#Week One

Alright Dameans! It's fashion Wednesday. See who we've spotted on trend who are fit for recognition.

Upon roving over the campus on a regular Wednesday, my team and I have spotted a few of the many who stood out.

Dress and skirts give off an impression of class and sophistication. But when varied with denim, graphic or print, the whole outfit transforms into a different one.

These ladies truly stood out with their OOTD.

Who says basics are boring? Updating their outfit with a comfy mix and match from their wardrobes, these ladies surely know how to dress up.

Men who know how to style always add that "pogi point" because it's always pleasing to see him comfortable to what he wears and how he wears it.

Well, these gentlemen are really sweet for the eyes - an eye candy I must say.

It doesn't necessarily need to be costly and extravagant. Simplicity is enough. And here's the bottom line:

Whatever your outfit may be as long as you are comfortable and happy with what you see in the mirror, then chin up! and strut it out. 

Dameans! Prepare for another wash day. Get the chance to be featured here because you'll never know when we'll spot you.

A little friendly warning though, always make sure you're following the dress code to avoid any mishap.

XOXO, The Fashion Police

ASEAN Integration 2015: Paving way for economic stability

        Normally, one of the primary goal of a leader of a certain state or country is to ensure that its economic wheels are driving the right track and in stable manner as well as being able to somehow withstand agonizing economic crises and recessions. While development gaps are being seen and felt globally, leaders of ASEAN or Association of Southeast Asian Nations built a reform in narrowing the development within member-countries of ASEAN.

        The Initiative for ASEAN Integration was launched by the ASEAN Heads of State at their summit back in 2000. This is a wise tactic and measure done by the ASEAN leaders considering the huge divide being sensed in various nations. The IAI carries the objectives of NDG or Narrowing the Development Gap and accelerating economic integration of the newer members of ASEAN. By simply hearing the goals and blueprints of the IAI, it can be found ambitious but unpredictable in a large scale. Considering the current economic pace of some ASEAN nations, it can be stated that the Initiative for ASEAN Integration is a great economic application for ASEAN member-countries thirsty for development.

        Here at home, reverberation of ASEAN Integration preparation shook the ears of franchisers and retailers in the country. They are already gearing up to face challenges and opportunities the said economic blueprint will bring along with it. As the objectives display, this will be more of a challenge and least of an opportunity for the Philippine business sector knowing that the country’s economic performance has been least expected to be gradual in terms of development. The Philippine Franchise Association president Franklin L. Go himself said that the economic plan is entailed with risks and stiff challenges, particularly for the ill-prepared. Hence, Philippine Franchise Industry needs a lot more preparation in order to avoid economic shock.

        Also seen in ASEAN Integration is further growth in tourism and employment. According to Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima, member-countries of the ASEAN attracted more tourists than France in 2013. Tourism also plays a vital part in the country’s development. If our economic officials themselves are optimistic with the outcome of the economic plan, then it must be pushed through knowing that we ourselves are also glaring for support from neighboring countries in terms of tourism and employment.

        Efforts in enhancing economic development is, indeed, an objective that must never be taken for granted considering that it is here where people of the country depend their own lives upon as well. We rely on our economy, also, to monitor our economic progress by the help of large economic businesses and firms. We, people, also want to witness general progress on our economy so we should start it upon ourselves and never always wait for what the government can prepare and implement.

Night of Dances – University Week 2014

Night of Dances – University Week 2014

A snap of an arm there, a wave of a body here, and the crowd goes wild.

 This University Week’s Night of Dances is certainly different than the last’s Intramurals. Last year, the participants used foreign music to move their body into, but this year, they used our very own Original Pilipino Music (OPM) songs. Not only that, but our participants managed to incorporate a story into the steps that certainly captured our attention until the very end of their performance.

It never ceases to amaze us that whenever a song is interpreted, we not only hear the message but we see it with our own eyes and the emotion goes somewhat deeper into our core, all the more that the song is in Filipino. Therefore we can relate to it more than the foreign songs we love because it is in our own language.

Just like when you say ‘I love you’ to another person. When you say ‘Mahal kita’ instead of the usual ‘I love you’, it sounds more heartfelt and sincere.

Back to the subject at hand, there were two types of dances that our participants participated in. The lyrical pop dance, where they danced and interpreted the song of their choice, and the Latin dance, where they showed that they can move and groove even with heels and almost-no-rest type of competition. Kudos to the ladies who wore killer heels while still managing to look graceful under the pressure at their feet and thank you gentlemen for supporting our ladies all the way.

