POSTER MAKING QUIZ

 DILG holds ISKOLAR-BOS
In order to capacitate and
equip the Sangguniang
Kabataan Officials with the
necessary knowledge, skills and
abilities, a one-day training (in 2
batches) was conducted to the
new sets of SK Officials of the
forty three (43) barangays of
Batac City last February 8 & 15,
2009 from 7:00 in the morning to
8:00 in the evening. It was held
at the newly constructed KALIPI
Training Center in Brgy. #16S
Quiling Sur, this city. A total
number of 211 or 61.34%
attended the Sangguniang
Kabataan Organizational,
Leadership and Reorientation-
Basic Orientation Seminar
(ISKOLaR-BOS).
The two-batch training was
opened by a simple program.
The City Mayor, Hon. Jeffrey
Jubal C. Nalupta graced the
occasion together with City
Vice-Mayor Hon. Ronald Allan
M. Nalupta and Sangguniang
Panlungsod Member Hon.
Bismark Angelo A. Quidang.
While during the second batch
of the training, SPMembers Hon.
Eugenia Violeta D. Nalupta and
Hon. Florencio P. Laud
represented the beloved City
Mayor (who had a very urgent
commitment at that time) in
the opening program and
candle lighting ceremony,
respectively.

The following topics were discussed during the training:

A. Team Building and Righteous Leadership
B. The National Government and its Relation
to Local Government
1. The Philippine Government and Local Government
2. The Local Government Code of 1991
(with emphasis on Barangay Government)
C. Basic Info on the SK
1. The SK as an Organization
2. SK Roles and Responsibilities
3. Other SK Supervised/Coordinated Youth
Organizations and SK Membership to
Different Bodies
D. Competencies
1. Basic Parliamentary Procedures/Local Legislation
2. Fiscal Administration
3. Development Planning
E. Issues Confronting SK
1. Pending Bills Abolishing the SK
2. Various SK Reform Bills
3. Study on the Impact of Youth Participation in the Local
Government Process: The SK Experience

Focused group dynamics,
structured Learning Exercises (SLE),
group workshop, brainstorming,
lecturette, unfreezing activities and
interactive discussion were the
methods employed by the
resource speakers/facilitators from
the Department of the Interior &
Local Government (DILG) headed
by Provincial Director Mario Elpidio
A. Ratuita. They are: LGOO V
Janette P. Duarte (San Nicolas),
(Solsona), LGOO II/OIC Eden
======================
Consuelo A. Lara (Badoc), LGOO II
Charis O. Garma (Provincial
Office) and LGOO V Roger P.
Daquioag & LGOO II Floresita N.
Sadang (Batac City).
Highlight of the training was
the Candle Lighting Ceremony
wherein SK Representative, Hon.
Jed Arnel V. Raquel lighted his
candle from that of the Honorable
City Mayor Jeffrey Jubal C.
Nalupta as a symbol of
acceptance being a youth leader.
=========== ========================
Then he (Jed) transferred the light
to his fellow SK Chairmen, then SK
Chairmen to their Kagawads.
This is meaningful to the
participants as they felt warm
acceptance as young leaders in
their community as well as a light
to their fellow youth being a role
model to them, as the City Mayor
stressed out during his speech.
Distribution of Certificates was
done after the long-day activity.

