In a values seminar with a theme โ€œBeyond the Self: Building Healthy Connections from Friendship to More Intimate Relationship,โ€ held at Kamalig Kalingangan Kabataan, Villarias discussed how awareness of someone's feelings can create stronger and healthier bonds.

She further emphasized the importance of recognizing family affection, levels of friendship, and the different forms of love, pointing out intimacy, passion, and commitment as vital elements in romantic ties.

โ€œMula sa seminar, nagkaroon ako ng self-reflection on how I donโ€™t look at othersโ€™ perspectives,โ€ said Kyrie D. Dela Cruz of Grade 11 STEMโ€“St. Joseph, admitting she realized how often she overlooks othersโ€™ perspectives. โ€œSo now, I will try na magbago.โ€

Janidah M. Ampuan of Grade 12 STEMโ€“Aquarius shared the same insight, saying that empathy and communication make relationships more meaningful when grounded in loyalty and respect.

Students who attended said the session allowed them to see relationships in a new light, reminding them that genuine connections, whether among families, friends, or partnersโ€”are nurtured by respect, empathy, and trust.

Furthermore, the seminar ended with a call for del Rosarians to carry these values into their everyday lives, making empathy, respect, and loyalty the foundation of their connections.

Grade 11 and 12 students of Tomas del Rosario College (TRC) gained deeper insights on building stronger relationships during a values seminar led by Rochelle R. Villarias on September 16, 2025, at Kamalig Kalinangang Kabataan (K*K).

The seminar, themed โ€œBeyond the Self: Building Healthy Connections from Friendship to More Intimate Relationship,โ€ emphasized empathy, communication, affection within families, types of friendships, and kinds of love with focus on romantic relationships.

Villarias highlighted that intimacy, passion, commitment, loyalty, and respect are essential in maintaining meaningful connections and should serve as the foundation before entering a relationship.

Writing the most pressing question paid off big time as Meg Gomez of The Perspective headlined as this year's senior high division champion of the Provincial-wide English News Writing Competition, Bataan Tourism Pavilion, September 16.

With an impressive article on flood control funds, Gomez topped the finest news writers in the province, bagging the title and cash prize of P8,000 pesos.

"At first, I didnโ€™t even hear my name, I only heard the school being announced, so I immediately started celebrating. It was only when I was told that it was me who won that it really sank in," said Gomez, after being announced as the winner.

Gomez' work was adjudged by former Manila Bulletin journalist Nestor Cuartero, this year's guest speaker and one of the judges in the competition.

โ€œBe the voice of the people,โ€ Gomez said, offering advice to aspiring student writers. โ€œEvery story you tell should shine a light on the truth and give voice to those who need it most.โ€

Meanwhile, in this season's tilt for best news writers, the Schools Division of Balanga City dominated all categories with six podium finishes, from junior high school to college level.

The second English News Writing Contest, held under Provincial Ordinance No. 19 (s. 2022), is part of English Proficiency Week, aimed at enhancing Bataeรฑosโ€™ English skills, fostering communication, and supporting academic and economic growth.

โ€œBago ako manghusga, magbahagi,โ€ Fr. Nathaniel Sergio Ma. Duran Jr., MMHC emphasized during his homily at the monthly Eucharistic celebration of Tomas del Rosario College (TRC) on September 12.

Held at 8 a.m. at the Kamalig Kalinangang Kabataan (K*K) gymnasium, the Mass was organized by the Diocesan Youth Ministry in Campus (DYMC) and attended by students and faculty members.

Fr. Duran asked the congregation, โ€œMabilis ka rin ba manghusga?โ€ as he reflected on how people easily fall into judgment.

He pointed out that society often highlights only the flaws of others and reminded the faithful of the importance of self-reflection by asking if they themselves were without shortcomings.

In his homily during the monthly Eucharistic celebration on September 12, Fr. Duran encouraged the del Rosarian community to reflect on conscience, morality, and the importance of self-examination.

โ€œMabilis ka rin ba manghusga? Once in a while, consciously or unconsciously, tayo ay nahuhulog sa right consciousness,โ€ Fr. Duran asked, urging attendees to question how often they rush to judge others.

Fr. Duran also shared the story of a young man who claimed his heart was perfect, only to learn from an elder with a scarred and patched heart that true beauty lies not in flawlessness but in the ability to love, forgive, and embrace imperfection.

