𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗔 | Bakbakan sa korte, lalong nag-alab; lakas at diskarte, naghari sa palaruan

Nagsimulang umalingawngaw ang sigaw at palakpakan sa Amazing Grace Gymnasium ng Muir Woods Academy, Inc. (MWAI) ngayong Setyembre 4 nang magdaos ng ikalawang araw ng HABI 2026, kung saan ipinamalas ng mga mag-aaral ang husay at diskarte sa iba't ibang palakasan.

Sa kategoryang Badminton A Singles, nagpakitang‑gilas ang bawat bahay. Sa boys division, tinalo ng Jaguar ang Sapphire, samantalang nagwagi ang Verdant laban sa Crimson. Sa girls division, umangat ang Sapphire kontra Jaguar, habang nakamit ng Crimson ang panalo laban sa Verdant.

Hindi rin nagpahuli ang mga chess players ng MWAI sa pagpapakita ng talino at tiyaga. Sa boys chess, umuwi sa unang puwesto ang Crimson, sinundan ng Green sa ikalawa, Sapphire sa ikatlo, at Golden Jaguars sa ikaapat. Sa girls chess, namayani ang Golden Jaguars bilang kampeon; pumuwesto naman ang Verdant sa ikalawa, Sapphire sa ikatlo, at Crimson sa ikaapat.

“Sportsmanship kasi parang humble ka rin; iniisip ko na mababa ako kaysa sa kanila, hindi overconfidence,” ani Almonte ng Golden Jaguars, nang tanungin tungkol sa kanyang pananaw sa paligsahan.

Mainit din ang bakbakan sa basketball courts. Nagtagisan ng puntos ang Sapphire at Golden Jaguars kung saan nagtapos ang laro sa iskor na 93–86 pabor sa Sapphire. Sa isa pang panalo, tinalo ng Crimson ang Verdant sa 65–58.

Ayon sa mga nanood at naglaro, nagpakita ang mga koponan ng tamang timpla ng lakas at diskarte—mga sangkap na naging susi sa kanilang tagumpay. Pinuri din ng mga g**o ang ipinakitang sportsmanship at pagkakaisa ng mga mag-aaral sa buong araw ng paligsahan.

Samantala, binigyan ng oras ang ibang mag-aaral upang makapaghanda sa kanilang itatanghal sa susunod na linggo.

Inaabangan ng MWAI ang nalalabing araw ng HABI 2026 na magbibigay pa ng pagkakataon sa mga estudyante na ipakita ang kanilang talento at pagmamahal sa paaralan.

𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗔 | HABI 2026, Sumiklab sa Pagbubukas; Kultura at Kompetisyon, Nagtagpo

Sumiklab ang HABI 2026 ng Muir Woods Academy, Inc. (MWAI) nitong Setyembre 3, pinagtambal ang yaman ng kulturang Filipino, husay ng mga mag-aaral, at tindi ng kompetisyong pampalakasan sa isang pagdiriwang na nagbuklod sa buong paaralan sa ngalan ng pagkakakilanlan, pagkakaisa, at diwang pampaaralan.

Mula sa unang pagbati sa Bugkalot, Iloco, at Filipino, agad na itinampok ng pambungad na programa ang kahalagahan ng wika bilang salamin ng kultura at pagkakakilanlan. Sa kaniyang pambungad na mensahe, binigyang-diin ni Tr. Ailyne Joy Martinez Pascua ang mahalagang papel ng wika at teknolohiya sa paghubog ng isang mas responsable, mulat, at makabuluhang kinabukasan.

Nakasandig ang pagdiriwang sa temang “Sining ng Kaalaman at Kultura—Wikang Filipino at AI bilang Tulay sa Masustansiyang Pamumuhay at Pangangalaga sa Kalikasan,” na naglalayong pag-ugnayin ang kulturang Filipino, kaalaman, at makabagong teknolohiya. Hinimok ni Pascua ang mga mag-aaral na gamitin ang wika at teknolohiya nang may pananagutan upang itaguyod ang masustansiyang pamumuhay, pangangalaga sa kalikasan, at patuloy na pagpapahalaga sa kulturang Filipino.

