Aral Tayo (Tagalog for “Let’s Study”) Japanese

A few days ago, I got a message from a friend asking me if I know a good online Japanese language tutor. I answered “How about me?” He replied “Can you still do it?” I smiled to myself.

My friend knows me very well. I work full time for one of the leading Japanese contract research organizations (CROs). I have 3 lively and bubbly kids ages 10, 7 and 4 years. I don’t have convenient access to house help due to some reasons (budget among others) and I dedicate my Sundays to attending Church. Basically, 24 hours is never enough to maintain balance in family and work. What I do is I cut my sleep hours at home and just steal some nap times while I commute by train (about an hour but I get to nap by around 20 to 30 minutes).

“Are you looking for a tutor for your daughter?” I asked. “YES! She is into Japanese animes, Ghibli films. So, this summer, we are thinking to put her to an online school to make her busy.” He replied.

I don’t really know a good tutor at that moment. My instinct led me to check YOUTUBE for Japanese language learning materials. Voila! I saw a lot of materials for basic Japanese learning. But I encountered really nice ones that are direct to the point, easy to be understood by all ages, and even found one series of lessons made by a Filipina which I find good for beginners. So I sent him the links and messaged him to update me if the materials would work for his daughter for now and we will then decide what to do next.

The same day, I was able to watch Japanese TV Programs featuring a half-Filipino male dancer who mentioned that his mother only knew some conversational Japanese and for 30 years, her Japanese has not improved.

I thought of Filipino friends from Church who asked me to teach them Japanese but I never had the chance to teach them yet.

I thought of Filipino friends from Church who started going to free Japanese language centers but stopped because of various reasons.

I thought of my nieces and nephews who tried hard to communicate with my children when we visited the Philippines and surprised me when they understood some of my children’s words because they are also in to animes and Japanese food.

I thought of a cousin’s boyfriend who will soon come to Japan to work as a trainee and is currently studying Japanese.

I thought that screening materials readily available in the web may benefit all of them.

I have so many thoughts in mind, especially now that almost all people, including me, are just at home to control the COVID-19 spread. But let us just reserve them for the next blogs.

For now, I will just give you the first set of my recommended links. Please check them out for an overview. On my next blogs, I will give some insights, target schedules, and other ideas on how to study each topic effectively. Feel free to follow this blog site.

Who Is SB19? The Filipino Pop Group Is Going To Steal Your Heart

In 2017, ARMYs rejoiced as BTS broke Justin Bieber’s streak as the sole winner of the Billboard Music Award for Top Social Artist. Before the Bangtan Boys earned their first BBMA that year, Bieber claimed the award from 2011 (when the award was first created) to 2016. But BTS’ 2017 victory was no fluke — and the K-pop kings have dominated the award category every year since. This year, their competition includes Ariana Grande, BLACKPINK, SEVENTEEN, and another record-setting act called SB19. So, you might be wondering: Who is SB19?

SB19 is a five-piece Filipino boy band consisting of members Josh, Pablo, Stell, Ken, and Justin. Princes of Pinoy pop (dubbed P-pop) — a popular contemporary music genre in the Philippines that’s inspired by everything from original Filipino music to K-pop and J-pop — SB19 is the first Filipino and Southeast Asian act to earn itself a BBMA nomination for Top Social Artist, which awards artists based on their social interaction and engagement with fans online. The group is also the first Southeast Asian group to break into the top 10 of Billboard’s Social 50 charts.

Of course, each member of the group has their own vibe, too: Josh is the lead rapper and supporting vocalist; Justin also provides supporting vocals; Ken is SB19’s main dancer and lead vocalist; Stell is the main vocalist and lead dancer; and lastly, Pablo is the group’s leader and main rapper. Here's everything you need to know about SB19 — study up!

They were trained like your fave K-pop idols.

Even though SB19 is a P-pop group from the Philippines, they grind with a K-pop ethos. This is no coincidence: the boy band was established by ShowBT Philippines, the Philippines-based subsidiary of the South Korean entertainment group, SBT. Similar to the process that aspiring K-pop idols experience, the five SB19 boys auditioned to be talent for ShowBT. Once they were selected, they formed the group and were trained like K-pop's finest for three years, before debuting in 2018.

Their debut album dropped in 2020.

