About Me

I am a 3rd year high school student from SLU-LHS Baguio City. I was an elementary graduate before. I love to hear music specially the rock kind that brings to it. That's why I have so much interest in playing an instrument which is the guitar. I sort of not want to have guitar lessons but it can be much better if I study it by myself. We are five in the family my dad, Wilson Domlasin, and my mom, Catherine Domalsin. I have 2 siblings, Kate Domalsin, my sister, and James Ryan Domalsin, my brother. They are both have an interest in playing the guitar so I learned from them but only the basics. I wanted to create a good band that never quits playing music but when it comes to studies we always prioritize it first. I also like surfing and challenging big waves in the sea and wanted to join tournaments but it takes a long time to practice.








10 ways to fix Philippine Basic Education

1. 12-Year Basic Education Cycle
2.   Universal pre-schooling for all 
3.   Madaris Education as a sub-system within the Education system. 
4. Technical vocational education as an alternative stream in senior high school.
5.   “Every Child a Reader” by Grade 1
6.   Science and Math proficiency 
7.   Assistance to private schools as essential partners in basic education  
8.   Medium of Instruction rationalized 
9.   Quality textbooks 
10.   Covenant with Local Governments to build more schools

12 Year Curriculum 
"Filipinos are smart". I don't know why, but Filipinos nowadays can finish their studies in an earlier time. 

I thought we would make thing more easier and everybody knows that. There are positives and negatives about this implementation, one positive side of this is that some say "Para daw masaya" - huh?!, I don't get  the idea of being fun with adding additional two years of education for elementary and high school. One for the negative side of it is that I think that most Filipinos not only think about their childrens education but also for their tuition fee's that I know will gauge higher somehow. But I hope for somehow it can be "fun" for the incoming students who will experience this for awaiting implementation. Well, its all up to P-NOY and the Department of Education (DepEd) to decide if it will be implemented, and I also hope if they can think it all over again.


From Juan Miguel “Mike” Luz
“If they think it’s anti-poor…I think you should go to the rest of the world and ask them: Does education hurt you? Does education help you? I think the answer is pretty clear,” he said.

“The World Bank said we’re leaking, that’s corruption, about P400 billion a year. If we tighten up on what we’re leaking, we should be able to pay for this. It’s money that is not available, it is money we’re actually wasting,” he said.


"If the rest of the world, which has done much better than the Philippines, has gone to 12-years or more, I don’t understand how we can think we’re smarter," he added.

-We are smart Filipinos :)
"MABUHAY!!!"
