Happy Teacher's Day!

You may hate them for their strict policies but someday you'll notice that you'll learn more if they force you to study. But where can you find a school with no rules? Hmm?

In the Philippines, we usually celebrate a special day for our mentors, aka teachers. But this October 5, we celebrate World Teachers Day. Today (or yesterday), we dedicate this special day for those people who taught us how to read, write, count, speak, sing, dance, play any ball game, or even how to please another person.

Even for a moment, let's take some of our time and give something to our beloved teachers. They may have given us low grades, maybe because we deserve it. We give more attention to their personal lives than to their lessons. Let's give them something, a small note will do, to let them realize that we value them. Imagine a world where there are no one who shares you how to do stuff, such as putting your name on paper, or singing a tune that will melt every girl/boy's heart.

A 12-day film marathon of Spanish films will sure suffice the high-class, first rate Filipino film buffs' taste. Totally assured that what they are to watch are quality work of arts, with significant world views and spiced with social relevance, viewers will enjoy with only a fee of Php65 per film.
