Municipality of Los Baños is a 1st class municipality in the province of Laguna, Philippines. Los Baños has been proclaimed by Presidential Proclamation No. 349 as the Special Science and Nature City of the Philippines. Los Baños is a well-known tourist destination, not only for its importance in academics, science and research. Due to the proximity of the town to Metro Manila, the hot spring resorts of Los Baños are frequent weekend or summer getaways for residents of the vast metropolis and tourists from other places in the Philippines and abroad.
University life can be stressful for students. They go under a lot of pressure just to pass their requirements on time, get passing scores in their quizzes and exams alongside their personal duties. It can be hard as sometimes these activities come simultaneously. However, stressful it might be, we should still be able to cope up with all of it and enjoy our university life. Here are some ways on how to chill:
Take a brief walk Taking a brief walk can take your mind out of things. Personally, when I feel drained after finishing my classes, instead of riding a jeepney, I walk home. I also take a rest and sit at the freedom Park to clear my mind. Therefore, I’m thankful for our university’s rich vegetation.
Read Reading personally relives my stress. Put away Acads related readings and read whatever literary work you like. Just enjoy the journey. No note taking and highlighting. Just letting the piece take you to places, feel mixed emotions, and temporarily disconnects you from this stressful world.
Listen to Soothing Music It is said that music has a calming effect, so, when stressed I listen to music. I like to listen to piano instrumentals may it be classical compositions or just a cover of any song. It is also said that soft music lets you meditate and think about things. However, listening to any music genre you prefer, not necessarily “soft music,” is also good.
Spend time with friends and family. Spending time with family and friends is very helpful in relieving stress. You get to confide with them and share whatever you are going through, may it be good or bad. Knowing that there are people who got your back is also motivating.
Sleep Exams, quizzes, requirements, and readings do give us sleepless nights. So, personally, when I get the chance to rest and get a good sleep, I grab it. I take a rest and get ready for a new set of activities to finish.
As the 18th Banamos
Festival comes to a start, we were able to interview Jonathan Natividad, the
tourism officer-in-charge and coordinator of the Bailamos event, and ask him
some questions regarding the management and development of the festival itself.
Ano yung mga responsibilidad na nakasalalay sa inyo?
As a tourism officer in charge,
tourism talaga yung may hawak sa monetary evaluation and correction, kasi hindi
porket kami yung sa tourism kami yung lahat humahawak. Kada event meron kaming
committee chairman. For example, sa Mr. and Ms. Los Banos. Ang in charge sa
kaniya is si Ms. Karen Lagat-Mercado
na head ng Gender and Development office, and then, sa Balye sa Kalye, ang in
charge naman siya kay Family department kay Maam Twilya. Kada event may mga
corresponding na chairman, pero sinusupervise parin namin sila. Pero me
particularly, although in charge ako sa lahat, sa Bailamos ako talaga yung pinili
ni mayor kasi it’s a dance contest. So hindi lang buong effort ng Tourism
office, effort ng buong munisipyo talaga ng dangal Los Banos. Siyempre, headed
by our honorable mayor Caesar P. Perez.
Ano yung mga problemang inyong hinaharap?
This year, kung ano yung mga
nangyari nung past years ay mangyayari ulit ngayon, pero we will make sure
naman na may bago. For example, yung mga singing contests namin ,yung mga dance
contests namin, hindi lang siya yung basta competition. Parang, icinoconnect
parin ito sa thema namin sa founding anniversary namin na ‘Tagumpay ng Bayan ay Matatamasa ng
Mamamayang Nagkakaisa’. So yung unity dapat nandun. And then, in connection
with that, yung mga singers namin they will have this big production number. Na
parang aside from their place during the competition itself meron silang parang
performance na sama sama sila lahat. So maipapakita nila na although they’re
magkakalaban nandun sila sa isang layunin na magbigay ligaya at maishowcase
kung ano yung meron ang mga talento dito sa bayan ng Los Banos.
This year, meron kaming search for
Palengke Queen, at Toda Queen. Gusto kasi ng Mayor na hindi lang concentrated
yung Banamos festival sa mga estudyante, dun sa mga dalag at binata. Gusto niya
lahat ng residente ng bayan ng Los Banos ay makaparticipate. So, yung Palengke
Queen is yung mga tindera sa palengke natin, particularly sa Poblacion saka
dito sa Batong Malake public market, ayun kasi yung dalawang, pangunahing
palengke dito sa bayan ng Los Banos. Yung mga tinderang babae dun, sila yung
magpaparticipate sa search for Palengke Queen. At sa Toda King naman, is mga
tricycle divers.
Ano-ano yung mga inaasahang maganap dahil sa mga bagong aktibidades na
inyong sinama sa Banamos 2019?
Masmalaki yung market ngayon talaga
na inaano ng Banamos, na before nasanay lang sila sa mga singing contests,
dance contests, yung pageant ng most awaited na Mr. and Ms. LB. Ayun yung
dinagdag natin, ‘Search for the Palengke Queen and Toda King’. At syempre,
layunin talaga nito is yung mga activites na makiapagbigay kaligayahan, tas
yung mga experience baga, maipakita talaga natin ng mga mamayanan ng Los Banos
na may talento silang tinatago, na matatalino sila, ganun.
Meron din kami kaieskwela. Parang,
kanta, awit, sayaw na papasigla sa mga eskwela. Ang magpaparticipate naman dun
is yung mga estudyante. Mga estudyante dito sa bayan ng Poblacion elementary,
highschool, ganun. Pati mga teachers nila mag peperform. So, ang Banamos
festival ay para sa lahat.
