Everything That Could Go Wrong Did Go Wrong But We Are Trying Our Best

letter from Apolinario Mabini to Marcelo H. Del Pilar (Manila, August 20, 1894)

I love reading through Mabini's letters so much but the side effect is that I want to go back in time and give him a break so bad

J.P. is in Baguio City, Philippines the next two weeks, teaching at Lutheran Theological Seminary of the Lutheran Church of the Philippines. He was asked to help out by his friend and colleague, Rev. Paul Nelson, who has taught there many times before. J.P. will be teaching the book of Hosea to 4th year students, and will team-teach Homiletics for 1st year students alongside of Rev. Nelson. What a great opportunity to dig into Scripture with fellow believers in Asia! Please pray for J.P. and Rev. Nelson, that they would be strengthened for this work. Please also pray for the students, that they would be encouraged by God's Word.

EDS 111 - About Myself

Greetings everyone!

My name is John Robert Lee, nicknamed JR. I graduated from De La Salle University (DLSU) with a Bachelor's degree in International Studies, major in European Studies and and a minor in Economic Studies. In my academic journey at DLSU, I co-wrote a thesis covering the European Union's human rights response on the 2015 European migration crisis and was a newswriter at The LaSallian (DLSU's official English-language student publication).

I enrolled at UPOU PTC to be able to further my career options with the goal of passing the Licensure Exam for Teachers and gaining the experience to teach in the Philippines and abroad (hopefully through Japan’s JET Programme or another opportunity in a different country).

I look forward for the EDS 111 (Principles of Teaching) course will equip me with the learnings and strategies that can make me an effective "modern" educator.

It's great to e-meet you all!

[SEA-Teaching] 2017.01.21 City Tour

We’ve got the news that by Saturday in the first week, we will be taken on do City Tour and we were very excited about it. We heard quite a lot about the places in Cebu and when we asked for a spoiler about where we will be going, Cassey told us we might go to some place in the mountain and the Temple of Leah. When I and Dea (excitingly) search on Google what is this Temple of Leah place, we are amazed and become more excited. Known also as Temple of Love, the place is amazingly beautiful (in Google) so we were really looking forward to going there.

Only later, we didn’t go there, too bad.

There was a landslide in the mountain and they closed the access to Temple of Leah. So. Sad. But well, there is always a reason to comeback and we will still go to do the City Tour. Around 11PM, dressed in our casual clothes we went to the first floor to meet Dr. Rita. She didn’t go with us, neither do Cassey and Jasmine but we were accompanied by other students from the teaching department. Meet with the coolest squad consist of Budz, a big guy who loves Korean drama and know most of the great place in Cebu, Therese, a girl with bright smile who happened to live near a beach, Rika, a nice girl who explains a lot of the Cebu history and Marion, a gentleman majoring in English. Together with the tour guide, we were off to go around the city.

We were given the schedule of our tour and yeah, sadly, Temple of Leah is not there (still can’t move on lol). Dea and I look at each other and whine over the fact that we can’t go there. The guide gave us snacks while we were on the road. The weather was sunny that day and in fact it was too bright. Own, who was sick the day before was as red as a crab. But this kind of weather was nothing compared to Pontianak, my hometown, though.

Our first stop is Basilica del Santo Nino. One thing that piqued my interest since the first time I came to Cebu is the Holy Child figure which I know as Santo Nino later. You can find Santo Nino statues almost in every corner of Cebu. From what the students explain to us, the Basilica was founded in 1565 and is the oldest Roman Catholic Church in the country. When we arrived, we were greeted by people who sold souvenirs. Key chains, shirts, you name it. They sold key chains for 100PHP/5 key chain which is kind of expensive, because later I found a far cheaper souvenir store, haha. Anyway, we proceed to the Magellan cross first. Magellan Cross is in a chapel next to the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino. It was a big cross, and I really loved the painting on the ceiling above the cross. There are a lot of candles surrounding the cross for praying purposes. Once we took some photos there, we went inside the Basilica.

When we crossed the gate, a big field greeted us along with the decoration hanging above us. Must be from the Sinulog festival which takes place the week before. We can see a lot of people gather together, praying, seeking bless from the Santo Nino. We proceed to go inside the church and the interior is amazing. It feels like I was in a European country.

There is a statue of I ‘LOVE’ CEBU in front of Basilica del Santo Nino, right in front of one of the biggest souvenirs shop in Cebu, Island Souvenirs. So, after we strike some pose we are off to go to the next destination.

The rest of the place I have visited is a bit of a blur, but we took a lot of photos there.

Then, after stopping in one or two places, we stopped by a rather small place. It was a house with rather traditional style but it’s pretty neat. It’s only the three of us the exchange students plus the tour guide who were coming to the place. At first I thought it was a restaurant since in the other part of the house there is a place resembles café but it turned out to be a museum! Casa Gorardo museum is the name of the house. We went inside, waiting for the guide to come. Few minutes later, a cheerful looking woman came into the room and introduce herself as the guide of the museum. She took us around, explaining about the history of Cebu first then took us to the Casa Gorordo. Casa Gorordo is actually the house of the first bishop in Cebu. Casa means house in Spanish and Gorordo is the name of the family who lives in it before. The house is a mix of traditional Filipino house and European house. What’s amazing from the house is it was made from blocks of solid coral and the window sill was made from shells.

