Dalawang apps na gawang-Pinoy lalahok sa kompetisyon ng NASA

Source: https://newsprod.abs-cbnnews.com

MAYNILA -- Dalawang gawang-Pinoy na app ang sasabak sa pandaigdigang kompetisyon ng NASA, ang primerong space agency ng Estados Unidos.

Kabilang dito ang ISDApp na gawa ng ilang Filipino IT professionals kabilang na sina Revbrain Martin at Jeddah Legaspi na empleyado ng ABS-CBN Creative Communications Management.
Ginawa ang ISDApp para mabigyan ng mga lokal na pamahalaan ng text alert ang mga mangingisda ukol sa sitwasyon ng panahon at ng karagatan.


Isa pang sasabak sa patimpalak ng NASA ang Vita app, isang disaster-preparedness app na gumagawa ng paraan para magkaroon ng komunikasyon sa cellphone kahit walang signal.
Ang app na ito, na merong ding mga mapa at checklist, ay gawa ng magkakaibigang estudyante na kumukuha ng mga kursong computer science, IT, at engineering.
Ang dalawang app na nabanggit ay nagwagi sa isang hackathon na isinagawa ng US Embassy at De La Salle University sa Maynila nitong weekend. Binigyan ng tig-P5,000 ang mga nanalong grupo.
Pipili lamang ang NASA ng anim na pinakamahusay na konsepto mula sa mga nanalo sa hackathon sa 200 pang ibang lugar sa daigdig.
Ikatlong taon na ito ng kompetisyon ng NASA Space Apps sa Pilipinas. Isinagawa ngayong taon sa tulong ng US Embassy, De La Salle University, PLDT, at Idea Space Foundation.

College grad is proud of her father for seeing her education through with earnings as a garbage collector

Source: GMA News

Every day, Tatay Cristito wakes up at 3 a.m. to get to work at 4 a.m., where he is exposed to all sorts of risks and health hazards.
He is a garbage collector, a job most unglamorous and hardly well compensated, but it doesn’t matter. He wants his kids to finish their studies and he will do everything he can for them to do so.
It’s not always easy. “Mahirap, kasi marami akong anak. Pero kahit mahirap, kinakaya ko. Minsan wala kaming makain.”

Last April, he witnessed one of his kids graduate college. Jenny Rose Quimado successfully graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Food Technology.
She echoes her father, saying their situation is difficult. “Minsan, pumapasok akong walang baon...pero nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos na siya ang tatay ko kasi marangal ang trabaho niya. Wala siyang ginagawang iligal.”
Her pride of her dad amuses her Tatay Cristito. “Pagtinatanong ng tao, ‘Anong ginagawa ng tatay mo?’ Sumasagot yan, ‘Basurero!’ Hindi siya nahihiya,” Tatay Cristito smiles.
Jenny says she wants to be able to bring her father to good restaurants, buy him nice  clothes. “Gusto kong ako na ang magta-trabaho[para] ako na lang ang magpapa-aral sa mga kapatid ko,” she finishes her litany of plans of how to show gratitude to her father for his hardwork. — LA, GMA News

Pinoy scholars can attend this prestigious US college

Source: GMA News

Studying in one of United States’ Ivy League schools is not as unattainable as it seems for students in the Philippines.
In fact, Dartmouth College in New Hampshire is actively seeking Filipino applicants who display potential.

