Graduates to look back with a sense of gratitude
Br. Felipe C. Belleza
Jr. FSC, President of La Salle
Green Hills, advised the graduates
to look back with a sense
of gratitude to our patron, St.
John Baptist de La Salle as he
delivered his message during
the Baccalaureate Mass and
Graduation Rites of 64 high
school and 388 TVET graduates
for S.Y. 2011-2012 held
last March 16, 2012 at the St.
Benilde Gymnasium. He
added, “ito ang gabi ng pasasalamat,
pagpapahalaga, at
paghingi ng pagpapala ng
Panginoon.”
ANHS students have
proven that age does not matter
when it comes to studying as
testified by Jocelyn M. Yu, the
recipient of the highest honors.
She said that it was not easy
managing her time as a parent
and as a student, but she still
pursued her goals. Because of
“One in One Hundred”

and culminated through a Mass
Wedding.
For the first three days

students. SC organized a surprise
program where ANHS
students showcased their talents
through acoustic singing,
song interpretation with the
Deaf students, and dance number.
The presentations made
the entire community happy.
The celebration aims to
pay tribute to teachers who inspire
the students to value the
importance of education in
their lives and to continue
dreaming despite the challenges
in life. This also serves
as a reminder that teachers do
not only impart knowledge for
students to be educated and
learned, but also act as heroes
in their lives.

last year’s projects
Both the Kaagapay,
Kapwa, Kamag-aral (KKK)

search of next year’s officers
held at the Promenade last

Candidates for each
position were given the chance
to answer questions of the students
and to lay their agenda.
No one wished to change the
rules and projects of the SC,
but some mentioned about the
rules being implemented about
the use of cell phones during

Family Day ang ANHS na kung saan ay taun-taon itong ginaganap
sa iba’t-ibang paaralan sa bansa,” wika ni Atty. Alvin C.Flores,
Pangulo ng Parents-Employers’ Association. Dahil dito napagpasyahan
ng PEA na isabay ang pagdiriwang na ito sa Grand Raffle
Draw na ginanap noong ika-12 ng Enero, 2012 sa St. Benilde

Dagdag pa ni Atty. Flores, pinag-isipan nilang mabuti ang
mga gagawing proyekto sa paaralan kabilang na ang pagdiriwang
ng Family Day. Ito ay naglalayon na magsama-sama ang iba’tibang
miyembro ng ANHS community. Ang Family Day ay itinaon

lamang siya magiging bahagi ng pagdiriwang kung kaya’t labis
ang kanyang pananabik sa gagawing draw. Nagkaroon ng iba’tibang
palaro para sa mga estudyante, employers, guardians, at magulang.
Nagpakita rin ng mga natatanging bilang ang mga estudyante
at guro. Nanalo sa karamihan ng premyo ang mga mag-aaral
ng TVET. Pagkatapos ng programa ay nagkaroon ng agape upang

EDITORIAL
Useful or Not?
In every school there is a student handbook given to students
at the beginning of classes. It is also revised every year. But
the question is do students read the handbook? Aside from reading
it inside the classroom for a week, do they understand the true
meaning of what the school wants to plant in their minds or do
they just ignore it? What is the real essence of the handbook to
students?
These are only questions that bother us. If the students
really read and understand the meaning of the rules and regulations
in the handbook, there would be no more cases filed against
them. Teachers already did they part on explaining the most important
regulations. Students in turn have to do their responsibility
to read the rest of what the handbook says.
The handbook is like any other reading material for some
students that upon giving it to them they won’t give any effort to
read it. They will just throw it inside their bag or they will just
open it when the teacher said so.
Administrators and teachers revise the handbook every
year. This year is different because Student Council is soliciting
from the students suggestions on the rules that should be changed
in the handbook and the effect of that change to the students.
Why are they doing this? We do not know, maybe for the students
to be motivated to read the handbook today and to amend or
to remove the unimportant details in the handbook. These are just
opinions of the students.
The handbook is very useful for the students if they will
really read and understand its content. We all know that in order
for us to have a peaceful and disciplined ambiance, rules and
regulations should be implemented. For some good students, it is
not needed. But there is a saying that “when the cat is away, the
mouse will come out and play.” In fairness to the school administrators,
they are doing their very best to comply with the needs of
the students. They revise the handbook every now and then because
they want us to give fair treatment. Please do not underestimate
its value. May we learn it by heart because it will serve as
our guide in our journey here in ANHS.

