To equip Bataan Heroes College’s instructors and teachers with skills in dealing with students in distress, the Guidance and Counseling Office (GCO) on Friday organized a Psychological First Aid (PFA) training at the Conference Hall.

According to the resource speaker, Bernadine F. Poblete, anyone can administer PFA as long as they have proper knowledge and training in handling an affected individual.

Members of the Technical Assistance Group and the Gabay Bayani peer facilitators were also present during the training.

After a two-part learning session that tackled misconceptions about mental health, stress, and the dos and don’ts when a person is in distress, participants engaged in group activities simulating real-life situations.

Through the three-part training, the instructors, teachers, and students are expected to be able to provide psychological help as PFA providers.

“Sana ma-implement talaga natin sa bawat classroom. I’m looking forward na bawat estudyante na merong mga ganitong klaseng needs, mga mental health needs, who are going through distress, ay sana is mas ma-handle natin as teachers, mas ma-cater natin,” Poblete said.

“Kasi I am thinking na when it comes to education, it should be hollistic, ‘no? Hindi lang 'yung academic needs ng mga students 'yung kine-cater natin, as well as 'yung kanilang mga mental health needs,” she added.

Senior Guidance Associate Krisgie Punongbayan expressed hope that teachers and college instructors would become the kind of support the students need.

“Sa generation kasi ngayon, they call the generation very sensitive. So, in case of emergency, meron silang action. Hindi lang ‘Aw, naawa ako,’ ‘Aw, kawawa naman.’ They help them [with a] certain kind of action—kung ano talaga yung kailangan nilang gawin, ano ‘yung dapat gawin,” Punongbayan stated.

The Basic Education Department held its first-ever High School Day, uniting students through competition and camaraderie, October 9 to 10.

Anchored on the theme “United in Sports, United in Spirit,” the celebration featured sports events with four competing groups: Yellow Tigers, Green Vipers, Blue Falcons, and Red Dragons.

Heroes' high school sports team, Atletang Bayani, led the lighting of the torch to officially signal the start of the festivities.

Physical Education and Sports Officer Head Eli Judah Bonus shared that events such as this help not only with students’ physical health but also with their mental well-being.

“I believe na kailangan natin ng ganitong breaks and ganitong events to help us—of course, hindi lang sa ating pangangatawan but also sa ating mental state, mental health,” said Bonus.

“Also, nakita ko 'yung potential ng mga high school students natin from junior and senior high school na nagpakita ng galing in terms of ball games, racket games, and even chess and scrabble. Sobrang nakakatuwa lang silang panoorin giving their best,” he furthered.

For Basic Education Department Governor Rouge Cabreta, this event is a manifestation of their hard work.

“For us, DSG-BED, it's our 'we made it' moment after all the work, and it's evident that the effort we put into planning the event wasn't in vain because the teachers and students enjoyed it,” Cabreta expressed.

Better Late Than Later 👌

The Teacher’s Day tribute, originally set for October 3 but postponed due to a province-wide class suspension, finally pushed through yesterday at the Academic Building 1 Hallway.

The Supreme Student Government put together a set of games and a photo booth for the college instructors, teachers, non-teaching personnel, and students, alongside special performances from each department.

Moreover, Tanghalang Bayani rendered a heartfelt original song to honor the teachers.

A freedom wall and appreciation board were assembled by the Guidance and Counseling Office and Gabay Bayani, where students could write freely and post appreciation notes for their teachers.

Kinumpiska ng kapulisan ang mga hawak na placard ng mga kabataang nagtangkang magsagawa ng protesta kahapon sa Plaza Mayor sa gitna ng masamang panahon.

Anang opisyal na kumausap sa isang grupo ng mga kabataan, maaari lamang silang mag-rally kung mayroon silang permit.

Kabilang sa mga grupong namataan sa plaza ang Young BEAN, Youth for Nationalism and Democracy-Bataan, at Alterpol Youth.