Although SB19 broke onto the scene in 2018 with their debut single "Tilaluha," the P-pop crew just released their first album, Get In The Zone, in 2020. The project features "Tilaluha," along with eight other earwormy bops ranging in genre — from EDM-inspired pop and dance to contemporary ballads and emotive R&B. A few of their most streamed songs are title track "Go Up," and singles "Alab (Burning)," and "Tilaluha." Each song has a totally unique energy, so Get In The Zone is an album for every #mood.

SB19 has multiple music videos and even a web series.

The perfect introduction to SB19's artistry? Their music videos and web series. Despite only having one full-length project, the SB19 boys take their visual content super seriously — and they've got the the clips to prove it. With tons of already-released music videos under their belt (one for almost all of the non-instrumental songs from Get In The Zone) there's plenty SB19 to marathon-watch on their official YouTube channel.

In addition to amazing music videos, the group also knows the importance of connecting with their fans via behind-the-scenes content. For "What?," their latest single, the band delivered a five-part docuseries following their journey recording the track and filming its accompanying music video. Titled What: The Making Film, the mini-series is definitely proof that the SB19 boys are total content kings.

Fans are called A’Tin, which means "ours" in Tagalog.

If you're already falling head over heels for SB19, join the club — of their thousands of stans, that is. Dubbed A'tin, which means "ours" in Tagalog, SB19's fandom naturally originated in the Philippines. However, as the band is further embraced by international audiences, the fandom has grown rapidly — and its fandom's name is a reminder of both the group's origins and their acceptance and appreciation of their fans. SB19 introduced A'Tin as their fandom's official name because they wanted to share their successes with their supporters, which is so cute.

To keep in touch with SB19 and share the love with your fellow A'Tin, follow the band on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

In the Philippines, divided politics, divided web

Jessica Mendoza, CS Monitor, April 9, 2018

MANILA--Mocha Uson sweeps into her office at the presidential compound, assistant at her booted heels. She’s late, rushing in from another engagement that ran longer than planned. But she appears composed, almost reserved, as she arranges herself on a faux-leather settee and waits for the interview to begin.

In this setting it’s hard to picture Esther Margaux Uson, known countrywide as “Mocha,” sashaying across a stage in vinyl hot pants or dispensing advice on sex and relationships. Yet for the better part of a decade, provocative entertainment was the core of her career--first fronting for the Mocha Girls, an all-female music group known for racy numbers, and later responding to intimate reader questions via a series of written and video blogs.

Then in 2015, she learned about Rodrigo Duterte.

“He was different from traditional politicians. And at the time … there weren’t any well-known personalities who publicly supported him,” Ms. Uson says in a mix of English and Tagalog. “So I said, ‘I have to make a stand.’”

Through the first few months of 2016, she stunned the Philippine political world by converting the Mocha Uson Blog to an online rallying point for supporters of President Duterte. Its transformation was in some ways the singular product of a nation that regularly elects celebrities into government and ranks first in the world in social media use.

Her ascent, however, also reflects an evolving global political landscape, where information is democratized and every opinion has the opportunity to find a platform. Citizens can directly hold institutions like media and government accountable, while the latter can respond to their constituents sans mediator. Given reach and charisma, anybody with a voice--sex symbols, high-school students, TV comedians, real-estate moguls--can scale the heights of political influence and authority.

The price is often decreased civility, and consensus, say experts. Tribal lines are quickly drawn and held, and fact becomes flightier, hard to pin down and easy to manipulate. The social-media savvy--both individual and corporate--possess more power than ever to shape the tone, trajectory, and themes of political discourse.

Few countries today epitomize this new reality as clearly as the Philippines, the social-media capital of the world, with a norm-breaking president whose campaign supporters harnessed this shifting online landscape to win the election. And few individuals embody it as clearly as Uson. As the 2016 campaign season picked up steam, her name became inseparable from the Duterte lobby, drawing animosity and acclaim in near-equal measure from Filipinos at home and abroad. Her Facebook base has since ballooned from 2.5 million to more than 5 million--a figure that remains unrivaled even by the head of state she serves. In May 2017, after a brief stint with the government’s entertainment regulation board, she was named assistant secretary at the Presidential Communications Operations Office.

Uson shrugs when confronted with her apparent success. “The journey has been colorful and exciting. And I have a sense of fulfillment,” she says. But to her, much of the road thus far seems inevitable. Her feelings about Duterte’s candidacy compelled her to speak out on his behalf, she says, and she felt just as obliged to use Facebook to do so. Because what better way to spread an idea than on a platform that boasts up to 67 million users in the Philippines?

