No.
No.

Sa pagtudlo sa teacher didto kay okay ra man nang 1 165 21-29

iyang patudlo kay dili.. dili kagaya diri nga ano, nang
one day lang ang isa ka-subject. Ay, isa ka-lesson.
Didto kaabot ang isa ka-lesson siguro kay isa ka-week.
(The way the teacher teaches their Student is fine,
unlike here that a lesson should be taught in a day. In
my school, one less on would take a week to teach.)

So, ano, nang dili dinalian didto. Dili kagaya diri nga 1 165 35-40
isa ka-day, mura’g duha ka-lesson ang matudlo. (On
my former school, we don’t need to hasten our
pace, unlike here that there are seemingly two lessons
that can be taught in a day.)

Ang uban nga teacher nga pwede uh dili ko mahadlok 1 165 51-57
nga mu-approach sa ilaha. Pero sa uban, mahadlok
ko. Dili kagaya diri nga halos tanan nga teacher
mura’g mahadlok ko. (There are teachers that I won’t
be afraid to approach them, but there are some that
makes me afraid. Unlike here that I am likely to be
scared to almost every teacher.)

Pero ang subject lang gyud nga.. na lisudan ko didto 1 166 63-66
kay, katong grade 10, kay Math lang gyud. Math. (But
the subject that I was having a hard time to deal with
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 79

when I was in 10th grade is Math.)

Pero panagsa kung naa’y mga invitation, mafocus ko 2 166 21-26
ani sa special.. sa program.. ay, sa among
extra-curricular. (But sometimes, if there are
invitations, I am focusing on the special.. on the
program. I mean, on our extra-curricular.)
Strikto ug.. busy man pud sila paminsan. (They are 2 178 49-50
strict.. and sometimes, they are just busy.)
No’ng time na hirap na hirap kami sa isang subject, 3 184 19-24
kailangan talaga magsikap para macope up namin
‘yong mga lessons na ginabigay sa amin ng teacher
namin. (During the times that we are having a hard
time withthe subjects, we really need to try our best
sothat we can cope with the lessons that our teachers
are giving us.)
Mahirapan din kasi medyo.. medyo delay lang kasi 3 184 29-31
‘yong ano namin.. ‘yong.. mga ano.. subjects. (It’s
hard because it somewhat.. our subjects are somewhat
delayed.)
Meron, ‘yong.. subject no’ng.. ‘yong subject na 3 185 57-61
nabagsak before ako nag-senior high. Meron din,
‘yong.. Math nga. Math subject. (There is a subject..
the subject that I failed before senior high school.
There is one, the.. Math. Math subject.)
Oo, syempre. Nahirapan ako kasi ‘yon, medyomabagal 3 185 73-79
ang process ng.. utak ko ng mga
information.. lalo na sa mga mathematic..
mathematical problems. (Yes, of course. I am having a
hard time and.. the process of my brain on
understanding is slow.. especially on mathematic..
mathematical problems.)
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 80

Medyo ano.. unsa na? Paspas gud magtudlo, ana. (It’s 4 191 39-40
that.. it’s quite.. what is it? They teach fast, just like
that.)
Madali lang man. Pero.. usahay sa akua kay..sige ra 5 200 18-23
ko’g cutting. Mao nang low academic kaayo ko. Mao
tong na-experience nako. Walajud ko’y natun’an. (It’s
easy. But.. sometimes for me.. I’m cutting classes.
That’s why I’m low on academics. That’s what I
experienced. I learned nothing.)
Usahay sa barkada po. (Sometimes, because of my 5 200 26
friends.
Mahirap, minsan. Minsan, hindi sila nagtuturo. (Hard, 5 200 40-41
sometimes. Sometimes, they don’t
teach.)
Walang.. parang.. parang hirap nilang 5 200-201 44-47
i-translate ba. Nang.. mahirap nilang ipaintindi sa
akin. Sa amin. (There’s no.. it’s like.. it’s like they are
hard to translate. It’s hard for them to make me
understand. Us.)
Hindi ko po na-try mag-approach sa ilaha. (I never 5 201 54-56
tried to approach them.)
Yes, Math lang sang grade 10. (Only Math, during my 5 201 79-80
10th grade.)
Nahirapan, slight lang. (Struggled, slight.) Kasi.. 6 211 26,28-30
katulad ng ano.. sa.. mga subject, especially sa Math.
(Because.. like.. on.. the subjects, especially on Math.)
Minsan, nahirapan kasi ang ibang teachers, hindi mo 6 211 38-43
sila ma.. hindi mo sila ma-push na ulitin ‘yong gituro
nila sa’yo. ‘Yon. (Sometimes,I have a hard time
because some teachers, you can’t.. you can’t push
them to teach you again. That.)
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 81

Masaya. Pero may halong kaba kase medyo mahirap? 7 218 18-20
(Happy. But mixed with nervousness because it’s quite
hard?)

Depende man gud sa teacher kay naa’y teacher na 8 224 21-23,

kanang strict gud kaayo. Pero naa pud teacher na 30-32
murag wala lang. (It depends on the teacher because
there are teachers who are too strict. But we also have
teachers that are not.)

Pero naa man pud iban na teacher na halos murag 8 224 29-30;
wala la’y pakealam sa ilang students. (But there are 37-38
other teachers that doesn’t care about the students.)

Kay naa pu’y teacher na pwede ra pud nimo 8 225 47-49,

easy-easyhon gud na, “Sir pwede I extend nalang sa. 52-54
Dili pa namo mahimo” ing-ana. (There are teachers
that you could go easy on that you’ll say, “Sir, can we
have an extension? We can’t finish it today,” just like
that.
Kay sa public man gud, ano mura’g.. mura’g naa gud 8 225 85-87,
kay freedom na himuon tanan. (Since on the public, 89-90
like.. like we have freedom to do everything.)
Kato sa Science. Kay ano man gud, always man gud 8 226 105-109
ko absent. Bale mabilang lang jud ang days nga
magkasulod ko, sa isa ka-week.(On Science. Because I
am always absent. You could just count the days that I
attend classes on a week.)
Naa mi business sa balay. Mini restaurant gud, 8 226 114-117,
ing-ana. So, sometimes si mama busy pud. So, 123-126
kailangan jud nako mag absent kay ako na pud
magbantay. (We have a business at home.
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 82

