“At sa Loob ng Pananaw, ng Labas”

Ako ay mula sa isang mas mababang pamilya na nasa gitnang kita, ako si Darren Kate
Licupa. Walang dumating sa mundong ito, nang walang suporta ng pamilya at mga kaibigan. Sa
totoo lang, kung ano man ang magiging ikaw, ito ay dahil lamang sa iyong pamilya. Ang aking
ama ay driver at welder. Ang aking ina ay isang salesclerk. Pareho nilang mahal ang kanilang
hanapbuhay. Natutuhan ko mula sa aking mga magulang ang halaga ng oras, katapatan,
pagsusumikap at pangako sa hangarin. Dalawa kaming magkapatid. Bilang pinakamatanda, ako
ang pinaka reponsable sa aking kapatid na babae. Nais kong gabayan at alagaan siya. Magkaiba
kami ng pinapasukang paaralan. Ang pagbasa ang aking pasyon. Ako ay isang masigasig na
mambabasa ng mga nobela at libro ng kasaysayan dahil may matindi akong interes sa
Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Gusto kong basahin ang mga libro na tumutukoy sa mayamang
kasaysayan at sibilisasyon ng sinaunang Pilipinas. At gustung-gusto kong manuod ng mga
pelikula tulad ng Enola Holmes, Hacksaw Ridge, Goyo: The Boy General, Heneral Luna,
Wonder Woman at Les Miserables. Ang paborito kong manlalaro ng soccer ay si Cristiano
Ronaldo.
Sa aking pagkabata, nakikinig ako ng mga kwento mula sa aking lola, at ito ay may
pangmatagalang epekto sa akin. Nag-aaral ako sa Nueva Vizcaya State University. Ako ay 1 st
year college ng Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management. Pakiramdam ko ay masaya na
maging bahagi ng mahusay na paaralan na ito kasama ang mabubuting kaibigan, matulungin at
mapagmahal na guro at mabuting pamamahala ng paaralan kahit na kami ay nagkaklase lamang
sa aming mga telepono at mga laptop. Mayroon akong mga pambihirang kasanayan sa ilang mga
paksa samantalang ako ay mahina sa iilan. Kung ihahambing sa mga pag-aaral, magaling akong
magpinta na tuwing ako ay may oras nagpipinta ako at marahil ang pagpinta ang nagpapagaan ng
aking stress. Ang payo ng aking mga magulang ay nagkaroon ng matalim na epekto sa aking
mga nakagawian. Naniniwala akong maggsasalita ako ng totoo at pinagsisikapan kong huwag
magsinungaling. Palagi akong pinapayuhan ng aking mga magulang na kung magkamali ako,
dapat ko itong aminin. Sinusubukan ko ang aking makakaya upang magawa ito. Alam ko kung
paano manatiling masaya sa bawat kundisyon. Dahil naniniwala ako na: "Ang kaligayahan ay
wala sa kung saan; nasa iyo ito. "
Ako ay isang napaka-adventurous na tao din at nais na gawin ang panganib. Gusto kong
gumawa ng isang malikhaing bagay bukod sa paulit-ulit na paggawa ng mga lumang bagay. Ang
pag-aaral ng mga bagong bagay ay isang bagay na lagi kong kinagigiliwan. Palagi kong ina-
update ang aking sarili sa mga balita. Kasabay nito, gusto kong magbasa ng ilang mga magasin
ng mga bata kung saan naroon ang iba't ibang mga kwentong nakaka-motivate. Itinuro nila sa
akin ang isang mataas na aral sa moral. At isang bagay tungkol sa aking sarili, hindi ako isang
kumpiyansa na tao. Palagi kong sinusubukan na makipag-usap sa bawat tao ngunit palagi akong
nahihiya at walang lakas ng loob na kausapin sila. Tulad ng bawat kababaihan ay may mga
kahinaan, gayun din ako. Medyo tinatamad ako sa ilang mga lugar na hindi ko gusto. Habang
ako naglalaro sa aking telepono, ibinubuhos ko lahat ang aking oras doon at hindi ito magandang
ugali, ngunit pinagsisikapan ko ang lahat upang talunin ang aking mga kahinaan.
 Lahat ng tao ay may ambisyon sa buhay. Ang layunin o ambisyon ay ang panloob na
hangarin ng tao. Walang tao ang makakagawa ng anupaman sa mundo nang walang pakay.
Kaya, tayong lahat ay dapat maging mas determinado tungkol sa ating hangarin sa buhay. Nang
walang mahusay na pagpaplano ng karera, mula pa sa simula, ang isang tao ay hindi maaaring
maging sa tamang landas. Ang isa ay kailangang magtakda ng mga layunin alinsunod sa kanyang
malawak na mga layunin sa karera. Kasalukuyan akong nag-aaral ng Tourism Management at
balang araw sa biyaya ng Diyos, ako ay magiging isang Flight Attendant. Dapat ako ay isang
mabuti at matapat na mag-aaral. Pagkatapos ako ay magiging isang kwalipikadong Flight
Attendant. Gagawin ko ang lahat ng iyon upang maging isang mahusay na Flight Attendant at
magiging taos-puso dito. Ito ang lahat ng mga bagay na nagpapahayag sa akin. Kahit na walang
mailalarawan sa ilang mga hanay ng mga pangungusap. Ang isa ay kailangang magkaroon pa ng
utos ng sarili bago magsulat ng isang bagay tungkol sa kanyang buhay. Ang buhay ay inilaan
upang mabuhay nang masigasig at may paggunita upang makagawa ng mabuti para sa iyong
kapwa tao. Isinasaalang-alang ang layuning ito, lagi kong hinahangad na paglingkuran ang aking
bayan sa anumang kakayahan na magagawa ko.

