The Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) officially welcomed a new chapter in its student organizations with the oath-taking of the pioneering officers and members of the MMSU Model United Nations (MUN) on September 15, 2025, held at the College of Arts and Sciences Audio Visual Room (CAS AVR).

Representing the College of Engineering in the organization are three active members: EXECOMM Member Toni Marit Gabrielle B. Jacildo (BS Civil Engineering 2B); USG for Finance John Wayne B. Dalere (BS Civil Engineering 4C); and Finance Member Trisha Jane I. Gappi (BS Civil Engineering 2C). Their involvement signifies the college’s upbringing of future engineers who are equally prepared to take part in international discourse.

In her welcome remarks, Secretary-General Beatrice Michaela Acenan described the oath-taking as a landmark moment, pointing out that the MMSU MUN was born from a shared passion for diplomacy and international relations. She noted that the organization seeks to prove that MMSU students have the talent and drive to join global conversations. More importantly, Acenan underscored that MMSU now takes pride in being one of the first universities in Region I to establish a Model United Nation.

Director-General Vinz Thyrone C. Asuncion, meanwhile, emphasized that the MMSU MUN is determined to grow stronger, aim higher, and continually improve in the years ahead. For Asuncion, diplomacy must always be the first step, reminding students to “be relevant, be known, be yourself, be Model United Nations.”

After Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Aris Reynold Cajigal administered the oath-taking ceremony, the organization adviser, Ms. Divina Grace Eugenio delivered the message of commitment reminding the new officers to lead with empathy and action: “May you commit to listening before speaking, respecting differences, seeking solutions instead of fueling divisions, and may you commit to being leaders who will not just dream but act.”

Dr. Cajigal also delivered an inspirational message, recognizing the organization as a legacy for its pioneering members. “Today, you have organized yourselves into a Model United Nations ready to serve the university and fulfill your mandate of developing global citizens,” he said.

With its establishment, MMSU joins the ranks of universities worldwide that provide students with platforms to practice diplomacy, broaden their worldview, and become future leaders in both local and international arenas.

From James Clear’s Atomic Habits, this reminds us that motion lays the blueprint, while action builds it. Failure teaches us to adapt and grow. Low scores don’t define us—they simply show that we are beautifully imperfect.

But motion without action becomes procrastination. Even the best plan is useless if we never begin. Yes, you may have failed an exam, drawn past the border, or miscalculated a problem set—but that’s okay. Each mistake; error—an invitation to try again, until trying is no longer needed.

Step by step, slowly but surely, we move forward. And when we stumble, let failure be our teacher—not the reason we turn back.

Do not let a single setback dim the fire you’ve carried this far. The dream you hold—whether a degree, a promise to your younger self, or a quiet hope you’ve never spoken aloud—deserves to be chased, even on weary days. Keep going. Slowly, perhaps. Softly, at times. But always forward.

Moods like weather; shifting, breaking, holding on.

Someone is a calm drizzle;
one is an unbearable sunshine;
some are just a small lone cloud, adrift in the middle;
some are untouchable;
sometimes there is an unexpected shiver in the breeze;
and another is unpredictable thunder.

We tend to have different moods in every minute of our lives;

some days we’re storms —raging at anything that tries to come close;
some days we’re all sun —blinding ourselves with joy that is too bright to hold.

But there are skies we never notice,
and they frighten us;
the ones that carry a storm in silence,
smiling while lightning splits inside.

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁;
and we never know who is holding on just to see another tomorrow.

There are mornings we wake as fog —uncertain; slow; hard to read.
Evenings when we set like overcast skies —quiet; heavy; aching for some light.
And yet, most of the time, we’re a sky pretending to be fine.

But then, we meet someone whose weather collides with ours;
too much heat; too much rain; too little calm;
so our clouds stay between us, never quite clearing.

That’s why kindness must be our default
—a soft umbrella; a shelter of words during heavy rains;
a gentle touch of sun —a warmth that is given freely;
or just being alone together —where the sky can be worth clearing, if only for some time.

And if today your sky feels like it’s breaking;
know that even storms pass;
know that even unfinished sentences can continue.

Maybe that’s just how people are; skies shifting, always meant to carry something.

So, we keep the clouds between us;
and yet, we remain.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | 𝗔 𝗗𝘂𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆: Josefino Servé
𝘣𝘺 𝘌𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘦 𝘙. 𝘗𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵

In the halls of Mariano Marcos State University – College of Engineering, where chalkboards sing with equations and plates dance across drafting tables, stands a young man with two voices — Joseph Labayan, the Civil Engineering student who speaks the language of numbers, and Josefino Servé, the soul who refuses silence, singing truths deeper than numbers can hold.

