As part of the Supreme Pupil Government’s (SPG) project, a giftgiving for selected pupils in the school were gathered on December 14, 2022 at the school’s covered court. This activity was headed by the SPG president, Joshua Mathew U. Basa of Grade 6– Jose P. Rizal.
The 88 beneficiaries from Grades One to Six received donated canned foods, noodles, coffee, milk, biscuits, bread, soap, shampoo, detergent, toothbrush and toothpaste which were collected by SPG officers from able pupils’ families. The SPG advisers, Mr. Richard F. Daproza and Ms. Antoinette V. Mendoza initiated the said project. Through the help and support of our principal, Dr.. Eufelia L. Corales, Araling Panlipunan (AP) coordinator, Mr. Gabriel Abadilla, AP teachers, and grade level chairmen, the said activity was successful.
This annual activity aims to help the needy by making their Christmas celebration somehow be filled with love and joy through this noble gesture, and instill the spirit of generosity.
(Joshua Mathew U. Basa ) Grade 6 Jose P. RizalThe representative of the East District composed of 50 pupils from different sections in Grades 5 and 6 of Gen. T. De Leon Elementary School won 2nd place in Galaw Pilipinas competition held on February 6, 2023 held at the GTDLES ground.
The success was the joint effort of the trainers and also MAPEH teachers Mr. Ricardo Obillo, Mr. Aldin Gimeno,
Mrs. Joan Kristine Carnesil and Mrs. Amelyn Regalario. The program was attended by Mr. Alfredo Galicia and others two judges and the school head Mrs. Eufelia L. Corales and teachers, parents and pupils are their to witness the talented dancers. They are all prepared with costumes and dance gracefully. The viewers were amazed with their outstanding performance.
In an effort to enhance the safety preparedness of the school community, the School Disaster Risks Reduction and Management Council (SDRRMC), in collaboration with the Bureau of Fire Protection Gen. T. De Leon Sub Fire Station, conducted an enlightening Fire Safety Seminar last May 26, 2023. The seminar was specifically tailored for Grade 6 pupils and teachers, aiming to equip them with crucial fire safety knowledge and life-saving skills.
The first part of the program focused on Safety Fire Seminar. Knowledgeable fire safety expert, FO2 Diana Agustin, from the Bureau of
Fire Protection-Gen. T. De Leon Sub Fire Station presented valuable information about fire prevention, emergency response procedures, and evacuation techniques. She stressed the importance of early detection, safe evacuation, and raising awareness among individuals to minimize the risks associated with fires.
Following the informative session, the second part of the seminar involved a hands-on simulation on the proper usage of fire extinguishers. Selected teachers and pupils were given the opportunity to demonstrate their newly acquired skills.
Under the close supervision of the fire safety experts, FO2 Aujay Mijares and FO2 Mark Mallari, participants were guided through the correct procedures for handling fire extinguishers and extinguishing small fires effectively.
"Educational institutions have a responsibility to prioritize the safety and well-being of their students and staff. By conducting initiatives like this fire safety seminar, we are taking proactive measures to ensure the security of our schoolcommunity.”
On April 25, 2023, personnels from the Division Office visited the school’s garden as part of the school’s Gulayan sa Paaralan monitoring. Dr. Eufelia Corales, the school principal, Mrs. Marites V. Padilla, the school’s assistant to the principal and Mr. Felijim Gregorio, the Gulayan sa Paaralan’s coordinator, accompanied the visitors to see the school’s garden which is situated beside Gate 3, at the back of Building 7. The garden was filled with different vegetables like sitaw, patola, and petchay which were ready for harvest.
The redevelopment of the school garden was tough because it needed to be cleaned and re planted with different seeds after the outburst of the pandemic. Many of the vegetables planted before withered and died. They planted new seeds and put the old plant on new containers which were donated by Grade 3 pupils. Through the collaborative effort of Mr. Gregorio, Mrs. Carmela Regir, the Grade 3 chairman, and Grade 6 pupils from sections Emilio Aguinaldo and Andres Bonifacio, the garden relived.
School gardening is a fantastic way to transition from a more traditional classroom to an outdoor learning. Students can physically connect with nutrition education, understand the process of growing healthy foods, and recognize environmental stewardship. A school garden can also be integrated into many subjects such as Math, Science and Health, Literacy and Social Studies. Positive feedback was given to our Gulayan sa Paaralan from the visitors.
Arts is a way of communication. One may express his/her thoughts and feelings through arts. Every year, the Department of Education conducts the National Arts Month as a way of fostering the talents of the Filipinos and providing avenues for artists to channel their creative side.
This year, the National Arts Month was conducted through faceto-face in most public schools while some performed the activities through online setting. The theme of this month-long celebration was “Ani ng Sining, Bunga ng Galing”.
In Gen. T. De Leon Elementary School, the Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health (MAPEH) Department launched this activity on February 1 and concluded on the 3rd week of March 2023. The Arts Month Celebration included these various contests: poem recitation, singing, poster making, slogan making, ceramic painting, Tik Tok Dance Challenge, and parade of recycled costume. These activities were participated by all the grade levels including Kinder and Special Education (SPED) class.

