explore my optimistic world

Maganda na rin yun, na before ako lalayas sa NORSU, na-witness kung pa'no pinakain at pinasaya ng NORSU ang lahat ng estudyante'ng umattend sa symposium kanina sa gym, kabilang na dyan lahat ng faculty and staff, all officers, cadets and cadettes of three ROTC Units—Army, Naval, Air Force, mga estudyante galing sa iba’t ibang korsu at antas, mga bisita, at lahat ng nandun kanina.

In my four-year stay in this institution, it only happens now, as in ngayon lang. Hmmmn, bakit kaya? Kanino kayang gastos yun—kay Binay, kay Daddy o pera lang din ng mga estudyante? (haha!)

Pero di bale na, basta at least naisip nila ang hakbang na yun para maganahang makinig ang mga estudyante sa boring na lectures (hindi naman lahat, pero karamihan). I’m sorry to comment that way.

Anyways, let me react on my encounter observation with the Republic of the Philippines Vice President, Hon. Jejomar “Jojo” Binay, on his visit and lecture this morning about “Poverty Alleviation and Climate Change”.

First, I know many can testify that Binay is an effective leader committed to genuine public service and possesses a heart of improving the lives of his constituents (ebidensya dyan ang Makati). But, the problem during his talk was, I can hardly understand the words coming out from his mouth because of the way he speaks. Even all my classmates did, that we have to ask each other and clarify if what that word is/words are.

Yes, it was my first time listening him speak in the very front of me. Maybe, he was only worn out that time, that’s why he could not pronounce the words clearly. But as far as my sense of hearing is concern, his focus in his speech was food security and agriculture.

Now I realize that you don’t have to be a good public speaker to win the support of people and to acquire a public office. Because what matters is how you will serve them, not through the use of your mouth, but through your excellent, remarkable actions.

Binay has paved a visit to NORSU for two times now.
Sen. Miguel Zubiri was supposed to be gracing the event, but because of an important hearing in the Congress, he was represented by (I forgot the name of the person).
