I Challenge Atenistas and La Sallistas

Tony Meloto, Gawad Kalinga president, in a lecture/speech/seminar with the Association of Parents and Counselors of the University of the Philippines Manila provides insights in the growing issues/controversies of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines final game between the DLSU Green Archers and the ADMU Blue Eagles.

In his speech, he discusses his programs for Gawad Kalinga, a non-governmental organization established to promote housing to the poor's and homeless. Building villages, GK proved to be successful as it promotes partnership to big corporations, politicians and religious and civic groups.

He inserted a short opinion of him regarding the P20, 000 ticket sold but originally bought as P325. This, according to him is stupidity and an act of displaying elitism as he quoted an article from the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

What is best about his speech is this:

"I challenge Ateneo and La Salle, paramihan ng matatayong bahay. Let them do something good for the nation. Instead of going to Araneta and fighting for something that is absurd, let them continue the fight with a noble cause. Siugurado ako, mapupuno ang Pilipinas ng berde at asul na village. I can visualize thousands of La Salle Green Archers Villages and thousands from the Ateneo Blue Eagles alike."

"I challenge Ateneo and La Salle to build a home for UP students, the UP students to be teachers without wages, and other universities to contribute to the betterment of our country."

I want to be ..

My graduation has been a memorable one since my close friends are there. But that is not what we are going to talk about.

After the elementary graduation.

My mom asked me, "What do you want to be?"

I answered, " I want to be a lawyer. A good lawyer."

LAWYER.

I always wanted to be a lawyer. I want to experience the sleepless night before the court battle, i want to do some thinkings and win a case, i want to be rich. You know, I can be an election lawyer and be rich in an instant. Or somehow, overprice my clients to be rich. I think my first reason about being a lawyer is because i love to talk. i love debates. So, its basically applicable to court battles, diba?

And my commencement exercise in high school was just finished.

My father asked me, "What do you want to take in college?"

I told him that I want to take up History in college. He was shocked about that. He didn't expect me to answer such thing. it's very weird for him. Philippines is one of the countries who don't offer much courses in history. In Harvard, degree course for history is considered honor course because high number of applicants choose history. But here, its like, what the hell are you taking? History? OMG.

My father asked me again, "What job will you get with that course?"

I answered him, "Pa, I want to be an FSO."
