II. Project Description A. Rationale of the Project

(7)

While conducting our survey to the families residing in the barangay, we noticed that almost everyone answered „Thrown Anywhere‟ and „in the rip -rap‟ when asked on how they disposed their garbage. The area we visited lacks trash cans and bins for the reason that their wastes are not properly organized and disposed. We decided to choose a project in the field of Ecology to at least lessen the burden of the people in the community.

We planned for the betterment of our target area which was made possible by our joint efforts in initiating a clean and green project that spoke out our advocacy. Little by little, with joined hands, we were able to work things out. We provided some cleaning materials and trash cans and labeled them with „Biodegradable‟, „Non -biodegradable‟ and „Recyclables‟ so people will be able to segregate their garbage properly. We started cleaning areas which were surrounded by obstructive and unpleasant grasses and garbage especially the pathways, coastal and non-residential areas. We were also able to inculcate in the minds of the youth the proper way of disposing their garbage and shared them more about our reading skills so as to improve theirs as well as their speed and comprehension.

B. Objectives

To initiate a Clean and Green Project in the barangay;

To influence the people, particularly the youth, to be environment-friendly; To provide a solution that will somehow reduce their community problems; To speak out our advocacy of a better and improved community; and

To beautify the community area and provide cleaning materials for the barangay.

Accomplishment

B. Social Viability

Based on observation, the community necessitates improvement in many aspects. One of these aspects is the ecological aspect of the community to at least lessen the burden of the people in the community. We made a difference with our own simple ways. Little by little, we have accomplished beautifying several areas like MRF, pathways along the barangay hall, plant boxes, and painting of areas not given emphasis. Through the aid and the help of the officials, our project has been really progressive.

IV. Financial Requirement and Resources A. Source of Funds

We provided funds for the cleaning equipment, painting materials and food used in the project. Funds probably came from voluntary contributions of project coordinators and members. Cash contributions from each member were used to finance the activities of the Communi-Teens in Barangay Tabangao, Aplaya.

V. Assessment of the Project A. Findings

The progress in the environmental aspect of the community was evaluated based on the changes that occurred in the environment after the implementation of the said scheme. The people in the community have been fully equipped to partake in the community development.

Of course, the project was successful because we coordinated with the local officials in every move we made. Another necessity of the barangay regarding the proper waste management is the trash cans. Without them, people would go back to throwing their garbage and waste materials anywhere they want. They won‟t be able to

(11)

After taking up NSTP, the group Communi-Teens has been aware of the different crises hitting different communities. There are food problems, medical needs, business predicaments, money dilemmas, corruption quandaries, educational hindrances, transportation inconveniences, poverty tribulation and everything else. Even some educated citizens blame the local government for not making solutions for the current problems. And as the saying goes, “If we want change, change must start from us.”

From the personal experiences of the group, a member would definitely summarize that the community service is a great help to become a better person. It was a great experience that would totally last a lifetime. Lessons as an individual were discovered, thus achieving the goals that the group really wanted to bring into reality. Most importantly, our ultimate aim was achieved- helping the people in that chosen community. The development plans we implemented enabled the community to be beautified, clean and green. We were so certain that we left something memorable in that barangay as we had a good interaction and relationship with the people there.

Our project imposed mainly concerned ecological programs that started a big change in the community. A cleaner, healthier and better community Tabanagao has become after the implementation of the scheme. All coordinators of the group participated and harmonized so as to accomplish the project and have good results. We also coordinated with the barangay officials for assistance and cooperation. We taught the some students of to take care and look after the community when we ‟re already done with the project. We taught them the skill of speed reading as suggested by the principal.

For so many times in our lives, we were wondering of how to change the world. It‟s funny and humiliating at the same time that everyone wants to change the world but no one has ever wanted or in any case, planned, to take the initiative of changing himself first. Every expedition needs a foot ahead of the other. We must at the very least try to move forward by taking one step ahead.

