𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗟 | Engineering Dreams or Society’s Demands? The Weight of Expectations on Young Minds

Every year, thousands of students ask themselves questions after school. It is not “What do I want to do?” but rather, “What does society expect me to do?” For many, the decision to pursue engineering doesn’t come from passion; it comes from pressure.

In our society, “engineer” has almost become another word for success. Parents often believe it brings financial stability, relatives may find pride in it, and society places it on a pedestal. But in the middle of all these voices, the student’s own voice can sometimes be overlooked.

What if their heart wants something else? What if their dreams lie outside equations and machines?

The truth is, not every child is born to be an engineer. Some are writers, artists, teachers, or entrepreneurs at heart. Yet many of them give up those dreams because they don’t want to disappoint their families. They walk into engineering colleges carrying not excitement, but the quiet weight of expectation. And in the long run, that weight often turns into frustration, regret, or worse a feeling of being trapped in someone else’s idea of success.

We need to change the way we think! Is this truly fair? Every child is different. Not everyone is born to design machines or build bridges. Success is not tied to a single career. A society truly progresses when it respects every path whether it’s science, arts, commerce, or sports. Parents must ask their children what they want, not what society expects them to become.

Because at the end of the day, a fulfilled child in any career will bring more happiness to themselves, their families, and society than an unhappy engineer who once had dreams but was never allowed to follow them.

The choice of a career should be a dream, not a demand. And the sooner we realize that, the freer and happier our future generations will be.

𝗜𝗡 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 | Battle of Pulang Lupa

Perched in the misty mountains of Torrijos, Marinduque, where the soil runs a deep, bold red, history breathes. It clings to the wind that whispers through the trees and to the trails where intrepid souls once strode. The town transforms into a stage of remembrance where the drapes reveal stories of bravery that still echo its eerie yet courageous memories.

Today, the 13th of September 2025, marks the 125th anniversary of the Battle of Pulang Lupa-an event commemorating the native Marinduqueño heroes who rose to defend their land against the American soldiers during the Philippine-American War. Many wept for the demise of their loved ones as they were drenched in blood-a sacrifice that etched courage and sorrow.

Today’s commemoration not only honors their sacrifice but also preserves the enduring spirit of resistance and unity that molded the nation’s identity. Reminding generations that freedom is never without a cost.

As the sun rises over Torrijos and hundreds gather, it is not merely the remembrance that unifies them but the desire to bring forth what was once fought for so that the land of the red soil yields justice, honor, and belonging for all who call it home.

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗪𝗘𝗗𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬 | Aninong Takot Sa Dilim

Natatakot ba talaga akong bumagsak?
O natatakot lang akong makita sa mga mata nila
ang pagkadismaya dahil sa pagbagsak ko?

Ang totoo,
nakakatakot mahusgahan.
Nakakatakot hindi maabot
ang lahat ng inaasahan nila.

Nakakapagod ang mag-aral, nakakaubos.
Minsan maiisip mong sumuko—
na tama na, ayaw mo na.
Pero paano kung hindi ako mag-aral?
Paano kung bumagsak ako?
Paano si Mama?
Ano na lang ang iisipin ng iba?

“Matalino ’yan, ’di ba?”
“Honor student ’yan noong high school.”
Nakakarindi, nakakasawa.
At sa dulo, pag-iyak na lang ang natitira.

Hindi ko naman kasalanan
kung hindi na ako kagaya ng dati—
kung napagod, kung naubos,
kung nawalan ng gana sa pag-aaral.

Hindi ko rin kasalanan
kung ngayon—sapat na ang makapasa.
Dahil ang totoo,
hindi ako matalino.
Takot lamang ako
sa paraan ng kanilang pagtingin
kung sakaling
hindi ko makuha
ang dapat na makuha.

Hindi ako takot bumagsak.
dahil matagal na akong bumabagsak,
hindi sa klase,
kundi sa bigat ng mga matang
hindi marunong umunawa.

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗪𝗘𝗗𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬 | Sa Anino Mo

Sa tuwing may nagtatanong sa akin,
“Nakalaya ka na ba?”
Hindi ko batid ang sagot.
Sapagkat hindi ko rin alam kung nasa proseso na ba ako ng pagkalimot,
o hinihintay ka pa rin bumalik.

Paano ba naman ako makakalaya,
kung sa bawat tagpuan ika’y naaalala.
Sa bawat bagay—mukha mo ang nakikita,
ngunit ang kasiyahan ay nakaukit na lamang sa aking memorya.

Mga alaalang hindi ko maibaon sa limot:
ang tamis ng iyong ngiti sa labi,
mga yakap na ayaw pakawalan,
at ang pagmamahalang hindi malisan-lisan.

Isang taon na rin mula nang ako'y iyong lisanin—
babalik ka pa ba?
Sana naman ay nagpaalam ka,
upang sa gayo’y hindi ganoon nangungulila nang labis.

Namumugtong mga mata,
at naninikip na dibdib,
mga rason kung bakit
gabi-gabing nagtatanong sa Kaniya:
Ako ba’y hindi sapat,
o hindi lang talaga para sa kaniya?

Ngunit sa araw-araw na pagtatanong,
pakiwari ko’y natatauhan at aking pinag-iisapang—
paano kung wala na pala akong hinihintay?
Paano kung ako na lang ang siyang umaalalay?

Panahon na siguro para wakasan
ang pag-iibigang natapos nang hindi pa naman nasisimulan.
Hanggang dito na lang siguro,
lalakad na rin ako papalayo—
tungo sa ligayang hindi ko nakamtam sa ’yo.

At sa huling banggit ko ng pangalan mo,
bigo man ang puso ngunit heto ako.
Sa wakas, ako’y malaya na sa anino mo.

Ink will always find its way to paper, just as truth will always find its way to the people. ✍️✨

Today, we celebrate the storytellers, the question-askers, and the truth-seekers—the press. They are the eyes that witness, the voices that speak, and the hands that write the stories that matter.

To stand for press freedom is to stand for a future where knowledge is a right, not a privilege—and where every truth has the chance to be heard.
