~ We chose the topic of disabled persons who empower others who has disabilities.
There are two disabled person who tell their tales. The first is Alsee Bello, who was
born with a disabled arm. He had no idea why and how he had a short arm; they said
it was because of a "Pamahiin" , but he didn't believe them. In addition, he's the only
one in his family that has such problem. He faced discrimination while in high school,
but he never let it deter him; his awareness thought that he could achieve whatever
that normal people do. Even though he is in a difficult circumstances, he continue to
pursue his ambition. He also participated in sporting activities such as basketball and
a darts competition. He struggled to find work since he had a crippled arm, but he
never gave up doing what he was capable of, so he became a chairman in Bigay
Buhay Multipurpose Cooperative, and via his cooperative, he helped other PDWs
who were having difficulty in finding jobs. His wish for his fellow PWDs is equality and
the implementation of our laws that protect their rights. The second is Criselda, who
was not born blind but lost her sight as she grew older. She stated that having a
handicap is not necessarily an excuse for not accepting oneself. Her family is always
there for her in everything she undertakes. People believe that if you ’ve lost your
sight, you lose everything. They also believe that the only job that blind people can
do is massage, which is good and acceptable. However don’t stay on that kind of
mind set thats why she demonstrated that blind people can be professional teachers,
such as Criselda, a part-time faculty member at Dela Salle University. For me it
doesn't matter if you have a disability 'cause it's not any ones fault and it's not your
fault, one thing is wrong-- how people think and their prospective in each other
person because of that discrimination, inequality, stereotype and disrespect well a
rise. And that`s why disabled people think they're not good enough which is wrong
because disable people can do anything just what Alsee and Criselda do they show
that being disabled person is good at everything like a normal person do. This video
inspires me to be a good future teacher that does not discourage each individual because of
their condition and treats them equally so that they do not feel excluded. And they were
always confident in their abilities. If those with disabilities can turn the impossible into the
possible, so could the rest of us.

~ The video we chose is about "The story of the Filipino". It is the story of people with
disabilities. Alsee Bello has a disability in his hand and Maria Criselda Bisda has a vision
problem. As I watched the video about them, I was really amazed and inspired by their
positive perspectives. I am really amazed at the PWD’s who persevere even though they are
disabled. They are role models and should be emulated. I as a normal person, I also get
discouraged sometimes. This video especially motivated me to persevere even more in life.
Let us not give in to the weakness of our heart because we can do it as long as we remain
positive. Our disabilities are not a reason for us to give up. And as a future teacher, I was
encouraged that I could also do my roles even better. We all have our weaknesses, we are all
imperfect, so we must always remember that we have many trials in life to go through. This
video motivated me to continue to fight, even if we fall we must still be ready to get up. Alsee
Bello said that he does not view himself as disabled, because he can do everything. So we
must, too, be positive in life and always remember that we can. If PWD's can persevere, we
should be even more normal.
