TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

AUTHORIZATION LETTER FOR xxx
AND xxx

Please be it known that I, the undersigned, am the owner of House and Lot #xx xxth Street xx Village, Cainta, Rizal, Philippines. It was recently left in a dilapidated state by the previous occupant named MA CECILIA xxxx xxxx. Though we are related in name, she has no more right to enter the said premises. She can only get near the premises, for reasons of installing back the main gate and or fixing the ceiling which she is liable to do. If ever, she or any of her relatives/friends try to enter the premises, she and or they will be brought to court for illegal trespassing.

I am authorizing my sister, xxx, to be the caretaker, take over the keys (if no keys, I give my go signal to forcefully open the door and install new keys) and do inspection of the house until it is sold to my good friend, xxxx . While not officially sold, I instruct my sister to make sure that there is no telephone installed and or take out the phone if any for the line was illegally named under me as PLDT installed the line with my forged signature by CELIA xxx. Therefore, any bills accumulated by the two former occupants are not my responsibility and I am not liable to PLDT. I have legal document to prove that I was not there when the landline was installed.

At the same time, xxxx will look over my house until it is officially sold to him.

It is therefore clear that only my sister and companions and xxx have the right to enter my house. Any persons who insist that they can do so will be charged in court accordingly.

A Teacher's Prayer

When I went to Novena Church last month, I decided to go to the shop to buy some religious items. I bought a book titled Moments with God. And since the school year had started last Friday, 2nd of January, I feel that it is just apt for me to start this year with a prayer. The prayer I chose was taken from the book I bought. For I know in my heart that I can have a meaningful and fruitful year ahead only with God's help. So here is the prayer titled, A Teacher's Prayer.

Generous and ever loving God,

You have entrusted me

with this great responsibility

of molding not just the mind

but the whole person

of the young people under my care.

Thank you for helping me grow

and develop as an educator.

This is an important mission

to which you have called me.

Help me to remember this

when I am tired of writing my lesson plans,

preparing my visual materials,

thinking of my teaching strategies

and following up my students' behaviour

and performance.

Help me to be patient.

Keep me always healthy and calm

and may I never get annoyed with students

who need special attention in class

or who do not seem to be interested with my lesson.

Grant me the wisdom to learn new ideas, methods and techniques

to make my lessons more fruitful

and meaningful.

May I be filled with your Holy Spirit

to make me ever joyful and hopeful.

May I be faithful and loving instrument

in the building up of your kingdom on earth

as I try to follow the example of ypir Son

Jesus Christ, the greatest Teacher. Amen.
