In the spirit of transparency and accountability, and as we continue to serve with integrity and truth, we are formally relaunching the official page of The Lifeline—the official student publication of the School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences.

Over the past two publication terms, the administrative access to The Lifeline’s official page has been limited to only one member of the publication. Despite the members’ best efforts, this restriction has notably hindered the timely release of news, updates, and relevant content. Hence, after carefully considering all possible recovery measures and extensive discussion and consultations with technical experts, institutional contacts, and the members of the editorial board, it has been concluded that establishing a new platform altogether is the most viable and sustainable solution.

While the publication recognizes the value of the engagements, historical content, and institutional presence that the former page has established, prioritizing the long-term operational efficiency, stability, and consistent accessibility necessitated this course of action.

The relaunch marks a continuation—not a departure—from The Lifeline’s commitment to truthful, responsible, and community-centered journalism. As we turn this new page, The Lifeline will remain steadfast in its mission to care for the people and dare for the truth.

The Lifeline invites its readers to stay connected and interact with the newly established page through the link below:

In this period of transition, we are truly grateful for your continued support and understanding. The Lifeline remains dedicated to being more than just a publication—it is your platform, your voice, and your partner in pursuit of truth.

As this editorial term comes to a close, we reflect on a year defined not only by output, but by purpose. It has been a term of bold strides—of rekindling traditions, launching new platforms, and responding to the heartbeat of a student body in constant motion. In every issue released and every voice amplified, The Lifeline remained anchored in the core values of truth-telling, relevance, and service.

This year, we did more than publish—we engaged, we empowered, and we evolved. From pioneering new formats and reviving long-silent folios, to bringing campus events to life through real-time coverage and creative storytelling, the publication stood as a dynamic space where journalism became both a mirror and a megaphone for the SNAMS community.

In all these efforts, one mission endured: to remain a student publication that listens bravely, speaks honestly, and serves meaningfully. We close this term with gratitude—for the trust extended, the stories shared, and the work yet to be done.

Care for the people, dare for the truth.

This May, as the world celebrates Nurses’ Month, we turn our gaze toward the quiet flames that never flicker—those held by the hands of nurses.

The Lifeline proudly unveils Under the Lamp—a special digital zine honoring the unwavering spirit of nurses and student nurses alike. Inspired by the enduring glow of Florence Nightingale’s lamp, this release pays tribute to those who carry its light forward—not only through corridors and hospital rooms, but through daily acts of compassion, courage, and care that so often go unseen.

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗜 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆

There are nights the hospital feels like a held breath—fluorescent, humming, half-asleep. I move through its quiet arteries, charting the slow unravel of bodies and the soft resistance of those not ready to go.

Fatigue lives in my bones now. Not loud, just... settled. A kind of knowing. The floor hums beneath my shoes, and I’ve forgotten how many steps I’ve taken today. Maybe hundreds. Maybe a thousand tiny promises to show up.

I’ve learned the sound of a heart breaking beneath a monitor’s flatline. I’ve stood beside sons who don’t know how to say goodbye and daughters who bring too many blankets, as if warmth could hold the dying here.

Still, I stay. Not because I don’t feel it—but because I do.

I’ve held hands that had nothing left to give. Spoken gently into the static between breaths. Pressed morphine pumps and mercy with equal care. I’ve watched the light leave eyes and returned to refill coffee, answer call bells, adjust pillows. No ceremony. Just presence.

My eyes are tired. But they are trained now—to notice the tremor before the fall, the silence before the storm. I’ve read entire stories in the way someone grips the rail of the bed, or won’t.

This is not heroism. It’s witness.

And somewhere between the bleeps and beeps, the coded silences, the ghost-light of the vending machines—I remind myself: I am still here.

And I do not look away.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗘: 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗪!

There is a cost to every choice we make at the ballot. Sometimes, it is counted in pesos—the price of a vote traded for a sack of rice. Other times, it is measured in futures—the school unbuilt, the flood unprevented, the rights unprotected. Most times, it is invisible: the creeping decay of our institutions, the dulling of our democratic spirit, the normalization of what we once promised never to allow again.

In the Philippines, we know the weight of elections all too well. We've seen how a single name on a ballot can shape generations. We've watched strongmen rise and promises collapse. We've felt the sting of regret when spectacle triumphed over substance, and hope dimmed beneath the shadow of the same familiar names.