“Everything is on social media,” Uson says. “We can’t avoid the fact that it’s the direction information dissemination is going.”

Experts around the world have been making similar pronouncements since at least 2008, when Barack Obama became among the first politicians to leverage social networks to get out the vote. Less than three years later, the Arab Spring--the series of revolutionary protests that, thanks to Twitter, swept across Tunisia, Egypt, and the Middle East--became, briefly, a symbol of social media’s potential to reinvigorate democracy.

Today about 2.6 billion people use social media worldwide, up from fewer than a billion in 2010. From India to Sudan, the US to the U.K., social media--and the very public web of information and misinformation it weaves--has helped elect leaders, birth movements, crush rebellions, and intensify divides.

Mr. Duterte’s election proved to be the watershed moment for social media and politics in the Philippines. Leading up to 2016, frustration with political leadership after decades of what was widely perceived as weak and corrupt government coincided with a rise in affordable mobile data plans. Filipinos yearning for political change had better access than ever to the online political sphere.

“It made it so much cheaper to engage with each other,” says Tony La Viña, former dean of the School of Government at Ateneo de Manila University. “People felt very liberated to be able to participate in debates, to have [their] opinions disseminated.”

For those who understood the social media space, it also meant new opportunities to amass both profit and political capital. Bloggers like Uson--”influencers,” in public relations parlance--rose to prominence, becoming the most powerful voices for those who had felt excluded from public discourse. Indeed, much of the success of social media in Philippine politics has pivoted on the perception that it is the unvarnished and authentic alternative to traditional media: the newspapers, television and radio stations, and online news sites that Duterte supporters say all but ignored the president’s campaign and continue to smear his administration with negative stories.

“It was the erosion of trust in mainstream [news outlets]. People were looking for an alternative voice,” says pro-Duterte blogger Rey Joseph Nieto, also known as “Thinking Pinoy” (a Tagalog slang term for Filipino). “They found me, [blogger] Sass [Rogando Sasot], and Mocha--for better or for worse.”

“Fake news” is a constant preoccupation of bloggers on the other end of the political spectrum, as well. But their goal is to support, not subvert, traditional media.

“Most of my posts are about debunking false propaganda and calling out the shortcomings of government officials,” says Jover Laurio, whose Pinoy Ako Blog (“I am Filipino”) drew attention for its cutting letters addressed to the administration and its allies.

“And to stop the killing,” she adds, referring to the president’s violent antidrug campaign. “Every time I write a letter, I pray that they read it.”

Less conspicuous than the blogger cohort are the PR and marketing firms who manage politicians’ social media campaigns. A report released earlier this year explored the extent to which such firms, and the strategists who run them, have developed a blueprint for manipulating political opinion in the Philippines via social media. Using the techniques of corporate marketing, these “architects of networked disinformation” hire teams of “digital influencers” to push a particular message on Facebook comment sections and Twitter feeds. The campaigns, which can involve seeding revisionist history or hijacking attention through artificial hashtags, are motivated largely by profit, according to the report.

“The thing about social media is, its incentive structures are about visibility,” says Jonathan Corpus Ong, co-author of the report and associate professor of global digital media at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. “What comes up on our news feed is the one that is more popular and is most liked. There are ways in which these algorithms can be gamed and manipulated. That’s made it easy for particular operators to weaponize [it] for politics.”

The effects of all this on the Philippine political space have been far-reaching--and familiar, to audiences following social media’s effects in the West. Online vitriol is at an all-time high. Trust in traditional media outlets is at an equivalent low, with Filipino webizens saying they trust social media more than mainstream publications.

And there’s the sense that, especially on social media, there exist two realities. In one, the Philippines is a place of fear and chaos, where innocents are gunned down in the streets and a foul-mouthed despot encourages ruthless justice against those who defy him. In the other, the country is just beginning to ascend to economic heights and international prestige through the ministrations of a strong, if somewhat vulgar, leader willing to do what needs to be done.

Smart releases free-to-download kits, videos for virtual classes

TO help ensure continuous learning in education’s new normal, PLDT wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) has released video resources suitable for teachers’ virtual classes needs, all aligned with the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) of the Department of Education (DepEd).

Supplementary teaching materials include the LearnSmart e-Storytelling series, Maging Laging Handa disaster-readiness videos, and the gardening web series Kalye Mabunga.

Bringing the magic of stories into people’s home through technology

In partnership with DepEd, the LearnSmart e-Storytelling Series was initially released in May 2020 on the Smart Communities Facebook page. Main storyteller Rey Bufi is the founder of The Storytelling Project, Smart’s partner organization that has been sharing the love and joy of reading with kids in remote communities.