Nitong Linggo, naglabas ng imbitasyon ang Kabataang Bataeño Laban sa Korupsyon (KBLK) upang tipunin ang mga kabataan sa isang 'peaceful protest' sa sentro ng lungsod, ngunit isang oras bago ang itinakdang pagtitipon ay nag-anunsyo ang grupo ng pagbabago sa programa dahil umano sa masungit na panahon.

"Due to unfavorable weather conditions, the planned activity will be adjusted. Instead of a rally, the youth will hold a symbolic and peaceful movement against corruption. This will be marked by the tying of white ribbons around the vicinity—a gesture of unity and a collective call for integrity in governance," payahag ng KBLK.

Wala pang pahayag ang grupo ukol sa susunod na hakbang nito.

“Ang tunay na maka-Diyos ay maka-bayan din.”

Ito ang paalala ni Bishop Rufino “Jun” Sescon Jr. sa kaniyang ikalimang Pastoral Letter na inilathala ng Diocese of Balanga kasabay ng pagtindig ng simbahan sa gitna ng lumalalang isyu ng korupsiyon sa bansa.

Nitong Linggo ng gabi, nagsama-sama ang mga mananampalataya ng bayan ng Orani sa harapan ng Basilica Menor sa isang makabuluhang Prayer Rally laban sa korupsiyon.

Dinaluhan ito ng daan-daang katao na binubuo ng mga kabataan, senior citizens, at mga lingkod-bayan na naghahangad na itaguyod ang katotohanan at katarungan.

Matapos ang taimtim na panalangin, nagpatuloy ang isang mapayapang kilos-protesta bilang paninindigan na dapat managot ang mga tiwali at manaig ang mabuting pamamahala sa bayan.

Youth from across Bataan gathered at the parking area of the Cathedral Shrine and Parish of St. Joseph on Monday afternoon to partake in a peace movement against corruption.

Organized by Kabataan Bataeños Laban sa Korupsyon—whose page was created only yesterday—the participants tied white ribbons along the cathedral fence as a symbolic act of solidarity.

The City Public Order and Safety Office, Bureau of Fire Protection, and City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office were stationed around the area to ensure order and safety throughout the event.

PCOL Marites A. Salvadora was present and expressed her gratitude that the protest remained peaceful.

The program concluded with a short prayer, which adjourned the youth discussion and peaceful demonstration.

“Bataan Heroes College stands in solidarity with the nation's call for transparency, accountability, and good governance,” the college said in a Facebook post.

The march is expected to start at 9:00 AM at Luneta Park in Manila, which will later move to EDSA.

A possible data entry error affected Bataan Heroes College’s Institutional Passing Rate (IPR) in the recent Criminologists Licensure Exam (CLE), which we earlier reported to have fallen short by one passer.

It has come to our attention that Rhey Vi May Duazo, a Heroes alumna, also passed the exam.

Upon reviewing the official CLE room assignments released by the PRC, we discovered a discrepancy in the college name.

Instead of our institution’s former name, Bataan Heroes Memorial College, the passer was erroneously listed under Heroes Memorial Colleges—a nonexistent school.

With this correction, the college now has 32 passers out of 63 takers. The IPR, however, still remains below the National Passing Rate (NPR).

The new IPR of BHC for first-time takers is 66.67 percent.

Bataan Heroes College (BHC) posted a 65.71 percent institutional passing rate for first-time takers and 50 percent overall in the August 2025 Criminologist Licensure Exam (CLE), falling just one passer short of surpassing the 51.45 percent national passing rate.

BHC recorded the highest number of examinees and passers among criminology schools in Bataan, producing 31 newly registered criminologists.

Pampanga was the most subscribed testing center for Heroes criminology alumni, with 22 passers out of 42 examinees. The lone examinee in Lipa City, Batangas, also passed the CLE.

Meanwhile, the Professional Criminologists Association of the Philippines (PCAP)–Region III announced the opening of applications for this year’s Exemplary Passers award, which recognizes successful examinees with an average of at least 85.01 percent. The deadline is on October 1.
