Sheet to answer questions 1, 2, 3 and 4 (listed on page 2).

1. Outline the career of the nominee, including background on the nominee’s work or field of activity.

Sammy finished his Bachelor in Secondary Education, major in Mathematics in March 1992 at Saint Mary’s University, College of Education. Fr. John Van Bauwel, the SMU President, immediately hired him as high school teacher of SMU High School Department. Thus, he started his teaching career during the SY 1992-1993. Simultaneously, he also started improving his expertise by taking up Certificate Program in Chemistry and Master of Arts in Education, major in Secondary Mathematics.

5

In SY 1994-1995, he was commissioned to finish a Master’s in Physics Education at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. He was a DOST-SEI scholar. He finished it in October 1998.

Armed with enthusiasm, he did his best in teaching Mathematics and Physics among high school students. He was appointed Science and Math coordinator and at the same time SMU Science HS coordinator. He, too, started his Doctor of Education in Educational Management. After a school year, he shifted to Doctor of Philosophy in Science Education, major in Mathematics at Saint Mary’s University. He finished it, with Honors and Likha awarde, in April 2003. He is the author of the creation of the SMU Science HS during the SY 2001-2002.

Having finished his doctorate, he was promoted as Assistant Principal during the SY 2004-2005. He was able to introduce major innovations in terms of curriculum and instruction. He has written books with International Standard Book Numbers, namely: Worktext in HS Geometry and Science Research and Statistics.

In SY 2005-2006, he was formally appointed as the Principal of SMUHS/Science HS. He was instrumental for the clean accreditation of the SMUHS/Science HS for the next five years by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities. At present, he is the President of All the Principals of Private Schools in Nueva Vizcaya. He was able to achieve all these not because of material wealth but through patience, perseverance, spiritual empowerment, intelligence and hard work.

2. Provide information which will help the judges understand the challenges, problems, and scope of the nominee’s area of activity.

Samuel Soliven live a life full of misery and mystery. His innocence brought to his senses that he is one of the two sons of the second legal wife of his father. He lived in poverty – isang kahig, isang tuka. His father is a farmer without a farm but he tried his best to feed them honestly out of the small amount he got in exchange of being hired by farm owners in transplanting, weeding and harvesting. He thanked his parents because they inculcated in him the love of God – that He loves the poor.

But life became even more miserable, when at the age of 7, his mother died of leukemia. It was unfortunate that he had not felt fully the truth in the adage “mother knows best”. He learned to write his name SAMWEL not through a paper and a pencil but through the pointed knife and the dry and plain ground. He entered Grade I in the absence of a caring and loving mother. He thanked God he had a grandmother in the mother side who helped him.

His father felt the need for another woman in his life. They were legally married when he was 9 years old. His new family lived in the mountainous part of Bayombong particularly Bansing now more popularly known as Amococcan which is about 10–15 km from Bonfal East. Their means of livelihood included among others the following: pagkakaingin (farming in the slopes of the mountains), panaguwway (rattan gathering), panaglaga ti tiklis (basket weaving), panagsukdal ti sabunganay (gathering banana blossoms), panagala ti daludal (collecting taro shoots), agala ti pako iti bakir ken igid ti waig (edible fern gathering in the forest and creek). These were sold in the markets of Bayombong and Solano. His stepmother was cruel. This was his life until he reached the age of 20.

Going to school was never easy. After the Friday afternoon classes in Lingay Elementary School, he had to climb the mountains and go back to Lingay Sunday afternoon or dawn of Monday. This routine tempered his preparations in school with hardships and sacrifices all the way to his high school years at NVGCHS. There were times of not eating meals because he could not afford to buy some. For many times, he had to walk from home in Lingay to NVGCHS through the riverside about 3-5 km. He had to sell pan de sal and ice candy for a very small commission. He had to help wash dishes in the market in exchange of a free lunch.…He also emerged as a high school dropout at age 14… His stepmother did not want him to enter school again… These ordeals made him inferior, bitter about life, and almost giving up. He thanked his faith in God, it did not drop him off. He thanked the many people who sympathized and empathized with him. They were God-sent. He did not blame God for his misfortune. Samuel is a man with colorful, visionary and missionary life. He went back to school at age 16 as 2nd year JHS. The Philippine Educational Placement Test (PEPT) of the Department of Education made the favorable twists and turns in his life. He was promoted from second year JHS to First Year College but he opted to finish fourth year HS. He was able to recover his momentum in studying at age 18. Eventually, he finished high school, still with flying colors.

6

In college, he worked hard as a library working scholar or student librarian. He worked 4 hours a day in exchange of free tuition. He was like a twig that fell from a dying tree but Saint Mary’s University picked him up and sculpted him through the library working scholarship as chisels and the Bachelor in Secondary Education, major in Mathematics as the sandpaper. In 1992, he finished BSEd with the following honors: One of the Ten Outstanding Students of the Philippines, Region 2 and Most Outstanding SMU College Student. Eventually, he was hired as a high school teacher of SMU High School.

He did his best in teaching the youth. He immersed his life to the young ones. Full of idealism, he did his best to interweave God’s Love with Mathematics and Science. Because of these, he was sent to the University of the Philippines, Diliman to enhance further his teaching prowess under the scholarships of the Department of Science and Technology – Science Education Institute for the MAEd in Physics.