For its re-release as supplemental learning materials for virtual classes, all 31 e-Storytelling episodes were enhanced to include Filipino sign language translation. Each story, which aims to teach kids about their own uniqueness, and important values such as acceptance, inclusivity, courage and obedience, concludes with an in-depth analysis by a child psychologist.

Content are mostly in the mother tongue, as studies show that this facilitates better understanding and enhances the learning experience. This is all in keeping with Smart’s goal of providing original homegrown content in local languages to local communities.

Promoting a culture of preparedness to children

Maging Laging Handa supports DepEd’s initiative to integrate disaster risk reduction in the education curriculum. The video series covers precautionary measures and safety tips for various calamities such as typhoons, floods, tsunamis, storm surges, earthquakes, and landslides.

Reviewed and approved by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, and the Mines and Geosciences Bureau of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, materials include a DepEd co-developed teacher's guide on how these videos can be integrated into curriculum.

Maging Laging Handa features Tonipet Gabba as online instructor; three puppets namely Inay Lena, a mother hen; Brownie, a dog; and Kali, a carabao; and all-original Tagalog songs aimed at making the learning journey richer and more exciting. Episodes simplify disaster-related concepts like the typhoon signals, rainfall warning signals, and the differences between a storm surge and a tsunami.

Raising awareness on food security

To educate children early about the basics of food security, Smart and the Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Training Institute (DA-ATI) produced a web series called Kalye Mabunga. This is in support of the government’s ongoing Plant, Plant, Plant campaign that encourages people to attain food security at the household level by making available healthy, nutritious food in their own homes.

Each 10-minute episode tackles topics such as choosing which vegetable, fruit, and herbs can be planted in an urban setting, as well as tips on garden maintenance and proper habits. Episodes on making gardening supplies out of recycled materials, as well as using plants for art projects, aim to encourage children to get interested in plants.

Upholding quality education for sustainable development

The release of these videos on YouTube follows DepEd's recent announcement that resource materials under the Smart-backed CVIF-Dynamic Learning Program (CVIF-DLP) developed by the Central Visayan Institute Foundation (CVIF) can now be downloaded for free from DepEd Commons. Just visit www.commons.deped.gov.ph and go to the Spotlight folder. After clicking on the CVIF-Dynamic Learning Program folder, just select the grade level and subject for junior or senior high school, then download the needed files. The DepEd portal, as well as www.dlp.ph, can be accessed by Smart, Sun, and TNT subscribers even without data load.

Supported by Smart and PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) for over a decade, CVIF-DLP is one of only three supplemental learning materials being endorsed by the DepEd for this school year.

Along with other subsidiaries of parent company PLDT, Smart recognizes quality education as a foundation in improving people's lives and obtaining sustainable development. In support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG), particularly SDG #4: Quality Education, education continues to be a flagship CSR program throughout PLDT Group, with a strong emphasis on digital literacy.

The War of Translation!

http://hagarthehorrible.com/comic_tag/language-barrier/

Link: https://search.proquest.com/docview/1683319372/fulltextPDF/FA1C8E6B6BA04188PQ/1?accountid=15053

Within his scholarly article, “The War of Translation: Colonial Education, American English, and Tagalog Slang in the Philippines,” Vicente L. Rafael discusses the role of language in nationalist attempts at decolonization during the Commonwealth Era and beyond. Within the Philippines, Rafael outlines that “American colonial education imposed English as the sole medium of instruction,” and that as a result, “native students suppressed their vernacular languages” (283). He also outlines a shift; as time passed, the use of translation and language shifted from being a means to dominate to being a democratizing, playful expression in a postcolonial context. Rafael talks about a series of speeches given by Najeeb Saleeby who spoke about the failure of imposing a foreign language as a tool for dominance. Saleeby states, “three centuries of Spanish rule [...] failed to check the vernacular [...] twenty five years of intensive English education has produced no radical change.” (288). Rafael notes that due to the prevalent use of local languages and widespread English-language education pushed by the United States, the Philippines developed a dialect of English that was unique to the islands. The American colonial government had hoped that English spoken in the territory would be identical to American English. When Philippine English emerged as a separate dialect, the American government attempted to discourage the use of it. This aligns with our argument that Filipino people were able to use agency to take the imposition of language thrusted upon them and morph it into something helpful and fun to them.