When the government announced that they will be phasing out a lot of people got upset and angry. It spread out in news and the main topic in social media, the common question Why? Because it is part of our culture and the main use for transportation, its cheaper price for decades many people could afford to ride on it. It's not right they should still consider the people at the bottom of the society.Why phase them out, why not the government help the drivers
to improve the jeeps or if it is usable and new just retain it. Many drivers will lose their jobs. It’s very expensive to buy a new one because their daily income can’t afford to buy the modern one. Prices could go higher since they are modernized. Maybe for them to understand the government educated or enlightened the drivers about the positive effect of this.
The program puts emphasis on the reliability, safety, accessibility, environmental soundness, and comfort of a public utility vehicle (PUV). Under the public utility vehicle modernization program (PUVMP), brand-new and

‘environmentally friendly units’ will be promoted and given priority in the allocation of Certificates of Public Convenience (CPC), which is what PUVs need to be allowed to operate on public roads. The Department Order (DO) specifies environmentally friendly vehicles as those that use an electric motor or are powered by engines that are Euro IVcompliant or better. It also standardizes the required sizes and specifications for PUVs. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has also specified an age limit for each PUV type, which is also one of the main causes of the phaseout. The age limit for
jeeps and buses is 15. If you know what the usual traditional jeepneys look like, then you know several Public Utility Jeepneys(PUJ) units plying our roads are already old. While old PUVs may be refurbished or rebuilt, they must pass a type approval system test and acquire a Certificate of Compliance with Emission Standards before they can undergo roadworthiness tests under the Land Transportation Office’s (LTO) Motor Vehicle Inspection System for registration renewal. Refurbished or rebuilt PUBs, however, will not be allowed to substitute for phased-out units.

School is considered our second home because this is where we stay for most of the hours of the day. We learn a lot of things in school with the guidance of our second parents–our teachers. This is also a place where we meet our friends and playmates.
In General Tiburcio De Leon Elementary School (GTDLES), learning is indeed fun because teachers impart their knowledge in such a way that it catches the attention of the learners. Learning has never been boring because they let us feel that we enjoy while we are studying. GTDLES is one of the
large schools in Valenzuela City with 120 teachers. It is spearheaded by our current principal, Dr. Eufelia L. Corales. Our teachers help us develop our skills in every core area we have; but we also discover our talents such as singing, dancing, sports and even playing some musical instruments.
Our school also excels both in academic and nonacademic contests. For academic contests, we have quiz bees such as in English, Mathematics, Araling Panlipunan, Filipino, and Science while for non-academic, we have scouting activities for boys and girls, arnis, soccer, badminton,
basketball, lawn tennis, table tennis, and chess. We also have some activities for musically inclined students such as in the Glee Club, Drums and Lyre Club and Ukulele Club.
As a pupil in GTDLES, it is one of our duties to take care of the school properties and surroundings. Let us be vigilant when it comes to vandalism. Let us work together to clean the surroundings of the school. If you see any mess, volunteer to pick it up and throw it in the trash bin. If we take good care of our school, we will also be the ones to benefit from it. Our health will be at safe, visitors who will come will surely appre-
ciate the cleanliness of the surroundings, and most importantly, as a Gentinian, let us be mindful of our behaviour inside and outside the school grounds. Our behaviour is the reflection of our parent’s upbringing to us. Let the learning that we reap from our school be manifested in our words and deed because after all, learning does not only mean the academic aspect, but most importantly, it means the honing of our character. Our education would be useless without our character. Let us make our Alma Mater be proud of us.

