In today's educational setup, online learning is widely used in colleges and universities. It provides us myriads of advantages as well as disadvantages. In this set up we don't need to travel or commute from home to school and vice versa. We can stay and learn at the comfort of our own space. We can re-watch lectures if we missed to attend classes on time and finish school works wherever we are. It also saves time and money. However, now we are in the midst of pandemic and traditional schooling is strictly prohibited, this the sad part because we missed how enjoying attending face to face class is. The spirit of studying we missed like when we are in classrooms and library together with our classmates and friends.


      Moreover, in this set up students will always tend to skip class because they think that they have their time later for it like re-watching lectures. Also when we are in our own space every distraction might occur in an instant, also we tend to fall asleep while studying because we're just like laying in bed watching and listening in online classes. Yes, online classes are really convenient but it is burdensome to those who cant afford it or to those who have no access on Internet, less fortunate family who don't have technologies, especially for those students that don't have a healthy and peaceful learning environment at home.


     For me, it's really cost effective and helpful because everything can be done at a pace where the student is comfortable with. It allows me to be more flexible in my time and study at my own convenience by watching lectures any time. However, it is also kind of exhausting and stressing because different kind of troubles might occur especially when there is an interruption in power supply, weak Internet connection and of course unaffordability to buy necessary device. Also I don't have my own space in our home, it is hard to set apart the stress I am having from school to problems we are dealing at home. Unlike before when there is face to face classes you can set aside for the mean your personal dealings and enjoy attending school. One more thing, is that we really miss out the enjoyment of studying together with our friends in one room, in a classroom.


      However, it is really satisfying and something we can be proud of because even we are in the midst of pandemic these days and enduring this kind of educational set up, we still conquer it and we made this far. We are now in the last year of our college days. We are slowly entering the real corporate world. Of course we couldn't make it without the unending support of the people who continuously believing in us, family, friends and relatives, thank you. Special thanks to our sponsors who was there all throughout our journey supporting us everything we needed, Ms. Maria and Sir Richard and also Ate Rasha for guiding us. We also want to apologize for our shortcomings as your scholars. And above all to our God Almighty, all glory belongs to Him.

Thank you.

There are a lot of things that happened during our 3rd year in college but mostly it focuses on preparing us to become more equipped individuals. As we all know online classes really change the educational system which takes me some time to adjust to like the classes are virtually and the works are done through smartphones and the use internet. As an inspiring entrepreneur, the things that I've learned in the past school year will surely be used to further develop myself to face challenges in the future.

 

The things that I've learned technically speaking are how to manage a manufacturing business, culinary, wholesale and retail, and of course business plan preparation. First, how to manage a manufacturing business, just like any other type of business, manufacturing goods follow a step by step process, in other words, there is a system that needs to be followed this is the most memorable thing that I've learned in manufacturing, organized equates to productivity. In culinary our prof teaches us about the culinary industry and why it is such a good investment, culinary is not all about the food there is a business side where great minds dwell and make the food industry prosper, as a business person this subject makes me want to invest in a food business in the future and implement new ideas and innovations. In wholesale and retail it teaches me more about communication, communication is one of the keys in becoming a successful business owner, wholesale and retail is not all about trading, it is about building a good relationship with your consumers and business partners. And of course the business plan preparation, this is the first step in establishing our own business, this subject is hard because there is no room for error, as an entrepreneurial student, this is one of the things that we should be able to do flawlessly if we tend to create our own business which is why I put in a lot of work in this subject and to be honest i have learned a lot from my mistakes here. These things summarize the things that i have learned in the last school year.

 

I want to thank Ms. Maria and Sir Richard for the continuous support for my studies, without them I will not be able to learn all of these wonderful things, being an entrepreneurial student surely helps me a lot and makes me understand this world that we lived in, I will surely use all of the knowledge I have gained in the past years to continue to work for the improvement of myself and help my family and other people in the near future, again thank you maam and sir for the oppurtunity and support, i'm forever grateful.