Having been engaged in a community project like ours (Ecological Project) really made me a better person than I was. Yes, I am probably proud of being an active and participative member of the “Communi -Teens”. Why, it‟s of great privilege to serve the community even with just those littlest things we‟ve done. I‟m glad that teamwork is present in the implementation of our project. Together, we joined hands to make things work out for the better.

Several different activities were made and sure-footedly, not everyone was pleased and delighted. But failures and dilemmas really occur, they are unpreventable. There may be corrective measures whenever crises occur, but they just won‟t make a group a perfect one. Some says we only do these and those for the sake of our NSTP grade. But mind you, we did the project for two reasons- to gain and to lose. It was just like hitting two birds with one stone. We made things neither for our own convenience nor for our own selfish reasons. In fact, we even gave up our comforts just for the sake of the needy community- something we can call selflessness.

nonsense to me. Secondly, I thought of it as a boring thing to do because it‟ll b e cleaning then cleaning again.

On our first day, we cleaned the area near the barangay hall. During this time, I was able to prove to myself that it was boring. I also wanted to go home by that time because I feel so lazy. Then on our second day, we got to interact with the children as a part of our literacy development project. My group mates taught the children a song and this caught my attention. The lyrics of the song was, “It‟s I, it‟s I, it‟s I who build community...” It made me realize how I can affect the community I‟m living in. It‟s our overall activity on that day which made me realize my impact in my community. I may be a simple person, a single entity, but still I‟m a part of the community. After this day, days of community service was not boring at all. I enjoyed each day. Although the sun‟s shining so bright while we are painting and sweeping, we‟re doing our work with a smile and with big hearts knowing that we‟re indeed helping the community.

(42)

overwhelming that we were accepted by the officials of the barangay.Many of us were excited in doing good plans for the community. We improved and beautified the community by cleaning the surroundings, painting the plantboxesand some areas and many more. We also taught children and that was enjoyable.We worked as one. Even if misunderstandingsoccurredbetween the members, we continued the work and fixed those.

I will miss those Saturdays that we‟re together as a group - the laughter and sorrow that I saw in their faces and the “chikahan” of the girls. Even if sometim es I was tired, I just don‟t mind it because I want to help this community. We also solved problems together. Even if there are times that we were few, we made sure that we still do our work. I‟m very happy that I am a CWTS student and I‟m happier that I a m a member of Communi-Teens. With the help of our Almighty God, I pray all the best for the barangay.

(43)

bonding with them and sharing food with each other are the best experiences of a freshmen college student like me. The Freshmen Days are the most unforgettable experiences that CWTS shared to me. In this, unity and teamwork were made and developed. And I‟m really proud to be a part of Communi-teens as a whole. That was the very best part of being a freshmen college student.

Being exposed to the real world meant being aware of what was the scene beyond the campus. I learned to be humble and appreciate of what I have. I learned to be appropriate and respectful, being given the responsibility in mediating between the target community and our CWTS class. I learned to be very patient, both in teaching (especially with the kids) and cleaning the surroundings. I learned that opportunity must not only be for us who are privileged enough to reach college, but for everyone who desires it. I learned that a lot of things may still be improved, and under the constant observation of what we do, we could see what can be done better, what is fit and what is not. I learned that even at this age, I could help in my little ways in making our country a better place for Filipinos.

CWTS has taught me that each and every one of us has a role in this world. All the things that are happening are connected with each other. I really hope that I could apply what I learned in CWTS. I really need to have changes to myself for me to be a better person. Being a better person will lead me to a better future. And better future will lead me to a better life. That‟s how simple it is. Next school year, I will no longer have

chance to help and serve Brgy. Tabangao, Aplaya.

At first, I‟m anxious about this project “Get Moving by Going Green”. It is not just a simple thing that we‟re going to work on, but a big one that requires full group unity and cooperation.