Hindi rin nagpahuli ang sining sa pagbubukas nang ihatid ng Arts Guild: Siglaya ang isang makulay na pagtatanghal na sumalamin sa pagkamalikhain at talento ng mga mag-aaral ng MWAI. Sinundan ito ng masiglang parada ng mga atleta mula sa volleyball, basketball, badminton, taekwondo, track and field, at tennis, na tuluyang naglatag ng entablado para sa kompetisyong bubuhay sa mga susunod na araw ng HABI.

Pagsapit ng hapon, nagliyab ang kompetisyon sa Sport Fest habang nagharap ang mga house sa iba’t ibang larangan. Sa volleyball, nanaig ang Crimson kontra Verdant, habang itinala naman ng Golden ang panalo laban sa Sapphire, kapwa nag-uwi ng mahalagang bentahe sa unang araw ng tunggalian.

Sa pagtatapos ng unang araw, Golden ang umakyat sa tuktok ng overall house standings matapos makalikom ng 560 puntos. Sumunod ang Verdant na may 545, Sapphire na may 530, at Crimson na may 495 puntos. Gayunman, malayo pa ang laban sa korona, tatlong araw pa ang naghihintay at maaari pang mabago ng bawat panalo, talo, at puntos ang takbo ng kompetisyon.

Sa huli, higit pa sa puntos at pagkapanalo ang tunay na diwa ng HABI 2026. Sa pagsasanib ng kultura, sining, talento, at palakasan, binigyan nito ang mga mag-aaral ng pagkakataong ipamalas ang kanilang kakayahan, ipaglaban ang kanilang house, at higit sa lahat, bumuo ng mas matibay na ugnayan bilang isang komunidad. Sa unang araw pa lamang, malinaw nang hindi lamang laban para sa puntos ang HABI—ito ay pagdiriwang ng kung sino ang mga mag-aaral, kung ano ang kanilang kayang gawin, at kung paano sila nagkakaisa bilang MWAI.

𝗠𝗪𝗔𝗜 𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘 𝗖𝗨𝗣 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 | ONE CUP. ONE CHAMPION.

As we enter the school gates, comes another battle for the House Cup. The standings are clear, the points are reset, and the stakes have never been higher. Now is the time for every house to define it own legacy.

Every competition will test more than talent, it will demand discipline, determination, and unity. Every point will matter, and every victory may bring each house one step closer to the cup.

For some, it is another chance to defend a long standing legacy, but for others, it is a opportunity to rise, challenge expectations, and make their mark. No title is guaranteed, and no contender can afford to underestimate the road ahead.

As the battle intensifies, rivalries will be renewed and ambitions will be tested. Only through consistency, resilience, and unity will a house emerge above the rest. The stage is set and the battle begins.

Who will claim this year's House Cup 2026-2027?

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 | On August 31, 2026, the Philippines commemorates the 95th anniversary of National Heroes Day.

Today, we honor the sacrifices, courage, and contributions of Filipinos, both known and unsung, who continue to strive for the country’s freedom, justice, and peace.

Representing the Philippines goes beyond honoring its well-known heroes. We also recognize and celebrate all Filipinos who have contributed to the country’s struggle for prosperity, progress, and nation-building.

To be a hero, one does not need supernatural powers. True heroism is founded on courage, determination, and selfless service to the nation.

May this spirit of bravery and sacrifice live on in our hearts, inspiring us to serve our country not only today but every day.

𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗢𝗬 𝗔𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗡𝗢 𝗗𝗔𝗬 | Today, we remember Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., a man whose courage became a symbol of hope and whose sacrifice helped awaken a nation.

His life reminds us that freedom is never without a price, and that even in the face of fear, one voice can challenge injustice, inspire courage, and ignite change.

As we commemorate Ninoy Aquino Day, may we not only remember his sacrifice but also carry forward the values he stood for: truth, democracy, courage, and love for the Filipino people.

“The Filipino is worth dying for.”

May these words continue to echo in every generation, reminding us that the future of our nation lies in the courage of those willing to stand, speak, and act for what is right.

Today, we remember. Today, we honor. Today, we continue the fight for a Philippines worthy of its people.