ASSIGNMENT (50 pts)

Directions: Make a news out of the following questions below. Encode your article on a short
coupon. Observe the standard format in writing a news. Font size- 12, font style- Times New
Roman. Note: *Please use the rubric as guide in writing your news story.

Which local varieties in your country have been the subject of public discussion? What were the
arguments for calling them a dialect or a (regional/minority) language?
 Usage of Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education

The Philippines is an archipelago in the Pacific with rich semantic and social variety. As per
the Ethnologue, there are 171 living dialects spoken in the Philippines today. Generally, this
etymological assortment has not been precisely reflected in administrative and instructive
strategies. The current constitution announces both English and Filipino (Tagalog) to be the
authority dialects of the nation, as both are spoken in metro Manila, the country's capital.

Making English and Tagalog the authority dialects of the Philippines are reasonable move,
seeing as there should be language that can be utilized to work together and exchange just as to
convey on both public and global levels. In any case, the sacred affirmation of these two
dialects as official and different dialects as helper takes a prejudicial tone when taking a gander
at how it resounds in different arrangements and in the open arena. The phonetic segregation is
available in the instructive framework specifically. For example, starting at 2011, the House
government in the Philippines was all the while researching cases when youngsters in
elementary school were rebuffed for not communicating in English. These events are normal,
and they originate from the perspective on English as the "language of achievement." It is
irrefutable, that youngsters ready to communicate in English will be better ready to impart in
worldwide settings.

Be that as it may, a solitary wish to show youngsters English no matter what, when combined
with discipline for utilizing one's primary language, is both mentally and socially harming. On
the mental level, a kid's feeling of personality is grounded in their native language. In the event
that kids are adapted to combine English with progress, they will progressively see their own
local language as unessential. They may not see the need to give it to the future, causing
inevitable language risk for minority dialects, a huge social misfortune.

Fortunately, things change and the Philippine Department of Education is demonstrating that.
DepEd is the new name for the Philippine government's schooling division. Until late years,
the division had been under the thumb of settler heritage, given up by first Spanish then US
rule. In talking with my dad about his schooling, he clarified that, "all the course books were
American, from U.S. organizations, including history books. The Philippine history we took in
was from the viewpoint of the [United] States."