The first three days of our community service enfolds the literacy/professional development. For me, this is the best part of our project where I certainly enjoyed and was very entertained. The kids were so active in every part of the program that we conducted. They were so glad on our prepared games and exercises wherein we, the communi-teens, join with them. Another part is the reading segment on which I became close with two cute girls, Irizh and Angela. At first, I wasn‟t expecting that these girls would approach me and say, “Ate Clarisse gusto namin , ikaw ang magturo sa amin”. I was astonished and was overwhelmed as they allowed me in guiding them while reading.

Our next Saturdays were engaged in the clean-up and painting of plant boxes. As we cleaned the areas, I‟ve noticed that we‟re also sharing different stori es and

experiences that lessened the fatigue we are going through.

Lastly, I am pleased and delighted as I was able to serve and improve Brgy. Tabangao and its people through this community project.

(46)

Bachelor of Science Major in Associate in Accounting, I decided to take the Civil Welfare Training service, I with my group mates every Saturday, I learned on how to socialize with other people and how to create a harmonious relationship towards other, and I learned on how to become a good citizen of the society and also how to teach the children. This activity also includes how to maintain the cleanliness and beautification of the community assigned to us. It also taught us on how to become patience due to some misunderstanding that arises.

Though this program, I explored and experienced all the things that I never encountered in my life. It also taught us on how to serve and help other without any condition.

As time passes by, the activities contributed a lot, especially in my personality. I learned on how to create a better communication to people who have position in the community. I felt happy, because I am willing to share my knowledge and abilities to others. And it made us to become responsible individuals. The reason why Civil Welfare Training Service is so essential to us is because it helped us a lot most especially in terms of our personality development.

(47)

hands, we contributed money, time and energy to help the community. As one of the Communi-Teens, I am very happy and flattered that they were overwhelmed by us. On the first phase, we‟ve planned to teach grade three elementa ry students, we opened our program by leading a prayer and then by that, we started our program. I am happy because in those simple ways, we gave happiness to every child. In our activity, there is a part that we taught them to read English stories. Then our leader told us that every child can choose whoever he/she wants to be this teacher. Then a little boy came to me. I asked him, “Why did you choose me to be your teacher?” He answered, “Kasi po, mabait kayo.” I smiled. When the little boy was reading, I noticed that he has a poor nutrition and slow reading comprehension. I realized that I am blessed that I have a family that can support me and give all my needs and wants but this little boy, in his young age, he experienced to stop studying and he cannot do what he wants because of poverty. Then I said, “Don‟t worry, God has a big and wonderful plan for us, just keep praying and studying hard to achieve your dream” and I smiled. On our next day of helping the community, we made a clean and green project. We swept the streets and collected garbage. We were all busy and happy in our assigned works. While doing our project,we started to get to know each other more. I am glad that I‟ve reached this point in my life where I became more. I‟ve concluded that this project has improved me more and for that, I want to thank those people who helped in its accomplishment.

(48)

be just easy because all we have to do is just to clean the surroundings and serve the people. But I was wrong- doing a community service is quite hard for students. You need to serve the people in the community properly. You will be exposed to their lifestyles and you should also learn to cope with them.

We did many things while we are in the community service. First, we cleaned the surroundings there and maintained the cleanliness of their place. Second,we taught several grades threefour students about some things we have learned before by sharing our talents, skills and some knowledge to them. Third is painting some plant boxes, light postsand walls there to beautify their environment. And lastly, we repainted their MRF there so it would be more pleasing to the eyes.

This activity has helped me take the chance of meeting other people and explore the place and be trained to serve my own community in the best I can. I must say that this kind of activity was all so worth it because I also learned many things during our community service. And also, I gained more friends from this activity. It was so enjoyable because helping other people makes me glad and makes me feel that I am a useful person and student, too.

(49)

essential for the improvement of a student. Civic Welfare Training Service is one of the best examples of this activity. Volunteers of CWTS improved their physical, emotional, mental and social attitudes and characteristics. Being one of them and being a participant of this kind of activity is such a great experience during my freshman year in college that I will never forget.

