KUWENTONG AYALA KO TO

Si Mariang sosyalera nag-shoshopping sa Ayala. Si Katrinang sobrang arte gumigimik sa Malate. Si Arturong presko kung kumilos tumatambay sa Frisco. Mga karaniwang larawang nagpapakita ng mga gawain ng modernong kabataan. Kabataan, saan ka nga ba patungo?

Pagdating ko sa Filipinas Heritage Library para sa oriyentasyon ng Ayala Young Leaders Congress 2007, natakot ako pagkat iba’t-ibang mga kapwa lider ko ang nakaharap sa akin. Panu naman kasi ako ang pinakahuling dumating, excuse ko naman, kasi po from Angeles City pa ako, (kamusta naman yung mga taga Mindanao at Visayas, dib a? haha) ehehe… at una pa akong natawag dahil “A” ang simula ng paaralan ko.

Nakatabi ko sa upuan ko mga tag San Beda at Ateneo. Siyempre English ang labanan dito. Napilitan pa akon gumamit ng ibang accent dahil ayaw kong matunugan nilang Kapampangan ako, hahaha. Nagkuwentuhan kami tungkol sa mga karanasan naming as “Youth Leaders” kuno. Siyempre binida ko ang mga projects ko sa AUF, hahaha. Pagkatapos, sinerve na nila ng lunch, medyo disaapointed ako kasi halatang maliit ung chicken ko, hahaha. After our lunch, we departed to Tagaytay City, kung saan daw gaganapin ang madugo ngunit sobrang saying Congress. Trully, I felt na sobrang bigatin kami dahil habang nasa Private bus kami, sobrang ang daming mga alalay ang nakasunod samin. Siguro feeling nila, kikidnapin kami, mga Ayala Girls and Boys ata kami, eheheh.

Nung nasa Tagaytay na kami, nabigla ako nung pagpasok ko sa Private Room ko, aba, susyal, hinakot ko buong bahay ko, eh bibigay naman pala ng mga Ayala ang lahat ng susuotin ko. Magmula sa T-shirts hanggang sa AYLC Jacket na plantsado’t nka-hanger pa. Sandali kaming pinapunta sa Dining room na bukas hanggang 10 PM ng gabi, upang kumain n gaming susyal na snacks, hahaha. Pagkatapos ng snacks, nandun ang Asia Ability na galling pa sa Malaysia yata, upang ibigay sa amin ang First Challenge Courses namin, haha. Actually, nung una hindi na ako nag-eenjoy sa mga pinapagawa nila dahil kamusta naman, mainit talaga kahit mahangin sa helipad. Pero nung bandang huli, nung nag-eenjoy na lahat sila, nag-enjoy na din ako, eheheh.

After nung mga challenge courses, nagpunta kami sa Session Hall para sa mga seminar sessions namin. Hay, nung mga time na yun, di ko pa talaga nafifil masyado ang spirit of Ayala. After our seminar, pinapunta na kami sa dinign room ulit, for our dinner. Grabe, sinong may debut naisip ko sa sarili ko, hahaha. Parang may negdedbut sa amin sa mga kinakain naming, hehehe. Talagang kakaiba sa mga kinakain sa mga typical na seminars. And take note, mainggit ang mga gusto mainggit, haha, unlimited service sa mga ice creams, bottled iced tea and sodas, bottled water, tetra packed fresh milk and chocolates, hahaha. Feeling ko nga sobrang nag-gain ako dahil 3 Am ng madaling araw na, nag a ice cream pa kami, hahahah. At syempre, ganun kami araw-araw, araw-araw may parang nagde-debut sa amin.

Pagkatapos, mabibigla ka nalang dahil pagbalik mo sa Private room mo, may mga freebies ng naghihintay sa iyo. Ilan lamang sa mga natanggap naming ay mga notebooks, pillows, sangkatutak na bags, at take note, may free USB pa kami from IMI, hahaha. Pero siyempre, mga “Youth Leaders” kami, hahaha, kaya nagfocus parin kami sa mga seminars naming sa Congress.

Ilan sa mga nagbigay ng talks sa amin ay sina, Mareng Winnie, Pareng Randy David, Former Chief Justice Panganiban, Cheche Lazaro, Malou Mangahas, at marami pang iba. At syempre, nagtanung ako ng mga questions after each talk, ehehehe. Syempre, malay mo, baka may equivalent grades kami pag sumasagot diba, ehehehe.

