THE THREAD THAT TIES EFFORT WITH DISCOVERY          Quarter II | Issue no. 5 | Reflection  The second q uarter felt like crossing a bridge that connected who I was as a learner to who I am becoming. Each lesson served as a plank that I carefully stepped on, supported by patience, curiosity, and effort. I discovered that learning is not just about memorizing words but about understanding the meaning behind them. I learned to listen more, to think deeper, and to appreciate how every small success can build a stronger foundation for growth. Every day felt like adding a new piece to that bridge, one that leads toward confidence and maturity. There were, however, times when the bridge shook beneath my feet. Some lessons were harder than I expected, and there were moments when I felt unsure of where to step next. Deadlines came quickly, and the weight of responsibilities made me feel like I might fall behind. It was during these moments that I realized chall...

  MORE THAN A CROWN: THE HEART OF THE INTRAMURALS Quarter II | Issue no. 1 | September 8, 2025 Snagging the crown and earning the Ms. Intramurals title was a moment I will always put close to my heart. When my name was proclaimed, I felt a rush of disbelief and joy at the same time. The cheers from the crowd surrounded me, and for a moment, everything felt unreal. I frankly did not expect to win, especially with so many talented and confident candidates on stage. Each of them showed their own strength and grace, which made the experience even more meaningful. It was not just about standing out but about representing my team and the spirit of the whole event. THE CROWN & ITS GLORY  Still, the experience was about more than just the crown . The entire week of intramurals was filled with energy, laughter, and competition. I was able to watch different sports such as basketball games that kept everyone shouting, volleyball matches that showed teamwork, and track events wher...

AMIDST CHAOS: THE RESILIENCY OF FILIPINO S Quarter II | Issue no. II | September 18, 2025  C limate change is like a storm slowly gathering strength  on the horizon, sometimes striking suddenly and other times creeping in silently but surely. For Filipinos, its effects are no longer distant warnings but realities they face each day. Rising sea levels threaten coastal towns, while powerful typhoons destroy homes and livelihoods. Heatwaves scorch the soil, and floods swallow it soon after, making it harder to secure food and stability. The changing rhythm of nature feels like a clock spinning out of control, disturbing the harmony that sustains life. RESILIENCE & COMPASSION  These changes trace back to human actions. Rapid urban growth, widespread deforestation, and heavy reliance on fossil fuels continue to fuel the crisis. As cities expand and forests disappear, the Earth loses its natural shield, allowing greenhouse gases to trap heat beneath a suffocating layer. I...

LIGHTHOUSES OF LEARNING  Quarter II | Issue no. 4 | October 9, 2025 T eachers are the overlooked architects of our dreams. They build bridges between unconsciousness and enlightenment, shaping the fragile clay of our potential into sanctuaries of wisdom and courage.  As we celebrate the 2025 Teacher’s Month with the theme  “My Teacher, My Hero,”   we are reminded that heroes do not always wear capes; sometimes, they wear chalk-dusted clothes and carry words with conviction as their swords in the battlefield of education and learning.  INTEGRITY & PASSION  If I were to be asked to describe teachers in one word, I would, without any hesitation, utter the word Each educator is a candle that consumes itself to light the path of others . Their patience becomes the soil where our ambitions take root; their faith in us becomes the wind that pushes our sails forward. They transform four-walled classrooms into havens of growth. Places where mistakes are not ...

  BE A BEARER OF CHANGE  Issue No. 5 | Clean Up Drive | August 24, 2025 This photo depicts me as I pick up waste in our surroundings that hinder us from having a clean environment.  Through sweeping away the plastic waste found in the corners of our community, we can help build a stronger environment.  You can see here how sweeping leaves in our homes is also factor in our community's beautification.  Through thorough cleaning, we can make our greenery stand out, just like what can be seen in the picture. With a broom and a dustpan, we can make small changes for the betterment of our environment.  Picking up trash along our roads is also a way of helping our community to flourish.  To wrap it up, community involvement and initiative are a must if we want to achieve our goal, which is to attain a greener and brighter environment not only for us, but also for the future generations. May we cherish what we have, and prepare for the future.  Photo R...
