Maligayang Araw ng Kasarinlan, Pilipinas! 🕊️🇵🇭

Sa likod ng kalayaang ating ipinagdiriwang ay libo-libong pusong huminto upang magpatuloy ang tibok ng bayan. Mga pamilyang naulila, pangarap na isinakripisyo, at mga tinig na tumahimik para muling marinig ang tinig ng sambayanan.

Ngayon, habang iwinawagayway natin ang ating watawat, nawa'y maramdaman natin ang bigat at ginhawa ng ating kasaysayan—ang bigat ng mga sakripisyong naghatid sa atin dito, at ang ginhawa ng pag-asang may patutunguhan pa ang ating pakikibaka.

Also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” Eid al-Adha is one of the most important celebrations for our Muslim brothers and sisters.

It reminds us of the story of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), who was willing to sacrifice his son as a sign of obedience to Allah. But before it could happen, Allah sent a ram to sacrifice instead — a powerful symbol of faith, trust, and devotion.

In the Philippines, Eid al-Adha is a national holiday to honor and respect the traditions and beliefs of Filipino Muslims, under Proclamation 911.

BNHS-SSLG wishes our Muslim Brothers and Sisters a peaceful, meaningful, and blessed Eid!

Let’s continue to celebrate diversity, respect one another’s beliefs, and stand united.

“𝙃𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙖 𝙢𝙪𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙜 𝙙𝙤𝙤𝙣 𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙠𝙨𝙮𝙤𝙣. 𝙄𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙠𝙤 𝙠𝙖𝙮 𝙙𝙖𝙬 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙤 𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙜.”

‘Yan ang unang pumunit sa katahimikan ng umaga ko. Mainit pa ang kape sa tasa, pero mas mainit ang pakiramdam ko sa narinig ko.

Para bang binuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig habang tinutudla ng tanong: Pera-pera nalang ba talaga? Wala na bang saysay ang mga plataporma ng bawat kandidato para sa Halalan? Ganito na ba talaga kababaw ang pamantayan ng boto ngayon?

Masakit. Nakakagalit. Nakakahiya.

Tila ba ang boto ay naging sukatan ng presyo, hindi ng prinsipyo. Parang tindahan na ang halalan, may bentahan, may palitan, may patagong transaksyon. Ngunit ang pinaka nakakabahala? Tanggap na ito ng marami. Tanggap na ang mali, basta may makuha. Basta may barya, may kandidato.

Ito ang mukha ng eleksyon sa mata ng marami, hindi isang sagradong tungkulin, kundi isang palabas. Isang bentahan ng dangal. Isang patimpalak ng kasinungalingan kung saan ang pinakamabango ang bulsa, siya ang may trono.

Kaming mga kabataan, hindi pa nga kami makakaboto, pero alam na namin kung sino ang iboboto ng karamihan. At alam din namin kung bakit. Kasi may bigas, may balde at tabo, at may isanlibo.

At kahit hindi pa kami botante, ramdam na ramdam na namin ang bulok na kalakaran. Hindi pa kami bahagi ng talaan ng mga botante, pero kitang-kita na naming kung sino ang itutulak pataas, hindi dahil may kakayahan, kundi dahil may pambayad. Hindi dahil may plataporma, kundi dahil may palimos.

Hindi kailangang may tinta sa hintuturo para magkaroon ng tinig. Hindi kailangang may balota para magsabi ng totoo. Dahil kami ang susunod na henerasyon na magdurusa sa mga maling desisyong ginagawa ngayon. At kung patuloy tayong magbubulag-bulagan, baka sa huli, wala nang matirang dangal sa sistemang minsan nating pinangarap na baguhin.

Mga kapwa ko kabataan, tayo ang magpapanday ng kinabukasan. Sa panahon ng halalan, hindi tayo palamuti. Hindi tayo tahimik na tagamasid. Tayo ang apoy na dapat magpagising sa natutulog na diwa ng bayan.

Bilang kabataan, dapat tayong maging mata ng mga bulag sa katotohanan, tinig ng mga natutulog sa sistema, at konsensya ng mga nakalimot kung para saan talaga ang boto. Hindi ito bentahan. Isa itong karapatan na dapat ginagamit hindi para sa sarili, kundi para sa bayan.

Maging mapanuri, makialam, at magtanong. Huwag basta maniwala sa ngiti at pangakong matatamis. Tumingin sa gawa, hindi sa galaw. Tumimbang ng puso, hindi ng sobre.

At kung darating ang araw na tayo na ang may hawak ng boto, itaga natin sa bato: Hindi tayo magpapagamit. Hindi tayo magpapabili. At hindi tayo magiging kasangkapan ng kabulukan.

Sapagkat ang halalan ay hindi dapat pinaglalaruan. Ito ay laban para sa kinabukasan. At sa laban na ito, ang kabataan ang pinakamahalagang sandata ng pag-asa.

I didn’t get awards, but I got something better.

I didn’t always get called up front. I was never someone who graced the stage. Medals felt extraterrestrial around my neck, and there weren't many certificates that spelled my name. But what I held dearly, while glancing at the chairs we set up for graduation practice, was far more valuable than any paper or metal scrap.

I held... me.

Somewhere between the piling of research papers and the silence of skepticism, I found out who I was becoming. I felt a spark — one that allowed me to see myself in a totally different way. The kind that shows up at the very last minute, like a sentry thought attempting to calm a mind on the edge of breaking down.

As if an avalanche rushing at me slowly turned into stairs — I saw the value I never thought I measured up to.

I learned the real worth of my journey — not through countless awards or niche praises — but through moments of quiet perseverance. It’s in the things I truly deserved. Like showing up when no one else did. Like the friendship I earned from the tinderas at the canteen.

I understood the weight of my value. I realized that in order to thrive, I shouldn’t be so hard on myself just because of a few words from people who barely contribute to my life. I thank them for pushing me toward growth, but it’s the friends I am indebted for staying true to the person I am.

I discovered boundaries I never knew I needed. I held hands with the manliest of guys and the meanest of girls. I learned when to step in — and when to step back. That gave depth to my character. It raised the quality of the person I was becoming.

I discovered passions I didn’t know I had, talents I didn’t think I owned, and the courage to chase dreams that once felt too far away.

And while others may take home plaques and honors — I carry something just as precious: the knowledge that I am capable. That I’ve grown. That I’ve won wars no certificate could ever describe.

This journey wasn’t about being the best.

It was about becoming better — stronger, kinder, more self-aware.

No, I may not have gold to show for these years, but I will walk away with something gold can’t buy:

The triumphant, and most promising version of... me.

Yes, I didn’t get awards.
But I got something better.
