Today, the 25ᴛʜ ᴏꜰ ꜰᴇʙʀᴜᴀʀʏ, the anniversary of the 𝐄𝐃𝐒𝐀 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, we remember a moment in 1986 when millions of Filipinos chose 𝒸𝑜𝓊𝓇𝒶𝑔𝑒, 𝓊𝓃𝒾𝓉𝓎, and 𝓃𝑜𝓃-𝓋𝒾𝑜𝓁𝑒𝓃𝒸𝑒 to reclaim democracy. The EDSA Revolution was a powerful reminder that standing up together can create change without the use of violence.

For 40 long years, EDSA has reshaped the nation’s history by showing the world that we can alter the course of our country through actions guided by our principles rather than force or greed for power. We also pay tribute to the people who stood up for our freedom, ending years of dictatorship and restoring our democratic institutions.

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐅𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟒, the world softens just a little. Storefronts glow in shades of red and pink, handwritten letters reappear in an age of instant messages, and flowers become silent messengers of affection. 𝓥𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓮’𝓼 𝓓𝓪𝔂, often associated with romance, is more than candlelit dinners and heart-shaped chocolates. At its core, it is a celebration of connection—the quiet, steady, and sometimes overlooked ways we care for one another.

While the holiday is often linked to romantic love, its meaning goes far beyond couples. Love exists in friendships that stand the test of time, in families who show care through quiet sacrifices, and even in the courage to practice self-love. Many now celebrate by spending time with friends, sharing meals with family, or simply checking in on someone who needs encouragement.

𝒱𝒶𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑒’𝓈 𝒟𝒶𝓎 is not just about grand or expensive gestures. Sometimes, the most meaningful expressions of love are simple: a heartfelt message, a sincere “thank you,” or a reminder that someone matters. In the end, it is a celebration of love in all its forms—and reminder to express it not just today, but also in our every day lives.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞.

Energy built in waves—𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙, 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚, 𝙪𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚. As Mapúa Malayan Colleges Laguna (MMCL) opened its 20th Foundation Day, the ceremony unfolded in sharp beats and clean movements, less an introduction and more a declaration.

The Grand Parade started with a thoughtful gesture, with the newly introduced colleges leading: the College of Health and Science (pink) and the Mapúa Institute of Aviation (black), ETY College of Business (yellow), Senior High School (purple), the College of Arts and Science (blue), the Mapúa PTC College of Maritime Education and Training (gray), the College of Computer and Information Science (green), and the Mapúa Institute of Technology at Laguna (red). Lastly, the non-institutional staff closed the radiant parade.

The program formally opened with the ceremonial March and Parade of Colors, followed by an invocation led by Dr. Angelo D. Platino and the Mapúa Malayan Vocal Ensemble. Opening remarks were then delivered by Engr. Anthony Hilmer S. Medrano, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, who reflected upon the institution’s astounding journey. It was then followed by a message from President and CEO Dodjie S. Maestrecampo, PhD, underscoring that the institution’s work is far from over and the students’ unwavering trust allows MMCL to grow. In the end, a meaningful speech from SHS Principal Dr. Glenda P. Lizardo, PhD, highlighted the role of the youth in carrying that vision forward.

Moments after, Ms. Jezreel B. Batayen and Mr. John Rencel B. Cantalejo of the SHS Department brought an edge and a bold contrast to the vibrancy that each college brought.

𝗠𝗠𝗖𝗟 𝗮𝘁 𝟮𝟬: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲

𝗔𝘁 𝟮𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝗠𝗮𝗽ú𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗻𝗮 (𝗠𝗠𝗖𝗟) 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗱—𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱. Its 20th founding anniversary is not a declaration of having arrived but is a chance to remember what has carried the school forward. For the Senior High School (SHS) Principal, Dr. Glenda Lizardo, progress never meant smoothness, but persistence—there are times that we roll over bumps and cracks. She says, “Those challenges serve as my inspiration to strive harder.” It is a perspective that resonates deeply with MMCL’s own journey: one defined by adaptation over perfection.

