical reports such as: Monthly Users by College, Monthly Users by Course, Daily Users by College, and Daily Users by Course. AEA was given a two-month free trial access by EBSCOHost to its new products, EBSCOHost’s A-to-Z, the industry’s most complete web-based tool for organizing and providing links to all of library’s e-resources, including ejournals, titles in full-text databases and e-journal packages, and e-books. A-to-Z offers users a “one-stop” search of our library’s e-collection, with easy navigation to full-text content. E-books and audio books from the EBSCOHost are also available for evaluation by the academic community for possible acquisition. Please visit the Announcement Section of the AEA website at www.dlsud.edu.ph/library to access the said products from Sept. 1 to Nov. 1, 2011.

It blossoms through the year! ” http://www.dlsud.edu.ph/library ~Richard Brainsley Sheridan 5 Aklatang Emilio Aguinaldo THE BOOKSHELF Joaquin, N. (1979). Pop stories for groovy kids: the happiest boy in the world. Manila: Mr. & Ms. Publishing. IRC 2821 The story identifies different human emotions and situations experienced by the little boy named Carlos Principe IV: sadness vs. happiness, wealth vs. poverty, isolation vs. company, arrogance vs. humiliation, etc. The Little Prince, as he is fondly called, was born with a golden spoon because he was fortunate to have rich parents. His experiences are limited to his lavish surroundings and his feelings are solely based on contentment. His apathetic attitudes ended when he was one day transformed into a poor 6 boy. He experienced to be nobody, dirty, neglected, homeless, ignored, and orphaned. Helpless over his plight, he gradually began to see things quite clearly; to be a person is not just pleasing oneself but to be responsible for others, too! The author brings into the consciousness of the readers the situation in the Philippine society; the majority of the rich people who seemed to have a world of their own, mindless of the poor. The greater majority of the Filipinos are poor, subsisting below the poverty line, deprived of social services and human rights due to them. The Little Prince, as representative of the rich people, echoes its apathy to the reality of the present times, the numerous children roaming the streets exposed to the unhealthful conditions detrimental to their young bodies and exposed to the dangers of lurking immoralities. The Little Prince experienced the twist of fate similar to popular teleserye, “Gulong ng Palad,” because from a privileged lad, he became underprivileged; yet this led him to immersing himself into the condition of the poor. The unexpected happening broadened his view of his surroundings and understanding of people. It facilitated redirection of his values, clarified his choices and verified his options. What the Little Prince has undergone is a rare opportunity for an individual at an earliest stage seemed to be guided in processing his experience. Indeed, “one sees clearly only with the heart,” unless one undergoes an experience, his understanding of life remains limited. Experience teaches the minds and moves the hearts toward noble action. [Angelo Pio] http://www.dlsud.edu.ph/library June - July 2011 Aklatang Emilio Aguinaldo THE BOOKSHELF Reyes, J.J. (2005). Kasal, kasali, kasalo. Quezon City: Star Cinema, ABS-CBN Film Productions, Inc. DVD 184 Metro Manila Film Festival winner “Kasal Kasali Kasalo” is clearly a Filipino romantic comedy film. The director astonishingly builds up high caliber story which unravels the truth that marriage life isn’t a “happily ever after.” Most of the scenes portrayed by each character in this film were authentically patterned after a real-life situation. It is an eye-opener film showing the adage that in a Filipino society, one does not marry a beloved partner. One marries a family. Possessing all the elements, this film won an award as Best Picture of the festival plus Cultural Awards as it highlights family values as well as the real complexities of today’s marital relationship. The execution (cinematography, direction, editing, etc.) is much better. On a strictly entertainment level, the film even higher includes realistic dialogues and a lifelike scenario presented in a riotous-dramatic way. What elevates this latest Jose Reyes film even higher are the spectacular performances of the cast: Judy Ann Santos (unbeatable in the festival’s Best Actress competition); Ryan Agoncillo, a natural actor and a welcome new charismatic leading man with great on-screen chemistry with real-life fiancée (Santos); Gina Pareño (festival best supporting actress shoo-in); Ariel Ureta; Gloria Diaz; and Tuesday Vargas. Soliman Cruz, father of Judy Ann, whose role is very short yet so powerful, turns the movie into a real-as-life showcase of an uncivilized but alluring promdi (provincial), a typical Pinoy father. The scene, during the “pamanhikan,” traditional way of giving a courtesy call to the girl’s parents to ask them for her hand in marriage, perfectly depict the real paternal image. Over dinner, conflict begun when the resident patriarch confidently asks the visiting mom the no-no question. Gloria Diaz, former Filipina Miss Universeturned-Urian-winning actress effectively executes her scenes as a source of conflicts for the couple. And now, in Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo, she is a seasoned comedienne who doesn’t try hard but is effective in her scenes. On the other hand, Gina Pareño brings the character of the fishwife mother, also comedic, and an inherent crowdpleaser to life. In fact the storyline centers on the rivalry between two families tied together with the vows of marriage. As they bomb to each other, their absolute differences will provide rockiness in the life of the newly-wed young lovers. June - July 2011 Juliana Palermo is a sexy and pretty woman who commits an emotional affair with Ryan Agoncillo. Her secondary character, particularly in her confrontation scene with the combative Judy Ann, also brought great comedic relief to the film. Her romantic distraction with the couple’s otherwise blissful union adds solid emotion to each scene. The film successfully delivers that marriage is one of the most important Christian Sacraments. Thus, it directly implied that young lovers should consider their emotional, financial, spiritual and physical stability before entering into a serious relationship.

Here’s an excerpt from the Introduction of the Centennial set by Dr. Isagani R. Cruz, Executive Pub., Academic Publications Office –De La Salle University. “The De La Salle University Centennial Publication Series represents some of the areas of learning that have made the DLSU a center of excellence in teaching, research and community ser vice – academic publishing, business, economics, education, engineering, environment, gender studies, health, history, information technology, linguistics, literature, physical sciences, and theology. These publications offer a good picture of the kind of work the university does as a resource for both the Catholic Church and of the Filipino nation. The Centennial Set is a joint project of the Academic Publications Office (APO) of the University and a consortium of the leading publishers (Anvil, C & E Publishing, Central Books Supply, Phoenix Pub., and Vibal Pub.) APO has in place one of the most innovative scholarly publishing ventures in the world–a system where the university solicits and approves academic books and commercial publishers edit, design, print, market and sell the books. This system blends and maximizes the strengths of the university in producing knowledge while the publishing industries act as disseminator of knowledge.” 9. Santos, P.V. & Cordero, K.S (eds.)
