Celebrated every 1st of November, ๐—”๐—น๐—น ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€' ๐——๐—ฎ๐˜† honors the entire Communion of Saints, both known and unknown, who lived lives filled with holiness, courage, and compassion. Though not all are named in books or remembered in statues, their light continues to guide us and remind us that faith can triumph over weakness and worldly trials.

As we commemorate this sacred day, may we take time to reflect and remember that holiness is not reserved for a chosen few, but a calling for everyone.

Sa pangunguna ng Teaching Internship Organization (TIO), nagtipon-tipon ang mga teaching interns para sa kanilang practice teachers' mid-conference na ginanap sa Himnasyong Benigno Aldana ng PSU-Bayambang, ika-29 ng Oktubre.

Bago simulan ang ikalawang bahagi ng kanilang teaching internship, nagsama-sama para sa isang mid conference ang mga g**ong nagsasanay mula sa Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (BECED), Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED), Bachelor of Physical Education (BPED), at Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) majors in Science and Filipino.

Pinangunahan ni Bb. Kimberly B. Inaldo, coordinator ng Practice Teaching (BEEd) ang paglalahad ng Educational Organization Policy.

Sa kaniyang pambungad na mensahe, ibinahagi ni Dr. Emmanuel Ross B. Tomas, chairperson ng Professional Education Department, na ang mga karanasang pagdadaanan ng mga teaching interns ay pasilip pa lamang sa kabuuang karanasan ng pagiging isang g**o.

Isa-isang nagbahagi ng kanilang mga karanasan mula sa iba't ibang Department of Education (DepEd) schools sina Bb. April Ji-An F. Sibayan (BECEd), Bb. Rachel Ann C. De Guzman at Bb. Christine P. Mendoza (BEEd), Bb. Gem Andrei C. De Guzman (BPEd), G. Ronnie R. Sarmiento (BSEd Science), at Bb. Christene C. Caaya (BSEd Filipino).

Bilang pangwakas, pinaalalahanan ni Dr. Rico A. Reyes, coordinator ng Practice Teaching (BSEd), ang mga practice teachers patungkol sa mga kahingiang kailangan nilang maisumite bilang bahagi ng kanilang practice teaching.

Ang naturang programa ay isang pagkakataon para maibahagi ng mga teaching interns ang kani-kanilang mga naging karanasan at natamong kaalaman sa unang bahagi ng kanilang internship.

In a historic milestone of championing emotional well-being, the students of Pangasinan State Universityโ€“ Bayambang Campus (PSU-BC) capped off the Mental Health Awareness Month with a seminar-workshop, held at the Benigno Aldana Gymnasium, October 28.

Themed โ€œEmpathy in Action: Strengthening Support Through Peer Counseling and Psychological First Aid,โ€ the campusโ€™ Admission and Guidance Services gathered students to shed light on the importance of mental well-being, equipping students with knowledge and skills on providing emotional support to peers who are experiencing distress.

Ms. Mary Joy Austria, one of the resource speakers, opened the session with a discussion on โ€œPsychological First Aid (PFA): Responding with Care in Times of Distress.โ€

โ€œPFA helps alleviate the issues in mental health,โ€ she said, underscoring its importance in promoting emotional resilience and well-being. She also listed the steps of providing PFA, which include listening with empathy, ensuring safety, and offering reassurance and practical assistance.

On their discussion about โ€œBuilding Bridges of Empathy: The Role of Peer Counseling in Student Support,โ€ Mr. Oliver Laroco and Ms. Abigail Aquino, coordinator of Guidance and Admission Services and CAST guidance counselor, respectively, emphasized the value of building trust and connection among students.

Mr. Laroco encouraged the attendees to seek help in their office, leaving them with a reminder that โ€œthe Guidance Office will always be your friend if you don't have someone to lean on.โ€

Meanwhile, Ms. Aquino focused on the role of โ€œactive listening,โ€ sharing the significance of attention and understanding in tackling someoneโ€™s mental health.

โ€œThe seminar-workshop reminded us that even those who seem happy may be struggling inside and taught us that through kindness, empathy, and simple actions like asking โ€˜Ayos ka lang ba?โ€™, we can make others feel theyโ€™re not alone,โ€ a student attendee shared.

Gising ng alas-dose, tulog ng alas-tres,
Review nang review, pero wala pa ring progress.
Sabi ni Google, โ€œSearch mo lang.โ€

AAAAAAAAAA!

Midterms na naman. Hell week na naman.

Sa bawat sulok ng campus, iba-iba ang mga estudyante.

Mayroon iyong ang tulog ay para raw naka-timelapse.
Meron din iyong gusto na lang mag-breakdown, pero walang oras mag-relapse.

Di rin mawawala iyong mga estudyante na nag-pull ng all-nighter at prepared,
Pero pagdating sa exam roomโ€”ayun, antok at impaired.

Meron din talaga iyong mga tulala sa papel, nagre-reflect sa buhay,
โ€œBakit ba ako nag-enroll?!โ€ sabay buntong-hininga nang matamlay.

