II. Suliranin ng mga Kabataang Inasahan ni Pepe


ni J.J.C.

Kabataan, sila ang simula’t sapul ang tunay


ngang inaasahan. Sa bayang unti - unting
namumulat sa kamusmusan, sila ang
maituturing na magpapatuloy sa mga
adbokasiyang nasimulan - ang kabataan.
Kabataang kasalukuyan na maraming suliranin
ang talagang kinahaharapan. Suliraning hirap
ang nakaraang henerasyong maintindihan. Mga
suliraning bago, mga suliraning moderno,
suliraning kapapasok lamang sa pandinig mo.

Suliraning sa mga social medias, na umuubos ng


panahong lumilipas; Suliraning kasipian tulad ng
depresyon. Na lumalamon sa pagkatao ng mga
kabataan ngayon; Suliraning gaya ng liberasyon.
Na sa pag-usad ng panahon ay

84
Community’s Holistic and Qualitative

bumubulok sa moralidad na itinakda ng


pamantayang maka-Panginoon.

Ngunit, sa kabila ng mga suliranin nila sa buhay,


mga suliraning sa kanila’y nagpapanday, ay
mayroon paring pag-asa katulad ng katulad ng
noon pama’y nababaybay. Dahil mas malakas na
sila ngayon, mas handa dahil sa hinubog ng
panahon. Dahil sil ay may mas maraming
nalalaman, dahil sa kanilang bawat pagbagsak,
lakas at tibay ng loob ang kanilang
ipinanglalaban.

Ito ang ilan sa mga katangian na kailangan nilang


armahan sa kanilang mga sarili para sa kanilang
makabagong laban.

At para sa mga naunang henerasyon, bagamat


naluma na ng panahon ay magsilbing paring
gabay at taga-tuon. Upang walang sinuman ang
sa kanila, sa mga kabataan, ang mawala sa
direksyon ng kataga. Ang kataga ni Jose na
pinagtibay at pinaglaban. Ang katagang “Ang
kabataan ay ang pag-asa ng bayan.”

III. Maraming panaho ang inilalaan naitin ditto sa


daigdig, maraming araw tayo ay nagsasaya,
maraming araw ay nakakaramdam din ng lungkot,
pero sa dinami-dami ng araw na nilagi natin sa
daigdig na ito ay minsan lang natin pinipili ang
lumago. Kailan ba kailangang lumago sa sarili? Ito ba
ay magagawa sa huli? Ayon kay John C. Maxwell,
ang paglago ay nararapat nang gawin ngayon!

Bakit ngayon? Narito ang tatlong dahilan na isinulat


ni John C. Maxwell sa kanyang akdang leadership.

Una dahil hindi automatic ang paglago. Maaring


umuusad ang edad mo ngunit hindi lumalago ang
pagkatao mo.

Pangalawa ay dahil ang paglago mo ngayon ay


magbibigay sa’yo ng magandang bukas. Lahat ng
nangyayari sa iyo ngayon ay bunga ng kung anong
ginawa mo kahapon. Kaya naman tulungan mo ang
sarili mo, upang sa mga susunod na panahon ay
kaalwanan ang iyong maranasan.

At pangatlo ay dahil bilang tao, responsibilidad mo


ang paglago. Ang pagpapaliban ng iyong mga
responsibilidad ay magdudulot ng kahirapan at
kapahamakan sa mga susunod na gagawin mo sa
darating na panahon.

IX. READING COMPREHENSION. Read the following


passages and answer the corresponding questions.

I. In the sixteenth century, an age of great marine and


terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand Magellan led the
first expedition to sail around the world. As a young
Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal, but
he became involved in the quagmire of political
intrigue at court and lost the king's favor. After he
was dismissed from service to the king of Portugal,
he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V of
Spain.

A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the


New World west of 50 degrees W longitude to Spain
and all the land east of that line to Portugal.
Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell
under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519,
Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More
than a year later, one of these ships was exploring
the topography of South America in search of a
water route across the continent. This ship sank, but
the remaining four ships searched along the southern
peninsula of South America. Finally, they found the
passage they sought near a latitude of 50 degrees S.
Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints,
but today we know it as the Strait of Magellan.

One ship deserted while in this passage and returned


to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to gaze at
that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who
remained crossed the meridian we now call the
International Date Line in the early spring of 1521
after ninety- eight days on the Pacific Ocean. During
those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died
of starvation and disease.

Later Magellan became involved in an insular


conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a tribal

113
Community’s Holistic and Qualitative
Institute – Civil Service Examination Reviewer

battle. Only one ship and seventeen sailors under the


command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived
to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus
prove once and for all that the world is round, with
no precipice at the edge.

II. Marie Curie was one of the most accomplished


scientists in history. Together with her husband,
Pierre, she discovered radium, an element widely
used for treating cancer, and studied uranium and
other radioactive substances. Pierre and Marie's

115
Community’s Holistic and Qualitative
Institute – Civil Service Examination Reviewer

amicable collaboration later helped to unlock the


secrets of the atom.

Marie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, where


her father was a professor of physics. At the early
age, she displayed a brilliant mind and a blithe
personality. Her great exuberance for learning
prompted her to continue with her studies after high
school. She became disgruntled, however, when she
learned that the university in Warsaw was closed to
women. Determined to receive a higher education,
she defiantly left Poland and in 1891 entered the
Sorbonne, a French university, where she earned her
master's degree and doctorate in physics.

Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne


with some of the greatest scientists of her day, one
of whom was Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre were
married in 1895 and spent many productive years
working together in the physics laboratory. A short
time after they discovered radium, Pierre was killed
by a horse-drawn wagon in 1906. Marie was stunned
by this horrible misfortune and endured
heartbreaking anguish. Despondently she recalled
their close relationship and the joy that they had
shared in scientific research. The fact that she had
two young daughters to raise by herself greatly
increased her distress.

Curie's feeling of desolation finally began to fade


when she was asked to succeed her husband as a
physics professor at the Sorbonne. She was the first
woman to be given a professorship at the world-
famous university. In 1911 she received the Nobel
Prize in chemistry for isolating radium. Although
Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illness from
her long exposure to radium, she never became
disillusioned about her work. Regardless of the

116

consequences, she had dedicated herself to science


and to revealing the mysteries of the physical world.
