Soldering is more than just melting metal to join wires— it is the quiet, intentional work of making separate pieces become one, strong, unbroken whole. This is exactly what the Junior Institute of Electronics Communication Engineers of the Philippines - Holy Angel University Student Chapter (JIECEP-HAUSC) strives to build: a community where every distinct passion fuses into something greater than itself.

Justine Kervy M. Rebutoc, president of the organization and a third year in BS Electronics Communication Engineering, leads with a heart rooted in service to his fellow ECE students. With a small population on campus and limited opportunities in the field, he sets his term on lifting these barriers. His vision goes beyond making the program known. It is about making every student feel valued, heard, supported, and empowered.

Just like when wires and cables are well connected, currents flow easily that nothing resists. No one is in loose as they all carry the same, steady prophecy.

In line with these goals are the activities that have helped the organization carry its shared potential forward. First came the Organization Fest or Freshman walk, where this gave a way to welcome incoming ECE students making time for them to socialize, share ideas, and expectations for the academic term. Then followed the soldering workshop, an activity that did more than teach a skill. It brought students together around the very heart of their program. Hands leaned in, questions were asked, and answers were passed around just like solder and iron. It was not just about joining wires, but about strengthening the very connections that hold their community together.

Beyond these activities, the organization stands on something far more lasting. As Rebutoc shares, the greatest success of his leadership is not measured by projects or attendance numbers. It lies in the safe space they have built a home for every ECE student. He explains that though their organization may be small, its strength never came from size, but from the genuine care members show one another. They have grown into a family and that bond remains the most meaningful achievement of all. His leadership was never about titles or recognition. It was about opening doors, creating opportunities, and laying a foundation future batches of ECE students can build on for years to come.

This vision guides how they address the most pressing challenges their students face. First among these is the program still being widely unknown and undervalued across the campus. To change this, JIECEP HAUSC rolls out promotional drives, community outreach, and inter school competitions that showcase the vital role ECE plays in the world. They want the department to be seen, understood, and respected by everyone.

They have also recognized how demanding ECE academics can be especially with the volume and complexity of engineering subjects. To support every student from first year to graduating batches, the organization organizes regular Review Tutorial Sessions. These peer led sessions turn difficult lessons into shared progress, ensuring no one struggles alone through the hardest courses.

Also, many students feel uncertain about which path to take within the broad field of electronics and communications. To give them clarity, they organize the Educational Tour where incoming OJT students visit companies across different specializations. Seeing real world work firsthand helps them visualize their own futures and make confident, informed choices about the careers they will build.

More than such activities, this drive hopes also to be seen and recognized to shine brightest during SEA Days, one of the most awaited events in the School of Engineering and Architecture. Their strategy was straightforward yet powerful. They set their sights on joining nearly every competition— not to chase trophies, but to let ECE shine on the stage it deserves. They stepped forward not with high expectations of victory, but with the simple, steady purpose of showing everyone what their program is, and what they are capable of. It was less about winning, and more about turning up and plugging in— letting their presence be felt like a signal finally coming through clear and strong.

Looking ahead, the organization has a full circuit of opportunities ready to power every student forward. Academic tutorials keep knowledge flowing freely. Industry partnerships such as the Educational Tour bridge the gap between theory and practice. Milestones like the Hard Hatting and Pinning Ceremony, ECE Days, and Induction Night, mark each step of growth. Competitions, seminars, workshops, and community service, all work together to build a well rounded current that runs through every part of student life. Whether sharpening technical skills or nurturing character of every program, it is designed to keep every member connected and powered up.

More than any single event or project, the true legacy Rebutoc hopes to leave behind is a culture that stays switched on long after his term ends. He wants future batches to inherit an environment where every student feels welcomed, just like a circuit where no connection is ever loose or overlooked. To make this last, the organization documents every process, insight and lesson, creating a blueprint future leaders can follow. They involve members early, giving them the skills, and ownership needed to keep the system running smoothly. Sustainability is not just about keeping programs alive, it is about keeping the purpose clear, and the community strong, so that every new generation of ECE students can plug in and continue building something greater than themselves.

To solder is to sonder. This is to recognize that every wire, every component, and every person, carries their own story, purpose, and potential. This is what JIECEP HAUSC has forged. From the first spark of welcome to the steady current of support, and the promise of a future built together. They have proven that the strongest circuits are not made of wires alone. They are made of purpose, care, and a shared commitment to keep flowing as one.

