REFLECTIONS by John Cris C. Tababa https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections This encourages you to reflect on your experience every week. en-us 2021-07-14 15:52:52 UTC 2026-02-02 06:39:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f431.png READ ME! jctababa https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1649635119 2021-07-14 16:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1649635119 READ ME! jctababa https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1649635395 2021-07-14 16:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1649635395 READ ME! jctababa https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1649635682 2021-07-14 16:01:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1649635682 READ ME! jctababa https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1649636201 2021-07-14 16:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1649636201 Module tababajcc https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660692141 I tried to make a module template for our lecture topics in values formation. It was challenging, but I considered this as an opportunity to develop our skills in writing a module. We planned to make an easy and informative module relevant and appropriate to the PDLs' capability and knowledge. We also thought that this module serves as a supplement for the lecture conducted every week. 

This task made me think innovatively and use the resources I had in professional education and PCK courses. ]]> 2021-07-26 03:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660692141 Adversities - Advantages rlarroyo https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660697195 The overall demand of the program was indeed a challenge for me. Since we are dealing with PDLs, our lectures and values formation material must be coherent to their situation. Because for me, I have to be vulnerable and less technical in imposing a certain value to their systems. Although the group agreed about a certain topic, I decided to take another route in narrating a certain value that has been affecting me recently. I want them to know how significant that value it is to me and to my family. I also want them to know that my intentions are candid. 

On the scheduled day of my session, the jail that I’m assigned to experienced a shortage in electricity. Due to that I wasn’t able to share my lecture directly to my intent audience, which are the PDLs. Fortunately, we are accompanied by the jail officers and some medical frontliners in the session who willingly participated throughout the entire session. 

Since that was my first time handling the whole entire session, I wasn’t able to do it flawlessly. But the important thing is, I and the participants, enjoyed it a lot. And for me, that’s what matters the most.

Upon engaging with the values formation, I was able to manifest it that allowed my participants to also show vulnerability in engaging and sharing their own stories. I was also able to formulate my own flow of discussion and participate in a group discussion with my SSP teammates in formulating the scope and sequence of the values formation. For me, the mentioned skills that I have and earned are indeed beneficial for my growth especially within the academic field. As a future educator, I must not only strive for technicality and objectivity. I must also consider the spectrum of life and the art of authenticity in vulnerability.

]]> 2021-07-26 03:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660698174 Not my Limitation rlarroyo https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660698581 During my first values formation, I asked my participants how often they check or catch up with their families and vice versa. One of them, a medical frontliner, told me that it’s obviously a part of her job. She always allots a time to check on the PDLs and the officers. But when I asked her if she also have the same commitment in keeping up with her family, I saw the blankness in her expressions stating no. Then I come to realize that we’re all engulfed with different prisons in life. On her case, she is prisoned to her job and none of it is wrong. But we have to realize that time is our greatest enemy. Although we are limited, there are overflowing possibilities we could make in our time. Now, my challenge to myself is how would I like my story to be narrated?

]]> 2021-07-26 03:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660698581 Lecture Preparation tababajcc https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660699935 It was challenging to finish the content for the lecture and PowerPoint presentation in a short period. Thus, flexibility and adaptability were the skills that I think need to be improved in this situation. I need to provide a vision for the possible tasks ahead of time. In this way, I can prepare well and adapt without hassle to the problems that may arise.]]> 2021-07-26 03:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660699935 Organization and Management Skills tababajcc https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660707291 My first week of SSP experience further developed my organization and management skills. It was tough to supervise, lead, and monitor the tasks of the team. It was also challenging to communicate with the organizers every week about the task given for livelihood and values formation if you have internet connectivity problems. Despite this adversity, I took this as an opportunity to strengthen the abovementioned skills once I enter the teaching field.]]> 2021-07-26 04:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660707291 Lecture Activity tababajcc https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660714818 I was touched when some of the PDLs share their experiences about honesty and integrity. You could observe the repentance being manifested to the words and facial expression of the PDLs. The image below was one of the example. ]]> 2021-07-26 04:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660714818 Unraveled rlarroyo https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1660752276 Aside from this work is mandated and specifically designed for the program, integrating my own personal life with my PowerPoint presentation is indeed a lot to process. I’m not really that transparent in teaching values and concepts. I’d always like to keep away my personal life from my academic endeavor for I believe that, that’s the prime definition of professionalism. But this opportunity allowed me to humanize myself. It allowed me to center myself in a system where my life is an instrument for people. This activity was indeed an invitation for me to be naked in front of those who have been deprived of clothes.

