Holy Angel University has officially opened its on-campus college enrollment for the 2nd Semester of the School Year 2025–2026. Students from the School of Engineering and Architecture (SEA) have started processing their enrollment by first paying their entrance fees at the teller stations.

After payment, students head to their designated rooms inside the SH Building to finish their enrollment. After completing the process, they can easily print their class schedules on the ground floor.

The block section enrollment for SEA students is scheduled on October 28, followed by free select enrollment on October 30, alongside other colleges. Late enrollment for all colleges will take place from November 3 to 5.

As the new semester approaches, SEA students continue to show enthusiasm and readiness to pursue another term of academic growth and excellence.

The program began with a grand march featuring representatives from each university department, joined by delegates from neighboring Pampanga universities. It was followed by the introduction of the Board of Trustees and a flag march, accompanied by the singing of the Lupang Hinirang and the Holy Angel University hymn to officially open the ceremony.

The formal appointment of President Valdes was then officiated by Atty. Erika Ana Andrea Jimenez Nepomuceno, Corporate Secretary of the Board. The formal inauguration commenced with the Nepomuceno family and Archbishop Florentino G. Lavarias, D.D., Chairman of the Board, presenting President Valdes with the presidential medallion and the university mace. This was followed by his oath-taking, signifying the official start of his presidency.

In his inaugural address, President Valdes expressed deep gratitude to the students, faculty, alumni, staff, friends, and family who gathered to witness the milestone. He addressed current social and educational issues in the country, posing the thought-provoking question, “Why can’t we have nice things?” He reflected that “the wants of the few outweigh the needs of the many,” citing a growing mismatch in the educational sector and the dangers of “hypernormalization” in education.

He highlighted the cultural tendencies of “pwede na” and “bahala na,” attitudes of complacency and resignation that, he said, have long hindered progress. “These have led to living standards that are painful to witness,” he remarked. President Valdes emphasized that true change lies in quality leadership, one that observes and not merely sees. He closed his speech by encouraging the community to reject complacency and strive for excellence, saying, “‘Pwede na’-ism and ‘bahala na’-ism have long been normalized. We shall continue not to settle for it as we grow to be professionals.”

The ceremony concluded with a musical medley by the Holy Angel University Chorale and a dance performance by PrideRise, ending the inauguration on a celebratory and inspiring note.

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | 𝗔𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁, 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻

They said, "You made it once, you’ll make it again."
And for a moment, I believed.
I wore my uniform, I sat in class,
I dreamed—this time awake.

But now the second semester knocks.
And the old ghosts return.
The same tuition-sized shadow,
The same hollow echo in my wallet.

It’s heavier this time—
Because I know how real the fall feels.
I know the taste of almost-lost years.
I know the sting of standing still.

Yet lighter, too—
Because I remember: I fought before.
And somehow, fortune, fate,
Or faith—pulled me through.

So I stand in the doorway of another “almost.”
Heart tight, pockets thin,
Hope trembling like a candle in the wind.

Abot kaya ba?
The question comes back, familiar,
An old refrain replaying in my chest.

And maybe this time I act like I’ve accepted it—
that some dreams are too heavy, too far.
But deep inside, I still wait,
still hope,
that somehow, I’ll make it through again.

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗴-𝗮𝘀𝗮

Narito ako sa gitna ng mga bagsak na numero,
Mga sugat na kulay p**a sa maputing papel na puno ng sigaw.
Ang silid ay isang kapaligirang may masaya at malungkot na parangrap,
At ako? isang multong bunga ng sariling pagkakauntog na walang patutunguhan.

Sa pagkalat ng mga aklat na walang boses,
Nakita ko ang munting anting-anting, na naging susi sa nakaraan.
Nakadikit ito sa ilalim ng lumang mesa na puno ng alaala,
Parang pusong namatay na hindi pa tumitibok sa kawalan.

Lumabas sa mga labi ng kaklase, kay Maria daw ito,
Sikat na dalaga, Dean's Lister, pinawi ng kamatayan sa kasagsagan ng kanyang tagumpay.
Ang anting-anting niya'y naging saksi ng pagkakauntog sa mundo,
Habang siya'y nagiging hangin sa mga alaala na hindi nawawalit.

