DepEd Memorandum
No.98 Series of 2016, also known as
the Anti-Smoking Campaign is one of
the greatest ways on how to lessen
the increasing amount of high school
smokers all over the country.
Aside from gambling and
bullying, smoking is a relentless hap-
pening that most of our
faculties are trying to
solve thats why DepEd
released this said cam-
paign. In schools, stu-
dents who are not ac-
tively participating school
activities are those high-
schoolers who smokes
in or out of the school.
We all know
that education is one of
the keys to have a great
and powerful nation. But
how can we accomplish
it, if our fellow high-
schoolers are putting
their attention on smok-
ing instead of studying?
So, the DepEd Smoke-
free campaign was is-
sued to enjoin schools to
organize activities that

Lets Face the Future
Bringing cellphones cannot
be a legit rule in school, finding diffi-
culty for both students and teachers
for academic purposes. Cellphones
were used to access the internet,
play games, take photos, send mes-
sages, download music or videos,
and etc.
Since we are in millennial
age and technology plays a big role
in society, we cannot remove the
nature of people to get in. Students
for example, are now going with the
trend. They commonly have cell-
phones in their pocket. It has plenty
of positive aspects if students will use
it appropriately. For emergency pur-
poses, for example can be used to
call for help and receive immediate
response. It is also serves as the
stress reliever of students for nonstop
activities, requirements or projects.
Plug in the earphones and put it on,
feel the music and such a relaxing
time.
Everybody blame us that
we are the criminals, that we are the
cause of sufferings of every student in
the world and devouring our whole
personality. The world eye is on us.
They extremely hated us. The ques-
tion is do you asked me of what is the
reason? Maybe you could understand
if you are in my situation. The BUL-
LIES! We are the BULLIES!
The Vanguard
On the other
hand, schools manage-
ment cannot allow cell-
phones to be used in school. Cell-
phones can be the source of de-
struction during the class. If the stu-
dents forgot to silent or turn off their
cellphones, any notification from it
may produce sound and noise. The
students cannot also be focus on the
lessons because they are being too
attached on their phones. They are
being too addicted on using it. For
some circumstances, cellphones help
to reduce the time of the teachers to
write the lesson on the board. Instead
of printing it and reproduce it through
photocopy, they are just going to take
pictures on the lessons and spread it
to the class. They can just send the
documents through email or any
applications. Lessen the time con-
sume, save money and no need to
copy everything in their notebooks.
Management see this as act of lazi-
The Bullies
Government and other
institution who have power focus
only on victims. We need respect,
attention, focus and love. As a bully
it is not easy to hurt someone. We
do that because we need your atten-
tion. We need your focus, we need
your care, we need your love, as you
love the victims.
________________
ness. Students, instead of learning
through traditional way of teaching
are being obsessed in the ad-
vantages of technology. Not all of the
data and information on the net are
correct, so they are trying to promote
to use the books and other available
resources in the library and laborato-
ry.
Technology helps to lessen
the work of human. It helps to be-
come easier any piece of work. For
students it is much easier to learn
lesson with the help of their phones.
Yes, books and materials in the li-
brary and laboratory are very useful,
but in terms of time and money, it is
much efficient to use phone in
school. Students just only need to
advice when and where they can only
use their cellphones.
I admit that I am a bully
but the thing is Im still a person and
I get disappointed whenever you do
not understand my reason why Im
doing this. I am dis appointed with
our belief, that every bully are bad,
evil and nonsense .So please be
careful with your words.

left and leave the young man turned
down to pieces.
These daters at my caf
seems to be weird. I thought they
were aliens but, hell no! This young
lady was so gorgeous. Her beautiful
brown eyes, long bland hair, and her
sexy hot body got my eye. I didnt
know what this young man did to this
Maria Clara and had fallen in love
with him. May be he gave him a love
potion, or a binding love spell or may-
be she was coursed by an evil witch
which will be the mother of the boy. I
just want to grab both of their heads
and bang them against each other, so
that theyll see the difference be-
tween reality and fantasy.
The young lady
and her order and the young man
seems to be good on just water alone.
Are you alright babe? The young
lady said. Why wont you order so
we could enjoy this beautiful day.
No babe, Im alright. The boy said my Babe, and the Goodbye forever
with the smile. When youre good
Im good.
I like this sundae babe. Try
it babe. I was listening on their con-
15
versation, watching them enjoy the
day when her phone rang. This young
man draw a tiny box in his pocket.
May be a ring but theyre too young
he placed it on the table underneath
a tiny piece of paper. He was planning
to surprise the girl about his gift. She
seems to be happy, smiled as she end
the phone call. She was very glad. No
not because this was their anniver-
sary. Not because this boyfriend
treated her on their date ---as what
all boys do on a date. The girl picked
up her bag, put a tip on the table not
seeing the boys past anniversaries
before. He seems to be confused,
trying to say something to her about
her present. She just kissed him like
this was their last moment, and said
thank you for the sundae. I like it
very much. Goodbye babe. I love you.
Bye
And she left caf leaving
this young man toned apart, speech-
less and doomed .The girl no By was
dating another man--- a call center
agent, and maybe their off to Guam.
May bell Rang. She was standing in
front of me. Taking her order
Good day Maam. Can I
take your order? Yes, I would like
to have your bitter sweet coffee for
sundae
Any additional order,
maam?
NO

