Board of Review for Eagle Scout Awards

It is with great honor and pride to be included as one of the panel members of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines – Tagum City Associate Council’s Board of Review for Eagle Scout Awards held just this day, November 5, 2011 at Sangguniang Panlungsod, Tagum City.

I was once an applicant of the most thrilling part of my life which is the Board of Review for Eagle Scout. As far as I can remember when Tagum City is still a part of the BSP – Davao del Norte Council we were gathered at BSP – Davao del Norte Council Office located at the back of the RDR Gymnasium for our final interview. Beforehand, we made a lot of preparations – we undertake a series of training every Saturday together with the other Eagle Scout applicants. We faced a lot of challenges and obstacles along our expedition just to pass the Board of Review. I even got to the point when I was told to quit Boy Scout and just focus on my academics but because of my commitment, determination and goal – I still pursue and continue my journey in the scouting movement and even achieve the Eagle Scout Rank – the highest rank being attained by a boy scout.

It is very overwhelming and self - fulfilling on the day of our awarding. It was held at the Molave Hotel and it was participated by our mentors, distinguished guest and famous personality in our locality. Sctr. Jose Rizal – Pangilinan was the one who pinned as the Eagle Scout medal. I am thankful to our very enthusiastic and energetic adviser Mr. Arnel Cabalan, to the members of the panel during our time, our parents and family for an unending support and guidance and most especially to our Almighty Father for the opportunity he has given unto us.

My warmest and sincerest congratulations to Sctr. Maquiling, Sctr. Cabrera, Sctr. Rosal, Sctr. Dumdum, Sctr. Manguilimotan, Sctr. Cinco, Sctr. Pacamo and Sctr. Calib-og for passing the Board of Review for Eagle Scout!

Soar High, Be Excellent and Mabuhay!

DOST 2007 - Christmas Reunion

Christmas is a season of happiness and bliss; it’s an observable fact that it brings us all together in a spirit of tranquility, love and solidarity.

I am a living witness how our batch help one another, extend support to those who are in need and on how we reach within to embrace humanity. I am happy that there are still responsible individuals who in one way or the other initiate to realize a class reunion both from the two sections – Rizal and Del Pilar.

The memories and reminisces of the last get together party is up to now fresh from my psyche - the shared laughter, the unending giving out of experiences and the exciting games not minding the heat of the sun at Beach View Resort.

The reunion activity was even extended to the residence of my girlfriend and at that time the group came up to an idea to elect an officers that will supervise and administer the flow of the next reunion which will be this coming December 2011.

As the elected President of this batch I am calling all the Officers to please attend our Meeting this coming 5^th of November in the year of our Lord 2011 at Café Firenzo, Apokon Rd., Tagum City.

8th APRRC - Subic Bay

Since 2004, Rotaractors from the Asia-Pacific region, including our very own county, the Philippines, have annually convened in the Asia Pacific Region Rotaract Conference (APRRC) with participants from all over the region. The conference aims to unite all Rotaractors from the region and to equip them with new ideas and knowledge that will be useful in developing their personality and skills as future leaders of our society. During these conferences, members discuss common issues affecting Rotaract though innovative plenary sessions, workshop, recreational activities and fellowships. It is a festive and phenomenal gathering for young people across the region.

This years ARRC was held in Subic Bay situated along the Province of Zambales, chartered city of Olongapo, and adjacent Province of Bataan. It is administered by the autonomous government – the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority. The entire autonomous government unit is used to be a US naval base for many years and has been converted into international Freeport zone, making it known as the Subic Bay Freeport Zone.

The conference was attended by the different countries in the Asia-Pacific Region such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, China, New Zealand, Bangladesh and Philippines. The venue of our conference is the Subic Bay Exhibition Center (SBECC), so far the biggest convention center in Cental Luzon. We were house in the Subic International Hotel, one of the largest hotels ideally located at the heart of the Subic Freeport Zone.

The three day conference was filled with exciting and motivating activities – the highlights of the said conference are the following: Plenary sessions, interactive workshops, country reports where I was chosen among all District Rotaract Representatives in the entire Philippines to deliver the report, cultural night, Rotaract Festival, Amazing Race, Beachfront Party and the most awaited Mr. and Ms. APRRC 2011.

