齊聚一堂喜迎中秋

中秋節是中國人的傳統節日之一。每逢農曆八月，菲律濱華文學校、華社、商場等地方都會舉辦一系列的慶祝活動，處處都充滿了中秋氣氛，熱鬧非凡。

為加強中華文化的傳統教育，本院國際文憑課程中學項目（候選學校）與大學預科項目也於2022年9月6-9日舉辦了『美滿中秋』主題文化活動，教導學生了解傳統節日、欣賞中華文化、體驗中秋習俗。此次活動分為“中秋博餅”與“才藝班學習區”兩個部份。中秋令人最期待的“中秋博餅”是通過Zoom平台舉行的。老師講解了中秋博餅的來歷、規則，並讓學生體驗博餅遊戲。今年的狀元分別由7NL的黃樺基同學、8VE的柯佳怡同學、9NF的林弘杰同學、10JS的蔡美慧同學、11PDLV的黃特藍同學與12AP的姚壬助同學獲得。以上六名同學均能收到學校贈送的中秋月餅。

此外，老師們還設立了“有趣的燈籠彩繪”、“可愛的玉兔摺紙”及“優美的月餅剪紙”三個“才藝班”學習區供學生進一步體驗優美的中華文化。雖然這是三位老師第一次採用混成式彈性學習方式〈HyFlex setup〉教導才藝班，但聽見了學生的歡聲笑語，看見學生認真聽講，發揮創意地完成作品，老師們疲憊的表情也逐漸化為欣慰的笑容。有學生還當場向老師反饋說：“此次的學習區活動很特別，他們都很喜歡。”

感謝本院國際文憑課程全體老師的支持，此次的慶祝活動才得以圓滿劃下句點。同時，也期盼同學能藉著『美滿中秋』的活動，對全球背景有更深入的了解，並間接培養其國際意識與多元化思維。

Ate Kuya Project

Write Up by Brent Austin Lim 

The Ate and Kuya Project held on December 9th was organized by the IB Student Council to show their gratitude towards the janitors who so graciously kept the IB building clean after all this time. All the IB grade levels were paired up and assigned to a specific Ate or Kuya to prepare gifts for, after which the batch representatives informed their respective classes about the details and parameters of the project. 

Each class then gave their gift baskets to their respective batch representatives for preparation. The Student Council’s P.R.O. Carlyn Luzentales, and Secretary Carlos Ong gave speeches for the janitors, while the Grade 5 Batch Representative, Edward Sy, prepared a tribute song for Kuya Boni, who was to retire. 

To end the heartwarming event, Sir Arevalo delivered a heartfelt speech for the janitors and the Student Council as well. 



CKSC IB Celebrates International Week

In celebration of the International Week, the International Baccalaureate community of Chiang Kai Shek College engaged in a whole day of learning, fun, and activities.

With the theme, “Using social influence to create global connections” the event was spearheaded by Ms. Lyra Felix, Mr. Vin Frago and the IB DO Head, Mr. Ian Mark Arevalo. Furthermore, it was guided by the statement of inquiry, “Global Interactions can create a hopeful future.”

Various influencers in different fields graced the celebration with their pre-recorded talks which students listened to during their morning workshop. Among the speakers were: Mr. Gilbert Que, Ateneo professor, culture, language and travel enthusiast based in the Philippines; Mr. Laurenz Ding, fitness and business influencer based in the Philippines; Ms. Mimi Wang, writer, journalist, video creator, and moderator of Netease based in Japan; Hookhuuk Gaming, gaming video content creator based in Thailand; Richard David of Papa Rodeo, console gaming content creator, MH Rise world record holder based in the Philippines; and Ms. Natalie Fay, make up artist and hair stylist, entrepreneur, and social media influencer based in South Africa.

One of the event’s highlights was the Windows of the World where MYP and DP students showcased their assigned continents through classroom decorations, performances, cultural appreciation videos, foods, and giveaways. Grade 7 students presented the continent of Asia, Grade 8 students for Europe, Grade 9 for Oceania, Grade 10 for South Africa, Grade 11 for South America, and Grade 12 for North America. 

Following this was an extemporaneous speaking competition led by the Model United Nations Club headed by Ms. Sara Cabatuan. Discussing the topic on disinformation through a 5-minute speech, Beatrice Chicano (11-PDLV) emerged as the champion, Krizelle San Agustin (8VE) came in second, and Deanne Go (12AP) won 3rd place. 

