Education Dept. Heads 2 School Events
By: Luzviminda Ubalde

For the first time, the Education Department of Aces Tagum College took the lead in celebrating the Nutrition Month and Buwan ng Wika culminating activities this year.

According to Mrs. Lilia M. Sugaran, Chairperson of Education Department, that for the previous years, the education headed the celebration of Buwan ng Wika only because the nutrition month activity was handled by the HRM/BSHRM department. “We were advised by the President to encourage our future teachers to practice handling big school programs for their future professions”, she added.

Dr. Francisco P. De la Peña Jr., President/CEO of Aces Colleges System, confirmed that the new arrangement was initiated to train the education students to administer and lead the said events by themselves. He further stressed that these students will not experience much hardships anymore in the field because they were exposed already in handling such activities, personally.

In addition, Mrs. Sugaran said that it was a good avenue for the students to actively participate to such events. “As we have seen before, only the contestants from the department participated in those celebrations, but now all of them take their share in showing their talents and abilities,” she added.

The said annual school festivities were a plain presentation only without any contests being done. Last July 27, 2008, the school celebrated the nutrition month culminating activity which showcases the presentations of the education students including the display of different fruits and vegetables.

Mr. Alfonso R. Ventures, College Dean, urged everyone to make it a habit to eat fruits and vegetables. He even put emphasis on the word HEALTH and its meaning which are the following: H for happiness because healthy people are happy people, E – energy, they act promptly, efficiently and always ready for effective action, A – alertness, healthy people are always vigilant, alive, prepared and wide awake for action, L - longevity which constitutes for longer life, T – thriftiness, careful in management of their resources, spend for a reason, H – Habit, healthy people always exercise, maintain proper diet and self discipline in times of eating. “Follow this pattern the soonest possible and you will stay healthy,” he emphasized.

On the other hand, different talents of the Acesians were shown during the Buwan ng Wika celebration last August 20, 2008. These include Ethnic Dance, Balagtasan, Isahan at Dalawahang Tinig, Interpretatibong Sayaw, Modern Dance, Mukhang Bayani, and the presentation of different tribes in Mindanao.

Mr. Rewyn Manuel and Ms. Rogen Lagmay hosted the nutrition month celebration while the Buwan ng Wika was hosted by Mr. Jefferson Acedo and Ms. Glory May Aguilar. #