Zholl Tablante, Senior Assistant Director of Admissions at Dartmouth — and proudly 100 percent Pinoy — said that the college offers generous financial aid to accepted applicants who need it.
“No matter if the student is rich or poor, or somewhere in between, getting into an Ivy League school is not impossible, and getting the aid to go to an Ivy League school is definitely something that’s very attainable,” Tablante told GMA News Online.
“Dartmouth is one of the handful of institutions that cover 100 percent of your demonstrated financial need, meaning that if you need aid, you apply for it, during your application if you apply for it, we will cover whatever cost is needed for you to attend there,” he added.
Having grown up in the province of Pampanga and consistently visiting the country despite having migrated to US, Tablante believes that Filipinos will be a good fit in Dartmouth.
“When you think about Filipinos, you think about generosity, you think about family values, you think about community, and undying work ethic. And that is all the qualities that we want to be able to bring to Dartmouth in full force,” he said.
Pretty much any high school student is qualified to apply, Tablante said.
Recognizing that not all schools are the same, the college only compares students within the same school to check their performance.
"Each place has its own different curriculum. We don’t compare students in that way. We only compare them to the students in their school to see how they’re performing," he said.
Tablante added that having students from a wide selection of schools in the Philippines would result to a full representation of the Filipino culture.
"We want to make sure we’re getting diversity within that diversity, where we’re getting people from international schools, local schools, religious schools, so that when you bring them to Dartmouth, you’re really representing the full picture of the Filipino life," he said.
Need-based aid
Once accepted, the costs of going to school in Dartmouth, and even other Ivy League schools, should not be an issue.
"It’s need-based financial aid. If you apply and if we feel like you fit, and you need $70,000, then we’ll give you $70,000," Tablante said.
"It’s all about whatever you need. If the student is amazing and we want them there, we’re going to get them there," he added.
Tablante said that they are funding students that have potential for impact in the community, who will utilize their education in Dartmouth to make a difference in the country.
“[We’re] now trying to build stories of students from different places in the Philippines and showcasing that there are amazing students in this country that are going to do great things when they come back from their education," he said.
How to apply
Go to admissions.dartmouth.edu and click "Apply now." All applicants will need to fill out an online form to apply.
Take note of the deadlines for admission applications and financial aid applications as well as schedules for enrollment. The dates are available for viewing in Dartmouth's website.
To complete your application, you will also need the following:
  • application fee or fee waiver
  • Dartmouth Writing Supplement
  • Secondary School report with transcript, school profile, and counselor evaluation
  • two teacher evaluations
  • SAT or ACT
For international students, you will also need to complete a TOEFL or IELTS exam.
Dartmouth also recommends to include peer recommendations, and two SAT subject tests. —JST, GMA News

13 Filipino war veterans honored in California

Source: https://news.abs-cbn.com

Thirteen veterans and 47 surviving families joined Sacramento Filipino veterans for a special congressional medal of honor ceremony at the California state capitol building.
 
Some veterans shared their stories like 95-year-old Alberto Acaya, who fought in both World War II and the Korean War.


 
"We were ordered by the president of the United States to serve the United States armed forces. Filipinos and American soldiers suffered the same humiliation and defeat and we suffered hardships, diseases and maltreatment by the enemy in the concentration camp, I suffered 10 months as a prisoner of war," he said.
 
The moment was marked with a series of high profile Filipinos like retired US Major General and Filipino veteran advocate Antonio Taguba, who stressed that these ceremonies are a chance for the legacies of veterans to continue.
 
"We now have the opportunity and commitment to extend the word of the soldiers stories to raise awareness of their lifelong quest for recognition because this medal symbolizes thousands of personal stories," Taguba said.
 
State Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani Cantil Sakauye also spoke to the veterans. Her father was living in Hawaii when Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941.
 
"The 13 veterans that are here today we are in debt to your service because you served and faced death on behalf of liberty for us and for generations that you knew not. But you faced that early on as young men to ensure liberty for a country that hadn’t promised you anything and then when it did promise you, waited so many years, to deliver justice," she said.
 
This is the 45th ceremony since the medal was revealed last year at a ceremony in Washington DC.
 
The bronze replicas have been part of nationwide fundraising efforts, from the community.
 
Taguba said he is hoping that the efforts continue so they can hold more ceremonies giving these Filipino war heroes their long overdue recognition.

Filipino students to work in Japan hotel, nursing care industries

Source: http://news.abs-cbn.com/
Philippine university students will be allowed to work as interns in various industries in the southern Japanese prefecture of Okinawa under a program approved Friday, to address labor shortages there in certain industries.
The first students are expected to begin internships in the hotel and nursing care industries as soon as next month, with the number of interns predicted to reach around 100 by year-end and possibly include other industries.
The internship program was agreed in a deal between five private universities in Manila and two Naha-based groups supporting foreign workers in Okinawa. The scheme is also aimed at recruiting people to work in Okinawa in the future.
"There is a demand for Filipino workers from various in
dustries as they can speak English and are hospitable," said an official of the secretariat of the cooperative for foreign nationals working in nursing care services in Okinawa.
"I hope they will consider Okinawa as a career choice after internship," the official added.
The five participating schools are Mapua University, University of the East, Jose Rizal University, the Philippine Women's University and Lyceum of the Philippines University.
The support center for foreign nationals including those of Japanese descent, and the cooperative for foreign nationals working in nursing care services in Okinawa, both located in the Okinawa capital Naha, will act as brokers between the universities and the hotel and nursing care industries in Okinawa.
