Power of Stories English Transcript



Dr. Grace Dalisay (Expert)
We always say that a very important part of learning is really reflection. One's not a machine so you have
to pause at certain times to reflect to re-energize so we have to be able to take a step back to look at
what we've done so far.


Mr. Agustin "Owen" Peña
I started my teaching career in 1997, right after graduation. I'm already 20 years in the teaching
profession. Initially I only planned to finish my contract and then move to another job but my experience
as a teacher started building up the interest in me such that I made other plans for myself and my
students.

Mr. Onofre "Pagsi" Pagsanghan
Well, I've been teaching for 65 years. I think I'm the oldest living teacher. I would represent the Ateneo
Inter-University Oratorical contest. I would be uneasy unless I showed my speech to Father Delaney and
one time, okay after he had gone through my speech he looks at me very intently and he says "You know
Pagsi, you have a rare gift. You're able to bring ideas up there, down here so that the man in the street
can understand what those ideas are." And then he looks at me very intently and he says, "Pagsi, have
you ever thought about being a high school teacher all your life?"

Ms. Irene Barzaga
I also have aunts who are teachers. So I guess I got the idea from there. As you know in the province
people look at you differently if you are in Manila. When my aunts would visit the province I see them
and I tell myself "Oh, it's nice to be a teacher." I like that way of life. I want to teach and also I want to
share what I know. I want to share it with the kids.

Dr. Jerome Buenviaje (Expert)
In my study I use this framework. How would you get or understand the passion of an educator. So I look
at two things. Number one is the life experiences both professional and personal and the influence of
work environment. In my study I believe that these two things are important factors and their life stories
within these two dimensions are contributing in the development of the passion of an educator.

Ms. Irene Barzaga
I realized I can do it. Whatever I can do outside I can bring it here. When they were taking the exam and
passed. My first batch I managed to help 13 graduate. So the feeling is different because can you imagine,
outside, it's just ordinary. I guess the quality that I was able to show there is that teaching inside the jail
is having perseverance and patience. And always looking at the positive effect. Even if we cannot avoid
the negative to not give up I still can do it.

Dr. Grace Dalisay (Expert)
Stories are very important because it's a way of organizing our thoughts regarding past events. It's
important because it's an avenue for us to share what we've been through, what we've learned along
the way.

Dr. Jerome Buenviaje (Expert)
Stories are powerful tools to unearth. It's like wisdom from the experiences of people.

Dr. Grace Dalisay (Expert)
Listening to what other people's experiences have been so that we can take inspiration from their
stories, to also learn from what they've done. It's very important to be able to share our experiences and
our challenges to drive us forward in the work that we do.

Dr. Jerome Buenviaje (Expert)
Passionate people have a uniform way of expression and then we have different challenges, different
forms because we have different lifestyle, origin but you will see that all these factors also contribute to
how the passion develop.

Dr. Grace Dalisay (Expert)
The environment can be the same and yet people have a different take on the environment. It's
interesting to see how different teachers in this context would interpret what's happening.

Mr. Armando "Bing" Lao
A teacher gets high mentoring if there's a protégé in the class. This protégé he will continue my paradigm.

Mr. Agustin "Owen" Peña
When I see my students and where they are living. In depressed areas, that's a high point for me. Why a
high point? These kids need me. I need to help them.

Dr. Fe A. Hidalgo
The principal was saying, "Ms. Hidalgo is leaving tomorrow. She will go to Grade 6." And the child was
saying, "You are not our teacher anymore?" but he was crying and these are moments, inspiring
moments for me as a new teacher at 19, I'd never forget. All of the things, as I end my career maybe
soon keep coming back to me as inspiration.

Mr. Onofre "Pagsi" Pagsanghan
Perhaps, I could in my own little way change people's lives by being a teacher. So I said to myself, "Mr.
Pagsi-- born to teach." That's the meaning of my life.
