Sa isang resolusyong ipinasa ng Sangguniang Bayan ng Puerto Galera, hinihiling nila kay 1st District Rep. Arnan Panaligan na isulong sa kamara ang isang batas na bubuo sa isang bagong congressional district sa Oriental Mindoro.

Bubuoin ang bagong distrito ng mga bayan ng Puerto Galera, San Teodoro, Baco, at Lungsod ng Calapan.

Suportado ito ni Governor Bonz Dolor na sinabing malaking development ang maidudulot kung matutupad ang panukala dahil magkakaroon ng mga departamento na tututok sa mas pinaunting bayan na sakop ng isang distrito.

𝗕𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗡𝗮 — 𝗔𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗮𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗸 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗮

Minsan biro, minsan pagod, minsan pagbitaw. Bahala na. Pero sa akin, iba ang bigat nito. Iba ang anyo. Iba ang kahulugan.

Sa tuwing binibigkas ko ang “bahala na,” hindi iyon tanda ng kawalang-pake o pag-iwas sa responsibilidad. Hindi rin ito tulad ng iniisip ng iba. Ang mundong nakikita nila ay hindi ang mundong ginagalawan ko. Ang aking “bahala na” ay hindi pagtalon nang nakapikit, kundi pagtalon na may tiwala na kahit hindi ko makita ang babagsakan ko, kakayanin kong tumayo kapag nadapa.

Hindi dahil hindi ako handa.
Hindi dahil wala akong plano.
Hindi dahil ayaw kong magsikap.

Sa katunayan, binibigay ko ang lahat. Buong puso, buong lakas, buong kaya. Pero sa likod ng bawat pagsusumikap, may takot. Na kapag umasa ako nang sobra at kumapit nang mahigpit, ako rin ang bibitaw sa huli. Kaya ko sinasabi ang “bahala na,” hindi bilang pagtakas kundi bilang proteksyon sa marupok kong pag-asa.

Sa dami ng iniisip ko at sa bigat ng emosyong pasan ko, nagiging pahinga ang “bahala na.” Sandaling pagbitaw sa mga bagay na hindi ko kayang kontrolin. Pagpayag sa katotohanang kahit anong paghigpit ko, may mga bagay talagang hindi para sa akin. Pagod na akong masaktan ng sarili kong ekspektasyon. Pagod na umasa nang sobra para sa huli’y mauwi sa wala. Kaya sumasabay ako sa agos. Hindi dahil pabaya ako kundi dahil alam kong hindi lahat ng laban dapat ipilit.

Ang aking “bahala na” ay isang mahina pero matapang na panata.
Gagawin ko ang kaya ko, at kung may kulang, hahayaan kong ang mundo ang magtahi ng hindi ko kayang tapusin.

Maglalakad ako kahit malabo ang daan, magtitiwala kahit may takot, at magpapatuloy kahit walang kasiguraduhan.

Sa huli, ang aking “bahala na” ay hindi kawalan. Isa itong uri ng pag-asa na ayaw ko lang tawaging pag-asa. Isang pagtatangkang protektahan ang sarili habang patuloy pa ring lumalaban.

Marahil, dito ko nakikita ang tunay na lakas ng salitang “bahala na.”
Dahil kahit takot akong masaktan, nagpapatuloy pa rin ako.
Dahil kahit ayaw kong umasa, kumikilos pa rin ako.
Dahil kahit sumasabay ako sa daloy, hindi naman ako lumulutang.
Lumalangoy ako.

Ganito ko hinahawakan ang salitang bahala na...
Ikaw, ano ang bahala mo?

Mindoro State University (MinSU) has announced a further adjustment to its class schedule for tomorrow, November 26, in anticipation of continued severe weather from Typhoon Verbena.

According to an Office Advisory issued by MinSU President Dr. Enya Marie D. Apostol today, classes in the three (3) campuses of the MinSU Laboratory High School are hereby SUSPENDED for November 26.

This decision follows the declaration of the Provincial Government of Oriental Mindoro to suspend classes at the lower levels.

