The S.R.C.C.President’s ReportHello fellow Lasallians!How was your Christmas break? Hope youall enjoyed it!It’s now back to reality for us students asclasses resumed after almost three weeks ofvacation. Indeed, the year 2012 left us withmany memories-some very inspiring whilesome were not as encouraging. Well,inspiring or not, I hope that whatever memorieswe gained last year made us all better,stronger and more motivated to face the newyear!Welcome 2013 with a bang! The firstday of the year is usually the day people listdown their new year’s resolutions. Have youmade your own list? New Year’s resolutionsare meant to give a person some goals to workfor during the year. It may be as simple aspromising to be more patient with one’ssiblings, or to sleep early, or cut down onchocolates, or be more obedient to one’sparents or to study harder. Whatever our resolutionis, remember that these are made toencourage us to improve certain aspects of ourlives, which we believe we still have to work on.As the year starts, we also enter the lastterm of this school year. Wow, time really goesby so fast! In a few months we shall be sayingour goodbyes to our classmates and teachers.But we still have almost three months to go,and your S.R.C.C. promises to make this termexciting and full of many surprises.New year, new hope, new chances!In behalf of the S.R.C.C. I wish you all a blessedand fruitful 2013! May the Animo spirit live inthe heart of each of us.One of the significant activities that the S.R.C.C.prepared this school year was the celebration of theWorld Teachers’ Day. In the said event Mr. Anton Rosasdelivered a heart-warming speech to all our hardworkingteachers. Read the S.R.C.C. President’s inspirationalmessage below. May it make us realize to value ourteachers even more.It is truly an honor for me to stand herein front of you on this very special program that givesrecognition to our dear teachers.Teachers are truly God’s gift to us. Day after daythey unselfishly share their time and knowledge in orderfor us to have a bright future. They do not only teachour minds, they also mold us to become upright anddecent individuals whom our families and the societycan be proud of.I have read of a Turkish proverb that says: “A teacheris like a candle that consumes itself to light the way forothers.” Our teachers’ dedication to their professionand their endless patience, despite our indifference attimes is one that is truly remarkable. I cannot imagineany other profession that would require such fortitudeand sacrifice than that of being a teacher. Teachersinspire us to dream, to discover what we can do and tobecome the change we want to see.In behalf of my fellow students, I would like tosay “Thank you.” Thank you for your generosity insharing your knowledge with us; for your patience andunderstanding; and for your dedication to your craft.We salute you for taking up this very challengingprofession that helps mold this generation and thegenerations to come.Young Observer 3

Lasallians, Confident!Shanen Bautista, 7BNO GUTS, NOGLORY!Truly it took tons of confidence for Miguel Ochosa to deliverthe Keynote Address during the 2012 Lasallian Scholarum Awardsheld at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel last August 29, 2012. Miguelshared his thoughts on the impact of media to the youth andeducation in the country.

RicardoLaguda FSC, President and Chancellor of De La Salle University,Br. Michael Broughton FSC, Associate Vice Chancellor for LasallianMission of DLSU. Below is Miguel’s enlightening speech.Br. Ricardo Laguda FSC, President and Chancellor, De La SalleUniversity; Br. Michael Broughton FSC, Associate Vice Chancellorfor Lasallian Mission; Lasallian Scholarum awardees, journalists,guests, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.It is unfortunate that I got an eye infection a few days beforethis program but I will opt to remove my sunglasses so that all ofyou will remember my HANDSOME face. I hope you do not mindmy left eye...I am Miguel Ochosa, a grade school student of De La SalleSantiago Zobel School. I am here to share my insights on the topic,“How media impacts the youth and education in the country.”During the preparation, I thought to myself, “What is media toThe Young Observerwould like to congratulateAbbey Felize Maranan(Batch 2022) and JillianPatrice Ching (Batch 2020)for their success in theAsian Junior Figure SkatingChallenge 2012 held inHong Kong.Jillian finished secondin the Short Program andbrought home the silvermedal for the basic Pre-Novice Girls.Likewise, kudos goesto our very own ice skatersfor their victory at theSkate Asia 2012.

