Scene 1 (Classroom)

MMC: Alam niyo ba si Mr. Espejo, tumandang binate yun dahil dalawang beses kong binasted. (tawa) At si Ms. Kuwan, hindi yun nag study leave ‘no, nagpa abort lang yun sa Amerika!
MMC: O siya, tapusin na ang tsismisan, Ituloy na natin ang leksyon. Para maging fully democratic tayo, kailangan itaas ang literacy rate. Kailangan, westernized ang ating pamantayan. By doing so, hindi tayo magiging uncivilized sa Western standards. Ano sa palagay mo Jojo?
Jojo: Kailangan Ma’am, mas basic ang pagtingin sa problema. Bakit hindi umpisahan sa economic condition ng bansa? Kung kuntento ang mga tao, edi tuloy ang gobyerno. Pero kung hindi, abnormal ang sistema. Hindi basta dapat mataas ang literacy rate. Mga manipestasyon lang ito ng talagang problema.
(Nagulat si MMC)
[Bell rings]
MMC: See you in my cubicle after lunch. (To Jojo.)

Scene 2 (Daydream ni Jojo)
Jojo: Problema na naman. Buti pa sa bahay, ako ang bida. Pag kasama ko ang aking mga kababayan, ako ang sikat. Pero dito sa eskwelahan, walang isko-scholar ng bayan.
[Flashback]
Jojo: Gusto ko na huminto sa pag-aaral.
Tatay: Hindi pwede. Tanga ka ba? Sayang ang pagkakapasok mo sa UP! Magtigil ka.
Jojo: :l

Scene 3 (Hinanakit ni Jojo)
Jojo: * Ay buhay estudyante, maka-uno lang, lulunukin ang sariling dila. Grade lang naman, problem ba yon? Uno kung uno. Singko kung singko.
*Aral sa umaga, tanghali at gabi. Hindi naman maintindihan ang pinag-aaralan. Sabi ni Mrs. Moral Character siguro ay dapat may iidoluhin ako sa aking mga guro para magsipag ako.

Scene 4 (Mga teacher ni Jojo)
Jojo: * Sino naman kaya sa kanila ang dapat kong gawing idolo?
*Yung teacher ko sa English, basta makapag ingles lang at mapakitang sosyal siya, maligaya na siya.
*Yung teacher ko naman sa Math, basta may pagkain okay na. Ang lakas pa magsabing wag kaming iinom ng alak at mag do droga. E siya nga tong mukhang manginginom sa kalsada.
*Yung teacher ko sa religion, OA naman ang kabanalan. Tila oras-oras nagdadasal. Kulang na lang, ipag-novena pa kung ano ang kakainin niya. Ayun, kaya hanggang ngayon, binate pa rin. Di pa daw kasi dumadating ang “the one”.
*Yung Science teacher naman, kinareer ang pagka matalino. Halos di na nga makapag suklay dahil masyado daw siyang busy sa Animalia, Plantae at kung anu-ano pang organisms.

Scene 5 (Ibabagsak si Jojo at Minyong)
Jojo:
* Sa amin sa barkada, dalawa kaming mag gu goodbye my school goodbye. Kick-out ako dahil sa kagaguhan daw. Si Minyong nama’y sa kabobohan daw.
* Ganito raw ang naging usapan ng mga guro sa pagtiyak na dapat nga kaming palayasin sa pinakamamahal naming paaralan.

English Teacher: “hindi naman korum, say quorum, kuwow, quorum. That’s correct, that Jojo boy has no sense of de-quo-rum. I feel that he is brilliant, only my reservation is that..”

Math Teacher: Papasok yan sa klase ko nang nakainom, para pang nang-iinis na lalapitan ka at ipapamoy ang kanyang hininga.

Mr. Discipline: That’s true, that’s true. I swear to God that’s true. And he is always absent. I don’t want to give him excuse slips anymore.

So what is the verdict of the group?
I cannot pass him.
Ako rin.
God will punish his naughtiness.
I will report the matter to his parents immediately.

Scene 6: (Si Minyong)
Jojo : *Inaakusahang baliw si Minyong. Si Minyong kasi ay “cultural minority”. Bobo daw sabi nila. Pinagsalita siya nang pinagsalita para raw mawala ang inferiority complex, pero ayun, nang matutong magsalita, na-shock silang marinig ang katotohanan.

Minyong (to English teacher) :
Akala mo naman Amerikana ka Ma’am , e mali-mali rin naman pagbigkas mo sa mga salita. Wer is yor De-kuwo-rum?
(other teachers laugh)

(to Math teacher) :
Ikaw nga sir, ang lakas ng loob mo mag-leksyong wag mag alak at droga, e kita mo nga yang beer belly mo, para ka nang si Santa. At kalian ka ba walang hawak na pagkain ha?
(other teachers laugh)

(to Mr. Discipline)
Ikaw sir, kulang na lang magpasan ka ng krus dahil sa sobrang kabanalan mo. Dapat sa seminary ka nagturo. Hindi dito sa UP.
What a crazy person.
Oo nga, di naman beer belly ‘to. Baby fat ‘to.
Ipagdadasal kong mawala pa ang pagka-baliw mo.

