The mark of true chivalry is not about using your authority and power to expel detractors. I admire this policeman, PO1 Joselito Sevilla, for standing on his ground despite the chaos and the temptation to use force in a situation like this. Crying is not cowardice nor is it about desperation — in this circumstance, it shows how one person can withhold emotions. Instead of using force to defend himself from the assault of some protesters, he chose to contain himself. Contained emotions has to come out and for PO1 Sevilla, it came as tears.

Blessing and Inauguration of the RSM Events Center
- The PWC Family gathered together in a Holy Mass dedicated to the Inauguration of the RSM Events Center
It’s a happy day!
Today, 1st of October 2011, the Philippine Women’s College of Davao family came together in their “happy red” outfit to celebrate the Blessing and Inauguration of the newest edifice within the campus, the RSM Events Center. It hasn’t been a long time ago when the foundations of this new building was laid-down. In fact, the construction only took approximately seven months to complete.
The event center was named after the first president of the Philippine Women’s College of Davao, Rosa Santos Munda. It is a realization of one of her visions that is to upgrade the school’s facilities in order to improve the quality of learning experiences of students enrolled in the institution. It is a dedication to her meritorious contributions in the growth and expansion of the PWC of Davao.
The event center can seat up to 2,000 individuals in theater type set-up and 500 individuals for banquet style set-ups. It has centralized air conditioning and leading edge sounds and lighting facilities. The backstage is spacious and complete with comfortable dressing rooms, toilets and wash area. The center has a huge parking area for guests.
Indeed, this new landmark is a testimony to the devotion of the PWC of Davao Board of Trustees, the EXECOM and MANCOM lead by Dr. Amelou Benitez-Reyes, the Faculty and Staff, and the commitment of generous PWC of Davao Alumni. It is a legacy to the many generations of students who will enter the portal of this institution and wear in their hearts the PWC heritage.

Day 001:
Today is 24th of August 2011, Wednesday … it’s a day of spontaneous events. Here’s what happened:
- I woke up early but got a little anxious because I left the house late. Anyway, I still managed to reach work 5 minutes before my official time, 8.00 am.
- I’m happy that we didn’t have TED Academic Council meeting so I had a chance to re-visit wordpress.com and refreshed my memory of blogging. Unfortunately, my old blog has expired because well my web-hosting subscription expired a year ago. I didn’t renew that one because I couldn’t afford it anymore. So I got a new blog and I’m using it now!
- It’s fun choosing themes for the blog. I chose the simple layout.
- The DLS staff had a luncheon meeting. It was like hitting two birds with one stone because it was also a celebration of Ms. Melba Susada’s birthday. Happy birthday, maam Melba!
- Mr. Bernard Beduya, my colleague at Philippine Science High School came to PWC for his MIS homework. I was glad to help him with his homework. So I toured him around PWC as I gave him an overview of our school.
- Then Janice SMSed me if I am free to go malling after work… something which I happily welcomed. So when the clock stroked 5, I ejected myself from the office, ignored the drizzle and went to meet Janice. We decided to go to Abreeza Mall. It was quite far, but it’s an opportunity to explore a new place. This was only my 2nd time in Abreeza since it opened last May. We wandered around until our feet hurt and had our dinner at McDonalds before going home. It was fun bonding with Janice and also a wonderful way to cap the day.
- On our way home, we took a taxi which is “moonlighting “… (well, by moonlighting I mean that the taxi took 5 passengers all going to Toril at 35.00 per head, instead of the usual taxi passenger arrangement). It was my first time to take such ride. There were advantages and disadvantages — the advantages were: first, there were only 5 passengers and all are going in the same destination, so there was no frequent loading and unloading of passengers. Second, we get to pass at routes where traffic is not heavy. The disadvantage was that it was not safe, the driver was quite reckless.
- I made a note to myself to learn Joomla… so I just finished downloading the software and starting tomorrow, I shall spend 2 hours a day learning to create a dynamic webpage!
- Last but not the least, I’m writing this blog at 11pm …. and I’m happy!
