Sa ngalan ni Jose Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda, kaisa ng mga bayani, ay nakamit ng lupang sinilangan ang kasarinlang siglo-siglo ng pasakit ang inabot sa pananakop ng mga Espanyol.

Ang kanyang pagkamartir ang siyang gumising sa diwa ng himagsikan na nagmula sa sandatang matinta at mga pahinang may mukhang mapagpalaya upang isulat ang damdamin ng bayan.

Sa paggunita ng araw na ito, ang kabayanihan ng dakilang ilustrado ay nagpapahiwatig ng katapangan upang tuligsain ang anumang katiwalian sa pamamahala noon man o ngayon.

After three semesters and multiple reschedules, Bataan Peninsula State University - Main Campus has finally held its annual recognition rites to recognize students for their academic excellence this Thursday, December 18, at Sari-Gamit Court.

With the theme, "Pagkilala 2025: Karunungan at Kabutihan, Ilaw sa Bagong Henerasyon, the ceremony covers the distribution of academic awards and recognitions for the two semesters of the previous academic year 2024-2025.

Almost 2400 students, from all colleges of the Main Campus, gathered at the venue and were awarded on stage with their dean’s list certificates.

Guest speaker Alumnus Mr. Norlie C. Castro was invited as the commencement speaker of the ceremony and shared in his speech the definition and essence of success, and utilizing what students have for communal impact.

“Success is not measured by how high you rise, but by how many people you uplift along the way. Use your knowledge to serve, your voice to inspire, and your values to lead,” Castro said.

He also emphasised the importance of education, and how pursuing academics knows no age, as he shared his college experiences of multiple hurdles and repeats, encouraging learners to continue despite circumstances.

In addition, University President Dr. Ruby Santos-Matibag, in her speech, acknowledged the academic efforts of learners and reminded them of how they will represent the university in the future in their chosen professions.

“Mas masarap pa rin i-recognize kayo na kayo ay kabilang sa mga mabubuting peninsulares at kayo ay mapabilang soon sa mga professionals na ilalabas namin sa community na laging-laging proud kami at nagtapos kayo sa Bataan Peninsula State University.” Matibag said.

Further, due to the large number of awardees, the recognition rites were held as a whole-day program accommodating the College of Allied Health and Sciences, the College of Business and Accountancy, and the College of Computer Studies in the morning, while recipients from the College of Arts, the College of Engineering and Architecture, and the College of Technology in the afternoon.

Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Organization of Scholars (DOS) from Bataan Peninsula State University Main Campus pursued the application of sustainable concepts and ideas to innovations to support socio-economic growth in the community in their event Iskonnovation 2.0, this December 15, at Main Campus.

Themed “Shaping Minds and Building Futures for Socio-Economic Growth Through Innovations,” this event is in partnership with several university-accredited organizations and external institutions, which were participated by delegates from various local public high schools, and more DOST scholars from BPSU Balanga and Dinalupihan Campus.

Attendees of the event engaged in a three-phase program that featured an interactive science exhibit, a sustainability seminar, and an ideathon workshop.

BPSU-DOS President Marcus Dwayne R. Laoit emphasized the impact of innovation on individual lives, in the community, and how it shapes the future of the nation.

"Lahat tayo dito is investment para sa ating bansa. All the innovations that we do, all the research is for the people and to help them. So, napakalaking bagay ang isang innovation para magkaroon ng impact sa buhay ng isang tao.” Laoit said.

Further, phase one highlighted an Interactive Science, Research, and Technology Exhibit at the Sustainability Park, wherein university organizations such as Red Cross Youth, CSI: Earth, Institute of the Electronic Engineers in the Philippines, Society of Industrial Engineering Students, displayed their own models and prototypes which portrays concepts for sustainability and innovation, which can be applied in real-world situations.

Following the exhibit, a sustainability seminar focused on discussions linking technology to community impact, design thinking, and effective project pitching was held on the 3rd Floor of the University Library as the second phase of the program.

Research and Innovation on Climate Change and Sustainability Center Manager Jonna Abistado-Biong talked about translating ideas into local action during her keynote, specifically noting the progressive healing of the ozone layer and commending the sustainable movements made by the community.

“These greenhouse gases interact with the ozone layer. Kinakain nya yung ozone layer, pero may good news because our ozone layer is already healing. Thanks to different organizations, kabataan na tumutulong para ma-reduce natin ang ating emissions.” Biong mentioned.