Scene 7: (Pagbagsak kay Minyong)
*Dumako naman tayo sa pagbagsak kay Minyong.
I find him kinda weird lately. What shall we do with him?
Definitely I cant pass him.
Oo nga. Mauuso ang bobo sa eskuwelahan.
Pero cultural minority yan brothers and sisters.
Excuse me, there is only one standard of excellence and we cant make an exception.
E ano?
Ano pa, edi ibagsak?
Ibagsak. (Chorus)
Jojo: Tapos na ang kaso ni Minyong bago pa man simulan ang deliberasyon. Ngunit hindi naman sila ganun kabilis maghatol. Tulad sa kaso ni Osias at Armando.

Scene 8 (Mga Teacher’s Pet)
Let’s pass Osias already.
Pero mababa yan sa Physics. Pero sabagay, madami nang nabigay na chocolates yan sakin.
E talaga namang mahirap ang klase mo.
Thoughtful ang batang yan. Kahit saan ka makita ay panay ang Good Morning.
At prisintado agad yan pag marami kang dala.
True.
How about Armando? Another cultural minority?
Excuse me, he is a thorough-bred minority.
Ang sweet sweet ng batang yan, manang-mana sa tatay niya.
And so handsome ha. Plus his father’s a doctor.
Ipapasa ko yan, kasi absent lang lagi kaya mababa.
Ano? Pasado na ‘tong dalawa?
Approve.(Chorus)
Jojo: Ang hirap talaga sa mundo pag di ka marunong sumipsip.

Scene 9 (MMC and Jojo)
(Jojo Enters)
Come on. Sit down.
Called you for two reasons. Our lesson and your attitude.
Jojo, ang tao’y hindi pulos tiyan tulad ng gusto mong palabasin.
Walang essence ang pinagsasabi mo kanina. That is an a priori statement. Jojo, do you get me?
*Huwag mo pansinin. Ngiti lang. (Nod.)
Our lesson is more complicated than you thought. What you mean probably is the role of economic determinism in contemporary philosophy, which is altogether wrong. Why not use the elite approach? Behaviorism is the trend in the west. Why not imitate them?
*Dapat pala ikaw na lang prof ko sa English e. Ang deep mo p’re.
To be honest, I don’t like your attitude in class.
I’m sorry Ma’am. (humiliated)
*The feeling is mutual Ma’am. I also don’t like you.
Can I go now Ma’am?
I’m not yet through.
They saw you in the chapel last night
*Diyos me, pati pala personal life ko pinapakielaman.
How young are you Jojo? Speak up.
Speak up, I said.
17.
17 and already you are…..
(tumayo para umalis)
I’ll let you mother know about this.

*Gusto ko na talagang magwala. Gusto kong isambulat sa mukha niya ang lahat ng hinanakit sa mundo. Ano bang masama sa ginawa ko sa chapel? Magkahawak lang naman kami ng kamay ni Tess. (nakita nung English teacher sa chapel sina Jojo at Tess)

Scene 10 (Jojo + Barkada.)
Jo, balita nami’y bida ka na naman.
Hayaan mo ang mga hayupak na ya’t magsasawa rin sila.
E kasi naman pa-chapel-chapel pa kayo. Kung nag motel kayo, edi wala silang alam.
Tigil.
Ano bang ginawa niyo sa chapel ni Tess?
Kahit anong madyik, wala kang magagawang milagro sa chapel.
Ligawan mo kaya si Mrs. Gles-ing para di ka na isumbong?
Tarantado, isa ka pa.
Tara na lang sa Cubao.

Scene 11 (Inuman)
Ano ba talaga ginawa niyo sa chapel?
Ano pa, di holding hands. Masama ba yon? Bakit kasi ang dudumi ng isip nila? Akala mo’y hindi nakipag-holding hands nung bata.
Sila kaya, paano naging tao?
Nagtinginan lang, nabuntis na.
(tawanan)

Lagyan kaya natin ng thumb tacks yung upuan ni Mrs. English?
Di aaray yun, pag naalala yung poise niya, sasabihing, oh, I mean ouch.
Hihihi.
*Buti pa tong mga gagong to, nakukuhang ngumisngis. Ako kaya? Kanino pwedeng magreklamo?

(Malalim ang pagiisip ni Jojo. Sa sobrang lalim, napapa jingle na siya.)