Mini-restaurant. Sometimes, mom is also busy. So, I

really need to skip classes because I’ll be the one
who’ll look over the business.)
Pinapa-aware pero murag wala lang man gud sa 8 227 138-145,
ilaha. Isa pa, naa man jud isa jud ka reason why 148-154
always jud ko naga absent. Like kanang, sobra na gud
sila ka strict, ing-ana. Kay naa man gud ko’y
stepfather, nga murag naga pasipsip gud sa akong
mama. Ginahimuan kog story ba nga wala daw ko
naga sulod. Tapos always lang daw ko naga laag.
Wala daw ko naga participate gud. Mao na. sa akoa,
wala man jud nako na sya ginahimo. (I am making
them aware, but it doesn’t matter to them. One more
thing, there is also a reason why I am having absences.
Like, they are so strict, like that. Because I have a
stepfather, who does something to my mother. He is
making stories about me that I always skip classes.
Then, I always go out. I am not participating. Like
that, so for me, I really can’t do anything.)
Pero murag mabutang pud sa akong utok ba nga 8 227 145-148,
“What if diri nalang kaya ko sa balay?” Kanang dili 154-157
nalang kaya ko musulod para wala gud sila’y maingon
sa akoa na ing-ana. (But it’s like, I can put it on my
mind, “What if I should stay here at home?” Like I
should stay at home, so they won’t say anything about
me.)

Mura’g later on, mura’g easy-go lucky nalang gud ko. 9 236 18-21,
Nagapabaya na ko kay para sa akoa is mura’g dili na 22-23
gud kailangan mag exert og effort. (Later on, I became
easy-go-lucky. I didn’t give my best because for me, it
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 83

isn’t necessary to exert efforts.)

Then ang mga teacher is mura’g ano, murag wala 9 236 26-27,
sila’y pake. (Then the teachers, they’re like.. they 28-29
don’t care.)

Kase ano, parang ano sya like complicated para sa 9 237 56-60
akoa. Pero hilig ko magsolve og problems kaso para
sa akoa is manglisod kog analyze if numbers.
(Because, like complicated for me. But I like solving
problems, but for me, it’s hard to analyze when it
comes to numbers.)

Same s’ya sa private pero iba, ay.. semi-private kasi 10 242 19-26
‘yon yung school ko before. So, merong hindi ko alam
sa private, ‘di ko rin alam sa public. Kaya conflict
masyado minsan yung mga subjects. (It’s the same as
private, but different, my school before is semi-private.
So, there are things I didn’t know about the private, I
also don’t know some things in public. That’s why it’s
quite a conflict on the subject.)

Hindi naman siguro lahat madali diba? Then mostly, 10 242 30-33
grade ko always sa math is aminin ko baba. (Not
everything is easy, right? Then mostly, my grade on
Math is really low.)

Mostly kase, ‘di ko maintindihan yung, yung sinasabi 10 243 48-50,

ng teacher kase ‘yang .. paspas gud.Paspas, kanang 53-54
basta paspas. (Mostly because, I couldn’t understand
what the teacher is saying because it’s.. fast. Fast, it’s
fast.)
Then mostly hindi ako makakita sa, sa malayo. Lagi 10 243 50-52,
akong nalalagay sa malayo kase‘di daw ako pwede
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 84

ilagay sa harap kase matangkad. (Then mostly, I

couldn’t see from afar. I’m always sitting away from
the board because it’s not possible for me to sit at the
front because I’m tall.)
Kase sa, sa isang room namin, is fifty to sixty-five. 10 243 54-57 Then nasa pinakadulo
ako, ‘di ko masyadong minsan
maintindihan yung sinasabi ng teachers. (Because on,
on one classroom, is fifty to sixty-five. Then, I am
sitting on the farthest chair, I couldn’t understand what
the teachers are saying.)

IGQ2. Did you encounter any difficulties in your strand?

Di man nako ni gusto na strand. Pero naano lang gyud 1 166 77-81
ko sa akong mga barkada. Murag gi-ano ra gud ko
diri. Gi.. mura’g gi.. unsa na? Invite, oo. ( don’t like
this strand. I just happened to be here because of my
friends. was like..like.. what was that? Invited, yes.)
Opo, sa Pre-Calculus. (Yes, on Pre-Caluculus.) 2 178 89

Mahirap paminsan i-ano, iintindi ang.. Math. 2 178-179 91-92

(Sometimes, it’s hard to understand Math.)
Karon, kay naghalo man gud ang ano.. busy pud.. sa 2 179 108-111
uban pud na mga subject. (Now, subjects are
simultaneously making me busy.)
Ngayon man gud kay.. gina.. example,sa one week 2 179 127-137
naa’y ipasa next week tapos sa lima
ka-subject,kumbaga naa’y.. naa ka’y ipasasa nextweek
nga tig-tatlo.. mag.. ay. Sa lima ka-subject, naa’y..
naa’y magsabay-sabay. Kanang panagsa, makalisod
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 85

mag-comply. (Now.. for example, in a one week, there

are something to be passed next week and on the five
subjects.. it’s like there is.. you should pass something
for the three subjects next week.. On the five subjects,
there are.. there are some things that are needed to be
passed on the same time. Sometimes, it’s hard to
comply.)
Sa panahon ngayon, hindi man talaga maiwasan na 3 186 106-109
mahirapan tayo sa isang ano.. sa isang subject. Lalo
na sa Stats. (Now adays, we can’t avoid having a hard
time on..one subject. Especially on Statistics.)
May involved.. involved pud ang ano eh.. 3 186 112-116
Mathematical ano eh. Talagang.. hina ko. Hinatalaga
ako sa mga gan’yan. (Because.. there
is an involved. Mathematical something. I am really..
slow. I am really slow when it comes to that.)
Paspas magtudlo, tapos nang.. alingugngog gud sa 4 193 126-128
classroom. (Yes, that’s it. They teach fast and.. noise
in the classroom.)
Opo, nahirapan. Kasi mabilisan. (Yes, I had a hard 5 202 136
time. Because the pacing is fast.)
Hindi ko po minsan maintindihan tapos.. hindi rin ako 5 203 144-145
makasabay. (I can’t understand and Ican’t keep up.)
Kasi.. nahihiya po ako tapos natatakot. (Because.. I 5 203 155
am shy and scared.)
Merong mga.. topic na.. tinuturo ‘yong mga teachers 6 213 95-101
pero hindi ko alam. Pero, ginaturo nila sa akin. Pero..
hindi gud familiar. ‘Yong gano’n. (There are.. topics
that.. the teachers are teaching, but I don’t know about
it. But, they are teaching it to me. But.. it’s not
familiar.)
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 86

Mahirap kase dahil.. minsan hindi kami makaintindi 7 219 67-69

dahil palaging absent. (It’s hard because.. sometimes,
we can’t understand because of the absences.)