Meanwhile, college-level classes in all three MinSU campuses will temporarily shift to online asynchronous modalities for the second consecutive day.

Current weather updates indicate that Tropical Depression Verbena, which has been tracked to intensify and may make landfall in northern Palawan tonight, will continue to bring heavy rainfall and gusty winds to the MIMAROPA region through Wednesday morning.

The university reminded all concerned to "remain vigilant, prioritize safety, and take all necessary precautions during this time of inclement weather."

𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗬: Mindoro State University (MinSU) has announced a temporary shift to online asynchronous classes for all college-level students across its three campuses tomorrow, November 25, 2025.

The advisory, issued today by MinSU President Dr. Enya Marie D. Apostol, comes as the PAGASA has placed the Province of Oriental Mindoro under an Orange Rainfall Warning due to the anticipated impact of Typhoon Verbena.

The move is in accordance with the university's approved Learning Continuity Plan (LCP) and is aimed at ensuring the safety of students and faculty.

"Everyone is reminded to remain vigilant, prioritize safety, and take all necessary precautions during this time of inclement weather," the advisory stated.

Students are advised to check their respective online platforms for instructions and learning materials for the asynchronous day.

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗸 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗴

Pinalakas at pinalawak ngayong taon ang Project Pandayan Journalism Training Camp, na muling isinagawa mula Oktubre 25 hanggang Nobyembre 14 sa pangunguna ng Builders Pandayan at ng Extension Services Office ng Mindoro State University (MinSU) sa pamumuno ni Dr. Consuelo M. Untalan. Ito na ang ikalawang pagsasagawa ng programa ngayong 2025, matapos ang unang batch noong Enero.

Ang mga journalism training camp ng pamantasan ay bilang paghahanda para sa Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC), na noong una ay para lamang sa Pedro V. Panaligan Memorial National High School (PVPMNHS) at Community Vocational High School (CVHS).

Ngayong taon, umabot na sa anim na paaralan ang lumahok. Bukod sa PVPMNHS at CVHS, kabilang na rin ang Apitong National High School (ANHS), Managpi National High School (MNHS), MinSU Laboratory High School, at Canubing 1 Elementary School. Ang lahat ng paaralan ay buong pusong tinanggap ng Builders Pandayan dahil malapit sa kanilang adhikain ang pagpapatatag ng kabataang mamamahayag.

Pinangunahan ang pagsasanay ng executives at senior writers na sina Editor-in-Chief Jhon Carlo Landicho, Associate Editor Michelle Pagsuyuin, Associate Editor Queencie Bautista, Managing Editor Jhon Paul Olla, at Senior Sports Writer Bhen Jay Amparo. Dahil sa mas malawak na saklaw ng programa, mas marami ring kategorya ang naituro at limang resource speakers ang nagbahagi ng kanilang kaalaman sa iba’t ibang larangan ng pamamahayag.

“Nakakatuwa na mas marami ngayon ang mga paaralan na katuwang namin sa pagtupad ng pangarap ng mga estudyante. Their dreams are once our dreams, and we are just so happy that they are so willing to learn,” pahayag ni Landicho.

Ibinahagi rin niya na dumaan sa maraming rebisyon at komento ang mga awtput ng mga kalahok, ngunit nagpatuloy pa rin sila dahil hangad nilang matuto at magtagumpay.

Binigyang-diin din ni Landicho na higit pa sa kompetisyon ang tunay na layunin ng pamamahayag.

"Ang misyon natin ay ang pagsulat na ang layon ay ng maging tulay sa pagitan ng mga mahirap unawain at ng karaniwang Pilipino, isang prinsipyo na siyang pinakapuso ng Project Pandayan," ani Landicho.

Bilang pagwawakas ng buwanang pagsasanay, ginanap noong Nobyembre 18 ang Completion Ceremony upang kilalanin ang dedikasyon at pagsusumikap ng mga kalahok. Higit sa lahat, ipinapaalala ng Project Pandayan na ang pagiging mamamahayag ay hindi lamang talento o kaalaman—ito ay isang tapat na serbisyong nakaugat sa malasakit sa kapwa at sa komunidad.