me?” For me, media is a tool used to relay information. Being amedium myself today, I hope I can clearly put my message across.Allow me to share with you a typical no-school day for a studentlike me. When I wake up in the morning, of course, I pray, then,before doing anything else, I grab my iTouch. In this exact order, Iopen Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It is kind of a routine forme. After spending several minutes finding out what’s “trending,”I then head to the couch and watch a little tv. I surf a variety ofchannels from cartoons to National Geographic, to HBO movies,to Reality TV, to sports channels. Later in the morning, I head tomy computer to do my homework and I get to read the day’s newsheadlines through the Yahoo! Main page.Young Observer 6I am certain that the means of relaying information at presentis not the same as before. Technology is undergoing a continuousdevelopment at a very fast pace. As technology develops, so doesmedia consumption. The news I get from websites now may havebeen obtained from the newspapers before. The information thatwas usually derived from television and radio can now be foundon websites and in applications. With all honesty, I seldom readthe paper as I prefer the on-line version. This is caused by therapid development of technology, pushing the growth in numberof media options. What are these media options? I am sure thatmany of us, if not all, have accounts in social media. Facebook,Twitter, Instagram, you name it. Who among the youth wouldn’twant an iTouch, an iPad, and all the other newly released, upto-dategadgets? These are the very tools we need, and want,to get information-pieces of information that influence us in ourdecision-making, planning, and way of thinking, even in our wayof life. I believe that the kind of information we acquire from themedia of today might have an effect on the kind of leadership wewill offer in the future. It is a fact that today’s youth are tomorrow’sleaders. So, it is vital for journalists, and other media practitionersto be responsible and accountable in bringing out the facts orinformation for public consumption because even the youth hasdirect access to them.Did you know that the purchase of mobile devices is growingmuch faster than that of desktop computers? The youth of todayis consuming media at a quicker rate than before. As a result, wethe youth are more connected and exposed to media. Through ourdevices, we can see almost EVERYTHING. Media is a powerful toolbecause it can be used to educate and influence us. Especially intimes when parents are not there to guide us, we might be misledif the information presented is baseless. Even in social mediaContinued on page 7Jillian Patrice Ching in herwinning figureAnother laurel is addedto the cap of our RoboticsTeam when it finishedthird in the World RobotOlympiad 2012 held inKuala Lumpur, Malaysialast November.

where we are mostly exposed, our comments, thoughts, and posts, once sent, can be seen by anyoneand everyone. I have been taught to always double-check what I say especially in social media. Thisis a practice that all of us should do. Don’t we and shouldn’t we expect the same when we are theaudience?Before I end, I would like to share an experience of mine. There was one instance where I wascontrolled by my emotions and thoughts that I tweeted something carelessly, only to find out thatpeople started gossiping about it, simultaneously twisting the words around, almost getting my familyin trouble. This experience was an eye opener for me.Being responsible for the content we deliver through media is not only for the benefit of theyouth. Believe it or not, it is for the good of the country as well. If we desire to create a better future,this information age will bridge us going there. My dear journalists, you definitely play a great role inthis…Lasallians, proud Filipinos!Karen Bersamina, 7BThe Upper Grades’ Assistant to the Principal,Ms. Elma Dollente, revealing her fun side asshe poses with Ms. Linda Naputo, Grade 6Math teacherPangunahing katibayan sa pagmamahal saating bayan ay ang paggamit ng ating wika.

Second Graders ReceiveFirst Holy CommunionStephanie Singson, 7BLasallians, Christian LeadersMaria Noelleene Banez, 5FYoung Observer 8It was a special day for the second graders andtheir families when they received the Sacramentof the Holy Communion on December 7, 2012.Held at our very own chapel, the Sacramentwas very much anticipated by the parents of thecommunicants and well attended by teachers andadministrators of our school.The manner the communicants sang theircommunion songs and the enthusiasm theyshowed during the entire celebration were trulycommendable.Some of the communicants during the processionalritesThis article is about my experienceas a leader of our group project in ChristianLiving. Through this, I hope to encourageour readers to embrace one importantLasallian core value- being Christian leaders.Sir Ram Francisco, our C.L. teacher,challenged us to create a project thatwould show that prayer is a part of ourlives. Being the leader of our group, I askedmy group mates to give their suggestions.One member suggested that we make acollage. The rest of the members agreed todo the same. Since everyone liked the ideaof creating a collage, it was quite easy tofinish the task. In fact, we were able tosubmit a quality output on time.From this experience I learned thata leader, first of all, should listen. When Ishowed my group mates that my ears wereready to listen to their suggestions, theyalso listened to me. I also learned to bepatient and friendly as a leader. When mymembers saw that they could approach mefor any concerns regarding the project, theybecame at comfortable with me. Therefore,we created harmony in our group.Receiving the body of ChristParents participating inthe offertoryI would like to thank Sir Ram for theopportunity to show my leadership qualitiesin this one challenging experience that I willnever forget. His support and smart ideas,especially his funny ways surely made thework a little lighter for us to accomplish.