Kase.. dugay man gud makamata basta kuan, basta 7 219 78-79
buntag dugay kayko makamata. (Because.. I wake up
late, whenever it’s morning, I just wake up late.)

Oo. Tapos medyo.. simple lang ang kuan didto ah, sa 7 219 87-92
Bula Fisheries. Ang gieskwelahan dati, mura’g simple
lang ginatudlo bitaw pero diria mura’g nakalitan
bitaw ko. Uhm. Ing-ani diay ka-lisod. (Yes. And
slightly.. simple on Bula Fisheries. My school before,
they teach simply, but when I came here, I was
surprised. Uhm. It’s this hard.)

Napilitan lang kay si mama man jud ang maygusto 8 228 189-190
ana. (I was forced because my mom
wanted me to take it.)
Oo, napressure jud. (Yes, I was really pressured.) 8 228 208

Oo, sinabihan ko s’ya pero sabi n’ya sakin, itry ko 8 228 202-205
lang daw. Kase baka daw makaya ko rin. Pero lisod
jud ‘sya. (Yes, I told her, but she told me that I should
just try it. Because I might pass it. But it’s really hard.)

Mura’g nakadepende lang jud sa akong parents tanan. 8 229 234-236

(It’s like, everything depends on my parents.)

Ahh, yes. Sa ano, math. Math subjects yun lang. (On 9 237 77-78
Math. Only on Math subjects.)

Ah, teaching method is okay ako do’n, but para sa 9 237 85-87
akin ako talaga ‘yung nahihirapan. (Their teaching
methods is fine, but for me, I am really the one who’s
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 87

having a hard time.)

Uhm, siguro ano. Nahihiya ako, ganon. Or like, ewan. 9 238 93-94
Basta. (Maybe, I’m shy about it, like that. Or like, I
don’t know.)

Mostly yes. In.. GenMath. Always statistics. Lahat. 10 243 89-91

Lahat ng subject na may math mahirap para ‘sakin.
(Everything. Every subject that has Math is hard for
me.)

IGQ3. Can you describe your academic experiences last school year?

Sa mga classmate.. nang di ko kadungog sa likod, 1 168 133-143

nang saba kaayo sila, dili ko kadungog,sige’g
pangutana.. nang bisa’g wala pa nahuman nangutana
ang teacher, mag-answerdayon sila. (My classmates
are the reason why I can’t hear from the back, they are
too noisy and I can’t hear. They keep on throwing
questions, and even if the teacher still hasn’t finished
the question, they’ll answer immediately.)
Mura’g halos tanan man siguro nga teacher, kung 1 168 150-155
mang.. mangutana ko, mura’g sa lahi man.. sa.. nga
estudyante ang i-ano. nga iyang answer. Iyang ihatag
na answer. (Probably to almost every teacher,
whenever Iask a question, they are giving the answer
to other students.)
Pero pagka-second sem, didto lang nako nabal’an na 1 169 180-184
ano diay.. nang.. unsa ka-dali ang, ay.. or.. dili man
siya dali pero makaya nako ang Math. (Yes, but
during the second semester, I just realized that Math is
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 88

easy.. I mean, I can handle it.)

Sa second sem kay mura’g maano.. nang.. 1 169 191-196
gina..isa-isa.. gina-isa-isagyud nga estudyanteang
pag-ano.. pag.. pag-answer sa board. Ana. (Because
during the second semester, the teacher was letting the
students answer on the board one-by-one.)
Mutuo man mo o dili, unsang.. unsa ang akong rason 1 169 214-219
nga nabagsak ko sa basic cal kay sobra ka.. nag..
nag-study ko ing’atong.. katong later nga day nga to.
Sobra sa ka-study nako, nakatulog ko sa exam.
(Believe it or not, the reason why I failed on my Basic
Calculus is..I studied too much that I fell asleep during
the examination.)
Oo, kay sa grade 11 man gud, kay, ang among klase 1 170 225-231
kay hapon. Tapos, kung sa buntag, nang di.. dili pud
ko maka-study kay mag-ano man pud
ko sa balay.. mag-tabang-tabang, mga ing’ana. (Yes,
because during 11th grade, our classes were scheduled
during the afternoon. And during mornings, I can’t
study sinceI am helping on the house, those things.)
Kay, sa, katong pag-grade 10 ngato kay wholeday mi 1 170 236-246
sa eskwelahan so wala ko’y matabang sa balay,
karang lisod nga maitabang. Katong pag-grade 11 kay
didto.. didto na ko naga-start nga magtabang sa.. sa
balay. Kung magtabang man gud ko ta’s dali lang
pud ko kapu..kapuyon. Mao nang maano pud ko sa
time. (Because during the 10thgrade, we are spending
the whole day at school so I couldn’t do house chore
th
that are quite hard. During 11 grade, I started helping
out in our house. Whenever I help, I am getting tired
easily. So I have a something with my time.)
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 89

Minsan sa mga activity dito, pero ano man pud.. 2 180 165-168
minsan nang.. kulang sa tulog. (Sometimes, during the
activities here. But sometimes, I just don’t have
enough time to sleep.)

Grabe lang gyud akong absent. (I skip classes too 2 181 196-197
much.)

‘Yong.. experience ko sa pag-aaral no’ng grade last 3 186 121-129

year, may mga pagkakataon na.. complicated. May
mga.. pagkakataon din na.. masaya lang kami. Kasi
‘pag HUMSS, masayatalaga. Pero sa totoo lang,
mahirap maging HUMSS. (My experiences on my
studies during 11th grade last year, there are times that
are.. complicated. There are.. also times that.. we are
happy. Because if you’re a HUMSS student, it’s really
fun. But the truth is, it’s also hard to be a HUMSS
student.)

‘Di naman po mahirap ang P.E., nawa.. nawalan lang 3 187-188 178-184
po ako ng oras para sa.. pagtuon ko ng pansin kasi
dahil sa ibang subjects na kailangan ko pagtuonan ng
pansindahil sa medyo nahirapan nga ako. So,
kailangan ko ‘yon unahin. (Physical Education is not
that hard. I lost some time to focus because there are
other subjects that I needed to focus on since I had a
hard time. So, I had to put them first.)

Kailangan po pagkasyahin ‘yong oras ko sa bawat 3 188 189-192

subjects na kailangan kong.. pag-aralan.(Yes, it
affects it because.. I need to manage my time on every
subject that I need to study.)
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 90

Dali lang ko makasabot.. makasabot man ko.. 4 194-195 179-184

makasabot, pero pag-abot sa activities, hands-on..
wala na. Mura’g ma-mental block gud, ato. (Yes,
that’s.. it’s easy for me to understand, I could
understand, but.. when it comes to activities,
hands-on.. that’s it. It’s likeI’m having a mental
block.)
Tapos environment pud, saba. (On the environment 4 195 209-210
also, noisy.)