𝗕𝗘𝗬𝗢𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗡 | 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word daemon could be one of two things: a source or agent of evil, harm and distress, or a software process that runs in the background. Fittingly, their organization head is a spitting image of the latter definition.

The Institute of Computer Engineers of the Philippines Student Edition – HAU Chapter is a numbered group tucked into the nether floors of the Sacred Heart (SH) and Archbishop Pedro Santos (APS) buildings. For third-year BS in Computer Engineering student, Riccel Carmela M. Lazatin, the challenge has always been putting her organization on the map — but the rebrand does not come easily, in fact, it begins with the mundane: rewriting the logs of terms past, where previous administrations left their records scattered in what she calls an “ancestral” Gmail account. Her term, by contrast, prefers something a little less strewn and a little more tidy.

After all, a process is only as reliable as the system that runs it. And while processes are designed to eventually terminate, some are built to outlive them. As new sets of policies are being written into the organization’s Constitutions and By-Laws, from protocols for fee collection, mandatory monthly audits and a more systematic workflow, the current administration is building systems designed to leave as little room for error as possible. But no system operates in a vacuum.

Computer Engineering may be riding the wave of AI’s growing relevance, yet its graduates still face low employment rates in an increasingly saturated field. On the other end of the spectrum, students battle a motivational gap, one that professors are trying to combat by showing up and engaging more, all while reminding them what their field can offer.

For ICpEP.se, being relevant means more than simply keeping the organization itself running. It is about finding ways to make the field and the students within it move forward.

That effort came out swinging this academic year. Business partnerships across Pampanga now give Computer Engineering students room to unwind without draining their wallets. Their General Assembly lined up speakers to walk through the realities that come with Artificial Intelligence, may it be how to use it ethically, how to detect it, and just how far its capabilities truly stretch. That thread carried into a follow-up AI seminar centered on its responsible use with practical workshops and seminars still queued up for the rest of the year. These initiatives serve the same purpose: equipping its students not only for the theoretical concepts within the classroom, but for the careers waiting beyond those four walls.

And the organization’s reach does not stop at its own students. Further down their calendar, the organization is looking past its own walls. Tiangge for a Change invites local business owners and Angelites to sell their wares for a good cause: the funds raised will go toward repairing computer facilities in a public school they have chosen. Not only does it help the sellers to gain traction and earn for their daily needs, but also the students who would eventually walk into those repaired labs.

Yet for all these visible initiatives, when asked which one she would prefer to flag first, the answer is not an event at all. It’s a mindset that is wired into every gear keeping the organization running: huwag maging gastador.

Unlike bigger organizations, the Institute of Computer Engineers of the Philippines Student Edition — HAU Chapter has learned to work with what it has, leaning on cheaper alternatives to stretch a modest budget. The payoff is that every event this semester has closed under budget, and every event has landed on time. And while it may not be a flashy win, the breathing room it buys is exactly the kind of victory they have learned to celebrate. Not having to worry whether there is enough for the next event is better than a trophy after all.

That discipline is already bearing fruit in their preparation for the School of Engineering and Architecture (SEA) Days, a process that began well before the academic year. The event has historically been skipped by some Computer Engineering students, after all they were thin on representation in the bigger competitions. This is a gap that the current term is actively closing by scouting talent since the semester’s first weeks. “It’s about time that talented CpE students get the spotlight that they deserve,” Lazatin says.

Perhaps that is where they prove themselves to be daemons. Computer Engineering students tend to fade into the background, much like the processes quietly running behind our very screens. They may not always be under the spotlight, but that does not mean that they are incapable and idle. Beneath the surface, they are there to keep things moving.

And perhaps, that is exactly what ICpEP is trying to do. The goal is not to be seen, but to keep running long enough to make a difference. Because while some processes are designed to end, others are written to outlast the people who started them.

Electricity enables communities to thrive by powering homes, cities, and even entire nations. However, it can also go haywire without the proper management of professionals trained to stabilize its flow. The same principle can be used to describe organizations. Without proper guidance, any group will undoubtedly fluctuate.

This is what has allowed the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers – Holy Angel University Student Chapter (IIEE-HAUSC) to go against the current. The organization is composed of members who put teamwork and leadership at the forefront of their priorities, both during academic and extra-curricular activities.

Reiner Lee G. Lloder, the president of the organization, perfectly embodies this ideology. At first, he never had the spark to lead, but as his term went on, he learned to collaborate with his peers, see his community prosper, and ultimately find a reason to continue serving in his position.

