Seeking to ignite student involvement for its upcoming activities, the College of Environmental Studies (CES) launched "PAGNINGAS 2025" yesterday, October 15, at the Marinduque State University Gymnasium.

Relevant to its namesake, "Pagningas," which translates to "to ignite," aimed to spark dialogue and active participation among the student body. The program kicked off with opening remarks from the College Dean, Dr. Evangeline B. Mandia, setting a collaborative tone for the day.

The Environmental Studies Society (EnSciSo) officers spearheaded the consultative sessions. EnSciSo President Argee Hirondo presented a comprehensive overview of the planned Students' Days 2025. This was followed by crucial discussions on the budget and financial contributions led by VP for Finance, Donna Mae Oflas, and a presentation of the calendar of activities.

A key segment of the morning was the open forum, which provided a platform for students to voice their suggestions and concerns. This, along with a dedicated session for the discussion and signing of a resolution by BSES students, underscored the event's commitment to student involvement and transparent governance.

The assembly reached its emotional climax following the closing remarks by BSES Program Head, Dr. Jason Ben R. Paragamac. In a surprise celebration of Teachers' Day, student leaders initiated a "Putong" ceremony for all the faculty members present. In this beautiful Filipino tradition of honoring esteemed individuals, students crowned their mentors with flowers and sang songs of gratitude, filling the hall with applause and heartfelt emotion.

Isa sa mga pinakakilalang yaman ng Pilipinas ang bulubundukin ng Sierra Madre. Ang bulubunduking ito, na dumadaloy sa probinsya ng Cagayan patungong Quezon, ay umaabot sa higit na 𝟱𝟰𝟬 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼 at nagsisilbing gulugod ng bansa. Kilala ito bilang tahanan ng mga 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 sa bansa, maging hayop man ito o halaman. Bukod dito binansagan din itong panangga para sa mga dumarating na bagyo at malalakas na daluyong mula sa Karagatang Pasipiko. Ganunpaman, isa pa rin ito sa mga paksa ng mga isyung pangkaligiran dulot ng patuloy na pananamantala ng mga lokal at internasyunal na pangalan.

Ngayong ika-26 ng Setyembre ay binibigyang diin ang pagbabantay at pangangalaga sa isa sa mga natatanging kalasag ng Pilipinas. Bilang mga mag-aaral ng agham pangkaligiran magsilbing instrumento sa pagbibigay ng kamalayan sa masa ukol sa mga isyung pangkalikasan. 𝗕𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗮 𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻!

Sa bawat patak ng ulan na ngayo’y tila luha ng kalikasan, at sa bawat huni ng hanging dala ang init ng panahong wala sa panahon. Naririnig natin ang bulong ng isang mundong nilimot. Ang ating mga gubat ay unti-unting nauupos, ang dagat ay nilulunod ng sariling luha, at ang lupa’y pagod na, sapagkat sa halip na arugain ay kinatas at nilimas.

Ngunit sa gitna ng unos, may tinig na sumisilip mula sa mga silid-aralan at laboratoryo, mga tinig ng kabataang siyentipiko, na ang pangarap ay hindi para sa sarili, kundi para sa sangnilikha. Agham Pangkalikasan, tangan ang paninindigang hindi lang ito karera, kundi panata.

Sa bawat pisong inililihis sa kaban ng bayan, may punong hindi naitatanim. May baybaying hindi nalilinis. May komunidad na hindi napoprotektahan sa sakuna. Hindi sapat ang mga pangakong walang ugat; ang kailangan ay tapat na paggugol sa mga adhikaing may saysay.

Lutasin ang agam-agam. Iyon ang ikalawang bahagi ng panawagan. Agam-agam ng mga magsasaka sa gitna ng tagtuyot. Agam-agam ng mangingisda sa asul na dagat na unti-unting nagiging inaasam ng iba. Agam-agam ng kabataan kung may mundong mahihiraman pa ng pag-asa.

At ang sagot? Hindi milagro. Kundi agham.
Hindi away. Kundi datos.
Hindi kapangyarihan. Kung 'di pananagutan.