EDITOR’S OPINION
Too Much or Just Right?
By Mariam Camille A. Tambio
Do you think having seventeen (17) organizations is practical
and useful? Maybe for others yes. But if you will just analyze the
situation of the organization, members, and moderators you will
think that it is not.
Why do I say so? There are organizations that have only five
members. Some moderators handle two organizations wherein it is
really hard. I am not saying this for this school year only, but I observed
it quite long enough to share it to you in case you have not
noticed.
Why am I saying this? Because upon my observation, there
are organizations that are not that visible. I may say we cannot feel
their existence. Why don’t we try to have fewer organizations that
are only useful and important to enhance students’ skills and talents?
This is only a suggestion which I hope could also change some students’
perception about organizations and for them to really choose
the organization that would best help them grow as individuals and
not because they are just swayed by their friends to join an organization
that they do not really like.

Along Our Journey
By Mariam Camille A. Tambio, 5-A
On our way to success we will meet all kinds
of people. Some will accompany you until the end.
Whether you experience ups and downs, they won’t leave you. But
some are just like leeches that will suck your blood and when you
are not useful to them they will just leave you.
People like leeches are very common in many places such
as schools, office, neighbors, and friends. Maybe the statement
“you can’t please everybody” is really true. But the question is
why do they have to use or backstab us? Why don’t they just ignore
us? Is it because they want to gather information that they can
use to put us down?
Why do these people exist? Is it also our fault because we
let them exist in the world? Perhaps yes, because they won’t exist
if there are no people who would let them. But ´we are just humans.
This is the common answer of people and it is also lame.
Why? Is it because you are human you will just let them do that to
you? Let me tell you, you are human that is why you have the ability
to think what is good and bad.
We just have to think of how we can be productive to our
society. In that way, we can even feel better because we have done
something noble in our lives and never wasted our time.
Always be aware of who is beside you, and never let
leeches suck you again because if you do, it will be the cause of
your fall. If ever you fall, stand with heads high. What is important
is you are able to accept the fact that you committed a mistake and
you are ready to correct the mistake you have made. This makes us
truly human, capable of accepting our faults for the better.
Hakbang ng Tagumpay
By Janet O. Mardido, 5-A
Ano nga ba ang hakbangin patungong tagumpay?
Paano ba natin makakamit ang nais nating
makuha o maabot sa buhay? Katulad sa aming magsisipagtapos
ngayong buwan ng Marso, ito ang aming pinakahihintay sa aming
buhay. Sa lahat ng pagod at sakripisyo namin, tagumpay ang kapalit.
Normal na sa isang magtatapos ang makaramdam ng lungkot
at saya.
Ang dami ng pinagdaanan na mga pagsubok sa paaralan,
mga karanasang hindi maganda. Siguro nga kasama talaga ito sa
realidad ng mundo. Kahit gustuhin nating takbuhan, ito ay mangyayari
uli. Ngunit sa ating pagtakbo mayroon naman tayong mahihintuan
upang samahan tayo.
Isipin na lamang natin na kahit may negatibong pangyayari
sa buhay natin, hindi din naman natin maaalis ang positibo. Kabilang
dito ang mga gurong nagsisilbing pangalawang magulang
natin. Hindi lang bilang guro ang kanilang ginampanan ngunit
kundi bilang isang tunay na kaibigan, ate, at kuya na din. Sa oras
ng kalungkutan palaging andyan sila na maaasahan mong damayan
ka. Nagpapalakas din sila ng loob sa pagkakataong tayo ay bagsak.
Kaya malaki ang naitulong nila upang tayo ay makarating sa hakbang
ng tagumpay.
Tunay ngang ang pag-aaral ay parang takbo ng buhay na
puno ng pagsubok. Ngunit sa oras na ito ay ating malalampasan,
masasabi nating tayo ay kasing tibay ng isang kawayan na walang
sinumang makakapagtumba, patuloy sa pakikipagtunggali sa mga
hamon ng buhay.
Kaya magkaroon man tayo ng problema, isipin na lamang
natin na ito ay parang isang pagsusulit na masasagutan din natin
basta pag-aralan nating mabuti ang kasagutan. Sa nilagi nating
panahon sa eskwelahan, tayo ay nahubog upang maging isang
matatag na tao.

