VICTORY!

Hi! This is a summary of what I experienced on August 17, 2006 (the date of posting this message), The Davao Historical Quiz Bee. I experienced the most number of praises because of this. It is because I won as the champion of this prestigious contest. During the contest, I answered many tricky questions, but I answered most of them correctly. Nothing had gone wrong during the contest except the slow tallying of scores. The questions were about Davao City and its provinces, but during the Difficult round of this contest, the topics jumped to current issues. Many coaches of the contestants complained about that. Anyways, there were many schools that joined this contest, 49 all in all. This contributed to the shortage of materials and slowing of the score tallying. During the announcement of the winners, there were 2 people who tied the 3rd place, one from Lawana National High School, and one from Daniel R. Aguinaldo National High School. The prize was split into two. They only recieved 500 pesos instead of the initial 1000 pesos. Only one got the medal because the officials decided to make draw-lots. The one from Lawana recieved the medal. The 2nd placer was one from Davao City National High School, who got 21 points. She recieved 2000 pesos and a silver medal. My fellow Aileen Encarnacion thought that I didn't made it. But when the first placer was announced, she was suprised. I even jumped in joy when I heard my name. I recieved 3000 pesos and a gold medal, together with a certificate of participation.

When I went back to school, many people shouted in joy when they saw me. They greeted me their congratulations for they prayed a lot that I will win and their prayers were answered. Our school director, Mrs. Rose Cementina, was really happy that I won this contest. She was really proud of me. Teacher Kenneth Razo, my coach, shed tears of joy because she was really happy that I succeded even though that we reviewed only on a short period of time. :-) This contest gave me the confidence to be at the top. :-)

LOOK AT THIS!: Venta5, A Great TV Shopping Hit

Image
Look, ABC5's got something new! It's the newest - the first and the only locally-produced interactive TV shopping show, Venta5 (pronounced /vehn-tah-sing-koh/ ) It features products that cannot be found anywhere else, at the fraction of the cost. One of the best sellers of Venta5 is the Iron Mate Economizer , a Filipino invention. This cuts electric consumption produced by flat irons by over 50%. Isn't that amazing? Just put your flat iron on it and it automatically shuts off the power supply, but it preserves the heat of the iron. Another one is the Mini Spin Twin Tub Washing Machine. It is a twin tub washing machine, but it is half the size (and the price!) of regular washing machines. Great for condominiums, apartments and dormitories. Next is another Pinoy invention, the QB Stove . A very elegant but economical stove that uses charcoal as its fuel. Isn't that good? Want more of the specs of the products shown? Wanna see more amazing products? Watch Venta5, Monday-Sa

ASL Q&A: Pagsangkap

Hello readers! Another ASL Q&A question from a reader named Lencius Medina Jr. : I am a one-year old christian but biologically, i am 47 year old. i am an engineer by profession but am currently busy in my walk with Christ. Would you by chance be able to share with me the open-source pdf format of Pastor Noel Akuino Jr Pagsangkap? Is it possible to have it both in English and Cebuano version? Thank you and God bless you. Thank you, Mr. Medina for asking me this question: The Cebuano version of Pagsangkap (officially published as a book) is not yet available for release since I have to get permission from Pastor Alkuino for me to produce the PDF version. I could only give you the English version since it is not yet published officially. Attached to my e-mail reply to you is a copy of "Pagsangkap" ("Equipping the Saints" is its official English title when it will be released as a book) in PDF format. I hope that he would share these wonderful lessons with

Freedom From Lies With Hatred: Contamination From Deceitful Content Against The Church And How I Dealt It With The Truth

Image
As an advocate of Media and Information Literacy (MIL), I am very much knowledgeable of the effects of having to deal with fake news, disinformation, and other forms of manipulation of media and information in our society. I am thankful that I have been connected with an organization that advocates MIL and helps educators deliver the best practices for dealing with the media and information ecosystem in the country. Maria Ressa (Source: PBS.org) In the many years of being a Christian, I was tricked on social media to believe lies about the church, and there I would like to share what just came into my mind about lies laced with anger and hatred. I remembered the documentary "A Thousand Cuts" in 2020 featuring Rappler CEO and Nobel Prize laureate Maria Ressa about what she had discovered about the problems with the information ecosystem in the Philippines and why it has become a primary target of disinformation syndicates. Ms. Ressa said in the documentary, to wit: " Face
