Ang Makasaysayang Hatol ng Kalikasan

Sa paglipas ng panahon maraming bagay ang nangyayari sa ating buhay. Mga bagay na hindi natin inaasahan. Mga panibagong pagsubok na ating mahaharap. Tulad lamang ng isang matinding trahedya na nagmarka sa ating nakaraan na hindi natin makakalimutan kailanman.

Ika-8 ng Nobyembre 2013, niyanig ang buong Pilipinas dahil sa isang malaking pangyayari. Ito ay ang pagsugod ni Bagyong Yolanda mga lalawigan sa Bisayas bilyon-bilyong halaga ng ari-arian ang nasira ni Bagyong Yolanda at dala na sa pagkasira ang buhay ng mga nasawing mamamayan. Pati na rin ang edukasyon ng mga kabataan ay naapektuhan. Maraming mga paaralan ang nasira dahil dito at hanggang ngayon mahina parin ang pag-ahon nila lalo na sa mga lalawigang Leyte,Samar,Iloilo,Capiz,Antique at Aklan. Sa dalawampu’t dalawang oras na hagupit ni Bagyong Yolanda, malawakang pagkawasak,naburang komunidad at nasawing mga buhay ang iniwan nito sa atin.

Ang Bagyong Yolanda ay itinuring na siyang pinakamalakas at mapangpinsalang bagyo na dumaan sa kasaysayan ng daigdig. Pero sa kabila ng nangyari, tinulungan tayo ng Foreign Country Aid at tayo ay nagkaisa,nagtulangan at nagbuklod-buklod para sa pag-ahon natin mula sa trahedyang hatol sa atin ng kalikasan.

It is not just about going on top of the mountain, but also enjoying the view while climbing up.

Our journey is always cherished as we look at our school on how it nourished the young lives of our pupils. In every corner of the school, there is always a story for everyone to keep. We are also doing our best to make every memory a good one because it will eventually be a part of our pupils’ lives as they grow.

Solidum, OIC of the District, PTA, alumni and other stakeholders who guide and aspire better tomorrow for our beloved school. To the LGU headed by Mayor Rufino P.

It only shows that together through prayers and handwork, we can make things impossible possible.

I hope that our journey will still continue with heads up high and our hearts open for everyone. To our pupils who strive and work hard for their dreams, always appreciate your parents’ love and guidance because that would be your key to success. To the parents, don’t stop on guiding your children because they will always need it all their lives. To the teachers, have more patience and faith on our pupils for they will remember you as part of their growing up. To the graduates, always aim high because you are now ready to take bigger steps and always make a mountain out of it. Whatever may come to our school, success or even failures, I will always embrace it with high hopes and strength to breakthrough because in my desk, I will always considered our school the best and shining on top.

To God be the glory!

DCES joined the CMLI Convention in Baguio City last August 30, 2013. We travelled for 14 hours from all the vehicles we rode. Going to the uphill of Baguio, there we saw the sparkling and shimmering lights of the whole view of Manila. We also crossed on the famous Kenon Road, which is creepy, spooky and zigzagging kind of road. Then, we arrived at the Teacher’s Camp 10:00 o’clock in the evening. Our destination was very freezing and when we spoke, cold breath is coming out of our mouths. We were head over heels when four charming guys carried our trollies for us. Speaking of the guys, we then slept in our rooms and felt like there’s an aircon even though there’s none. Then, on bed, we had our sugar dreams.

Day 1, August 31, Saturday 8 am, we went to the administration building for our registration, filling up forms until 10 am. After that, we went touring at Mines View and many things attracted our eyes and

Ipad! Iphone! Computers! Mga makabagong teknolohiya na mismong nagdudurog patungong kahirapan sa mga kabataan ngayon. Tayo ay lugmok na sa kahirapan. Hindi na nakikinig ang mga kabataan sa kawawa nilang mga magulang. Ano kaya ang natatanging paraan para mabago ang kanilang isipan at mahubog sila sa pagbabasa? Ano?

Sa daigdig na ito marami na ang nagbago lalong-lalo na sa mga batang mahilig magbabasa. Nakuha ng mga makabagong teknolohiya ang kanilang atensiyon at kaisipan. Kalungkutan ang pumupuno sa aking murang isipan tuwing maiisip ko ito. Nawawalan na tayo ng pag-asa. Kaunti na lang at makakain ng kadiliman ang pangyayari na ang mga kabataan ay nagpapatayan at gumagawa ng mga karahasan. Ngunit hindi pa huli ang lahat. May pagkakataon pa kayong baguhin ang lugmok ng pag-asa ng kinabukasan, hindi tayo mawawalan ng pag-asa dahil ang pag-asa ay hindi nawawala. Lahat tayong mga nilalang ay dapat magkaroon ng sikap at determinasyon na hikayatin ang mga nagbabasa. Dahil ang katapangan at determinasyon ay ang natatanging susi sa kaunlaran. Sinisira nito ang despirasyon at kalungkutan na humahadlang. Kaya nating hubugin ang mga kabataan sa pagbabasa kung tayo ay naniniwala sa ating sarili. Atin silang tulungan at hikayatin sa landas ng maliwanag na bukas. Nakasalalay sa ating mga kamay ang tunay na pag-asa.

Aking napagtanto na wala tayong silbi sa mundo kung hindi

bought them. Then we went to SM City Baguio for lunch at Jollibee and went back at the camp for the Opening Ceremonies.

