Naval Biliran Educational System by JsaLee

The Naval/Biliranons desire is to have an affordable college education. From a simple Naval High School to a higher-level Naval Institute of Technology. It is the first Chartered State College in Biliran and hoping to acquire a University status in Biliran Province. Coupled with the hard work of our spirited President, Dr. Edita S. Genson, this is achievable in the near future.

It is important to recognize that the island is a continuum of education… pre-school, primary, secondary and tertiary level. Education avenues are changing to grasp in the globalize future.

There are tremendous opportunities available for every student who earned modern education. However, teaching techniques and teachers’ knowledge must be upgraded, too.

Naval Institute of Technology has started offering Law course while it’s Hotel and Restaurant Management has reached global competitiveness.

In this world, the role of the teacher has never been more important. The problem is that, at the moment, we do not use our teachers’ time effectively and productively in the classroom. We must use our teachers now to deliver content and facts. In many cases, these facts can be delivered more effectively by using it.

Given good opportunities, Navalians are smart people and have the ability to communicate effectively in real time. However though, the school also needs to equip itself with the latest hardware technology. These will aid the teachers’ eagerness to impart their upgraded skills to their students. Many years ago, Naval’s education status has neither rank nor distinction. But now, we can see remarkable achievements, most visibly under Dr Edita Genson’s leadership.

At the turn of another century, mankind is entering a knowledge-based economy. Innovation in education has become extremely urgent. We need to transform the Biliran Province populace into valuable human resources. We need to create a modern education for the island’s future. We encourage all Naval/Biliran students to cultivate a scientific spirit and creative thinking.

In resent days Naval Institute of Technology reaches beyond its shores. With the current educational program, it reaches overseas--- Singapore, USA, Japan, Malaysia and more to come. Soon, NIT graduates will become world class-professionals.

Naval Institute of Technology moves on…by: Jhune s.a. Lee

From a lowly school to a bold-emergent institution… Naval Institute of Technology (NIT) is one.

Spearheaded by indubitably capable persona, Dr. Edita Genson, President of NIT, has embrace globalization to the academe world. Preparing its students to sparingly compete for a globalize future. Level up opportunities for all its students by opening and providing greater educational support. She instills in students’ mindset the need to work smarter in order to thrive amidst the stiff competition. Working smart means preparing each student to self-awareness, so that they can kick-start new ideas and solve problems as they come up, including those that they haven’t encounter before. And stays resilient in the face of challenges. Learn to play in a team and communication effectively, real time.

NIT is apparently in its right track. There is no single solution in education for developing these skills of the future. Dr Genson believes that this is also something that doesn’t end when students leave school. We need a plethora of opportunities for life-long learning, molding each student to think and communicate on their feet, work well in teams, and meet set-backs with confidence.

There is a further, critical dimension to educating our students for the future, and which matters more to Dr Genson’s vision for NIT than to most other recognized schools. Developing a global outlook in each NIT students is therefore her important strategy. She wants to nurture each student to be culturally versatile, confident of their own identity, and beaming with pride to be a NITean-educated.

NIT’s Dr Genson is moving quickly to this direction by providing more overseas opportunities for its student so that they get a sense of the complexities and opportunities in the region. And if this is done well, it will give every NIT student an advantage in time to come.

The fundamental purpose of education is to bring forth our best and deepest qualities. From the beginning to this present day, leading educators are calling our schools to address the whole person. Fortunately, certain schools support this holistic approach, some of them in response to contemporary proposals for educational reform.

Our education reflects our basic views of human potential. If we do not recognize our greater possibilities, we are unlikely to conceive an education that encourages us. The enhanced perceptual and communication abilities, intuitive knowing, and capacities for love we’ve described, which lead us toward a greater calling and mission, can and must be nurtured. An education that did so would bring forth virtues of heart and soul as well as skills.

I believe that education’s greatest mandate is to inspire students a sense of potential greatness in this stupendous, ever-evolving universe. In doing this, it can help us find the deepest vocation as well as powers through which we can contribute to the world in general.

Thanks for Dr. Edita S. Genson’s valuable hard-work in pursuit of building Naval Institute of Technology a producer of world-class professionals.

It is common to say that the truth will set as free, and as long as we can speak, write and fight of what we know, we can be free.
In the homestretch of the campaign, both parties who want to occupy Biliran Province have traded barbs during their rallies. A source and a friend of mine confronted me last week that their masters has already allotted a bags of bundles of money ready to buy the votes of the Biliranon for their victory. Starting today the money will flood in Biliran. There is a lot of dirty money being used to bribe and influence the Biliranon. Perverted candidates reach out to the poor in the sum and in their lairs, offer them money, goods and promises in exchange of their votes. They are exploiting the poverty and weakness of the poor. Re-electionists use dirty money from graft and corruption, from gambling and drug lords to subvert the sovereign will, specifically the ignorance and illiteracy are most venerable to tempting of offers. Yes I agree from their loyalists that the people of Spain from Madrid de Manila who are disguising as Biliranon as what you connoted has done a lot of development in Biliran and simply also a lot of corruption. But development only happening in the district where they belong, but try to observe the other district down from Biliran to Culaba? You will experience heartache if you visit these places. You may be even made your tears drop I think, if you experience the rough road down these places. And try to visit Kawayan you will notice an accessible freeway linking the portion to the residence of the monster. I have also experienced the way down through the palace of Our Father in Biliran, a concreted and ever admiring site. Before when I went there, it was a rough road also but now it was already concreted. How unfair it was? I called this as an impediment rather than a development or advancement. For it is clear that economically, they are only doing things for their own benefits. Moreover this undertaking is onerous, unequal and one sided.

But this is not all there is to it. We still have time. The facts and the figures lies a multitude of voices waiting to be heard. LONG LIVE!

This election is my first time to exercise my rights to vote. I will stand for competency rather than by popularity.

We back 3 years ago when I was still in my high school at my ever daring Alma matter the Biliran National Agricultural College and has now being adopted by NIT. It was my observation during the 2001 elections, that practically you can’t win for a particular position if you don’t have sufficient funds to buy the votes of the people and after all poor the people. I went to observe the counting in one of the precinct in our Barangay I noticed a candidate for mayor who with him his over protective bodyguards armed with 45 and 9mm pistols and some with their paltik 38 revolvers came to the precinct. I was horrified at that time because of afraid of guns and goons who are cowards of the country. In fact we have a lot of guns and ammunitions at home and it was preserved by memories so that when time comes I run for Mayor or whoever in our family circle we can fights them. We are not show-off as what they are. I don’t know what will happen during and after elections. Two days more to come Election Na!. Bayaran Na! Tama Na! Palitan Na!
Their Biliranon, let us oppose and bar the move of those people who want to occupy Biliran for their own benefits and aggrandizement. LET US NOT ALLOW THEM TO MONOPOLIZE EVERYTHING IN BILIRAN. LET US NOT EVEN GIVE THEM ANOTHER CHANCE. I am Mark Bracamonte from Biliran, Biliran, and eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor P. Bracamonte, a student of University of San Carlos and a member of ANAKBAYAN.

Lyf is precious as it is, is not the be-all and end-all of things. Quality of lyf counts as well. And the most important of all is the meaning we attach to each of our own lyves/