Electrical engineers, much like Reiner, are no strangers to hardships. In reality, many students find themselves questioning whether they really belong in this field. Typically, the issues they face converge into three main concerns: Academics, Laboratories, and Student Welfare. IIEE-HAUSC wishes to uplift every one of its members regardless of year level. Thus, numerous programs have been implemented, each targeting a specific dilemma.

The primary challenge with Academics stems from the difficulty of EE subjects, jeopardizing passing rates while raising frustration. Consequently, the organization introduced the Major Exams Tutorials, which supply students with detailed review materials and peer mentoring before their examinations. This way, students could better retain the lessons taught by their professors.

There is also an overwhelming gap between theoretical understanding and practical application within the student body. The Wiring Workshop was employed for exactly this – helping learners practice the concepts they acquired in circuit design, troubleshooting, and assembly. Students could thereby better identify circuit problems and execute the right solutions under pressure.

Apart from those, stressful workloads impair Student Welfare. The General Assembly was established to tackle this particular issue – letting freshmen collaborate and even build connections with their peers and higher-ups. This has allowed rookies to loosen up and feel at home within the organization. The General Assembly was considered a massive triumph. In fact, IIEE-HAUSC’s head regards this as the group’s greatest achievement. To him, their month-long preparations finally paid off. Adding to this victory is the successful partnership with the renowned Karce Calculator. What seems like a simple feat is already an enormous leap, as it has been a shockingly long time since IIEE-HAUSC secured an external sponsor. This attainment alone has inspired the organization to keep pushing towards greater goals.

One event is evidently not enough to relieve the burdens of the entire EE community. Second, third, and fourth-year students also need something to energize their spirits. Hence, the SEA Days celebration would be given emphasis as well. This is partly because IIEE-HAUSC wishes to uphold its legacy, particularly in the Quiz Bee, Battle of the Bands, and Tug of War. Nonetheless, the organization is extremely supportive of its representatives, guaranteeing that they will receive all the resources and rehearsals they need.

Based on their record, the organization's priorities clearly lie with their fellow future electrical engineers, as they also promise to implement SO1 training and certification in the succeeding months. This will serve as their way of helping their peers secure industry-recognized safety credentials before their eventual graduation. Moreover, they plan to conduct a field trip to manufacturing plants, such as Firefly, helping them visualize their future in their chosen field. Finally, an outreach program is to be expected aimed at uplifting a local orphanage and extending the organization’s community efforts.

By the end of the school year, IIEE-HAUSC strives to make the partnership with external sponsors, SO1 certification program, and Major Exams Tutorials fixed implementations. If anything, the current accomplishments of the organization already prove it is more than capable of acquiring exceptional wins. IIEE-HAUSC wants its members to keep building on this momentum, and to never let the light of the organization dim. To ensure such, the organization will prioritize hands-on training for its succeeding officers, allowing them to directly gain the knowledge and leadership skills showcased by their predecessors.

Unregulated electricity inflicts nothing but harm. However, electricity that is guided and directed towards its intended current brews productivity.

IIEE-HAUSC’s future glows bright under the current administration. A leader who serves no one but themselves impedes their group; but one who serves their members empowers them far beyond their original capacity.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗔 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼?

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… a man?

In accordance with Act No. 3827, every year, on the last Monday of August, the Philippines comes together to celebrate the heroes who fought and sacrificed for the freedom and democracy of this nation. We celebrate those who gave up their lives so that we could live ours without the shackles of being a country under someone else’s rule.

While there are holidays dedicated to specific figures such as Benigno Aquino Jr. or Jose Rizal, National Heroes Day recognizes the heroes who laid down their lives or gave their efforts for our freedom, even if their names remain unknown.

It is dedicated to the Katipuneros we fail to recognize simply because they were not Andres Bonifacio, but who fought for the same cause all the same. It is dedicated to those who fought against the Americans and the Japanese so that we could be free from their occupation, and it is dedicated to the Filipino soldiers who fought alongside the Allied forces during the World Wars, fighting battles they never asked for but still giving everything they had so that we could have a future.

But heroism does not stop at the battlefield, in fact, heroism can be found in the people we encounter every day.

With the current state of the weather in Luzon, this can be found in the workers who tirelessly brave the rain and the winds just to ensure the safety of others — whether they are rescue workers, government workers or enforcers. It can be found in journalists who choose to use their voices to stand up for what is right and call out those in power who have led us to where we are today. It can be found in the ordinary kababayan who helps their neighbors when the roads are flooded, when the rain becomes too much, or when someone simply needs a hand.