Hinay ko sa solving. Like ana gud. (I’m slow when it 4 196 237-239
comes to solving. Like, that’s exactly it.)

Gano’n pa din. Cutting ako tapos hindi ako 5 203 171-178

makahabol sa ibang subject, mga activities, mga
assignment, ‘di ko mapasa. Do’n.. ‘yon ang
naexperience ko sa grade 11. (It’s the same. I am
cutting classes and can’t keep up with the subjects,
activities, assignments, I couldn’t pass. There. that’s
what I experienced in 11th grade.)

Barkada. Pang-umaga kasi sila. Tapos ako, 5 204 185-187

pang-hapon. (Friends. They have morning
classes. While me, I’m on the afternoon.)

Minsan, pero hindi talaga lahat.. na alam 5 204 195-196

nila.(Sometimes, but not all.. they don’t know it all.)
Nagalit sa akin. (They got mad at me.) Pinagsalitaan
ng mabibigat. (They said heavy words.)

Nakakaapekto po. (It affects my studies.) Ma-down 5 204 213,216

ako. (I am losing motivation.)
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 91

Wala akong.. masyadong friends sa..room (I really.. 5 204 224-225

don’t have much friends at.. the classroom)

Feeling ko.. mas low standard ako. (I feel like.. I’m on 5 205 244-245
the low standards.)
Kasi wala akong confidence na mag.. salita. Gan’yan. 5 205 262-264
(Because I don’t have any confidence to.. speak. Like
that.)
Ginatabangan ko sa akong uyab. Ana. Ginatryniya 5 205 270-274
mag.. makisabay sa akua para makatuonjud. (My
girlfriend is helping me. That. She’s trying to cope
with me to learn.)
Tungkol sa love life. (About my love life.) Pangalan 5 208 379,
sa girlfriend mo. Tinatawag sa’yo. Minsan, nakakainis 282-287
na. Gina-kimkim nalang nako ang ginaano nila sa
akin. (It’s when.. the name of my girlfriend. They call
it to you. Sometimes, it’s annoying. I’m just keeping it
to myself, everything that they do to me.)
Mas (More) challenging. 6 213 121

Challenging, pero kung mabagsak ka, meron kang 6 215 127-128

second chance. (But if you failed, there’s a second
chance.)
Mas kinakain ‘yong time ko sa umaga sa 6 213-214 134-138
tulog. Kesa ‘yong mag-ano na gud, mag-aral. (I spend
more time on sleeping. Than when I,what do you call
that, I study.)
Ibang requirements.. ‘yang.. hindi ko maapply sa sarili 6 214 172-175
ko kasi sa katamaran din ba. (The
other requirements.. it’s.. uhm, I can’t apply it to
myself because of laziness.)
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 92

Makain ‘yong oras ko sa pagtulog. (The time would 6 214 179-181

be taken by my sleep.)
Mura’g dili kaayo itudlo sa amoa’g tarong ba. (It’s 7 220 110-112
like they don’t teach us properly.)

Sa amoang section man gud kanang kompetensya ba. 7 220 116-119

Kanang compete ang ilang gusto daw, dili tinabangay.
(On our section, it’s like a competition. They like to
compete, not help each other.)

Oo. Mga pilingon man gud akong mga classmate. 7 220 124-125
(Yes. My classmates are somewhatfeelers.)
Kanang dili bitaw kaayo ko makatarong ug paminaw 7 221 138-144
kay akong mga classmate man gud sige’s kanang, sige
lang.. sigi lang sila og kanang recite. Mura’g ma..
ma-stop nalang ka ba. Di ka makatubag. (I really can’t
listen well because my classmates are like, too.. too..
recite too much. It’s like.. you’d just stop. You can’t
answer.)

Oh, kay super strict na jud. As in nga pati gud kanang 8 227 167-177
diba naa ko diri sa classroom, kanang naa man na’y
location diba akong cellphone, so mao na iyang
ginagamit para malocate ko niya kung asa ba ko naga
adto. As in sobra na jud sila ka strict. So, murag wala
na pud koy gana musulod gud last year. Mao to,
mura’g sige nalang ko’g absent. (They are really
strict. As in, like, example, I am at the classroom, like
there’s a location on my phone, so that’s what they use
to locate me wherever I go. As in, they are too strict.
So, I really don’t have much interest going to school
last year. That’s why I always skip classes.)
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 93

Oo, grade 11. Ano, okay pa man tong una-una kay 8 229 255-259,
medyo dili pa gud kaayo complicated. Pero ‘tong 244-250
nagstart na jud na kanang naa na gud mi mga PE, late
nako muuli murag didto napud nagstart na pud sila’g
strict jud sa akoa, kanang halos taga oras pud sige
pud na sila’g tawag sa akoa bisag naga klase. So,
syempre maapektuhan jud na kay lain, maka disturb
gud. (Yes, grade 11. It was fine at first because it
wasn’t that complicated. But when PE began, I go
home late and that’s when they began to be strict
again, it’s like, they call me every hour even if there
are classes. So, of course, it would affect me because it
would disturb me.)

Mga subjects pud nako, nalisdan pud ko tungod kay sa 8 229 251-264
public ko gikan diba. Layo, uhm.. as in dako jud kaayo
and diperensya gud sa pagtudlo nila sa public kaysa
sa private. So, medyo nalisdan pud ko mag ano ba,
mag.. unsa’y tawag ani, mag adjust, oo. (My subjects,
I had a hard time because I came from a public school,
right? It’s far, uhm.. as in, there are huge differences
when it comes to teaching on the public and private.
So, I struggled on the.. what do you call this,
adjustments, yes.)

Uhm, okay lang ‘sya. Pero siguro dahil sa ano, like 9 238 106-109
siguro nabagsak ko sa ibang subjects is dahil for me is
siguro irresponsible ako. (It’s fine. But maybe
because, like maybe I am failing on my subjects
because I am irresponsible.)

Except siguro sa Math subjects. May ibang ano lang 9 238 113-118
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 94

talaga, may ahh, anong tawag n’yan ah? Siguro may

ibang aspects ng Math na hindi ko maintindihan.
(Except on Math subjects. There are some, there, what
do you call that? Maybe there are some aspects on
Math that I couldn’t understand?)

Okay naman. Pero, mostly ang iba selfish. Hindi mo, 10 244 110-113
hindi ka nila, ah.. Hindi mo sila ka-level. (It’s fine.
But, most of them are selfish. You don’t, they don’t,
ah.. You are not on their levels.)

