Punawa: Sa mga nagtatanong kung bakit wikang ingles ang ginagamit sa karamihan ng mensahe sa sayt na ito. Nais po namin sanang gamitin ng lubusan ang wikang Pilipino sa sayt na ito, ngunit dahil ang mga bumibisita dito ay di lamang mga Kabayan natin, kungdi may mga banyaga at mga Pinoy di sanay sa pagbasa ng wikang Pilipino, gumamit kami ng salitang ingles upang maintindihan din nila ang mga mensahe. Bagamat minsa'y nahihirapan kami sa balarilang ingles, sinadya namin ito upang ipaintindi sa abot ng aming makakaya ang tungkol aming kilusan --- kung papaanong binubuhay namin ang Bayanihan sa Pilipinas, at malaman nila kung papaanong naitataguyod ang kalinangan at sining masang mamamayan.
Karamihan po naman ng masang mamamayan na pinaglilikuran namin o nakakasalumuha ay mga walang computer o internet. Makakasiguro ang ating mga kababayan na sa lahat ng kilos at prohiekto ng Magna Kultura sa mga Barangay at mga paaralang lokal na wikang Pilipino ang gamit namin sa pakikipag-ugnay at pagtuturo. Kapag mga Kababayan o masa ang mga kausap namin, siyempre Pinoy ang salitang gamit namin at wala nang iba.

As you have so openly supported us, Magna Kultura will likewise extend its assistance to your programs.
To all volunteers who recently participated in our programs, we thank you for heeding our call for service at the grassroots. We hope to bring out the best in each and everyone --- it takes a team to create a spark.

We thank all the individuals and organizations who have visited and joined Magna Kultura's site. We appreciate being connected with equally great organizations and individual with common cause for service to fellow-Filipinos.
As a note, we are not promoting Magna Kultura on the internet, rather, WE ARE ADVOCATING AMONG ORG'S IN CYBERSPACE TO POSSIBLY CONDUCT THE SAME SOCIO-CIVIC ENTREPRENEURSHIP at the grassroots --- to promote nationalism among our fellowmen, especially among the underprivileged class. Let us not simply prepare the nation for the future. Let us prepare the people, especially the youth, to manage the future of this nation.
Thank you all and keep the fire burning!

Ginoo,
Kami pong mga guro ng Departamento ng Araling Panlipunan ng Paaralan ng Elizabeth Seton sa Las Pinas ay naghahanap ng mga "beneficiary" para sa aming "outreach program". Naghahanap kami ng mga grupo, kung saan pwede kaming makipagtulungan, grupo na pwedeng mag supply sa amin ng mga papel, tulad ng mga permisong papel atbp.
Noong isang taon po ay nakapag "outreach" kami sa mga Mangyan sa Mindoro. Subalit wala na po kasi yung nakipag "coordinate" sa amin doon kung kaya balik kami sa simula ng pag poproseso nitong programa.
Sana po'y matulangan nyo kami.
Lubos na gumagalang,
Alex |
