Ang mga bayani ay hindi lamang matatagpuan sa mga aklat ng kasaysayan. Sila ay nabubuhay sa bawat Pilipinong pumipili ng katapangan, sakripisyo, at pagmamahal sa bayan.

Ang Araw ng mga Pambansang Bayani ay ipinagdiriwang upang magbigay-pugay sa mga sakripisyo, katapangan, at mga kontribusyon ng mga Pilipino, kilala man o hindi, na lumaban at patuloy na lumalaban para sa kalayaan at katarungan ng bansa. Sila ay nagbigay-inspirasyon sa ating mga Pilipinong lumaban sa pang-aapi ng mga dayuhan tulad nina Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Melchora Aquino, Diego at Gabriela Silang at marami pang ibang taong mahalaga sa kultura ng ating bansa.

Ipinapaalala sa atin na ang kabayanihan ay hindi lamang limitado sa mga pahina ng kasaysayan. Ito ay nabubuhay sa katapangan na manindigan para sa tama, sa kahandaang maglingkod sa iba, at sa determinasyon na gumawa ng pagbabago kahit sa pinakamaliit na paraan. Inialay ng ating mga pambansang bayani ang kanilang buhay at pangarap para sa kalayaan at kasarinlan na ating tinatamasa ngayon.

Ang kanilang mga kwento ay maaaring kabilang sa nakaraan, ngunit ang kanilang katapangan ay patuloy na humahamon sa atin na maging mga bayani sa ating sariling panahon, ngayong henerasyon.

Mabuhay ang mga bayaning Pilipino!

On the beaten path I’ve long tread
Many a word have I heard said
But know no fear, for every face
That I have glimpsed does leave a trace

To every man who does come by
From commonfolk to those praised high
Salutations to those who tread
May their passions fly far from dead

On August 24, the SJI community gathered to warmly welcome and honor Caera Celis in recognition of her historic Alas Pilipinas debut at the Girls’ U17 World Championships 2026.

As a token of appreciation and celebration, a bouquet was presented to her at the morning assembly by Level 4 Department Head Ms. Crisper Adera, Sports Coordinator Ms. Martha Araneta, and School Principal Dr. Maridel Isulat.

To conclude the commemoration, the young athlete expressed her gratitude through a meaningful speech, thanking everyone who supported her throughout her journey in Chile.

During a short interview, Caera said, “Knowing that I can inspire someone is something I’m really grateful for. And for anyone following their dreams, just keep going; trust the process. It may not always be easy, but everything will be worth it someday. You never know how far your dreams can take you.”

Her words serve as an inspiring reminder to the entire Johnian community that with perseverance, discipline, and faith one could reach his or her dreams.

Ngayong taon, ang tema para sa buwan ng Agosto ay “Wikang Filipino at AI: Kasangkapan sa Pananaliksik at Tulay sa Yaman ng Impormasyon.” Makabago, oo. Napapanahon, oo.

Ang wikang Filipino ay hindi lamang koleksiyon ng salita o kasangkapan sa paghahatid ng impormasyon. Nasa loob nito ang ating kasaysayan, kultura, pagkakakilanlan, at mga kuwentong nabubuhay dahil may mga Pilipinong patuloy na nagsasalita at lumilikha. Nariyan ang “po” at “opo,” mga kuwentong paulit-ulit na isinasabi ng ating mga lolo at lola, mga salitang walang eksaktong salin sa ibang wika, at mga ekspresyong tanging kapwa Pilipino lamang ang tunay na makauunawa. Ang wikang Filipino ay hindi lamang ginagamit upang maghatid ng impormasyon o magpahayag ng saloobin, kaisipan at damdamin, ngunit ito ay isang simbolo ng ating pagka-Pilipino.

