DWCU’s Elementary Pupils Reaping More Laurels!

Mr. Aldwin Sipin

 

In the recently held Division Schools Press Conference in Nancayasan Elementary School last November 3-4, 2010, the Divinians of the Elementary Department have proved once again that they are one of the forces to be reckoned with in the field of Campus Journalism. They bag the first place awards in Editorial Writing (both in English and Filipino), Copyreading and Headline Writing (Filipino), Editorial Cartooning (English), Sports Writing (Filipino), and Radio Broadcasting (English).

 

Redentor Immanuel B. Ridao (Editorial Writing and Editorial Cartooning, English) and Niña Charisse G. Evangelista (Editorial Writing and Copyreading & Headline Writing, Filipino) won 1^st place both in their respective slots while Mark Darwin C. Sampilo grabs 1^st place in Sports Writing and 2^nd place in News Writing (Filipino). The Radio Broadcasting Team led by Nicole Angela B. Bristol, with her teammates, Angel Leila L. Marron, Marie Angela M. Lorica, Carole Kaye C. Lomboy, Janssen Roselle T. Obusan, Francesca Marie B. Taganas, and Raphaell B. Ridao, were also victorious in taking 1^st place in Radio Broadcasting (English) along with some minor awards. Bristol was proclaimed the Best Anchor and Ridao (Raphaell) was the Best Presenter. The Divinians were also given the award for Best in Technical Application.

 

Other winners in the individual contests of DSPC from Divine Word College of Urdaneta include Eric John J. Salud (News Writing and Sports Writing – English, both in 2^nd place respectively), Janssen Roselle T. Obusan (Feature Writing in English, 3^rd place), Russell Allan A. Majarucon (Editorial Cartooning in Filipino, 5^th place), and Belinda Nicaella C. Borje (Photojournalism in Filipino, 7^th place). The Radio Broadcasting Team in Filipino also won 4^th place in their category.

Sadly, in the Radio Broadcasting category, only the first placers in both elementary and secondary will proceed to the Regional Schools Press Conference, unlike in the Individual Contests wherein the top 7 will qualify to the said event.

All the journalists mentioned above except the Broadcasting Team in Filipino have qualified for the RSPC which will be held in Vigan on December 7-10, 2010.

RESULT OF THE REGIONAL COMPETITION

DWCU’S READ-A-THON TEAM PROVED TO BE THE BEST IN THE REGION

BACARRA, ILOCOS NORTE, The Divinians who were sent by the City Division of Urdaneta to represent at the Regional English Olympics last October 15 defeated everybody else in the Regional Level. The team includes: Angel Leila L. Marron, Marie Angela M. Lorica and Jennifer Louisse D. De Leon with their coach Mr. Aldwin Sipin.

The delay of this report was caused by a controversy that until now still seeks justice from those who are in authority. Our Divinian Kids were not proclaimed as THE CHAMPION for the reason that they come from a private school and are disqualified to join such event.

Our Divinians were not sent by the school if not for the cause of the City Division of Urdaneta. For the City of Urdaneta our pupils are qualified to join the Regional Olympics, we have no doubt about this fact. Our pupils passed through all requirements until the contest which they excelled everybody else in the region. Preparing for the awarding, the regional committee decided against our Divinian Kids – that they are DISQUALIFIED for the above-stated reason.

Let the disqualification continue. The truth is unchanging, it cannot be manipulated and cannot be covered forever.  We release and publish this information on the side of the truth. And the TRUTH is…

DWCU’S READ-A-THON TEAM PROVED TO BE THE BEST IN THE REGION.

DWCU Team Readers Upsets Other Divisions in Regional English Olympics

In the recently held Regional English Olympics and Read-a-thon Contest in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte last October 14-15, 2010, the DWCU pupils who participated in the Team Reading event of the Read-a-thon contest,  won with an impressive margin from other contestants, taking away the title as Best Team Readers of the region.

The Team Readers of DWCU, namely, Angel Leila L. Marron, Marie Angela M. Lorica, and Jennifer Louisse D. De Leon, showed right from the beginning of the competition their determination to win and take home the prize not only for their school but also for the Division of Urdaneta City which they represented in the said event. The contest, which took place in Bacarra Elementary School, started with the Reading Time wherein the participants were held inside one room to read the chosen stories by the Education Supervisor, Mrs. Teresa Morales, for a given time. The Team Readers, including the Oral Interpretation and Story Retelling contestants, of the 13 divisions that participated were each given a table for their reading activity.

