Teaching high school students probably is one of the most difficult and challenging responsibilities. As our group travel to different high schools and present our program to them, we experience a brief moment of that challenge when our volunteers talk to students, and sometimes in our country, reaching up to 60 to 70 in a classroom.

As I browse through the internet, I cam across this online education site called Brightstorm. They have educational video products that is fun to watch and listen to. The teachers in their videos are veteran and well experienced high school teachers and are very competent, making their educational video professional but very fun at the same time. The illustrations they use are very simple and effective, but I particularly am impressed by the flexibility and effectiveness that an on site take or shot, for the history courses which I got to view (Sign up for a free brightstorm acocunt), can provide. It is like bringing the students to a field trip and making education not limited within the classroom.

I think this method is a very effective way and I would highly consider it for parents who can afford the cost which is actually not much compared to the value of the education that can be given to their teenager. Remember, education does not cost- it pays.

To all families out there, have you heard of Nat and Alex? Well, this Saturday, November 22, you can chat live with these two boys from the Naked Brother Band. Yes, you can chat with Nat and Alex Wolff. This part of their new premiere entitled “Operation Mojo.”

What does that mean exactly? Well, Nat has lost his Mojo and the Band is going into some Dudification of sorts. Having said this, did you know that there are three things that you can do to help Nat get his mojo back? First, you can help by watching and sharing Nat’s YouTube videos to at least five friends. The second thing you could do to help is subscribe to their YouTube channel. And the third way is by making it your homepage. Pretty easy, right?

This event is surely going to be exciting for kids who regularly tune in to them and even for those who haven’t seen them yet. Nat and Alex Wolff’s site is where kids get to have clean fun and get to enjoy video and audio entertainment, interactive games and activities and even chatting sessions with other kids online. For many parents, this is a great relief to know that all of these are done within a safe environment and are closely monitored by adults. This web site of Nat and Alex does not just put a smile on the kids’ faces but on their parents as well.

Breaking Point Foundation (Phils.), Inc., an affiliate of The Breaking Point Foundation in Springfield, Missouri, U.S.A., is a locally based NGO that addresses the problem of drug abuse among young people. It has teams of Crisis Intervention and Prevention Specialists and Presenters who are “meeting people at their breaking points” through unique presentations. Using athletic skill, humor, drama and audience participation, Breaking Point’s team members provide large group presentations followed by small group interaction as well as a variety of workshop programs. Breaking Point’s programs are designed to prevent suicide and substance abuse.

This group travels all over the Philippines each year presenting their programs to high school students. Mr. Jeffrey Aspacio, the director of Breaking Point Philippines, leads them. Civic-minded persons and organizations support the group and they offer their program free of charge.

Doctors, nurses, teachers, students, housewives, engineers, architects, and people from all walks of life are trained and join this group and stand in front of the youth of our area to discourage the youth from getting lost in the drug culture.


Our Philosophy

We believe that to effectively prevent violence and substance abuse among youth we have to address the root of the problem - the problem of the heart of man. Breaking Point is committed to making the youth understand this root cause and teaching them how to have a “change of heart”. This, we believe, is the most effective way of prevention. That even if unlawful substances are very much available around youth, once they’ve experienced this “change of heart”, they will have the power to say no to these negative influences.

How is a person’s success determined? Emotional Intelligence and how a person deals with other people are the biggest factors in determining a person’s success in life and being able to assess and develop it is crucial. A great tool for assessment and development of a person’s emotional intelligence is the 360 defree feedback system. Visit their site to find out more about their services.

Press Release:

The rules for work are changing. People are being judged differently: not just by how intelligent they are or by their training and expertise, but also by how well they handle themselves and each other.

The new rules predict who is most likely to become a star performer in their field of work and are crucial to their marketability for future jobs.

These rules have little to do with what we were told was important in school: academic abilities are largely irrelevant to this new standard. The new measure: Emotional Intelligence (EQ) takes for granted having enough intellectual ability to do our jobs. Emotional Intelligence focuses instead on personal qualities or emotional competencies based on

Self Awareness - Managing Emotions - Self Motivation - Managing Relationships - Emotion Coaching.
One of the most effective ways to develop Emotional Intelligence is to use the Appraisal360 Emotional Intelligence tool monitor real life behaviour. Appraisal360 specialise in providing online 360 degree feedback (multi-rater feedback) tools to support companies with the development of their staff.

Appraisal360 Emotional Intelligence uses a structured competency based questionnaire focussed around the definitions of Emotional Intelligence. Firstly, the user fills in the questionnaire with their self -perceptions. Then six people who know that person, boss, colleagues etc, are asked to fill in the same questionnaire with their perceptions of that person. The system compiles an easy to understand report which highlights strengths and weaknesses and areas where the user's self perception differs from other people's perception of them. It also comes with a set of learning materials to help turn the report into action. A matching support and mentoring service is also available. By using this tool you can help your staff develop their Emotional Intelligence in the workplace.

Breaking Point Foundation Philippines is in the process of planning another missions trip to Puerto Princesa, Palawan and the target dates are any two days between January 12 to 16, 2009. Volunteers will be raising their own support and we hope that on our return there, we would be able to present the Breaking Point program to a bigger number of students. Coordination with our Palawan partners are on going.
