Teacher's teacher

Sometimes we tell God how unfair He can be. Here is a girl, who is beautiful, graduate of a university in France, a model, an actress, the daughter of Sharon Cuneta. How can she have so much while many can hardly go to school, does not have a job if by chance she finished a course because she has no connection . . .? Then we hear and see that this lady gifted with so much wants to pay forward by extending her commitment as United Nation's World Food Programme national ambassador against hunger. Good decision KC. . .

With very few role models our young people can look up to, we are happy to note KC Concepcion Cuneta Pangilinan is doing her share. It is worth noting that we are in fact doing our share too, though not as publicized as KC's is. If you are a volunteer, keep up the good work.

Efren Penaflorida, CNN Hero of the Year, is a filipino, who tells us candidly he did not begin the "push cart school" but that he had good mentors who helped him follow the better path and so he volunteered his time to continue the "push cart" school while being aided to finish his education in Cavite State University. In the acceptance speech of Efren during the Award ceremony for the ten heroes, he encouraged us to "unleash the hero within us" for each of us is a hero and together we can become the change.

To my students in Peace Education and NSTP 2 (Community Immersion) you are now given the opportunities to "unleash" the hero that each of you truly is. Seize the Day!!!
