“Ang laban na ito ay para sa lahat ng naghahanap ng pagmamahal, pag-unawa, at pagtanggap, anuman ang kasarian. Ang laban na ito ay para sa pagkakapantay-pantay.” - Senator Risa Hontiveros

A Filipino journalist-turned-activist and senator is a compact and bold way to introduce Ana Theresia “Risa" Hontiveros, born on Feb 24, 1966. She was once a representative of the Akbayan Party, a party she represented, known for raising bills and laws about quality and cheap medicine, mental health, HIV-AIDS acts, and many more. Risa Hontiveros, once a journalist and also a news anchor, later on became a huge advocate for many. In 2016 and 2022, she was elected senator after 2 losses during the 2010 and 2013 elections.

But perhaps the boldest stand she ever took was for those whose identities are often silenced or misunderstood. When many turned away, she listened. When others called it controversial, she called it necessary, and she fought. Since 2016, she has championed the SOGIESC Equality Bill—not as a political move, but as a promise of morality she carries until now.

These profound words by Sen. Risa Hontiveros are more than just a call to action—they are a warm embrace to every person who has ever been made to feel like they don’t belong. We live in a world where people are judged for simply being their utmost selves. This quote reminds us that everyone deserves to be fully seen, truly heard, and deeply loved, regardless of their SOGIE. It takes seeing other people to be seen.

Let us remember God’s love knows no boundaries—it embraces the heart, not the label. To love and accept one another is to honor God’s design and to live out the grace He freely gives. As Paulinians, we are called to accept others as creations of God, created with unending love. Let this fight for equality be rooted in compassion, anchored in faith, and guided by the truth that every soul deserves dignity and belonging. And to anyone still searching for love and acceptance: may you always remember that in God’s eyes, you are enough, you are chosen, and you are deeply, unconditionally loved.

Like Senator Risa Hontiveros, no matter what your SOGIE is, love and respect are values rooted in God, and love makes pride boundless, and pride keeps us alive.

Every time I watch the rain fall quietly outside my window on a slow Sunday morning, I’m reminded of all the moments I sat there asking God why. Why things had to be hard. Why my mother had to carry the weight of two parents on her own. Why the path always seemed uphill.

One verse she often reminded me of was Proverbs 3:5. “Even when you don’t understand. I am still working. Trust that I will guide you to what is best.” I did not fully grasp it then, but I do now. There were so many unseen moments when she was holding us together with faith. And even when nothing made sense, she trusted that something was happening beyond what we could see.

Looking back, I realize that God was guiding us not through loud miracles but through quiet endurance. Through the small joys like a shared meal after a long day or the laughter that somehow survived even during our lowest. Much like the promise in Proverbs 3:5, my mother trusted God even when nothing made sense. She could not see the full picture, but she believed that God was still moving. And in her quiet faith, I saw what it meant to truly trust. The road was filled with uncertainty, but her life showed me that trusting God is not about having all the answers. It is about believing that He is already working for what is best.

As Paulinians, we are called to trust this same God even when we cannot see what is next. We may be searching for clarity in our studies, our relationships, our calling. But God is constantly working behind the scenes of our lives. It is not always about immediate answers. Sometimes it is about surrendering the need to understand and learning to trust that even in silence, even in waiting, He is leading us exactly where we need to be.

Sampung Utos Kay Josh (2025)

In a modern society where the line between right and wrong is increasingly blurred, the 2025 film ‘Sampung Utos kay Josh’ serves as a powerful reminder of the lasting impact of values. The movie revolves around an ordinary young man who is faithfully bound to living out the Ten Commandments of God in hopes of being rewarded. He is convinced that if you are good to God, then He will be good to you.

Nonetheless, his life suddenly turns askew. All his worldly blessings started to fall apart one by one. For this reason, he rebelled and plotted revenge against his beliefs by setting out to break all the Commandments. In eternity’s light, Josh hits a major turning point where he starts to grasp the deeper idea behind faith in God's will. Even after abandoning the road once chosen, we can still return to God—and we will.

The film’s satirical portrayal of the clash between human expectation and divine purpose is profound. It reawakens us that doing what is right doesn’t always bring instant rewards in this unjust world. God sees beyond what we do. Eternal life with God is vastly superior to earthly rewards. In a different vein, even when we fall away or begin to doubt God, He is never far. We may step away from His light, but His grace will always call us back. The question will never be whether we’ll fall, but whether we’ll find our way back to God.

On this day, the 26th of June 1945, the Charter of the United Nations was signed during the United Nations Conference on International Organization, held in San Francisco, California.

The United Nations is a global international organization founded in 1945, with the Charter as its founding document. It serves as an international treaty among participating countries, consisting of rules and processes governing global interactions.

As stated in the Charter, the organization shall act by its principles in international relations, including sovereign equality among all its members. In turn, the members must fulfill in good faith their assigned obligations. First, they shall settle disputes peacefully, refraining from using force on any state. Second, they shall assist the United Nations in any action per the Charter. Moreover, they are prohibited from helping any state acting against the principles of the organization.

The Charter also states that non-members shall comply with these principles if deemed necessary, though they are not obliged to adhere to them fully. However, the organization cannot interfere with the domestic matters of any state or require them to settle it under the present Charter, unless they threaten international order, as stated in Chapters 6 to 7 of the UN Charter.

The United Nations currently has 193 member states, with the Philippines being one of its 51 founders in 1945. Through decades of partnership, the organization has helped the country with issues regarding human rights and gender equality.

The Philippines, along with the other member states, maintains international peace and security, develops friendly relations among other nations, and promotes social progress to enhance the living standards of all citizens across the globe, as per the Charter of the United Nations.

“You can’t win at everything, but you can try.” – from the song ‘With a Smile’ by Eraserheads

Eraserheads is a Filipino rock band that was formed in 1989. Often referred to as the “Beatles of the Philippines,” they continue to influence, inspire, and capture the interest of young people to this day—showcasing authentic and legendary Filipino talent.

Life does not always move in a straight path—instead, it bends, twists, and even breaks from time to time. We often go through fleeting moments, constant changes, and a life full of uncertainties. There are times when we fail despite doing our best, and times when, even after chasing the light with all our hearts, the shadows within us still prevail.

“With a Smile” by Eraserheads does not give us grand promises. Instead, it gently assures us that we’ll get by and that all things will get better with time. One important reminder in this song is that simply trying is already an act of courage. There is no harm in taking risks toward your goal, no matter the outcome. Taking a step forward is an act of defiance against all odds—and in that, you’ve already won more than most.

The truth is that life does not always reward us with success. Despite our efforts and sacrifices, our dreams may still slip from our grasp. But within that truth lies a deeper meaning: real victory belongs to those who fail and still find the strength to rise again.

Strength doesn’t always need to be loud or seen. Sometimes, it’s the quiet act of finding love and light in the little things after a hard day that keeps us going. This song reminds us that being gentle and taking things slow is not a sign of weakness, but a testament to resilience, perseverance, and healing. We do not have to face life alone. Even though we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders, pure love and kindness—whether from within or from others—can help us bear it.

As this school year begins, let us not forget to pause, to feel deeply, and to face life with kindness in our actions, with love in our hearts, and with a smile on our faces.
