“Is Claret School of Maluso Ready for Senior High?”

By: Marcelle Jean A. Lagutin

When President Noynoy Aquino announced the K to 12

implementation for Senior High Schoolers on 2012, it was a big bang
for all the Grade 10 students of batch 2015-2016 which was the
pioneering group for the said project. It became an uproar on the
Department of Education due to the effect of the announcement. The
High Schools in the Philippines, public or private, were given enough
time for preparatory measures. So, is Claret School of Maluso ready for
Senior High?
The Claret School of Maluso (CSM), located at Townsite,
Maluso, Basilan Province, is a Catholic school owned by the Prelature
of Isabela. CSM has been preparing for June 2016 which is the official
opening of the Senior High School, namely Grade 11 and Grade 12. Sr.
Ma. Felipa Fe C. Javen, D.C., the School Directress/Principal, together
with the Faculty Staff and other members of the Administration did
everything she could in her capacity to make the school project a
success. That includes the right teachers appropriate for Grade 11 and
Grade 12. When DepEd Cotabato personnel and TESDA Cotabato
officials came to assess CSM’s readiness they both declared that “CSM
is the most K-to-12 ready school in the entire ARMM. The school’s
administration also decided to add another building facility. This two-
storey building has been under construction since November 2014. It is
to be finished before summer vacation to make use of it for the next
school year. Many spectators already visited this school and said that the
school is ready. The enrolment for Senior High already started last
October 19, 2015. Many students from the neighboring schools came to
list their names already.
Claret School of Maluso invites you to enroll here. Be it academic
course or vocational course, you are very much welcome here!

COME AND ENROL NOW!

An open letter… “…the Daughters of Charity in Maluso say, “Now master, you could dismiss
your servant in peace” and with St. Paul we say, “I have run the race to the end.”

…”Claret School of Maluso is a Catholic School owned by the Prelature of Isabela and administered by the
Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac. The School was a brainchild of Father
Fernandez, CMF, that was actualized by Father Mariano Gonzales, CMF, Parish Priest of Maluso, Isabela in
1965.
In May 1979, Msgr. Jose M. Querexeta, CMF, Bishop of Isabela, requested the Daughters of Charity to
establish themselves in Maluso. On May 7, 1980 the
Community of the Daughters of Charity was founded in Maluso and from then
on administered Claret School of Maluso.”

MOST REV. MARTIN S. JUMOAD, D.D.

Bishop of Prelature of Isabela de Basilan
Basilan City

Dear Most Rev. Bishop Martin,

Happy Feast of St. Vincent de Paul, Patron Saint of the Poor and founder of the Company of the
Daughters of Charity! We prayed for you as well as for your constituents during our Mass for our
dear founder, St. Vincent. We always remember Maluso with fondness and gratitude for the
thirty-five long years of temporary insertion, presence, and service to the poorest and most
vulnerable of Basilan.

It is with humble gratitude to you and the members of the Board of Trustees as we are updated
on the development of Claret School of Maluso.

The Prelature of Isabela through the Bishop, then Bishop Querexeta, CMF, requested the
Daughters of Charity for ten (10) years as indicated in the MOA (Memorandum of Agreement),
which has been stretched to thirty five (35) years, to put into shape Claret School of Maluso

grantees. CSM is proclaimed to be the only prepared and ready
school for Senior High School in the entire ARMM.

At the eve of the Golden Jubilee of Claret School of Maluso, together with Ana, the prophetess,
and Simeon, the prophet, the Daughters of Charity say, “Now master, you could dismiss your
servant in peace” and with St. Paul we say, “I have run the race to the end.”

At the end of thirty five years, we look forward to the turnover of the School back to the Prelature
in good shape.

With the current condition of Claret School of Maluso, may we recommend the qualified Claretian
Fathers and Brothers to take back and bring into a better shape the little that we have shared in
the mission of your prelature for the following reasons:
1. CSM is the brainchild of the Claretians; they are most knowledgeable as to its direction and
role in the transformation of Maluso.
2. They are currently missioned in Maluso; CSM mission will complement their other existing
missions.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to be of service to the people of Maluso.

