Behind the economy in the Philippines are the everyday laborers– jeepney drivers braving into the scorching heat to drop off passengers. Construction workers building sky high buildings they will never live in. Crop farmers that put food on our table yet earn less than the average minimum wage, factory workers, market vendors, housemaids, healthcare workers, and fresh graduates looking to enter the job circle.

Labor day didn't come to be on a random day. On May 1,1903, more than 100,000 workers marched from Tondo, Manila to the Malacañang Palace. Led by the Union Obrero Democratica de Filipinas, they demanded fair wages, and better working conditions. The country officially declared Labor Day as a national holiday in 1908. Since then, May 1 has become an annual platform for workers seeking justice.

However, Filipinos with full time jobs today still find themselves falling backwards. Inflation rate have been creeping up year by year, yet wage increases have been slow, small, and often fought for years before being implemented. A worker can show up everyday, work overtime, never miss a shift, and still not have enough

A minimum wage should not merely meet the bare legal standard; it should be a livable wage that allows workers to afford basic needs such as food, housing, healthcare, and education without constant financial strain. If a person works a full day, they should be able to afford a full day of life.

The heart is a fickle vessel, yet it somehow holds the weight of years, all those memories tucked into the marrow, even when the mind believes we have outgrown them.

When one has an eye for detail, a true vision, and hands that are ever-giving, a space stops being a mere room and starts being a home. Belonging is the gravity that pulls different masteries into a single, united front. To those who have held this year and the ones before it, you navigated the transience of high school and the frantic academic loads, and melt it with warmth of real companionship and radical friendship.

This is the legacy of the Liceo U Student Press. We chose to see beyond, to stand as witnesses to one another’s growth, and to root for something larger than ourselves. To be in the field, to inhabit the sharp pulse of the moment, and to offer up your talent like air finds the blood, the very thing that keeps the aorta pulsing.

To our graduates, across every unit, you are leaving a room you have finally learned the language of. Speak of it wherever your strides take you, take a piece of what you built here and continue to widen it like the rays of the sun. You survived all of the nights and proved that the heart is a resilient muscle, capable of stretching to fit every dream.

To our writers, who translated the thumping noise of the world into something readable and felt, your words are never borrowed, and they will remain your own for as long as you live. To the photographers who caught the seconds before they could dissolve, and the videographers who stretched minutes into a lifetime, know that you have kept the light that keeps the rest of us going. To the graphic and freehand artists who gave our thoughts a form and a shadow, and the broadcasters who let the publication borrow their faces and voices as our own, you have made what we do, tangible for many.

We are different because you were here. We are not confined with these walls, for the time we shared has already settled into the heart.

May you always find a reason to keep looking. May your work always feel like coming home.

Marking their end and beginning, on April 7 and 8, 2026, the graduation ceremony of the Senior High School department was held at the Liceo Civic Center. This 9th commencement exercise was celebrated with the theme “Celebrating Excellence, Upholding Character, Transforming lives for Sustainable World.” Liceans marched up to the stage with heads held high as they took a step onto a new journey, carrying the values of Liceo de Cagayan University.

The maroon and golden yellow colors that the students wore became an extra honor, symbolizing the victory of their prominent achievements through the silent effort that allowed them to succeed. Dr. Alain Marc P. Golez, University President, declared the graduates. Every agenda– the processional, graduation rites, and recessional– became an attribute of dignity.

This moment recognizes the lessons, memories, and growth that were taken in order to move forward. In the dictionary, graduation means “the award or acceptance of an academic degree,” but it is much deeper than that. It carries the weight of bidding farewell to what once was our time, to embrace change the unfamiliar would bring.

“We are composing the photograph of who we are choosing to be.” , quoted from their graduation speech. Indeed, the graduation is not only a celebration of the efforts it took and to capture it, but a collective action to the most awaited selves they are making.

Adelante!