In addition, the session continued with other talks from Technology Entrepreneurship and Transfer Office Engr. Camay Villeroz who introduced design thinking as a tool for real-world problem-solving and Dean of the College of Engineering and Architecture Engr. Rigor Regalado, who provided his expertise as he talked about effective ways of pitching concepts to help students communicate their ideas with confidence.

As an application, the delegates then participated in an Ideathon workshop as the third phase of the event, where they were grouped to collaborate, brainstorm, and develop innovative project proposals, which were later presented in a fast-paced pitching session.

Moreover, this is the second conduct of the program, as DOS aims to continue Iskonnovation as an annual initiative of the organization, promoting the same advocacy to youth and to the Peninsulares.

Students are still gathering at the campus registrar to enroll despite the official start of classes for the second semester yesterday, December 15.

Since 8:00 AM, Joshua*, from College of Engineering and Architecture has been waiting in line for five hours to claim his pre-registration form, he said that the sudden appointment lengthened students flocking the registrar line.

“Viable naman sana siya if aayusin ‘yung scheduling, kaso ang nangyari is parang nasisiksik sa isang linggo lang lahat ng students,” he shared.

On the other hand, for Grace* of College of Allied Health Sciences, this enrollment set-up concerns her as the second semester classes commenced.

“Nakakakaba na po kasi start na rin ng classes tapos pumipila pa rin po [kami],” she shared.

According to the Collegiate Academic Calendar, the enrollment season for the second semester is from November 24 to December 6.

Meanwhile, despite the announcement of initial enrolment extension until December 11, University Registrar Ferdinand Santos said that the continued extension is due to overdue grade encoding and scheduling conflicts for colleges.

“So, una dapat encoded and posted ang grades, dapat encoded na rin ang class schedules by the colleges, tapos ‘yung table of fees dapat naka-input na sa ating system,” he said.

In an interview, Santos also said that while the Office of the University Registrar is facilitating the enrollment, it also needed certain requirements from different offices and colleges to settle students’ enrollment schedule, and hence, provide an appointment.

“The registrar’s office is the one facilitating the enrollment but bago namin ma-facilitate ang enrollment, there are certain offices and individuals that we need to [coordinate with]. So, kung paano kikilos ang mga concerned offices and colleges, hindi na namin mako-control 'yun,” Santos said.

Meanwhile, the office is still expecting until this week to cater students who have yet to enroll and will coordinate closely with the Vice President for Academic Affairs to provide intervention for the following enrollments.

“As much as possible we want to deliver the services na ine-expect nila kaya lang talagang somehow there’s a failure doon sa ibang parts na hindi na namin mako-control, kaya all we are asking is the understanding ng ating mga estudyante,” Santos ended.

On this sacred day, various churches and communities across the globe honor the conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, believed to be pure and sinless from her very first moment in the womb of her mother, St. Anne.

Recognized as a Holy Day of Obligation and a Solemnity, the annual celebration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception every December 8 symbolizes a day of reflection for the Catholic Church and its members, honoring the grace of God in preparation for the Incarnation of His Son, Jesus Christ.

May this day serve as a moment for its followers and believers to reconnect with their virtues and faith amidst the many social challenges of today’s society.

More training preparation and potential lineup changes for next year's stint are being eyed by the Center for Culture and Arts (CECA) as Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) dropped to 10th place during the Regional Culture and Arts Festival (RCAF) 2025.

Prior to the RCAF, the delegates underwent a 10-day intensive training in which CECA Director Laarni Canare admitted to be insufficient for the competition.

“Siguro ang kakulangan pa natin ay marami pang trainings. Doon tayo mag-focus kasi pagalingan na eh. Kaya dapat mag-focus tayo sa marami pang trainings nitong darating na [RCAF] 2026 bago tayo sumabak sa CAASUC. Hindi na lamang 10-days rigid training, dagdagan pa natin, [kasi] kung tutuusin, hindi talaga sapat ‘yung 10 days,” Canare said.

Additionally, Canare highlighted the need to reorganize in order to strengthen the roster for the next RCAF season to be held at Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology.

To address this, Vice President for Student Affairs and Services (VPSAS) Adrian Perdio called for a post-evaluation meeting among delegates and coaches on December 10 and 11, to review the recent performance of the university and identify the concerns, gaps, and recommendations.