Rafael, Vicente L. "The War of Translation: Colonial Education, American English, and Tagalog Slang in the Philippines." The Journal of Asian Studies 74.2 (2015): 283-302. ProQuest. Web. 21 Oct. 2018.

A long information about Her.

This is an autobiography about a girl named Trizha Anne, but also known as “Shang”. It will give you a lot of information about her. Some details here are personal, funny, and sometimes dramatic. So please, bare with my typographical errors, grammatical errors, and some of my dramatic lines.

A 17 year old girl named Trizha Anne Navarro. Who lives in Manila, more specifically in Tondo. She was born on June 30, 2001. And her sodiac is sign is Capricorn, and she’s a snake. Her parents are, Belinda Navarro and Ivanh Navarro. She has a sibling named Francheska Navarro. She has a two pet dogs namely, Clark and Mimaw. She has a 40/60 personality, 40% immature side, and a 60% mature side. She’s like a toddler sometimes, but sometimes she act like a 30 year old woman.

She went to Andres Bonifacio Elementary School, which is located in Tayuman. And she graduated high school in, Cayetano Arellano High School. She’s really bad in Filipino subject because of its deep words and meanings. She loves the English subject, because of that subject she learned how to write poems in English, she can also write poems in Tagalog but she’s more fluent when it comes to creating an english poems.

She’s in grade 12 this year, taking humanities and social science or HUMSS strand in Perpetual Help College of Manila. She chose HUMSS because she wants to be a Psychiatrist. Why psychiatrist? Because she wants to help people coping with depression. But, she also wants to take tourism as her course in college.

She has a lot of hobbies. She likes to watch series in Netflix such as “Riverdale, Stranger things, iZombie, etc” She also likes to watch K-Drama. She usually spend her day watching those movies. Another hobby of Shang is to make poems, she loves to read and write poems. About love, life, and even depression. Her favourite authors are the famous couple, Lang leav and Michael Faudet. She’s a huge fan of their works. Her third hobby is to read conspiracy theories, historical articles, and some facts about a certain things. She wants to dive in the deep web, but she has no access nor courage to go. And her last hobby is she collects books, different genres. She’ll buy and buy more books, even though she’s not yet done reading with her old books.

This girl has a goal in life. She maybe the shit type of person. But, this girl’s goal is high enough to reach the sky, kidding. Her ultimate goal is to be happy. She also wants finish college, have a decent job, make everyone proud. Like what every other teenager wants. But, again she just wants to be happy, genuinely happy. A girl with no fear, sadness, and messy thoughts. Shang is a loud, annoying, and stupid friend you’ll ever meet. She’s a dumb, slow, yet a happy girl on the outside. Little do they know, she cries a lot every night, wishing for her death. She cuts her skin to ease the pain. She deals with depression, anxiety, and insomnia each night. Little do they know, her mind is killing her with its unsaid thoughts. She’s a suicidal person telling other suicidal person, that suicide is not the answer. She gives advice to many depressed people. She helps them and give them ways on how they will fight with depression and anxiety.She gives motivational words, she encourage people to be happy. But, Shang, herself can’t even help herself with her own mental illness. She wants to help people because she doesn’t want those people feel what she feels. That’s why she’ll take Psych as her course in college.

Trizha Anne is a bisexual. She likes both genders. Some people use this as one of her flaws, just because you’re a bisexual, doesn’t mean you’re a disgrace in a family,or a plague in society. She embraced herself as one of the member of LGBT community. Shang is not ashamed for who she is, and what she is. Sometimes she thinks she’s a trash, but still she’s ashamed.

That is all you need to know about her. Maybe this autobiography will help you to know her more before you judge her. She also wants to leave this message “ Whoever you are, and whatever you do as long as it makes you happy and you don’t step on someone’s life, live your life to fullest. Because you’ll never know if it will happen again, and thank god always, for everything. adiós y gracias a todos”

Prairie Nurse

It’s winter in the prairies, late 1960s. Two young nurses, just off the plane from the Philippines, arrive at a rural hospital in Arborfield, Saskatchewan – population 300. No one can tell the two nurses apart; including the dim-witted lab technician at the hospital who falls in love with one of them but accidentally courts both. Homesickness, unfamiliar customs, and amorous advances complicate the women’s lives.

A culture-clashing comedy of errors with heart, PRAIRIE NURSE was inspired by the playwright’s mother and the legacy she and others with similar experiences have contributed to the fabric of Canada.