This was also challenging because the first week of SSP coincided with our exam week. It's kind of difficult for me to balance SSP, exams, and other commitments. I was actually unable to attend the initial meeting with RJ Caritas because it happened to coincide with my major exam. But I appreciate RJ Caritas for understanding our situation.

To deal with this sort of situation, I believe that proper and effective time management will enable me to balance my time between all of my tasks while preventing exhaustion. It is nevertheless important that we perform our tasks in a healthy manner in order to achieve a successful outcome.]]> 2021-07-27 05:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1661799574 Adaptability Skill clcruz23 https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1661801059 My adaptability was put into practice during the first week of SSP. There have been several changes to the tasks assigned to the livelihood team, and given that it was also finals week, I was fortunate in being able to keep up with the changes. Although starting again from scratch is challenging for me, it allows me to be more adaptable and ready for new changes. Having this skill allows me to be willing to learn, taking on new challenges, and making adjustments to accommodate our team's transitions. This will empower me to better support my team and handle the impact of new challenges in the future, when I enter the corporate world. I also believe that adaptability is highly valued in practically all organizations, given the uncertain aspect of every industry and business.]]> 2021-07-27 05:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1661801059 Product Labeling clcruz23 https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1661802241 As part of the livelihood team, I chose to discuss how to properly label products. One of their struggles in the livelihood program, according to RJ Caritas, is product labeling. Because the products are not properly labeled, they sometimes get confused as to how much, how many, or from which jail these items belong.

During my preparation for this particular task, I discovered that labeling the products is important for more organized, clear, and efficient operations. Apart from that, as a whole, clear communication and coordination are essential attributes for this project to succeed.]]> 2021-07-27 05:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1661802241 Presentation https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662057560 During the first week, I was able to do a powerpoin presentation of our first topic which is Honesty and Integrity. I was able to craft questions where the PDLs can ponder on. Im have yet to test it since my schedul lecture for the first week was canceled.

But I hope I will be able to share this coming second week of lectures.

Caritas - RJ was having a hard time classifying and identifying the products that were brought to them. It is because the products comes in different features, colors, and prices. The personnel in RJ and sales staff struggle in identifying each of them. The proper coding of the products will help them in identifying the products and the quantity as well. This will ease the monitoring of the inventory of the products.]]> 2021-07-27 12:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662074829 eymesina https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662075912 The 1st week of SSP fall on the last week of our online classes. There are also backlogs that we are dealing on that week. But we are bless enough that RJ is understanding of our prior commitments in school. ]]> 2021-07-27 12:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662075912 eymesina https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662076475 I learned how to strategize on the things that we are task to do especially that the setup is only virtual and we cannot see things in personal. ]]> 2021-07-27 12:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662076475 T https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662186319 2021-07-27 14:32:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662186319 The Products nldomasin https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662189578 I am part of the Livelihood Program of the Caritas RJ Manila and I am tasked to make a proposed products that the PDLs may produce or make that can be easily sold. 

We noticed how most jails have same products that leads to over production and most items only differ in color and size that makes it more difficult to sell. So we decided to give them more variety of products that can be sold and mostly used by consumers. ]]> 2021-07-27 14:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662189578 No Output nldomasin https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662195696 The first week of Livelihood Team is not productive as the Values Team because it is also our last week for our final semester in PUP. We were juggling exams, final requirements and SSP during that week that we were not able to make our outputs. But as soon as we finished our semester, our team meet each other and distribute tasks. During our first week also, the tasked given to us was not clear that we didn't know exactly what to do. But as we meet again with RJ, we clear things out and identify their problem. So for this week, we now have concrete plans and tasks to accomplish.]]> 2021-07-27 14:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662195696 Time Management & Communication nldomasin https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662201165 The first week of SSP tested my time management skills. Since we still have exams and final requirements at school, I need to organize everything and allot a time for each. Our team is falling behind and we have a lot of things to do. 

