The Province of Capiz is celebrating its 9th Boys and Girls Week which started last Monday, September 22 and would end on September 26. This 5-day project is sponsored by the The Rotary Club of Metro Roxas (RCMR). The Project started in 1999 which committed to help the Capiz youth to develop their leadership skills.

A rigorous selection process conducted in order to select the best and the brightest youth in the province. The project was only offered to the top 5 fourth-year students both in the public and private high schools in Capiz. They were given qualifying examination and the top 20 qualifiers had undergone another written examination. A panel interview was conducted, which determined the final 15 winners who was installed as Capiz Boy/Girl Governor,Vice-Governor and Sangguniang Panlalawigan members. These selected boys and girls are address as real province officials. They are being called Honorable Governor or Honorable Board Member for the entire week.

This project is supported and endorsed by the Department of Education. According to Rotary International this project vital because it gives importance and recognition to the youth as the future hope and leaders of our fatherland.

Having Fun In The Rain In Captivating Capiz

It keeps on raining for two two days in a row, it stops for a while then pours on unmercifully again.  When I look at the rice fields the water started to rise which shows the possibility of flooding again, making the farmers to be nervous  because of the threat that their rice which is supposed to be harvested soon will be submerged in water.  When this happen the captivating capiz is not so captivating anymore. 

We have no class today because its CAPRISA(Capiz Private Schools Association) week.  No class and its raining, it is a perfect ingredients for one boring day.  I stared at the window and watch the rainfall, watching the raindrops and gentle swaying of leaves make me quite sentimental.   It makes me smile because it triggers the pleasant memory of my childhood.  The times where I knew nothing but having fun, no complications and no obligations.  I could still clearly remember bathing in the rain with my sister and my cousins, running  and laughing  not a  caring a single thought of being sick or being seen naked.  How I wish I could do something like that again, but it seems impossible.  I can't be able to bathe and play in the rain naked, I could get arrested to indecent exposure.  

Wonderful memories seem to flood my mind every time the rain is falling. It feels good. It restores my faith in things, in people, in life. It makes my life a little lighter and happier too.

Putting In A Box

We normally hear the expression thinking inside(outside) the box, which means going beyond what is normal. This type of thinking is usually viewed positively because it can produce create and highly imaginative ideas.  On the other way around, another idea which is called the "Putting in a Box" seems to be viewed negatively.  This simply means categorizing or labeling things in the same category and its often treated in a general manner.  For example, if you are born in Capiz they would label you as aswang, putting you in a box which was set for all Capizeño long before you were born.  In some instances, people are the putting all residence in squatters area as either thief, drug pusher or prostitute in the same box without even considering that there are many outstanding citizens and professional living in that area.

Putting in a box is a bad way of labeling a person, it connotes discrimination.  Nobody wants to be discriminated in whatever way, even in that stupid putting in a box thinking.  No two people is alike and what other have done doesn't mean all of them done it all.   Stop putting people in the box.
