UIC Graduation Day and the ITE Significance!

March 27, 2008

March 24, 2008 at UIC Auditorium in Bajada Campus marked the 2008 Graduation Day for College Department. It was quite different compared to previous graduation rites from the past years. This time around was started with a baccalaureate thanksgiving mass presided by the Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Davao. The mass went smoothly. The homily was impacted and significant in the daily lives of the people present at that time, not just for the graduating students but as well as to the parents, faculty, administrators, friends and visitors and others.

After the mass, it was followed directly by the Graduation ceremony. Traditionally, it was started with the marching of colors and bringing of the University maze and was carried by the University Registrar.

Totally, the ceremony went smoothly still and compared to previous graduation rites, it ended up earlier as it was expected. Not to mentioned, there were fewer graduates this academic year compared to last years. Other changes were, the honor graduates were infront or frontlining their batch. Each of the honor graduates was coveted as well their other instituional awards once their name was called infront.

In our program, we had 3 Magna Cum Laudes and 1 Cum Laude. For the 3 Magna Cum Laudes, they were Katherine Dacanay of the BSIT, a recipient as well of the The Collegiate Immaculate Award, Service Award, Gold Medallion for Loyalty, program Outstanding Student Award, and Literary Award, another is Mary Grace Ignacio of the BSIT, recipient of program Performing Arts and Literary Awards, and proponent for the Best IT Project of 2008, and Yvonnie Marimon of the BSIT is another Magna Cum Laude and recipient of Program Performing Arts Award. The Cum Laude was awarded to Marie Chris Cadenas of the BSIT and recipient of Program Performing Arts Award.

We had as well the Outstanding IT Student for Region XI sponsored by PSITE XI and the award was given to Raphael Gregor Banta of the BSIT. He also recieved the Service and Program Outstanding Student Awards, Leadership Award, Special Talent Award, Literary Award, and proponent for the Best IT Project of 2008.

I would like to acknowledge as well the excellent performance of the two BSCS graduates of 2008. Michael Angelo Tarongoy, for Program Academic Excellence and a proponent for the Best CS Thesis of 2008 and another citation was given to Mechelle Dimas, for Program Academic Excellence and a proponent for the Best CS Thesis of 2008. Mechelle received as well the Program Performing Arts Award and Special Talent Award.

See, that’s how our ITE program now! We are not just excelling in sports but as well in the academic arena.

Congratulations guys!
You made us proud of you!

Easter Sunday!

March 23, 2008

Easter, also called Pascha, is the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day after his crucifixion around AD 33. Many non-religious cultural elements have become part of the holiday, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike.

The Resurrection of Jesus

It’s a new day and new life for all of us. Let’s not waste the sacrifices and love Jesus. May God bless us all.

Thank you very much Jesus for always being there saving us from any harm and temptations.

Black Saturday

Holy Saturday is the day before Easter in the Christian calendar. It is sometimes called Easter Eve or Easter Even, especially by Anglicans, Low Saturday. Filipinos often call it Black Saturday or Sábado de Gloria, while in the Czech Republic and Slovakia it is called White Saturday, probably because of white garments of the newly baptized. In Dutch it is known as Silent Saturday (Stille Zaterdag). It is the seventh and last day of Holy Week, and part of the second day of the Easter Triduum. Holy Saturday is also often incorrectly called Easter Saturday, a term that properly refers to the following Saturday.

Let’s acknowledge the victory of Jesus on the cross over sins.

Good Friday!

March 21, 2008

Good Friday, also called Holy Friday or Great Friday, is the Friday immediately preceding Easter Sunday. It commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus at Calvary.

Let’s remember Jesus even in small little things.

Pacquiao VS Marquez, The Event!

LAS VEGAS, Nevada—For bettors, chances are almost nil that Mexican champion Juan Manuel Marquez will knock out Filipino challenger Manny Pacquiao in the first round of their World Boxing Council Super featherwight title bout on Saturday.

As of Friday evening, a $100 bet on such occurrence would return a hefty $4,200.

A first round knockout by Pacquiao, on the other hand, would net just $1,800 for every $100 wager.

History plays a part in the stacking of odds: Pacquiao downed Marquez three times in the opening round of their first meeting on May 8,2004 that eventually ended in a draw.

Pacquiao is listed a heavy favorite for this rematch at -235 and Marquez is at +195. Simply put a $235 bet on Pacquiao would just net $100 while a $100 wager on Marquez would give $195.

Pacquiao’s reputation as a power puncher is also evident with odds of him scoring a knockout listed at 77 percent.

Bettors think there will be a stoppage this time, with a $165 bet returning just $100.

Buffett of the USA is richest; Gates dethroned after 13 years of dominance!

March 9, 2008

The article was taken from msn.com, articled from the Forbes.com New sets of Billionaires in the World, still the USA took the top spot with Henry William gates followed closely to 3rd place. FYI: Bill Gates of the Microsoft Corp. has been in the top spot for 13 years. For more details, read the full coverage of the article below:

Warren Buffett is the richest person on the planet.

Riding the surging price of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, news, msgs) stock, the man called America’s most beloved investor has seen his fortune swell to an estimated $62 billion, up $10 billion from a year ago. That massive pile of scratch puts him ahead of Microsoft (MSFT, news, msgs) co-founder Bill Gates, who had been the richest person in the world for the past 13 years.

Gates is now worth $58 billion and is ranked third in the world. He is up $2 billion from a year ago and would have been perhaps as rich — or richer — than Buffett had Microsoft not made an unsolicited bid for Yahoo (YHOO, news, msgs) at the beginning of February. (Microsoft is the publisher of MSN Money.)

Microsoft shares fell 15% between Jan. 31, the day before the company announced its bid for the search-engine giant, and Feb. 11, the day we locked in stock prices for the 2008 World’s Billionaires list. More than half of Gates’ fortune is held outside Microsoft shares.

Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim Helú is the world’s second-richest person, with an estimated net worth of $60 billion. His fortune has risen $11 billion since last March.

Buffett, whose fortune is estimated based on his stake in Berkshire Hathaway and assets he holds outside the company, declined to comment on his net worth.

The race for the title of world’s richest person has been extremely competitive in recent months. Class A shares of Berkshire Hathaway soared 25% between mid-July and the day we priced our list. The stock hit an all-time high of more than $150,000 a share in December. At that time Buffett was worth roughly $65 billion.

How I wish, these billionaires will pour these billions in the poor countries like ours. How I wish.