Make Reading a Habit
By Pinky T. Agunod, TVET-Bread and Pastry Production
Travel the world, go back centuries ago, walk with
the characters from a fairytale, or fight side by side
with aliens and giants. It isn’t magic or time machine. Reading is
the answer. Reading can take you into places you could not imagine
possible. But this won’t work if you will just read of course.
You need to use your wide imagination just like what Peter Pan
said “think of happy thoughts to be able to fly.” It should not be
interpreted literally, but still worth it.
Reading is considered as one of the most popular hobbies
in the world. Nowadays, even if there are new and easier ways of
acquiring information, reading is still considered as its best source.
There are a numerous samples of reading materials, not only hard
bound or soft bound books, but also magazines, pocketbooks, and
even pamphlets. Even the movies that are being shown nowadays
are adaptations from the books that the people loved to read. Here
are just some of those: J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series, Stephenie
Meyer’s the Twilight Saga, Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code
and Angels and Demons, Nicholas Sparks’ A Walk to Remember,
Nights at Rodante, The Notebook, Dear John, and The Last Song,
and Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Stories. These captured
the hearts and soul of the masses.
Sometimes we can even relate with those stories. We
thought that the stories best described the things that happened to
us. We can connect with the struggles and heart breaks that the
characters in each story endured. Included are the things that they
did to fight to be happy and successful in the end. But it is not just
the fictional characters that have inspired us. There are biographies
of politicians, legends, kings and queens, celebrities and memorable
people that changed the world that we live in. Their lives and
stories inspired us to aim high in spite of the troubles and the barriers
in this cruel world.
What is Life after Graduation?
By Lorela V. Talingting, 5-A
What is life after graduation? This is a big question
that every graduating student has in his or her mind.
For some who are lucky enough and are financially capable of pursuing
a college degree, the only problem that they would be encountering
relies on their perseverance and own motivation. But
for students who are not that lucky, problems await them. Most
colleges and universities offer scholarships to those students who
excel in sports. How about those average students? College of St.
Benilde is offering courses for the ANHS graduates who are not
financially capable for them to be able to continue their Lasallian
education. We in the ANHS are lucky enough to have these kinds
of scholarships. The real essence of Lasallian education is to
change our lives for the better. Let us not waste this chance of a
lifetime.
I have always dreamed of finishing my studies, but because
of my choice to enter the married life at a young age I was
not able to do so. Opportunity knocked at my doorstep and I was
lucky enough to grab it. Now, I am about to graduate. For me, everyday
is a continuous challenge, experience, and learning process.
Just like everybody else, I also have that question in my mind. My
family serves as my inspiration as I go along the way. I have asked
some of my classmates and schoolmates about their plans after
graduation. Only few are sure that they would continue their studies.
Half of the students I have asked are planning to apply for a
job so that they will be able to help their families, however; they
also want to finish their studies. Some students do not have any
plan at the moment. Some are planning to relax and stop for a
while to enjoy. Teachers are encouraging students to continue their
studies and have a career of their own. Unless these things happen,
they cannot truly say that all the efforts, encouragement, love,
guidance, devotions, and perseverance are not wasted after all. To
graduating class, aim high! Reach for your dreams, be a successful
Lasallian in your thoughts, words, and deeds. Hail! Hail! Hail!

