𝗜𝗡 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗦 | Sa patuloy na paglaganap ng henerasyon, ang ating kasaysayan, ugat, at kultura ay hindi dapat maging estranghero sa sinumang Pilipino.

Ang Capitol University Senior High School, sa pangunguna ng Sandigan ng Capitolyan sa Filipino (SACAFIL), ay matagumpay na nagsagawa ng Tagisan ng Talino bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika 2025, na ginanap noong ika-6 ng Agosto 2025 sa loob ng AVR Room 7, IT Building.

Ipinamalas ng mga piling mag-aaral mula sa Grade 11 at Grade 12—dalawang kinatawan mula sa bawat seksyon—ang kanilang talas ng isip at pusong makabayan sa larangan ng wika, kultura, at kasaysayan ng Pilipinas.

Sa ika-labindalawang baitang, matagumpay na naisagawa ang unang yugto ng kompetisyon, kung saan itinanghal na mga nagwaging seksyon ang Bronze, Mint, Ebony, at Dandelion na mag-aabante sa pinal na bahagi ng paligsahan.

Samantala, sa ika-labing isang baitang, matapos ang masigasig at mahigpit na eliminasyon, ang mga seksyong Euclid, Virchow, at Descartes ang napiling magpatuloy sa pinal na bahagi ng kompetisyon.

Ang mga seksyong ito ay maglalaban-laban muli sa ika-13 ng Agosto para sa pinakamataas na posisyon, ang pagiging kampeon. Tunay ngang nananatiling buhay sa puso ng kabataan ang pagmamahal sa ating pinagmulan.

Sabi nga ni Dr. Jose Rizal: “Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa kanyang paroroonan.”

𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗥𝗘𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗻 | Sa bawat pinong hiblang hinabi mula sa himaymay ng ating wika, nakaukit ang kasaysayang isinatinig ng marka ng ating mga ninuno—mga salitang umuukit ng anyo sa ating pagkakakilanlan, mga kwentong patuloy na bumabalong sa ugat ng ating pagkabatiran. Ang Filipino at mga katutubong wika ay hindi lamang daluyan ng komunikasyon, kung hindii mga buhay na dagundong ng diwang bayan—may lalim na singlawak ng kalawakan, may diwang kasingtayog ng dambuhalang imprastraktura, at may dangal na sumasalamin sa ating kasarinlan.

Ito ang diwang isinakatawan ng temang, “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa.” Sa patuloy na pagbubukad ng ating mga wika, sinisiyasat natin ang talaarawan ng bayan upang patubuin ang binhi ng pagkabuklod. Ang bawat kataga’y tila gabay na bituin sa madilim na karagatan ng masalimout na nakaraan, sumisiklab na ilaw sa kasalukuyan at nag-aalab sa pangakong bukas—nagliliwanag, nagtutulay, naglalapit sa mga puso’t diwang nag-uugat sa iisang bayan.

𝗜𝗡 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗦 | "Prevention is better than cure, especially when there is no cure."

With the worldwide rising of HIV cases, in the 2nd of August 2025, Capitol University Health Services together with the Office of Student Affairs and Services conducted an HIV Awareness and Testing with the invitation of DOH-NMMC HAACT Treatment Hub Personnel through Resource Speaker, Dr. Leslie Christine Magsayo-Salon.
The Program required the attendance of 3 representatives per club and organizations varying from Senior High School to College departments.

The program highlighted with the guidance of HIV and AIDS. It was a gateway to teach and explore how they occur, in what ways will they be acquired, the changes in your body, the time frame of its incubation, and the ways to prevent its chance of worsening and deteriorating the health of an HIV positive and a possible development of AIDS.

Through this program, the students and even some faculty members were informed thoroughly with statistics and evidences. A free HIV testing was also held for interested individuals who are curious and are seeking assurance for their health. They also had a question and answer portion where anyone is at liberty to raise a question which the resource speaker will answer.

Common misconceptions and wrong actions that causes the life of an individual to decline and suffer must be prevented at all costs. It is with great honor that the Capitol University was given this opportunity to fix wrong habits both in action and in knowledge.