As usual, the colleges screamed their voice hoarse in cheering for their representatives and clapped their hands whenever they did something splendid. We cannot stress the word ‘support’ enough for these colleges. The judges must have felt their rebounding energy too.   

Like always, we want the first place, but not everyone can fit in the platform.

Missed the announcement of the results?

Heavy rain welcomes University Week

Just before the university week’s open, the university grounds were drenched in rain results to the cancelling of the opening ceremony.

The annual celebration usually starts off with the mass, parade and the program thereafter at the NDDU open field.

SSG president James Astilla said there will be changes in the program and activities for the week; some would be moved on the awarding and closing ceremony at the open field. Cloud breakers will be prepared in case of another rain incident.

While changes are to be made, students are instructed to wait for further announcements about the said matter.

Mr. Astilla ended his statement with words of encouragement, “Laban lang! Alive and alive!”

Donna Alagao, Hiyas candidate, said her thoughts about the incident. “It’s sad but again: think positive! Blessing siguro ‘yung ulan”

Yuki Kinjiyo, Radio DJ and student of the institution, was optimistic and said “It’s alright because the safety and health of the students are more important than sacrificing everyone to this kind of weather” He added students don’t deserve to get sick just to showcase their talent.

The university week is expected to run for five days up until Friday, February 14, with the theme “Marista: Pagyamanin ang kakayahan sa kasalukuyan upang makulay at matagumpay na kinabukasan ay makamtan”

Building Sportsmanship and Friendship

Is there a game that despite losing, you can still win? How could you play a “no-loser” game in a competition? What could the defeated person or team bring home? Competition­­--most people define it as a condition of contending to impose supremacy over the other which at the end there is a winner and a loser. To secure victory in a competition, a person or a team must be competent; able to perform beyond other’s capacity and have a unique exemplar skill over them.

Engaging in sports is a choice. And this choice should always be coupled with sportsmanship in which any competition is anchored. Whether a person or a team is into table tennis, basketball, soccer or running, its essence should instill to everyone. Each participant should nurture the value of fairness and respect so that everybody can enjoy the spirit of true competition. Competition is not always about winning, but it is also about how one played the game.

Competing without any privilege is a silly thing for many. There is always an expected reward that motivates the involved parties. But take note, not all competition requires an external consequence; there is an immeasurable intrinsic achievement when it comes to winning a competition. And that is, friendship which goes together with sportsmanship. In playing any form of sports, building friendship among the competitors is the most awaited part by many players. They primarily compete and aim to bring home the bacon in order to uplift their own self and school pride. But during the do-or-die struggle, they strengthen camaraderie and rapport among their rivalries and colleagues which is truly the heart of playing sports. Whether you lose, you can still bring home the greatest prizes in sports, and those are sportsmanship and friendship.

Building the culture of excellence is clearly shown between the ADDU Blue Knights and NDDU Kingfishers during their friendship game 2013. As the game ended, sportsmanship and friendship ignite the fire among individuals. As students, we must manifest these two vital words to attain an intellectual thinking that forms brilliance both in our hearts and minds.

War: who’s to blame?

WAR is sometimes a "necessary evil." But, it is still evil and it should be avoided at all cost. In the absence of war, we have peace where growth and development can prosper. In armed conflicts or violent hostilities – war, whether amongst political movements and local communities or between nations and allies, will always be more costly in terms of social disruptions and economic destructions (Abarece, 2013).

The month of September seemed a frightening commotion to the people in Zamboanga City as the war outbreaks in the place between the colonial Philippine occupation soldiers and the Bangsamoro freedom fighters of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). Various reports include the city schools, public offices and businesses closed; food, medicine, toiletries, and other basic needs supplies running out; thousands stranded as commercial flights and ferry services were suspended; and at least 60 people have been killed and 52 wounded. Thousands fled their homes as some were used as human shield and hundreds of houses were burned down to ashes.

Who will be accountable for the damages and injuries? Who will shoulder the costs of rebuilding the lives of the thousands of civilian victims? And the biggest question is, who to be blame? Is it the MNLF or the government or we, the nature of people?

These questions bothered many Filipinos not just those who lived in Mindanao. It occurred because of personal interests and desires to take something from its enemy. Both the government and the MNLF should ponder about the possible effect of this conflict. When one request is not granted, a revolution immediately occurred that produced “War”. War is not the solution to such misunderstandings and disagreements of disapproved requests because at the end, the innocent people will be the most affected. Sometimes such mentality of development for one’s own good delivers undesirable result.

