Pangamuyo It Mga Manunuro
Pangamuyo It Mga Manunuro
Gin-Inakeanon ni Melchor F. Cichon
September 29, 2012
Tagabugna it Tanan nga Kaaeaman ag Haeangdon it mga Manunuro
Tan-awa it may paghigugma ro amon nga mga manunuro
Bugna-i sanda nga may pagkapat-ud
Nga sapupuhon ro nagahandum nga painu-ino
Ag indi gid pagtalikdi kaming haulihi
Bindesyunan ro andang mga tagipusuon
Ay gakalipay sanda kon magdaug
Ag silabuhon kon kami mapalsuhan
Taw-an sanda it maabi-abihon nga pasensiya
Ay ro daean it pagtuon buko’t maeumo
Pasigahon kanda ro ispirito it paghigugma
Raya ro dabdab nga nagasindi sa paghigugma it amon nga pagtuon
Buligi sanda sa pag-usoy it kaeaman sa kada estudyante
Ro andang pagpati kamon hay mas mahae pa ku sa grado
nga pagahimuon namon
Ipat-in kanda ro pagpangako nga padayunon ro pagtuon
Ginapakita kamon ro indi magkahadluk sa bag-ong
kaaeaman ag ekspirensiya
Pababagsikon sanda sa pagtabing it paeaabuton
Ginaimpluwensiya nanda kon ano kabahoe ro ginapanamgu para kamonBendisyunan ro mga manunuro nga nahauna kamon
Bangod ro andang inubrahan hay iya pa hasta makaron
Ipasiga ro Inyong ehemplo sa tanan nga mga manunuro
Nga makatindog sanda sa andang mga hinambaean
Nga makahigugma sanda nga may panghunahuna
Nga makahueay sanda nga may paghigugma
Kabay pa.

I will not write my loneliest poem
Even I am between the heavens and the earth.
When you accepted my love at Boracay Beach
While the sun was setting is enough to make me smile.

I will not write my loneliest poem
Even I am between the heavens and the earth.
When you accepted my love at Boracay Beach
While the sun was setting is enough to make me smile.
I will not write my loneliest poem.
Like now when the moon is full and the December breeze is cold
Is enough for me to smile.
It was also December when we first kissed.
I will not write my loneliest poem
Even I can no longer pinch your face
Nor can I whisper your name.
It’s enough for me to sleep while I clinch the ring that you inserted on my finger.
And when time comes for the sun to set
And spreads its veil all over my world,
Still I will not write my loneliest poem.
When I remember you, I immediately smile.

Lil-Esper S. Duhina, an Extra-Ordinary Nurse
Lil-Esper S. Duhina, an Extra-Ordinary Nurse
Melcichon
September 3, 2012
“Good afternoon, everybody!” says a nurse holding a sphygmomanometer or blood pressure meter and a stethoscope.
“Good afternoon,” I answered her. “I am glad you came over. May I help you?” I asked her.
“Thanks,” she said. “Actually, I came here to extend our medical service to you and your library staff. I know you are all too busy to visit our medical clinic even just to have your blood pressure checked up. So I came over here.”
It reminded me of the old saying: “If Mohammed cannot go the mountain, let the mountain go to Mohammed .”
“Oh, how nice of you,” I said. “You are the first nurse I know who goes around to extend medical services to the college personnel.” My observation about her was also observed by my colleagues at St. Therese-MTC Colleges Library when I asked them of what they can say about this nurse.
This is Ms. Lil-Esper Sumergido Duhina of Pototan, Iloilo and presently the college nurse of St, Therese-MTC Colleges, La Fiesta Site, Molo, Iloilo City. Her name came from the combination of her mother’s name, Lira, and from the name of her father’s mother, Esperanza.
Days after that visit, she again came to our Library informing us that there were seminars on brain attack and on eyesight, and encouraged us to attend to these seminars. She said that the resource persons are all experts in their respective fields. Indeed they were. The resource person on eyesight was Dr. Julia Z. Villanueva, MD, of the Department of Health, Western Visayas, while the speaker on brain attack was Dr. Steven G. Baclaian, MD, FAFNI.
So I said to myself, I will write something about her. She deserves to be emulated.
That led me to ask her why she is doing all these things.
“I’m just doing my job as your college nurse.” And she added: smile “we (nurses) are blessings. She continued, “being a nurse is a gift, sir, and I don't want to waste that gift.”
That is right. Nurses are blessings. I wish all nurses are like her—concerned of the health of her fellowmen, and very approachable.
Ms. Duhina was born in Gharian, Libya. So was her brother, Jian Paolo.
She told me that her parents were then working in Libya where she was born. Her mother was a nurse then. Her father was an all around steward in a French company in Library.
While in Libya, Lil-Esper learned English with an Indian tutor because her mother did not want her to speak Arabic.
After five years of stay in Libya, her mother decided to bring Lil-Esper to Iloilo mainly for academic reason. Her brother was brought to the Philippines before he reached one year old.
She was enrolled at Colegio de las Hijas de Jesus, Iloilo City, It was also there where she finished her high school.
After graduation from high school, she enrolled at Central Philippine University (CPU), Iloilo City for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.|
Although a nursing degree was not her first choice, but because her parents wanted her to be a nurse instead of becoming a lawyer, she yielded to her parents' desire.
And eventually, she slowly loved the profession.

Although a nursing degree was not her first choice, but because her parents wanted her to be a nurse instead of becoming a lawyer, she yielded to her parents' desire.
And eventually, she slowly loved the profession.
It was in CPU where she learned the value of knowledge, attitudes and skills.
“Even if you are intelligent and skillful, but if you have unacceptable attitude, you are nothing,” she said. “These three things,” she continued, “must have equilibrium.”
And this philosophy has been his guiding principle in her professional life as a nurse.
She finished her BSN degree at Central Philippine University in 2008 and passed the nursing licensure board exam in the same year.
To improve her nursing skills, she volunteered as a nurse-trainee at the following hospitals St. Therese-MTCC Hospital, Iloilo Doctors Hospital and at Great Saviour International Hospital, all in Iloilo City from August 17, 2009 to November 28, 2011.
Before the end of her training at Great Saviour International Hospital, she had applied in one of the hospitals in Libya and at St. Therese-MTC Colleges as a nurse. She said that whoever will be the first to hire her as a nurse, that would be the place where she would work with.
And fortunately, it was the St. Therese-MTC Colleges that accepted her first. So, she set aside Libya. It was also a double blessings in disguise because had she been accepted by a Libyan hospital, she would have experienced the hardship of the recent war in that country.
And if she had been hired by the Libyan hospital, I could not have written this short profile.