โ€œWag nating pangarapin na ang puso natin ay walang sugat, na malinis lang; try to have a perfect heartโ€”when you learn to give, love,โ€ he added.

Fr. Duran encouraged the youth to practice the golden rule, choosing to share love rather than criticism, and to accept that everyone makes mistakes along their journey.

He reminded the TRC community that compassion and understanding matter more than judgment.

In celebration of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Diocesan Youth Ministry in Campus (DYMC) spearheaded a Living Rosary on September 8 at the Tomas del Rosario College (TRC) lobby.

The event, which began at 4 p.m., gathered students, faculty members, and youth leaders in a communal act of prayer and devotion.

Participants formed the shape of a rosary with 56 beads, with each person representing one bead in the prayer.

The Living Rosary ended with an inspiring reminder for students to nurture their Marian devotion not only within the campus but also in their everyday lives.

In a call for del Rosarians to carry the Marian devotion beyond campus and daily lives, the Diocesan Youth Ministry in Campus (DYMC) spearheaded the Living Rosary at the school lobby on September 8.

Offering a communal act of prayer and devotion, the TRC community gathered late afternoon praying the rosary, a tradition in the campus expressing gratitude to the birth of Mary.

The TRC-DYMC officers, together with student participants, formed a life-size rosary by holding the balloons, symbolizing not only prayer but also the unity of the school community.

โ€œThis year's celebration is different from the previous years. The activity aimed to make prayer more engaging for young people, believing that giving the rosary a new form could help teenagers appreciate it more deeply,โ€ said Kenner Garcia, the DYMC SHS adviser.

Meanwhile, Precious Anne Eunice Abella of 12 STEM โ€“ Aquarius said that holding the balloon gave her fulfillment and unity with others, adding that praying the rosary can also be creative and interactive.

โ€œAt first, itโ€™s kinda weird, kasi hindi siya โ€˜yung usual. Pero as the living rosary goes, I realized na kahit iba โ€˜yung form, the meaning and the point was thereโ€”prayer, connection, and honoring Virgin Mary,โ€ John Carl Sicat of 12 STEM โ€“ Ta**us shared.

Despite the rain and the lure of going home after classes, both Junior and Senior High School students stayed until the end of the living rosary, a perseverance that everyone saw as proof of true devotion and unity in serving God through Mary.

The TRC community, alongside family, colleagues, and fellow Bataeรฑos, came together at Plaza Antonino, Orani, Bataan on August 29โ€“30 to pay tribute to Consul Eduardo L. De Guzman, the 7th President of Tomas del Rosario College.

Through a two-day memorial service and exhibit, Consul Eddie was remembered in stories, photographs, and keepsakes that reflected his enduring impact on education, community service, and family life.

Though he has departed, his legacy continues to live on in the halls of TRC, in the province he loved, and in the many lives he touched with compassion and purpose.

๐Ÿ“Œ Relive the solemn tribute to a leader whose influence transcends time and place.

Malapit nang makumpleto ang mga opisyales ng Supreme Student Government (SSG) ng Senior High School (SHS) sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni SSG President Andrea Escarez matapos i-appoint ng Commission on Elections (COMELEC) ang apat sa limang natitirang posisyon noong Agosto 20 sa kanilang page.

Matatandaan na binuksan muli ng COMELEC ang mga bakanteng posisyon noong Agosto 10 matapos ang anim sa mga ito ang hindi umabot sa kinakailangang 50% na boto upang mailuklok.

Bagamat iisa lamang na partido ang umiral at naihalal sa nagdaang eleksyon, nananatiling isang anyo ng katatagan ang pagkakaroon ng mga student-lider na piniling tumindig at kumatawan para sa masang del Rosarians. Ngunit, ipinakita ng eleksyon na ito ang hindi magandang imahe ng demokrasya na nag-uugat sa kakulangan ng partisipasyon at paninindigan ng mga nag-aasam na mamuno sa paaralan.

