00:04Sumayaw, sayaw, at oi!
00:07Siya, hindi ka raw mababagot sa klase kung siya ang teacher mo.
00:13Patulad ng dangat!
00:16Si ma'am kasi,
00:17Ibig ng free mom, did I have to hop around?
00:21Lagi raw may pasong and dance number bago ang kanyang lesson.
00:26Set a thousand-legged bird as she gave a little squirt.
00:32Kahit pa, mga college student na pala ang mga tinuturuan niya.
00:38Hindi rin daw ito nalolobat.
00:40Laging fully charged.
00:42Kahit sa totoo lang, si ma'am mahigit dalawang dekada ng lagpas sa retirement age.
00:50Nakakamiss mga ganitong guru.
00:52Some teachers become lifelong memories and she's clearly one of them.
00:55Tagabaes City sa Negros Oriental si ma'am, si ma'am Rosalinda Gubak.
01:02I'm Rosalinda E. Spadelia Gubak.
01:05I'm 87 and 8 months old.
01:09Ngayon, I have 4 classes in a day.
01:13Dahil madalas nasa ikatlong palapag ang kanyang klase
01:17at walang elevator sa kanilang school building,
01:20dahang-dahan kong umakyat si ma'am Gubak sa hagdan.
01:24Talagang siya na eh.
01:25Hi, good morning class. How are you?
01:29Bagus simulan ang kanyang lesson.
01:32Halit as nurse then.
01:34To participate ha.
01:36Have you fun?
01:38Nakaugalian na raw niya na pakantahin at pasayawin muna ang kanyang mga estudyante.
01:44Hop around. Hop around. Have you fun?
01:51On the leg of mine.
01:53You have to have prior activities to make your pupils ready for the lesson.
01:58Have you fun? On the leg of mine.
02:02Parang bumabalik kami sa anong elementarya parang kami na dawi na magturo siya sa amin.
02:06Ang saya.
02:07Are you awake now?
02:09Yes, ma'am.
02:10Pero pagkatapos ng kanilang song and dance performance,
02:14Sometimes I become strict, especially if they do not listen.
02:17To any questions so far.
02:19And then I give them the opportunity to question something like that.
02:22To give their opinions.
02:23At dahil boomer si ma'am, ang kanyang teaching materials, old school pa rin.
02:30Wala siyang anumang gadget.
02:33Hindi rin siya gumagawa ng presentation ng kanyang leksyon.
02:38Mano-mano pa rin niya itong isinusulat sa blackboard.
02:56At dahil hindi raw siya marunong gumamit ng laptop,
03:00ang grades ng kanyang mga estudyante, kinocompute pa rin niya sa kanyang class record.
03:07Kasi kung siya laptop, bibigay mo lang yung mga rose scores, ang laptop ng mag-compute.
03:12I really want to keep my mind busy.
03:15Humihingi rin ang pasensya si ma'am sa kanyang mga estudyante.
03:19Lalo't aminado siyang humihina na ang kanyang boses.
03:23Kami na lang yung lapit sa kanya.
03:25Oo, kami na lang yung nag-a-adjust.
03:26Yung nasa likod, nag-move forward na lang sila para makalini.
03:29In-move forward naman yung chair papunta sa kanya.
03:32Kwento pa ni ma'am, hindi niya raw talaga first love ang pagtuturo.
03:36Ang kanya raw kasing pangarap noon, maging doktor.
03:39Pero taong 1956, sa edad na 17 anyos lang, maagang nag-asawa si ma'am.
03:46I had my first child at the age of 18.
03:50But, unluckily, my husband was not really good, so we separated.
03:54When I went back to my parents, my father advised me to go back to school.
03:59Ang malapit na school noon ay yung is na-grow sa tanghay.
04:02Education ang in-offer, so iyon ang kinukakalang education.
04:06So I finished my degree.
04:08At nagsimula na nga ang kanyang karyer bilang ulirang guro.
04:13In the public school, I taught for 39 and one half years.
04:18Naging head teacher, naging principal 1, principal 2, district supervisor.
04:23Then I became an OIC English division supervisor in our Vice City division.
04:29Dahil sa kanyang profesyon, mag-isa niyang naitaguyod ang dalawa niyang anak.
04:34Ang kanyang panganay, retired mechanic.
04:37Ang kanya namang bunso, retired na polis.
04:45Matapos ang halos apat na dekada, taong 2004, sa edad na 65 years old, si Ma'am Gubak nagretiro na.
04:54I wanted to extend my service, but it's not possible.
04:58At 65, you really have to retire whether you like it or not.
05:02Kaya, taong 2008, nang inalok siyang magturo ng general education subjects sa kolehyo,
05:09kahit na siya'y magsis 70 years old na noon,
05:12hindi raw siya nagdalawang isip na tanggapin ang alok sa kanyang magturo ng college.
05:18Because I miss teaching eh.
05:20I do not want the way to stay at home.
05:22There is no rule to that effect that retired teachers will not be admitted in the college,
05:28usually private school, provided you are still Kimabon.
05:30Bukod sa pagtuturo, active member rin siya ng Boy Scouts of the Philippines,
05:37bilang trainer.
05:38It's the council who will really schedule the training, and I'm invited.
05:43Kayang-kayang.
05:45Hehehehe.
05:46Hehehehe.
05:46Pero lagi na raw pinapaalalahanan si ma'am ng kanyang pamilya,
05:50na huwag masyadong workaholic, lalot may mga iniinda na rin siyang karamdaman.
05:55Meron lang akong high blood.
05:58I have diabetes pero not really high.
06:01When I feel tired, I will really rest.
06:04And I'm careful with my diet.
06:06Isa rin sa nagpapagaan daw ng pakiramdam niya kapag napapagod din sa pagtuturo,
06:12ang kanyang koleksyon ng stuffed toys.
06:16Lakas makabata, ma'am.
06:18Hindi ba nang maliit pa ko hindi ako nakapagano ng mga ganito.
06:21Dahil siya kahirapan ng buhay.
06:23Nga ya sabi ko pag ipira ako ay talagang bibili ako.
06:26Ayan na nga.
06:28At kung may inspirasyon man siya ngayon para magpatuloy sa pagtuturo,
06:33wala raw iba.
06:34Kundi kanya rin mga estudyante na itinuturing niyang parang mga anak.
06:40This is a grade 1.
06:41Pupils from Kapinyahan Elementary School.
06:44Dito ay ako ang advisor.
06:46Ito ata ang salamdash, yung first school ko.
06:49Ito rin mga boy scouts ko na nag-attend ng kampural.
06:54At saka ngayon, ayawan ko kung ano ng mga mukha nilang.
06:59Kung minsan, kung pupunta ko sa Mercalo,
07:02sa sabihin, ma'am, I'm your pupil. Sino ka ba?
07:05Sa sabihin ko.
07:08Kaya labis-labis ang kanyang tuwa
07:11sa tuwing nababalitaan niyang sumakses sa buhay
07:14ang kanyang mga dating estudyante.
07:16I did not also regret na I became a teacher.
07:19It's more meaningful now, no?
07:21Looking at those people have been successful because of me,
07:26at least make me happy.
07:28Isa sa mga dumaang estudyante kay Ma'am Gubak,
07:31ang ngayoy 41-anyos na si Robert.
07:35Sumunod sa yapak ni Ma'am.
07:37Isa na ngayong School Education Program Supervisor ng DepEd.
07:42Ano yung teacher ko si Ma'am Gubak noong 2002 at saka May 2003?
07:48Laki sa hirap si Robert dahil kakarampot lang daw noon
07:52ang kinikita ng kanyang mga magulang
07:54na mga trabahador o sakada sa tubuhan.
07:57Madalas, wala raw siyang baon.
08:07At dahil kailangan niya raw noong pagsabayin ang pag-aaral at pagtatrabaho sa bukit.
08:12Hindi ako makapag-comply sapagkat kapag makauwi na ako ng alas 6,
08:18pupunta ako sa tubuhan,
08:20binibigyan niya ako ng pagkakatao na makapag-comply.
08:25Si Alan naman makailang beses daw na bumagsak sa licensure exam for teachers,
08:31pero hindi raw siya sumuko dahil hindi rin daw siya sinukuan ni Ma'am Gubak.
08:38Palagi siyang nag-check sa akin sa messenger,
08:40kumusta ka na, wag ka mag-give up.
08:42Pagpatuli mo yan, balang araw makakamit mo yung pangarap na minimiti mo.
08:46Hanggang nito lang 2023,
08:48nakamit din sa wakas ni Alan ang pinaka-inaasam-asam niyang lisensya.
08:54Gusto ko kasi siyang yakapin Ma'am
08:56kasi talagang siya talagang nagpapatibar sa akin Ma'am ng loob.
09:01Isa siya sa mga taong talagang naniniwala sa akin Ma'am.
09:04Teaching the young ones to have good manners
09:08and later on they succeed in life,
09:10it makes me happy.
09:12The teachers do not become rich,
09:13but the joy that we enjoy is
09:16when our students become successful in their life later on.
09:21Susunod!
09:23Walang kamalay-malay si Ma'am Rosalinda
09:26sa naghihintay para sa kanyang sorpresa.
09:30Ang ilan kasi sa kanyang mga estudyante noon,
09:34pinisita rin siya.
09:38Wow!
09:45Ma'am!
09:50Huwag kang susuko.
09:52Iyan ang mga salitang habang buhay kong dadalhin Ma'am.
09:56I love you, Ma'am.
09:57I love you too.
09:58I love you, Ma'am.
10:01Ngayong Teacher's Month,
10:02walang kamalay-malay si Ma'am Rosalinda
10:05sa naghihintay para sa kanyang sorpresa
10:10habang papasok sa classroom.
10:11Kapal mo ka?
10:12Dugay na kayo ka!
10:14Naglagot ko ni Ma'am!
10:15Dugay na kayo!
10:16So, biglang may nag-away ng mga estudyante.
10:23Si Ma'am agad pinuntahan ang mga ito
10:26para awatin sila.
10:30Nang biglang...
10:31For us!
10:43Thank you!
10:46Thank you for being such a wonderful
10:49and good instructor to us.
10:51Thank you!
10:55Pero hindi pa dyan nagtatapos ang sorpresa.
10:58And some of her students, she was invited.
11:06Wow!
11:11Happy birthday!
11:15Happy birthday!
11:17We are crying!
11:19We are so proud of you!
11:21We are so proud of you!
11:23Wow!
11:24Wow!
11:27Dear Mainda, you have been more than just a teacher to me.
11:31You have been an inspiration and a role model.
11:34The way you taught me, with passion, patience, and dedication, inspired me to dream of becoming a teacher too.
11:41Ma'am!
11:46Huwag kang susuko.
11:48Iyan ang mga salitang habang buhay kong dadalhin, Ma'am.
11:51Mga salitang nagbibigay sa akin ng lakas noong panahon halos wala akong tiwala sa sarili ko.
11:57Kaya habang buhay kong dadalhin ang kabutihan pagmamahal at maniniwalang ibinigay niyo sa akin, Ma'am.
12:03I love you, Ma'am.
12:04I love you too.
12:05Thank you, Ma'am.
12:12Ma'am, Gubab.
12:13Siguro nalilimutan na, ma'am niyo kung ako nalilimutan.
12:16May you continue to rest, with good health, happiness, and many more meaningful years.
12:22Thanks!
12:26Ah, tumulak.
12:28I would like to shift, but I said to Magna,
12:31I'm going to stay here.
12:33I'm going to be the Administrative Officer 2.
12:35Wow!
12:37Wow!
12:39Happy Teacher's Day.
12:40Oh, yes!
12:42Fernandez.
12:43Robek!
12:43Robek!
12:44Thank you!
12:48Maminda!
12:49Thank you very much, ma'am,
12:51for being a good day in the past.
12:55Happy Teacher's Day!
13:00Thank you so much.
13:03I'm happy for you.
13:11Pag nalit mo kami, ma'am, yakapin mo lang ito.
13:15Ay, alam niyo talagang weakness ko, ha?
13:19I feel satisfied.
13:21I think I'm ready to stop.
13:23My student, do you want me to stop teaching now?
13:26Alisao?
13:26No.
13:27Once a teacher, always a teacher.
13:30I'm thankful to God nga, at least in my only tool way, I have helped him.
13:34Mixed emotions of gratitude, happiness, and nostalgia.
13:38Yung emosyon ko, hindi ko talaga mapigilan.
13:41Nanumbalik lahat yung mga laalak.
13:42Hindi pa talaga ito sapat na pagpapasalamat.
13:46Pabaonin ko ito hanggang sa ako ay mabubuhay.
13:49Itinuro ulit ni Ma'am Gubak ang isa sa mga ipinapakanta at ipinapasayaw niya noon sa kanyang mga naging estudyante.
13:59Walk up around, hop around, have you found a little mine.
14:09If it can't be found, then I have to hop around in my 999.
14:18Okay.
14:20We love you.
14:21We love you, Ma.
14:28It's really a mission to become a teacher.
14:31At least I can hold my head up high.
14:33Morning, Ma.
14:34Good morning, class.
14:36Sa buhay natin, may isang teacher na namumukod tangi.
14:41Hop around, hop around.
14:45At hinding-hindi natin malilimutan para sa marami niyang naging estudyante,
14:51si Ma'am Rosalinda Gubak ang gurong yun.
14:54Nasa dapit hapon man na siya ng kanyang buhay.
