September 28, 2025—we celebrate World News Day.

In a modern society like ours, civilizations are no longer built with towering walls, vast lands, or the power they occupy. Instead, the true strength of a society rests on the flow of credible information from brave truth tellers. News serves as the foundation of informed communities and empowers citizens to make decisions with clarity and confidence.

In this day and age where misinformation is rampant and constantly divides people apart, news has become the safeguard of Democratic institutions and Democracy itself.

With that, let us, OLPSian-Paulinians absorb information with discernment, share with credibility, and guard the freedom of press in all corners of the world with our utmost vigilance. For when truth thrives, communities flourishes, and when it falters, democracy weakens.

"Pray, Hope, and Don't Worry."

Today, September 23, is the feast day of St. Padre Pio, an Italian Capuchin Friar who is known and venerated as a saint for his piety and charismatic spiritual gifts. This feast day allows us to celebrate his life and legacy as a follower of Christ.

Recognized for his miracles of healing and having various spiritual gifts, Padre Pio continues to inspire people all around the world to, reflected in his most memorable quote, place our faith and trust in God, and to not worry. In the end, all will be okay in Gods hands.

May St. Padre Pio's words encourage us to remain hopeful despite the current struggles in our life, and to trust God to the fullest.

IN PHOTOS | On September 21, 2025, OLPSian-Paulinians took part in the ‘A Trillion Peso March’ which was held at the EDSA People Power Monument.

Thousands of people joined the demonstration to call for accountability and justice over alleged corruption in flood control projects. Many carried placards and wore white with a white ribbon on the left side of their chest to symbolize their demand for transparency and honesty in government.

In the chants, and the songs, one message was made clear: the people will not be silent in the face of corruption.

The march showed that the voice of the people, when united, remains one of the nation’s strongest forces for change.

"For truth, for justice, for the people.”

Today marks the celebration of the 53rd anniversary of the Declaration of Martial Law, where our nation was promised transformation and renewal, but were met once again disastrous tragedies.

Back then, the people were met with violence, corruption, and widespread oppression during one of the darkest, most wretched chapters of Philippine history.

However, history repeats itself—as corrupt politicians live their lives in luxury while we drown in financial burdens. Let us remember these fragments of tragedies from the past as lessons for the youth. To stand up for what's right—for truth and justice!

EDITORIAL | The “A Trillion Peso March” is a moral reckoning, not a protest. By naming the guilty, by refusing to stay silent, Filipinos affirm that justice cannot remain a deferred promise. For in the eyes of God, corruption is not only a crime against the people but a grave sin against truth and charity.

To stand for justice is to stand with Christ, who sided with the poor and condemned the oppressors.

IN PHOTOS: On September 19, 2025, the OLPSian-Paulinian community marched in solidarity as they support the A Trillion Peso March through a solemn prayer, taking a stand against the severe injustice and corruption surfacing our country.

It’s the people’s voice rising against systematic corruption, calling for change and accountability. Ito ang panawagan ng bawat Pilipino: sapat na, tama na, at panahon na para sa tunay na pagbabago. Piso na dapat ay para sa edukasyon, kalusugan, at kabuhayan ng bawat Pilipino. Hindi lamang ito simpleng halaga, kundi kinabukasan ng bayan.
