I think I still have a lot of questions regarding how we can do our BINGKIS field activities from our homes during a pandemic. But I have full faith in my instructor regardless.

# data[].attributes.body
I know there are still a lot of adjustment to happen and uncertainty because of the shift to online learning. But with this orientation i know the formators have a good grasp of how to handle given situations.

# data[].attributes.body
Although the future tasks are daunting, through the guidance of the formator and our own initiative, we will be able to power through the course.

# data[].attributes.body
The tasks look overwhelming. I have a questionable net service, but I can manage. I look forward to have an open communication line with the formator to be guided accordingly in case we have concerns.

# data[].attributes.body
Even if online NSTP might be more difficult, I know that the formators will be able to guide us when communicating with our partner communities and help us accomplish the course.

# data[].attributes.body
The tasks in this course seems challenging, but significant tasks are always that way. I hope that internet connection won't limit my immersion within this course, but I'm confident that Ateneo and the formators have worked around that possible problem.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite the challenge of being online, we can trust that our formator will be there to guide is in our learning with the consideration of our personal situations.

# data[].attributes.body
Though it isn't promised that NSTP will have the same set-up as an onsite one, it still hopes to instill the same level of learning and experience through our area engagements; and that it manages to allow us to somewhat provide a different understanding of marginalization through talking to those that actually experience such.

# data[].attributes.body
Although fully-online NSTP will be a new experience and there will be many challenges, I do think everyone can make the most out of it by putting in effort.

# data[].attributes.body
Although conducting NSTP in an online setting will be one of the many firsts to happen, our formators have come up with a structure and an outline that still helps its students engage with their assigned partner communities. The lack of physical interaction will not be a hindrance to the Ateneans' opportunities for being in service of others.

# data[].attributes.body
This NSTP is a fully new experience since it in a fully-online one. But i hope that it won't lessen our experience in engaging with the partner community even though it means of online course.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that everyone involved in BIGKIS is trying their best despite the setting we are in now. I hope we make it fruitful and meaningful.

# data[].attributes.body
I am interested to see how SocSc13, NSTP 12, and our major subject will collaborate and combine things.

# data[].attributes.body
I had, and honestly still have (some), doubts about an online NSTP but given the frameworks provided and all the information and schedule of activities laid out, I hope to continue to have memorable experience with NSTP

# data[].attributes.body
NSTP 12 seems pretty difficult given our current situation, but I am certain that we will learn a lot of lessons once we overcome these challenges, which we can apply in future situations as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Bigkis is the next step to our formation as Ateneans. Although our interactions with the community will be online, I hope that we can make the most out of our experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly, I am afraid of the workload for this class because it seems like we will be doing a lot for this quarter. However, I cannot wait to work with the partner community because I do believe that this experience will be memorable to me.

# data[].attributes.body
I still have apprehensions with doing NSTP online. I hope that I will be able to make full use of my abilities to be of service. Hopefully we achieve what we set out to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm similarly feeling anxious about the tasks for this class but am confident that we will be provided with the guidance that we need from our formators!

# data[].attributes.body
NSTP is where we'll put into action the wisdom from our SOCSCI course, and is the opportunity to discover the depth of social engagement by actually translating our theories and goals for and with our partner communities into physical projects.

# data[].attributes.body
Although the course will be fully online, the formators are there to guide us every step of the way so we can all learn from each other!

# data[].attributes.body
I think that having BIGKIS online will push us further to try and make a difference in spite of the odds stacked against us. I just hope that we would be able to still approach this holistically and not have it be just another transactional, requirement-based class.

# data[].attributes.body
Although we are jumping into this new form of NSTP without many of the facilities and advantages of face-to-face learning, it's clear that we can still make efforts to make the most out of this for ourselves, the formators, and especially the partner communities. We could even find other pats or points of interest we wouldn't have thought of in the onsite class.

# data[].attributes.body
Actually I am kind 'a scared but somehow interested because I will be learning new things from this course even in a virtual way due to our situation that we encounter right now. It is my first time to hear about this kind of course and I want to widen my knowledge and skills about this. And I hope that our formator will do his or her best to share and guide us about their knowledge about the course.

# data[].attributes.body
Whether NSTP 12 will be conducted online or on-site, it will still be up to me to grow as a person for-and-with-others and to carry this growth and disposition into the professional world.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the online mode of implementation for NSTP 12 will present various difficulties that we wouldn't have to face if the pandemic didn't happen but, I am relieved to know that the formators are ready to give us their support on the event that we face unexpected challenges that are beyond our means.

# data[].attributes.body
Although adjusting to the online setup is quite difficult especially since NSTP requires on-site experiences, as long as we all put in the effort to support and help one another we will be able to get through it. The online setup is difficult on everybody and could lead to a lot of misunderstandings, so we must try out best to be patient and understanding with one another.

# data[].attributes.body
With the help of the formators, we students can still have a meaningful engagement with our partner communities even if we are in an online environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Sadly, the experience won't be as immersive as it would on an on-site setting, and it would be more challenging now, but I still wanna know how I can make a difference and how I can grow despite these circumstances.