Communication also became helpful for our team to assign tasks and be mindful of the things that we should do. We need to value this throughout the program to have a smooth arrangement with RJ. ]]> 2021-07-27 14:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662201165 None nldomasin https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662207138 The Livelihood Team didn't meet the PDLs for the first week and we don't really have much interaction with the RJ unlike the Values Team. The only specific incident or experience that we have was the meeting with Sir Anthony. During that meeting, we were able to make things clear and point out the problem that needs to be solve. We were also able to see some of the works of PDLs that are being sold in the market. And it was good to see their works, it was nice and beautiful. We also joked of commenting "mine", "how much" and "free shipping" while sir Anthony shows the item. I think this helps us to know more about our PDLs.]]> 2021-07-27 14:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662207138 Lay-out and banner design https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662271614 One of my responsibilities is to accomplish the team's google site portfolio. I manage to start organizing the site for our content and then I designed some banners to make it appealing. 
Although its out of my league, I enjoy doing it because I express my creativity. ]]> 2021-07-27 16:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662271614 More than just a project https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662275187 I am part of RJ CARITAS Livelihood program for this year's SSP of PNS.

The RJ Caritas asked us for inventory help, especially organizing it on a spreadsheet, but we discovered more issues or concern regarding the program. Thus, our team decided to carefully address each one and dedicate most of our time brainstorming ideas not just for the benefit of accomplishing tasks but the efficiency and effectivity of our contribution in the long run.

It move me for a little because I also believe that there is always a reason to every action.

It is true that, the livelihood team does not have any final output yet but our team is working already since the kickoff. Financial and sales issues are not easy as they seem also for me it is a sensitive topic so, we carefully comprehend the situation and planned things and distributed tasks. We are expecting final output this week!

I want to relate this to the work of an auditor. Even though there are more from it, it allow me to realize the essence of my course.]]> 2021-07-27 16:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662281288 Jotter! https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662284439 As I continue my Summer Service Program, I realized that I am that girl that comes with a pen and paper moreover, I pay attention to small details and quickly responds to what is urgent for our team for planning purposes.

My two duties assigned this week is to propose solutions for their inventory management and to create the google site portfolio.

On the first task, I find the information given to us lacking. But to compensate it, we have to be resourceful and inquire further.

On the other hand, I could ask help to people with some sort of experience to make the portfolio work. And of course, through team collaboration.]]> 2021-07-27 16:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1662292469 Module Making rlarroyo https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1666330996 For this week, the values formation team decided to distribute the work in making the modules. This initiative was in accordance to the proposed scope and sequence of the whole values formation sessions. The topic assigned to me was about respect and love for family. Although this concept might be easy in terms of the definition itself, capitalizing the significance of it through words and activities was indeed a challenge. Fortunately, my teammates, specifically Kuya Cj, helped me polish my work. 
 
]]> 2021-08-02 04:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1666330996 Gender 'Biased' rlarroyo https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1666332003 Recently, I noticed that I have an unconscious bias in gender, specifically on straight guys. This notion also affected my decision in choosing my schedule for the SSP program, because I preferred the female PDLs over the male ones. Part of me justifies that choosing the mentioned schedule and specified participants was the best route to take, considering also the goal of the program; Part of me argues that men are just overrated. But I decided that this notion has to be eradicated from my system, so I decided to switch my schedule and capacitate our male PDLs. Upon doing so, I’ve discovered so much in me. Because if I do support SOGIE Bill and my community, it is indeed ironic for me not to overcome this bias of mine. Surprisingly, the male PDLs are more transparent in sharing their personal experiences. They’re also participative and I can see the eagerness in them to surge against their current situation.

But this module was indeed a challenge, for we have to be mindful and creative in discussing sensitive topics to the PDLs. 
In terms of the values formation itself, since we have to come up with content, presentation, and modules for the entire program, having a sense of discipline and effective management is fundamental to also allow good outcomes to take place.
]]> 2021-08-02 04:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1666332512 Time gap rlarroyo https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1666332885 The session I have with the Manila City Jail – male dorm is something that I will never forget. Hearing most of their stories, revolving around how much they repent losing time for their families was indeed heartbreaking. I remember one of the PDLs, named Armando, shared that he has no contact with his family for five years up until now. And I know that this situation is not only unique to him, because I do know that our system is flawed. Being part of this program now makes everything clearer, my role and my stand in terms of our social and political aspects. I’m indeed grateful for this program but I’m certain that we can do more, we can do better.

The Our Partners and Roles section of our Google site was assigned to me, Jewel, and Jeff. In this section, our partner, Caritas Restorative Justice, is introduced, along with their mission, vision, and programs. It is also included in this section our roles (Livelihood and VF), individual tasks, and schedule.