Giving our help in Barangay Tabangao, Aplaya is a pleasure because the people and the barangay officials were very kind and hospitable. We went there every Saturday morning with smiles on our faces and hearts ready to help the people and the community at all times with the activities that we planned like teaching elementary students, particularly grades three and four of Tabangao Aplaya Elementary School, cleaning different areas, painting several areas in the barangay like the MRF, plant boxes and walls, and planting plants that add beauty to the environment.

(50)

activity. At first, I don‟t think that it was going to be fine but I was wrong. In the different activities that we did in every meeting we had, like cleaning the roads, painting the plant boxes and the barangay‟s MRF, teaching the children and feeding them, I felt happy because as a young person and as a student, I helped in our community and I did things that I never expected I can. These little things that we did made or brought a great help and improvement in the barangay.

Even sometimes we experience different problems within, we try our best to make things settled and we see to it that we do a fast action or solution to make things fine. These things made me feel like I‟ve g ot a fulfillment, for me and for this subject that even in these simple things, we made sense and we helped them to have a clean and green community. I also glad that we had good interactions with the different people from the barangay especially with the barangay officials that we met and talked to for the accomplishment of this project. This experience is a totally remarkable one in my life that it will never be forgotten.

(51)

weeks, we invited 20 children. We taught them the proper segregation of wastes, proper hygiene. We also provided some reading materials to read infused with good moral lessons. It was fun to bond with the kids remembering our childhood days.

After those weeks, we cleaned some of their areas and donated some cleaning materials in their barangay. When others are cleaning the ground, others paint the walls and the plant boxes. While working on those, we have had our talks about our lives, sharing some of our happy and sad moments that made us close to each other. We experienced to have paint in our hands and s hirts but it‟s okay because the stain serves as a proof that for some moment in our lives, we helped a community and became a hero in our own simple way.

With the collaboration of our group, Communi-Teens, we have reached our goals with the theme “Get Moving by Going Green”. W ith the help of our dear God, our instructor, family and friends, we finished those weeks gratefully.

(52)

that if you have an ability to communicate, participate, and appreciate, nothing is impossible.

At the first time we went Tabangao, I‟ve thought that we will find it difficult to accomplish our mission in their community. Suddenly, as we‟ve got there doing our mission work, I‟ve find it interesting. Camaraderie developed between our group and unity was observed.

I felt glad teaching our students most especially when I‟ve distinguished they are voluntarily participating us. They already become a sibling on my part in just a little amount of time we spent together.

In spite of the unfavorable weather, doing our aim in helping them in beautifying their community, I felt honored most especially when their captain told us that though they won‟t win in the community contest occur every year, at least, they were capable in participating in that contest with the help of our group. I‟ve also realize that if there‟s a time for us to be back at Tabangao, I‟m proud to say that what I‟ve s een (like the green and yellow paint in the posts) are all part of our tangible project.

For me, it‟s not just an activity required in school but an experience that teach you how necessary you are in helping with others.

(53)

well-disciplined citizens. It encouraged me to help other people in any service that I can do for them. It also helped me have a better relationship with my classmates for we enjoyed our activities in the barangay. All in all, I am thankful that I‟ve rendered a service in the barangay.

(54)

like helping other people and serving them. I have lots of experiences in this subject. The people I met were all friendly-we‟ve had good bonding moments together. I‟ve gained many comrades, indeed. W e help people and teach children. We‟ve had so much fun. Although sometimes unpreventable dilemmas occur, we still continue our duty to help others as much as our abilities can reach.

CWTS gave me a lot of good and essential things that are all so useful in my life. With this, I can say that I have been truly a good citizen of the society. I‟ve never regretted any effort I‟ve exerted to accomplish our goals. I‟m so glad to be a part of the “Communi-Teens”.

(55)

(out of place) because I‟m not really close to my classmates. Sometimes I just sat on one side and then think of some things that will make myself relax. I‟m admitting that I„m a negative thinker when it comes on socializing to others because I‟m afraid to have a friend who will betray me or be what we call “plastic”. But time passed by and I learned how to mingle with them and I‟m wrong on my first impression. I also thought that we will be having a big problem regarding on our service like the Teach ing Program but I‟m wrong- we were able to teach the children and they are enjoyed our company. And now that we‟re finished, I will miss the children that I‟ve already treated as my younger siblings. So, not just my classmates became my friends but also the children, parents and even the councilor of that Barangay.