# data[].attributes.body
Though the online set-up may be a difficulty, we can still face it head-on if we listen to our formators and follow the guidelines.

# data[].attributes.body
Given our current situation, I think it's going to be a team effort on both the students and the formators in making the necessary adjustments in contributing to the success of this course. We all have to give us much as we can in order to still have a great and meaningful immersion experience with our partner communities.

# data[].attributes.body
Bigkis is going to be a culmination of my past NSTP experiences, and I think that helps me guide my mindset going into the course.

# data[].attributes.body
It looks like the workload is a lot and it would be a challenge now that a supposedly on-site class is now online. But with the orientation, I think the formators would help us make NSTP engaging and meaningful given the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
I am still slightly intimidated of how we can create an output that also will be able to create meaningful impact within our partner community but I am excited to start learning with my formators and group how we can push for this.

# data[].attributes.body
despite having an online setting, NSTP 12 makes me further understand how I can use my privilege to help make the lives of everyone around me better and develop a further understanding on how to create programs that will address their concerns

# data[].attributes.body
I think NSTP will help us to be more grounded and join together to be WITH our kapwa.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm scared of the workload for both SocSci and NSTP but I know the formators will guide us even thugh it will be fully online.

# data[].attributes.body
While I am still wondering how exactly this class will function in an online setting given the type of content for NSTP, I feel like enough care has been given by the formators to run a good course this quarter.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm still curious how the activities will go with online learning. I'm sure it will be a challenge, but seeing how thorough the details were in Module 0, I think we can coordinate through this okay. :)

# data[].attributes.body
I'm wary of how things will work out considering the online setting but I am hopeful that we will be guided thoroughly to do our tasks well. I am also looking forward to working with the partner community as NSTP has always given me meaningful and memorable experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
I only found out now that NSTP does not actually affect qpi. Other than that, I'm sure NSTP won't be as immersive as the previous one and due to restrictions can become more difficult, output-wise.

# data[].attributes.body
Provided that we listen to the formators, an online NSTP set-up can still bring about a fruitful experience with our partner communities.

# data[].attributes.body
I know that this will be hard because everything needs to be done online and we are not used to doing this but I know that the formators can do this and so can we.

# data[].attributes.body
Though I've been wondering how we were going to do NSTP (which was a hands-on experience) online, the module gave context how, and I definitely think it will be an interesting challenge to take on.

# data[].attributes.body
the goal/purpose of NSTP/bigkis is to instil compassion and awareness in hopes that what we know and what we learn will inspire us to want to create change. there are/have been changes made to better accommodate the new learning environment as well, and our formators have worked hard to ensure that the course will still be as fruitful as if we were to experience things in real time.

# data[].attributes.body
Although NSTP will be more challenging given the limitations of online engagement and how we'll navigate this through the online setting, with the guidance of and cooperation with our formators and partner communities, we'll all be able to make the most of this experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Although an online NSTP will definitely be much more different than the regular NSTP, I hope that we will still be able to get valuable experience and power through despite the challenges.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm concerned about how we'll manage to do an online NSTP with marginalized areas that may not have the resources to steadily connect with us over the internet. I'm also very curious about what my specific engagement area will be.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite the gravity of the workload for this course (and its partner courses), the Bigkis team has done great efforts in adapting the course to the online setting. With great hope, the online NSTP experience will be as life-giving as it would have been should it have been conducted outside the online setting.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the first time we are experiencing a online NSTP. It will be an unforgettable one, and I expect to learn a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm excited to be working with our partner community! I know it will be a challenge given our current set up, but I feel at ease knowing that our formators are always ready to help.

# data[].attributes.body
Even though the NSTP is fully online and is surely unfamiliar for all of us, i think that this program would not only help us grow, but also help communities who are in need.

# data[].attributes.body
I am worried about my internet connection and how it can be faulty which could affect the way I participate in the activities this class will hold.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm concerned about my internet connection which is shaky at best. I am also worried about how these tasks will be conducted since online learning isn't for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm concerned about the power outage that happens in my city because of the rain. But I'm sure that my formators would understand such situations. I hope I can make the most out of this experience despite the challenges.

# data[].attributes.body
I will do my best in order to adjust and adapt to the current situations right now. This would help me develop a wholistic view of what's truly happening in our country in a different perspective.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that Bigkis is not just about learning how to address a problem/project. It also teaches how to cooperate with people in doing so, as evident with the "bundle of palay" analogy.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea of a purely online NSTP experience still seems very new and daunting. It's a big adjustment for everyone. After the orientation, however, seeing that the formators have a vision of what made me feel more secure about the program. I hope that the NSTP experience this year will be just as memorable as the ones before it!

# data[].attributes.body
I’m not very confident about how we will proceed with the tasks, but I still fully trust the formators in guiding us towards an enlightening and memorable NSTP experience.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm a little bit nervous for the fully online NSTP experience since not only is it the first time it is being carried out but also because WiFi has been unstable. When the weather is bad, so is the connection. I'm glad the formators are willing to actively help us make the most out of this experience and are readily preparing us.