Day 2, September 1, Sunday, we had our 5:30 Reveille and mass. Then, we went in the hall for our breakfast and attended our Commission Discussions. A Commission Discussion (CD) is considered the heart of the convention where the delegates would be grouped into different commissions with other delegates with Ate/Kuya facilitator. Here, we will be discussing the different issues that revolve around the theme. Sounds boring right? Wrong! You’ll be discussing the issues through group dynamics which are basically games and activities that have meanings into them. 10:30 am, we attended each of our workshops.

Through this event, delegates are expected to gain more understanding towards the theme and how they can share the responsibility of instilling it in the context of their daily lives. 3 pm, finals of the National Hiphop Dance came, which we got 3rd place. At least, we reached that high even though we practiced only for 1 day.

Day 4, September 3, Tuesday, we had our 6 am reveille and went back to our rooms to rest because our Sports Fest is at 10:30 am. We still have 3 hours to rest. But we didn’t. We danced, we laughed, played and roamed around. Then, it’s time, so we went inside the hall for the Sports Fest. It is more than just sitting, listening, watching and performing. It is the time when delegates get to have fun and interact with everyone through fun games facilitated by our Kuya’s and Ate’s. Then, we had our lunchbreak. 1 pm, we attended the block meeting, took our snacks

and the LitMus. “Literary Musical”, the entertaining and fun culminating activity of the Commission Discussions. During the LitMus, each block performs prepared presentations integrating the lessons we learned from the whole CMLI Experience. Moreover, the LitMus provides a venue for self-expression, creativity, and lasting friendships. Evening came, we took our dinner and attended the closing ceremonies which the successes of the delegates are being recognized. We wore our most stylish and suave formal outfits as we bid goodbye to the friends we’ve made during our four-day stay in Teacher’s Camp Baguio City. 10:00 o’clock pm, to celebrate the final night of the convention or the disco socials, delegates are encouraged to wear the costume of their favorite “anime” character, while dancing to their favorite songs. And at the end of the night, they announced the Prince and Princess of cosplay which were decided by the audience themselves. We really had a good time and a showdown to our new friends and new foes in crumping. HAHA. We beated them and they got angry at us. We never mind them! Duh?! Then, we went back to our rooms, sweating and exhausted.

Day 5, September 4, Wednesday, our last day in Teacher’s Camp, they evaluated our rooms. Then at 10:30 am, we had our free time. 11:30 came, we checked out. It’s hard to say goodbye to the friends we’ve made. Huhuhuhu L

But it was fun. We’ll never forget the memorable times we had. Hey! My journal is not yet over! There’s more…

We went to Mines View to buy some souvenirs. Then, at Ebays, where we bought jewelry. Just cheap ones. Then, at Good Shepherd to buy some gifts for our families like peanut brittle, strawberry jam and many more. And, this is also the place where we got caught by the rain and danced under it. Our trip was still not over. We rode on a van to Manila and went to MALL OF ASIA!!! When we entered, for the first time, WOAH, it was an extremely immense mall. We were greatly amazed. We also saw figure skaters on the skating arena. We too, want to skate but our time was limited. So we bought fries and took some pictures while eating them. We took a taxi to the airport. Suddenly, we heard the flight attendant saying, “10 minutes before the airplane takes off”. We ran as fast as we could at that station immediately. People are staring miserably at us. WAAH! However, we’re just in in time to go back for the airplane to take off.

At last, we’re on the way back to our hometown, bringing the joyous memories and friendships we’ve made from Baguio. It was the most fantastic and awesome trip ever happened to us! Moments that are memorable? Yes, we can forget it, -only when PIGS FLY L

Graduation Thoughts! We’ve overcome great adventures and great knowledge which were given by the

knowledgeable teachers of Dingle Central Elementary School. The teachers of Dingle Central Elementary School offered us great knowledge, taught us discipline and love of country. We had great adventures within those years and now this chapter has to end here. Even though it is hard for us to accept it but we have to face that our elementary life has to end, but never look down because a new chapter has given to us and t is the High school life. We are looking forward to see DCES to shine brightly in the future. The love of DCES shall always be in our heart. Thank you very much… Adieu!!

Dingle Central Elementary School had been part of our lives for six years. We made many friends with many wonderful things with them. We encountered new things and discovered more about the world with the help of our dear teachers. Singing chorus in class, copying answers in exams, talking about people behind their backs, quarrelling with each other, playing around the field, and laughing out loud with friends - those are some which we can never forget. Thank You DCES for all the memorable things and lessons you left in our hearts!

-Cynth Ann C. Diente

We had many adventures, sad moments, funny times. I feel sad because I will be separated with my friends and my classmates because some of them will go to other schools. I will miss all my friends, teachers and classmates. I will never forget them. Thank you for everything you have done for us. Hasta la Vista….Baby!

-Xerxes A. Guanga

We thank the teachers for teaching us good moral and sharing their knowledge to us. I am also sad because we will be separated from our classmates and friends. I will miss them all and also to our beloved teachers, we will miss you and we will never forget you. Farewell to you, my friends.

Graduation is not the end, rather a new life, meeting new friends and facing new challenges. Bring it on!

- Valerie Joy Rates

For 6 Years in DCES, here I learned many things. Crackling laughters with my friends, naughty jokes and humorous talks, we also passed hard quarrels, hatred with each other but ok for tomorrow.

They’re like my brothers and sisters. All I can say is thank you for the love and joy you gave to me”. I will never forget this school, my classmates and our teachers.