I‟m glad that I learned many things in this NSTP 102 . I learned how to socialize and mingle to my new meet friends, how to organize and plan, how to paint in a good way, how to be a good leader, and most of all I also enhance my some talents with the help of this service.

And now, before my personal reflection end, I just want to say “THANK YOU” to all my classmates in NSTP, the Communi-Teens and even the One Piece Group for being a good friend and to our beloved and respected Professor, Prof. Marvin Moraleja for being a good mentor, brother, professor, friend and parent to all of us. Thank you! 

with. Wondering why? First, I met new people that later on become your new friends. Second, I met different personalities. I really don‟t know what‟s the true meaning of happiness is. For me, just a simple thing, I smile. I laughed. Even if I hear some corny jokes at the back, they don‟t even fail me to laugh. It‟s nice to know. However, that CWTS would be filled with great opportunities for interaction and involvement with other people. This experience gave me new lessons. Lessons that means realizations to those aspects of our life through the things we take part in.

I learned how to compromise – utilizing the limited resources available in terms agreeable to both sides (target community, and the CWTS class). Being exposed to the real world meant being aware of what was the scene beyond the campus. I learned to be humble and appreciative of what I have. I learned to be appropriate and respectful, being given the responsibility in mediating between the target community and our CWTS class. I learned to be very patient, both in teaching (especially with the kids). I learned that our luxury of knowledge needs to be imparted to those who need it. I learned that opportunity must not only be for us who are privileged enough to reach college, but for everyone who desires it. I learned that a lot of things may still be improved, and under the constant observation of what we do, we could see what can be done better, what is fit and what is not. I learned that things may always not go the way you planned it to be, but you must be able to adapt every time. I learned that even at this age, I could help in my little ways in making our country a better place for Filipinos.

to go to school and meet your other classmates. All of these were just the tiring parts. But being a good citizen who helped other people in the needy barangay is the best experience I have had.

As they (the community people including the students) learned from us, we also learned so much from them- twice as much as they‟ve had . Being a part of this activity was a great pleasure for us Filipino citizens for we were able to help and to put smiles on their faces. I so love being a part of the Communi-Teens in spite of all the challenges we‟ve been through.

(59)

tight togetherness and cooperation of the different groups in the society. Youth of today, especially the students, serves as the building blocks in the foundation of a better community from different suggested places. We, the Communi-Teens of Batangas State University, have decided to choose Tabangao, Aplaya, Batangas City as a location for our NSTP project. Tabangao was known for their oil refinery business but their state of living was not that stable. At first glance, we saw children playing at their narrow areas, unorganized segregation of wastes and faded color of their barangay hall, street walls, and plant boxes. But upon seeing their happy faces which showed their warm welcome, our desire to make a change boosted to its top. Every Saturday, we have committed to this worldly doings which also brought happiness to our hearts and souls because once in our lives, we became heroes in our own simple ways. Like a flower that blooms and disperses it ‟s fragrance, like a butterfly that develops from an egg and like a seed that grows stronger and bigger as a tree, Tabangao has become better than ever. Through the help of Communi-Teens, we taught the children to read as their hobbies, showed them the proper waste segregation and painted their barangay hall, street walls and plant boxes.

As a result of our team work and the citizens‟ cooperation, we have reached our goals and objectives for Barangay Tabangao, Aplaya, Batangas City. Everything is possible as long as one believes.

BatStateU student is not doing this services just to pass the required subject CWTS,but also to help other people.To be honest,this kind of services is not easy to do.We do a lot of things and sacrifices just to teach the children and also to painting the walls of the vacant area in Barangay Tabangao. And I hope that the parents of the children and also the teachers will appreciate the little help we've done and also the effort and time we spend.