Very sincerely yours,

Daughters of Charity

“Using CCTV Inside the School”
By: Eisha Jade Jaji

Technology makes things easy and with less effort. Technology is used by most people to create
something new and to increase their control and understanding. Claret School of Maluso is one of the users of
technology.
This school year, a TESDA training on EPAS (Electronics Products and Assembly Services) was
conducted by persons no other than TESDA Cotabato Assessors and Trainors. As an output of the training, a
CCTV was needed to be installed
This device can be a big help to record unusual activities such as theft, murder or monitor events that
nobody else witnessed such as students loitering around school premises during class hours, students cutting
classes and skipping school.
In this way, the CCTV can help the students discipline themselves and become more responsible. Not
only that, it can lessen the hard work that the teachers and other faculty staffs are responsible of.
Don’t wait for the CCTV device to change you as a person but be responsible enough on your own
because it is the best thing we have until we grow older.

“An Open Hand with an Open Heart”

By: Roel B. Visande
The organization of Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SSVP) of Claret School of Maluso (CSM)
conducted an overwhelming community service for the needy people in the community of Maluso
last September 30, 2015.
The club officers and members headed by Mrs. Antonette Helen supervised the mission of the
club’s patron saints, St. Vincent de Paul and St. Frederick Ozanam, who are known to be very active
in helping the less fortunate members of society.
The SSVP gave some three (3) kilos of rice and noodles to each selected family. The club also
conducted feeding program to different areas in Maluso.
This simple act yet meaningful one created some happy memories to the family and a big help
to the less fortunate members of society.
Everyone can be a big help to anyone and has a chance to be free, to be happy and to be good.
So have courage to extend an open hand with an open heart.
“MAKATARUNGAN bang Ipagbawal ang pagdadala ng cellphone sa Claret?”
By:Louie Anthony B. Palma
Makatarungan bang ipagbawal ang pagdadala ng cellphone sa CSM? “Hindi!” hinaing ng ilang
mga estudyante. Bakit ipinagbabawal ang pagdadala ng cellphone, sa paaralan kung tutuusin ay
malaki naman ang naiitutulong nito? Gamit ang cellphone, mas mapapagaan na ang mga gawain ng
mga estudyante sapagkat hindi na kailangan pang halughugin ng mga estudyante ang buong Library
upang makapag-research, isang pindot mo lang ay naka-access ka na sa internet gamit ang mga high-
tech na applications na naka-install sa mga cellphones. Mas nabibigyan pa ng oportunidad ang bawat
estudyanteng matuto at makasabay sa makabagong sistema ng pag-aaral.
Siguro nga’t malaki ang naitutulong ng cellphone sa pag-aaral ngunit maaari rin itong maging
isang malaking balakid sa pag aaral ng isang estudyante.
Kung ating uusisaing mabuti, sa pagdadala ng mga estudyante ng cellphone sa paaralan
maaaring ma-distract sila sa kanilang pag aaral. Mas nabibigyan lang nito ng pagkakataon ang mga
etudyanteng makagawa ng mga di kanais-nais na bagay katulad ng pambu-bully at mas binibigyan
lang nito ng motibo ang mga estudyante na iasa na lamang sa cellphone at internet ang bagay-bagay
na may kinalaman sa paararalan. Sa halip na gamitin ang library at tumuklas at matuto gamit ang
sariling pag-iisip at mas lalong ituon ang atensyon sa mga diskusyon sa loob ng klase ay nakatutok na
lamang sa mga cellphones at nagpe-facebook, nagtu-tweeter, nag ii-instagram, naglalaro ng mga
games sa cellphone o di kaya’y nag si-search ng mga malalaswang bagay.
Hindi naman sa ninanakaw ng paaralan ang kaligayahan mo bilang isang estudyante ngunit
kailangan ring panatilihin ang responsiblidad ng bawat mag-aaral upang makasigurado sa mas
magandang kinabukasan na gamit ang sariling kakayahan.

