SPOTLIGHT: Angelo Pasco, The Struggling Isko of Antique

Angelo Pasco, PBB Teen Clash 2010's "Struggling Isko"
The Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010 has begun, and a big surprise to the University of the Philippines community came when an Iskolar ng Bayan (Isko for short) was qualified to enter the Bahay ni Kuya.

Angelito "Angelo" S. Pasco, a student of the University of the Philippines Manila - School of Health Sciences in Palo, Leyte, came as one of the new batch of teenage housemates in the newest spinoff edition of Pinoy Big Brother, the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010. His entry to the Big Brother House really shocked me as an Isko. Here's the video from the opening program (in Filipino):

Sadsad sa kahirapan ang naging buhay nitong si ANGELO. Sa Maynila sila noon naninirahan ng kanyang pamilya, pag walang pambaon ay nilalakad niya mula bahay hanggang eskuwelahan na may layong 7km. Nang mamatay ang kanyang ama ay umuwi ang kanyang pamilya sa Antique para doon na tumira.
Katulong ang kanyang nanay at halos walang perang naipapadala sa kanya para sa kanyang pag-aaral. Kaya naman nabaon sa utang ang binata, mula sa tuition fee, pagkain sa canteen, at nang minsang ma-ospital siya.
Nakitira din siya sa isang kaibigan na nagmamay-ari ng isang computer shop, dito siya puma-part time ng trabaho kaya naman minsan ay nakakalibre siya ng gamit ng computer
para sa mga projects, libreng pagkain, tulugan at paminsan-minsan ay naabutan pa ng kaunting panggastos.
Maging competItive kaya si ANGELO sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya para mabigyang katuparan ang pangarap na mai-ahon ang kanyang pamilya sa hirap? Maging daan kaya ang kanyang sad story para maging kaibigan niya ang mga housemate o masyado itong madrama na maaaring dahilan ng pagkaka-clash niya sa ibang mga kasama sa bahay?

What do you think when he entered the PBB house? Will he be worthy to be an Isko while in the house? Will he lift up or stain the name of the University?

ASL Q&A: Pagsangkap

Image
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

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

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