Scene 12 (Ang iniisip ni Jojo)
Jojo: *Ayaw kong maging kagaya ni Minyong. Naiihi ako. Ayaw kong maging robot. Naiihi na talaga ako. Ayaw kong maging bato. Naiihi na talaga. Hindi baling drop-out, basta tao.
Jojo. Maka-jingle nga muna.

Scene 13 (Pag-jingle ni Jojo)
*Marami nang mga graffiti ng mga iba pang reklamo ang nasa cubicle na iyon.
Jojo: * Magrereklamo rin ako sa pader kung kailangan, hanggang may makabasa at makarinig sa aking sumbong. Pero sa ngayon, iji-jingle ko na lang muna ang sama ng loob ko.
(jingle)

THE END.

Thesis Writing

...------------------------------------------------- Thesis Writing: A Guide for Students By Jennifer Swenson The Sparrow’s introduction to thesis writing is a clear-cut and comprehensive tool for those who are about to embark on one of the more difficult projects in all of academia. Thesis writing is not an art; rather, it is the product of many months of research and painstaking hard work. Whether you are writing a master’s thesis, a PhD thesis, or any other form of this venerable genre, I hope this guide will serve you well. Thesis Writing Background What is a thesis? A thesis is essentially a research report. It addresses a very specific issue and describes what is known about that issue, what work the student has done to investigate or resolve it, and how that issue may play out in the future. It is the thesis writer’s responsibility to familiarize her with the history of the issue and the different points of view that exist. The thesis writer works with a mentor who is an expert in the field that the thesis concerns, but not necessarily an expert on that exact topic. Usually thesis topics are so specific that very few people in the world except the thesis writer herself could be considered an expert on them. Your thesis writing will make a contribution to the field about which you are writing, and in a larger sense, to all of human knowledge. A thesis is distinctively different from an undergraduate research report because it is so original. How Specific Should My Thesis Get? When writing a thesis, you should...

Thesis Statement

...The thesis statement that I have come up with for my “big idea” topic is: I believe we can better our economy by changing the way the government assists the citizens financially with programs such as food stamps, otherwise known as EBT. The government shapes society and the government needs to help society help themselves by making a few changes to the way it disburses our tax money. I think this thesis is going to be effective because it shows my main focus of the essay I will be writing, which is to change the way government assists families of low income. I want to stress the option of giving more money as school grants rather than giving it for food. Another option would also be limiting the options of foods that are okay to purchase with EBT. Right now, there are no limitation other than alcohol or pre-prepared foods. You can even purchase energy drinks at the moment. If people weren’t given everything for doing nothing, they may be more likely to further their education and get a better job to provide such luxuries as fatty foods or sweets and energy drinks. I see a major problem supporting this thesis with fallacy, mainly because I have such strong personal opinions. I am going to have to force myself to rely on straight facts and pure research to get my point across. For my research, I am going to stray away from any sort of blogs or websites put up as a riot against the government. I will do my best to find websites that are “.org” or .gov”. I think a good...

FOREWORD The nature of a research study should be one in which the investigation leads to new knowledge or enhancement of existing knowledge in the student's field of study, either through acquisition of new data or re-examination and interpretation of existing data. At the graduate level, all students should learn how new knowledge is created, how experimentation and discovery are carried out, and how to think, act and perform independently in their discipline. Depending upon the degree to which the discipline has an applied orientation, the student can demonstrate mastery of the discipline through means such as research papers, literature reviews, artistic performances, oral/written presentations or case studies. The doctoral dissertation is viewed in academia as the ultimate model of documentation of the student's research. The characteristics of dissertation research include the theoretical background, description of the problem, the method which was used to solve the problem, interpretation of results and explanation of their significance. The student is expected to produce a product of excellent quality which reflects...

...CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY Thesis Writing and ETD Submission Guidelines for CEU MA/MSc Theses and PhD Dissertations (Revised and adopted by the CEU Senate 7 December 2007) The thesis or dissertation is the single most important element of a research degree. It is a test of the student’s ability to undertake and complete a sustained piece of independent research and analysis, and to write up that research in a coherent form according to the rules and conventions of the academic community. As the official language of study at CEU is English, students are required to write the thesis/dissertation in English to a standard that native speaker academics would find acceptable. A satisfactory thesis should not only be adequate in its methodology, in its analysis and in its argument, and adequately demonstrate its author’s familiarity with the relevant literature; it should also be written in correct, coherent language, in an appropriate style, correctly following the conventions of citation. It should, moreover, have a logical and visible structure and development that should at all times assist the reader’s understanding of the argument being presented and not obscure it. The layout and physical appearance of the thesis should also conform to university standards. The purpose of this document is to outline the standard requirements and guidelines that a master’s thesis or PhD dissertation (hereafter the term ‘thesis’ is used to cover both MA and PhD except where the PhD...
