acquisitions of books on architecture, engineering, and
technology starting with copyright year 2000 up to present. It
also has subscriptions to a number of local and foreign print
journals and three major newspapers namely: Philippine Star,
Philippine Daily Inquirer and Manila Bulletin. Online journals may
also be accessed at CEAT Library. Another unique feature of

DLSU-D celebrates 100 Years
De La Salle University-Dasmariñas joined the other
16 Lasallian schools in celebrating the 100 years of Lasallian
presence in the Philippines on June 16. Spearheaded by the
Jubilee Office, the DLSU-D centennial event started with a
Eucharistic Celebration and a simple opening program at
Ugnayang La Salle. Afterwhich, Lasallians enjoyed their lunch
with their bare hands in the boodle fight prepared for the
community. The food including rice and viands were spread
on long tables on top of banana leaves. The activity aims to
develop camaraderie among members of the academic
community. All librarians actively participated in the said
activities.
As a fitting tribute to the man behind the centennial
celebration, the most awaited comic book on the Life of St.
John Baptist de La Salle was finally launched at AEA on July 2.
“John” was written by Gerson Garcia of University Lasallian
Family Office while images were drawn by veteran illustrator
Louie Celerio. Garcia handed over 10 copies of comic book
to the library for circulation and preservation purposes.

AEA librarians continue to educate the academic
community on how they could maximize the use of online
subscriptions of the library. For the months of June and July, a
total of 1,021 students or 29 classes and 13 faculty members
from the Engineering Department availed of the Hands-On
Training (HOT) Program of the library. The program, which
was started last school year, aims to promote the online
resources of the library including electronic journals and
electronic books. The training includes step by step procedures
on how to use EBSCOhost, Emerald, Science Direct and Gale

In time with the opening of CEAT Library, an
in-house automated user’s statistics database was developed
and created by the Electronic Resource Services personnel
Victorino Loyola Jr. The database aims to count the number
of people entering the CEAT Library. It is stationed at the
entrance of the library so that the total number of users can be
recorded automatically through a log-in system. The database
is composed of two modules, the Users’ Login (entrance
computer unit) where users scan their ID and the Patron
Maintenance Module (Librarian’s computer unit) where Admin
Users can add new patron records and update or delete
existing ones. Furthermore, the system has the capability to
generate different types of library statistical reports such as:
Monthly Users by College, Monthly Users by Course, Daily
Users by College, and Daily Users by Course.
AEA was given a two-month free trial access by
EBSCOHost to its new products, EBSCOHost’s A-to-Z, the
industry’s most complete web-based tool for organizing and

Joaquin, N. (1979). Pop stories for groovy kids: the happiest boy in the world. Manila: Mr. & Ms. Publishing.
IRC 2821
The story identifies different human emotions and
situations experienced by the little boy named Carlos Principe
IV: sadness vs. happiness, wealth vs. poverty, isolation vs.
company, arrogance vs. humiliation, etc. The Little Prince, as
he is fondly called, was born with a golden spoon because he
was fortunate to have rich parents. His experiences are limited
to his lavish surroundings and his feelings are solely based
on contentment.
His apathetic attitudes ended
when he was one day
transformed into
a poor
6
boy. He experienced to be nobody, dirty, neglected, homeless,
ignored, and orphaned. Helpless over his plight, he gradually
began to see things quite clearly; to be a person is not just
pleasing oneself but to be responsible for others, too!
The author brings into the consciousness of the
readers the situation in the Philippine society; the majority of
the rich people who seemed to have a world of their own,
mindless of the poor. The greater majority of the Filipinos are
poor, subsisting below the poverty line, deprived of social
services and human rights due to them. The Little Prince, as
representative of the rich people, echoes its apathy to the
reality of the present times, the numerous children
roaming the streets exposed to the unhealthful conditions
detrimental to their young bodies and exposed to the
dangers of lurking immoralities.
The Little Prince experienced the twist of fate
similar to popular teleserye, “Gulong ng Palad,” because
from a privileged lad, he became underprivileged;
yet this led him to immersing himself into the
condition of the poor. The unexpected
happening broadened his view of his
surroundings and understanding of people. It
facilitated redirection of his values, clarified his
choices and verified his options. What the Little
Prince has undergone is a rare opportunity
for an individual at an earliest stage seemed
to be guided in processing his experience.
Indeed, “one sees clearly only with the heart,”
unless one undergoes an experience, his
understanding of life remains limited.
Experience teaches the minds and
moves the hearts toward noble action.

