About
Mr. Manansala:
Christian
Manansala, the newest addition to the
Foreign Languages Department, was hired
for the position of Filipino teacher last
August 2003. He was offered the position
to teach the Filipino language and culture,
but he has since exceeded that obligation
and has helped Filipino-American students
understand their inner qualities as well.
Manansala
desires to share the beauty of his culture
with American born Filipino. He believes
that by teaching Tagalog, the national
language of the Philippines, he strengthens
the cultural thread that keep Filipinos
all over the world in touch with their
own roots. By teaching Filipino-Americans
their native tongue and roots, he helps
them reclaim their Filipino heritage.
This
is Christian Manansala's first year of
teaching Filipino here at JBHS; already
he enjoys and appreciates the uniqueness
of the different ethnicities that constitutes
Jesse Bethel High School. He believes
that every race, whether African-American,
Mexican-American, Caucasian, or Filipino-
American, has their own distinct culture.
As a language teacher, he is able to see
that through his students, and believes
that each day is a stimulating and refreshing
experience, in terms of discussing issues
that reflect on the various language and
cultural standards of his curriculum.
