Begun in 1974 as a non-profit educational foundation, the Southeast Asian Institute for the Deaf (SAID) is recognized as a forerunner in Total Communication. The dream and dedication of a group of parents, educators of the deaf from Gallaudet University, deaf individuals and friends that started the program, has expanded and today challenges the deaf community to an even more far-reaching dream.
SAID stands as an expression of the benevolence of MIRIAM COLLEGE to allocate space for a school that has struggled for 33 years to find a “place in the sun”. In June 2007, SAID was integrated into the Miriam College system. It now operates as one of the basic academic units of Miriam College. MC-SAID is considered the first school for the deaf in the Southeast Asia to adopt the Total Communication philosophy in educating deaf children. The ultimate goal of SAID (now known as MC-SAID) is the mainstreaming of its graduates into the regular college and eventually in the working community. The school aims to develop the maximum potential of the deaf child for a full and happy life. Miriam College has helped realize this objective by offering a Mainstreamed College Program for deaf high school graduates. The program was conceived as a stepping stone in concretizing the plans for providing higher educational opportunities for the deaf. The motivating philosophy underlying this program of integration is the simple premise that children who are deaf have the right to dignity, individuality, uniqueness and to an opportunity to become fully participating citizens within their cultures, to the degree permitted by their abilities and capacities.
70% of Filipino Adults Have Bodies That Are Aging Faster Than They Should
-WHAT!?
I could say from experience that this study is true since there are more stressful than years ago. living in a stressful world makes the sign of aging visible even at a younger age. And it affects all of us.
Last year, Youthopia Media Philippines, Inc. conducted the Body Age Test, in offices in Metro Manila. The Body Age Test is a special scientific evaluation to assess your Biological Age. Tabulated Body Age Test results of over 6,000 adults (30-50 years old) revealed that 7 out of 10 have bodies that are aging faster than they should.
The method used in measuring body age, otherwise known as biological age, is taken from scientifically validated technology in the U.S. This test calculates your body’s reaction to paced breathing and compares this with predicted values taken from a large normative database. This database has been collated from many countries created in collaboration with reputable academic organizations.
As body age is indicative of one’s health status, Mead Johnson, together with Mr. Gabby Concepcion, took the initiative to promote the fight against body aging. Gabby leads the drive by living a healthy lifestyle through exercising, visiting the doctor regularly, enjoying life, and having a proper diet. To help him keep his body age younger, Gabby now drinks Sustagen Premium with the Multi-Defense System everyday to supplement his diet.
Check out where and when you can take the Body Age Challenge.
Panagbenga would not be complete without the Float Parade that is compared to the Rose festival in Pasadena California. And just seeing the floats makes you feel that it is. With the cold weather and ample sunshine, its the perfect day to have a parade filled with music, dance and tons and tons of different flowers.
The floats represents a company that commissioned the construction and design of each float. And like the previous years ( though its my first time to see them live), there is the float by the city government of Baguio, and also known brands like Jollibee, Samsung, Coca Cola, Dunkin' dougnuts etc. There are also new floats this year like TV5 with their first float for the Panagbenga festival.
Also great sights to see are the celebrities that joined in the festivities like Enciong Dee (Convergys Baguio), Sam Milby (Samsung), AJ Perez (Coca Cola), Empoy (TV5) and many more. Aside from that many would also feast their eyes on the lovely majorettes and toll policewomen and even Guys in bahag dancing with spears and gongs.
Like I promised, aside from having a good time with my friends here at Baguio City, I also find myself blogging about the Panagbenga Festival. Its my first time to see the festival and very excited what will be the experience of joining the parade and festivities filled with colorful and fragrant flowers plus the cold temperature of Baguio.
Though it might have been years since I visited the city, I used to go here when my family lived in La Union. And development has come a long way for the City of Pines. Though there is always the problem of traffic, pollution, etc.
Hi! I'm here at Bagiuo city with my high school friends for our annual outing. And the juicy part is its Panagbenga Festival! So I'm very excited on the things that will happen tomorrow, we are resting after the long journey. It has been years since I was here. Also the house were staying has a beautiful view and cool amenities.Now I'm very excited with the things will do tomorrow!
