    DATE • 13 November 2015 ISSUE No. 191 Visit To Hakodate I went to visit the Hakodate Community on an important matter on the third week of October. I was able to interview the three Brothers currently assigned there: Br. Andre Labelle, Br. Fermin Martinez and Br. Victor Gutierrez. While there the school was busy orienting prospective new students and parents, I appreciate very much the warmth and hospitality of the Brothers of the community. On my last evening we had an excellent Walnut Pecan Pie whipped up by Br. Fermin. While in Hakodate, I took the opportunity to do a three-day quiet retreat in the Trappist Monastery in Hokuto, about 40 minutes from Hakodate. Thank you Brothers Andre, Fermin and Victor! ISSUE No. • 1! of 8! Silver Jubilee Celebration of Brothers Dante, Dodo, and Vince On 31 October 2015, I celebrated my Silver Jubilee together with my batchmates Dante and Vince. Rather than writing about it, I’d like to share with you the citations in the plaques prepared by Br. Vic Franco. This was a special moment in my life as a Brother and I am filled with gratitude for the prayers and support Brothers and partners have given me throughout the years. (Thanks to Br. Ruben Caluyong for the Photos) St. La Salle exhorted his Brothers: “You can perform miracles by touching the hearts of those entrusted to your care.” (Med 180.3). Friend to countless people, especially his former students, touching hearts is what Br. Dante has been doing for the past 25 years. Whether as stimulating teacher, innovative administrator, or advocate for empowering young leaders, Br.

  • Isang Alternatibong Pagsusukat Sa Gastos Ng Edukasyon1 Tereso S
    Mas Mahal sa UP Kaysa DLSU: Isang Alternatibong Pagsusukat sa Gastos ng Edukasyon 1 Tereso S. Tullao, Jr., PhD Panayam Profesoryal Br. Vincenzo Dela Croce FSC Professorial Chair in Business Economics 2015 Buod May saysay ang pagsusukat sa gastos ng edukasyon upang matantiya ang kinakailangang yaman ng mga pamilya at ng pamahalaan sa pagpopondo ng lalong mataas na edukasyon. Sinuri ang normatibong pagpopondo bilang pamantayan sa alokasyon ng pondo sa mga pampublikong pamantasan at kolehiyo. Nagbalik tanaw sa mga pag-aaral sa pagsusukat ng gastos sa edukasyon sa loob at labas ng bansa. Dahil sa hirap ng paglikom ng datos nagpanukala ng isang modelo ng pagsukat sa gastos ng edukasyon batay sa konsepto ng pangkaraniwang guro. Ayon sa mga tinantiyang sukat mula sa modelong binalangkas, ang gastos bawat yunit ay halos kapantay ng tuition na sinisingil ng mga pribadong pamantasan at kolehiyo. Samantala, sa mga pampublikong institusyon, ang binabayarang tuition ng mga estudyante ay maliit na proporsyon lamang ng gastos na pinopondohan ng pamahalaan. May pagkakataon na mas mahal ang pampublikong pamantasan kaysa pribadong institusyon. Dahil dito dapat pag-isipan ng pamahalaan ang mga alternatibo sa tuwirang pagpapatakbo ng mga pampublikong pamantasan at kolehiyo sa harap ng pagiging episyente ng mga pribadong pamantasan at kolehiyo. 1 Ang sanaysay na ito ay hango sa isang pag-aaral nina Tullao, Cabuay, Garcia, Ang, at Sayoc (2015). Costing and Financing Higher Education in the Philippines . Ang naturang pag-aaral ay inihanda ng De La Salle University-Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies para sa Philippine Business for Education (PBED). Nais kong magpasalamat sa lahat na miyembro ng aming koponang pananaliksik sa kanilang kontribusyon sa pagbuo ng aming pag-aaral.

    DATE 2021 April 19 • ISSUE No. 357 www.lasalle-lead.org #buhayBRO: A Life Worth Giving The Philippines is celebrating 500 years since Christianity was introduced. Since then, many people have given their lives for the propagation of the faith in our land. It is, but timely, to also give credit for the spread of the faith through the educational ministry of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Many Brothers have given their lives for this educational ministry, going to assignments, to new places, and letting the presence of God be felt through their actions. One such Brother is Br. Edgar S. Esparagoza FSC, who professed his perpetual vows as a De La Salle Brother on 04 April 2021 at 4:00 PM. Br. Edgar consistently described the life of the Brothers or #buhayBRO as a life worth living, but more than living it out, he has given it all to the ministries entrusted to him in his role as a teacher in De La Salle Lipa, the vocations promoter of the Brothers in the Philippines, and more recently, the formator at the House of Studies in De La Salle University. ISSUE No. 357 • 1 of 11 www.lasalle-lead.org The event was graced by the PARC General Councillor, Br. Ricardo Angel Laguda FSC, LEAD Visitor, Br. Armin Luistro FSC, and former LEAD Visitor, Br.

  • 3 July 2020 Once More, We, the Undersigned, Strongly Register Our
    3 July 2020 Once more, we, the undersigned, strongly register our opposition to the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 (House Bill No. 6875) recently approved by the House of Representatives on third and final reading and the earlier similar bill approved by the Senate (Senate Bill 1083) last February. We reiterate our call for the President to listen to the pleas of our people who are already burdened by the pandemic, and to veto this particular version of the bill, before it automatically lapses into law on July 9, 2020. Once more, we also express our commitment to work with government to craft a better version of the bill, and other legislation, that can uproot terrorism, while still addressing the people’s concerns about their basic rights. By so doing, we will not be divided in countering terrorism. As we have stated in our June statement, while we acknowledge the need to fight terrorism, we find the passage of the bill ill-timed. As our people continue to struggle in coping with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, our attention, efforts, and resources should focus on fighting the virus and in helping our people. Many have died and continue to suffer from the pandemic. Our health systems and personnel are stretched to their limits. Many have lost jobs and are hungry. At this time, our priorities should be shoring up our health system, providing support to our health workers, ensuring food for our communities, stimulating the economy and providing jobs for our people. To be sure, it is our lawmakers’ sworn duty as public servants that these very real and terrifying threats to our health and economy receive more of their dedication and attention than hastily passing a bill that could, with its haphazard construction, wrongly impair sacred constitutional rights.

    COMPANY PROFILE 2012 An Italian story 1947 – Selle SMP is founded - 1970 – Annual production of 1,000,000 seats - 1981 – Transfer to new headquarters in Casalserugo - 1990 – Annual production of 3,000,000 seats - 1995 – Internal testing laboratory is created, over 5,000,000 seats produced ... Post World War II, the golden years of the bicycle. An entire country moved around on two wheels, and two champions, Coppi and Bartali, challenged each other on the roads of the Giro and the Tour. These were the years before the economic boom; the motorization of Italy was still yet to come. A young craftsman, Martino Schiavon, produced bicycle seats in an attic in the historical center of Padua. This was the beginning of the story of Selle SMP, an Italian story based on age-old values such as tenaciousness, spirit of initiative, courage, and the desire to embark on a new enterprise, counting on the strength of one’s own ideas. Over the years the company grew and developed until becoming one of the main producers worldwide in terms of innovative capacity and number of products sold. Then, at the beginning of the 2000’s, the sector was hit by a serious crisis caused by formidable competition from Asian producers. The only company on the panorama of national producers, Selle SMP decided to face the global market diffi culties without taking the route of delocalization in countries with low labor costs. The Schiavon family, convinced that the local production network must not lose experience and know how gained over many years of impassioned work and sacrifi ces, has kept production and employment in the Veneto region, opting to compete in the fi eld of innovation and quality.
