The Itinerant’s Path

Better late than never to congratulate my advisory, the Saint Marcellin Champagnat Class. I know, you’ve been following my blog when and how would I post our class pictures especially that we became champions for Volleyball boys, Basketball and Dart in Junior division during last intramurals!

Your effort and determination are admirable since you were able to unite as one class despite and in spite of difficulties at first. Planning stage was difficult for us especially in choosing our best players for the different games during intrams. But when we were on our way to the College covered court, I was amazed with our section. Remember that you chose your name as “Crusaders” without knowing what does it really mean. The banner, which I personally made, was for all of you; ang-galing ano! Simple nga pero cool! Continue reading and give a comment » » »

Blogging was almost forgotten, tasks and responsibilities were in waiting to be done, and so on and so forth, whew! But then, after the Notre Dame Day, I was able to move again for the next activities that kept be busy during weekdays with my advisory and other students, which also consumed most of my weekends. Weekends for me are important; really important.

The next big event after the Notre Dame Day was my advisory’s recollection. I really convinced our Assistant Principal that I must be with them during their recollection. It was more than fun but to be present with them. That’s one of our spirituality, right? PRESENCE. Indeed, my students appreciated it much especially that one Mexican Brother, Br. Cesar Barba from Ad Gentes Davao was with us. For the fact that we had our meaningful recollection at NDKC Farm, we’re able to know one another better, which I believe, essential to our relationship in the classroom. Teenage quarrels, misunderstanding, teasing and laziness sometimes are obvious to them sometimes. yet I understand that it’s part of growing as a united class we can have. During the recollection, most were touch with stories of the facilitator. Some cried, some just kept silent after the processing. I hope that the recollection itself for them is now bearing fruit: to have a united class, dedicated in studies and have good relationship with one another. Continue reading and give a comment » » »

All Notre Dame schools here in Mindanao celebrate Notre Dame Day today. Here at Notre Dame of Kidapawan College (NDKC), it’s always a part of being a Catholic School to celebrate our Lady’s day. From the history of all Notre Dame Schools here in Mindanao, Mama Mary is honored by dedicating all the schools established by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI). Later, the different schools were handed over to different Congregations.

The Marist Brothers were invited in c.1945 to be part of the mission of the Oblates in Cotabato City. Some schools were given to the Religious of the Virgin Mary (RVM), Dominican Sisters (OP) and to the care of the Diocese of Marbel and Archdiocese of Cotabato. The Notre Dame Educational Association (NDEA) was created as part of of the goals to help build better futures of the young students from cultural groups/society here in the southern part of Mindanao.

First day of September is the first day of Ramadan here in the Philippines. According to the moon sighting, 35 countries starts on Monday, as calculated. But for me, the most important thing is not based on the phases of moon but on following the teaching of God in following his commandment. For us to attain salvation, we submit ourselves to the will of the Almighty and most merciful God.