Kase meron ibang.. pilingera, ganon. Kase ganito lang 10 244 120-123
nakayanan mo. Galing ka dito na school. (Because
there are some who are.. feeling, ghose. Because
you’re only like this. You’re from this school.)

Una-una talagang klase, okay. Okay lahat. Then ‘yung 9 244 129-136
iba ay pag-abot sa second sem, ‘don na talaga ako
nahirapan. Lahat talagang, nahirapan ako. Except
siguro sa kanang.. sa.. Earth and Life Science. ‘Yon
lang sigurong hindi ko nahirapan. (First, from the first
day, fine. Everything was fine. Then, some, when I
reached second sem, was very hard. Everything, I had
a hard time. Except for Earth and Life Science. I just
had a hard time there.)

Aminin ko, pagdating sa quiz makaya ko. 10 245 153-169

Maka-passing score ako always, minsan maperfect ko.
Ewan ko lang talaga pagdating sa exam. Parang
ninenerbyos ako. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako mag
uumpisa. Ang taas-taas ng sasagutan mo pero ‘yung
masasagutan mo sa unang pahina lang. Ma, uhm,
gabi-gabi kang nag-aaral , pupuyatan mong mag-aral
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 95

para makuha mo ‘yung magandang grado pero ewan

ko lang at bakit. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako laging
nababagsak. (I admit that when it comes to the
quizzes, I can handle. I could reach the passing score
always, sometimes, I get the perfect. I don’t know
what happens on examinations. It’s like I’m getting
nervous. I don’t know where I should start. The
questions are too long, but the only numbers you can
answer are only on the first page. Ma, uhm, every
night you’re studying, you sleep late to study so that
you could have good grades, but I don’t know and
why. I don’t know why I am always failing.)

Hindi ako makafocus minsan sa second sem kase 10 245-246 175-177,

ininsomnia ako. Hindi ako makatulog ng maayos. (I 183-184
can’t focus sometimes, during the second semester
because of insomnia. I couldn’t sleep well. )

IGQ4. Are there any particular reasons why have you undergone a bridging program?

Sa first sem nga si’g tinamad-tinamad. Dili 1 171 287-294

maghatag ug quizzes. Quizzes- assignment
th
diay. (I was too lazy during I was on the 11 grade. I
can’t give assignments and that’s it. But I really did
my best during the 12th
grade. That’s all.)
Oo, sa absences tapos ma.. maskin ala-una ang klase 2 181 202-211
malate gihapon kay tungod sa pulaw. Akong tig-mata
man gud kay alas-onse. Alas-onse, alas-dose man na.
Minsan, late na man. Ug.. for.. minsan, alas-dos
alas-tres mao nang minsan ala.. alas-tres nalang pud
ko gasulod. Alas-tres. (Yes, the absences and even if
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 96

the classes begin at 1PM, I still go to school late

because I sleep too late. I wake up at 11AM. 11AM or
12PM. Sometimes, it’s just late. And.. sometimes,
2PM or 3PM, that’s why sometimes I go to school at
3PM. 3PM.)
Pulaw. (Sleeping late.) 2 181 216

Sa social media tapos laro paminsan tapos 2 181 218-220

mag-gala.(On the social media and games. Sometimes,
when I wander around.)
Oo, dalawa. Addict talaga ako sa social media atsaka 2 181 224-226
sa online games. (Yes, two of them. I’m addicted to
social media and online games.)
Kay naaddict na man kay tapos kumpyansa pud na 2 182 235-240
pang-hapon ang klase. Bale, kumpyansa pud nga
tig-tulog, tig-six to seven. Tapos magising, eleven to
twelve. (No, because I was addicted and I assured than
the classes are still in the afternoon. So it’s fine to
sleep at 6AM to 7AM. Then I wake up at 11AM to
12PM.)
Ay, kung sa gising, pagalitan. Pero kung matagal 2 182 246-249
matulog, naga-tago-tago lang ko magpulaw kay
pagalitan man ako. (When it’s waking up, they scold
me. But when I sleep late, I just hide when I
do it since they will give me a scolding.)
Kung unsa’y pinakalisod, mao lang tong gina-comply 2 182-183 274-278
nako ug kumpyansa ko sa mga dali lang pud na klase.
(No, no because I always comply on the hardest
subjects. And on the easy ones, I was confident.)
Meron din po. Kasi.. tulad ng sabi ko.. uh.. kailangan 3 188 202-207
lang po natin ng time management para
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 97

napagkakasya po natin ‘yong.. oras natin sa..

pag-aaral ng iba’t-ibang subjects. (There are reasons.
Because.. like what I said.. uh.. we need to have time
management so that we could fit our.. time on..
studying different subjects.)
Ato, tardiness. Tapos, nya.. dili gid ko kaanswer sa 4 196 262-267
mga quiz, ana gud kay ano, na-mental block ko.
Mura’g dili ko sure sa akong answer pirminti ba, ana.
(That’s it, tardiness. Then, I couldn’t answer with the
quizzes, since I am experiencing mental block. I am
not sure of my answers always.)
Low scores. 5 208 406

No activity, absent. 5 208 408

Natulog lang ako sa bahay. (Just asleep at home.) 5 209 412-414,

Phone. Kasi wala akong makasalamuha. (Because I 421-422
don’t have anyone to interact with.)
Hmm, katamaran. (Laziness.) 5 209 440

Wala talaga akong friends, mga barkada. Dito sa 5 209 443-445

school, wala talaga. (I really don’t have friends, a
group. Here at school, there’s really none.)
Ang rason ko sa.. ay, dahil na.. nasali ako sa bridging 6 215 186-195
kasi ‘yong nag-SRAA kami.. no’ng ngayong.. ngayong
year.. kasi, dahil sa SRAA, ano.. hindi ko ma-cope up
‘yong mga teachers ko gud, tapo.. ay, hindi ko
ma-cope up ‘yong mga ibang.. uhm, activity, ‘tsaka
‘yang written work ko sa school. (My reason is..
because.. I joined bridging program, when I
participated in SRAA.. this.. this year.. because,
because of SRAA.. I can’t cope with my teachers,
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 98

and.. I mean, I can’t cope with the other.. uhm,

activity, and my writter works at school.)
Mga classmate na.. katong, makipag-kompetensya 7 222-223 229-234
bitaw. Tapos, nang mura’g.. dili na matagad namo
kaibigan bitaw biskan naa, mura’g mawala nalang,
kay human na sila’g answer. (I have classmates.. that
are competitive. Then, like.. we can’t notice them as a
friend even if we could, like we’d lose it, because
they’re done answering.)