THE 4H GROUP
 PALPALIIW… Charge
….Edibert L. Bareng
We had experienced complicated situations
for the year 2008. These are the many faces that
year 2008 gave to us and makes us wondering how
we survive the many events – locally, nationally and
even internationally and this affect us directly or
indirectly. My friend in the U.S. told me in one
occasion we chat on the phone, that the world
today is getting into recession, due to the worsening
global economic crisis. Recession has been all over
the world. It’s like a catastrophe that hits one after
the other. Some say that the worst is yet to come.
They predict nightmares of economic failure, illness,
social problem and natural disaster that could cause
panic among people. We had 2008 as it was
yesterday, with dreams build some on sand castles
and some have been put into concrete foundation.
Experience was still the best teacher and after all we
have a God. Praying and trusting Him will be our
best weapon to survive. We have to conquer this
fear and face it with dignity and pride to pursue our
dreams in life.
*****
Remember how an “f” (as in failed) mark
looks in a test? It is always written in red ink, bigger
and even bolder than other grades. A work
experience in a resume is a plus factor in applying
for a job. It’s New Year once again and we are
pondering those experiences in our lives that
resulted to our New Year’s resolutions. But I told
myself I would not make any new year’s resolution
this time. It’s just a matter of concentrating the things
I want to do this year. Thank God life isn’t so
demanding. We can set aside beliefs which don’t
go with our thoughts. We can look at them for our
set of standards. Whenever the “f” comes, we
reinforce our knowledge that we are not perfect.
Discovering new insights around us makes our
experiences a part of us. Luckily a handful of these
experiences last year were written in my journal; an
experience of nervousness turn into calmness in San
Fernando, Pampanga, a wordy experience with
Maalaala Mo Kaya, my lessons learned on my
lakbay-aral and a chilling night at a retreat house in
Baguio City; An experience of grace, blessing and
abundance at PhilSport Arena in Pasig City and
strolling the riverbanks of Marikina; witnessing the
grand dance parade of the Empanada Festival and
a year-end multicolor night of fireworks display of the
City of Batac Fiesta! There might be more interesting
experiences out there greater than or more
interesting ones than mine. But above all these
things we are confident that the love and guidance
of our Lord is always around. Be it a failure or a
success we charge them to experience.
*****
In life we experience many crosses that
come in different sizes, we carry a lot of them and
some say that they suffer with their crosses. Some say
they experience abandonment, neglect and
prejudices. We hope one of these is not in our daily
encounters. We also experience “low-bat” in our
spiritual life; lack of attention with family and living a
life of insecurities, pride and sometimes terror worse is
an experience of dying to one advocacy. We met
people from all walks of life, as we work in the office,
to EXPERIENCE
and as we deal with our clients, and as we serve
them the fastest way we can, still we are not
contented, it’s a failure for us. These sometimes give
us wisdom to grow. We charge them to experience.
*****
Sir Roderick’s article: “The Night is Darkest
before the Dawn”, IoC, December 2008 to January
15, 2009 issue. Questions came into my mind and I
felt a feeling of uncertainty when the news “Ti
Ciudad ti Batac maisubli a kas maysa a Municipyo?”
reached me. The Supreme Court decided with a 6-5
vote that the conversion of the Municipality of Batac
into a component City is unconstitutional. (As of now
there is no news yet about the motion for
reconsideration filed by the City Government of
Batac). We know that with our common effort and
with fervent prayers, this city will be as Sir Roderick’s
words in his article,”… like a phoenix born from its
ashes - we shall soar again. For we believe in our
leaders and we love Batac the City of our Dreams.”
*****
If you are strolling around the Poblacion
Kabsat, you may be wondering of the many roads
and streets with signs “detour” and “Men at Work”. It
is one of the manifestations of the TEAM ARAMID
PAKAKITAAN to its commitment to serve the
community. A lot of infrastructure projects are being
implemented funded from the One Million
development Fund of Barangay allocated for them
by the City Government. Integrated Drainage
canals were constructed to prevent the occurrence
of flood in the Poblacion and nearby Barangays.
Poor drainage or the absence of integrated
drainage system caused the unexpected flood in
the urban Barangays last year during the typhoon
Helen. Saan la a dayta kabsat, there are more
projects to come as the good mayor has been
saying, “To continue realizing the aspiration of their
respective barangays.” We are all experiencing
progress brought about by our becoming a city. We
should also do our part preserving and nurturing the
true spirit of being a Bataquenos.
*****
“If we hold on together, I know our dreams
will never die, Dreams see us through to forever.
Where clouds roll by, for you and I. And when we are
out there in the dark, we’ll dream about the sun, in
the dark we’ll fill the light, warm our hearts
everyone….”
The lyrics of the song may be somewhat
fitting to sum up the true spirit and meaning of
selfless service and commitment to the community.
Good governance, transparency, utilization of
available resources, giving a maximum to social
service.