Can you beat the heat?
This is everyone’s question especially because of the current schedule this school year. Many pupils, parents and even teachers are asking if we will have the same school calendar for the next academic year.
School year 2022-2023 has been challenging to most of us because it began in August 2022 and will end in July 2023. In our country, summer begins late March to early June. “Officially” however, it is April and May. April being the hottest and most unbearable.
This month, a New Revised Schedule was implemented by the Division of Valenzuela where the AM session will come to school at 6:00 AM to 10:30 AM while the PM session will come at 2:00 PM and will be dismissed at 7:00 PM. This is one way of helping the pupils not be exposed to the extreme heat.
Parents are calling the authorities to bring back the old school calendar this coming school year for the benefit and comfort of all. The Department of Education (DepEd) is currently looking for solutions on this matter. The main objective of
the department is to continue the learning process despite the hard times that everyone is experiencing now.
As pupils, we also have to do our part to lessen the burden. Since it is dry season, let us not forget to bring plenty of water, an extra shirt or towel, and an umbrella for our safety when going to school.
It is everyone’s responsibility to help one another to solve an issue like this and let us not all depend on DepEd. We also have a role to play.

(Keil Glaiden N. Galit) Grade 4Criticism, complaining, and negative comments are discouraging and often results on misbehavior. But encouragement, optimism, and positive strokes are to kids as fertilizers are to plants. It’s the stuff that really makes them flourish. Each child needs continuous encouragement just as plant needs water.
Behavior that gets your attention is rewarded and reinforced. It’s easy to notice the misbehavior, but if you want easy obedience you must be careful not to reward that behavior with undue attention instead, why not reward the positive? Catch your children in the act of being good. The lack of positive attention can cause tremendous behavior problems in children. Children are born with different characteristics that make them either easy or difficult to live with. But regardless of their innate characteristics all children need positive attention. They need to feel special. They need to hear compliments
and receive recognition. Problem child needs and craves attention, and so choose another area in which to excel often opting for the rebel. This child would rather have negative attention than little or none. Chances are this need for attention. How can you modify the behavior of a child who needs attention?
Here are some ideas:
1. Make sure that you notice a lot of more positive things and share more of positive recognition. Reward for little bits of compliance.
2. Make fun and easy for children to obey. Don’t ask him to do things when you know he will resist.
3. Be firm on the limits
By: Jhana Assunta A. Malto Grade 3 Diamondthat are absolutely essential. Don’t accept disrespectful, but don’t give him a lot of negative attention. Tell the mistakes in a nice way.
Remember, a positive stroke doesn’t always to be given in word. Smile, wink, ruffle their hair and children will get the message that you’re tuned in to them and you will be filling their love cups. It can be quite a challenge, but it I worth it.
Children deserve a more motivated parent and could use more of a positive attention, children could also be in a more positive way.

It was rainy day, and the young boy named Ezra wanted to play in the pouring rain. But his mother doesn't allow him to play in the rain. “Why mother?” asked Ezra. “Because playing in the rain is not safe. You might get sick.” replied mother. Hearing those words didn't stop Ezra from wanting him to play in the rain.
He ran in the door, slowly opened it and came out. He stands
under the rain and gets wet. His mother has no choice but to let him enjoy playing in the rain. And the night came. Ezra was shaking. He has a high fever. His mother immediately got his medicine and gave it to her son. “Sorry mother for not obeying you. From now on, I will not play in the rain anymore”, said Ezra. “I will always follow you mother “, he added. “You are forgiven my son. Always remember that everything I say to you is for your own goodness”, said his mother.

One day, Ashley went to the forest and while walking she saw a beautiful flower. She picked up the flower and started to talk to it and wished on it. “I wish for a vegetable seed”, said Ashley. The next day, she received a bag of seeds. She started planting it and had healthy of foods every day. But Ashly realized that the whole village had no food and she said, “Oh no!

As a child, I ask, “how blessed am I”?
Not for the things I have, but for everything
Like a butterfly that thankful for anything.
I am thankful and how can I ask for more?

We hop and jump everyday
Then we hide and seek with glee
Shout if one of us gets free
Sometimes we play with tops
Then we do the march like humblecops
We love to copy the sound of drum
But sometimes do a beautiful hum
Behind the tress we play with balls
Then run so fast, when someone calls
But most of all we love to bake
Delicious cake that we can take.
One day, Ashley didn’t show up and the villagers were sad. They found out that Ashley was sick. The villagers started thinking about how to make Ashley better, so they made some medicine for her. Ashley drank the medicine and became well. “Thank You everybody”, said Ashley. Suddenly, Ashley remembered the flower that she picked up. She went back to the forest and looked for it. She thanked the wishing flower for everything that she had. The flower suddenly opened and smiled at her. From then on, Ashley became friends with the villagers, and they helped each other with whatever problems they may encounter.