Namulat ako sa mundong ito na isa lang ang alam kong direksyon. Hinubog ako

Subalit sa paglipas ng panahon, para akong tuyong halaman na naghahanap ng
kalinga. Hanggang unti-unti kong nakita ang butas ng bubungan na tila ay kumakampay
sa akin at wari ay nagsasabing, “Lapitan mo ako, sumilip ka na makita mo ang hinaharap

bagay na ngayon ko lang nasilayan. Nanaig ang pagkasabik kong gawin ang mga
bagay na ginagawa nila.
Ako nga ay naging turong lagalag. Walang pakundangan at pag-aatubiling nagpatirapa
sa pagsunod sa yapak ni Hudas. Animo ay fireworks na lumilipad sa kalangitan at
isinabog ang kagandahan ni Maria sa ulap. Marami pang nahikayat at gumaya sa akin
kung saan mas matayog pa sa agila ang nilipad nila at dinaig pa ang bilis at lakas ng kidlat
kung magpamalas sa madla.
Ang mga ipinunla ng aking mga magulang sa aking isip ay tuluyan ngang naglaho.
Nangibabaw sa akin ang kaisipan at mga gawa ni Medusa. Hindi ko lubos maisip na ako
din pala ang dadanas ng kamandag na aking ipinalaganap. Ngayon ko napagtantong kay
daling sumabay sa agos ng pagbabago sa kapaligiran ngunit kay hirap bumangong muli
mula sa mga katotohanan na aking binalewala at pilit ko pang ibinabato sa iba para lang
malinis ko ang aking pangalan. May pag-asa pa bang matuwid ko muli ang baluktot at sirasirang
linya ng aking buhay?
Pinto ng Pag-Asa
Ni Renevilla E. Pumar, TVET – Commercial Cooking
Sa aking paglalakbay dito sa mundo ng buhay
Iisa lang ang tuwina tanong sa isipan
Bakit ba ang tao, dumadanas pa ng hirap
Kung ang dulo naman pala nito’y resulta ng pagsisikap?
Bakit hindi na lamang ibigay nang madali
Bawat kailangan, bawat kahilingan?
Ngunit namalas ko maging sa akin mang sarili
Para makamit ang tagumpay,
Pasisimulan mo sa pagbuo ng pag-asa
Para ka kumilos at patuloy na gumawa,
Bubuo ka ng mga kahilingang
Maghahatid sa iyong mga pangarap
Na siya naming magiging inspirasyon
Sa pagkamit ng tagumpay
Kung kahinaan sa paglaban, pakikibaka ay wala.
Matatanaw mo ang tagumpay
ngunit hindi mo ito mahahawakan
Mananatiling pinto lamang ang iyong makikita
Kung pag-asa nito ay wala naman sa iyong kalooban.
Ang pinto ng pag-asa, hindi nawawala at nagsasara
Hinihintay ka, pagpasok mo tuwina
Hangarin niya makamit mo ang resulta
Ng bawat paghihirap, tiisin na ginawa
Ang tanging habilin.
Magpakatatag ka sa buhay,
Matuto tumakbo nang tama
Pagsubok gagaan gaano man ito kabigat
Basta ang pintuan ng pag-asa
Huwag mo lamang isasara!
PANITIKAN
Pangarap na Natupad
Ni Renevilla E. Pumar, TVET – Commercial Cooking
Isang dahon na naman ang sa akin ay nalagas
Panahon kay bilis, bilis namang lumipas
Hindi ko ito namalayan, dahil sa aking kalibangan
Naising matuto sa bawat pag-aaral
Mga gawain at aktibidad, nakalulugod na salihan
Mga guro at mag-aaral, naging kasama at kaibigan.
Paano ko malilimutan ang paaralang sa akin nagbukas
Pagkakataon at panahon sa buhay na tinunton?
Lahat ng natutunan, ginamit sa pamumuhay
Katuwang ng pamilya, kaagapay ang Maykapal
Mga pangarap sa simula, dahil dito natupad at nagawa
Maraming salamat mga guro at paaralan
Hindi ko malilimutan ang bawat mong ipinayo at inaral