Finally was a showcase of the world’s national costumes entitled, the “World Wide Wear” led by Mr. Jommel Limbaga. Students’ interpretation of their costumes, stage presence, and their delivery and explanation of their chosen country to represent proved their creativity and international mindedness. Tonichi Yasay and Carlos Ong of 12AP were held champions of the WWW as they presented their traditional Mexican costumes during the celebration of the Día de Muertos or the Day of the Dead. Kisrten Leigh Ah and Sherdon Co of 8VE grabbed second place as they represented the United Kingdom’s queen and armored soldier attire, and Nathan Laborada and Keira Layog won third place as they modeled the casual daily wear of South American citizens. 

The event was deemed a great success. The IB family greets everyone a happy International Week celebration!

The Ultimate Player Handbook for Internet Wagering and Entertainment

Establishing a secure and entertaining routine in the digital gambling space requires a solid understanding of long-standing platforms, comprehensive market knowledge, and an appreciation for the mechanics of different game categories. As the industry continues to expand, players are met with an incredible diversity of options, ranging from sites tailored specifically for high-stakes action to those built on decades of unwavering reliability. Navigating this space effectively means looking beyond the aesthetic appeal of a website and delving into the mathematical realities of the games, the logistical realities of payout speeds, and the historical credibility of the operators running the show.

For players with substantial bankrolls seeking maximized promotional value, NY Spins presents a highly compelling proposition. Specifically engineered to cater to experienced, high-volume players, this platform offers one of the most aggressive welcome packages on the market—a massive 100% match up to €1,000, accompanied by 200 free spins. While this offer comes with a steep 45x wagering requirement, it provides the necessary capital for those who prefer high-volatility gameplay. NY Spins boasts an enormous library of over 3,500 games and notably accepts cryptocurrency deposits like Bitcoin, providing advanced financial flexibility for modern users.

In stark contrast to the aggressive, high-roller focused platforms stands Casinoluck, a monument to longevity and reliability in the digital gaming sector. Having operated continuously since 1999, Casinoluck provides an unmatched track record in an industry known for rapid turnover. Operating under dual licenses from the MGA and the Danish Gambling Authority, this platform represents the safest long-term choice for players who value absolute stability. Their modest welcome package of €150 and 150 free spins comes with highly reasonable 30x wagering requirements, and their curated selection of 1,600 games covers all necessary bases without overwhelming the user.

To ensure you are engaging with a platform that respects fair play and secures your data, you must actively verify several technical and regulatory indicators. Consider the following checklist when evaluating a new site:

  • Confirm the presence of an active license from a reputable body like the MGA or UKGC by checking the regulator's official database.
  • Look for the SSL encryption padlock icon in your browser's address bar to ensure all data transmissions are secure.
  • Verify that the platform's Random Number Generators (RNG) are regularly audited by independent testing agencies such as eCOGRA or iTech Labs.
  • Read through independent community forums to gauge real-player sentiment regarding withdrawal speeds and account restrictions.
  • Ensure the platform provides robust responsible gambling tools, including deposit limits and self-exclusion options.

The heart of any gaming platform is its game library, which is typically divided into several distinct categories. Online slots dominate the landscape, offering thousands of variations from classic three-reel setups to complex Megaways engines offering hundreds of thousands of paylines. Understanding slot volatility is key: high volatility games pay out less frequently but offer massive maximum wins, while low volatility slots provide steady, smaller returns. Table games, on the other hand, require a blend of luck and strategy. RNG-based versions of blackjack and roulette offer rapid gameplay and low minimum bets, making them perfect for practicing strategies.

The most significant advancement in recent years is the live dealer casino segment. Utilizing cutting-edge streaming technology, providers like Evolution Gaming broadcast professional croupiers managing real physical tables in high definition directly to your device. This bridges the gap between digital convenience and the authentic atmosphere of a brick-and-mortar establishment. Players can interact with the dealer and other participants in real-time while enjoying classics like baccarat or participating in highly produced game shows like Crazy Time, completely transforming the digital wagering experience.

Frequently asked questions often revolve around legality, taxation, and transaction speeds. It is completely legal to participate in offshore gaming platforms, provided they accept players from your jurisdiction, as international laws govern these operations. Regarding taxation, in many regions with favorable gambling laws, winnings derived from these platforms are considered tax-free for recreational players, meaning you keep exactly what you win. Withdrawal speeds are heavily dependent on the method chosen; e-wallets process almost instantly after casino approval, whereas traditional bank wire transfers can take up to a week.

In conclusion, thriving in an online casino environment requires a blend of cautious platform selection and an understanding of the games themselves. Whether you are drawn to the massive bonus structures of NY Spins or the decades-long reliability of Casinoluck, verifying licenses, understanding game mechanics, and managing your bankroll responsibly are the keys to a successful experience. By utilizing the independent auditing information and leveraging fast payment methods, players can fully enjoy the vast entertainment options available in today's sophisticated digital gaming market.
