The Teachers That God Really Exists

Since the early days of the Roman Catholic Church, nuns have stood as living proof of faith, discipline, and devotion. These women became real-life wonder women—mysterious, resilient, and unwavering in their mission. From the moment they dedicated their lives to God, they embodied strength and purpose, guiding generations of children while standing tall as symbols of holiness and authority.

There’s something about nuns that has always fascinated—and sometimes terrified—people. Their holiness combined with strict authority creates a tension that horror movies often explore. But the fear isn’t just fiction—it comes from real history.

In the early 1900s, nuns were not only spiritual guides—they were strict teachers, running classrooms with discipline and order. A forgotten lesson, a misstep, or a broken rule could invite a stern look or sharp reprimand. Children learned quickly that obedience was as important as learning itself, and fear was a natural part of that education.

Even decades later, discipline remained strict. In the 1990s, teachers still used sticks or canes to correct students who didn’t complete assignments. By the 2000s, some high school teachers were known to hit or even punch students who disobeyed rules. Grandparents often recall these experiences with a mix of awe and dread, remembering how even small mistakes could carry serious consequences.

It’s important to note that the times shaped the mindset of teachers and nuns. Social norms, cultural expectations, and the values of each era influenced how authority was exercised. Strict discipline was often seen as necessary for teaching respect, morality, and diligence—not simply cruelty.

Horror movies tap into these historical memories, turning the strict authority of nuns into supernatural terror. On screen, nuns are figures of mystery, power, and untouchable holiness. They are respected, feared, and unforgettable.

Ultimately, the fear of nuns in horror films reflects the real fear children once felt under strict teachers, shaped by history and the enduring presence of women who dedicated their lives to faith and education. These nuns, born from the Roman Catholic tradition, continue to stand tall as symbols of devotion, resilience, and the profound impact of faith in action.

Nonrepu At Nonrepudiation, "Bakit Importante ang Tamang Pagkakarinig"

🏫 Historical Insight, Lessons from Spanish Colonial Education

Balikan natin ang panahon ng mga estudyante noong Spanish colonization sa Pilipinas. Noon, malaking hamon ang edukasyon: limitado ang access sa aklat, maraming leksyon ang nakasulat sa Kastila o Latin, at sobrang halaga ng diction o tamang pagpili ng salita sa bawat sulat. Ang mga estudyante ay kailangang maging mabusisi sa pag-jot down ng mga sinabi ng guro, dahil maling salita lang ay puwedeng magdulot ng maling interpretasyon.

Sa mundo ng Information Systems at Cybersecurity, may mga terms na halos magkapareho ang tunog pero magkaibang-magkaiba ang ibig sabihin. Dalawa sa mga ito ay Non-Reputable at Non-Repudiation. Mahalaga na malinaw ang pagkakaintindi/pagkakarinig sa dalawang terms na ito, lalo na kung nagbubuo ka ng solid na contingency plan para protektahan ang systems at data ng organisasyon mo.

🔍 Non-Reputable: Ano Ito?

Kapag sinabing Non-Reputable, ibig sabihin ay hindi mapagkakatiwalaan o walang sapat na proof para ma-verify ang source. Halimbawa:

Files na galing sa unknown websites.

Emails na walang authentication.

Devices o users na hindi pa validated.

Sa madaling salita, "non-reputable" = hindi verified, pwedeng maging threat.

🔐 Non-Repudiation: Ano Ito?

Non-Repudiation naman ay tungkol sa pagkakaroon ng proof o evidence na hindi maitatanggi. Kasama dito ang:

Audit trails

Logs ng mga activities

Digital signatures at timestamps

Dahil dito, hindi na pwedeng sabihing "hindi ako gumawa niyan" dahil may cryptographic proof na nagsasabing ikaw ang gumawa ng action na iyon.

📚 Bakit Mahalaga ang Pagkakaintindi sa Dalawang Terms na Ito

Kapag mali ang pagkakaintindi sa "Non-Reputable" at "Non-Repudiation," mahirap gumawa ng effective na contingency plan. Narito kung bakit:

Risk Identification – Kailangan mong alam kung alin ang hindi mapagkakatiwalaan (non-reputable) para mas madali silang i-flag o i-block.

