Ka-Blog!

Finally done with the CWTS2 group from UP CMC today. I sat through four hours of group presentations that ranged from funny, to moving, to frustrating. Funniest were the coño kids who said things like “capitalist persons and worker things” as if they were talking about the latest shoe colors and not labor and capital relations in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. (Threatened my group that if I hear one coño speak from them I’d tear up my evaluation report and walk out.)

          I slogged through all of the presentations. I felt it was the least I could do in our last day with the students given I have not been with them everytime they were at Sitio Veterans.

          Would have loved to reprint my reports here. Pero huwag na lang. Baka lumaki ang mga ulo. Found out at least one reads my blogs. Also found out, I was the only mentor stupid enough to write reports on each! Nevertheless, they deserved it. If anyone in the group received a grade lower than 1.0, kasalanan na nila yun. Me, I was very generous. (Dr. Roland “Mohawk” Tolentino’s words, not mine.)

          Was a college instructor for two years. I handled community communications students from Miriam. I am friends with some of my former students. But I must say this group is one of my favorites. Walang maarte. More importantly, they endeared themselves to the Samakana community.

          I don’t know about the many other groups in this year’s UP CMC CWTS batch. But my group, they seem to mean what they wrote they enjoyed their experience. They now call themselves the Sitio Veterans Support Group.

            Pero, sana, gustuhin pa rin nilang dugtungan ang kanilang karanasan. The kids of Sitio Veterans still need help. Sana lumawak pa ang kanilang pananaw, lagpas sa sinubukan naming ipakita sa kanila. Sana maging myembro lahat sila ng Gabriela. Sana may mag-volunteer sa kanila sa Kodao.

          To be fair, some of them said they’d like that.

          Sana nga.
