Poem #1
Mathematics of Life
-Melvin Banggollay
Math is a subject that makes me sick
But with it, we can make fun if we stick
To ponder its operations and options
To find every answer to every questions.
But when joy is in our hearts, its fantastic
And we want to add more fun in our statistics
While some of us divide as they confide
The joy of their heart to others with pride.
When we love someone, we turned frantic
And we multiply our effort to be bombastic
But often we turned out to be problematic
For not everything we wanted is automatic.

Poem #2
Science In Everyday Life
- Martin Dejnicki
Everything works, because of science
Even your old kitchen appliance
What about your mom’s car?
Without science, it would not go far
With science, we could make
A computer or phone
If you want a twin , Just ask for a clone
Science will explain nature and trees
It’s also used, to find cures for disease
Science is cool, the evidence is clear
It’s so much fun, enjoy it my dear.

Philippines: The Place You’d Love To Be
-Georgia Benidectos
Have you ever been to the Philippines?
My true country, the place you need to see
Look for all of its natural beauty
Travel across, by air, by land, by sea.
Enjoy all the beautiful sceneries
The pearl of the orient as we know it
Where the sun rises like the golden rays
And it welcomes you with a tight embrace
In Luzon, hop through the hundred islands
In Visayas, see the Chocolate Hills
In Mindanao, climb up the Mt. Apo.
And all of these places you need to see,
Satisfy your eyes with the sceneries
The Philippines is where you need to be.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
