Excerpt from I am Looking for a Pilipino

Is it so hard to believe that we can remain Filipinos and still march on ward,
ever onward to our national destiny? And our mind so narrow, is our intelligence so
limited that we cannot realize this truth? Can we not see that we can adopt the foreign
ways and yet retain the enduring, the admirable qualities that can make the Filipino
great? Have we been so westernized that we find the Filipino way alien to our mode of
living?

The Filipino way is our legacy. It is found in the determination and fortitude,
the determination that made it possible for our brothers in the mountains to build the
breath-taking rice terraces. It is found in our courage, in the courage that sustained us
at Mactan,at Trad Pass, in Bataan. It is found in our simplicity and modesty, in the
beauty of Angelus at twilight, and in the sincerity of our devotion to our God and our
country

These qualities are still in us – in our minds and in our hearts. We can still dig
them out if we would only forget about our obsessions with brown Americanism. We can
still dig them out if would only dig hard enough.
 I am looking for a Filipino I cannot find him among those who shout self-
righteously about nationalism and nationalization. I cannot see him among those who
preach about Filipinism but whose preaching are empty and meaningless.

Will my search be long and vain? It will be I am afraid unless we wake in time.
It will never end unless we realize the sacredness of our heritage, unless we see the
richness and the beauty, the glory and the

wonder, the promise and the fulfillment of the Filipino vision.

-Prof. Felix Bautista

Orville and Wilbur Wright built their own wind tunnel to test airfoils and measure
how to lift a flying machine into the sky. They were the first to discover that a long,
narrow wing shape is ideal for flight. They figured out how to move the vehicle freely,
not just across land but up and down on a cushion of air. They built a moveable part of
the tail to control the pitch of their craft as it nosed up and down. They fashioned a pair
of twin rudders in back to control its tendency to swerve off course. They devised a
pulley system that warped the shape of the wings in mid-flight to turn the plane and to
stop it from rolling side-to-side. They used the data from their wind-tunnel experiments
to design the first effective airplane propellers. When they discovered that a lightweight
gas-powered engine did not exist, they designed and built their own.

Medical knowledge in ancient Egypt had an excellent reputation, and rulers of

other empires would ask the Egyptian pharaoh to send them their best physician to treat
their love ones. Egyptians had some knowledge of human anatomy, even though they
never dissected the body. For example, in the classic mummification process, they
knew how to insert a long hooked implement through a nostril, breaking the thin bone of
the brain case and remove the brain. Egyptian physicians also were aware of the
importance of the pulse and of a connection between pulse and heart. They developed
their theory of “channels” that carried air, water, and blood to the body by observing the
River Nile. If the Nile became blocked, crops became unhealthy. They applied their
theory to the body- if a person was unwell, they would use laxatives to unblock the
“channels.”

Many factors play a role in determining a student’s learning style. Among those
most often cited in the research literature on learning style are environmental,
emotional, sociological, physiological, and psychological factors. Environmental factors
include students’ reactions to search stimuli as sound, light, temperature, and room
design.

Emotional factors include motivation, persistence, responsibility, and structure.

Some students are motivated intrinsically; they undertake and complete tasks because
they see the value in doing so. Sociological factors include whether or not students are
social learners-preferring to work in pairs or in groups-or whether they are independent
learners-preferring to work alone.

Physiological factors include student’s preferences for food or drink, what time of
day they learn best, and their mobility needs.

In our veins, pulses blood with races of Chinese and Spanish and American, but it does
not stop, being a Filipino, because of these.

Our culture, is tinged with foreign influences, but it has become rich thereby.

This mingling, in fact could speed us on the road, to national greatness. Look at
America, it is a great country, and yet it is melting pot of Italian, and German, British,
and French, or Irish and Swedish.

Filipinism, after all, is in the heart.

If the heart beats faster, because the Philippines is making progress, If it fills, with
compassion because its people are suffering, then it belongs to a true Filipino, And if it
throbs, with pride in our past, if it pulses with awareness of the present, if it beats with a
faith

in the future, then we could ask, for nothing more, all other things are unimportant.

I have an American first name.

And I have a Chinese last name.

And I am proud, very proud, because underneath these names beats a Filipino heart.

Excerpt from the Cask of Amontillado

The thousand injuries of Fotunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured
upon insult I vowed revenge. You who so well know the nature of my soul, will not
suppose, however, that gave utterance to a threat. At length I would be avenged, this
was a point definitely, settled – but the very definitiveness with which it was resolved
precluded the idea of risk. I must not only punish but punish with impunity. A wrong is
unredressed when retribution overtakes its redresser. It is equally unredresssed when
the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him wh has done the wrong.

It must be understood that neither by word or deed had I given Fortunato cause to
doubt my good will. I continued, as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not
perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.

He had a weak point – this Fortunato – although in other regards he was a man to be
respected and even feared. He prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. Few,
Italians have the true virtuoso spirit. For the most part of their enthusiasm is adopted to
suit the time and the opportunity, to practice imposture upon the British and Austrian
millionaires. In painting and gemmary, Fortunato, like his countrymen, was a quack, but
in the matter of old wines he was sincere. In this respect I did not refer him materially, --I
was skillful in the Italian vintage myself, and bought largely whenever I could.

-Edgar Allan Poe

Many factors play a role in determining a student’s learning style. Among those
most often cited in the research literature on learning style are environmental,
emotional, sociological, physiological, and psychological factors. Environmental factors
include students’ reactions to search stimuli as sound, light, temperature, and room
design.

Emotional factors include motivation, persistence, responsibility, and structure.

Some students are motivated intrinsically; they undertake and complete tasks because
they see the value in doing so. Sociological factors include whether or not students are
social learners-preferring to work in pairs or in groups-or whether they are independent
learners-preferring to work alone.

Physiological factors include student’s preferences for food or drink, what time of
day they learn best, and their mobility needs.

Physiological factors include identifying students’ perceptual strengths like

learning modalities such as whether they are visual, auditory, tactile, or kinaesthetic
learners.

Orville and Wilbur Wright built their own wind tunnel to test airfoils and measure
how to lift a flying machine into the sky. They were the first to discover that a long,
narrow wing shape is ideal for flight. They figured out how to move the vehicle freely,
not just across land but up and down on a cushion of air. They built a moveable part of
the tail to control the pitch of their craft as it nosed up and down. They fashioned a pair
of twin rudders in back to control its tendency to swerve off course. They devised a
pulley system that warped the shape of the wings in mid-flight to turn the plane and to
stop it from rolling side-to-side. They used the data from their wind-tunnel experiments
to design the first effective airplane propellers. When they discovered that a lightweight
gas-powered engine did not exist, they designed and built their own.

A major problem that the article mentions is an airplane’s tendency to