Kay syempre gikan ko sa public, transfer sa private 7 221-222 180-186

mura’g kanang lahi gyud baya ang.. leksyon sa.. mga
teacher. Mao nang gipasabot nako. (Since, of course, I
came from a public school then transferred onto a
private, it’s like, very different.. the lessons of the
teachers.)

Bale ako lang jud ang ano ba, murag naa ju’y.. family, 8 230 306-312
ay naa ju’y problema kay syempre sa akong family.
So, ako jud ang naa’y ano eh. Always naman gud ko
gaabsent, ana. (It’s just I’m the only one who has..
family, ay there’s a problem with family. So, I’m just
really the person who has something. I always skip
classes, like that.)

Uh, sa mga performance task. Kay naa ju’y time na 8 231 336-347
dili jud ko makaapil parehas nang mga video
presentation kay diba kung dili afternoon ginahimo,
buntag. So, busy man gud ko ana basta buntag kay
mao gani to, naa jud mi ano mini-resto. So, dili jud ko
makaattend. So mao na dili ko makapasa’g video, mga
requirements. (On the performance task. Because there
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 99

are times that I couldn’t join on the video presentation

because if it isn’t made in the afternoon, it’s in the
morning. So, I really am busy on mornings, because
that’s it, we have a mini-resto. So, I really couldn’t
attend. So, I couldn’t pass the videos, requirements.)

Sa PreCalculus and Basic Calculus is ano. 9 239 162-165

Nahihirapan ako. Sa E-Tech is sa kapabayaan. (On
the PreCalculus and Basic Calculus is that. I am
having a hard time. On the E-Tech subject, I didn’t
focus much.)

Sa absents, ganon. (On my absences.) 9 239 173

Sometimes is like late nako maggising. And then 9 239 176-180

parang ano, like kung feel ko na late na talaga ako is
hindi ako pumapasok. (Sometimes, I wake up late.
And then, like whenever I feel that I’d go to school
late, I won’t go to school.)

Para sa akin po is, yung behavior. (For me, it’s the 9 240 184-185
behavior.)

Like katamaran. Ganon. (Like, laziness.) 9 240 187

Siguro, ah sa mahinang marka ko sa exam. Kaya ako 10 246 198-203

nasama. Hindi siguro umabot ‘yung karapat-dapat na
point para sa akin kaya ako napasama sa bridging
program. (Maybe, ah on my low marks on the exam.
That’s why I am there. I didn’t reach the supposedly
point for me that’s why I am on the bridging program.)

Kasi sa tuwing nageexam kami, one hour. Supposedly, 10 246 207-216

before one hour tapos ka nang mag-answer. Syempre
sa akin kinakabahan pa ako eh. Hindi pa ako naka
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 100

answer, parang hindi mo lahat na tapos. Pero natapos

mo man pero mali-mali. So yung effort mo, useless
padin. (Because everytime we are having an exam, it
only takes one hour. Supposedly, before one hour,
you’re done answering. Of course, for me, I am
nervous. I couldn’t answer, like you couldn’t finish
everything. You might finish it, but it’s wrong. So
your efforts are useless.)

Kase yung, alam nila yung mahirap na asignatura 10 246 220-227

kailangan nilang bigyan ng mahabang.. mahabang
oras kase maraming, uhm, maraming isosolve na
problem. May, may ibang studyante na mahina sa
math, ganyan. (Because, if they know that the subject
is hard, they need to give a long.. longer time because
there are plenty, uhm, plenty problems to solve. There
are students who are weak at Math, those kind of
things.)

IGQ5. What is the impact of being a participant of bridging program?

Pero sa tinuod lang, naa gid ko’y natun’an sa 1 172 326,

bridging. (But the truth is, I really learned something 329-330
in the bridging program.)
Di man pud ko maulaw nga mag-ingon ko na 1 172 342-345
na-bridging ko o wala. Nang.. na.. wala, mao to. (I am
not ashamed to tell if I encountered bridging classes or
not.That’s it.)
Mura’g ginakataw’anan lang na mo ang bridging kay 1 172 351-358
na.. kato, nag-bridging mi. Pero, dili.. dili pud nang
sakit na mura’g positive nga: “ay, na-bridging ko!”
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 101

Ing’ana gud. Karang, kato. (we laughed at the

program because that’s it.. I mean, we became
participants of the bridging program. But it was not the
pain that was positive like: “Ah, I am on the bridging
program!” Just like that.. and, that’s it.)
Kabalo man ko nga naa gyud sa akua ang mali. So.. 1 172-173 362-368
nang.. dili nang negative dayon, kay kabalo na man ko
unsang kulang nako. Mga ing’ana. (Yes, because I
already knew from the start that the fault was on me. I
mean, it isn’t really negative immediately. I already
know my incapabilities. Like that.)

Lingaw man ma-bridging. (I could possibily say that 1 173 376-377,

the experience is fun. ) 380-381

Mura’g wala man.. Wala man diri sa Pilipinas. Tapos, 1 173 389-400
sa.. kung sa balay.. kapuyon man gud ko sa balay kay
si’g tabang. Kung sa friends man pud, bilang lang
mad pud akong ano.. mga true friends. (It’s like I am
not wasting my time since my family is not here in the
Philippines. And when I’m at home, I get tired because
I help too often. Regarding with friends, I could only
count which are true.)
Ang ano lang gyud, ang masayang lang gyud sa akua.. 1 173 394-396,
dili ang time.. ang sayang lang gyud ang.. ang akong 400-401
kwarta. (The only thing that I regret losing is, not my
time, but my money. That’s it.)
Sa grades, naa man. Pero, ginaingon lang gyud nako 1 174 410-418
nga okay man pud akong grade. Pero sa assignment,
arang sa balay.. nang.. kung pauli na ko sa balay,
musulod dayon ko sa kwarto. Tapos, kato. (Uhm,
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 102

regarding the grades, there is someone who’s

checking, but I only tell that my grades are fine. But
on my assignments, whenever I reach the house.. when
I got home, I immediately go inside my room. And,
that’s it.)
Mura’g ginatago lang gyud nako sa akong sarili. 1 174 440-446,
Nga.. nang.. nabagsak.. nabagsak ko sa mga subject. 447-451
Mao lang to. Lain man pud na ano.. iingon nako na
naa ko’y bagsak na subjects sa akong mga guardian
ug sa akong parent. Nang, kung ingon nako. So,
mura’g ano na pud eh, nang. Panan’aw nako
paundangon na ko ug eskwela. (I’m just hiding it in
myself. That I failed some subjects That’s it. Because
it’s really not good to tell my guardian or parents that I
failed some subjects. I feel like if I tell them, they are
gonna ask me to stop studying.)
Kay sa balay man gud nang.. wala. Hilomon lang pud 1 175 457-463
ko, karang tig-sunod lang ko sa mga sugo-sugo. So,
wala gid ko naga.. naga-isturya sa mga sa akong mga
pinsan, mga aunty..Kara. (Because at home.. nothing.
I just stay silent and follow what they ask me to do.
don’t speak up to my cousins, my aunts.. that’s it.)
Sa tinuod lang gyud, gusto nako nga taas gyud akong 1 175 476-479,
grado kay para.. kay wala man gud ko’y ano mga 481-483
tinuod gyud nga mga friends. Kay gamay kaayo ako
ng grado. (The truth is, I really want high grades
because I don’t have true friends. Because my grades
are too low.)
Parang wala lang, pero lesson learned. (No, it’s like 2 183 284-285
nothing, but lesson learned.)
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 103