Everybody has a treasure,
A treasure that you must know,
A treasure that will not come and go, A
treasure that will never lose its glow.
The smile on your face makes my heart fonder
You don’t need a map to find it
nor a compass to see it where
You just need to come closer
And let your heart feel it deeper.
There is no need to put it in a chest
In a basket nor in a nest
‘Cause this treasure is worth to keep,
A pure treasure of friendship.
Sah maytah in kaibanan bata di magkahagad
“Loving You Once”
-Marcelle Jean A. Lagutin-
I tried loving you,
But in the end you broke my heart into two
I tried wanting you,
But you don’t want me to
and walked away like you always do
I tried needing,
But my wish didn’t come true
Loving you once is enough, Sometimes there
are people who are always there for you
But I am not one of them
I got tired
So thank you for letting me love you
Even just for once.

“ MY BESTFRIEND”
-Shariefa Aine Jhan S. Jadji-
I have a friend, my friend is you Who
is so dear, loving and caring too.
When I’m alone and feeling blue
You cheer me up and ease me through…
We shared the laughter and tears together,
We depend on each other because we care
When I am in pain and in sorrow
You never left me, you never dare!
You have a shoulder to cry on
You’re a person to lean on
You’re my friend, my buddy, my best friend!
Thank you for the love.
“Maas Natuh Kalasahaan”
-Sasha Ladeena G. Salimbulong-
Ina, ama natuh tuyu na mag-usaha
Ha supaya kita niyu amun datungan,
Ha maas natuh nagpipikil katu n`yu sadja.
Hangkan sa mga kabataan

Ampah in luug sin maas natuh dih kaugun
Maas natu kalasahan dihilan kasanyangan!
Pag-iskul dain mahinang kabayaran
A hulas laul sin kamawmaasan.
Magsarang sukul kita niyu katan Ha
maas natu piyara sin Tuhan.

“Sixteen” “High School Life”
By: Marcelle Jean A. Lagutin
Now is the day to become sixteen
A day to begin sexy but not thin A place where we can move forward,
Though I’m afraid to face the day
But here I come, so make way. A life where we are most comfortable,
Being a child or an adult,
My little birthday is turning bright
That’s what makes High School life, land of youth.
16 candles in my sight
Reminiscing things that had happened in my life Holding onto each other,
I wish I may, I wish I might.
Making life much memorable with one another,
I remember those days when I was a kid When you have friends behind your back,
A kid who is wearing sandals which are not her type
But wearing cool slippers is what she likes.
You’ll never think that High School suck!
At my mid age I began to wonder
I’m a girl, I know! No need to bother Love and friendship, you find here.
I wore big pants, polo, to look older Hate and pain especially fear.
But I never wear things that boys wore under.
But know what happens when you surpass those tests?
Mama told me to stop acting boyish You’ll always think that life in High School
Because I’m a girl and that’s their wish
is the best!
I love my mom so I promise to act girly
Well, now is the time to become a lady
Becoming a lady is not that hard.
When Time Stops
When you become a teen
By: Marcelle Jean A. Lagutin
you’ll receive a love card
Oh! So nice to become a teen
Especially when you turn sixteen. Every time in our life
We somehow look around the isle
“MAHAL KONG KAIBIGAN” To make sure we spend it wise
-Louie Anthony B. Palma- Done it nicely in our eyes.
Simula ng tayo’y magkakilala
Mundo ko’y nagbago at nagkaiba Binigyan mo Sometimes in life, We
ng kulay ang maputla kong buhay At pinuno mo are mesmerized
ng saya ang bawat araw na tayo’y magkasama Hoping that someday
Sa mga oras na ako’y nagdadalamhati
Time should stop once or twice
Sa iyong mga ngiti ito’y napapawi
To capture and memorize it
Sa mga oras na ako’y walang makapitan with our own two eyes
Ikaw ang nagsilbi kong sandigan at takbuhan ‘Cause when time stops,
Ikaw lamang mahal kong kaibigan It will be very nice.
Ikaw na lang talaga at mahal kita.
