My mom at around five years old. I managed to repair some of the creases across the face. This photograph, taken in the mid-40s, survived WW2 and the floods of Sta. Mesa.

Peek-a-boo Zambales sunset. The clouds conspired to hide the sun, but he was too vain. He loves to have his picture taken!

Jolens (top step) will be 3 years old in July. DeeDee (bottom step) will be a year old next week. This is a rare occasion: these two lying down and letting me take their picture. It didn’t last long, though. DeeDee caught on to me.

Taken with my SGNote.

Kristel Tejada: Ang pagkukulang ng UP System sa kanilang atas

Mas mahirap nga ba ang buhay noong wala pang Internet o cellphones o tablet at kung anu-ano pang teknolohiya kaysa ngayon? Sa palagay ko, di dapat ito ang sukatan. Kung ihahambing ang buhay noon at ngayon, sa tingin ko mas mahirap lagpasan ang kahirapan ngayon.

Kung ang nakikita mong tanging pag-asa upang malampasan ang kahirapan ay ang pagkakaroon ng edukasyon at pinagkait ito sa iyo, anong mararamdaman mo? Di ba para ka nyang pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa?

Di natin alam kung bakit nagpakamatay si Kristel Tejada. Nagkulang nga ba sa paggabay ang kanyang mga magulang at lumaki si Kristel na may “sense of entitlement” katulad ng karamihan ng mga kabataan ngayon? Ang alam lang natin ay malakas ang pagnanais niyang makatapos sa pag-aaral at iangat sa kahirapan ang kanyang pamilya.

Dito pa lang, makikitang naniniwala si Kristel sa sariling pagsisikap. Di siya humingi ng kung anumang pagtatangi: nakapasa siya sa pagsusulit ng UP System at nagsumikap sa kanyang pag-aaral. Ang hiningi lang niya ay ang pagkakataong makatapos sa kabila ng kawalan ng pambayad ng matrikula SA ISANG UNIBERSIDAD NA ITINATAG PARA SA MGA KAPUS-PALAD NA TULAD NIYA.

Ito ang isyu dito: ang pagkukulang ng UP System na matulungan ang isang kapus-palad na makapag-aral. Nagkulang man ang mga magulang at naging malupit man ang mga kamag-aral, di magbabago na di natupad ng UP Sytem ang kanilang katungkulan sa mga kapus-palad tulad ni Kristel Tejada.
