The Volunteer Mindset

Part of my hesitation to volunteer has been self-doubt. Why do I want to volunteer? What do I really think about getting from the experience? I mean, why am I even writing this piece? What got me to cave in was the thought that as long as I am contributing something, it wouldn’t matter what […]

Tula: Sa Tulad Mo

Tumindig ka at sumama sa pag-aklas,‘Di nagpasindak sa kahit anumang dahas,Hinarap ang mga kalabang malakas,Makamtan lamang kung ano ang patas. Dinakip ka, sinaktan, minaltrato,Ikinulong sa madilim na presinto,Dugo mo’y dumanak sa aspalto. Tinanong ka kung bayan o sarili,Kung buhay mo o buhay ng mga api. Hindi ko lubos magawang isipin,Paano mo nagawang bayan ay piliin,Na […]

Tula: Pilipino Rin Kami

Katutubo kung kami’y tawagin, Kababayan ninyo bang ituring? Sa ami’y walang pumapansin, Hinahamak pa ng nagmamagaling. Karamihan sa ami’y nasa kabundukan, Malayong malayo sa kabihasnan. Minsan ay bumababa sa kapatagan, Subalit ang loob ay walang kapanatagan. Takot kami sa mga matang mapangutya, Na para bang kami ay masama. Maipalit lang ang aming kalakal ang sadya, […]

Nung siya’y umalis sa programa, dito nakita ng guro ang pagkakataong itayo ang EUD sa tulong ng kanyang kabiyak.

Volunteering: A Different Kind of Romance

Many of us are searching for true love—a soulmate who will make us feel complete in a world that’s ever-changing. But love is a vast enterprise. It’s more than the giddy emotions we have when we see our crushes and more than the palpitations we feel on our first kiss. In limiting our view of love, we forget that true love comes in various forms, and that service is love in its truest form.
