Can a Teacher be a Hero? Anyone who displays great courage or exceptionally noble qualities is a hero.

When I was a young child I had a great admiration on superman that I never missed to watch him on the television. But now that Im old enough to distinguish fantasy from reality , I have switched my admiration to a teacher whom I consider now as my hero that made me overcome my fear. A teacher who believes in my ability and capability. She is a teacher who encourages me to bring out the best in me. She always reminds me to have a self-confidence. Her gentle ways had released the courage on me to bring out the knowledge from my mind. She is approachable and I dont hesitate to approach her because I know that she is an advocate of love and understanding. She shares her abundant knowledge and gives us some pieces of advice to become better citizens. As Jose Rizal said, we are the hope of the motherland. A teacher is firm in her belief that through her undying effort to shape us intellectually, morally and spiritually we would be the kind of persons in our society wishes us to be. She instills in our mind that proper education makes a man easy to lead, easy to drive, easy to govern but impossible to enslave. A teacher is a hero. Not by using a sword to depend our country against invaders but by using a piece of chalk to make us knowledgeable and skillful so that we will be courageous to face the trials in life. Teachers are not to be ignored but to be recognized. Seeing us as successful individuals in the future is her contentment. Let us not forsake her. Let us strive so that in the future she will be happy and proud to say that we had made a job well done.

A pleasant morning to each and everyone. Have you ever thought of a way to make your day not only for today but for the days to come? Many of us who are here today might be thinking of becoming a businessman or a businesswoman. Businessman is engaged with business. Business is a commercial establishment in trades of goods, services, or both to consumers. It is also known as enterprise. Most businesses are privately owned or administered to earn profit to increase wealth of their owners. Businesses rely on the careful management of the capitalist. He must be a good leader who creates a work climate that encourages productivity. He has a skill at hiring competent people, training them and is able to deligate. A good manager who is skilled at strategic thinking, able to make a vision of reality, and able to confront change, make transitions and envision new possibilities for the future.

Business aims to respond to their clients needs. They create more ways to easily give clients satisfaction. There are two ways in getting touch with the clients. Broadcast and promote the product is one way. The other way is accessing customers feedbacks about the product.

Presidential Adviser Ronald Llamas Spotted Buying Pirated DVDs

The economic growth in our country is low. Government officials blame the lingering crisis in the U.S. which pulled down Philippines exports. They blame the string of natural disasters like the flood brought by storms. But the accusing fingers of many Filipinos print at the government officials. Recently, the Aquino Administration has been dragged into controversy because Presidential Adviser on Political Affairs Ronald Llamas was spotted buying almost P 2,000 worth of pirated DVDs. Malacanang admitted that Llamas stupidity has been causing

distraction to the Aquino governance. This top government official who was caught buying pirated DVDs had brought embarrassment for the administration which calls for Filipinos to walk towards matuwid na daan. The government is running after those who are engaged in pirated DVD business but here is a top government official caught in purchasing pirated DVDs. I wonder why this top government official patronizes pirated DVDs instead of the products that pay taxes to the government. Was he that stupid that he didnt know its effect to our country? He is not an ordinary citizen. He doesnt deserve to be in post. He is to be fired for having done something that he shouldnt have. The palace spokesperson, Edwin Lacierda, said that whatever sanctions to be imposed on him will be based on the investigation and the meeting between the president and his advisers. Llamas act was an embarrassment to the administration. As a government official he should serve as a role model in combating piracy in the country. It is important on public officials to behave in support of whatever drive the government has launched and one of them being the drive against intellectual piracy. With the blooming population of our country we must be united in achieving economic growth of our country. Dont buy pirated DVDs and smuggled products. Despite what Llamas did we should refrain from buying pirated DVDs and Cds. Let us not be affected by the issue on Llamas. Let us not doubt that the present administration is committed to upholding the law and international commitments to protect intellectual property rights.

Verse 1 Meron akong kwento Isang love story na Nangyari sa kanto Habang ako'y papunta saking trabaho Ay may tumatakbo at bigla nalang Kaming dalawa'y nagka-bunggo

Chorus: Ako'y nagtataka saking nadarama Nang makita sya ay kumislap aking mata Kahit ligaw tingin Sana ay yong mapansin Nang makumpleto ko... Ang love story ko

Verse 2 Nabigla ako Parang tumigil sa pag-ikot ang mundo Nang mag sorry sya at tinanong ako Kung OK lang ako Ang nasagot ko lang Natabig nya ang puso ko

Chorus: Ako'y nagtataka saking nadarama Nang makita sya ay kumislap aking mata Kahit ligaw tingin Sana ay yong mapansin Nang makumpleto ko... Ang love story ko [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/gloc_9/love_story_ko.html ]

Verse 3 Kahit anong mangyari Ay nandyan ka palagi Mga luhang di ko napigil dumuloy hinahawi Ng iyong mga ngiti na kung minsa'y hindi ko lubos Maisip kung bat pinagkaloob sakin ng diyos Ang isang katulad mo ako may makasalanan Ng aking gabay tunggo sa di maputik na lansangan Gusto ko mang bumitaw pag-asa'y laging ikaw At kung ako'y maligaw ang laging natatanaw ay iyong mga mata Parang mga salamin ang buhay ng aking bukas At tuba sa inumin kapag ako'y uhaw Ako lamang at ikaw pintig ng aking puso Na parang gustong isigaw Ang bawat letra na bumubuo ng iyong pangalan Paalam na salitang kailan man di natin kailangan At hindi ko hahayaang tayong dalawa'y

magkawalay Palagi kang may karamay hawakan mong aking kamay halika

Chorus: Ako'y nagtataka saking nadarama Nang makita sya ay kumislap aking mata Kahit ligaw tingin Sana ay yong mapansin Nang makumpleto ko... Ang love story ko

Ako'y nagtataka saking nadarama Nang makita sya ay kumislap aking mata Kahit ligaw tingin Sana ay yong mapansin Nang makumpleto ko... Ang love story ko Kinumpleto mo ang love story ko
