BEED Graduate 1985

March is to meaningful for me and also for my wife. I graduated my Bachelor of Elementary Education in March 31, 1985 and six years later, March 31, 1991 my wife completed her BEED course too.

How wonderful to reminisce those unforgettable experience the very day that we marched in the same day but in a separate year.

I gave up some of my jobs and pursued my teaching ambition and achieved it satisfactorily. Teaching is my passion. I love teaching kids. I started as a seminary teacher in our Church. I wanted to mold those children as what Jesus is setting the example. It is in teaching that paves the way for everyone to be obedient and be faithful in keeping the Lord's commandment and be entitled for the greatest blessings in their life - eternal life.

Sustainable Development Courses

When people learn about the impact that they have on the environment, they start thinking of what the future is going to look like if things don't change. In recent years, sustainability has become a hot topic; people understand that they can't use finite resources without concerning themselves about how their actions are going to change the world for their children. Lately, there has been a big social push towards minimizing environmental threats through resource conservation.

What Is Sustainable Development?

Sustainable development is a different approach to consumerism; with sustainable development, people take the Earth's finite resources into consideration before they take part in regular consumer activities. Sustainability can mean many different things to different people, but most people equate it with renewable energy, agriculture and forestry practices.

A Moment Visit to our 46-year Tryst

What would be a feeling to recall the momentous event in our life that had transpired 46 years ago when my high school sweetheart and I were together along the seawall.

I remember 46 years ago today that it was almost twilight and I noticed that sun was about to set. The horizon was crimson red and the seawall where we stood was freely splashed by a rushing sea water from the peaceful municipality of Valladolid, 31 kilometers (19 mi) south of Bacolod City, the capital city of Negros Occidental!

We were seventeen years old then and we were third year high school. I was a pioneer student of La Carlota City High School and my sweetheart was a junior high transferee student from Saint Vincent Ferrer High School in La Castellana, Negros Occidental.

The first time I met her she was too mysterious. For that mystique attitude she manifested, my curiosity was tapped and I wanted to discover her unique personality. And the rest was one of its kind love story ever happened to us and why and why we were meant for each other.