Sa paglipas ng panahon, sumisibol ang mga bagong pamamaraan at teknolohiya at ang wikang Filipino ay saksi sa maraming pagbabago. Isa na rito ang artificial intelligence o AI. Sa ilang pindot, kayang bumuo ng AI ng sanaysay, tula, larawan, o disenyo. Ang estudyanteng ilang oras naghanap ng tamang salita. Ang dibuhistang paulit-ulit binura ang kaniyang guhit. Ang manunulat na inayos ang isang pangungusap hanggang tuluyan wala na itong maipahayag ang kanyang iniisip. Ang mga ito ay masusolusyonan ng AI.

Sa totoo lang, ang tunay na ganda ng isang likha ay hindi lamang nasa kinalabasan, kundi sa taong mismong nasa likod nito. Kapag hinahayaan nating ang AI ang magsulat, gumuhit, at mag-isip para sa atin, maaaring maging mas mabilis ang paggawa, ngunit kasabay nito ang unti-unting pagkawala ng sariling imahinasyon at tinig… ang proseso at damdaming nararanasan natin habang tayo ay nagsusulat o gumuguhit.
At dito nakikita ang kabalintunaan: sa pagdiriwang ng wikang nagbibigay sa atin ng sarili nating boses, bakit natin ito ipinauubaya sa isang bagay na walang sariling tinig?

Sa ngayon, hindi mapipigilan ang puwersa ng AI. Kailangan nating bigyan ng limitasyon ang mga ganitong uri ng teknolohiya at pagbabago. Maaari itong maging tulay sa pagpapayabong ng Wikang Filipino kapag ginamit sa pananaliksik at pagbibigay ng tamang impormasyon. Kailangan ito ng mga Pilipinong patuloy na nahihirapang gamitin ang nasabing wika, nahihirapang magsasalita, sumulat, lumikha, at magkuwento sa Wikang Filipino. Kaya, dapat nating isaalang- alang ang orihinal na kaisipan, ang tunay na kahulugan, ang ating pagkamalikhain o di kaya kakayahang gumawa ng mga sariling dibuho o mga likhang tunay at walang bahid ng AI. Kayang magsulat ng AI sa Filipino, pero hindi nito kayang maging isang kapwa Pilipino.

Sa huli, hindi teknolohiya ang dapat magpasya kung ano ang kaya nating likhain; tayo pa rin. Nasa atin pa rin ang solusyon at pasya. Dahil ang tunay na suliranin ay hindi ang pag-agaw ng AI sa kapangyarihan, kundi ang pagpili nating pangalagaan ang teknolohiya habang unti-unting umaasa sa gawa niya. Ngayon, habang gumagawa ka ng iyong takdang aralin sa asignaturang Filipino, kay AI ka na lang ba hihingi ng saklolo?

In a thrilling 3-1 win, the Alas Pilipinas narrowly edged out Czechia in the 2026 FIVB Volleyball Girls' U17 World Championship held at the prestigious Parque Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile on August 16.⁣
⁣
Czechia immediately set the tone from the get go, establishing an early 4-0 lead in the early stages of the first set. But the Philippines didn't dare give up and fought back but in the end, they lost 21 - 25.⁣
⁣
The second set saw more action from both sides as they went back and forth, trading blows left and right. Neither could pull into the lead convincingly, but the Philippines rallied and eventually won the second set 25-22 to tie the game 1-1.⁣
⁣
Continuing their good run of form from the last set, the Philippines went ahead and never looked back. At one point they were up by 8 points and dominated the rest of the third frame, comfortably taking the set 25-14 to sn**ch a 2–1 match lead.⁣
⁣
Refusing to go down without a fight, Czechia rallied together and mounted a spirited push in the fourth set, keeping the score within striking distance through a tense back-and-forth battle. However, the Philippines’ star attacker Caera Celis proved to be the difference-maker, delivering critical points late in the frame to finish with a game-high 25 points. Alas Pilipinas held off the late rally, closing out the set 25–22 to lock up the historic victory.⁣
⁣
The hard-fought win secured a 15th-place finish for the Nationals, marking the Philippines' highest-ever placement in any FIVB Volleyball World Championship tournament.⁣

Ninoy Aquino was a courageous Filipino leader who spent his life fighting for democracy and fairness. He grew up in a well-known political family, achieved many accomplishments at a young age, and became one of the most famous voices against the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos.⁣