For the livelihood team, we produced an output, finalized the presentation and we also did a dry run.  

For me, the only challenge is the thought of actually delivering my topic to an audience. Public speaking has always been my worst struggle, even before SSP. I'm constantly nervous in front of everyone, and I'm not used to it, so I sometimes forget what I'm talking.

To address my problem, our leader approached me and gave me some advice on how to avoid becoming apprehensive when presenting information. I find it useful as well, and I plan to improve my speaking skills in the process.]]> 2021-08-02 14:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1666777858 Livelihood Team Output eymesina https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1666780397 For this week, we finally have our output for livelihood team. I was tasked to do the product coding. We had our dry run last week and we are waiting for the presentation on wednesday.

We struggled on translating English terms to Filipino especially the business terms that we used. I also thought of how will I present a topic in a way that people not knowledgeable in business will also understand. ]]> 2021-08-02 14:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1666791661 Respect & Love for One's Family tababajcc https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1666804137 I was excited to discuss this lecture with our beloved PDLs since this talks about family. Although our PDLs are far away from their true family, I see to it that they find their new home to their fellow PDLs which they considered as the family who will care and help them to make themselves better. This presentation made me reflect more on the important values that I keep for my family. I was hoping that I can share some stories that may lift up the spirits of our PDLs despite uncertainties inside the jail.]]> 2021-08-02 14:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1666804137 Teamwork clcruz23 https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1666813107 I realized the value of teamwork. Despite the fact that we are in a break from school, some of us are still busy with work, summer classes, and other responsibilities. Our work becomes lighter and more efficient when we work as a team. We never leave a single one of our members behind.

As a result, I was confused about which messages are from my e-mail, PNU e-mail, PHINMA e-mail, and Organization e-mail. My friend's contact numbers also have no name that adds up to my confusion. I found this a challenge since I need to comply and reply immediately to the queries sent by RJ Caritas and also to my PNU and organization e-mails.

It inspired me to do my best as their leader and allowed me to hone my skills in managing a large team composed of different and exceptional individuals.

I end up messaging some of them privately because they were not able to send me a picture. I understand that some of us have their own personal matters and works but it's for our portfolio so everyone must comply. Luckily, we were able to find a good one and I have it edited and finished posting it. My report was also a compilation of pictures for the suggested products. And it's challenging to find different products that can be a shown. ]]> 2021-08-04 12:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1668846944 Creativity nldomasin https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1668858534 During this week, my creativity was tested. Since I volunteer in making my team's presentation and Meet The Team part in our portfolio, Canva and MS Powerpoint were my companion. I need to be creative in choosing designs and templates. It's hard because I'm not that really good in editing but I really enjoy this kind of work. As I said to my team, this is a tiring work that I wouldn't regret doing. I've learned and continuously learning in this field while working with our outputs. My works are not perfect but I love it (I just hope my teammates and PFI will also love it).]]> 2021-08-04 12:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1668858534 Dry Run nldomasin https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1668871450 The experience that I could share for this week was our dry run in Livelihood Team for our presentation to RJ Caritas.

Creating the content of my presentation was indeed a challenge since I have to be sensitive about my topic which is freedom. But as soon as I incorporated my heart in it by sharing some of the social issues that I’m really passionate about, I began to find my track and kept going.]]> 2021-08-08 07:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1671948404 Momentum rlarroyo https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1671948499 For this week, I think I executed my goal effectively according to plan. Not that I’m too confident about it but, receiving the responses of the PDLs and how engaged they are during the sessions gave me a strong validation. A validation that tells me that I indeed imparted the message they all deserved to know. ]]> 2021-08-08 07:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1671948499 Captivating Strategy rlarroyo https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1671948591 Before my first session started this week, Sir. Anthony informed me that the PDLs that I’m going to handle are not that participative especially those who are at the back. This information challenged my system a little bit, but since I’m not new to this kind of atmosphere, I know how to somehow handle it. But in my surprise, during my session the female PDLs at the back were actively participating. And when we’re on the sharing part of the session, they are also the ones who recited. ]]> 2021-08-08 07:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1671948591 To be Worthy rlarroyo https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1671948714 In my session with the Mandaluyong City Jail female dorm, there was a mother who struck my heart with her heartfelt confession.

When I became a teacher in the future, the classrooms that I'll be attending are not always the ideal one where students are participative and will easily grasp the lesson.