General Tiburcio De Leon School
Hymn was first sung on October 17, 2022 in which the lyrics and music were composed and performed by one of the most talented Music teachers, Mrs. Joan Kristine V. Carnesil. Exploring the lyrics of the hymn, it expresses gratitude to our hero, General Tiburcio De Leon. The hymn reminds us especially every student to be proud of where we all started and where our journey begins, to appreciate our dear teachers because through them, our future is honed to be brighter and richer in the future. Most importantly, the song teaches us to love God, our parents, teachers, and fellow students and to always be of help and service to our country.
The hymn is used every Monday during our flag ceremony. It is easy to memorize and feel the lyrics every time the student sings it. You can see how the students smile and feel honored as they sing every word that comes out. Our school hymn will always be a remarkable music that plays into our mind and soul forever.

Once a upon a time there was a drinking fountain called Lory, who did not want to be drank from. Lory is unkind, so many birds wanted to drink its fresh water but every time they try to drink, Lory emptied its own water.
One day a woman who is in a long journey saw the fountain an wanted to drink from it because she is very thirsty, but when she was near the fountain, it doesn’t have water and it is empty, little did she know that the fountain in front of her has life and don’t want to share her water. Soon the woman died of thirst.
God punished the water fountain by taking all her water and the fountain was dry even after rains. As years past by, Lory realized her mistake, so she beg for God to give her back the fountain and she will be good and kind to every one who wants to drink water from Lory the fountain.
Moral Lesson of the story always be kind and share what you have.

In an earthquake, the ground shakes and tremble while masses of rock move beneath Earth’s surface. Sometimes an earthquake causes great damage to property and to human life. It occur constantly around the world, but most of them can only be detected by scientific tools.
Earth’s crust is brokenup into a number of separate plates. These plates are large masses of rocks up to 22 miles thick. They move apart and against each other, causing pressure to build up. Eventually, the pressure must be released, causing an earthquake.
When the plates in Earth’s crust move they release energy called seismic waves. These spread through the rock
in all directions. These seismic waves can be powerful enough to open up giant cracks in the ground. Apart from the damage caused by the shaking itself an earthquake can causes other disasters, such as landslides and tsunamis.
Meanwhile, as preparation to a disastrous calamity pupils of Gen T. De Leon Elementary School are taking precautionary measures to as much as possible prevent and reduce damage if ever an earthquake hits the country by conducting earthquake drills every month to ensure that every pupil are equipped with knowledge and skills that would save them from danger.

6– Jose P. RizalAfter typhoon Haima last 2016, another super typhoon will strike some part of the Philippines. Typhoon Betty with an international name “Mawar” is packed a maximum sustained winds of 150 kph ang gusts of 185 kph.
Parts of the Philippines are the scene of utter devastation and suffering in the wake of typhoon Betty with an international name of Mawar, believed to gain more strength before making landfall over the northern Philippines. So, how are typhoons formed and what path did typhoon Betty take on its way through?
How typhoons are formed?
1. Typhoons start off as tropical thunderstorm. The strong winds pull moisture from the oceans.
2. The thunderstorms convert the moisture into heat. The heat causes more air to flow to the center of the storm causing evaporation.
3. All the heat and air flow toward the eye creating the typhoon.
Why Typhoon Betty did so much damage?
Packing maximum sustained winds of 155 kilometers per hour and 190 kph gusts, it appears that a total of 4,831

families were preemtively evacuated according to NDRRMC compared to the previous deadliest Philippine storm, Thelma and Yolanda, in which about 5,100 people died in 1991 and at least 10,000 in 2013. Mawar’s fury was the result of several factors. Its powerful winds, low pressure and intense rain worked to deliver enormous amounts of water in a short time from different directions. Low-lying areas near rivers or coastlines didn’t stand a chance.
According to Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), rains from typhoon Betty may unleash floods and landslides in some parts of Luzon.
The agency also cautioned residents in parts in parts of northern Luzon to brace for heavy rains between 50 and 200 millimeters.

Herbal plants have been proven to work wonders on someone’s health. Even before the time of our great grandparents, they used herbal plants as their medicine.
The herbal plant that we will be tackling is commonly used for cooking, an ingredient in making bread and pasties, pasta, drinks, and others. This is also popular to breastfeeding mothers because they use this as a soup. This plant grows in tropical places like Africa and other more tropical places/ countries.
This is the Moringa (malunggay) or also called drumstick tree. It can grow up to 9 meters (30 feet) and has corky gray bark. Its leaves are bi- or tripinnately compound and it has oval-shaped leaflets with some conspicuous swelling in the parts connected to the stem. It bears scented clusters of white pea-like flowers with five stamens, usually it has a dagger-like fruit that sometimes grows around 45 centimeters (18 inches) long and is explosively dehiscent. This plant belongs to the family of Moringceae. The flower pods, leaves and even twigs can be cooked and eaten. The young leaves can be eaten raw or cooked which is verynutritious andhighinIron, Potassium,andVitaminC.
Different research showed that taking 3 grams of Moringa twice daily for 3 weeks reduces the severity of mild to severe asthma symptoms and improves lung functions in adults. It also shows positive results in controlling the sugar level of persons with diabetes. That's why right now we can find different over-thecounter (OTC) Moringa Food supplements. Other research showed that taking Moringa leaves with meals might reduce post – meal blood sugar for those people with diabetes without taking medications. In addition, it is also helpful in lowering blood pressure, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and uric acid. There are so many herbal plants that can be used as medicine like Moringa and others, so we should plant more Moringa and other medicinal plants so that we can use them as alternatives in every medicine drug that we intake.