Mahirap tanggapin ngunit sinasalamin lamang ng nasabing kampanya at halalan kung paano natin binibigyan ng kahulugan ang salitang โ€œpamantayanโ€, Ayon sa COMELEC, kung nais maglingkod ng isang estudyante bilang student lider, kailangang aabot ng 90% ang kaniyang general weighted average habang hindi bababa sa 85% ang kaniyang indibidwal na grado sa mga asignatura, may good moral character, at hindi nasasangkot sa anumang kasong pandisiplina. Sa katunayan, ibinaba pa ng COMELEC sa 80% ang orihinal na 85% na kinakailangang grado para lang mapagbigyan ang ibang nais kumandidato na makasama sa eleksyon.

Gayunpaman, nararapat ang pamantayang ito para masiguradong may sapat na disiplina ang bawat nagnanais kumandidato. Dahil dito, maraming potensiyal na lider ang natatabunanโ€”hindi dahil kulang sila sa kakayahang mamuno, kundi dahil hindi nila kayang punan ang kinakailangang grado upang makahabol. Sa kabila nito, ang kinahinatnan ng pagkakaroon ng iisang partido ay hindi kasalanan ng mga kumandidato dahil sila lamang ang nakapasok sa pinakamababang grade requirement.

Simpleng lohika sa pamantayan: tayo ay humanap ng magaling na lider. Ibig sabihin, kalakip ng pagiging isang lider-estudyante ang pagiging responsableng mag-aaral muna bago umako ng obligasyong mamuno sa mga kapwa mag-aaral. Isang kabalintunaan sa isang pinuno ang hindi nya naipapakita ang disiplinang akademiko at mabuting asal sa loob pa lamang ng silid-aralan.

Mula sa diwa ng demokrasya, hindi dapat natin maging kultura ang kawalan ng pagpipilian. Bagkus, ang sistema ng halalan kung saan iisang kandidato o partido lamang ang humahabol ay hindi dapat natin hayaang umiral sapagkat nililimitahan nito ang karapatan ng mga botante na pumili at magpahayag ng kanilang tunay na paninindigan.

Sa kabila nito, malinaw pa ring ipinakita at ginamit ng mga botanteng del Rosarian ang kanilang karapatan at tungkulin na maghalal. Ayon sa voter turnout nitong nagdaang halalan, halos lahat ay nakaboto, ngunit may iilan nga lamang sa ILAW partylist ang hindi naging swak sa panlasa ng nakararami para iboto ng mga estudyanteโ€”isang bagay na hindi dapat isisi sa mga botante na nagsusuri.

Kung titingnan natin, sa higit kumulang na 500 na estudyante ng SHS, labing-isa lamang ang naglakas ng loob na maging parte ng halalan. Nasaan na ang ibang mga del Rosarians sa mikro-politikal na aspeto ng paaralan natin? Nagtatago nga lang ba, walang pakialam, o sadyang mababa lamang ang pagtingin nila sa konsepto ng eleksyonโ€“ katulad ng lipunan nating naghahalal ng mga tao sa gobyerno dahil wala na silang pagpipilian?

Nakababahala na sa loob ng apat na magkasunod na taon, nananatiling iisang partido lamang ang tumatakbo sa halalan ng senior high school department. Tila nahirati na tayo sa elektoral na kulturang hindi tayo nagsasala ng mga personalidad dahil sa kawalan ng politikal na partisipasyon at pagnanais mula sa mga posibleng lider-del Rosarian. Tandaan natin na mahalaga sa pamumuno ang koneksyon. Sa ganitong gawain tulad ng paghalal ng mga lider, pinahihina ng mga one-party system na eleksyon ang ugnayan ng mga partido sa kanilang mga nasasakupan.

Pinipili ng mga botante ang mga lider na pasok sa kanilang ideyalismo, paniniwala, at mga hangarin. Sa halip na maging tunay na tagapagsalita ng nakararami, ang nag-iisang kandidato ay nagiging simbolo ng sistemang pormalidad na lamang ang halalan. Kasabay nito, ang pagkakaroon ng iisang partido ay naglilimita sa palitan ng ideya at plataporma na isang pundasyon ng makabuluhang eleksiyon. Dahil dito, unti-unting nawawalan ng interes ang mga estudyante na makilahok sa proseso, sapagkat pakiramdam nilaโ€™y wala silang tunay na pagpipilian.