At the end of the allotted time, the contest proceeded to the second part of the competition, the Comprehension and Vocabulary Test. The DWCU Team Readers remained flawless in notching a score until the tenth round answering questions that range from easy to difficult, and multiple choices to fill in the blanks. By the 11^th round, the team took their lone mistake of the competition but after that took off with successive correct answers leaving behind and sealing their win against their competitors. The Urdaneta City Division (DWCU Team Readers) was proclaimed as the champion, Ilocos Norte Division finished at second, and San Carlos City Division at third.

The DWCU Team Readers became “unproclaimed” winner during the awarding ceremony. Instead, the Division of Ilocos Norte was proclaimed as the winner for the Team Reading contest.

In other competitions of the said event in Bacarra, two more pupils of DWCU represented the school. Redentor Immanuel B. Ridao participated in Essay Writing and Shaina Mae Cuison for Poem Recitation.

Congratulations! Justice, Peace, Integrity of Creation Club

The DWCU Joyfully Welcomes

the Birth of JPICC

The spirit of the 3rd Campus Pastoral Assembly of the DWCU that brought to fruition the 5-year Pastoral Plan of the institution continues to inspire the students and the faculty to implement the resolutions of the assembly. The Committee on Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation recently called for an assembly that brought to nativity the JPICC  the brain child of Mr. Reynald Mamasig. The founder of the club then writes:

Justice, Peace, Integrity of Creation Club (JPICC) is the youngest club of Divine Word College of Urdaneta, High School Department. It is founded to respond to the challenge of promoting and protecting God’s creation based on Arnoldus spirituality. During the assembly last August 5, 2010 the members made a commitment to uphold the four core values of Divine Word Education Association (DWEA) such as integrity, social responsibility, excellence, evangelization, by carrying out environment-related and social welfare-enhancing activities such as tree planting, adoption of Barangay, forum on climate change and youth-oriented issues, seminar-workshop on waste segregation, putting -up a mini-creation spirituality park, and site visitation/nature trip. In order to flesh-out these activities, the members were organized into three committees – Internal, External and Finance.

THE DWFC WELCOMES

26 SEMINARIANS

FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR 2010-2011

Today the whole Catholic Church celebrates the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul.  Both were martyred in Rome in the first century. They tirelessly worked for the spread of the gospel, not only to the people of Israel, but to all the nations as well. They risked their lives in the process and gladly poured out their blood in loyalty to their Master, the Lord Jesus Christ. As Paul so eloquently stated in his second epistle to Timothy, they courageously fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith (2 Timothy 4:7).

HAPPY 35TH ANNIV APO JACK

DECISIONS

(by Mark Stanley Pangonilo)

We were once little children not knowing what was right or wrong.  We couldn’t decide if we should go that way or other way around.  While growing up, we encounter new challenges.  These challenges require us to think harder to decide what we should do.

As life goes on, decision- making is badly needed for each individual. Unconsciously, we make decisions the moment we grasp our breath from deep slumber until we resign in each day. It’s a part of reality…

As a student, I make tough decisions that can change my future.  It’s choosing between life and death.  The decisions we make while studying reflect whether we continue to reach sweetness of knowledge and adventures of life or embrace the clutch of ignorance on us.

Everyday, we are making decisions that can possibly change everything.  Like what Fr. George’s Britos said, “Life is a matter of choice”.  We should learn to live in a world full of decisions not regressions.  We should live in the present, learn from the past, and work for the future.

Now that I’m caught between two diverging roads, I’ll have to face a new chapter of my student life and make another step on the ladder of my growth, I never regret what I have done during the past years in my life.  I’m happy that I have done those things despite their bitter – sweet teachings to my whole being.  I just can say that making decisions is not that hard if and only if we look on both sides of possibilities and we listen to God.

We can’t persuade others to decide for us.  Each of us has his/her personal world and capacity to make rightful decisions. Let us not allow anyone to take t away from us…

Before I end this, I would want to express what I feel…Thank you for making me realize that the track I am walking into is the right path in reaching that precious goal in the end.  Finally, I want to leave a mark in your mind…I want you to remember that you have to learn deciding on your own and stand on the consequences of your every action no matter how painful it may be.

Grow up! Be confident!