Accountability – Sa pamamagitan ng non-repudiation, masisiguro mo na lahat ng actions ay may record at may responsible party.

Better Security Layers – Ang tamang distinction ng dalawang terms ay nakakatulong gumawa ng mas malinaw na proseso at policies.

Efficient Incident Response – Kung mayroong breach, madali mong matutukoy kung saan nagsimula at sino ang gumawa.



Kung ikukumpara sa modernong cybersecurity, parang ganito rin ang halaga ng tamang terminolohiya. Ang malinaw na pagkaintindi sa "Non-Reputable" at "Non-Repudiation" ay parang masusing pagsusulat noon — isang maliit na pagkakamali ay maaaring magdulot ng malaking epekto.


Ang Contingency Planning ay tungkol sa paghahanda para sa mga worst-case scenarios. Kung malinaw ang pagkakaintindi mo sa "Non-Reputable" at "Non-Repudiation":

Mas madali kang makakapag-identify ng potential risks bago pa sila lumala.

Magiging mas maayos ang incident response dahil may tamang audit trails at records.

Makakagawa ka ng actionable plans para protektahan ang data at systems laban sa internal at external threats.

Sa madaling salita, ang tamang paggamit at pag-unawa sa dalawang terms na ito ay foundation ng isang solid, reliable, at secure contingency plan — isang aral na kasinghalaga ng pagiging masinop sa pagsusulat ng mga estudyante sa ilalim ng Spanish era education system.

The Silent Sentinels: The Enduring Power of the Custodian
Here in Quezon City, just like across the globe, we often walk past them without a second glance. The figure diligently cleaning the hallways of our schools, the meticulous guard securing a bank vault, or the careful hands preserving precious historical documents. These are the custodians, and while their roles may seem disparate, they share a common thread woven through centuries: the enduring power of guardianship.

Join us as we journey through time, uncovering the profound significance of those entrusted with the care of what matters most, and discovering the vital skills that make them the unsung heroes of our world.

From Ancient Scrolls to Imperial Guardians: Power in Protection
Imagine a world before printing presses, before digital archives. In ancient libraries, the custodians of knowledge were revered. Monks hunched over fragile scrolls, their meticulous hands not just organizing, but preserving the very fabric of human thought. Their power wasn't in brute force, but in their control over information, their ability to decide what survived and what was lost to the sands of time. A single misstep, a moment of neglect, could erase centuries of wisdom. Their skill was one of deep respect for intellectual heritage and unwavering dedication.

Fast forward to the fantastical realm of Warhammer 40,000, and we encounter the ultimate custodians: the Adeptus Custodes. These towering, golden warriors are more than just bodyguards; they are the living bulwark against chaos, the personal protectors of the Emperor himself. Their power is undeniable – genetically engineered perfection, unparalleled combat prowess, and an unshakeable will. But their true power lies in their absolute, unquestioning loyalty and their mastery of countless combat forms, ensuring the very survival of humanity's leader. While fictional, they embody the historical ideal of a custodian whose very existence is dedicated to guarding something of immeasurable value.

The Modern Custodian: Quiet Authority in a Complex World
Today, the title of "custodian" might conjure images of mops and brooms, and while that vital role remains, the essence of custodianship has simply evolved, becoming more specialized and legally defined. The power, however, is no less real.

Think about the custodian bank that safeguards your investments. Here in Metro Manila, countless financial institutions act as silent guardians of our collective wealth. They don't make the market predictions, but their meticulous record-keeping, secure vaults, and rigorous compliance are the bedrock upon which our financial stability rests. Their power lies in their absolute reliability, their transparency, and their unwavering commitment to protecting assets from fraud, error, and disaster. The skills required? Unimpeachable integrity, an eagle eye for detail, and an in-depth understanding of complex financial regulations.

