Lion on the Spot: Kenneth Fuentes

The Natural

By Billie Anne Formalejo

On the 29th of May 1994, Kenneth Adrian Louise Fuentes was born and now, this sixteen year old guy is definitely on his way to greatness.

Fuentes is currently a point guard in JCSGO’s Roaring Lions. “He’s a natural point guard,” expressed Mr. Darwin dela Torre, the team’s coach.

Kenneth’s hobbies are playing basketball and the game called, “CHARGE!” His humor came out when he stated that he wants to become a world champion on that game.

Though he is basketball player, his dream is to finish college at Ateneo de Manila University and become a Physics teacher. His dream proves that he has more than just good looks.

This natural point guard does not have his apple of the eye right now but he is looking for a cute, understanding, pretty, jolly, chubby and kind girl.

So better apply now before he finds one. I'm now in line.

What time is it? It's Physics time!

By Cressa Marie Rodriguez

Everyone has this immediate thought of Physics as a hard subject. This teacher, however, proved all of us wrong.

It was the first day of classes and JCA seniors can't help but worry, especially now that they have Physics as a subject. Rumors started to circulate about how hard it is and to make it worse, they thought that their new Physics teacher is strict - as in very strict.

But all their "theories" were proven incorrect once Mr. Wilfredo Adorio, Jr. entered the classroom and started talking.

At the age of 27, Mr. Adorio already has degrees in Physics and Nursing, and is currently taking up Master of Science in Nursing in a school in Manila.

You may ask yourself, "Why would someone be interested in a hard subject like Physics?" His answer was simply because it's fun to teach because it can be applied in our daily lives.

Being a new teacher, he has his own impressions of his students.

"Willing silang matuto," he said, obviously not disappointed with the openness of JCAians to learn new things from him.

At first look, one would think that he's not the approachable kind - maybe, a terror at that - but he showed it otherwise during his discussions, where he throws a couple of jokes here and there.

"Magaling magturo saka ayos yung mga jokes niya," one student said when asked about him.

Clearly, Mr. Adorio has made learning and studying Physics fun all at the same time. This has prompted fourth year students to ask for more come Physics time.
