posal statement of Pondo ng Pinoy as they continued their advocacy of doing small acts together,
for a common goal and the good of all, that people are able to live their Christian lives to the fullest.
The Pondo ng Pinoy Community Foundation, Inc. came into existence came into reality through
the effort of Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales some 28 years ago. It is not just fund-raising in nature but
also a catechetical mission of uplifting the quality of lives of poor Filipinos.

Dear Ed Chief,
I thought that our campus is entirely an English Speaking Zone as what
they’ve said. But in my entire stay in this institution, I honestly seldom hear
students converse in English. Where’s that speaking Zone that they are refer-
ring to?
It is not bad to preserve and used our native tongue whenever we communi-
cate. It is the easiest way to express our sibcerest feelings, emotions and ac-
tions.
The problem is, the students find it hard to communicate even in just simple
sentences. English classes, are turning into translation session whenever stu-
dents are saying “Ms. pwede pong Tagalog…Tagalog nalang po…or worst
“Ms. paki-Tagalog nga po.” Some are hesitant to recite in fear of embarrass-
ment and ridiculed from others. Teachers often find the difficulty to let stu-
dents express themselves in their subjects.
Students sometimes speak in English but they just make it for fun. The Eng-
lish carabao (crooked one) was always the center of every laughs and giggles.
What’s funny on that? They are always laughing on their own mistake with-
out further realizing that it is not good at all. The level of learning.
Being in one of the biggest and the most established school in Lucena, every-
one should take part and exert in effoert for us to learn how to communicate
and express ourselves using the second language which is Engish. So, every-

Maryhill College, being a bit se-
cluded from the huzzle and buzzle
heart of the city, provides ample
grounds for peaceful and quiet study.
Through the years, MC remains to cul-
tivate students’ unique potential and
in-depth academic capacity.
As one walks through its long
roofed pedestrian lane, you can notice
the campus’ well-established buildings
carefully founded by busy hands and
creative minds throughout the years.
One beholds the refreshing coolness of
green trees rarely found in institu-
tions located in the city proper. Inside,
live the peace-loving young dreamers
that will soon be pride of the entire
province or even the world. This is truly
a paradise that encloses happiness, love
and prosperity.
Beyond the wall, on the other side
of that same long roofed pedestrian
await poverty-stricken fellow, almost
dying at heart, losing hope for the
misfortunes that befall on them. You
can see them with eyes wide open but

lane almost every day but do you ever

Our taek champs Lynard Adrian Rivera (6-Love) stamped the first spot in forms and first spot in sparring while Miguel Alexandre Bal-
adad (6-Love) seized the first place in forms and second place in sparring competition last October 9,2011 at Sariaya Sports Center .
―Luckily I manage to win against my opponents, though a bit nervous,‖ cited Rivera after being declared as champ.
The events were divided into individual, pair and team categories. Forms (poomsae) is performed by following a systematic time of
movement in a consecutive sequence against an imaginary opponent or multiple opponents. It consists of movements using the hands and feet
and interconnected techniques like blocking, punching, striking, thrusting and kicking. Sparring (Kyeorugi) on the other hand, is an attempt to
best each other in a controlled form of mock combat.
This was not the first time they won for the school. Truly, Rivera and Baladad were the type of Marian students that we will be proud of.

There is a new sport in town, Fingerboard. This is a working replica of a skateboard
that a person "rides" by replicating skateboarding maneuvers with their hand. The de-
vice itself is a scaled-down skateboard complete with moving wheels, graphics and
trucks. This device was invented by Cam Fox Bryant. Others that have been given
SPORTS TRIVIA credit to the improvements of the common fingerboard are Andrew Lenert Maffson,
Migz Baladad Cody Fegger as well as Timothy Puffet.
A fingerboard is 96 millimeters long or longer, and can have a variety of widths like
26mm (regular), 28mm (wide), and 29mm and up (extra wide). There are the 57mm minis and the 96mm regular
and the cruiser boards. Skateboarding tricks may be performed using fingers instead of feet. Most tricks done on a
fingerboard are the same as people do on skateboards.
Although barely "rideable," they were improved upon by the Tech Deck brand which mass produced a "rideable"
miniature skateboard. The first entertainment licensed fingerboards were introduced by Bratz Toys. Marian students
enjoy playing Tech Deck during their free time. This is a sport which is safe because no physical contacts and no vio-
lent movements are involved.
Now Fingerboard is not just considered as widely toy for the ages but now a popular sport in the new generation.