Then there's the unsung hero of our everyday lives: the school custodian right here in Quezon City. While they may not guard ancient texts or galactic emperors, their role is equally critical. They ensure our children learn in a clean, safe, and functional environment. A leaky roof, a broken window, or an unhygienic classroom can directly impact a child's ability to learn and thrive. Their power is the power of creating an optimal learning space, their skills are practical problem-solving, preventative maintenance, and a deep sense of responsibility for the well-being of the school community.

And what about the legal custodian appointed to manage a minor's inheritance? Their power is immense – guiding financial decisions, ensuring responsible growth, and ultimately shaping a young person's future. Their skills demand not just financial acumen, but profound ethical judgment and a compassionate understanding of their ward's best interests.

The Enduring Skillset of Guardianship
What ties these diverse custodians together, from ancient scholars to modern financial experts, and the dedicated staff keeping our Quezon City schools pristine? It's a unique and invaluable set of skills:

Integrity and Trustworthiness: At the core of all custodianship is an absolute commitment to honesty and reliability.

Meticulous Attention to Detail: Whether it's a financial ledger, a historical artifact, or the cleanliness of a floor, precision is paramount.

Responsibility and Accountability: Understanding the weight of what they protect and taking ownership of their duties.

Problem-Solving: Identifying issues and implementing effective solutions, from a broken pipe to a complex legal challenge.

Foresight and Planning: Anticipating potential threats or needs and preparing accordingly.

Specialized Knowledge: From historical preservation techniques to advanced financial regulations or building maintenance, specific expertise is crucial.

So, the next time you see a custodian at work, whether it's the security guard at your bank, the maintenance staff at your office, or the diligent cleaner at your local park in Quezon City, take a moment to appreciate the silent power they wield. They are the guardians of our safety, our resources, our heritage, and our future. Their skills, often overlooked, are the very foundation upon which much of our organized society is built.

Electric Youth

Yung contingency plan mo, dapat parang libro ni Rizal, researched, credible, at kayang magbago ng future.

Late 1800s.
Si batang José Rizal, nakaupo sa isang madilim-dilim na study hall, nakayuko sa sangkaterbang libro at notes. Puyat kung puyat, pero todo-research sa bawat pahina ng kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Kinakausap niya ang mga matatanda, nagbubuklat ng mga lumang archives, inoobserve ang flaws ng lipunan, at pinagdudugtong-dugtong ang kwento ng isang bansang sakop ng kolonyalismo.

Ngayon, imagine mo yung kaklase niya na parang multo sa eskwela. 😂
Hindi pumapasok, walang pake sa discussions, never nagbukas ng libro… tapos bigla nalang naglabas ng “history book” tungkol sa batch nila—kunwari alam lahat at representative siya ng lahat.

Saan ka mas maniniwala?

Eto yung eksaktong dahilan bakit data gathering ang puso ng bawat matibay na contingency plan—at bakit sobrang importante rin kung sino ang gumawa ng planang ‘yon.

Data Gathering: Ang Plano Dapat May Resibo

Ang contingency plan, ganun lang katibay base sa data na pinanghahawakan niya. Kung wala kang matibay na data, chamba lang ‘yan—parang papel na walang silbi kapag dumating ang sakuna.

Yung talino ni Rizal hindi lang sa pagsusulat, kundi sa masinsinang research. Mabigat yung libro niya kasi grounded sa katotohanan, obserbasyon, at analysis. Pinagtipon niya ang kwento ng mga tao, karanasan, at facts bago pa siya nagsimulang magsulat.

Sa mundo ng contingency planning, ganito dapat ang vibes:

Kumuha ng accurate risk assessments

Gumawa ng mapa ng vulnerabilities base sa totoong numero, hindi hula-hula

Intindihin ang mga pagkakamali ng nakaraan para maiwasan sa hinaharap

Kung wala ‘to, yung “backup plan” mo parang tsismis lang—madaling mabasag.

Bakit Importante Kung Sino ang Sumulat

Kahit sino kayang gumawa ng plano, pero hindi lahat kaya gumawa ng planong mapagkakatiwalaan.
Kung yung kaklase ni Rizal na ‘di nag-aaral sumulat ng history ng batch nila, malamang puno ng mali, walang context, at sobrang delikado ang assumptions.