For Joseph, writing is a platform where his heart composes its own equations and sings emotions no blueprint can explain. From simple social media posts to his first book 𝗟𝗮𝗴𝗽𝗮𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗴𝗮𝗯𝗶, published at only 17, he proved he was not a typical engineering student. What he offered was not just poetry but a passage urging others toward courage and acceptance. In that honesty, his whisper turned into a voice, and the spotlight found him. “𝘑𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘩 𝘎. 𝘓𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘯 2𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘚𝘈’𝘴 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦-𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘗𝘰𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯!” What was once heard only within the walls of his room has now soared beyond earthly bounds.

Only weeks later, his voice reached the prestigious grounds of the University of the Philippines Diliman. From almost six hundred entry submissions, only ten were selected as fellows to the workshop. Hosted by 𝗠𝗴𝗮 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝘂𝗹𝗮—a literary community founded by Sir Ron Camino and followed by millions—Joseph Labayan of Ilocos Norte stood tall as one of the Top 10 participants, presenting his collection of five Filipino poems under the general title 𝗜𝗯𝗮’𝘁 𝗜𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝗼 𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗴𝗮𝗽. The piece peeled back layers of human experience, exploring acceptance of pain, love, departure, and even death.

His poems refuse to romanticize suffering. Instead, they let it speak plainly, vulnerably, and sometimes hauntingly. From the searing heat of companionship in 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁, to the fragile hope in 𝗛𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗽, the quiet exhaustion in 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹, and the stark yet tender surrender in 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘀, each piece reflects how the human heart learns to endure and let go. His words held the room in stillness — not because they were unfamiliar, but because they echoed truths many were too afraid to voice.

What makes the collection striking is its intimacy. The words feel less like poetry and more like someone sitting beside you, whispering truths you never dared admit. As one line from 𝗟𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘆 puts it: “𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘬𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘶𝘶𝘣𝘰𝘴, 𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘥 𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘢. / 𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘬𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘰𝘴, 𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘥 𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘨-𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘯𝘪𝘺𝘢.” In these poems, acceptance is not a single act but a constant becoming: burning, breaking, grieving, and still, somehow, choosing to love.

The collection also drew the eyes of renowned critics. Sir Allan Popa noted not only its honesty and depth but also its deliberate use of language and form — how its imagery carries weight, how its structure mirrors the process of acceptance, and how its rhythm allows silence to speak as much as the words. Sir Ron Camino — whom Joseph considers his greatest inspiration — became both mentor and dream come true when their paths finally crossed. Sir Jerry Graciano, another speaker-mentor at the workshop, critiqued a different collection, yet Joseph carried valuable lessons from his words as well.

He became “Josefino Servé” — not just reciting poetry but opening a door that invites others to step into the courage of acceptance. With that courage, rooted in humility and truth, his journey reached an even wider audience when the story of the fellows was featured by TV personality Marc Logan. This moment marked Joseph’s debut television appearance — a testament that his words live not only on the page but also in the hearts of people longing to be understood.

Living in two worlds often seen as incompatible — numbers demanding precision and letters demanding soul — Joseph shows he was never torn between them. He is the ruler of both: messy yet precise, not a mathematical theory but achingly real. He represents not only excellence but possibility, proving that logic and art can thrive in one mind. Solving equations does not mean silencing emotions. Intelligence is not a single form. And in Joseph, we see how one can thrive in two worlds — and even build bridges between them.

We’ve all heard it before — “𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗻-𝗮𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗸𝗮, 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗿.” It slips out in laughter: from a friend who braved a major exam with nothing but courage, the one who second-guessed every answer and shrugged it off, or that one classmate who cheers, “𝘜𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨, 𝘴𝘪𝘳!” while quietly hoping for more; shouted half in joke, half in prayer.

Coping comes in many forms —another cup of black coffee to make us feel alive through night, another set of scribbled notes; another sarcastic joke to keep the spirit alive, or even another siomai rice from the auxiliary building just to recharge after getting drained by a calculus exam and say "deserve ko ‘to!".

Sleepless, restless, yet still moving.

But here’s the thing: every small push, every laugh in the middle of the grind, every line of code or solved equation —adds up to more than just survival.

In the depth of ever-changing fashion trends, long-passed traditions are forgotten; far beyond our realization, we tend to bury these legacies that have been passed from generation. The only reality is that the gap between fashion and tradition is no close to being latched. Or is it?