# data[].attributes.body
My main concern for anything that concerns a community is how I'm going to be of utmost service to them. I don't know if what we will do from our screens will be enough to help them in the ways they need, however I rest easy knowing that at least we get to meet them and build some rapport with them in order to fully gauge their situation. I think all in all, this experience is an exercise in problem solving-- some things cannot wait until things go back to "normal" and so we have to adjust.

# data[].attributes.body
Seeing the Bigkis logo alone, I was reminded of the rice fields my lolo tills at our farm at the foot of Mt. Banahaw; and seeing him and other farmers toil from day to day and regale come harvest time — in a cycle of sowing and reaping. The program orientation module only reinforces this belief that it would be presumptuous of us, Atenean students, to think that we can speak on behalf of voiceless people like them. The voiceless have always had their own way of speaking; the challenge for us, hence, is to listen.

# data[].attributes.body
Online area engagements should not mean that the experience of interacting with our partner communities will be hindered -- it means that we all will find new ways to impart learnings unto each other in new ways, and they will be much safer.

# data[].attributes.body
I have reserved feelings about how the other subjects (IDS and Soc) will coordinate with NSTP in these trying times. I hope that everything goes accordingly.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite the many challenges that having NSTP online presents, I'm sure we will all be able to push through it with the help of our formators.

# data[].attributes.body
With the current situation Bigkis has changed a little bit but I believe it will be a meaningful experience despites the change to online learning. The task seems a little bit harder due to the online nature but im sure with the help of our formators and our fellow classmates it will still be a fruitful experience.

# data[].attributes.body
This course (especially given the current circumstances) is meant to be a partnership and a journey with both the community and our formator.

# data[].attributes.body
I was initially apprehensive about conducting NSTP online due to the effects of the online setting on the impact of area engagements. However, this module shows how OSCI has put in a lot of effort for the course to still be substantial and insightful for both students and the target communities. I'm looking forward to what the course has in store for our online engagements.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my first time to hear Bigkis course. It seems difficult because it will be done online. I know that not only us students having difficulty in this situation but also our teacher and formator. Communicating is most important.

# data[].attributes.body
Although it may not be ideal to have NSTP online, what matters is that we can still find alternative solutions to help our partner communities.

# data[].attributes.body
I was originally very unsure about online NSTP, and while I still have questions (that I'm sure will be answered along the way), I am grateful for all the effort and care our instructors have put into prepping all of us with what to expect.

# data[].attributes.body
Although our circumstances aren't ideal, the core of NSTP and the Bigkis program has always remained the same: for us to be formed into professionals that are for-and-with-others. Even though being in an online setting isn't the most immersive experience, I'm still thankful that we have an education embedded in a paradigm that takes context into account, for the purpose of bettering the society within that context.

# data[].attributes.body
This NTSP is different as it will be done online and we'd be facing new challenges. But I believe it can be done and I will make the most of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I am excited to engage w and help out our communities!

# data[].attributes.body
I'm concerned with how the course will go along but I understand and appreciate how much thought and effort went into the preparation for this program

# data[].attributes.body
What I understood is that we're still in it, for ourselves and others. The pandemic may attempt to impede us, but there are still ways for us to help others and learn.

# data[].attributes.body
Concerned in such a way that Bigkis is not done face to face. But I believe that if we help each other it can run smoothly.

# data[].attributes.body
Given the online setting of NSTP, I know that it will be a lot different from what it normally is, but the module has given me a better understanding of how it will be conducted. From the module, I see that we will still be able to help our partner organizations and interact with them despite it being online now.

# data[].attributes.body
I think there will be a lot of challenges, especially because the engagement is an online setting, but as individuals I believe we should just aim high and still make an effort since the goal is to help out people

# data[].attributes.body
It's very interesting how the NSTP course has been doing their best in ensuring that the NSTP program can still continue even during this pandemic and the limitations of the online setting.

# data[].attributes.body
i really do want to help out despite the the hard time that we all have right now . this new way of learning it is really hard for all of us but but its a need that we all have to

# data[].attributes.body
Even if NSTP can be challenging as it has been transitioned into an online setting, I believe that everyone can still learn and make the most out of it with initiative and effort exerted.

# data[].attributes.body
I realized how much work and thought the coordinators put into this whole program, when I couldn't even imagine how it would work at the beginning of the year

# data[].attributes.body
doing an online engagement could be very challenging and there are still quite a few apprehensions about conducting NSTP in this setting but I can see that a lot of thought and effort was put into this and i'm grateful for that

# data[].attributes.body
I'm looking forward to engaging with our community. I hope that there are not too many problems posed due to the given circumstances of the online learning scene.

# data[].attributes.body
I initially had apprehensions about conducting NSTP on an online setting, however I am still grateful for the effort that OSCI had put into this course

I feel like we reached uncharted territory and that it might be completely unpolished, but hey, we got no choice and I understand that we gotta do what we gotta do