I was captivated by one of the PDLs story about his experience of stealing for his family to survive the pandemic. According to him, they are happy living together until the pandemic came. By then, he lose his job which pushed him do such act (even if it violates the law) for him to feed the family. This is where I realized the effect of the current pandemic.

They both stated that they will be able to provide a house for their families, which is also one of my life goals. I was motivated to work hard toward that objective because if they could do it, then I can.

I checked and evaluated the DRAFT modules of my co-scholar-educators to ensure that the activities made for PDLs are aligned with the objectives of the formation of our values. It was challenging yet I considered this as a good opportunity to improve our skills in module writing. I was happy that my co-scholars educator made a good module for our beloved PDLs.

As I focused on the song "REMEMBER ME" sang by Miguel to Mama Coco, I emphasized that the PDLs family will not forget them. They still remember them despite what they have done in life. The sins they have committed do not define who they are today. Just continue to change for the better because their families are waiting for them to see the new and better version of themselves. ]]> 2021-08-10 04:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1673680687 Relieved clcruz23 https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1673680753 I was anxious about presenting my topic to Sir Anthony and my team.

To be honest, I had some adjustment creating this presentation because I am used to create lectures for my co- biology student. The presentation I am usually creating is content-based and focuses more on facts, processes and mechanisms. Creating my first presentation about values formation wasn't that easy because aside from the fact that this is a different topic, I also have a different audience to consider --PDLs. 

Nevertheless, It was a successful lecture and I feel like the presentation I have created is effective to my audience. ]]> 2021-08-10 04:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1673686710 SSP and Summer Class https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1673691111 The start of SSP was the final week for the submission of all my school requirements.

They can respond by showing thumbs up if they are saying that they are okay and thumbs down if its the other way around.

I expect myself to accomplish all of my responsibilities by my own. Even if I have problem, I always resolve it before I seek help to other people. Nevertheless, this is the manner I able to learn. 
This is the biggest factor behind why I prefer to work independently. But I realized that collaboration with great people allow me surpass what I'm lacking and let me embrace new ideas. I sure should let my guard down and hear what other people say, so I can learn. Likewise, it is analogous to "you can't write if you don't read.'.

This remain true as I work with the team. One of my learnings solidify the importance of raising one's voice. The instruction and information given to us for our assigned task is vague for me. I understand the goal of our task but the details is a little lacking. 
But speaking up to Mr. Anthony and have a small discussion gives me a clear direction to my task. I can relate this to the clamor of the public during this hard time, they should be heard and their criticism against the government might as well find helpful.

We made a team effort to provide a memorable lecture with the Manila City Jail Male Dorm. I distributed my lecture to my fellow livelihood peeps to make them experience how it is like to discuss values and converse with our PDLs message and shared experiences. I was glad that they facilitate the activities well and talked with the PDLs. We heard different stories of love, respect, and thankfulness in this lecture. I was hoping that values formation helped them to become the better version of themselves. Further, I appreciated the efforts of the livelihood team to have team teaching for this final lecture. Despite personal hindrances to speak with the public, they surpassed it through teamwork and support with each other.]]> 2021-08-13 03:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677698162 Leadership Skill jctababa https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677753908 I like to thank my teammates for this successful SSP experience. I thought I wasn't able to lead them since some were not familiar with me. I didn't know how to approach this. However, luckily, I adjusted and was able to catch up with you and made me appreciate my leadership skill after your good messages and encouragement. I learned a lot from my teammates, organizers, lecture experiences, PDLs stories, and module writing.

It opened me to the idea that education is not only for children. It is also for our beloved PDLs and persons deprived of education. This is the true essence of being a teacher. Education knows no race, gender, age, skin, and social status.

On our meeting we reflect on the experiences we had for the entire week and evaluated our performance for the entire SSP. The team members commented on each other's performance. I am grateful that most of the comments I heard from my team mates are appreciation. Hearing this is indeed motivating. I am really thankful for this opportunity to work with these people. It was really a memorable experience. ]]> 2021-08-13 04:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677782525 Teachers are also learners. jgfostanes https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677786643 From the experiences I had from this SSP, I proved that a teacher's responsibility is not just to teach but to learn from his/her learners as well.

