ACED brings forth good news through "The Pen"!

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Good News! The Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED) is embarking on
a great journey to its 10th year anniversary to be held on February 2007.

ACED's battle cry for its 10th year anniversary is "A Celebration of Education
and Dedication". As preparation for the momentous occasion, ACED'S aspiration
for SY 2006-2007 is to be come most visible to the Ateneo community. In order
to realize this feat, ACED is reviving its official newsletter, The Public
Education Network (The PEN). Every 3rd Monday of the month, ACED will be
pronouncing the good news of quality education and genuine dedication.

This new and improved version will center on the meaningful success stories of
ACED's vital projects, its funding partners, schools and amazing volunteers!

THE PEN June 2006: Brigada Eskwela

BEcoming BEacons of Public Education
(A Celebration of Brigada Eskwela 2006)
Joel Mark B. Barredo

"...In 2003, The DepED launched Brigada Eskwela was realized to encourage and
enable Filipino communities to take part in the improvement and maintenance of
school facilities. It was deemed as a long-awaited call to a string of dismal
issues and problems facing Philippine public schools.

ACED has been involved with the Brigada Eskwela programs in its partner schools
at Payatas. This year, ACED led the Ateneo Brigada Eskwela in Payatas C
Elementary School (May 13), Payatas B Annex Elementary School (May 17) and
Lupang Pangako Elementary School (May 18)...After the Brigada experience, ACED
received feedbacks from our awesome volunteers...

...Ms. Aileen Francisco immediately answered when asked about her immediate
impression of Payatas C Elementary School (PCES), "Parang nakakasuka talaga ang
baho, muntik na nga akong mag -back out". But when she saw her persistent co-
volunteers and members of the community doing all the painting and cleaning of
classrooms--she deemed that one must ignore these ill-realities and must
concentrate on the cause of helping the school improve...

..When the team led by Mr. Tim Gabuna and Mr. Mon Bunag, got the invitation for
the Brigada Eskwela participation, they never had second thoughts in sending a
positive reply. Mr. Gabuna believes part of the continuing development of the
Ateneo employee is to be able to be passionately involved in social action..."

Freshmen Math Orientation Seminar

ATTENTION ALL FRESHMEN:
Have you heard of "RESECTIONING" in your Math classes?
RESECTIONING is done after you take your diagnostic exams for Math 1/11, and Math 18.
  • If you're currently taking up Math 1 or the basic track and fortunately pass the diagnostic exam, you will be transferred to a Math 11 class. (In short, HINDI KA NA BASIC! Hooray!)
  • If you're currently in Math11, and you passed the diagnostic exam, magaling ka! You will be retained in Math 11. But when you unfortunately fail the diagnostic exam you'll be transferred to a Math 1 class.
  • If you're currently in Math 18a&b (6 units),and you unfortunately fail your first two long tests, you will be transferred to Math 18a (3 units), which is a slower track.
Find out what it takes to survive Ateneo math!
FRESHMEN MATH ORIENTATION SEMINAR 2006
When: June 26, 2006 (Monday) 4:30-6:00PM
Where: SSAVR for math18a&b students

You will hear tips and information from former students and Math teachers thamselves. Plus, sample diagnostic exams for ma1/11 and sample long tests for ma18 will be given away to help you prepare for the upcoming tests.
Don't let math ruin your college life!

Katipunan Footbridge Update

15 June 2006

TO ALL CONCERNED STAKEHOLDERS
FROM ESTHER M PACHECO
ON KATIPUNAN FOOTBRIDGE GOING UP!


Yes, as the large Mayor Belmonte streamer on Katipunan across the Barangay proclaims,
our long-awaited Katipunan Footbridge is on the rise!
After speaking to the DPOS (Department of Public Order and Safety) and to the Office of the City Mayor, I got the following information:
  • The Footbridge itself is being fabricated in Bulacan
  • The Bridge should be up on Katipuunan within thirty days
So, folks, we can soon celebrate! We shall party!
Thanks to all of you who supported the signature campaign, wrote or called officials concerned, attended meetings at City Hall, or simply cheered us on.
Mabuhay to all who shall use the bridge or who have loved ones, friends, relatives, or colleagues for whom you helped to have that bridge built!

blueREP presents STAGES OF LOVE

Ateneo Blue Repertory kicks off its 15th year with an intimate musical act that is sure to warm the hearts of audiences as it explores and recalls the joys of precious first kisses, nerve-wracking first dates and epic first loves.

An amalgamation of well-loved OPM hits, Broadway classics and contemporary favorites that have come to touch our hearts through the years, STAGES OF LOVE follows the story of 5 couples as they journey through the crazy, entangled complexities of relationships and eventually discover their own definitions of love.

With musical arrangement and direction by Rony Fortich, the man behind the musical direction of Actor's Actor's Inc.'s "Once On This Island," and Trumpets’ “Honk” and “Noah’s Big Boat,” STAGES OF LOVE was originally conceptualized as a concert that featured musical theater artists, Roy Rolloda, Lana Jalosjos, Noel Rayos, and Jennie Nuyda.

Cartwheel in the Ateneo

CARTWHEEL in the Ateneo is an unaccredited organization that serves for awareness and advocacy of the Indigenous Peoples of the Philippines. The org aims to adress the pressing concern about the alarming ignorance of many students towards IPs. It is very sad to note that many students still does not know much about IPs and many are even naive about their unique existence.

With support from OSCI and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, CARTWHEEL IN THE ATENEO is born. As the daughter organization of the CARTWHEEL FOUNDATION INC., the organization envisions a school community where students are aware and understanding of the concerns of the Indigenous Peoples of the Philippines, open-minded and respectful to diversity, and equipped with the right knowledge on how to approach the issues regarding Indigenous Peoples so that they can be responsive and responsible agents of social development. This can be possible by activities such as reach out and exposure, helping in simple cultural/anthropological research and promoting advocacy and awareness.

Right now, CARTWHEEL IN THE ATENEO is in the process of completing its core founding group and drafting the necessary requirements for accreditation. And YOU (and your friends) are invited to join Orientation 2 at the Eliazo Basement Extention, Friday, 9 June 2006, 2-5pm.. FREE PIZZA! (pizza lang...) if you are interested to know more about the organization and get to know the IPs and take part in making our cause into reality.
