‎
‎Ink-stained fingers, group chats that never slept, and deadlines that always felt too close—this is the story of an Editorial Board and Staff.
‎
‎To our Editorial Board, you were more than the names at the top of the masthead—you were the driving force behind every page we proudly turned in. The ones who checked every detail, questioned every angle, and somehow turned our “pwede na ‘to” drafts into something worth reading.
‎
‎You mastered the art of balancing pressure and patience—calling us out when we needed it, laughing with us when things got a little too overwhelming, and pushing us to see that we were capable of more than what we settled for.
‎
‎There were nights filled with revisions, moments of panic before submissions, and those unforgettable times when everything seemed to fall apart—but you always found a way to pull it all together. And in the middle of it all, you made space for memories that turned the stress into something we’ll actually miss.
‎
‎Because of you, this publication became more than just outputs and deadlines—it became a place where writers grew, voices were shaped, and stories found their purpose.
‎
‎As you step away from your roles, know that the standard you set, the lessons you passed on, and the legacy you built will continue long after this school year ends.
‎
‎You may be closing your chapter as the Editorial Board, but your imprint will remain in every word we write next.

‎
‎History did not hand women their place—they carved it into the world with courage.
‎
‎Yet through generations of courage, women rose where they were told to remain silent. They marched where they were told to stand still. They spoke where they were expected to whisper.
‎
‎International Women’s Month is not just a celebration. It is a remembrance of battles fought in classrooms, workplaces, homes, and streets—each one shaping the freedoms many now hold.
‎
‎Today, we honor not only the victories, but the relentless spirit behind them.
‎
‎Happy International Women’s Month—to every woman who continues to rise and rewrite the world.

Here are some lessons and nuggets of wisdom we can glean from the YOLO EDUTAINMENT SHOW.

1. Bullying doesn't start at school; sometimes it starts at home. Parents shouldn't be the first bullies of their child. Parents should not say hurtful words to their children. These negative words may cause them to lose confidence and may negatively impact them in the long run.

2. Taking care of our mental health is just as important as caring for our physical health. We should honor our feelings. We should cry if we must, scream if we must, but let's not dwell on the shadow of despair.

3. Being bad in academics doesn't mean a bad future. We all have gifts, talents, and skills. If you think you're bad in academics, ask yourself, "What area am I good at?" and focus on that. Take note: a diploma is important too, so strive to pass your exams, but focus on a specific skill you have, hone it, and use it to become successful.

4. A bad chapter doesn't mean a bad life. We all have bad chapters in life. All we need to do is be brave until we reach the last painstaking page and finally run to the healing and joyful season of our lives.

5. Numerous factors could lead to the worsening of mental health, some examples include the negative comparison between two individuals, bullying, and excessive pressure from family, society, or peers. Don't forget to reflect and be grateful all the time. Love yourself and prioritize your mental health.

Roqueans, kindness starts with us. We should not be the reason why someone’s mental health is crashing. Let’s choose kindness all the time and remember the tagline:

𝙈𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙖𝙤 𝙨𝙖 𝙡𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙝𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙠𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙤𝙣.

𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬

𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫?

‎‎In a crowded, noisy and playful school, you wouldn't imagine that there are students who have a mature mind. Two lovely and soft-hearted girls from 8-SPFL namely 𝐘𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚 found a 1,000-peso bill. Without a second thought they went to their teacher and returned it instead of keeping the money and using it for their own good. ‎ ‎
These two students are good example for the youth, that when we find or see things we don't own we will find a way to return it to the real owner or to those officials — like our teachers. Guilt, conscience, and regret will haunt us once we secretly keep and take things we don't own. Decisions are hard to make, but when you decide for good things —especially the people around you, it will have a good return you didn't ask for. ‎
‎"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader" by John Quincy Adams.