As the District Rotaract Representative of RI D3860, it is a great privileged to attend such convention of brilliant and interesting Rotaractors representing their own Rotaract Clubs and their county as well. I am proud to say that District 3860 was able to send 15 delegates to the said event – From the Rotary Club of Tagum North – 9 Interactors, 1 Rotaractor and 2 Rotarians; 3 Rotaractos from Rotaract Clubs of Cebu Port, Cebu South and Midtown Davao – UIC Chapter.

Cyril Muring’s Way: Tips on Public Speaking

Title: Cyril Muring’s Way: Tips on Public Speaking

Activity: Media Month, 4H Club Communication Seminar

Date: October 20, 2011 (Thursday)

Time: 1 p.m.

Venue: Ceremonial Hall, Capitol Compound, Tagum City

What comes out of your mind when you hear the words IMPROMTU SPEAKING or the other one EXTEMPORANEOUS TALKING? Sounds complicated isn’t it?

According to Webster Universal Dictionary and Thesaurus IMPROMPTU simply means an unprepared speech while Extemporaneous defines as a spoken or an acted speech.

Based from my experiences way back years before, I have been a contestant of this impromptu speaking contest as well as the extemporaneous talking competition; as what I understand with the mechanics of this battle of wit and intelligence is that; impromptu speaking is an unprepared speech where the contestant as soon as the chair committee reads the question or the statement to be elaborated the latter will answer it immediately while in the extemporaneous talking, contestants are given ample time to construct and organize their thoughts and ideas.

I won several speech competitions such as oratory, dramatic dialogue, story telling, debate, impromptu speech and extemporaneous talking - but for me the most challenging events are the impromptu and the extemporaneous, why did I say that? It is for the reason that both of this event are unprepared and needs abrupt construction of ideas; I even formulated an equation for that, NO IDEA = NO ANSWER!

Ideas and stored knowledge is the best weapon in Impromptu and Extemporaneous talking, you have to be good in your English, diction, enunciation, pronunciation as well as in your word emphasis, you need to have focus, determination, total commitment and most of all you need to read, read and read as well as practice, practice and practice – every now and then; you need to activate your neurons every day in order for your ideas not to be stagnant! The more vocabularies you have the better!

My first speech competition is when I was 6 years old and the recent one is just this year, I have been into a lot of places because of my winnings in speech contest, I also earned money and build a good character to other people. You need to be a role model to everybody – practice what you preach!

Would you like to be a good impromptu or extemporaneous speaker? Would you like to win in any speech contest? Would you like to go to other places? I can share with you my secrets for free! It is not anymore a secret because I am going to reveal it to you now!

Tips on How to Become a Good Impromptu/Extemporaneous Speaker:

1. Know yourself – it is very imperative to know your true self before engaging to any speech competition; you need to discover your strengths as well as your weaknesses as a speaker. Try to ask yourself with theses questions: “Is my English good enough? Have I mastered my fundamental rules in constructing sentences? Whether you like it or not Impromptu or Extemporaneous talking is using English as its medium of communication!

2. Be confident – in everything you do, in every endeavor you need to accomplish or in any decision you make you need to be confident! Confidence is a manifestation of a positive outlook in life! Remember! Don’t be misconstrued with being confident to being arrogant! It’s far different!

3. Be a wide reader – the more books you read the more knowledge you gain! Reading is an investment of the mind; it gives you a high interest rate and can make you rich more than you’ll ever know! Successful individuals are those who read a lot!

4. Practice makes perfect! – don’t you ever believe on the saying that goes “practice makes perfect but nobody’s perfect so why practice?” it’s only a joke and don’t take it seriously but instead you need to follow this one “practice makes perfect but nobody’s perfect so you need to practice more for you to become perfect!”; Spend an hour everyday talking to yourself in the mirror just make sure that there’s no one around seeing you or else they will be thinking that your having some mental problems.

5. Always ask Guidance to God – I find it very necessary! I will never forget the quote that my mentor in high school told me “Just do your best and God will do the Rest!”

6. Join Toastmasters International – If you really want to become the best speaker then join Palm City Toastmasters Club it offers you training on communication and leadership skills. Palm City Toastmasters Club is where leaders are made!

7. Don’t quit – before I end with my topic this afternoon please watch this video. Don’t ever quit! If you failed in life take it as a challenge! Don’t you ever quit because only losers do that!

Good Afternoon.