“Siguro ‘yung paghahandang gagawin namin ni VPSAS [ay] gawing focus ‘yung [RCAF] 2026. Kasama ko si VPSAS sa pag-alegro para kung ano man ang kakulangan ay ‘yun ang pupunan sa 2026, para makabawi tayo sa ating pagbaba [ng ranking],” Canare shared.

She also debunked the on-going talks about budget constraints for the delegates and clarified that there were certain processes that should be taken into account such as undergoing through the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) in bidding for suppliers of materials and costumes to be used by the delegates, in line with the Republic Act 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act.

“May kakulangan tayo sa pagpaplano mostly sa costume… [Pero] may pera naman ang CECA, naka-plano kasi yan eh. Bago kami magpatuloy sa trabaho, may planning yan. Ilalagay mo sa plan mo yung lahat ng kailangan. So syempre meron kang ma-a-approve kung magkano iyan. So, sa madaling sabi, planado. Walang problema. Approve. Hindi pwedeng hindi—approve,” Canare said.

Furthermore, Canare assured that proper planning and preparations will be done for the latter years of RCAF, highlighting that despite the results, the culture and arts of the BPSU community will always be active.

“Hindi lang naman ‘yung event o ‘yung competition ang pinagtutuunan natin. Kasi ‘yung iba baka akalain hanggang event lang tayo or through competition. Ang arts and culture ay laging buhay sa BPSU, dahil ang mga bata natin, magagaling. Naniniwala ako na iba ang galing ng BPSU, iba ang galing ng batang bayani,” Canare ended.

The office also shared that BPSU is currently in talks for hosting the RCAF in 2027. | via John Michael Pascubillo

Amid heightened political scandals, the Diocese of Balanga gathered its community at St. Joseph Cathedral for a mass prayer and candle-lighting ceremony denouncing government corruption in the country last Sunday, November 30.

The initiative, conducted in coordination with People’s Alliance for Accountability and Good Governance (PALAGG), a local sectoral coalition, was attended by several civilians, students, and various local non-government organizations for youth, women, fisherfolk, and other marginalized sectors in the community.

Diocese of Balanga Bishop Most Rev. Fr. Rufino C. Sescon addressed the lack of integrity within government systems and urged anomalous politicians to take accountability and admit their crimes to the public during his homily.

"Magising na [sana] ang mga tiwali—matandaan nila, panagutan na nila, aminin na nila. Huwag na nilang hintayin na sa harapan pa ng Diyos sila mapilitang umamin at magsisi, binibigyan na [sila] ng pagkakataon ngayon pa lang na magsisi, magbalik loob, [at] magbagong buhay," Bishop Secson said.

The candle-lighting ceremony symbolized the resistance of the public to the greed, disloyalty, and undignified governance exhibited by corrupt politicians.

“Ang ilaw nating sinisindihan ay ang ating pagpapahayag na hindi tayo magagapi ng kadiliman na minsa’y napakalakas, nanaig ang kadiliman ng kasalanan, kasamaan, kasakiman at kasinungalingan,” he added before the lighting of candles.

A prayer was also invoked by the crowd to express their grief over the nation’s struggles and circumstances caused by corruption, substandard projects, and unreasonable budget insertions.

Meanwhile, several police and security personnel were stationed around Plaza Mayor de Ciudad de Balanga to ensure that the ceremony remained peaceful.

In addition, this event coincided with the nationwide mobilizations and movements held in Mendiola, Angeles City, Tarlac, Cebu City, and other areas, all calling for greater accountability from those in power.

𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐠 𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐰𝐚, 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐰 𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧

May mga pag-ibig na kumikislap at madaling maglaho, ngunit mayroon ding pag-ibig na nagliliyab at nananatili sa loob ng dantaon, sa kabila ng matitinding pagsubok. Si Andres Bonifacio, ang Supremo ng Katipunan, ay nagtaglay ng ganitong pag-ibig sa Pilipinas—isang apoy na hindi mapapatay.

Ipinanganak sa karalitaan at hinubog ng pagdurusa, batid niya ang tunay na hirap ng karaniwang Pilipino: hindi bilang katauhan, kundi bilang taong tinutulak sa gilid at pinipilit na manahimik. Para sa kanya, ang pag-ibig sa Inang Bayan ay hindi nasusukat sa salita, kundi sa gawa, sa tapang, sakripisyo, at pagtangging pumikit sa mali.

