“Planting a tree is essential to youth participants”
(www.youthpinoy.com)

Manila, Sept. 12, 2011- In a tree planting organized by the Youth Commission of CBCP
and Care Foundation, 50 youth people from the diocese of Antipolo together with the
mentioned concerns planted trees for the celebration of the National Tree Planting day,
a project of the said commission.

Young people had their unique stories to tell about their experiences during the trek to
the site and the planting itself.

Experiences to share:

Jon Karl Estanislao, a 2nd year high school student shared that even if there is
hardship in climbing the mountain, it was fun doing it.

―Pahirapan sa pag-akyat pero masaya. Ayos lang po na mahirapan kasi ginagawa po
naming ito para sa kalikasan at para sa susunod na henerasyon‖, Estanislao shared

Estanislao planted 4 seedlings and for him, it was enough to meet the needs of Mother
Earth but still, he will continue to plant more trees.

For his part, Ivan Jefferson Ogana, 12 years old, looks to the idea that planting a tree
is important for the environment.

―Ang pagtatanim ng puno ay importante para sa akin upang makatulong sa ating
environment. Sa panahon ngayon, laganap ang climate change na kung saan, ito ay
sanhi ng global warming. Kailangan magtanim para maagapan na lumaki pa ang
problema sa climate change‖, Ogana said.

Ogana and Estanislao are students from Nuestra Senora de Aranzazu Parochial
School
in San Mateo Rizal. 49


MOVERS

Another participant, Mark Joseph San Nicolas, a youth from St. John the Baptist Parish
in Taytay, Rizal said that the goal of joining the event is to plant.

―Ang goal natin ay magtanim, matapos na magtanim, nawala ang pagod na
nararamdaman ko kasi natapos na yun goal na minimithi. Kahit ang daming hirap nung
pag-akyat at pagbaba, nakakawala ng pagod dahil sa saying nararamdaman mo na
nakapagtanim ka ng puno para sa ikakaganda n gating kalikasan‖, San Nicolas said.

Estanislao, Ogana and San Nicolas had one idea on mind, to plant trees in order to
help the environment and for future generations to come.

Other feedbacks

Gilbert Lorenzo from St. John the Baptist Parish Taytay, Rizal said that climbing the
mountain has something to share to them.

―Itong pag-akyat natin ay pwedeng ihambing sa pag-akyat sa langit. Gusto nitong
ipahiwatig sa ating lahat na ang pag-akyat sa langit ay hindi madali. Madami kang
hirap na madadaanan at hindi isang matuwid na daan ang iyong dadaanan‖, he also
said.

Meanwhile, two participants who are high school students from Nuestra Senora de
Aranzazu Parochial School said that they are lucky.

Jeannen Manahan shared that other than the positive experience, there is also the
negative part especially when she nearly collapsed during the climbing of the
mountain.

50


MOVERS

―Yun experience ko is both positive and negative. Positive, kahit na gusto ko na mag-
collapse, nagtry pa din po ako, determinado pa rin po akong makapunta sa
destinasyon. Iniisip ko nalang kasi na may mga taong mas nakakaranas ng hirap
kaysa sakin. The negative part naman po is yun pagod at hirap sa pag-akyat at
pagbaba sa bundok.‖

For Clarice Magbuo said that they are gifted than the youngsters living in the mountain.

―Gifted po kaming mga batang nakatira sa siyudad, kasi ang mga bata ditto, araw-araw
po nilang inaakyat baba ang bundok para lang pumasok sa paaralan at pumunta ng
bayan. Masasabi ko pa din na ang nilakad naming kanina ay mahirap pero may
katuturan‖, she said.

Care Foundation headed by the director thinks that there is still hope from young
people in this generation.

―There is quality participation, hindi lang tree planting kundi may consciousness
reflection ang mga batang pumunta. Naemphasize ang faith dimension nila. Makikita
natin ditto na sa kabuuan, ang lahat ay bukas ang loob para makapagcontribute sa
kalikasan‖, Fr. Alfredo Albor said.

When asked about his message to the youth participants, Fr. Garganta said, ―Sa lahat
ng ating kabataan, mabuhay kayo at ipatuloy natin ang gawain na pagtatanim ng puno,
bahagi ng paglingap natin sa kalikasan.‖

The Episcopal Commission on Youth together with the Executive Secretary, Fr.
Conegundo Garganta hopes that may be more than the expected 1 million quotas will
be planted at the end of the celebration of YOTY.

51
Garganta also said that their aim is not just to plant trees but also to take care of it.


MOVERS

―Bahagi po ng ating sinimulan ngayon ay ang pagtatanim at mailagay sa kamalayan ng
nagtanim na may pangangalaga na dapat susunod nating gagawin upang mamonitor
natin ang ating seedling o punla na tinanim ngayon at tunay na tutubo na maging isang
ganap na puno. Sa taong ito at sa susunod na taon patuloy naman yun monitoring ng
punong tinanim‖, he also shared.

The participants were from the parish youth ministry of St. John the Baptist Parish in
Taytay, Rizal, students of Nuestra Senora de Aranzazu Parochial School in San Mateo
Rizal and some staff from ECY-NSYA together with the staff of Care foundation planted
300 seedlings on the mountainous area of Brgy. San Jose, Antipolo City.

“Team Building at Leadership Seminar sa isang araw!”
(Estanislao, Jon Karl)

Inilunsad ng SAVE ME Movement ang “Teambuilding and Leadership Training
Seminar” noong ika-6 ng Agosto na ginanap sa Auditorium at Gymnasium na kakabit
ang temang “Kabataang Sama-samang Handa at Naglilingkod sa Kalikasan.”