Stickyron is one of the product that we made and sold to customers. It is a combination of glutinous flour which is called malagkit and cocoa. Lumpia wrapper is filled with the malagkit mixture and deep fried to perfection. Then add condensed milk and sugar (optional).

Each student in our class needs to create or innovate food individually. So I made these cakes with all by myself and my own process. I'm happy that I learned how to bake a cake, have my own process and list of ingredients. I also sold some of these cakes through marketplace in Facebook. Hoping that I can continue doing this, improve with this skills and I'm looking forward to this kind of business.

This pandemic brought us so much despair and agony in life. Many people lost their loved ones, many people lost their jobs, and many establishments are forced to shut down. Even though the world is falling because of the pandemic, we still have many reasons to fight and not give up. Currently, I am a 4th-year college student at the University of Caloocan City taking up a Bachelor of Science Major in Information Technology and I am happy to tell you that finally I’m graduating soon, at this moment I am taking my internship on the said school. And we are managing the enrollment process and all the school stuff. My schedule is every Tuesday and Thursday, and I commute every time I go to school, we all know that it is still pandemic so that I’m taking much more precautions when I go outside. A few months from now, I am seeing myself in the big crowd, wearing my black toga, but I know it will not happen because of the quarantine guidelines, meaning our Graduation rights will be done virtually, still I am very much honored and grateful because I surpass all those struggling years, and all those sleepless nights will be rewarded, soon.

 

After these 2 semesters I can finally say that I achieve something great in life though I am too far behind victory, this is just my stepping stone, a guide for my future success. Because I strongly believed that “A million journey begins with a single step” this is my step for something greater and bigger and I cannot achieve these with the help of Manila Life Chances Foundation, to Ma’am Maria, Sir Richard, and to all the sponsors, a big virtual hug in behalf of the scholars and beneficiaries, we are very thankful because you are the first ones who believed in our ability, you are the reason why we are here, finally achieving our greatest dream in life, thank you so much Ma’am Maria and Sir Richard for all the support, we owe you so much, we will repay it by making the MLCP Foundation proud. God bless us you Ma’am Maria and Sir Richard, we are praying for your safety and good health. And good luck to the future endeavors of the MLCP Foundation.

There is no subsitute for hard work

Joy Aloro

December 30, 2019

 

 

 

It takes a lot of prayers, hardworks and perseverance to have the thing or place that you've always been dreaming of. Also, it doesn't matter which path you will take,what matter is that someway or another you'll end up in a place where you can grow as better person.

 

It has been a tough and gracious semestral term. We've been through a lot of things physically, mentally, emotionally as well as financially. Being an accounting student is such a blessing and i think a bit burdensome. It is not just easy as I thought before. But I always treat it as a challenge and a great opportunity at the same time. Everything I have overcome and done now are all of because the grace of the Lord who always sustains us. Also, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude and honor to you Ms. Maria and Mr. Richard, I am really grateful that until now I have you as my financial rock who always support my studies. I admit it that I/we always failed you from doing our duties as the member of MLCP, I am really sorry for that. No amount of money can compensate to all of the things you've done for us from the very beginning and also for the many chances you've given to us for us to be retained here in the scholarship. I owe you a lot, Mam/Sir. Your kindness is one of the things that always push me to pursue my dreams even sometimes it looks like impossible to go on. Now, I am a sophomore (Second year student) at the University of Caloocan City taking up Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. This course really molds my character as a student. Yes, one of the hardest course as many people are saying. From discussions, activities to major exams. Everything is tremendous. I really find it hard to maintain a high grade, but I am doing my best just to retain in this course until I graduate. And to take the the board exam.


Just always put in your mind that everything you do, do it for the glory of the Lord. He put you to the place where you at right now. Just finish the race with Him. Everything may look hard but all of this will be worth it as we look back someday. So keep going, students.