Pinakagusto kong nagyari sa Congress ay yung mga Outdoor Activities naming. Grabe, I conquered my fears, especially for heights. Kasi nag wall climbing kami, ehehehe, first time ko lang eh. Nag cross din kami between strings, huhu, may lift of faith pa. Talagang duduguin ka sa takot if first time mo lang, hehehe.

Nagustuhan ko din nung nag reflection kami sa Caliruega, ahahaha, nakakatawa kasi lahat ng ibang groups nag-iiyakan, ehehehe, kami lang kasi young nagtatawanan, ehehehe. Akalain mo, sabi ng facilitator naming, akala daw niya, Nuclear Physics ang tine- take ko, hahaha. Kamusta naman yun, Nuclear Physics daw, ahahaha.

Tapus may presentation kami, akalain mu naman, nanalo pa, ehehehe. After nung awarding of winners, sobrang namangha ako. Pinaglakad kami sa madilim na way, pero may madadaming candles sa nilalakaran namin, pumunta kami sa helipad at duon ininduct kami as new members of the Ayala Family, ehehehe.

After that, may fabulous party na binigay ang Globe sa amin. Mixed emotions na kami by that time, kasi alam naming the next morning magkakahiwalay na lahat kami, huhuhu. Pero siyempre inenjoy na naming ang lahat. Inenjoy ang foods, lalo na nag ice creams at kahit anong pwedi naming pagsamantalahan, hahahaha. Of course, hindi na kami natulog by that time, ehehehe, nagising pa ata si president Vicky Garchitorena, dahil nagvideoke kami, ehehehe.

Ilan lang ang mga ito sa mga experiences ko sa Ayala, pero ang tanung saan papunta ng mga lives namin after the Ayala.

Nasa sa amin na ang kasagutan sa tanung na iyon. Kung pipiliin naming magserve sa country o kung anu man. Pero ako, alam ko na may dapat akong gawin sa AUF, sa Angeles City at sa Pilipinas, syempre. Kaya gagawin ko ang bagay na iyon.

Dahil sa AYLC, alam ko na ngayon kung saan ako patungo, e ikaw, san ka?


PROCLAMATION RALLY 101

I must admit that at first, I really did not like what we are doing at that Proclamation rally that we have attended last Tuesday for our Communication 07 class, Radio and Television Productions. I mean we could have done other things that will not require too much effort on us for us just to be able to comply with the description of the course. But, after all, when we were already at our bus, I have just realized the very essential role media practitioners do in this society. And, every headache, heartache and hotaches (if there’s a word) I am experiencing just vanished away.

What do I mean? I may seem and sound cliché, but what can I do, the next thing I would say is the very reality. During the proclamation rally, it took sweats and stresses on us before we were able to pass the doors of the Convention center. Many people were there that made me thought that a stampede, perhaps, might be created. But since what we are doing is simply a requirement, we can’t do anything but to follow what is tasked on us. But you know, what is important there is what I have realized among us, future media men.

Our basic purpose then was to invite a senatorial candidate and ask them some questions for us stand up report. Like most media people nowadays, they would do everything, even risking their own security, just to earn a news bit that would be very helpful to the people and to the society.

After the proclamation rally, I am now more inspired to do all my best to finish my studies and to become a professional and sincere media person years from now.

I guess, worse than what we have experienced is what these days media people are experiencing, but, did they ever give up. I may not know the most true answer about this, but I am sure, they never. Instead, every hardship becomes their inspiration in striving for excellence and integrity in their career.

I hate the heat of the sun that have darkened our skins, I hate the crowd that have irritated all our senses, I hate everything that happened during that moment, but I really love what I have realized in the end.

THE HAPPIEST MAN

Happiness is the most important
thing for you to achieve in your life
Happiness can not be gained
It is earned by your heart
Happiness can be found
When you are close to God
and obeying his words
Happiness can be found
When you show your kindness to others
Happiness can be found
When you are nice to those you hate
Happiness can be found
When you help others
Happiness are the love and kindness
And learn to enjoy what ever comes along
Happiness is not far away from you
It is close to you heart
Happiness is serving God for all eternity
and once you fulfilled your wishthen
you are the most happiest man.