Kinanlong mo ako sa iyong bubong na payapa
Binigyan ng talino, pinakilos nang masaya
Bagamat sa simula, may tikim ng hiram
Ganoon talaga kapag hangarin ay maganda.
Padadaanin ka sa pagsubok, na iyo namang kaya
“Huwag kang susuko,” ang payo naman nila
Sa aking pagtatapos, pasasalamat sa iyo ay lubos
Marami ka pang kagaya ko na sana’y mabuo
Alam kong ito ay hindi pamamaalam
Baka nga sa susunod tayo ay muli pang magkita
Sa pagkakataong iyon, ako naman ang magtuturo
Sa mga taong nais pangarap ay magkatotoo
Pangarap na natupad dito nakamit ko!
Masayang Pamamaalam
Ni Emil Dean F. Sayson. 5-A
Ang buhay ay puno ng saya, lungkot, pighati, at tagumpay. Minsan ay may pagtatagpo
at pamamaalam. Ngunit paano nga ba tayo magpaalam? Ano ang madalas na nararamdaman
natin kapag tayo ay nagpapaalam?
Mahirap sa atin ang magpaalam sa mga kaibigan, mahal sa buhay, at sa ating
mga iniidolo lalo na kung ang gagawing pagpapaalam ay matatagalan bago muling magkita.
Ang isa sa mga mahirap gawing pagpapaalam ay para sa mga kaibigan, kamag-aral
at guro na nakasama mo sa hirap, ginhawa, lungkot, saya, kahirapan, at kasaganaan tulad
ng pag-aaral ko dito sa ADULT NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL. Halos lahat ng mga bagay ay akin
ng napagdaanan ngunit mas lalo akong tumibay dahil sa mga naging karanasan ko. Ang
lagi kong sinasabi sa sarili ko “huwag bibitiw at manampalataya lang ako sa Panginoon ay
tiyak makakayanan at malalagpasan ko rin ito”. Minsan may mga taong mahirap iwanan
ngunit kailangan dahil gusto mong umunlad at magamit ang mga bagay na natutuhan mo
sa kanila. Nais mong maipakita sa kanila na hindi nasayang ang bagay na ibinahagi nila
sa iyo at maipagmamalaki ka nila. Marami akong natutunan sa paaralan. Mula sa simple
hanggang sa mga komplikado at mula sa possible hanggang sa mga imposible ay aking
nalaman. Dahil sa institusyong ito ay mas tumibay ang pananalig ko sa Maykapal, tiwala
sa sarili, at tiwala sa kapwa. Marami akong bagay na ibabahagi paglabas ko sa institusyong
aking kinalakihan. Kaya ko nasabing kinalakihan ay dahil halos lahat ng bagay ay
dito ko naunawaan at nalaman.
Alam ko na hindi ito ang huli bagkus ito lamang ang simula ng panibagong yugto
sa aking buhay. Lilisanin ko ang paaralang aking kinagisnan hawak ang aking mga pangarap,
tagumpay, karanasan at pagmamahal mula sa mga taong nabibilang sa institusyong
ito. Salamat La Salle Green Hills – Adult Night High School sa pagbabahagi ng kaalaman,
pagbibigay ng mga natatanging karanasan at walang katapat na pagmamahal. Magpapaalam
man ako at sampu ng aking kapwa kamag-aral na magsisipagtapos sa taong ito
ay gagamitin namin ang lahat ng aming natutunan at nalaman sa papasukin naming
bagong mundo at sa pagsisimula ng panibagong yugto ng libro ng aming buhay. Masaya
kaming mamaalam dala-dala ang mga salitang maaari naming ipagmalaki sa bagong
mundo na maglalarawan sa institusyong nagbigay ng buhay at pag-asa sa aming naghihingalong
buhay.
Maraming salamat sa Kongregasyon ng La Salle Brothers, mga administrador,
kaguruan, at kawani. Masayang Pamamaalam sa inyong lahat at hanggang sa muling
pagkikita.