Dili pud kay mali man pud to nako. (No, because it 2 183 289-290
was also my fault.)
Di naman sila nagalit, nalungkot lang sila dahil hindi 3 188 223-226
ko pa po na.. hindi ka po na.. naipasa ‘yong lahat
no’ng subjects no’n. (They didn’t get mad, they were
sad because I didn’t pass all of my subjects during that
time.)
Nakakatulong po ito para kami ay.. makakabawi sa 3 189 242-245
mga.. pagkakataon na kulang sa amin tulad ng.. ‘yon
nga, time management. (It helps us so that we can.. do
better on the.. times that we had
insufficient time management.)
Wala naman po.. walang problema ‘pag nag-bridging 3 189 251-253
ako. Wala naman kaso ‘yon. (There’s none.. there’s no
problem if I had bridging program. There’s no
problem in it.)
Medyo nahihiya lang po kasi.. ‘yong iba nga.. walang 3 189 257-260
bagsak eh. Kami nga, meron. ‘Yon talaga ano..
nakakahiya. (I am quite shy because.. the others.. they
didn’t fail some subjects. While we failed some.
That’s the humiliating part.)
Minsan, nakakaranas din pero.. mas pinili ko nalang 3 189 263-268
na hindi sila pansinin kasi alam kong mas.. mas lalala
pa ‘yan kung.. kung papansinin ko po sila.
(Sometimes, I am experiencing it.. but I chose to
ignore them since I know that it would get worse.. it
would get worse if.. if I choose to pay attention to
them.)
Tanggap ko na po. (I already accepted it.) 3 189 272

Hindi naman po nakaapekto kasi.. ‘yong sinabi ko 3 190 302-304

TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 104

nga. ‘Di ko sila.. ‘di ko sila pinapansin. (It doesn’t

affect me because.. just like I said. I didn’t.. I didn’t
pay attention to them.
Ato, reaksyon nila kay gastos kaayo. (Their reaction is 4 197 299-300
that it costs too much money.)
Positive lang gihapon ko. Akua man gihapong sala 4 197 316-318
ngano. (II’m still positive. It’s still my fault why.)
Nagalit pa. Nagalit, una-una, pero tinang.. binayaran 5 206 315-317
nila tapos ‘yon. Last nalang daw ‘yon. (They were
mad. They got mad, at first, but they..
paid for it. They said it’s the last time.)
Nagalit sila, tapos habang.. nag..nagasturya man gud 5 207 326-329
sila kay dili ko nila paminawon. (They were mad, then
while.. uhm.. while talking, they won’t listen to me.)
Walang time sila, magpaturo dapat ako tapos hindi 5 207 342-345
sila maka-ano sa akin na time. (They don’t have time,
I should ask for help, but they couldn’t because they
couldn’t give me time.)
‘Yong.. makatuto ulit ako. Tapos, natutunan ko kesa sa 5 207 348-350
regular class. Makatuto din. (It’s.. I learned again.
Then, I learned more than the regular class. I learned.)
Hindi ko po kinakahiya. (I’m not shy about it.) 5 207 366

Galit, especially si mama. Kasi sa isang subject is.. 6 216 232-234

worth 1.5k. (Of course. Mad, especially my mom.
Because one subject.. costs 1.5k.)
Yong impact sa akin is ano.. ‘yon lang.. gi.. ‘yong mga 6 216 241-245
nonsense na gipangsabi nila sa.. about sa akin, ‘yon
lang ‘yong.. kumabaga, fuel ko ba para i-encourage
‘yong sarili ko. (The impact on me is.. that’s it.. the
nonsense they’ve said.. about me.. that’s it. like, my
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 105

fuel to encourage myself.)

Wala, kasi nakatulong din ‘yon sa akin, para 6 216 261-262
maliwanagan din ako. (None, because it helped me, to
be enlightened.)
Pero nasakitan ko eh, bagsak gud. (But I was hurt, I 7 222 197-198
still failed.)
Syempre, masakit pero.. kailangan lang na.. sumali sa 7 222 207-209
bridging para maipasa ko. (Of course, it hurts, but.. I
need to.. join the bridging program so that I could
pass.)

Syempre, maulaw pero.. (Of course, I get shy, but..) 7 222 219-223
okay lang, atleast kuan.. naa na ko’y.. naa na,
makabalo na ko unsa’y mali na mga akong wala
nabuhat. (It’s fine, atleast.. I have.. there’s, I could
understand where I went wrong on what I didn’t do.)

First, nasuko sila tapos gina-explain nako sa ilaha 8 233 419-433

kung unsa ang reason. Gina-question gihapon ko nila
nga ginaano gud gihapon nila nga ako gihapon ang
mali, dili sila. Gina-explain nako na sala man gihapon
ninyo na nag ing-ani ko. Wala ko’y gana muskwela,
pero habang ginastorya nako to, gasabat pud tong
stepfather nako na dili man na mao ang rason. So,
pasabot ato, murag ako gihapon ang mali. Mao to. (At
first, they got mad at me and I explained what were the
reasons. They kept on questioning me that I am the
one who’s at fault and not them. I explained that it was
their fault why I was like this. I didn’t have any
interest on studying, but while I was saying those, my
stepfather also says that it wasn’t really the reason. So,
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 106

at the end, I was still the one who’s at fault. That’s it.)