Given this heritage, the transformed DepEd has tried to address the analysis of not giving an
adequate base to those wishing to seek after a college degree. To accomplish this, they pushed
a bill through Congress that totally upgrades the current instructive framework. There are two
significant segments of the bill that drastically change the arrangement of Philippine schools,
beginning in 2012.

The first is the augmentation of optional school. Preceding 2012, there was a 10-year long
schooling cycle. With this bill, the Philippines will embrace a K-12 cycle to guarantee that
understudies are set up to go to college when of graduation from grade 12.

The second primary part of the bill tends to the semantic separation that happens in underlining
English schooling, by executing Mother Tongue Based, Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE).
This model advances language of guidance in the native language of the school area, as
opposed to Filipino (Tagalog) or English. Notwithstanding, these different dialects will be
educated and fused into the educational plan bit by bit. Supporters of this methodology
highlight test cases programs in the Philippines that have been effective in assisting
understudies with acquiring full capability in the primary language, the public language
Filipino, and English.
There is additionally uphold for this technique from the United Nations (UN), in their
"Training for All" program. The UN has turned out on the side of the move, in light of the fact
that their own goal is to upgrade instruction, with the conviction that there should be public
acknowledgment of etymological minorities. By beginning with the language that one talks at
home, the hole in arrangement can be connected, and understudies can more readily get
familiar with the educational program.

The enactment is being executed during this coming school year. The primary worry that
numerous instructors have with this bill is the quickness with which the bill requests a change,
leaving educators feeling not ready for the sensational switch. The way that there are presently
13 years of tutoring for kids, as opposed to 10, requires an extended educational program that
instructors are not used to. It causes a few instructors to feel that they are insufficiently
prepared for such a cycle. Rechelle Guzman, individual from the office of trade in Pampanga,
Philippines, explained on the trouble of the language preparing change specifically. "There are
no accessible modules and materials or books to help our Mother tongue (Kapampangan)
educational plan." Without the appropriate instruments, the enactment's execution is at risk for
losing its viability.

Besides, the meaning of "mother tongue" is a combative subject, the same number of guardians
encourage their kids English at home. "First language" is deciphered by some as the social
language, yet others as the language educated from birth, whether or not it is important for
conventional legacy. Without a reasonable understanding, protection from the bill and disarray
inside networks will remain.

While questions and concerns remain with respect to the usage of this bill, advocates of social
protection do accept this MTB-MLE bill is a positive development. The hesitance of teachers
and chairmen doesn't really mean opposition. Guzman proceeded to state, in spite of the
difficulties, "Ideally we will have the option to completely agree with the native language
mediation in the educational program by the second quarter."

Those with hesitance can relax because of the achievement of the individuals who had
executed an MTB-MLE framework before the enactment. Among these schools is the Tarik
Soliman Elementary School, a state funded school situated at Brgy Sagrada Familia, Masantol,
Pampanga, in the Philippines, whose chief affirmed that they felt as though instructing in
Kapampangan, the language of their town, has been the best strategy.

Furthermore, urgently, this bill has opened up a public exchange about the phonetic variety in
the nation and how to manage homogenous English-based schooling. The memorable
enactment carries the issue to the bleeding edge of the nation's brain, as it influences the
eventual fate of Filipino kids extraordinarily. Thusly, the long periods of etymological
segregation, both purposeful and accidental, are currently being examined on a public level.
The bill's section likewise sends a reasonable message to those participating in etymological
separation, that it is a training that will at this point don't be acknowledged or disregarded by
the public authority.

The charge itself can fill in to act as an illustration for different nations looking for training
change. As No Child Left Behind lapses in the U.S., the U.S. would do well to think about this
bill when growing new arrangements. The MLB-MTE activity was passed in when a total
schooling upgrade was in progress. The time might be ideal for a U.S. endeavor at training that
precisely mirrors the nation's own semantic variety, particularly with regards to Indigenous
dialects in Native people group.