He went back and taught, shared what he learned not only to his high school students but also to his undergraduate and graduate students in Physics and Mathematics. He was a popular choice for every Division and even Regional Science and Math training. Eventually, he was a National Finalist in the 1999 Dr. Juan Salcedo, Jr. Science Education Awards.

He extended himself in the church and the community as he pursued his Doctor of Philosophy in Science Education, with honors. He was able to write his books for local use. He became known as active leader of the Knights of Columbus and Columbian Squires. He even shared his time during Sundays as teacher-on-the-air teaching Science and Technology in Ilocano for three years. His paper qualified for a presentation in an international conference in Hawaii. In 2003, he was declared one of the Outstanding Teachers of the Philippines by the Metrobank Foundation. The more that he was inspired to share his life to many. He and his wife Anivel joined the Marriage Encounter.

To his surprise, the US Embassy chose him as International Visitor recipient. He was featured in the book, “10 Outstading Filipino Teachers, 1985-2004”. So, he became more in demand in delivering professional, church and community services.

In SY 2004-2005, he became Assistant Principal of SMUHS/Science HS. After his 3-week tour in the United States of America, he was appointed the Principal. He became instrumental in the major success of his school for having passed the Level 2 re-accreditation of his school for the next five years by the PAASCU.

He was chosen as one of The Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) in the Philippines and was conferred the award on December 6, 2006 by no other than Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the President of the Philippines.

At present, he is the President of all Principals among private schools of Nueva Vizcaya.

His life has been meaningfully shared to his wife Anivel and children (Samuel Riemann, Samuel Heinrich and Samuel Levine, to the youth and humanity. All these, he is offering to God, his Creator. To God be the glory!

FOR NOMINATORSummarize the nominee’s most outstanding efforts that exemplify the principle expressed in the following line of the JCI Creed: “That service to humanity is the best work of life.” Please type.

As a professional educator/teacherSince 1992, the professional life of Dr. Samuel Soliven has been devoted to students age 12 – 16 in his

capacity as a high school teacher. As a Principal, he has extended himself so well to touch the lives of other people. The website http://hs.smu.edu.ph contains information about his school.Pagadalan iti Tangatang

This was a Sunday radio program meant to teach Science, Mathematics, English and Filipino to students and out-of-school youth of Nueva Vizcaya and even Quirino. It lasted for three years.

Through this radio program, Dr. Soliven was given a chance to teach on-the-air Science and Technology using Ilocano. He was able to communicate science concepts, principles and application to the Filipino youth clearly regardless of the location: upland or lowland. He believed that in his own little way of serving, he let the students and out-of-school youth experience how it is to be taught at home with a school subject using the dialect. Many claimed that Science and Technology in Ilocano is easy to understand.

Knights of Columbus and Columbian SquiresSammy is an active member of the Knights of Columbus, Fr. Lambrecht Council 3706. The K of C is an

international organization for Catholic man. This fraternal organization made him realize the importance of sharing his life to the church and the community. They usually meet and carry activities during weekends. His greatest contribution lies on his leadership as the Chief Counselor of the Columbian Squires. The Columbian Squires is under the K of C. In fact, it is the international organization of youth for ages 10 – 17 years. He loves the Columbian Squires so much that since his appointment in 1999 (even until now) he simply loved crafting and doing activities with the younger generation of males. He has instilled in them the values of education and Christ.

9

Marriage EncounterSammy and his wife Anivel have maintained a dynamic relationship with their three children who are all

boys namely, Samuel Riemann (10 years old), Samuel Heinrich (7 years old) and Samuel Levine (4 years old) through the activities of the Marriage Encounter.

The service that they give to the ME community contributes a lot to the welfare of their family. They extend also this service to other families.

Stations of the CrossSince 1991, Sammy has been part of the re-enactment of the Stations of the Cross in the Bangan Hill through

the initiative of the St. Dominic Parish. He has played various roles in the dramatization to communicate to himself and to other Catholic devotees that the suffering of life is very much related to the suffering of Jesus Christ.

Reyes Clan Association Sammy has not only extended himself to the church and to the community but also to his clan. As the President of the clan for the last three years (2003-2006), he has made it active and responsible. According to him, their clan is poor but they love one another. Through his leadership, the children in the clan get to know one another and they express the common theme of love.

Sammy is a service-oriented man. He loves and cares all the people that constitute the sphere of his existence. He believes and practices the Jaycee’s Creed – the service to humanity is the best work of life.

FOR NOMINATOR:Summarize within this space why you believe that the nominee should be selected as one of The Outstanding Young Persons of the World for 2007. Please type.

Dr. Samuel R. Soliven deserves the TOYP World award for personal improvement and/or accomplishment because he hurdled poverty through education. The death of a mother was fatal for him but his strong faith in God has remained steadfast. He sees life as an opportunity to serve others and inspire the poor through the teaching profession. He might be the poor of the poorest person and teacher in the world, but his countless efforts and attempts to empower others remain admirable and truly inspirational. He is a model youth of the world among the less privileged and underprivileged poor.