Ngayong Araw ni Bonifacio, umaalingawngaw muli ang kanyang panawagan: tumitindig ang Pilipino—hindi sa tabak, kundi sa tinig, laban sa katiwalian, kasakiman, at pang-aabuso ng kapangyarihan. Sa Trillion Peso March at Prayer Rally ngayong Nobyembre 30, ipinapakita ng mamamayan na ang diwa ng Katipunan ay buhay, at ang tunay na pag-ibig sa bayan ay lumalaban para sa katarungan at kalayaan.

At tulad ng ipinakita ni Bonifacio, tunay na sumusulong ang bayan kapag ang karaniwang mamamayan ay kumikilos para sa isang adhikaing mas dakila kaysa sarili. Bawat hakbang, sigaw, at panalangin ay pagpapatuloy ng kanyang laban para sa isang bansang malaya sa kawalang-hiyaan.

Habang pinararangalan natin si Bonifacio, sundan natin ang kanyang halimbawa: ang tumindig, magsalita, at kumilos laban sa korapsyon. Nawa'y ang ating katapangan, tulad ng kanyang pag-ibig, ay manatiling matatag upang ang Pilipinas ay tunay na umunlad sa katarungan at dangal.

Sapagkat ang pinakadakilang pag-ibig sa Inang Bayan ay ang pag-ibig na naglalakas-loob na hamunin ang kamalian.

Bataan Startup Day 2025 brought together provincial and regional representatives in its two-day event to strengthen collaboration in the province by supporting student-led and independently owned startups through development programs and technological initiatives.

Held at Bataan Tourism Center Pavilion for its second year, the event fostered broader involvement of municipalities and provinces across Central Luzon in shaping the ecosystem.

According to Jairo Rosales, co-organizer and business development head of Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) SIKAT Technology Business Incubator (TBI), this year’s edition aimed to collaborate with public and private sectors.

He added that the organizers brought different industries, government, and municipalities to spread awareness about startups and innovation beyond the provincial capital.

“Yung focus ng Startup Day this year is more on the government and industry sector. That’s why we invited different industries,” Rosales emphasized.

Joining the initiative are Provincial Government of Bataan, 1Bataan, Innovation Council, BPSU-SIKAT TBI, the City of Balanga, the Department of Science and Technology, the Department of Information and Communications Technology, the Department of Trade and Industry, Junior Chamber International Bataan, and the Freeport Area of Bataan.

Moreover, private innovation enablers like Launchgarage, Plug and Play, Wadhwani Foundation, PhilDev, and CoPilot AI have shown their interest to support the startups event in the province.

Mr. Jay Fajardo, managing director of LaunchGarage, delivered a vision-setting keynote, emphasizing that while Bataan possesses the key characteristics for digital commitment, it has yet to reach the top.

“Bataan has all those characteristics of digital commitment, but it’s not up there or at the top now. This startup is the chance towards digital prosperity,” Fajardo emphasized.

Meanwhile, breakout sessions shared key insights, with the government panel led by Mr. Jay Fajardo and Bataan Public-Private Partnership and Investment Center Department Head Mr. Abul Khayr Alonto II discussing how towns and cities can become innovation hubs.

In the industry session, Ms. Fam Alonto of Embiggen Group tackled investment readiness to support startups, while the academe session, led by PhilDev’s Leonina Morillo and Wadhwani Foundation’s Matt Matias, highlighted its role in shaping future innovators.

Moreover, the second day commenced with a pitching competition where participants presented to industry experts, who offered remarks to improve their ideas and connect them to business prospects.

Fisheries students from BPSU Orani Campus emerged as the winner with their product Scyllato, which showcased local resources of mangrove crops utilized as innovative goods.
Camay Villeroz, technical officer at Technology Entrepreneurship and Transfer Office highlighted that in the future, Bataan Startup Day will focus on smaller gatherings, targeting individuals who are genuinely interested and committed to sustaining their involvement in startups from the government, industry, and academic sectors.

With community activation and awareness initiatives completed last year, this year's efforts centered on reinforcing the ecosystem by securing local support through municipal ordinances, ensuring sustained and policy-backed programs for startups.