And perhaps, this is why people still line up to see a man in a spider suit saving his people. Despite the heavy rains and the constant flooding, people still find their way to the cinemas to watch a hero, and perhaps, that film is a beautiful reflection of what heroism really is: a reminder that anyone can wear the mask.

Because what is a hero? Is it Spider-Man swinging across New York? Is it Superman saving Metropolis from robots? Or is it the common man fighting through storms and hardships, through pandemics and other calamities, just so the rest of us could live normally?

We often imagine heroes as people who are larger than life. Usually they are people with superpowers, people whose names we remember, people who make history. But sometimes, heroes are just people.

They are the ones who help carry someone through floodwaters, the ones who speak up when everyone else is afraid to, the ones who continue working through the rain so that others can make it home safely. They do not wear capes and they do not have superpowers. They may never have a monument built in their name or a holiday dedicated to them.

But they help anyway. Because heroism is putting others before ourselves. It is saving people without having to ask for anything in return. It is choosing selflessness despite the hardships we are facing. And perhaps that is what makes Filipino heroism so special: it is the community coming together because, in moments when everything feels uncertain, we know that we cannot get through it alone.

But being resilient should never mean that we should be forced to endure everything. Filipinos should not have to become heroes simply because the people and systems meant to protect us have failed. We should not have to suffer just to prove that we are strong.

And yet, despite everything, people still choose to help, and that is where heroism lives. It lives in the ordinary Filipino who chooses to do something extraordinary for someone else.

So, as we celebrate National Heroes Day, let us remember not only the heroes whose names we know, but also the countless others whose names we never will. And as we look at them, perhaps we should ask ourselves once again — what makes a hero?

“𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗺𝘂 𝗿𝗶𝗻”— 𝗞𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻?

People should never be made to settle for band-aid solutions and token relief handed out when the waters rise. These are not ordinary inconveniences— they are preventable hardships no community should be forced to endure. No one should have to wait for floods to come just to receive temporary aid instead of the permanent infrastructure they have long been owed. These small gestures do not fix the root cause as they only soothe the visible damage while the broken system remains unaddressed. These quick fixes are not answers; they only mask the failure to build proper drainage, resilient infrastructure, and lasting solutions that truly serve the people.

Promises mean nothing until roads are finally fixed and people can finally travel with ease. Resilience should never be mistaken for a solution, nor should endurance of neglect be celebrated as strength to excuse inaction.

Nabansagan mang isa sa mga pinakamataas na lungsod sa lalawigan, hindi pa rin nakaligtas ang Angeles City sa hagupit ng mga nagdaang habagat. Habang ang tubig sa iba't ibang barangay ay patuloy na tumataas, may ilan namang tila mas abala sa paggawa ng punchline kaysa sa pag-unawa sa sitwasyon ng kanilang mga nasasakupan.

Sa panahong ang mga tulay ay halos kapantay na ng rumaragasang tubig, ang mga kalsadang dati'y dinaraanan ay nagmistulang mga sapa, at ang mga residente ay abala sa pag-aangat ng kanilang mga gamit upang mailigtas sa baha, nakapagtataka kung paano pa nagkakaroon ng puwang para sa mga biro tungkol sa suspensyon ng klase.

Marahil para sa ilan, ang salitang "walang pasok" ay awtomatikong katumbas ng galaan, inuman, o mahabang pahinga. Ngunit para sa maraming estudyante at pamilya, ang suspensyon ay hindi gantimpala. Isa itong pagkilala na may panganib sa labas. Na may mga daang hindi madaanan. Na may mga tahanang pinapasok ng tubig. Na may mga pamilyang mas iniisip kung saan sila matutulog.

Hindi lahat ng estudyante ay nagdiriwang kapag walang pasok. Ang mga residente malapit sa Abacan River ay nagmamasid sa taas ng tubig. Sa Anunas, marami na namang pamilya ang nakatutok sa lagay ng panahon at sa antas ng baha. Para sa kanila, hindi biro ang bawat patak ng ulan. Hindi meme. Hindi content. Hindi katatawanan.

Kung kaya’t nakalulungkot tuwing may mga opisyal na tila nakatingin sa suspensyon bilang simpleng oportunidad para magpatawa. Sapagkat ang isang post na maaaring magmukhang mababaw na biro para sa nag-upload nito ay maaaring magsilbing paalala sa iba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng mga nasa opisina at ng mga nasa baha.