Ang daming nangyayari! Nakakapagod at mahirap pero kapit lang, PSUnians!

Sabi nga nila, โ€œThis too shall pass.โ€
โ€™Wag ka lang magโ€“pass away sa kalagitnaan ng class. Joke!

Review well at good luck sa midterms!

Taking part in the good governance and accountable press work initiative, the Pangasinan State University โ€“ Bayambang Campus delegationโ€”composed of Supreme Student Council (SSC) officers, student-journalists from The Reflector, and faculty membersโ€”attended the Open Government National Advocacy Campaign (OGPinas!) Caravan at the Dr. Telesforo N. Boquiren Convention Hall, PSU Lingayen, October 17.

Bannering the sub-theme โ€œFrom Access to Action: The Role of Youth in Ethical and Transparent Governance,โ€ the campus representatives joined other delegations from various state universities and colleges in Region I.

Resource speakers from the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Philippine Information Agency (PIA), and National Youth Commission (NYC) led a series of sessions focused on the ethical use of media and the role of youth participation in public service.

In her opening remarks, Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Region I Director Ria V. Bansigan underscored the youthโ€™s vital role in promoting transparent governance.

โ€œNarerecognize po namin kayong mga kabataan. You are the torchbearer of our nationโ€™s future,โ€ Director Bansigan said.

DBM Secretary Amena โ€œMinaโ€ F. Pangandaman, who served as the eventโ€™s keynote speaker, highlighted the significance of the caravan and its overall theme in advancing open governance.

โ€œThe OGPinas! is not just another project but a mechanism for citizen involvement. The theme โ€˜Bukas, Makulay, Makatao: Gobyernong Bukas sa Lahatโ€™ is a call to build a government open to all,โ€ Secretary Pangandaman noted.

Meanwhile, University President Dr. Elbert M. Galas, in his message of support, emphasized the role of educational institutions in shaping socially responsible individuals.

โ€œUniversities are not just centers of learning but crucibles of civic consciousness where we cultivate a generation that can discern the truth,โ€ Dr. Galas said.

Through the lectures and messages shared, the caravan aimed to empower the youth to use media responsibly in support of an open public service for all.

As a proactive measure amid the recurring earthquakes across the country, the students of Pangasinan State University- Bayambang Campus (PSU-BC) participated in an earthquake drill, held at different campus venues, October 16.

The activity, led by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Bayambang Station, aimed at strengthening campus preparedness and safety, enjoining all students to practice the "Duck, Cover, and Hold" procedure.

The students also attended an orientation and debriefing at the Aldana Gymnasium, conducted by the DBF personnel.

The session shed light on the causes of earthquakes, reasons why the Philippines is prone to seismic waves, proper evacuation procedures, and the necessary preparations before, during, and after the shake.

Mr. Pilimpinas Conding, one of the speakers, emphasized in his message the importance of conducting earthquake drills. โ€œIt helps us prepare for uncertain situations like earthquakes, storms, and other natural disasters. If we are knowledgeable about what to do, we can minimize the dangers or the impact,โ€ he explained.

Meanwhile, second-year Bachelor of Arts in English Language (ABEL) student Janelle Carandang remarked that such drills are relevant and necessary. "Earthquakes have been so rampant these past few days, so we need to be reminded of what to do if an earthquake hits. This drill helps us become more aware and more prepared,โ€ she shared.

The campus-wide activity fosters safety, readiness, and collective responsibility within the campus community, ensuring that everyone is equipped with skills and knowledge when responding to natural disasters.

To celebrate unity and diversity among young learners, the students of the Laboratory Elementary School (LES) of Pangasinan State University-Bayambang Campus (PSU-BC) attended this year's United Nations celebration, held at the Balon Bayambang Events Center, October 17.

Carrying the theme โ€œOne Family, One World for Global Peace,โ€ the event fostered harmony, respect, and understanding among nations, encouraging cultural diversity among students.

Festivities began with a parade of nations, featuring students from Grades 1 to 6 wearing traditional costumes from various countries.

In her opening remarks, Campus Executive Director Dr. Madlyn Tingco highlighted the importance of kindness, respect, and being a peacemaker. โ€œLet us embrace our differences and treat everyone as brothers or sisters. And remember, no matter where we come from, we all share the same home and the same goal: to make a better future for a better tomorrow,โ€ Dr. Tingco stated.

Dr. Salome Montemayor, chairperson of the PSU LES, also gave her inspirational message. "Let us make us this opportunity, embracing the more united and peaceful nation," Dr. Montemayor remarked.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mitzy Macaraeg, dean of the College of Teacher Education (CTE), emphasized the significance of embracing individuality and respect, condemning bullying at all costs.

The program spotlighted the presentation of kindergarten pupils in the "Nations in Fashion," as well as the acrostic poem delivery by Grades 1 to 3 and dance presentations by Grades 4 to 6.

Festivities aside, this year's celebration of the United Nations instilled among PSUnians the values of understanding, peace, and inclusivity.
