Kimberly Roan, Scholar of UK Based ACES Charity

RSG learned that a UK based organization awarded their first scholarship to San Guillermo Elementary and Morong High graduate Kimberly Roan. She's the daughter of Rolando and Bay Roan from Agas-as. Here's what ACES Charity is saying about her:

Our first ACES Scholar is 16 year old Kimberly. Her determination, intelligence and attitude shone through as she answered all our questions confidently and in perfect English (her second language of course). She is now applying for a place to study nursing at university – this place will be fully funded by ACES. Kimberly is the third of six children with ages between 20 and 12. Her father works as a rice farmer. Her eldest sister is due to complete a degree in Anthropology this year, her eldest brother is currently at college sudying business. Kimberly regularly features in the top few students in her class, and has done so since she started primary education in 1997. She has been singled out at Morong National High School for her abilities in essay writing.

According to the website, Kimberly will regularly post essays on her university journey. Here's her webpage.

Investigate Pasig dumping of Garbage in Taghangin - DENR

Read this report from Bayani Koh:

The DENR, through the Office For Field Operations, wrote a letter dated April 14, 2008 instructed the Regional Director of the Environmental Management Burau, DENR IV-CALABARZON to conduct immediate investigation on the issue of alleged dumping of wastes of Pasig City to the Morong Dumpsite that should have been closed and rehabilitated after the issuance of Authority To Close. The instruction also requires the Regional Director concerned to submit report and recommendation.

Let us hope the DENR will honestly report the true picture/situation of what is going on on the Taghangin Open Dumpsite.

Morong "Tungkor" in the News (Florida,US)

His sticks are made for walking
Tampa Bay Channel 10, 4/21/08

Largo, Florida - On most days you can find Reynato Aquino in his garage carving out a piece of paradise.

The 73-year-old retiree takes daily walks to keep his body active and fit. He keeps his mind active too.

One day on his walk Aquino noticed branches that had been cut back or fallen from trees on his path. That’s when inspiration struck.

Aquino picked up a few of the branches and took them to his garage. The more he looked at them the more he saw how beautiful there were and his new hobby of whittling was born.

It has given birth to beautiful and unique walking sticks.

He calls his creations "Tungkor," which in his homeland of the Philippines means walking stick. It’s a new hobby that has given him hours of delight.

Aquino says, “It’s so refreshing because the time will pass so quickly. My wife says, 'It’s time for lunch,' and I say, 'Wait, wait, I am right in the middle of something.'”

Aquino says each piece has a story to tell but you have to listen.

Aquino begins by carefully removing the bark and letting the wood dry in his garage. That process can take as long as three months. Putting the branches in the sun would be faster, but it would make the wood very brittle.

After it has dried, Aquino begins bringing out the natural beauty in the branches. Some of the walking sticks have the faces of wild animals like bears or monkeys.

Aquino believes almost everything can be given new life or a second chance. One look around his Largo home and you see what he means. Old coffee cans are planters and he’s turned items like DVD’s, old golf balls and vacuum handles into melodic wind chimes.

He still collects branches during his daily walks, but now he’s also looking up at branches that are still in the trees.

He’s already planning a second life once they fall to the ground or are cut away.

More of Aquino’s work can be seen by going here.

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee,
And show the great and might things
Which thou knowest not."

Jeremiah 33:3

HOW GREAT THOU ART

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
