because sincerity is more than just defense
thing is, WE ARE ALL MONSTERS.
driven by the power to prove we are somebody or that we have something better to offer, we speak as if we humble ourselves, to the point that we do it only to seek sympathy.
people, we can do better than this.
i am speaking not because i am running. i am speaking because this has been what's on my mind AS AN ORDINARY INDIVIDUAL. i am speaking as Anthonette Malaluan, the ordinary PH student i have always been.
sa mga bagong pangyayari sa buhay ko, masaya ako kahit minsan masakit. kasi alam ko na sa lahat ng ginawa ko, sinagad ko ang kakayahan ko. nakita ko ang Nhet na dating ganito laging -- maximized ang potential. but sometimes, ang hirap pala sa kalooban na may mga taong mamimisconstrue ang kakayahan ko for being far-fetched or fabricated. kung ginalingan ko man dahil ginawa ko yun ng buong puso dahil naniniwala ako na may magagawa ako pag nagsalita ako.
sinasabi ko ito hindi dahil kailangan ko ng awa pero dahil naniniwala ako na maraming katulad ko sa PH, magaling ngunit hindi nabibigyan ng pagkakataon para ipakita yon. in two years na nakasama ko ang batchmates ko, ang dami kong nakilalang MAS MAGALING pa sa akin. but the thing is, sa Faura lang sila nakapako. isipin na nilang, nagpapa-special sila kaya hindi sila nagkakaroon ng part sa college activities, pero yun yon e, SPECIAL sila. konting kulbit lang and encouragement and i believe that is what they need.
pero yun pala un, pag ginalingan mo, people would think that you are just making it up. na you are just a person of words and that you cannot be of substance.
PREJUDICED nga ang tao. how can you say so when you don't even know the person?
How can you say when you haven't even tried him or her?
We were good speakers because we did it from the heart.
ako ginawa ko yun kasi alam ko un ang kailangan ko as an ORDINARY PH Student. at lahat naman siguro tayo, nagPHILO kaya alam natin na hindi puwedeng i-asa na lamang sa hasty conclusions and future ng ating college.
MASAYA ako that there are people who appreciated what i did. kasi ito ako na hindi nakikita ng lahat. :) let's be honest. ang sarap ng feeling na sinabihan ka ng mga tao that "you are good", na "good job" kasi ibig sabihin the things that you did FROM THE HEART are the same things that TOUCHED THEIR HEARTS.
may purpose ang isang tao kung bakit niya ginagalingan. IT IS NOT ABOUT WINNING OR BEING APPROPRIATE ANYMORE e. it is about being appreciated for your genuine and genius work :D. na with your work, people started to believe na you can make a difference.
na with your work, you find your purpose.
kung may natutunan man ako after all this, un ay kung gusto mong magkaboses sa konseho, SUMIGAW KA. kasi thing is, pagdating mo sa election, pantay pantay lahat ng tao na boboto at pantay-pantay na mayroon tayong gustong mangyari sa kinabukasan natin. sa ating PAGSIGAW, mapapansin ka nila kasi sa dinami-rami ng tao, nagkaroon ka ng LAKAS NG LOOB to speak for yourself kahit pa nasa gitna ka ng crowd ng kalaban. :)
AT KUNG TIRAHIN KA MAN NILA, AT LEAST ISIPIN MO NA LANG NA KAYA KA NILA TINITIRA AY DAHIL YOU MADE AN IMPACT.
congrats! :)
kasi matupad man o hindi ang isinigaw mo, they'll always remember you as
"Ang Batang Sumigaw" :D
and for that, you stood out. :)
bilang isang normal na tao, sana wag na natin isipin WHO is the more appropriate, WHO would rise, sana mas maisip natin
WHAT would be more appropriate FOR THE COLLEGE.
WHAT would make THE COLLEGE rise.
Lahat tayo magaling.
At siguro dapat maging PROUD tayo na magagaling tayo sa CPH.
in just a few more days, malalaman na natin who will hold position in the college and in the whole university. sa totoo lang ngayon, hindi ko na iniisip yung pagkapanalo o pagkatalo kasi masaya ako na tinulungan ako ni Jow Poblete para makilala ng mga tao at makakilala ng marvelous na tao, para mai-share sa kanila kung sino ako at para maipakita na hindi basta-basta lang ang CPH.
nung meeting de avance, narinig ko numerous times ang katagang "ang PH ay maliit na college" gusto ko sana mag-NO. kasi alam kong maraming holistic sa PH. kasi kung maliit kami, wala kaming sariling building ngayon. kasi alam kong kahit saan mo kami dalhin, may funds man o wala, kaya naming dumiskarte.
at hindi ako papayag na mamaliitin lang nila ang College na kinabibilangan ko ngayon.
Ah. basta ngayon masaya ako kasi napatunayan kong active pa rin ang Nhet na outgoing. :D
and one day, i will use my voice again to be heard.
MABIBINGI SILA with what i am to say.
Someday. Someday. Soon.
:D
