Wazzup Pilipinas!

After years of sleepless nights of "Walang Tulugan", the Master Showman finally gets his well-deserved "rest".

"In a statement sent to GMA News Online, John Nite said that German Moreno, who is popularly known as Kuya Germs died at 3:20 a.m. due to cardiac arrest, one year after suffering from a stroke.
Nite is Moreno's nephew and co-host in GMA's "Walang Tulugan with the Master Showman."

"He passed on in the company of his family and friends. He lived a full life, touched so many hearts through the years, and helped make dreams come true for most of the biggest stars in the Philippine entertainment industry," he said. "We are deeply saddened by his passing but we are comforted by the thought that his legacy will live on."

The late-night host of Walang Tulugan was confined at St. Lukes Hospital in Quezon City after suffering a stroke, and entered a coma afterwards.

Born on October 4, 1943, Kuya Germs had humble beginnings as he started as a utility worker at the once popular Clover Theater in Manila in the 1950s. He became a stage actor and later a film star. He earned his big break in television during the late ’70s, as host of the Sunday noontime show, GMA Supershow. He soon became host and producer of That’s Entertainment, which launched many local performers into superstardom.

Determining and Formulating Objectives, Lesson Planning and the K-12 Plan

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Lessons are the building blocks of learning. Each lesson has its own prerequisite steps and is also the application of the metacognitive and the scaffolding process. We can say that they are the significant substantial aids in order to assist the students’ acquisition of knowledge as well as their capability to perform, employ and create.

One of the concepts we educators have tackled was Bloom’s Taxonomy, which ultimately tells us the way of distinguishing the fundamental questions and the manifestation of higher order thinking skills like analysis and creation. Formulating objectives which concur with this concept like using words corresponding with the levels of Bloom’s taxonomy is a great start, which is exhibited by one of the K to 12’s defining features which is the spiral curriculum. When it is time for us to create our learning plans, we should make sure that it is understandable in the eyes of our students.

In order to carry out the necessary steps of an ideal lesson, we must first construct effective yet realistic goals. The purpose of a lesson is its heart and the execution is its mind. Instilling the benefits of each lesson is quite achievable, provided that there are appropriate and adept objectives. Placing ourselves in the perspectives of the students and making them aware of possible academic achievements beforehand makes a worthwhile and active learning plan.

Crafting a good learning plan also produces numerous advantages. For one, it helps us educators to make excellent use of our time. Nowadays, with the K to 12 curriculum underway, it helps us promote interaction and student participation. When I am in front, I will remember to follow my prepared learning plan as it guarantees a successful outcome.

"Dear big news network na hindi News5,

Mas mataas na nga ratings niyo, ang laki naman ng budget ninyo, mas malalaki ang sahod niyo, at mas marami kayong tao. Konting originality naman. Grabe na nga kayo maka-delihensiya sa ads. Mukhang namimihasa na kayo e. 'Wag naman pong garapalan. ‪#‎BayawTheOriginal‬" - Lourd De Veyra

Under News5, Rodolfo "Jun" Sabayton plays a nuisance candidate running under B.A.Y.A.W. or the Bagong Alyansang Ayaw sa Walang Hiya platform.It is actually an advocacy campaign to help the electorate choose which candidate is best qualified to lead the country for the next six years.

But rather than just come up with a mere static slogan with a limited shelf life that is not likely to go beyond a briefly trending hashtag, the News5 team decided to go with something more interactive, something that voters could better relate to, something that will stick to people’s consciousness before, during and after the election campaign period.

Thus, the “B.A.Y.A.W. for President” campaign was born.

Pero diretsahan na tayo. GMA 7 daw ay nanggaya ng konsepto sa kanilang latest na political campaign in the person of Governor Gary Palan portrayed by Michael V or Bitoy. Madaming characters lang (Congresswoman Mimi Hasa for Na-mimihasa and Mayor Delly N. Sha for delihensiya) and using Michael V's impersonation talent. Binanggit na ni Generoso Cupal sa last episode ng kotrabando yung character eh. Halata na nasaktan ang team kontrabando. Buhos buhos yun effort pero ginaya lang. Sayang talaga.
