Engaged in a conversation with this young man, Rock Ed volunteer Reem Hameed realized that there really is wisdom in listening to a child. They say it as it is. While in town, Reem volunteered for Rock Ed’s continuing project with jails (Project Rehas) and got to know our creative writing class, otherwise known as “the gentlemen poets of Bilibid.” Hameed is a visiting intern at ECPAT Philippines. (End Child Prostitution Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes) Her mother’s roots are in Escalante, Negros so despite her growing up in the Middle East and now being a law student based in Toronto, she exerts a lot of effort to get to know our country and its issues.
We usually say to the younger ones, “watch and learn.” Now allow us to say the exact phrase to you regarding this raw video of Daniel’s take on our country’s problems.
Mabuhay ang PIlipinong nag tatanong.
Mabuhay ang Pilipinong nagbibigay ng derechong sagot.

We always know ahead of time when Independence Day is coming up. Vendors along the main thoroughfares will be hawking hand-held flags, some more aggressively than others. We are all for supporting small enterprise so that’s not the main point of this article. I think the more important point will be discovering the spirit and the will behind our flag-waving. June is always a busy month for Rock Ed Philippines, the campuses will be bustling with new waves of activity and student leadership. Rock Ed will always welcome being invited to visit and make its ‘campaign for nation-involvement’ felt in schools and universities. Our first stop will be on Wed, June 18, 2008 at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.
The young ones of Magallanes Village decided to end their summer with a shindig that makes more sense to them than their usual park festivities. Dubbed as “The Great Summer Bookdrive,” the teen-agers of the village will host an ambitious bookdrive, requesting for donations from their neighboring Makati villages first. Holding it on the last day of May, this gig will end the awarding ceremonies of the summer-long annual sport fest of Barangay Magallanes. Rock Ed volunteer musicians will be performing on that night, check out this line up: THE DAWN, RADIOACTIVE SAGO PROJECT, SANDWICH, CHILLITEES, ENEMIES OF SATURN, SOUTHERN GRASS, MAYONNAISE, URSA MINOR, KING ANTARES, UNNAMED, PITIK and more.
50 volunteers traveled all the way to Don Ignacio Ramirez Memorial Elementary School (DIRMES) in Jayubo, Lambunao, Iloilo. Situated at the mountainous part of Lambunao, DIRMES is 60 kilometers from the city.
Barely a month after launching Rock Ed Cagayan de Oro, JCI hoisted their first major event. Rock Ed-CDO is officially open for business. Volunteer now.
Last April 13-19, 2008, JCI Cagayan de Oro celebrated JCI Week, among the many projects and activities prepared for this annual festivities is BUHrock, Banig Ulan Habol drive concert in cooperation with Rock ED Cagayan de Oro and SM City Cagayan de Oro.
With everything you've got.
Embrace your guitar.
Hold it tight.
Hold a banner to your chest.
Hold it high and sure.
Stand in front.
And center.
Stand straight.
Chin up.
For 12 Sundays only. (Nov2007-Nov2008) Roughly every 3rd Sunday of the month, we gather by the bay to watch the glorious Philippine sunset together. We sit and chat and look at how many other people believe that change should happen. No poetry, no songs, no placards, none. Just silence. This Sunday will be a bit different. If you think you deserve the truth, then stand here. With us. On Feb 17, be your own cause. Come. Practice participation.
Here’s the deal:
1. Text 20 friends.
2. Ask them to set aside old/used books.
3. Collect the said books yourself or ask them to bring it to your place.
4. Bring books to Saguijo on Tuesday Jan 15. And give them to Peter the door boss.