Some people live for
desires, people live to fulfil
emptiness, some people live
for the benefits and some
people live for happiness. Is
there someone living with
contentment? Is there some-
one living with complete ac-
ceptance? And is there some-
one who live against death?
Nothing and no one stays
forever but memories will
remain to those people who
linger to the world of suffer-
ing?
I ask myself once,
what will happen if I lose my
only happiness? Should I be a
pessimist or optimist? What if
my only happiness is my boy-
friend? Precisely, I cant live
without him. My world will fall
into the dark shadows. I cant
escape the prison alone. My

The Vanguard
life is dull and boring without
him. It will be miserable. My
great enemies are not the girls
who can possibly steal my
boyfriend, my great enemy is
death which can possibly steal
my happiness. It would be the
most painful wound and there
would be no cure to it, it is
deeper than deepest.
I admit I am an opti-
mist If I failed, I failed. Noth-
ing cant erase the fact that I
failed. No further explana-
tions. I admit I am an optimist
- If I lose my happiness, I lost
it. There is no one to be
blamed on. Am I pessimist
because I search for more and
for the best? I want to change
everything even I go against
the destiny itself. There would
be No suffering and death. I
just want him to stay forever,
but I know it wont hap-
pen.
People should
live with pain, sorrows,
aches and sufferings. It is
not easy for me to remove
his blanket that covers my
loneliness. I feel the goose
bumps. I can see him. I
stare at his eyes. I hold
him but suddenly, hes
already gone. Wind touch-
es my body, it holds me
tight and then my tears
fell continuously, rapidly,
endlessly.

Tagtuyot
Mary-Joy Ronquillo
Bakit ako matatakot dumating ang dapit-hapon,
Gayong bawat umagay sa takip-silip hahantong?
Bakit ako mangangambang dumating ang bukas,
Gayong bawat ngayon, kusang magwawakas?
Alam kong lilipas ang panahon
Kasabay ng pagkatuyot ng mga dahon
Maiiwang luhaan, nagdurusa at mag-isa
Mabubuhay na lamang ng wala ka.
Dama ko na ang lamig ng hangin
Sa pagsimoy nitoy dumampi ang lungkot
Tila pinupokpok na pako yaring aking damdamin
Sa kanyang paglubog ay siyang pagkirot.
Kahit na anong init ng halik ang isiil
kahit na magdamag na yakapin.
Tagtuyot ay di mapipigil.
Dahil alam ko kusa kang mawawala at lilisan sa
Dakilang Pag-Ibig
Myla Ilagan
Tunay ngang pag-ibig ay napakadakila
Isang biyaya, handog ni Bathala
Tila yata hindi maipakakaila
Kung bakit kaya pinagbuklod ng tadhana
Lubos ang ligayang iyong hatid
Walang katapusan parang agos ng tubig
Tila ang pusoy may pinipintig
Waring itoy bulong ng pag-ibig
Karamdaman ay hindi naging hadlang
Sa dalawang pusong nagmamahalan
Handa kang samahan, hindi ka iiwan
Hanggang sa dulo ng walang hanggan
Maraming taon man ang lumipas
Habang may panahon, hanggat tumatakbo ang
oras
Pag-ibig sayoy mananatiling wagas
Magpakailanman hinding hindi kukupas.

The Monster A kind of teacher who
always say badwords. They usually
attack stupid students, especially
those who are not listening carefully,
not wearing proper uniform and stu-
dents with improper haircut. His pow-
ers are inside his tummy, why? I dont
know why. They are unique because
his abs are on their neck.
Favorite lines : Namo ka, mamatay

this sounds very usual, boring but
difficult for the students. Usually this
kind of teacher sends the information
in GC (Group Chat) with his or her
students. They always pursue the
students to copy for tara points.