Ninoy Aquino was born on November 27, 1932, in Concepcion, Tarlac. Ever since he was young, he had achieved remarkable accomplishments at an early age. As a young adult, he worked as a war journalist for the Manila Times and covered the Korean War. He received the prestigious Philippine Legion of Honor for his reporting and later became mayor of Concepcion, Tarlac, in 1955. He was elected vice governor of Tarlac in 1959 and became governor in 1961. In 1967, he was elected as a senator. When Ninoy served in the Senate, he became a strong critic of President Ferdinand Marcos and the martial law government. He spoke out against the government and became an important figure in the opposition. He was also remembered for his statement, “The Filipino is worth dying for.”⁣

On August 21, 1983, Ninoy was assassinated at the Manila International Airport shortly after returning to the Philippines after three years in the United States. He was shot and killed at the Manila International Airport shortly after arriving. His tragic death shocked the nation, and thousands of people paid their respects during his wake and funeral. His assassination became an important event that helped strengthen opposition to the Marcos dictatorship. In 1986, the People Power Revolution led by Filipinos, including his widow, Corazon Aquino, ended Marcos’ rule and brought Corazon Aquino to the presidency. Today, the airport where Ninoy was assassinated is named Ninoy Aquino International Airport in his honor. His legacy continues to live on among Filipinos as a symbol of courage and the fight for democracy.⁣

Ninoy Aquino Day is a special non-working holiday celebrated every year on August 21. This holiday marks the death anniversary of former Senator “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., who was assassinated at the Manila International Airport on August 21, 1983. His death became a turning point in the country’s history and helped strengthen the movement against the Marcos dictatorship, which eventually led to the People Power Revolution in 1986. This holiday commemorates the life, sacrifice, and democratic legacy of Ninoy Aquino. ⁣

Nagsagawa ang The Falcon Quarterly ng workshop na pinamagatang “The Falcon’s Ink: Writing for Change” para sa mga batang mamamahayag ng SJI Falcon upang lalong linangin ang kanilang mga kasanayan at talento habang papalapit ang Division School Press Conference (DSPC).

Idinaos ang nasabing aktibidad noong Agosto 15 sa SJI Little Theatre, kung saan nag-imbita ang nasabing organisasyon ng mga tagapagsalita na eksperto sa larangan ng campus journalism na kinabibilangan nina Bb. Paula Mae Villarosa at G. Karl Brian Marqueza upang hasain ang mga pamamaraan sa pagsulat, paggawa ng "cartoon", photojournalism, at broadcasting ng mga Falcon.

Bukod sa pagpapahusay ng kanilang mga kasanayan, muli ring ipinapaalala sa kanila ang mga wastong katangian ng isang campus journalist, habang ipatupad sa kanila ang integridad, katapatan, at pagiging orihinal.

Samantala, magtatagisan ang mga nasabing miyembro para maging kalahok sa taunang DSPC.

Hindi lamang ito tungkol sa paghasa ng talento, isa rin itong pagkakataon para sa mga Falcon na makisalamuha at makipagugnayan sa isa’t isa.

Matagumpay na naisagawa ng The Falcon Quarterly ang taunang Falcon’s Ink o ang Writeshop Project para sa campus journalism.

Nilahukan ng iba’t ibang cluster ng nasabing organisasyon, ang mga miyembro ay nagkaroon ng malawak na kaalaman tungkol sa Republic Act 7079 o mas kilala sa Campus Journalism Act, pagsusulat ng balita, lathalain, editoryal, kolum, at photojournalism.

Layunin ng workshop na magturo ng bagong kasanayan at ihanda ang mga miyembro na sumabak sa mga paligsahan tulad ng Division Schools Press Conference.

Kaya naman, ihanda na ang sariling sumabak sa isang hamon— ang Falcon Press Conference 💙

Sino kaya ang makakatanggap na pagkilala bilang Most Promising o Promising Writers, Cartoonists, o Broadcasters?🎖️