Many would think it’s the MNLF who to be blame because they started the killings. They did immoral acts to Filipinos because of their selfishness, yet many of us failed to look on the real reason why this group plotted this way. The government has also a big part in this war, especially on the way they responded to the terrorist’s intervention of asking for a do-or-die battle. Instead of making a process of fixation on the problem in respect to September 2, 1996 MNLF-OIC-GRP Jakarta Peace Agreements, the government withheld an off-thinking decision of war. It is the duty of the government to protect its state that is why they have said they did what is the best for the nation.

Whoever started or caused it, each one is accountable to act for peace. Each one has the tendency to think for his or her self only, but should at the same time consider the majority. The greediness to power may lead to unhealthy and disastrous living in this world. Instead, of cooperating and making every necessary action to maintain the harmony, we have the attitude of wanting war to exist in order to get benefit from it. Thus, we have no difference to the MNLF who we labeled as selfish people. Taking advantage of war for one’s own interest is an immature way of looking into it because this may destroy what is important to us, both family and society.

Whatever is the reason behind the credulous war in Zamboanga City, one thing is sure it brought no good to everyone because many lives have lost for such mischievous act. It may shatter life that will shed tears and blood. This will also hinder each one to live together in progress for an aim to improve. It is the fact that war need to end and it will depend on us: MNLF, government, and the people. Pointing fingers will never solve war, but instead pointing and giving emphasis to peace talk as well as resolution will do better. Who to be blame? No one knows, yet we have the right to say and support for PEACE rather than WAR because at the end if this war will continue, no one will win, both will lose.

High Price-Rice Commotion

One afternoon on July 11, 2013 at around 7:00 p.m., I arrived home. Feeling tired and awful, I decided to sit on one of our chair furniture in front of the television screen. I turned on the TV and leaned my back to relax.

            “…This sector grew 3.3 percent in the first three months of 2013. This is triple the 1.1 percent growth it recorded in the same time period in 2012. That is why we continue to sow initiatives that will certainly bear the fruits of even greater progress for our farmers…” a familiar voice caught my attention when I approached the TV screen. “Oh! Today is his SONA”, I exclaimed. I seriously listened to the replay of Aquino’s 3^rd State of the Nation Address. I felt really like an innocent child on what he said about the improvement of the country maybe because I only heard or watched over the news- about the economic development- yet haven’t experienced it.

            As a student, I’m aware on the burden of our country because I’ve been into it, but such appraisal on his SONA was unexpected. I continuously listened and he continued talking about his ways to decrease problems on poverty and crimes as well as the progress of living under his administration. Korina Sanchez and Ted Failon reported the situation outside the Malacañang. Such a historical SONA in our country makes many people wait for another hopeful statement from the considered most trustworthy President in the Philippines. People were interviewed and many still admired Pnoy in despite of some issues regarding his leadership.

            “Such a funny thing that happened in the market”, my mother told me from behind. “What?” I asked. “I’ve been in the market to buy five kilos of rice. I was shocked with its price- now from the normal range of Php. 30.00 - Php. 35.00 to Php. 38.00 – Php. 50.00. The usual household ingredients like cooking oil, spices, jams, milk, and utensils or materials used at home also have uncontrollable high prices.” she said as she put the groceries on the table. “…the vendor bragged and said, ‘high price commodities are due to oil price hike…’ when I’ve asked him, why?” she added.

            My mother was amused and told the vendor sarcastically, “Did you add gasoline in your rice?!” We both laughed as my mother stand and went straight to the kitchen.

            I’ve been thinking that my mother was joking, but she showed the reality behind Pnoy’s positive declaration of economic growth. Despite the perception that Pnoy took a “tuwid na daan” towards life betterment, many people haven’t seen it or even felt a bit of it yet because though he took the straight path, other officials procured the opposite one. That is why the latest high price commotion bothers many Filipinos; some says there is a rice shortage, others proclaim that it’s a hoarding agenda. Whatever the reason, Filipinos are the most affected with this issue. We cannot escape from poverty if diverged personal interests arouse from the individuals in the government. If government continues to take advantage over the whims of its countrymen, surely we will remain a poor country; hard works and labor of the Filipinos will remain useless. The issue on Janette Napoles and three senators proved the greediness and selfishness of some people to power without even thinking about the possible negative effects to their nation.

            But though this is the reality today, one thing the Filipinos should remember is to keep the fire burning for hope that there will still be change in the future. They should never stop smiling and working hard to live no matter what the price is or what the cost will be.

Filipinas or Pilipinas?

As the month of June was about to end, a new issue arouse in the country leaving this question unanswered, “Is it going to be ‘Filipinas’ or ‘Pilipinas’?”