Every April 9, we take a moment to remember. This year, we mark the 84th anniversary of Araw ng Kagitingan, or Day of Valor—a day to honor the bravery and the heartbreaking sacrifices of Filipino and American soldiers who fought during World War II.

In 1942, the Fall of Bataan wasn't just a battle lost. It was thousands of young men finally running on empty. Under General Edward P. King Jr., the soldiers who surrendered weren't cowards. They were exhausted, starving, and sick, having fought with whatever scraps of food and ammunition they had left. But the enemy didn't see surrender as surrender. What followed was the Bataan Death March, a brutal 140 kilometers of thirst, heat, and violence. A soldier could be shot for asking for water or bayoneted just for falling behind. By the time the survivors reached Camp O'Donnell, countless lives had already been left behind on the roadside. These weren't just names in a report. They were someone's brother, someone's son, someone's best friend. And they gave everything they had, right up until the very end.

Hindi lang ito bahagi ng kasaysayan. Kwento ito ng mga taong nangarap, nagmahal, at lumaban para sa bayang hindi nila iiwan. Sa bawat hakbang na kanilang tinahak noon, may kapalit na sakit, pagod, at buhay—pero hindi nila binitawan ang dangal.

Eighty-four years later, their voices echo in the freedom we often take for granted. Nandito tayo ngayon dahil may mga nauna na piniling tumayo kahit alam nilang maaari silang bumagsak.

As we honor our veterans today, nawa’y hindi lang natin sila alalahanin, kundi damhin. Dalhin natin ang kanilang tapang sa paraan ng ating pamumuhay—sa pagpanig sa tama, sa pagkalinga sa kapwa, at sa pagmamahal sa bayan.

Dahil ang kagitingan ay hindi lamang alaala. Ito ay panata.

John 11:25 NKJV‬
[25] Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”

Jesus’ journey from the cross to the empty tomb shows that hope is eternal and that faith can bring light even to the darkest moments. His resurrection demonstrates that love overcomes fear and life emerges victorious when death loses its power. The message reveals that God will fulfill all His promises while His mercy and goodness continue to exist in our daily existence.

Easter calls us to reflect on His victory and to embrace renewed purpose, joy, and gratitude. We should deliver His message to all people throughout the day while we work to deliver hope and kindness and compassion to everyone we encounter. Jesus' resurrection should motivate every person to dedicate themselves to faithfully serving God while they share His endless love with others.

Happy Easter Sunday, He is Risen!

“Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen.” — Luke 24:5

Between the sorrow of Good Friday and the triumph of Easter Sunday lies a quiet, often overlooked day—Black Saturday. It is a day suspended in stillness, where the world waits in silence, holding its breath between grief and hope.

Black Saturday remembers the time when Jesus Christ lay in the tomb, after the suffering and sacrifice of the cross. The noise of the crowd has faded, the sky no longer trembles, and the earth rests in solemn quiet. For the disciples, it was a day of confusion and mourning—a moment where faith was tested, and hope seemed buried alongside their Teacher.

Yet, within this silence is a deeper meaning. Black Saturday is not merely a pause, but a preparation. It invites believers into reflection—into the stillness where grief is acknowledged and faith is quietly strengthened. It is a reminder that even in life’s darkest and most uncertain moments, something greater is unfolding beyond what can be seen.

Churches remain dim, altars bare, and the atmosphere subdued. It is a day without celebration, yet not without purpose. In this sacred waiting, Christians are called to trust, to endure, and to believe that light will come after darkness.

"It is finished."

This was Jesus Christ's last words on the cross at around 3:00 in the afternoon. Today, the Good Friday remembers and commemorates Jesus' sacrifice for humanity's atonement. Solidifying Jesus' role as the lamb that takes away the sins of the world.

From Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane before his arrest to his ultimate crucifixion, the Passion of the Lord is remembered today. This day serves as a time for Christians to redeem and reflect. A day of solemnity and abstinence, silence and thanksgiving all for Christ.