Ayon sa isang artikulo ng Tinig ng Plaridel, ang opisyal na pahayagan ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas Diliman College of Mass Communication, noong 2023, ilang yunit ng UP System gaya ng UP Los Banos, UP Manila, at UP Open University ang nakaranas ng dose-dosenang posisyong hindi napunan sa mga student council na sumasalamin sa kawalan ng sapat na pagpipilian para sa mga botante. Dahil sa sitwasyong ito, maraming estudyante ang hindi na nakikilahok sa eleksyon sapagkat hindi nila nakikita ang halaga ng pagboto kung wala namang pagpipilian.

Dagdag pa rito, malaking pagkaantala sa pagsisimula ng pamumuno ang pagpunan sa mga posisyon dahil kinakailangan ng isa pang halalan. Sa kasaysayan ng TRC-SHS mula taong 2022 hanggang 2024, pwersadong nagsagawa ng ikalawang halalan ang COMELEC na nagiging isang malaking abala sa iskedyul ng mga g**o at mag-aaral. Kinakailangan ang muling halalan upang matiyak na mapupunan ang lahat ng posisyon at nang tunay na masalamin ng mga kinatawan ang kagustuhan ng nakararami. Bagamaโ€™t mahalaga ang prosesong ito, katumbas nito ang pagaa-aksaya ng mga kagamitan tulad ng papel, oras, at pagod na maaari sanang magamit sa ibang mahahalagang gawain ng paaralan.

Higit sa lahat, ang oras na sanaโ€™y inilalaan na ng mga naluklok sa paghahanda ng mga gawain at programa para sa kanilang mga nasasakupan ay nasasayang lamang sa paghihintay. Sa buong buwan ng Agosto, noong huling linggo pa lamang nito naisagawa ng SSG ang kanilang unang pagpupulong

Hindi tinatanggal ng COMELEC at ng paaralan ang karapatan ng isang aplikante na humabol para sa pamumuno. Subalit kung makakasanayan natin na wala tayong pagpapahalaga sa pamantayan at patuloy isasagawa ang mga halalang hindi nag-uudyok ng matalinong pagpili, wala tayong pinag-iba sa mga matatandang botante na nagtitiis sa matagal nang bulok na sistemang elektoral ng bansa. Hindi natin namamalayan, malaki ang epekto ng mga bagay na hindi natin napapansin. Dahil walang kalaban, maaaring maging kampante o hindi na magsikap ang mga kandidato. Maaari nilang hindi seryosohin ang plataporma o ang paglilingkod.

Oras na para magkaroon ng kultura ng bolunterismo at pakikibahagi. Gaya ng ibang mga student government sa ibang paaralan, kolehiyo, at unibersidad, buuin natin ang mga volunteer group upang mabigyan ng pagkakataon na magkaroon ng mga katuwang ang bawat miyembro ng mga opisyales ng SSG. Sa ganitong paraan, maaaring magsanay ng mga potensiyal na lider na maaaring mamuno sa mga susunod na panahon, mula sa pagbuo ng ideya at reyalistikong pagtanaw sa kung ano ang tunay na trabaho ng isang lider.

Maaari ring magsimula ng mga leadership seminar at skills training na magbibigay ng kaalaman at kumpiyansa sa mga mag-aaral na may interes ngunit nag-aatubiling lumahok. Dagdag pa rito, maaari ring maglunsad ng mga mentorship program kung saan ang mga dating opisyal ng SSG ay gagabay sa susunod na henerasyon ng mga lider. Ang ganitong mga inisyatiba ay nakatutulong hindi lamang sa paghikayat ng mga kandidato kundi pati na rin sa pagpapatibay ng masiglang partisipasyonng buong komunidad ng mga mag-aaral.
โ€‹โ€‹
Ang eleksiyon ay daan tungo sa demokrasyaโ€” ngunit hindi lang isang simpleng boto at balota ang halalan. Ito ay pagkilos at kapangyarihang bumuo ng pamumuno na tunay na para sa masa. Simulan nating mga del Rosarian sa sarili nating bakuran ang matagal na hiling ng mga Pilipino sa sarili nating bansa: ang pagkakaroon ng halalang may mataas na pagtingin sa pamantayan, ang pagtindig sa matalinong pagboto, at ang pagsilang ng mga lider at partido na mayroong tunay na malasakit at pagpapahalaga sa kanyang pinagsisilbihan.
