PINAGBABAWAL ang cell phone sa

mga mag-aaral sa oras ng klase
ngunit maraming guro sa mga
pampublikong paaralan ang gu-
magamit ng telepono sa gitna ng kani-
lang pagtuturo. Sila ang mga gurong
kasama sa “Text2Teach” project ng
Department of Education (DepEd).
Layunin ng proyekto ang magamit ng mga
guro ang teknolohiya para sa “higher purpose”
at mabigyang buhay sa klase ang mga sabjek
na math, science at English, paliwanag ni
DepEd Secretary Jesli Lapus.
Ani Lapus, ginagamit ang cell phone upang
magpakita ng “interactive, multimedia educa-
tional videos” na nagpapalalim sa karanasan
ng mga mag-aaral sa loob ng klasrum.
Bahagi ang “Text2Teach” project ng progra-
mang ICT4E (Information Communication
Technology for Education) ng DepEd na gu-
magamit din ng mga laptop na kompyuter at
Internet sa pagtuturo.
Partikular na tinututukan sa proyekto ang
Ika-5 at -6 Baitang, dagdag ni Lapus.
Gamit ang Nokia N95 na telepono na iki-
nakabit sa isang 29-inch TV, ipinalalabas ng
mga guro ang 387 educational video sa math,
science, at English sa klase.

Dyan discovers
health secrets
of wheatgrass
SPORTS Unlimited host and
health buff Dyan Castillejo has
added Easy Pha-Max’s Wheat-
grass to her daily diet.
Castillejo was already joining
swimming competitions as early
as 7 years old. “I came from a
very sports-oriented family. It
was my father who put me into
sports at an early age,” she said.
However, Dyan rose to become
a sports celebrity as a tennis play-
er. She won her first tennis tour-
nament at 12 and went on to win
all the age divisions. In the 80’s
and 90’s, she also joined the Wim-
beldon, the US Open, and other
major tournaments. She played in
five SEA Games and four Asian
Games and was the first Filipino
to earn a world rank from the
World Tennis Association. She was
RP women’s No. 1 for 10 years.
“After sports, I got into differ-
ent health and fitness activities
and became very conscious of
food with nutritional value be-
cause I want to feel strong and
healthy. I take fruits, vegetables
and wheatgrass,” she says.
“A few months ago, my friend
introduced me to Easy Pha-Max,
the exclusive manufacturer and
distributor of Wheatgrass. I just
love the wheatgrass powder be-
cause you can really feel the re-
sults immediately, unlike the
other supplements that takes so
long to give results.”

New kind of castaways

ROMEL M. LALATA, Editor

in ‘Survivor’ 2
L
By Dolly Ann Carvajal
EGIONS of Ilonggos troopped to the auditions of
Survivor Philippines Season 2 held at SM Iloilo.
I was so amused with the whole spectrum of
“characters” who came up with all sorts of gimmicks
to catch the judges’ attention.
“We’re making sure we don’t
get the same kind of castaways
as in the first season,” said Neil
Gumban (program manager).
“Iba dapat ang drama ng con-
tenders in Season 2 so it won’t
seem just like a replay. They
must give us a compelling rea-
son why we should choose
them, aside from their willing-
ness to tackle challenges in a
remote island for 39 days.”
There was a 64-year-old
snake charmer, a rape victim, a
tricycle driver/model, dogwalk-
er/receptionist, single mother,
OFW and even beauty queens
and celebrities who auditioned.
“We were surprised to see an
actor and an actress show up,”
exclaimed Donna Medina (exec-
utive producer). “They were in
disguise as they lined up. No
special treatment for them.
They don’t have an edge
though because this is no
popularity contest.”
GMA-7 is all geared up
to make Survivor’s second
season more exciting
than the first
one. It
gives away the biggest prize in
a reality show—P3 million, tax-
free.
“The challenges will be more
Pinoy,” noted Alex Dionisio
(segment producer). “We now
know which challenges work
and which don’t. We will be
more vigilant with safety mea-
sures.”
Will host Paolo Bediones be
willing to wear trunks to spice
things up in Season 2? “I’d
rather not distract the cast-
aways (laughs),” Pao quipped.
“What I’d like to do is be more
of myself and add a little humor He is pleased with the

character to Makisig Morales’ Pinocchio.

Sige pa rin ang mga top
network sa pag-revive ng
mga foreign telenovela na
naging top raters noon tulad
ng Betty La Fea.
Ngayon, pati yung dating
telenovela na Only You ay
gagawin na rin nila.
Para bang wala na tayong
matatalino at creative na
writers para gumawa ng
mga bagong telenovela.

Sa script ng SNN nung
isang gabi, sinabing “naglu-
luksa raw si Mariel Rod-
riguez sa pag-alis ni Zanjoe
Marudo.”
Nung ipakita naman si
Mariel, nakangiti ito at
natatawa pa.
Sa isa pang script, aban-
gan daw ang pagbubunyag
ni Bea Alonzo at “tiyak na
ikagugulat ninyo.”
Nung lumabas yung in-
terview, wala namang
nakakagulat.
Kaloka.

DOLPHY
He is one of the kindest people
I’ve ever met. Humble, sincere,
never hides anything. And he’s the
first one to approach you pa nga
in public.
Vic Sotto, comedian
He has improved on and pol-
ished what he learned from the
masters. He has captured the
hearts of Filipinos because they
relate to his characters.
Epy Quizon, son
No other comedian in the
world has consistently provided
his audience with humor for six
decades. And he’s still at it. He’s
funny because he knows the lan-
guage of the streets.
9
Eugene Domingo,
comedian
Dolphy is King because he has
done stage, radio, television,
movies. His charm and versatility
are evident in the roles he has
played. My favorites are Jack &
Jill and the classic John en Mar-
sha. Apart from comedy, he also
does drama well. His work in Ang
Tatay Kong Nanay is remarkable.
Bibeth Orteza, biographer
The man was born poor. But he
hasn’t forgotten his roots. He
shaped his comedy from his begin-
nings. He is loved because he
gives love. Small wonder his audi-
ence crowned him King.
Elwood Perez, filmmaker
Dolphy’s humor, in its many in-
carnations from Glory of the
Morning Sunset (Jack & Jill) to
John Puruntong (John en Mar-
sha), has resonated in the Pinoy
spirit for generations. As an artist
and a personality, he has panache
— which those who trailed him
sorely lacked, and which those
who are now at the forefront of
the medium would do well to em-
ulate.
Zsazsa Padilla, partner
I performed with him during
the Dolphy@80 World Tour last
year. People all over the globe
adore him! They find him funny
because he is your typical Pinoy.
You see in his characters some-
one you know—your dad, broth-
er, neighbor, husband or friend.
I am forever grateful to be part
of this extraordinarily gifted
man’s life and to be his partner
for life.