Despite being the youngest department in the school, SHS students are not treated as an afterthought. Academically, MMCL students are strong—“𝘯𝘰 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭,” she says. Many of them are innovative and often act as frontrunners, willing to explore new ideas and take initiative. But what stays with her most is not just their intellect but their character—kind, outgoing, and deeply aware of one another’s presence. This is where culture becomes more than a concept. Dr. Lizardo describes the SHS community as homey—a space where students feel seen, where teachers are approachable, and where learning happens beyond structured lessons. Behind every student, she emphasizes, is a story. Some are filled with laughter and joy; others with frustration, uncertainty, or sadness. These stories do not exist on the margins. They are central to MMCL. Together, they form the school’s living narrative.

Filled with hope and joy, 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫'𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 is celebrated today, 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟭, which marks the start of the year. After midnight, full of noise and excitement from the fireworks and in the houses to count down until the first day of 2026, this year brings endless possibilities and countless wishes to every person.

To Filipinos, there are various ways to celebrate it—such as the traditional Media Noche, or Midnight Feast, that lasts from the night of the 31st of December until January 1st. Meanwhile, there are some who put money in an 𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒑𝒂𝒐, or Chinese red packet/envelope, that signifies wealth and good wishes. Additionally, there are several traditions and beliefs that families do to ensure a warm welcome to the new year, such as jumping 10 times, eating 12 grapes for good luck and relationships, and wearing polka-dot clothing.

The year 2026 is also known as the “Universal Year 1,” which means “reset” or the start of a new cycle. It can be a good sign for innovation, a fresh start, or change. It can also be connected to the Pantone Color of the Year, Cloud Dancer, which represents new beginnings and balance.

Several people use this opportunity to list their New Year's resolutions—this may be a personal intention or promise that they hope to accomplish or create progress throughout the year.

People always say, “𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘔𝘦.” As the new year sets in, may we all have a fresh start and more opportunities to be claimed. Let joy, hope, prosperity, and love firmly stick with us and be stronger in 2026. Every person deserves a better year, fewer challenges, and more success to be encountered.

Today marks the last day of 2025—and with New Year’s Eve right around the corner to greet the world anew, it is time to bid farewell to another year full of wonderful memories, and welcome the start of the decade’s second half, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲!

Roughly 2069 years ago, in the year 45 B.C., Julius Caesar was the first to announce the start of a new year—a new beginning that ends a long journey. And on December 31st, 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱.

Welcome the sound of firecrackers and trumpets alike, and make some noise to cast away the evil spirits. Gather around your folks to pause and turn back the clock for one last time as we invite the new year, travelling its roads unknown with no holds barred. 𝕳𝖆𝖕𝖕𝖞 𝕹𝖊𝖜 𝖄𝖊𝖆𝖗’𝖘 𝕰𝖛𝖊!

129th 𝓡𝓲𝔃𝓪𝓵 𝓓𝓪𝔂 embodies unwavering love for the nation by honoring 𝓓𝓻. 𝓙𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝓡𝓲𝔃𝓪𝓵, who awakened a nation through words, wisdom, and knowledge. When we hear the name “Rizal”, we are simply reminded that the monument we walk past in Luneta was a restless mind that believed the right principles could defeat empires.

For 129 years, we continue to celebrate every 30th of December as a tribute to the late Philippine Hero.

Today, we are reminded that such bravery can be silent and a loving country sometimes means daring it to tell the truth. Rizal Day not only marks a national sorrow, but also a moment to question whether we are thinking citizens or passive subjects, and whether we are willing to defend freedom with intelligence as well as courage.

𝔸𝕤 𝕨𝕖 𝕞𝕠𝕧𝕖 𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕨𝕒𝕣𝕕, may we continue to carry Rizal’s courage to question injustice, his discipline to seek truth through intellect, and his deep love for the nation that demanded accountability, dignity, and hope for a better future for the country.

𝕿𝖔𝖉𝖆𝖞 𝖎𝖘 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖑𝖔𝖓𝖌 𝖆𝖜𝖆𝖎𝖙𝖊𝖉 𝖉𝖆𝖞…𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖒𝖆𝖘 𝖎𝖘 𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊!

After months of waiting, 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟓 has arrived with one of the most widely-celebrated holidays in human history—𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬.

For Roman Catholics, Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, conceived by the Virgin Mary through divine intervention. Celebrations are diverse, with many cultures each having their own unique traditions. People exchange presents, and reminisce with their loved ones. The holiday is a rich representation of culture, where history and religion meet in a day of joy and festivity.

