8 - Their Lives depend on Your Donations!


Our School had an Outreach Program on the 6th of July, 2013, which is in 
'Hospicio De San Jose, Quiapo Manila!' 
And I’m willing to go to, when I was in the Bus... I was thinking how the people looks like in Hospicio, do I’m going to  scared or have pity on them.
When we arrive, I was curious because the place is full of silence, I think me and my fellow classmates only are the one who making noise. Our teachers tour us, going to the place where Lolo’s and Lola’s together with some special children located at.

To be honest, I’m also scared when I met them in the first moment. But when the second time around... they are playful and friendly. And we had fun dancing with them, talking and making some jokes, especially to those Lolo and Lola that we had time to talk to them.
And the one I’ve met was Lola Maria Concepcion! She’s about 76 years old. She doesn’t have family. A husband and a child to be exact. She told me that she is very happy when they have a visitor like us.
And so I ask her...
-‘Do you have siblings, Lola? ‘
-She answered, ` Yes I have, and actually we are 8 siblings. ‘

And then, I’m thinking what my next question to her is.
But I think it was very hard for her to answer when I ask, why did you here?
It’s very sensitive right!?



After we had talk to the Lolo and Lola’s, we moved to the Toddler’s section. They are crying when we saw them, the sister told us... they are ready to sleep, that’s why they are crying. After that, we visit to the babies room, I think they were oriented already. Oriented to make a smile when we saw them. They are very cute; even they smile, crawl and cry! I wish to have a baby too... In the future!:)

The Chapel of Hospicio are good to visit, to pray to take some good shot. It was preserve to be beautiful since 1810.  The Antique Station of the Cross were saved not to be broken. I noticed some image of their sister who blessed and posted on the wall of the Chapel.




I was thinking again after I ate my lunch, where are they eating, where they get the money to eat. Mr. Ramil, our Guidance Counsellor told us that they were depending only to the donations that they got from the donors. And I was sad to hear about that, If there is no donation, How their lives go on? Even I wanted to ask some Lolo and Lola, why are they here? But it’s prohibited for us to ask them about it. Where are they relatives and family? It’s not sounds good if you will hear the reason that they are put them by their family it’s because they are busy in their work, gaining their money! Take note:


“There’s no place like home, except Grandma’s! “

18 - Anti-Smoking Campaign!

Am I a SMOKER? In the Philippines, one of the branch of the government that promoting an Anti Smoking Campaign will be the MMDA or the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority. You can always saw their slogan, poster and even a sticker that are posted in public transportation vehicle and even at the malls or in a highway.  In the poster, we always read the word "Smoke-free" means, you should not smoke here in this area where it is posted. But, is this really followed by some men and women who smoke a lot? Is this rule always implemented? Or it is just a rule? I repeat, Is this always implemented or it is "Just a Rule!"This question I want to ask for those people who wants to implement it. Are they really be followed by all the Filipinos in this country?  I think it is not. And I strongly can say that it is not totally rules. It is just a two words, "NO SMOKING," wanting every smoker to do it but in total it was not that strict to be foll

Another three weeks had passed. New topics, new activities and other stuff to do. Having a role model to society is a big factor to say that this country still needs you. And like me as a student, I have roles too. For the three weeks in our Information Security class, I am able to get familiarize with all the models presented in the class by Sir Justin Pineda. Organizing Security models is one topic we all been aware of. Sir Pineda was able to discussed three models. Bell-LaPadula model, Biba  and Clark-Wilson model. Bell-LaPadula model is describing to the access of internet and having the controls which can be labeled on any objects. An access control to all objects having the permission or a clearance to the said objects before you can actually access it. The model have a so-called Security labels which divided to its range. "Top Secret" is the priority. "Public" on the other hand is the least priority. Bell-LaPadula model is a kind of Security model where prot