Education
By Franklin Scott Martin, 4-B
Education is essential,
a treasure that we should possess.
Education has no boundaries
when it comes to age.
Everyone needs education,
but to have it, you have to cross
many obstacles.
It is priceless when you made it.
Education is like a sword,
a sword no one can steal.
In a life like a battlefield,
You need a better sword
to defend yourself,
a better weapon to achieve success.
Again
The typhoon is here
The bird’s nest will disappear
It’s our dilemma.

My Own
By Ma. Jona D. Dolenzo, 4-B
Every child is a gift that you cannot forget.
Nine months of carrying life,
inside my womb at last.
When I first saw you
you made me smile and nothing can stop me
looking at you with teary eyes.
Every day is a blessing for me,
until one day you left me.
You left me alone suffering the pain,
and I cannot accept the day you’re gone.
Now you are an angel,
who guides me all the time
Thank you, an angel of mine.
Such beauty of purple scent,
Like rare diamonds.
Haiku on the Go!

Are you afraid of the things that happened around you? Have you ever
thought of the possibilities that one day you will die too? When I was a kid I often
asked my mother what it feels like to face death. Will it hurt? Will I suffer until my
last breath? Will it be fast like thunder?

Proud to Be
By Adrian T. Asañon, 1-A
We Filipinos are different from others;
we are smart, fearless, and strong.
We are only a small country,
but we are great and as big as infantry.
Some are ignoring us.
When there is trouble,
they are blaming us.
They do not know who are true Filipinos.
They will never regret,
once they know who we really are.
They can see it in our hearts
and in what we do.
Be proud because you are a true Filipino!
Broken Dreams
It started to rain
All my dreams were swept away
My pathway vanished.
RJ A. Fernando 3-A
But she told me nobody knows how. Only those who experienced a
near death event in their lives can say. Way back when I was a kid
dying was the scariest thing for me, although I believe in heaven. I
always ask myself this, will I be able to finish all the things that I
want to do and all the tasks I need to do before the end of my life?
Out of my childish curiosity, I asked some of the people I
know a tough question that most of the time I myself have the hardest
time figuring out the answer.
What will you do if today is the last 24 hours of your life? As
for me I will invite everyone that I love, my worst enemies, and my
favorite best friend. I will make up for the lost times. I will apologize
for the things that I have done to them. I will thank them for being
there for me through the years. I will tell them how much I love
them, and that I will miss them. When my time comes I hope that I
will be old and gray but still happy and on the positive side of life,
successful and content with the life that I have had without regrets.
I will be married and surrounded by my children and their children.
Life is too short and too fragile to be wasted. We have to
live life to the fullest and we should start now, not tomorrow or the
next day. We have to consider every hour, every minute, and every
second of it because we never know when will be the end of it. It
would not knock on our doors. It will come like a thief in the night.
And today… think about the little things that make you happy. Cherish
the love that you have. Smile and relax. Think about the beauty
of the world. Be thankful for today may be the last.

LSGH Centennial Concert
showcases talents
“See things with the
eyes of faith.” These were the
words of Br. Felipe C. Belleza
Jr. FSC as he delivered his
message during the last show
of the LSGH Centennial Concert
held last February 10,
2012 at St. Benilde Gymnasium
with the parents, visitors
and friends of LSGH.
Talented students from
the grade school, high school,
and night school participated in
the said concert through singing,
dancing, and acting.
By Jacqueline B. Jacinto, 4-A
ANHS students presented
an excerpt of Mang Lasal,
a play that truly manifested
the mission of St. La Salle,
education for all. Young people
from slum areas were given
chance to study despite their
poverty because of ANHS
which offers quality Catholic
education to Hearing and Deaf
students 18 years old and
above. As Br. Felipe put it,
“Talentong Lasalyano alay sa
sentenaryo alay kay San Juan
Bautista de La Salle.”

year old boy who would rather
play than to study. It is story of
how the Brothers fought for
freedom of education during
World War II and continued
what St. La Salle started. They
surrendered their lives for a
greater cause.
Mr. Joseph Angelo
Santos wrote the story, Mr.
Genaro Edilo and Mr. Miguel
Ordonez composed the songs
and arranged the music, and
Miss Neomili S. Bondoc
served as the play’s director.
