Reminders:

1. We shall use our official GC for announcement and support to the LENS. Please use your
complete name and exact picture in the GC (yung face importanteng makita) 
2. We shall also be using Jit.si as our video conferencing platform because it doesn’t require
you to create an account, you just need to enter the room. I will be providing the room
name later.
3. Learning thru online/distance learning requires self-discipline. You have to give time to it. I
was a product of online education in my doctorate and a professor of online since 2009 (at
SPUP), I know the difficulty of being into it.
4. Please keep updated and be responsible to remind one another. Help Everyone Achieve
Varied Education in the New Normal (Heavenn)
5. We maybe encountering challenges, but let us support one another.

ENJOY LEARNING in this time of Pandemic!

God bless us all. Stay safe, Stay healthy. Keep in good shape. Above all - Keep praying.