Once again, thank you Ms. Maria and Mr. Richard for the financial support and patience. We declare abundance blessing to your family and a good health.

"Success comes to those who are willing to fight for their dreams"


I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Ma'am. Maria and Sir Richard for the continuous financial support that you have given me . Your generosity will allow me to pursue my dreams, and for that, I cannot thank you enough.


Now I'm studying at the University of Caloocan City as a Second Year College Student taking Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurial Management. However, my family financial conditions hard to provide the needs for this course. With you Ma'am Maria and Sir Richard, your generosity and support will help me focused on my academics without having to worry about the finances. In our first semester I'm performing well and focused on my obligations as a student and doing well my duties and responsibilities as a Business Manager of Young Entrepreneurs Society our Organization.


As taking this course is so hard and challenging because it challenge my ability to innovate something or create something new and make it popular. However, it helps me to be more knowledgeable and thinking deeper than anything. It's hard to get a high grades but I'm taking the risks just to make it possible.I want to continue this course to pursue my dreams which is to help my family and to have a business with the mission to help people especially those children who wants to study but lack of financial support.


Thank you once again for your generosity. I promise I will work hard to prove myself worthy of this opportunity you've given me. I hope that one day I will be able to help struggling students to reach their goals in higher education by assisting them in the same way you are helping me. Thank you so much Ma'am Maria and Sir Richard Godbless us!

My Life as a student

Glenelle Bonsay

December 30, 2019

 

 

 

The most important factor that affects the student life is the value of time. Being a student, we should do everything on time as it never waits for anyone. There are different stages in our life. One of these stages is student days. Student life is considered as the most important period in our life. Our future dreams, desires and hopes depend upon it. Student life is a period of preparations. It is a period of education. At this time, our mind is like clay.

 

Clay is a soft thing and the potter designs various things out of the clay. Like clay, our mind can also be shaped in different ways. Once the pots are made their shape cannot be changed. Likewise, once our character is formed in one way, it cannot be changed easily. If we make right use and receive good education during our student life, we shall be successful in future. On the other hand, if we aren’t serious at this time, we can’t achieve our goals.

 

Students, therefore, should be very careful. We must think seriously before every step we take. We must learn new things as much as possible at this period.

Students are the future leaders of a nation. The prosperity of a nation depends on its students. We have a responsibility to acquire proper education, maintain good character and live a respectable social life. Obedience, diligence, regularity and forbearance are the important parts of student life. We must learn perseverance; it is the root of all success. If we are idle and cannot move on according to time, we can achieve nothing.

 

I am honored to be one of the recipients of the Manila Life Chances Foundation.

Thanks to your generous support Ms. Maria and Sir Richard, I am the first in my family to attend college.

 

Growing up in a less privileged community has not only offered financial and academic challenges, but has also helped me realize the value of a college education.

First off the guys have already produced a 'Manila Life Chances Agreement' setting out our reasonable expectations from each pupil and student participating in the programme. Of particular interest is the "no tatoos" rule, which has already got Maam Maria looking up laser removal clinics.   

Feeding Program

Last July 2, 2014  we conducted a feeding program at Phase 4 package 4 in Bagong Silang Caloocan City. The team Manila Life Chances (MLC) organized the program in partnership with the Coast Guard Phil. Team, with special participation of our guess from Holland Heinz Meijer and also the people who made the program possible. We just started the program at around 2:00 pm and all the children were gathered at the venue. We prepared 3 games before the feeding get started. The children were so excited about the games, we had hep hep hooray, stop dance and the boat is sinking. All of them are happy and participated the games very well. 

 

 

We prepared some food and drinks for them, they also received gifts from MLC. The teams MLC were very much overwhelmed about the result of the program. A child is always been a child, happiness is best pictured at their smile. It’s a little thing we made for them but the laughter of the children on that program repays all our effort on that day. Team MLC believed that “Every child is a gift” to give and extend our care to every little child is our mission. It’s good to see those little teeth smiling towards our team after the program.
