Feature: What Time Is It? It's Physics Time!

Spotlight: Wilfredo Adorio, Jr.
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.