Do you know what Artificial Intelligence (AI)is? Do you know what it can do? If not, let us discover what AI can do in this era.
Artificial Intelligence or AI is the field of computer science in which robust datasets are used to solve different questions in the industry, education, language and speech recognition and machine vision, etc. In addition, it is also a simulation of human intelligence in which a computer system performs a duty in which human beings find it difficult. The common AI today is ChatGPT that is supported by Microsoft Corporation. This AI application is like a chatbox support that allows you to create everything that you enter this chat with some limitation of video and photo editing. In lieu of that, many technological companies and social networking sites are pursuing to create AI applications. With the use of this technology, it triggered a race to develop a game changer application in all social media platforms or game-based platforms.
One of the biggest Social Networking sites named “Tik Tok” starts its experiment in the world of AI by exploring a chatbot called “Tako”. This chatbot can converse with the users about short videos and help them discover content and is conducting tests with select users in our country.
Last May 25, Reuters shared a tiktok video about this chatbot featuring prominently the interface as a ghost-shaped icon, in which users can tap while they are watching the video and, in an instance, there will be text-based conversation as well as it will help them in finding content.
Truly, technology evolved in this era, that’s why we need to be flexible for us to be one at technology. But we also need to be mindful of everything that we get from the internet. We need to be vigilant, and we need to scrutinize every information that we read on the internet to avoid fake news and misinformation.

These superfast expressions that suddenly appear in the middle of another sometimes opposite expression are micro expressions.
After taking just one look at someone, why do we sometimes immediately know we don't like him or her? We usually chalk this up to instinct, intuition or a "gut feeling," but researchers have found that there's something more going on that just barely meets the eye micro expressions.
The human face is a medium, or a sign vehicle, that sends us a message. When we "read" a face, there's quite a lot of data to swift through. One part of the media is its basic structure and muscle tone. Is it long and angular or round and chubby? Often, we'll see a stranger's face and flip through a mental Rolodex of sorts, matching the shape of the new face with ones we already know. We also perceive changes that have taken place, such as scarring, weathering of the skin or wrinkles. Taking into account
artificial adornments, such as eyeglasses, makeup, tattoos or piercings, we make personal judgments based on what the person has added by choice. Providing more immediate information are the changes in a person's face, such as smiles, frowns or scowls. These changes provide us with the most obvious information about someone's mood or immediate intentions. Expressions represent the person's intended message, the one he or she is trying to convey. A person trying to gain your trust will smile. Someone trying to scare you will scowl.
When we communicate, we try to collect as much verbal and nonverbal information as possible.

After the glorious battle last February 2023 Division Meet, athletes must now boost themselves in training in order to survive in the clash with hundreds of athletes they will be competing around the region.
Mr. David, their coach is now busy in preparing their long tennis smashers.
Reign Joice C. Magcosta and Ren Joshua C. Magcosta are having their intensive and rigorous training.
“
We can’t be lax, because there are other districts who we know is always ready to beat other players.” said Mr. David said.
Magcosta siblings won
Gold Medals in the recently concluded Long Tennis game that was held at Manotoc Court, Marulas, Valenzuela City. Moreover, the mighty confident athletes always seem to be serious in their training which is a big thing in saying that they will dominate the upcoming NCR Meet 2023.
Long tennis (also called plain tennis), which is the modern form of the game, is played on hard or clay court. We can conclude that lawn tennis and long tennis are now the same game as modern-day people have found a better replacement for the traditional grass surface that was used for most games years ago.

Where do we begin with the history of sports?
To begin with what has been recorded or documented in the history of sports, takes us back at least 3,000 years. The early history of sports often involved the preparation and training for war or hunting. Hence there were sports games
that involved the throwing of spears, s takes, and rocks, and of course lots of play-fighting.
Ancient Greece introduced formal sports, with the first Olympic Games in 776 BC, that included sports such as human and chariot races, wrestling, jumping, disk and javelin throwing, and more.