The Price, The Lifeline’s National Elections 2025 Special Release, is a reckoning. With apathy. With compromise. With the easier path of settling for “lesser evils.”

Because the ballot is not a lottery ticket. It is a receipt—for the kind of country we choose to pay for with our silence, our complacency, or our courage.

On the eve of a decision that will define us, we offer not a guide, not a plea, but a mirror. This is for the voters silenced by cynicism, misled by myths, and numbed by mediocrity.

Before you shade a name tomorrow, ask yourself: What kind of future are you really paying for?

𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗧, 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗘

Two days is all the time that’s left before the nation makes a choice that will echo far beyond the polls.

Because a vote is not a favor. It is a responsibility. It is not for sale.

The ballot is the receipt of our nation’s moral spending. What have we been buying? And what will it cost us next time?

The cost of a vote has never been higher. In a few days, we confront the reckoning.

Watch closely. The Price is almost here.

We proudly celebrate the graduates from the School of Nursing and Allied Medical Sciences who not only served in the clinics, but also in the pages of The Lifeline.

From the wards to the written word, you stood at the frontlines of both care and truth. As members of The Lifeline, you did not only learn to heal—but also to speak, to write, and to stand for something greater. In every issue, every headline, every shared truth, you showed us that to care deeply is also to speak bravely.

As you step into the world as professionals, may your voices remain firm, your hearts steadfast, and your service rooted in truth.

In every path you tread, may you always carry the courage to care for the people—and the fire to dare for the truth.

𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱!

The Lifeline proudly extends its warmest congratulations to Batch 2025 on the successful completion of your academic journey as college students.

Representing the departments of Nursing, Medical Technology, and Radiologic Technology, you have not only met the rigors of your respective fields, but have also exemplified the integrity, empathy, and commitment that define true healthcare professionals. With every rotation, case study, laboratory hour, and clinical duty—you have earned more than credentials; you have earned the trust to serve.

Congratulations, SNAMS Batch 2025. You have made your mark—and now, you are ready to make a difference.

Sa panahong ang katotohanan ay minamaliit at ang mga tagapagdala nito'y binubusalan, ang pamamahayag ay hindi lamang propesyon—ito ay paglaban.

Ngayong Pandaigdigang Araw ng Kalayaan sa Pamamahayag, ipinagdiriwang natin ang lakas ng panulat, ang tapang ng katotohanan, at ang paninindigang hindi kailanman kayang patahimikin. Sapagkat sa isang lipunang pilit pinatatahimik, ang bawat mapagpalayang salita ay anyo ng paglaban, at ang bawat matapang na mamamahayag ay tagapagtanggol ng demokrasya.

Ang katotohanan ay hindi dapat natutulog sa takot—kailangan nitong mamuhay sa liwanag, sa papel, sa panulat, at sa paninindigan.

On April 22, 2025, the 19th Clinical Graduation honored the unwavering spirit of Batch 2025—a class shaped by resilience, long nights, and louder hearts.

As they turn the page, we asked them one thing: What will they miss the most as SNAMS student? From clinical duties to the kind of friendships forged only through shared exhaustion and triumph, their answers reveal a love letter to the life they built in SNAMS.

In this special episode of The Larynx, we listen in—not just to their voices, but to the echoes of a journey that changed them forever.

𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 | 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆

Today is Labor Day—a day not of mere celebration, but of resistance.

It is a day to confront the injustice that persists in every factory, field, hospital, and office. Workers are the lifeblood of this nation—yet they are silenced, exploited, and stripped of the dignity they rightfully deserve.

While the powerful amass wealth, the working class is burdened with low wages, unsafe conditions, and insecure livelihoods. Contractualization, repression, and systemic neglect are not unfortunate realities—they are designed outcomes of a system that thrives on inequality.

There is nothing to romanticize about labor without rights. Gratitude without justice is hollow. Praise without protection is performative.

Labor is not a cost—it is the foundation. Workers are not expendable—they are essential.

To stand with workers is to demand fair wages, humane conditions, job security, the right to unionize, and the freedom to live with dignity. These are not privileges—they are non-negotiable.

Mabuhay ang manggagawang Pilipino.
The fight for labor is the fight for our future—
and it does not end today. It begins every single day we rise.