Actually, naa pud s’ya’y good nga na ako sa akoa kay 8 234 484-496
naa gyud ko’y natun-an ba. As-in dali man gyud ka
makatuon pag nakabridging ka kay gamay lang jud
ang student ba so murag makafocus jud ka’g maayo sa
teacher. Makapaminaw jud ka’g tarong. Tapos, isa pa
naa gyud kay matun-an. Bahala’g nakabridging gud
ka, atleast diba naa gyud kay natun-an. Mao lang to.
(Actually, there is also good for me, because I learned
something. As in, it’s easier for me to learn on
bridging because the students are not that many, so I
could focus more on the teacher. I could listen more.
Then, one more thing, you really could learn more. It
doesn’t matter if you experienced bridging, as long as
you learned something. That’s it.)

Yung parents ko po is open. So, but syempre 9 240 202-206

disappointed kasi nabridging ako twice. (My parents
are open-minded. So, but of course, they are
disappointed because I experienced it twice.)

It serves as a lesson para sa mga nagbi-bridging na 9 240 211-214

students po na dapat hindi magpabaya sa pag-aaral.
(It serves as a lesson for the bridging students that you
should focus on your subjects more.)

No’ng una, syempre galit kase hindi ko napasa ‘yun. 10 247 261-271
Kase kulang ‘yung effort ko. Alam din nila mama na
mahina ako, sa math. Then sa pangalawa, hindi alam
nila mama na nagbridging ako. Pero pina alam ko
lately na.. pinagba.. uhm, acceptable parin nila. Alam
nila na hindi talaga nila hindi ko talaga kaya. (At
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 107

first, of course they were mad because I didn’t pass.

Because my efforts are not enough. My parents also
knows that I am weak at Math. Then at the second,
they didn’t know. But I let them know lately that..
uhm, they accepted it. They know that I really couldn’t
make it.)

Syempre yung pagiging… una siguro nahihiya ako 10 248 282-287

kasi kuan man pud, uhm, baba kaayo ko. ‘Di ko alam
kung bakit nabagsak ako. Pero.. ‘yong pangalawa
acceptable ko na talaga na hindi ko talaga kaya. (Of
course, being.. at first, I am shy, because I am too low.
I didn’t know why I fail. But.. during the second, I
already accepted it.)

Honest ako pagdating sa mama at papa ko. Hindi ako, 10 249 331-335,
pero sa ibang family like tito, tita hindi syempre. Kase 342-347
takot akong mapa.. mapahiya. Hindi ah.. hindi ako
kabi, ah, hindi ako.. hindi na ako nakikihalubilo sa iba
kong mga pinsan kasi nahihiya ako. Kasi low
strandard lang, ganon ganyan. ((Yes, I am honest
when it comes to my mom and dad. I’m not, but when
it comes to other family like uncle, aunt, of course not.
Because I am scared to be humiliated. No ah.. I am
not, ah, I am not.. I am not interacting with some of
my cousins because I am shy. Because I am only on
the low standard, this and that.)

Kung athlete ka man kagaya ko, uhm, sa ibang tao 10 249 336-339,
syempre hindi mo aaminin na nabagsak ka kasi bilang 347-351
athlete di mo dapat.. hindi ka nababagsak. Kailangan
matalino ka talaga. (And if you’re an athlete like me,
TRAVAILS OF GRADE 11 BRIDGING STUDENTS 108

uhm, to other people, of course you won’t admit that

you are a failure because as an athlete you’re not
supposed to.. you’re not supposed to fail. You need to
be intelligent. )

IGQ6. Did you make any strategies or ways to cope with the subject/s that you failed?

Nag-himo gyud ko’g paraan nga ano nang.. para di 1 170 264-270
mabagsak. Karang, mag-participate ginagmay. Ug
mag.. hatag ug ano.. tama nga seatwork ug unsa na..
assignment. (I really did. I really did try to find a way
to avoid failing my classes. I participate sometimes

Naghanap ko ng paraan.. kinausap ko na po ‘yong 3 189 233-238

teacher ko.. kung ano po ‘yong posibleng paraan..
kung paano ako.. paano mahila ‘yong grado ko at
hindi ako ma.. bagsak. (I tried to find a way.. I talked
to my teacher.. on what are the possible ways.. on how
I could.. how I could try to pull my grades and not
fail.)

Wala talaga akong ginawa, gano’n talaga. 4 197 292-294

(There’s really nothing I did, that’s it.)

Naghanap man din ako ng way, para.. mahabol ‘yong 6 195 202-213
lessons ko, pero.. sa part na pag-cope up ko sa mga
teachers.. syempre, nag-bigay naman sila ng deadline
tapos.. nagbigay na rin sila ng warnings na dapat
ngayon, ibigay mo nalang ‘yong written works o ‘yong

mga outputs. Pero that time, hindi ko maibigay kasi

naga-training kami sa.. Calumpang. (I tried to find a
way, so that.. I can keep up with the lessons, but.. on
the part that I cope with the teachers.. of course, they
gave a deadline and.. they gave warnings that now,
you should pass your written works or outputs. But
during that time, I couldn’t give anything because we
had our training in.. Calumpang.)
No choice naman ako no’n, wala nang way para ano.. 6 195 222-277
wala na talagang way para mahabol pa ‘yong sa ano.
Kasi, mababa man ‘yong written works ko ‘tsaka
mababa din ‘yong exam ko. So, ‘yon. (I didn’t have a
choice, there’s no way so that.. no way that I could
still pass. Since, my written works are low, so is my
exam. So, that’s it.)
Gibuhat man nako ang tanan. Pero kuan, kaning.. 7 221 170-173
mura’g dili gid enough nga kuan.. para.. unsa ni,
mapasar ko. (Ah, I really did everything. But it’s just..
it’s not enough.. for me to pass.)

Wala na kay murag na ano na jud ko sa time ato. Dili 8 232 396-400
na jud ko makabawi ba kay syempre, sige nalang man
jud kog absent ato, so gipasagdaan nalang pud nako.
(No, because I really don’t have much time. I couldn’t
make it up, of course, I always skip classes, so I left it
like that.)

Sinikap ko po na humabol, siguro lang po kapos. ‘Yon. 9 240 194-196

(I tried my best to keep up, maybe it’s just not enough.
That’s it.)

Syempre, grabe. Double effort ako sa pangalawa pero 10 247 246-256

hindi ko talaga.. hindi ko alam kung lagi ako na,

napapasama sa bridging program every sem. Tanong
ko lang rin sa mga teacher kung anong kulang ko.
Wala naman akong kulang. Sa PT, always on date
naman ako pumapasa. Sa quizzes ko. Exam lang
talaga ako mababa. ‘Yon lang talaga. (Of course. I
exerted double effort during the second, but I still
didn’t.. I don’t know why I’m always.. on the bridging
program every sem. I’m asking my teachers what I’m
lacking. I don’t lack at anything. On the PT, I always
pass on time. On the quizzes. My exams are low, that’s
it.)
