THE SILENT PROFESSIONALS
Philippines is divided politically, religiously,
geographically. We have so many intellectuals who onlycriticize and point finger but none are willing to venture
into the mud and get their hands dirty. Institutional
corruptions and breakdowns of systems, palakasan,padrinos are the so called cancers in our society.

THE SILENT PROFESSIONALS
Only a paradigm shift can correct the status quo and it
never happens unless teachers are properly trained andinformed on this great noble effort. Therefore, the
teachers, the silent professionals, will charge the nation not
just into the 21st
century and beyond but also into a societythat is fair and just to every Filipino people.

CHINESE ANECDOTE
The wordcrisis is writtenasacombination of two characters: first is
thecharacter for dangerand second one for opportunity. As educators,
we should look beyond the swirlingchaos of this global economiccrisis,
but instead recognize the opportunity thatmayawaitas soonas the
dust settles.