Behind closed curtains, cotton and textures; tradition and fashion merged as one during the Habi’t Likha: Inabel nga Istoria ti Kinaandur ni Ilokano—a showcase of artistry, culture, and identity woven through fine threads and bold dreams of Ilocanos. A moment that testifies the canvas in the cotton worth a thousand words—silent yet unhidden tears and hope rose from the story behind each fragment.

Once woven purely from homegrown cotton, Inabel has evolved with the times—Ilocano weavers now blend polyester into their craft, infusing vibrant colors that keep tradition alive while embracing modern fashion trends.

Anchored with the theme, the designs were portioned to three, not for the sake of a scheme, but to carve in our souls a narrative that we once lived, or we hope to have.

Starting off with the “Unang Koleksyon: Hinabing Alaala,” a glance of where we all began, what Ilocanos were accustomed to wearing, looking back the remnants of the past.

Then, the “Pangalawang Koleksyon: Hinabing Pangarap,” a chain of huge aspirations from Ilocanos, masterpieces built from the scraps of “what if” and “what now” to symbolize how far will the brilliant minds go in search of something greater to write their names on.

Finally, the testimony we all want to articulate, “Ikatlong Koleksyon: Hinabing Kagandahan,” where everything makes sense. This is the very moment where every sweat gracefully dances in echo to shape beauty and elegance.

Broad strokes were made, but the designers colored outside the lines. And with every piece telling a story, reliving the past; they crafted in the specs of an ordinary Ilocano.

Diversely, modern designs were in subtle inception with the traditional, yet without dragging into dusty drawers our unified culture and identity. It is an indication that amid borders of traditions and trends, we are directed to look back at the legacy that are worth treasuring.

Let us not forget that fashion is not merely stitched in style but in stories—stories that remind us that while trends may fade, the threads of tradition endure. In every woven piece of Inabel lies not just artistry, but the living testament of people, of Ilocanos, who dare to dream forward without unraveling their roots.

The Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU), through the College of Engineering (COE) Student Council, staged “Habi’t Likha: Inabel nga Istoria ti Kinaandur ni Ilocano,” on September 2 at Teatro Ilocandia. The fashion show for a cause showcased modernized Inabel designs, cultural presentations, and student performances.

The event aimed to promote the enduring tradition of Inabel weaving while providing designers with a venue to present their works while celebrating Ilocano heritage and artistry.

During her Opening Remarks, Engr. Marifaye Flores, representing COE Dean Dr. Sharona Q. Barroga, highlighted that culture is not stuck in the past, but continues to improve in the modern day.

"Through the showcasing of Inabel garments, we not only honor the richness of our Filipino language and culture, but also highlight the beauty, artistry, and resilience of the Ilocano people," (𝘚𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘭, 𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘨𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘪𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘰 𝘢𝘵 𝘬𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢, 𝘬𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘪 𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘨𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘪𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘯 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢, 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘣𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘐𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘰) she said.

In his Inspirational Message on behalf of MMSU President Virgilio Julius P. Manzano, Jr., Dr. Fides Bernardo Bitanga, Vice President for Administration and Finance, emphasized the value of perseverance, saying, “When we really work hard for something, the fulfillment is always there.”

“Clothing [Inabel] is something we put on not because we cover ourselves,” further emphasized Dr. Bitanga. “They are not to cover who we are but rather to show the best and the beauty of you,” he added, stressing the cultural significance of Inabel.

The event featured three main collections: Hinabing Alaala, Hinabing Pangarap, and Hinabing Kagandahan, each highlighting unique designs inspired by Ilocano weaving traditions.

The models, composed of students from COE, graced the runway with elegance and poise as they gave life into the Inabel creations. Their refined walks and presence underscored the intricacy of the woven fabrics while reflecting the artistry and vision of the featured designers.

Adding depth and entertainment to the show were performances by the COE Talent Troupe Assemblage along with intermission numbers from Elfrieda Francesca Esquero, Shekinah Grace Versoza, and the troupe.

Designers who presented their works during the event were Ira Baylon, Mark Leo Aguillar, Rhodel Baliclic, Christian Neil Oasay, Allen Garvida, Bryan Paul Macayanan, Albert Wong, Mark Paul Gresola, and Pinili Inabel Designs.

Through Habi’t Likha, MMSU COE reaffirmed its commitment to preserving and promoting Ilocano culture while nurturing innovation. The event was a tribute to heritage, artistry, and identity, a testament that Inabel lives even in modern times