Before we answer that let’s first discuss how this question came up to the news. According to the recent update, a resolution was moved that instead of using the ‘Pilipinas’, it will be revolted to the name ‘Filipinas’ as the official name of the country. The aim is to promote the country’s official and modern name that would definitely mirror the country’s history and development along with this month’s ‘Buwan ng Wika.’

Furthermore, they intend to scrap first the name ‘Philippines’ since it showed that the Americans’ rule was still retained in the minds of the Pinoys and also the name ‘Pilipinas’ since this name was just used as a substitute to the original ‘Filipinas’  because letter ‘F’ was not existing in the past abakada. Though everything that is spelled in ‘P’ is not required to be changed into ‘F’ such as ‘Pinas’ to ‘Finas’ and ‘Pinoy’ to ‘Finoy’, still it would affect a lot of sectors in the whole country.

For us students, we can never imagine how enormous the impact will be to our simple lives. Can you ever imagine, watching Ms. Universe Pageant, and then the candidate would say “I am Ms… 26…. Representing ‘Filipinas’!” Well, it’s a bit awkward. Even that idea would make us laugh. But it’s not a joke. Although it may appear to be one, the point is it’s hard to change a habit or a custom. That’s why, if we are to ask that question, is it Filipinas or Pilipinas, the common answer would probably: a.)‘Filipinas’ nalang para maiba, or b.) ‘Pilipinas’ nalang kasi nakasanayan na, or c) ambot oy, pakialam ko dyan.

Whatever will be our answer, their decision to change the spelling was already fixed. Although the changes will be a processed, it will surely come to pass. And soon, it will just be normal to use the new name.

No matter what name will be used, may it be ‘Finas’ or ‘Pinas’, we will still be the people that the world had known -  the people who faced fear from death march, the people who fought through swords of in waters, and the people who died for their own country to be free.

#Justiceforcindyrosevillena

The NDDU Community condemns this bestial act of killing a young lady with big hopes for herself and the family. We pray for the repose of her soul. We condole with the bereaved family. And we continue to seek for justice as we urge the authorities to exercise their powers to bring the perpetrator(s) to the arm of justice. I urge the administrators, faculty, personnel, students, alumni to plan an "ACT OF SOLIDARITY" to ensure that we cannot remain silent, indifferent and helpless. If we don't do our share to make our communities as safer place, we "die" with Cindy and other victims of violence and injustice in our country today.

-Bro. Manuel de Leon-
NDDU President 

'

The tragic death of Cindy Rose Villena, 18 years old - 3^rd Year Mass communication Student of the institution saddened the NDDU community especially the Mass communication Students as well as the College of Arts and Sciences.       

With this, the NDDU community gathered as one to have a Solidarity Procession and Prayer Service for Cindy Rose last January 29(Wednesday) and was enjoined to wear white shirt with black ribbon tied on the right arm to condole, express sympathy, outcry and search out for justice for the death of their fellow Damean.

The solidarity procession started around 5:00 pm from NDDU Open Field-Roxas Avenue-OLPGV-Ramon Magsaysay Memorial College-Pendatun Avenue and back to NDDU Open Field. Then, followed by the prayer service with the sharing from Justin Dominic Cayanan(Mass Communication Student/Friend of Cindy), followed by Professor Salvador Bagaan and then Ms. Charish Lyn Villena, older sister of Cindy Rose.

“She is a good and nice girl na maraming gustong ma-achieve”, as what Justin would describe Cindy Rose. He also added about the signature “wedge sandals” that Cindy would usually wear every Wednesday. Professor Bagaan on the other hand describes Cindy  as “Retouch Queen”, who usually retouch and holds mirror at class, “Kahit na paminsan-minsan napapagailtan ko yan, masakit para sa akin na makita na bakante na ang upuan ni Cindy”. Professor Bagaan also quoted “Protect the People and Serve for Justice” in the last part to end his sharing.

And then, Cindy’s sister shared that even if they are siblings they aren’t that showy with each other but they really do love and care for each other. “Kahit na masungit ang kapaitd ko malambing siya, smilling at jolly, talented din sya.”, says Ms. Charish Lyn.

Lastly, Bro. Manuel utter a message to everyone that what happened to Cindy Rose serve as a lesson to all and that life is fragile and he world is surrounded by either kind or violent but still the justice of God will forever prevail.

                Swerte ka karung araw kay makarecieve ka ng gift galing sa imung mga friends. Makahilak ka kay pareho sila ug gift sa imo. Lifetime supply ug deodorant. 

Tao nga demalas: imung katupad.

               

 

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

                Makafeel ka ug kalaay kaya wag ka magtingin sa imung dagway. 