Ang tunay na problema rito ay hindi isang caption.

Ito ay ang pag-iisip na nasa likod nito.

Ang paniniwalang ang suspensyon ay tungkol sa "long weekend" sa halip na kaligtasan. Ang pananaw na ang kabataan ay agad maiisip na gumala sa halip na unawain na marami sa kanila ang direktang apektado ng sakuna. Ang kawalan ng pakiramdam na nagiging posible lamang kapag mas madalas mong nakikita ang mga numero sa report kaysa ang mga taong nasa kalsada.

Hindi naman kailangan ng isang opisyal na lumusong sa baha para maintindihan ang sitwasyon ng kanyang mga nasasakupan.

Ngunit may minimum requirement ang serbisyo publiko: ang kakayahang makiramdam.

Nakababahala man ang pagtaas ng tubig at lakas ng ulan, mas nakakatakot ang mga namumunong hindi na konektado sa realidad ng mga taong kanilang pinaglilingkuran.

Dahil ang baha, humuhupa.

Ang kawalan ng malasakit, hindi.

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗻 | 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻

No aircraft is made to fly by the power of a single component — it is a system․ The calculations‚ the structure, and the coordination all work together to enable an aircraft to lift off‚ to fly‚ to reach its precise destination․

It is the same for the 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 - 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 (𝗦𝗔𝗘𝗣-𝗛𝗔𝗨𝗦𝗖), which operates not through isolated events, but through systems designed to create lasting impact. Its principle is mainly building systems that will help students academically‚ connect with the industry‚ and prepare them for the demands of the aviation world․

Leading the way is Venice Anne G․ Tuazon. She is a third-year Aeronautical Engineering student․ To her‚ leadership is service‚ but it is also to grow along with the person one is leading․ Leadership, she believes, is not a title but a choice to build something meaningful and lasting․

That belief shapes how SAEP-HAUSC defines success. The organization’s guiding question behind each project is: 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴? This question of relevancy sits at the core of everything SAEP does․ With every flight requiring systems working together‚ SAEP-HAUSC builds the structures of support to prepare and move its students forward, ready and able for what lies ahead․

That focus marked a turning point for the organization. As the year has gone on, success has stopped being measured by how many programs they run or how many events they hold, and is now measured by how many students feel more confident, more connected, and more prepared. That, ultimately, is what fulfills the organization’s purpose.

With that vision guiding its direction, SAEP-HAUSC used the first half of the semester to build out the systems meant to bring it to life by making events more accessible and communication more innovative and efficient․ 𝗔𝗘-𝗥𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗦 stands out as a central hub for announcements, schedules, and deadlines, which keeps students informed in an organized manner. Complementing it is the 𝗕𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻 platform‚ a systematic structure for borrowing academic resources‚ ensuring accessibility and accountability․ Rounding out this trio is the 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝘄𝗮𝘆: 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺, which gathers student suggestions and criticisms directly, building a culture of listening that shapes the organization’s decision-making.

Behind every Aeronautical Engineering student, though‚ are challenges that often go unseen: heavy academic workloads, the gap between the classroom and the real world, and the pressure of professional readiness in an industry where precision and safety are paramount. SAEP-HAUSC addresses these concerns through established programs such as 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲‚ which offers reviewer materials and peer-to-peer tutorials on difficult concepts․ What began as tutoring for advanced subjects has since expanded to include courses like Calculus, reflecting the organization’s commitment to responding to student needs as they evolve.

To narrow the gap between theory and practice further‚ the organization developed 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗮: 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻𝘀․ The program is hosted by personnel from the aviation industry, such as the Philippine Air Force (AFP) and Lufthansa Technik Philippines, giving students a deeper understanding of how the field actually works․ Recognizing that being job-ready extends beyond a degree, SAEP-HAUSC is also considering a Basic Occupational Safety and Health (BOSH) Certification program, to equip students with practical skills and qualifications that further their careers.

Beyond academics, the organization is also preparing students for SEA Days, building momentum through training so opportunities remain both available and meaningful for participants. Looking ahead, SAEP-HAUSC has extracurricular projects in the pipeline as well, including Aeronight, the organization's induction ceremony, which aims to foster brotherhood and professionalism while encouraging continued growth in both academic and co-curricular life. The organization also runs an outreach program in partnership with the HAU Red Cross Youth Council—proof that its commitment to sustainability isn't about reinventing new programs, but about building on and improving the ones that already carry value.

All of these systems have to work together to keep things in the air‚ after all․ Flight is never one force․