Dinala ko ito sa susunod na pagsusulit na puno ng pag-asa,
Hawak sa palad na nanginginig sa takot at pangamba.
Parang nagbukas ang mundo, naalala bigla ang mga alaalang nakalimutan,
Mga sagot na dating ulap, naging liwanag sa dilim.

Pero sa katahimikan ng gabi, may narinig akong bumubulong sa akin,
"Hindi mo ako kailangan para sa iyong tagumpay na tunay."
Ang anting-anting ay hindi mahika kundi salamin ng kaluluwa,
Na nagpapakita ng lakas na nasa loob mo na at hindi sa ibang patunay.

Kaya iniwan ko na ito sa dating lugar na puno ng alaala,
Hindi dahil sa takot, kundi dahil nauunawaan ko na ang katotohanan.
Ang pagbabago ay hindi nakukuha sa iba kundi sa sariling sikap,
Kundi sa pagkilala sa sariling kakayahan na walang kapantay.

Narito ako, muling bagsak sa pagsusulit na mapait,
Ngunit ngayon, may ngiti sa aking mukha na nagdudulot ng saya.
Sapagkat natutunan kong lumaban gamit ang sarili at walang iba,
At ang pagkatalo ay simula ng panibagong laban na walang hanggan.

On October 3, 2025, PAGASA raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 over Pampanga due to Tropical Cyclone Paolo. In response, the Angeles City local government suspended classes only up to the senior high school level in public schools — a directive that Holy Angel University (HAU) mirrored by shifting its Basic Education Department to asynchronous mode. Throughout the day, however, college students continued to enter the campus under relentless rain, until HAU finally announced the suspension of classes at 5:00 p.m., citing “worsening weather conditions.”

This delayed decision placed students at unnecessary risk, particularly those who commute from outside Angeles City. It disregarded the realities many students face — long travel hours, flooded routes, and other safety concerns. By the time the announcement was made, many had already been drenched and exposed to hazards despite PAGASA’s advisories warning of heavy rainfall across the province.

Unfortunately, this incident is not isolated; on September 25, neighboring localities and academic institutions had suspended classes in anticipation of inclement weather, while HAU chose not to follow suit. Time and again, Angelites have raised their call for the administration to prioritize student safety — yet such appeals continue to fall on deaf ears.

These repeated instances reveal a concerning lack of urgency, empathy, and foresight on the part of the administration. It begins its quality policy with the words, “We are all about students,” yet its consistent delays in responding to weather-related advisories undermine its duty of care and reflect an alarming disregard for student welfare. For an academic institution that houses thousands of students, decision-making concerning class suspensions must always prioritize safety and well-being — guided by precaution rather than reaction. Yet, HAU’s hesitation to act decisively suggests that policy takes precedence, and that bureaucratic technicalities outweigh empathy and sound judgment.

From here onwards, we call on the HAU administration to exercise its autonomy responsibly by establishing clear, proactive, and student-centered protocols for class suspensions. Its autonomy should never serve as a pretext for inaction, but rather as a means to protect, empower, and uphold the welfare of the Angelite studentry. For an institution that prides itself on independence, the university must ensure that its actions are likewise grounded in conscience, competence, and compassion — especially when the safety of its students is at stake.

Our Story

The Philippines was still recuperating from the painful traces of the Marcos regime when the School of Engineering and Architecture of Holy Angel University, Angeles City gave birth to an institution that would advance the rights and welfare of the engineering pop**ace. In June of 1986, student leaders Renato David and Ronaldo Juanatas spear headed the setting of a student publication in the college. It was their noble task to carry out their endeavor as they deemed a student publication as the only medium where the students pleas and concerns would be best heard-out. The two leaders went through a very tiring and deciding job on how they will be able to form a publication with a firm foundation of principles and vehement idealism and patriotism.

The members contemplated on what particular word was the most commonly used in engineering and likewise depicted a positive connotation when uttered. The term SOLUTION became pop**ar after a series of consultations with both the students and the faculty. Hence, it was adapted and became the banner of the School of Engineering and Architecture Official Student Publication.

Since the, The Solution has been serving as a gateway fo the engineering students in promoting their democratic rights. It also became a source of information especially with regards to the undertaking of the college.

Today alongside the other student publications of Holy Angel University, The Solution continues to carry on with its motto: "Differentiated Views, Integrated Truth."