Reyes, J.J. (2005). Kasal, kasali, kasalo. Quezon City: Star Cinema, ABS-CBN Film Productions, Inc.
DVD 184
Metro Manila Film Festival winner “Kasal Kasali Kasalo”
is clearly a Filipino romantic comedy film. The director
astonishingly builds up high caliber story which unravels the
truth that marriage life isn’t a “happily ever after.” Most of the
scenes portrayed by each character in this film were
authentically patterned after a real-life situation. It is an
eye-opener film showing the adage that in a Filipino society,
one does not marry a beloved partner. One marries a family.
Possessing all the elements, this film won an award as
Best Picture of the festival plus Cultural Awards as it
highlights family values as well as the real complexities of
today’s marital relationship. The execution (cinematography,
direction, editing, etc.) is much better.
On a strictly entertainment level, the film even higher
includes realistic dialogues and a lifelike scenario presented in
a riotous-dramatic way.
What elevates this latest Jose Reyes film even higher
are the spectacular performances of the cast: Judy Ann Santos
(unbeatable in the festival’s Best Actress competition); Ryan
Agoncillo, a natural actor and a welcome new charismatic
leading man with great on-screen chemistry with real-life
fiancée (Santos); Gina Pareño (festival best supporting actress
shoo-in); Ariel Ureta; Gloria Diaz; and Tuesday Vargas.
Soliman Cruz, father of Judy Ann, whose role is very
short yet so powerful, turns the movie into a real-as-life
showcase of an uncivilized but alluring promdi
(provincial), a typical Pinoy father. The scene, during the
“pamanhikan,” traditional way of giving a courtesy call to
the girl’s parents to ask them for her hand in marriage,
perfectly depict the real paternal image. Over dinner,
conflict begun when the resident patriarch confidently
asks the visiting mom the no-no question.
Gloria Diaz, former Filipina Miss Universeturned-Urian-winning actress effectively executes her
scenes as a source of conflicts for the couple. And
now, in Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo, she is a seasoned
comedienne who doesn’t try hard but is
effective in her scenes. On the other hand, Gina
Pareño brings the character of the fishwife
mother, also comedic, and an inherent crowdpleaser to life. In fact the storyline centers on
the rivalry between two families tied
together with the vows of marriage. As
they bomb to each other, their absolute
differences will provide rockiness in the
life of the newly-wed young lovers.
June - July 2011
Juliana Palermo is a sexy and pretty woman who
commits an emotional affair with Ryan Agoncillo. Her
secondary character, particularly in her confrontation scene with
the combative Judy Ann, also brought great comedic relief to
the film. Her romantic distraction with the couple’s otherwise
blissful union adds solid emotion to each scene.
The film successfully delivers that marriage is one of
the most important Christian Sacraments. Thus, it directly
implied that young lovers should consider their emotional,
financial, spiritual and physical stability before entering into a
serious relationship. [Eden Fabella]

In celebration of the 100 Years of Lasallian Presence
in the Philippines, the Lasalliana Section of the Reference and
Information Services highly recommends the De La Salle
University Centennial Series launched last June 17. Here’s an
excerpt from the Introduction of the Centennial set by Dr.
Isagani R. Cruz, Executive Pub., Academic Publications Office
–De La Salle University.
“The De La Salle University Centennial Publication Series
represents some of the areas of learning that have made the
DLSU a center of excellence in teaching, research and
community ser vice – academic publishing, business,
economics, education, engineering, environment, gender
studies, health, history, information technology, linguistics,
literature, physical sciences, and theology. These publications
offer a good picture of the kind of work the university does
as a resource for both the Catholic Church and of the Filipino
nation.
The Centennial Set is a joint project of the Academic
Publications Office (APO) of the University and a consortium
of the leading publishers (Anvil, C & E Publishing, Central
Books Supply, Phoenix Pub., and Vibal Pub.) APO has in place
one of the most innovative scholarly publishing ventures in the
world–a system where the university solicits and approves
academic books and commercial publishers edit, design, print,
market and sell the books. This system blends and maximizes
the strengths of the university in producing knowledge while
the publishing industries act as disseminator of knowledge.”

enterprise when he started to teach underprivileged children in
France. His work was continued by the Brothers of the
Christian Schools in the whole world by touching the hearts
and teaching the minds of children. In Dasmariñas City, Cavite,
Br. Andrew Gonzales FSC saw the beginning of a great Lasallian
institution in Region IV where students from all over Cavite,
Laguna, Batangas, and Quezon will converge for a single
purpose of partaking St. La Salle’s great legacy – Christian
education.
Since 1987 to 2011, the De La Salle Brothers, under
the leadership of the different presidents, have toiled without
ceasing and have gradually shaped what De La Salle
University-Dasmariñas is today. The university, in her mission,
stands for the “integral formation of the youth by offering
relevant, responsive and community-related academic programs,
research and extension services, and promoting a keen sense
of history, arts and culture.” The identity of DLSU-D is
continually being realized by each academic leader of the
university by way of curriculum development, expansion of
infrastructure projects, creation of different offices all geared
towards quality instruction, and formation of everyone in its
domain, specifically the students. The university reaped various
achievements in all categories – CHED deregulation, PAASCU
accreditation, awards from the government and other
non-governmental units, high passing rates in board
examinations, etc.
The exhibit, entitled “SIBOL: the Emergence of
Lasallian Education in CALABARZON,” features all these
glories and grandeurs of De La Salle University-Dasmariñas as
an institution in Cavite that solely enjoys the title of being the
premiere university in Region IV-A. The exhibit design shows
