Featured Words of Wisdom
"All with a sense of purpose in life -- that destiny is the mandate of Heaven. Cultivating the heart is the highest duty because it has the greatest moral value." - Mencius.

This quote tells us to always follow our heart in whatever we do in life. Whether deciding on a career move, making a family judgement, or determining how to treat another person, we must train ourselves to listen to our heart, as it will lead us in the right direction.

Here at Novaliches High School Alumni On-line Community, we hope that you will follow your heart and attain great happiness in life! More power!!

This concludes another Update.

NHS DONATION SPECIAL UPDATE: (Author: Chona Villafuerte-Go)
"Received a lot of e-mails from members of our On-line Community even from those who were not able to graduate from NHS (reason of course was they moved or transferred to another school) pledging their support to help out NHS but many can't send their donations in time for this year's Recognition day. Again, Thank YOU so much!! A lot of them also asked for additional information or what our school needs to improve upon or make donations to and so I have asked our current NHS Administration & also our Guidance Personnel to inform us of their on-going projects or current needs so we can help them out. (Currently, I'm waiting for other e-mail from NHS Administration and i'll be posting them here also.)
Special thanks to Mr. Gilore E. Ofrancia for his immediate response and the following are some answers to our questions regarding making a donation to NHS. FYI Mr. Gilore E. Ofrancia is our current NHS Guidance personnel."

Special Thanks to Mike Bote Batch 1999, Norman A. Garcia Batch 1993 & Edward Logan Batch 1993 for sending their donations to NHS Recognition Day. The money they have donated will be used as cash prizes to all 19 NHS honor students for Graduating Class of 2005. Thank YOU Mike, Norman & Edward for lending a helping hand...We'll join you soon!

To begin with, here are some of my ideas (my own opinion): 1. Amend the Constitution specifically on the following: a. make the legislature an unicameral body; b. the form of government from presidential to parliamentary where the head of government is the prime minister. 2.

Five tips for raising charitable kids (Author: Aristedes Extra)
Aristedes Extra wrote: "It's important to talk with children about making giving a habit rather than an isolated holiday activity. By making it an ongoing habit, even if only in small ways, you are moving from a model of giving in order to receive to a compassionate way of life that they will carry with them."
