Language and its Resemblance on Philosophy


            Philosophy is derived from two Greek words, Philos and Sophia which means, love of wisdom. Philosophers tend to understand philosophy in order to explain the probable cause of somewhat or something. Philosophy requires a medium in order to understand what a person wants to express his feeling or sentiments. And the medium is called language (wika).
            Communication is the transmission of words, thoughts, ideas from one person to another, and language is considered as man’s effective medium for communication. Language is expressed in oral or verbal, in written or printed, in signs or symbols like what the deaf do, by non-verbal like body languages and gestures and by informal expressions like what they do in social media and mobile world. Language do depends on many factors. First is geographical where the region of the society belongs is their language like in the South Americas, majority of them speaks Spanish, Britons speaks English and etc. second is technological where the influence of social media languages like hashtag, #OOTD(outfit of the day), #TBT (throwbackthursday) and many more. Third is cultural where their language was inherited from their ancestors is still used in the modern times like the Jews in the time of before-Christ era is still their language in 21st century and last is physical whereby it regards on the condition of an individual like deaf or harelip and many more.

            Language is an important medium also for philosophy as it was stated in the module. Philosophy is expressed and even in many barriers, by translation and other means of expressing, we can easily understand it fully. When we are conscious to a philosophy saying, we shall attempt to understand through language and accept, apply and adapt in real life scenario. Philosophy has full of symbolisms and through language and knowledge, we could understand it fully because if philosophy is not applied in real life basis, it is not justified.

TO 75 YEARS OF JOURNEY TO FAITH AND RESILIENCY Sem. Saturcito Velasco, Jr. T his year 2016 marks the Diamond Jubilee Celebration of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tagbilaran. From the Christian faith has come over since 1595 here in the province of Bohol until this 21 st century, it has grown much and advanced into the erection of the twin dioceses in the province. As heart of the Diocese, the seminary official publication which is the heart of the seminary featured her mother. As we journey towards this Holy Jubilee Year of Celebration, let us have a view on what happened more than 75 years ago. Pre-Spanish Period In the seaside village of Bool, three kilometers from the center of today’s Tagbilaran City, DatuSikatuna with Miguel Lopez de Legaspi has sealed the first international treaty of friendship in Philippine territory. It has been sealed and immortalized in the diocese’s coat of arms and the province’s official seal. Spreading the first missions o...

Seeing the Beauty of Philosophy through Knowledge and Actions             Reading the 12-page module opened my mind on how to apprehend and value of philosophy. Philosophy is made for some reasons for the betterment of mankind. Words and actions must come together. Why? Because words that are not put into actions are just like talking a bath without removing your clothes or writing a reflection without knowing your pen is not working. It is nonsense. I laughed in the part when the teacher and her students were in the pool doing lecture and practicum on swimming skills. Her students copied in their notes all the words came from her mouth, even those nonsense words. The students were angry and they said that they knew everything about swimming because they have noted well all the words of their teacher. In philosophy, there are lots of theories, sayings, and ways of life of the philosophers but how could this be in reality if...

VOCATION TO SERVE Sem. Saturcito Velasco Jr. It has been my passion to serve our young leaders of today — kids.  I started my mission in 2010. I served as a volunteer youth catechist to the kids in our parish during summer. I preferred to teach the senior kids ages 10-12. I also served as a heart champ servant to the kids in the Couples for Family and Life- Kids for Family and Life. We went to the different mission areas of the CFC to hold a Kids Assembly. We taught the kids some songs, animations, and the basic catechism of the church. When I entered the seminary, my ministry to the kids was halted. In the seminary, service is also a part of our life, but it is not particularly for the kids. In our apostolate I have served a lot of people even those whom I do not even know. My happiness is great, but deep within me has stayed my longing to serve the kids once more. The opportunity for me came when we were planning how to celebrate the feast of our dormitory’s patron...