Ganito rin sa totoong buhay: pag walang research, yung planang sinusunod mo pwedeng magdala ng mas malaking gulo.

Yung credibility ng contingency plan nakasalalay sa:

Lalim ng research ng gumawa

Galing niya sa pag-analyze at pag-synthesize ng data

Totoong understanding niya sa risks at galaw ng tao

Ang planong gawa ng tamad na author? Parang parachute na tinahi ng taong ‘di pa nakakita ng skydiver—delikado ‘yan, bes.

The Real Talk: Walang Shortcuts

Data gathering, hindi ito flashy. Hindi ito pang-IG aesthetic. Ito yung mga puyat nights, spreadsheets na parang walang katapusan, at endless tanong para ma-validate lahat. Mabagal, detalyado, pero ganun din ang proseso ni Rizal.

Pero ito rin ang dahilan bakit ang contingency plan ay trustworthy at powerful.

Pag dumating ang bagyo, wala ka nang oras magtanong kung accurate ba yung plano mo.
Either makakalusot ka or lulubog ka base sa effort na nilagay mo bago ang crisis.

Kaya next time na may mag-abot sayo ng “plan,” tanungin mo:

Saan galing ‘tong data?

Sino gumawa nito?

Mapagkakatiwalaan ko ba ito para sa buhay, negosyo, at mga tao ko?

In the end, yung libro ni Rizal naging haligi ng ating kasaysayan kasi isinulat ito nang may katotohanan at purpose.
Yung libro nung imaginary classmate niya? Malamang kinain na ng alikabok sa lumang shelf—kasi wala naman itong ugat sa realidad.

Bakit Importante ang Contingency Planning "Para Laging Ready sa Anumang Sablay"

Sa panahon ngayon na sobrang bilis ng galaw at daming ganap, hindi na bago yung mga biglang aberya—pwedeng bagyo, cyber attack, power outage, o kahit simpleng system crash. Kaya kung may negosyo ka, org, o kahit personal goals, dapat handa ka palagi. Dito papasok ang contingency planning.

Ano nga ba ang Contingency Planning?

Simple lang: ito yung backup plan ng buhay at negosyo mo. Para kang may Plan B, C, or Z sakaling pumalpak ang Plan A. Hindi lang ito basta panic mode kapag may nangyaring unexpected. May sistema at hakbang kang nakalatag para mabawasan ang damage, maibalik agad ang order, at hindi mawala sa momentum.

Bakit Kailangan Ito?
1. Less Hassle, Less Loss

Kung may biglang nangyaring aberya, hindi ka titigil o matataranta. May ready ka nang moves para i-keep running yung operations mo. Mas konti downtime, mas konti lugi.

2. Pakita ng Professionalism

Pag alam ng clients or customers mo na laging ready ka, mas tumataas tiwala nila sayo. Kahit may bagyo or system crash, kaya mong harapin with confidence.

3. Iwas Panic Mode

Pag may nangyaring masama, normal na ma-stress. Pero kung may plano ka na, hindi ka basta-basta mapapraning. Clear yung steps kaya mabilis makapag-decide.

4. Pasok sa Safety at Rules

Maraming industry may required na backup plans para safe ang lahat. Hindi lang ito para sumunod sa batas, kundi para protektahan yung mga tao at assets mo.

5. Confidence to Grow

Kung alam mong kahit anong mangyari may back-up ka, mas kampante ka mag-innovate, mag-invest, at mag-level up ng walang takot.

Essentials ng Solid na Contingency Plan

Risk Check: Alamin yung possible threats at alin ang pinaka-delikado.

Game Plan: May steps na dapat gawin per scenario.

Ready Resources: Siguraduhing may gamit, tao, at tools on standby.

Comm Plan: Klaro kung paano ikakalat ang info pag may crisis.

Practice Makes Perfect: Regular i-update at i-test yung plan mo.

Real Talk Conclusion

Contingency planning ay hindi lang pang-“just in case”—ito ay power move. Kung ready ka sa lahat ng biglaan, mas kaya mong lumaban at mag-survive sa kahit anong hamon. Sa mundong puno ng surprises, pagiging handa ang tunay na flex.