Lugar debwenas: Obviously, sa lugar na walang samin para hindi mo makita ang iyong dagway.

Paalala: Hindi hawak ng mga stars ang ating future 'pagkat sila ay maaaring makapagbibigay sa'yo ng inspirasyon o ilusyon. Hindi kailangan paniwalaan kung hindi naman kailangan ng adventure. Ang mahalaga, hindi ka nagcocontribute sa air pollution.

You’re wrong grammaring!

You like me to teach something else you want? Come on! Let’s go.

English is one of major major language in earth. If you can speak it, it’s your lucky. Good for you. Anyone can do it, its just the matter of the fact. They say that if you’re good in speaking the English, your good at it and you can do it and you can say “YEHEY!” so speaking in English is easy. Simple steps are followed to do it.

First, you must know the words in English. Of course, you can’t tell in English if you don’t know it. Such an useless if you don’t know it.

Second, conversation to others is a must. How can you tell in English if you don’t conversation. Tss!

Third, in classroom raise your hand and recite in English. My parents did said that when reciting speak in English, it’s a best exercise, so you must.

Last, find a grammar teacher. Because you see this paragraph? I know you don’t see because you  read, full of English but wrong grammaring, if you can find one, tell us, to check this, if ever you want.

By the way, if you can speak or not in English, the best way is you can express your feelings no matter what happening will happen on your happy life. The important is you tell everyone what you want.

Kpop or Ppop?

“Na eureureong eureureong eureureong dae
Na eureureong eureureong eureureong dae”

“Na sa’yo na ang lahat, minamahal kitang tapat

Na sa’yo na ang lahat”

KPOP or PPOP? Kung kayo ang papipiliin anong mas gusto niyo sa dalawang iyan?

Sa panahon natin ngayon, nauuso na talaga ang iba’t ibang genre ng mga kantahin.

Hindi katulad dati na ang mga kanta ay yung mga tinatawag nating, kantahing bayan. Uso pa dati-rati ang mga kantang “O ilaw, sa gabing madilim”. Ngunit ngayon, ibang iba na talga, lalo pa’t nauuso na ang “KPOP”.

           

Ang KPOP o Korean Popular Music ay masasabi nating isa sa mga trending na musika sa ating henerasyon. Ang mga kabataan ngayon ang masyadong nahuhumaling sa mga Koreanong sumasayaw at kumakanta. At isa pa, magaganda at mga gwapo rin ang hanap ng mga kabataan ngayon sa KPOP. Isang halimbawa ang EXO, sila ngayon ang masasabi nating pinakasikat na grupo ng mga lalaki sa industriya ng KPOP. Pinauso nila ang kantang Wolf, Growl, Mama, at marami pang iba. Napakadaming mga babae ang nahuhumaling sa kanila. Meron ding Girl’s generation, Bigbang, Shinee, Got7, Winner at napakarami pang Kpop group stars. Ngunit ang isang tanong lang, tayo bang nakikinig sa KPOP ay naiintindihan natin ang kanilang mga kanta? Nakakapag-aral pa ba kayo dahil sa kakasunod niyo sa mga bagong balita tungkol sa kanila? At kilala ba nila kayo?

Ang PPOP, sigurado akong alam niyo ang ibig sabihin ng PPOP diba? Ito ang mga kantang gawain ng mga Pilipino, tulad ng Na sa iyo na ang lahat, Alaala. At napakarami pa. Napakaganda nga naman pakinggan ng mga katang naiintindihan mo, lalo na’t may ibig sabihin yung kanta. Ngunit, may ibang hindi  nila type yung kanta ng PPOP, may iba pa nga na ayaw rin nila sa kumakanta nito. Atsaka may ibang hindi nila hilig ang PPOP, di natin sila mapipilit kasi kagustuhan nila yun ehh. Ang tanong lang, naaapreciate mo ba ang kanta nating mga Pilipino? O sadyang wala ka lang pakialam sa mga kanta ng sarili mong lengwahe? At bakit kinicritisize natin ang mga sintunadong kumakanta ng PPOP?

Totoo ngang iba’t iba ang hilig nating lahat. Hindi natin pwedeng husgahan ang isang tao sa mga gusto at ayaw niya lalo na sa musikang gusto niya. Sabi nga nila “music is a language” sa tagalog “ang musika ay isang lengwahe.” Kung ano ang nararamdaman mo ay pwede mong iablin sa musika. Depende na yan sa iyo kung anong klase ng musika ang magpapasaya saiyo. KPOP or PPOP? Walang PAKIALAMAN!