Layunin ng programang ito na; sa pamamagitan ng pagbubuklod-buklod ng mga
kabataan at sa tamang pamamahala ay maaring mabawasan ang mga isyung
kinakaharap ukol sa problemang pangkalikasan.

Ang programang ito ay nagbigay daan sa mga miyembro ng SAVE ME Movement
hindi lamang upang magsaya bagkus para matutunan ang tamang pamamahala bilang
mga susunod na lider, at sa pagsasakatuparan ng misyon ng organisasyon: “The
education of the hearts and minds of the people to instill greater awareness of, concern
for, and responsibility to the imperative of sustainable life on earth.”

Nagsimula ang nasabing programa sa isang panalangin para sa kalikasan,
Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas, Vision-Mission-Goal Statement ng SAVE ME
Movement, ang pagpapakilala sa isa’t isa at ang pagpapatupad ng house rules.
Sinundan ito ng pagpapakilala sa guest speaker na si Edwin Chinel Monares, Doctor
of Public Administration na nagtapos sa PUP, na siyang founder ng SAVE ME
Movement.

Ang paksa ng tinalakay ni Doc. Edwin ay may pamagat na “Transforming Leadership”
na may kaugnayan sa tema ng programa. Bilang isang professor, doctor, at consultant,
maganda ang kanyang mga itinuro. Pinaliwanag niya ang mga ugaling dapat na
taglayin ng isang mabuting lider, mga hakbang upang makamit ang ninanais, uri ng
pamamahala, at pagkakaiba ng manager sa lider. “Ang solusyon upang mabawasan
ang mga problemang pangkalikasan ay ano? Edukasyon! The education of the hearts
and minds of the people to instill greater awareness of, concern for, and responsibility
to the imperative of sustainable life on earth. Dapat tayo maging isang responsableng
lider para makatulong ukol dito.” isa sa mga binitiwang salita ni Doc. Edwin. 53


MOVERS
“Team Building at Leadership Seminar sa isang araw!”
(Estanislao, Jon Karl)

Matapos ang isang mahabang talakayan, sinundan ito ng boodle fight na kung saan
naglaban-laban ang Team Air, Earth, Fire, at Water sa presentasyon ng pagkain.
Sabay-sabay kumain ang apat na team kasama si Doc. Edwin.

Nagkaroon muli ng talakayan na sinimulan ni Doc. Edwin matapos ang boodle fight.
Pinamagatan itong “Economics, SAVE ME Movement Leadership Institute.” Tungkol ito
sa pagtugon sa pangangailangan ng tao ng hindi nakasisira sa kalikasan (Sustainable
Development).

Sumunod na ang pinakahihintay ng lahat ng movers: ang teambuilding event. Ito ang
pagkakasunud-sunod ng mga activity: creating team flag and yell, message relay,
water relay, connecting lines, jigsaw puzzle, spider’s web, at caterpillar walk. Kitang-
kita sa mga mukha ng movers ang pagtutulungan at pagpupursigi upang manalo kahit
na anumang pagsubok ang hinarap. Tumagal nang halos tatlong oras ang
teambuilding event.

Matapos ang teambuilding event, nais ni Doc. Edwin na malaman kung ano ang
natutunan ng mga mover. ―Ano ang natutunan mo sa kakatapos lamang na
teambuilding event?” tanong niya. “Natutunan ko po ang kahalagahan ng pagkakaisa
at ng tamang pamumuno. Dahil po doon ay natapos po namin ang mga pagsubok at
nakamit ang ninanais; iyon ay ang manalo at mapanatili ang matibay na samahan sa
loob ng aming team” sagot ng isang mover mula sa Team Water.

Bilang presidente ng SAVE ME Movement at isa sa mga nag-organize ng event, hindi
rin ako nakaligtas sa tanong ng founder. “Ikaw Mr. President, sa tingin mo ba ay
naging matagumpay ang teambuilding event na ito?” “Sa tingin ko po ay naging
matagumpay ang teambuilding event na ito dahil natutunan ng mga mover ang
importansya ng pagtutulungan at tamang pamamahala bilang isa sa mga susunod na
lider. Kahit gaano po kahirap ang mga pagsubok, pinilit nila itong harapin at tapusin.
Nagagalak po ako at ang aking mga kasamang officers dahil naging matagumpay ang 54
Teambuilding and Leadership Training Seminar 2011.” Ipahahayag ang mga nanalo sa
teambuilding event ng SAVE ME Movement sa susunod na pagpupulong nito.

“Eco-Committee: Aksyon Para sa nagbabagong Mundo”
(Alvarez, Chanhelle and Estanislao, Jon Karl)

Bilang tugon sa pagbabawas ng suliraning pangkalikasan, itinatag ng paaralang
Nuestra Señora de Aranzazu Parochial School ang Eco-Committee, isang komite na
binubuo ng mga guro, estudyante, at mga miyembro ng faculty. Sama-samang
aaksyon ang mga kasapi, at maging ang mga bumubuo ng nasabing paaralan, upang
matugunan at maisalba ang kalikasan sa gitna ng maraming pagbabago sa mundo.
Ang pagkabuo ng komiteng ito ay isa pa lang sa maraming hakbang upang
mapreserba at maibalik ang balanse ng kalikasan. Imposible man para sa pananaw ng
iba, maaari pa pa din ito kung maniniwala at aaksyon para sa gusto makamtan. Ang
mga sumusunod ay ang mga pangalan ng mga estudyante sa Eco-Committee:
