RKC and Its Young Guests

It has only been a few months since the REX Group of Companies launched REX Knowledge Center (RKC) for further productivity in giving out their best books and other related products for their clients. It has only been a few days since the incoming Grade 12 students from the schools of Roman Catholic Bishop of Novaliches Educational System (RCBN-ES) started their Work Immersion Program (WIP) with the REX Group of Companies. Most of the students assigned to this said new work place never knew a REX Knowledge Center existed. This is why it would be interesting if we are to take a peek at what are circling inside their minds for being under the roof of the RKC.
A STEM student, Jhon Neri Palma, who is currently having his work immersion in REX Knowledge Center first thought that it would look just like a usual bookstore which only sells books like any other “bookstore” as he said. RKC also appears for him as a typical publishing house whose only activity is to produce lots of books and sell them.
For a student athlete of Good Shepherd Cathedral School (GSCS), Wed Perez  thinks that the Knowledge Center is like a comforting home after a five o’clock muscle-tearing training in the morning. Unlike on-the-job trainings in any other place, even though this immersion also keeps him busy, the atmosphere in his workplace, as what he said, is perfect for athletes like him who is also a student in need of experience before receiving his diploma. Mr. Perez also appreciates the regular associates’ understanding and patience in showing them how and what to do in their job and workplace.
A group of girls from a school in Novaliches, Quezon City, Ina ng Buhay, thought that our new facility could be compared to National Bookstore where one can buy stuff like books, stationary, pens, and the like. The girls gave positive reactions on their experiences while completing the eighty hours needed for their WIP. When asked if they were aware that there is another building aside from the REX’s main building they cracked a laugh and nodded.
Another student from GSCS, Kenneth Vergara, who was two days late from performing his WIP due to a summer escapade with his family in Bataan, asked his mates “What is it like being there guys?” His expectations contradicted with the answers of his friends. Mr Vergara pointed out that he thought this place would just be like a duplicate of the main building since he first saw it before the RKC but to his surprise the building has a great facility and a very comforting vibe.
For someone who is doing her WIP at the Supply Chain Management Department at the main building, Mai Abainza, another STEM student, sees the Knowledge Center like this, “akala ko parang ano siya, carbon copy ng National Library of the Philippines. Isang malaking library na punong puno ng libro pero may mga offices pala sila ng iba-ibang department tulad ng creative, publishing, marketing, and so on,” she said. She also gave a positive feedback on how the canteen fascinates her because she is usually seen taking her lunch with her friends knowing that she has to walk from the main building to RKC during the midday hotness of the sun.

Allowing these young minds under the care of Rex Knowldege Center is beneficial both for the students and the company. These future professionals knew that their future is no piece of cake because of RKC and because of them Knowledge Center and the REX Group of Companies managed again to accomplish a task believing that in everything they do, it will always will be “Para sa Bata.”

Sigaw ng Mag-aaral, Persepsyon ang Umiiral: Work Immersion Program ba ay Benepisyo o Pahirap?

May bagong programang inilatag ang Department of Education o DepEd na nagsimula makalipas ang halos limang taon. Ito ay ang K-12 Program. Napapaloob sa K-12 curriculum, kailangang dumaan at maipasa ng isang mag-aaral ng senior high school ang work immersion program o WIP ng DepEd kasama ang Kagawaran ng mga Manggagawa sa pakikipag-tulungan ng iba’t-ibang institusyon sa ating bansa. Ang WIP ay binuo upang ang mga mag-aaral ay magkaroon ng pambungad na kaalaman patungkol sa realidad ng buhay at pagta-trabaho. Ang mga mag-aaral ay inaasahang magkakaroon ng malalim na pang-unawa sa programa at malilinang ang kani-kanilang mga abilidad na natutunan base sa kanilang pag-aaral at sa mga kinuhang strand . Ang mga mag-aaral ay kailangang gumugol ng 80 oras upang pagdaanan at tapusin ang iba’t- ibang klase ng trabahong inihanda para sa kanila at ito ay ayon rin sa “Department # 40 series of 2015” ng kagawaran . Ang lahat ng trabahong itatalaga sa mga mag-aaral ay dapat na ina-angkop base sa k...

Munting Pangarap

Isang umaga ang mga bata na musmos pa lamang, hindi katangkaran at namamayat sa kanyang pisikal na kaanyuan. Palaboy-laboy, naglalakad at naghahanap ng makakain para sa kanyang almusal kasama ang ibang mga bata na namamalimos at naghahanap ng kanilang makakain. Sila ay paikot-ikot sa isang bahagi ng Magario. “Antonio! Antonio! Antonio! halika rito, may nakita ako. Dali, bilisan mo antonio…” saad ni Sara, isang babae na tumayong ina at panganay kila Antonio “Ito na, saglit lang ate sara. Ano po ba kasi yang nakita mo? Mamaya kung ano-ano nanaman iyang nahagilap mo.” saad ni Antonio, isang bata na namamalimos at kumakalakal sa araw-araw. Isang batang nangangarap na makapagtapos at makamit ang kanyang tagumpay. “Tignan mo, may pagkain rito tatlong manok at spaghetti galing Jolliana. Masarap ang mga pagkain dun, hmmm amoy pa lang nakakatakam na at ito'y ating pagsaluhan mamaya.” saad ni Sara ng may malaking ngiti sa kanyang labi at puno ng saya “ Oo napaka-sarap nga ng iyon...

REX Knowledge Center’s Cradle For Artworks

Illustrations. Visual designs. Creative Images. Conceptualizations. These are the responsibilities which the members of the Art Section of the Creatives Department upholds in their line of work.  Elements like these are vital in a textbook because words alone will not help the readers fully comprehend what they are reading thus, features like these that are found in textbooks are being provided by the Arts Section of the Creatives Department or also known as the Illustration Unit. Skillful people with “natatagong talino” are greatly needed in the Illustration Unit especially those who are proficient in drawing or illustrating. This section’s work mainly focuses on the book’s pictures, drawings, and illustrations. Furthermore, the Illustration Unit is responsible for providing these illustrations for the books in their “series” or the textbooks used in schools especially for elementary students, high school students and for college students.   The Arts Sect...
