Article: (E-READS)
The eREAD (Electronic Repository of Related Educational Articles and
Documents) is a widely-used learning tool for facilitators to share different softcopy
handouts, which are usually in .pdf format, regarding several topics and issues that
are relevant to our country and as well to the NSTP. For our course matter, the
different eREADS are as follows:
1. Chapter 1: Role of the Youth in Nation-Building
- In this chapter, the title is almost self-explanatory, but to maximize the
idea, this eREAD is about what the youth like us can do to be a part of the
team that would bring change in our society by means of learning on how
to be a good citizen of our country. Filipino values were also discussed
such as pagkamaka-Diyos, pagkamaka-tao, pagkamaka-bayan, and
pagkamaka-kalikasan.
2. Chapter 2: A Christian Call and Thomasian Response
- This chapter tackles about deeper understanding about human dignity
and awareness and sensitivity to the ones who are in the peripheries and
The highlight of the seminar is about emphasizing our right to vote. This is a
right that no one can ever take away from us. Thus, vote-buying should not be
tolerated in all circumstances. In addition to this, the speakers had mentioned that
we should personally choose the leader that we think is indeed can be a true leader
in our nation and we should not let others choose for us or even pressure us on
choosing who to vote.
In conclusion, UNIK Seminar has taught its participants, particularly the
students, about how ones vote can greatly change the state of our society. Indeed,
we all should choose the leaders who we personally think are the effective and
dedicated ones and we should not let ourselves be influenced just because of its
popularity. Vote-wisely, Thomasians!