We went around the house. Everything is taken care inside the house and still in the great condition.

We are a bit too excited taking photo around the house so we should really catch up with the schedule. Traffic in Cebu is pretty tight so we only have one more place to go before going home. It was already 4PM at that time so we rushed to go to the last destination. We were going to the Mactan Shrine where there is a statue of Lapu-Lapu. He was a king once in Cebu.

Before we going back, there is a small food stall outside the Mactan Shrine who sell Tempura, a food made out of fish. I had sore-throat that day but Dea tried. Later, she becomes a fan of Tempura.

Around 7PM we were going back to the school again. It was fun traveling around the city and getting to know the history behind them.

Leading Candidates The Next Pope: Who Are The Frontrunners to Succeed Pope Francis?

Source

Luis Antonio Tagle (Philippines)

Currently the betting favorite at 3:1 odds, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, 67, is considered a strong contender to continue Pope Francis's progressive agenda.

Tagle, an advocate for inclusion and evangelization, has significant experience leading the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples and was a trusted figure in Francis's inner circle.

AN: upon further research he heavily opposes abortion and same sex marriage

Pietro Parolin (Italy)

At 4:1 odds, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, 70, is one of the most experienced Vatican officials. In his role as the Vatican's Secretary of State since 2013, he has played a major part in diplomatic affairs, including sensitive negotiations with China and Middle Eastern governments.

Parolin is seen as a moderate theological candidate, someone who could provide stability while still maintaining some of Francis's reforms. His deep ties to Vatican bureaucracy make him a strong contender for those who favor continuity.

Peter Turkson (Ghana)

Currently at 5:1 odds in betting markets, Cardinal Peter Turkson, 76, is a well-known figure in the Church's social justice circles. As former head of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, Turkson has been vocal on issues such as climate change, poverty and economic justice.

Turkson's election would mark a historic moment as the first African pope in centuries. The most recent African pontiff was Pope Gelasius, who served from 492 to 496 AD. Born in Rome to African parents, Gelasius was known for his extensive theological writings and strong advocacy for charity and justice for the poor.

Peter Erdő (Hungary)

A leading conservative candidate, Cardinal Peter Erdő, 72, is currently at 6:1 odds. A respected canon law scholar, Erdő has been a strong advocate for traditional Catholic teachings and doctrine. He previously served as head of the Council of European Bishops' Conferences and has emphasized theological orthodoxy.

For those seeking a return to the conservatism of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, Erdő would represent a major shift away from Francis's approach.

Angelo Scola (Italy)

At 8:1, Cardinal Angelo Scola, 82, is a long-standing papal contender. He was among the favorites in the 2013 conclave that ultimately elected Pope Francis. Scola, a former Archbishop of Milan, has deep theological roots and appeals to those who support a more centralized and hierarchical Church.

His traditionalist stance makes him a strong candidate for those looking to pivot away from Francis's reforms, but his age may work against him.

All that debate a while back about what subject Jon would teach if he was a professor, what if I disregarded all of that and made it purely self indulgent. What if he taught animation. What if he taught Philippine art

EDS 111 - Module 1 eJournal Entry

A "Modern Educator” Should Be Flexible

The first module for EDS 111 titled “Foundations of General Methods and Principles of Teaching” made me realize the importance of being a flexible educator as the world becomes more interconnected and technologically advanced.

Pre-existing Views

As an aspiring educator with no teaching experience, my initial belief was that a model of a top-notch educator in the 21st century is someone with deep knowledge of the subject matter, who adopts education trends, and integrates technology in the classroom. 

My experiences as a student, such as leading group projects, presenting in class, teaching my classmates during group study sessions, and mentoring my newbies to become effective newswriters in my former student publication organization shaped my initial teaching beliefs. I saw satisfaction from positive results such as my classmate performing well in an exam and my mentee becoming a productive newswriter.

Realizations

However, the coursework I did for Module 1 made me reflect and question these assumptions deeply.

Becoming a modern teacher is also about being FLEXIBLE in teaching their students based on their unique strengths and weaknesses. One of the key principles I learned from Tiberius and Tipping (1990), is that there are many roads to learning and a teacher should understand the diverse backgrounds of their students and provide a variety of engaging learning activities and meaningful material that allow further realizations of their best and lacking knowledge and skills.

Hence, I now recognize that as an aspiring teacher, I should consider finding professional development opportunities to be prepared to handle the diverse needs and backgrounds of students and foster a safe and supportive learning environment for them to discover how to harness their uniqueness to their advantage. To do this, according to the professional development skills for modern teachers by Cox (2019), I must possess the traits of adaptability, creativity, and excellent communication in a classroom setting.
