TASK 5:
Who are these people? Choose one person whose picture is shown below and research
about his life and works. Write a reflection paper about their significant contributions.

The person I have chosen is Ana Kristina Arce. Arce is the youngest winner of the
Lasallian Achievement Award and has made advances in her career to become an
authority in her profession that is globally recognized. She was the first Filipino to be
awarded the Gallaudet University World Deaf Leadership Scholarship in Washington,
D.C. For students who are deaf and hearing impaired, this college is the world pioneer in
liberal education and job growth. Arce established her educational roots here and
graduated with a master's degree in Deaf Studies with a Cultural Studies emphasis. Arce
strives to inspire hearing impaired people who face the difficulty of learning fundamental
reading skills early in their lives using her advanced bilingual approach. Arce strives to
inspire hearing impaired people who face the difficulty of learning fundamental reading
skills early in their lives using her advanced bilingual approach. In order to prepare them
for college and beyond, she strives to help them develop their reading and writing skills.
In addition, as part of her holistic approach to Deaf awareness, Arce seeks to educate
parents of Deaf children and special education teachers in the use of Filipino Sign
Language (FSL). The impact that Arce has had on her students' lives is immense and will
benefit them for decades to come.

Reflection about Ana Kristina Arce

Ana Kristina Arce is a deaf-born Filipino who has followed her dream of living a
normal life. She amazes many people with the fact that it is not easy to have disabilities
in the Philippines. Public services for persons with disabilities do not perform well.
Growing up, she discovered at a school where most of the pupils are either deaf or have a
hearing disability. There's also sexism going on within the class. It's very difficult to
connect with other students within the class because they don't know how to deal with
each other. While she wishes to participate, her listening peers didn't involve her in class
assignments and events. She felt trapped and disillusioned.

In De La Salle, St. Benilde School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies, she
finds her place. She discovered an environment that welcomed her. The school was like a
home, so she felt loved and cared for. She learned real stuff about a Deaf person and
became part of the culture of the Deaf. To be prepared for more skills and to support
other Filipino Deaf groups, she is seeking her master's degree. Other Deaf Filipinos, she
believes, should better their lives. At Gallaudet University in Washington, she became
the first Filipino to be awarded a World Deaf Leadership Scholarship. Her mission now is
to educate and support the liberation of her fellow Deaf.
Reflection paper about Ronnel Del Rio

Ronnel Del Rio is a radio editor. He is indeed blind. For almost ten years, Ronnel
was first recognized as the "Good Morning of the South Luzon" radio reporter when he
talked about national problems, as well as issues as a voice of reason and knowledge
facing the PWD community in the Philippines. Ronnel tried to be the voice for the
Philippines' unforeseen PWDs and tried to achieve affordable facilities not just in his
country, but throughout the world.

He has a terrific summary, too. Ronnel is Chairman of the Massee Visually


Impaired Philippines Chamber, Founder of the Philippine Alliance on the Convention on
the Protection of People with Disabilities (CRH), Member of the Board of the Fédération
des Disabled in Lipa, Philippines, and Chief Executive Officer of Punlaka, the Punlaka-
based PWD support group, the Philippines Massage Chamber for Persons with
Disabilities. It is difficult enough to be born without material resources, but being born
without senses is even worse. Yet Ronnel del Rio grew up teeming with vision for
someone who was born blind. He compensates with will power for what he loses in
eyesight.

While poverty or sheer apathy would deter individuals from thinking high, Del
Rio did not cause him to be constrained in life by his condition. Del Rio would set
ambitious targets and aim for them, unlike most of his peers who would feel happy
making a living by alms. In reality, after being considered as the first blind Filipino to
receive a graduate degree, he is now looking at obtaining a doctoral degree. At48, Del
Rio holds a master's degree in Management Technology from La Salle University in
Lipa, Batangas, 90 kilometers south of Manila province. But make no mistake about it: it
was not easy for Del Rio to climb the academic ladder. Obviously, in order to go through
grade school, middle school, co-school, Del Rio had more difficulties to tackle than a
normal pupil.

Reflection about Gilda Quintua-Nakahara

The deaf person was Gilda Quintua-Nakahara. Although she is deaf, by sign
languages, she can also hear people around her. She is deaf only, but a successful Deaf
Entrepreneur. And if there is sexism, before she did so, Gilda nevertheless pushes
everything she has and is capable of. At the Go Negosyo Caravan for People with
Disabilities at De Salle-St. Benilde College in2007, Gilda was remembered. Gilda also
helped create a deaf organization in her Eastern Samar province.

And some of the PWD's just did a tiny thing, but in everybody's core it's still a huge help.
Ultimately, being PWD doesn't mean you're only restricted. Since we are the ones who
are making our lives easier, anyone should cross the border. Gilda demonstrates that she
still has her hearing problem, but in our culture she can still support. And as a group,
what PWDs can do and what they are capable of can inspire and respect us. If PWDs can,
we can too. There's nothing like that that can stop us.