I also had a hardtime thinking of activities that will fit the topic because in natural sciences, we usually do laboratories. Thanks to the available reference online that helped me in coming up with this module. I also want to thank the values formation team for guiding me in the process. ]]> 2021-08-13 05:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677789849 Meet the PDLs clcruz23 https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677812171 CJ, Sir Anthony, and the livelihood team decided that members of the livelihood team who wished to meet the PDLs could attend the VF team's discussion. As part of its lecture in the Manila City Jail, CJ handed us our assignment. I was responsible with facilitating the first activity called "Copy! Copy!" I enjoyed facilitating the PDLs because we've seen how competitive and engaged some of them were.]]> 2021-08-13 05:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677812171 Delayed clcruz23 https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677812939 The internet connection at the Manila City Jail was weaker than expected, so we had to wait about an hour before we could begin the lecture. This hour of waiting makes me want to back out because I was apprehensive and already overthinking everything. "What if they don't want to take part? What if they don't pay attention? What if they don't grasp what I'm saying? What if I could have an internet issue as well?" But Sir Anthony helped us relax by simply conversing with us and telling jokes while we waited. CJ also assured us that he would be present, so there was no need to be worried. As a result, the lecture and exercises were completed satisfactorily.]]> 2021-08-13 05:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677812939 Become the better version of ourselves clcruz23 https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677815335 I learned a lot through interacting and listening with the PDLs. First, despite being detained, they know how to be grateful. I was astonished by how grateful they were for simple things, and it made me think that if these people are grateful even when they are deprived of their liberty, who am I to complain? Second, they always care. We know they did something bad at some point in their lives, and we should also be aware that there was a reason for their actions. Even if they appear to be a "bad person," they still care for their family, friends, and officials inside the jail, as well as other PDLs. Just because they did something wrong in the past doesn't mean they will always be the bad guys. Inside the jail, they're also trying to change, to become a better person. As Ben&Ben said, "Pahilumin ang mga sugat. Di ikaw ang 'yong nakaraan."]]> 2021-08-13 05:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677815335 Moved clcruz23 https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677816795 This will remain a memorable experience for me. Observing, conversing with, laughing with, and listening to PDLs. Meeting them gives me a better understanding of their situation. They are remorseful for their actions. It may take some time for them to be reunited with their families, but they have hope that they will see them again one day, not in the jail, but in their home. I was also particularly moved when almost everyone who took part in the activities thanked us and the Caritas RJ for supporting them and carrying on the program. That moment, I knew our team made an impact]]> 2021-08-13 05:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1677816795 Prints and Marks rlarroyo https://padlet.com/jctababa/SSP_RJ_Reflections/wish/1678090193 My last session was with the Mandaluyong City Jail – female dorm. With this in mind, I knew that I have to deliver something close to their hearts – their families. Their current struggle in coping up with how their life turn out to be, needed a concrete support system. Talking about other people’s family is indeed a sensitive and a tricky topic to talk about. This fact gave me a hard time formulating the content of my PowerPoint and the context of my examples and approach as well. It’s also given that all families are unique, but I know that there’s one thing that every family share – to give love and to be loved. And from there, I started now to create the outline of my presentation and delivered a vulnerable session as much as I could.

I only realized it at the latter part of the session, because I am so hooked with how engage the PDLs were in sharing their personal lives with me. But although the session wasn’t recorded, their stories are embedded in me.

Life is temporary indeed, but our stories are not. Everything we do matter, so while we have the liberty to choose how to live, let’s take advantage of it into making the world less cruel.

Well, I do know for a fact that crying is not a validation of my work or my impact to them. For I know that it’s a sign of different aspects; a sign of acceptance; a sign of understanding; a sign of hope and faith to Him. They are failed by our system.  A victim of a double standard society. Deprived of opportunities. These factors are really hard to digest when you have a positive outlook in life. They all need to be heard not to be saved.

This is the first time that our team were able to meet the PDLs since our work revolves around the inventory and product management in the RJ. In the presentation, CJ assigned me and Adrian to facilitate the last activity "Domi-domino".

So what we did for RJ Caritas is most likely a collaboration. This Project is simply a livelihood project of improvement, from process to budgeting up to promotion of sales. This is actually a good restart for both Caritas and the PDL's, (People deprived from liberty).

Somehow, this is the only way to achieve justice. 
But this made me realized, they are not less of a person. I committed poor decisions too so who am I to judge? Perhaps, not all of them committed sin for a senseless reason. Our society has defects.