(62)

Simply because, instead of be at home, lay in bed and do nothing just relaxing, you need to go out and serve other people. I don‟t expect any lesson that I could learn from this. But on the other side, I realize that this service is pretty good. Now Im telling that I was wrong. On our first day, we cleaned around the area of the barangay. I thought on that first day is non sense instead I proved that community service is more fun. Then, in the mid way of January 2013 I was amazed about my self because I taught a basic reading skill to the children that was a short story. After that day, it feels good for me because, I share some of my knowledge to help other people especially to the children. There so many good things that happened in our community service that no one can forget. And at the end of the day. I ‟m glad to be a part of this service. I won‟t forget the entire good thing that I ‟ve done to serve. Now I always say this “community service had real knowledge that the other subject don‟t have”

2. You can easily see the grammatical and formal structure of the reading material.

3. Your eyes have to do less work, and can read for longer periods without getting too tired.

FACTORS THAT REDUCE READING SPEED

It is important to recognize the factors that reduce your speed in reading in order to correct or avoid them.

1. Reading word-by-word.It is only a misconception that, in order to fully understand what you are reading you need to read every word.

2. Slow recognition of and response to the material.This can be brought about by lack of focus, limited vocabulary or poor reading habit.

3. Vocalization. Some people have developed the habit of reading aloud. Because of this, they do not comprehend what they read unless they vocalize.

4. Faulty eye movements. This also a problem brought about by lack of focus. The eye wanders into parts of the pages that should not be the focus at the moment.

5. Regression.This can be both borne out of habit and a result of poor

concentration. The person who regresses finds himself or herself reading passages that he or she has already read.

(81)

reading.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SPEED IN READING

1. Identify a purpose. The purpose you identify is what you will try t achieve in your reading. This step is valuable when skimming through the material. Because you have purpose, your eyes will immediately zoom in on the words that are relevant to your purpose.

2. Ignore the words or parts of the article that you do not understand. J ust keep on reading.

3. Don’t read back. _{This will slow you down and will defeat the purpose of your}

practice. Just go on reading.

4. Practice moving your eyes fast.Don‟t let your eyes stay on the same line for more than 5 seconds.

5. Try to identify one main idea from one paragraph.It is possible that there are two or more ideas in one paragraph or one main idea is expressed in two or more paragraph. Try to identify this fact as well.

6. Remember that one eye movement is useful in speed reading. There is no one method for using eye movement. You can try to move your eyes diagonally, read the words at the beginning at the end of each line, read the words in the middle of each line, or read nouns and verbs only. Tyr out different methods and find out which one agrees with you.

(82)

The way to improve reading speed is through constant practice. Make use of above pointers. Allot a few minutes a day to practice. Check that you do not fall back into the habits that slow down your reading. Pretty soon, you will find yourself

THE GOOSE THAT LAID GOLDEN EGGS THE GOOSE THAT LAID GOLDEN EGGS

Once there was a farmer who had a goose and one morning he found a golden

egg laid by the goose. Intrigued, he waited to see what would happen the next morning.

Again, there was another golden egg. The poor

Again, there was another golden egg. The poor farmer was over the moon farmer was over the moon as he couldas he could

sell these eggs and make a fortune.

However one day the farmer decided to get a bit clever. He grabbed his axe and

chopped the goose in half as he thought to himself, if it is laying golden eggs daily then

there must be a whole bunch of them inside the goose. Of course, to his disappointment

there was nothing inside and worse he had killed his goose that had laid him 1 golden

egg a day.

So how is this story relevant to our lives? Well I believe the reason why most

people are not rich is because they have a get rich quick mentality. They want

everything the next day and they want overnight success. They are like the farmer of

the story; AND alot of these people have a golden goose that they cannot see. I also

believe we are conditioned for the way we are so we cannot fully blame ourselves for

thinking in such way.

The true path to wealth is a journey and a pilgrim. It requires patience and it

requires momentum. The way you build your wealth is by accumulating the golden eggs

that are laid daily; and then use that to acquire another goose that lays golden eggs. It