As one of the two Catholic countries in Asia, the Philippines is considered to have the longest running Christmas, with preparations starting in September. Families gather to celebrate after ten days of Simbang Gabi, starting from December 15 or 16, a practice originating from Spain and Mexico. While this is no longer practiced in the latter countries, the Vatican has explicitly given the Philippines permission to continue this rich cultural tradition. Families attend mass to strengthen their relationships with each other and deepen their connection with Christ.

During the day itself, families engage in typical festive activities such as gift-giving and feasts. Most visit their extended family and schedule vacation trips. Christmas, along with other common religious events, is considered a national holiday.

As we celebrate this year’s Christmas, let us observe the holiday’s values of community, joy, and love for one another. For many, Christmas remains a rare respite from the struggles of everyday life, and a privilege to those who do not have the means to celebrate. Let us emulate the core values of Jesus Christ by respecting others and aiding the less fortunate. Greed and misery have no place in Christmas—everyone deserves to celebrate if they wish to do so.

Every year, December 24 marks Christmas Eve, also known as Noche Buena in the Philippines. This event marks the night of arrival in Bethlehem before the birth of Christ on the next day (December 25). To Filipinos, there are many ways to celebrate this occasion through several traditions to bring joy and positivity to the occasion.

Some traditions involved in this special day include the end of the nine-day Catholic devotional Mass called Simbang Gabi, or Night Mass, in its final Mass termed “Misa de Gallo.” Several devotees believe that completing the series of masses will grant their Christmas wish. Furthermore, after every Mass, some believers buy their favorite Christmas food, such as P**o Bumbong and Bibingka.

Meanwhile, most of the children do their fullest effort in their Christmas carolings. While people enjoy the festivities from the streets full of colorful lights and parols. Also, during the night of the 24th, Saint Nicholas, or "Santa Claus," visits the houses of kids who have been nice throughout the year and sends them special gifts.

More importantly, Filipino families spend their night with their loved ones, which symbolizes feasting, unity, gratitude, and love. Tables are filled with several foods to be shared. This moment lasts until midnight, when the clock hits 12, which marks the birth of the Beloved Christ.

As the Bible said, the nativity of Christ is “good news,” so let us recollect that it isn't just an annual event, but we shall enjoy this time with our loved ones. Despite our various differences as people, may this day remind us that festivities and traditions would not be possible without our commitment and heartfelt dedication. Let us not forget to remember that this day is much better with a smile in our minds and hearts.

Maligayang Pasko to everyone!

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary is joyfully celebrated on December 8th each year within the Latin rite of the Catholic Church. Also called the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, this feast is a holy day of obligation. This feast takes place exactly nine months prior to the celebration of her Nativity on September 8.

The Dogma of the Immaculate Conception is a Roman Catholic belief that the Virgin Mary, from the first moment of her own conception by her parents (St. Anne and St. Joachim), was preserved free from all stain of original sin by God's grace, in anticipation of her role as the Mother of Jesus. This unique privilege was officially defined as dogma by Pope Pius IX in 1854 and is celebrated on December 8th as a Holy Day of Obligation. It's important to note this is different from Jesus' Virgin Birth, as Mary was conceived naturally but preserved from sin. In 1942, Pope Pius XII declared the Immaculate Conception as the principal patroness of the Philippines.”

For many Filipino communities, this feast is not only a celebration of doctrine but also an expression of devotion. Mary’s life reflects humility, courage, and unwavering trust—virtues that continue to inspire the faithful in moments of uncertainty. She stands as a symbol of hope, reminding us that grace works quietly but powerfully in the lives of those who open their hearts to it.

In the city of Cabuyao, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception resonates with a spirit of reflection and gratitude. It serves as an opportunity to honor Mary as a guiding light—one who intercedes for her children, offers comfort in times of hardship, and encourages us to live with compassion and sincerity.

This celebration urges us to look inward and ask how we, too, can embody purity of intention and faithfulness in our daily lives. Mary’s example teaches us that holiness is not found in perfection, but in the genuine desire to follow God’s will with love and openness.

On this 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, may we celebrate not only a moment in history but a timeless invitation—to seek grace, to choose goodness, and to let faith shape the way we live.
