The Advent Philomels with Mr. Bart Poce Brondo
The Advent Philomels, one of MVC’s
long-standing choral groups, rendered a series of
sacred concerts in Adventist churches on three
successive Sabbaths. The series will culminate at
the MVC Alumni Church on August 8, 2015 during the Adventist Youth Program.
With the theme “All That Thrills My
Soul”, the AP’s repertoire includes classical, contemporary, negro spirituals, and old gospel songs.
The churches visited in the last two Sabbaths
were Kilangi SDA Church (a hiking distance from
MVC) on July 25, Iligan City Central Church on
July 31 (at Vespers), and on August 1 at Adventist
Medical Center College Campus Church (Sabbath
School), Rosario Heights Church (Hour of Worship), and Mindanao Mission Academy (AY Program). The program in MMA was a concert for a
cause with the participation of the different musical groups of the academy. MMA students, parents and brethren in neighboring churches were
present, so it was also an opportunity for the AP’s
to promote Mountain View College.
The Advent Philomels is currently directed by Maestro Bart Poce F. Brondo, one of
MVC’s faculty who teaches music & arts, as well
as piano and voice. He earned a master’s degree
in choral conducting from St. Paul University in
Manila. Mr. Brondo (Kuya Bart as fondly called by
members) is so far the longest-serving director of
the AP’s, having led the group for about twelve
years now.
The Advent Philomels (a philomel is a
singing bird) was established in 1978 as a witnessing chorale. Over the years, it has rendered
music ministry in several places and in various
occasions here and abroad. Presently the group
has 52 members, and is generously supported by
some faculty sponsors. The group will have its
Dedication Ceremony at the Oliverio Foundation
Hall after its sacred concert come Sabbath at
5:00 p.m. Anyone interested is invited to attend
the program.
Theme: FILIPINO ANG WIKA NG PAMBANSANG
KAUNLARAN
Ang ―Buwan ng Wika‖ ay isa sa mga
pangunahing pinagdiriwang sa lahat ng antas
ng paaralan sa buong bansa taon-taon, ito
man ay elementarya, sekondarya, o maging sa
kolehiyo. Ayon sa Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino
o KWF, ang tema ng selebrasyon ngayong taon
ay ―Filipino: Wika ng Pambansang Kaunlaran.‖
Ayon sa Memorandum #79 s. 2015 ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon (Department of Education), isa sa layunin ng pagdiriwang ngayong
taon ay ang maipakita ―ang kahalagahan ng
wika na higit pa sa pambansang kaunlaran.‖ Maaaring gamitin ng mga paaralan ang
mga sumusunod na sub-tema:
1) Filipino: Wika ng Kaunlarang Pangkultura
2) Filipino: Wika ng Kaunlarang Pangekonomiya
3) Filipino: Wika ng Kaunlarang Panglipunan
4) Filipino: Wika ng Kaunlarang Panteknolohiya
Gaya nang nabanggit noong isang
taon, ipinagdiriwang ang ―Buwan ng Wika‖ sa
pamamagitan ng pagsasagawa ng iba’t ibang
aktibidad ukol rito sa mga paaralan sa buong
bansa. Kabilang na dito ang mga patimpalak
gaya ng sabayang pagbigkas, dula-dulaan,
sayaw-awit o sayawit, at iba pa.
Ngunit, paano nga ba nagsimula ang
tradisyon ng pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika?
Ito ay sinimulan ni Pangulong Sergio Osmeña
noong 1946 nang kanyang ideklara ang Marso
27 hanggang Abril 2 ng bawat taon bilang
Linggo ng Wika.
Ayon sa Proklamasyon #35, ito ay
bilang papugay kay Francisco Baltazar, isa sa
pinaka-prominenteng manunulat na Filipino na
siyang may-akda ng Florante at
Laura at Orosman at Zafira. Siya ay pinanganak sa Bigaa, Bulacan (ngayo’y Balagtas, Bulacan na) noong Abril 2, 1788.
Nang siya ay maging pangulo, nilipat
ni Ramon Magsaysay sa Marso 29 hanggang
Abril 4 ang petsa ng pagdiriwang ng Linggo ng
Wika. Kalaunan, sa pamamagitan ng Proklamasyon #186 ay muling nilipat ni Magsaysay
ang petsa ng Linggo ng Wika. Ito ay nilagay na
sa Agosto 13 to 19 bilang pag-alala sa araw ng
kapanganakan ni Pangulong Manuel Quezon,
ang kinikilalang ―Ama ng Wikang Pambansa.‖
Ang dating ―Linggo ng Wika‖ kalaunan ay
naging ―Buwan ng Wika‖ ayon sa atas
ng Proklamasyon 1041 na nilagdaan ni Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos noong Hulyo 1997.

Editor’s Note
True Confession Time….Your considerable time consists mostly of…?
Dr. Edgar Lloren emphasized one of my Bible classes before
the types of prayer: Praise, intercession, Thanksgiving and telling God exactly what He should do. Which one is your specialty?
When something weighs heavy on our heart, of course we want to pour it out to God and even ―suggest‖ how He should handle it.
After all, prayer is communication with God –Divine communication, and by definition communication is a two-way conversation.
But, how often does our proper time include quiet listening? After we have given God our suggestions on how to handle a
situation, how often do we take time to be still and see if He has to say to us?
Giving God that quiet times will undoubtedly endeavor our relationship with God as we give Him a chance to speak to us. Only by listening
can we hear.
“The problem with some people who pray is that they say? “AMEN” and elude before God has a chance to respond.” -Catherine Velasquez-