Kumamada pa ng isa pang panalo ang Mindoro State University bago ito lumayag patungong Marinduque upang katawanin ang intitusyong para sa STRASUC ’25, matapos pataubin ang Divine Word College of Calapan sa katatapos lamang na game ng Womens Volleyball ng Intercollegiate, sa Sentrong Pangkabataan, ngayong gabi, Nobyembre 21.

Unang set pa lamang ng laro ay nagpakitang gilas na agad ang Lady Knights sa pangunguna ni Nicole Regaspi na agarang pinalobo ang kanilang kalamangan.

Nagawa pang makaagwat ng Lady Halcons ngunit matibay ang depensang ipinakita ng kabilang koponan, 25-20.

Pagpasok ng ikalawang set ay maagang nagkaroon ng momentum ang Lady Halcons ngunit agaran itong binasag ng Lady Knights na tila ba’y nagsasagutan na lamang ito ng mga puntos. Sa huli napasakamay ng DWCC ang 2nd set, 21-25.

Pagtungtong ng huling yugto ay pinangunahang muli ni Regaspi ang opensa ng Lady Knights at matibay nitong iginapang ang koponan, hindi na nagawang makahabol pa ng Lady Halcons sa kalamangan ginawa ng MinSU, 15-7.

Maricon Panaligan and John Paul Binay of Mindoro State University earned second runner -up in the Mr. and Ms. CCAA 2025 held last November 19 at the Kalap Gymnasium of the City College of Calapan.

Despite tight academic schedules and limited preparation time, the two proudly represented the university and finished strong in the competition. Panaligan shared that managing her thesis, reports, and on-the-job training made the journey challenging, but she held on to her faith, saying she trusted that “everything will fall into place.”

Binay echoed a similar sentiment, reflecting on the value of the experience. He said that not taking the crown taught him an important lesson about accepting defeat positively and using it as motivation to grow.

Both candidates extended their gratitude to everyone who supported them throughout the event, especially their coaches, Sir Mark Evangelista and Sir David Manongsong, for their guidance, patience, and dedication.

𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗣𝗧 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗼, 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗩𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀

ADAPT for Bluer Coasts and Community Resilience Project, a four-year initiative led by PATH Foundation Philippines, Inc. (PFPI), is now mobilizing local communities, LGUs, and government agencies across Mindoro to strengthen climate resilience.

During the launch yesterday, November 19 at Balai Mindoro in Calapan City, it was stated that the initiatives aim to protect vulnerable coastal communities in Oriental Mindoro that are facing increasing climate and socio-economic pressures, with support from the UK Government’s Climate and the Ocean Adaptation and Sustainable Transition (COAST) Facility.

ADAPT will be implemented in 12 municipalities across Oriental and Occidental Mindoro, focusing on areas with rich biodiversity but high exposure to climate risks.

Its launch brought together representatives from national government agencies, local government units, and people’s organizations, following a scoping workshop where stakeholders aligned priorities and drafted early action plans.

At the core of the project are the three strategic pillars of the COAST Facility—Protected, Productive, and People.

Under “Protected,” ADAPT will advance nature-based solutions such as mangrove and coral restoration. The “Productive” pillar supports sustainable livelihoods through climate-smart aquaculture, improved seafood supply, and expanded market access. Meanwhile, the “People” pillar strengthens inclusive leadership by ensuring women, youths, IPs, small-scale fishers, and persons with disabilities have a formal voice in community decision-making.

Project leaders emphasized that ADAPT is designed to be community-led and inclusive, grounded in PFPI’s long-standing Population, Health, and Environment (PHE) framework.

Program Manager Recamar Guiñares stated that the project’s goals will be achieved through the active participation of local stakeholders. PFPI Executive Vice President Dr. Joan Regina Castro also highlighted innovations such as women-managed marine areas and local climate-health dashboards that link ecosystem health directly to human well-being.
