Right Information, Right Decision

After the very controversial Ampatuan Massacre, another serious incident ocurred in the country. This new event is the "talk of the town," today. Again, the government and it's fellow citizen, are arguing over this matter. What is this all about? Why is everyone commenting on this issue? I see, the Philippines is tremendously shaking again with injustice and insurgency between Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) AND New People's Army (NPA).

Last February 6, Saturday, there were 43 suspected communist rebels arrested in a resort in Morong, Rizal. The place was owned by Dr. Melecia Velmonte, a consultant at the Philippine General Hospital. Dr. Velmonte said that the 43 alleged New People’s Army rebels are members of a non-governmental organization training in community health. They are all health workers in the place. The training started February 1 and will end on Sunday, February 7, but the workers were arrested. There were four six-by-six trucks, a military tank and two police mobiles," said Velmonte. Her home was raided at around 6:30 a.m. “(The military) said they recovered a grenade and a landmine from one of the beds of the participants,” Velmonte said. But she suspected the weapons were “planted,” since the soldiers searched the rooms without anyone else standing as a witness.
The question is, didn't she has any information about these people whom she is working too. Of course not! As a wise man, he will not entertain strangers, right. He will not let his good reputation to be destroyed.

I go for the 43 alleged people on this concerned issue. Everything is not yet proven. Let the law do it's part.

How's AdEPT?

Our Advanced English Proficiency Training (AdEPT) last Tuesday, January 19, was outstanding. Prof. Grama is a very good teacher. Although half of the class didn't attend the subject, it didn't affect her mood in teaching us productively during her time. The main objective of AdEPT is to focus on building effective communication skills among English majors. We tuckled about accent (articulation, stress, linking, intonation), proper pronunciation of words such as orange, beauty, and pronunciation, and rules in English. Lack of vocabulary, incorrect grammar, and wrong pronunciation are some of the impediments of effective and god communication. She presented the ways to solve these. The answers are just read and practiced a lot. Also, we had this activity in which we were to present a conversation on any topic, using British or American accent. All of the presentations were unique and creative. We practiced how to communicate well through the activity. We had fun! Our present English status will be more improved. Thanks to Prof. Grama and hurray for AdEPT!
