"Apoy" ni Unknown

Hinahanap ko anino mo sa dilim, pinapagapang ang pang unawa sa kable upang mapagana ang bumbilya.
โ€ŽNang makaisip kung pa'no mga sasabihin sayo ng di ka mapapaso, patuloy lang tayong gugulo kung umiiwas ka sa linawag, wag mo sana diliman ng mabatid ko naman.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽMakasilip lang sa tunay mong nararamdaman ay pahirapan.
โ€ŽNaghihikaos ang utak kong pa'no uunawain ang buhol-buhol mong mga sinasalita na taliwas sayong ginagawa, tila kable ng kuryente.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽNgunit tumataas na ang konsumo,
โ€Žmas tumatagal ay masnakakaubos, nakakapundi.
โ€ŽKahit kandila pa ang gamitin ay mauupos pa rin kung sa ganito lang hahantong Mas mabuti pang itigil.

I guess itโ€™s true. U donโ€™t really feel pretty unless someone else says it. But here is the bigger thing: to feel pretty is a societal demand which perpetuates this idea that appearance is something that should constantly be kept intact; beauty is an endless performance; the face is to be interpreted with symmetry and meanings and labels: otherworldly, they say, fairy-like; big doe eyes or a siren stare, which is which, whatever fits the shoe โ€“ pretty is a name that girls have been taught to consider ever since they had to learn taking care of themselves on their own. The woman has been ruined simply so they could sell the idea that she has a choice to repair herself to be nicer.

But god, look at you. Fall further into what you are. The way you are is within the fact that you do not just see the sun, beyond that is an experience of its embrace until it burns the tissues of your skin. And the flowers are so much more than objects to be viewed, right? You touch their fragile stems and you pick up their gentle petals on the ground.

To feel pretty and to feel good about yourself are two different things. And if it helps, your chapstick is sweet, but Iโ€™d kiss you without caring about how chapped your lips have long been.

PNP RECUโ€“MIMAROPA Leads ABKD Awareness Session at Kalap Hall

Promoting safety, vigilance, and public responsibility, the Philippine National Police Regional Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Canine Unit (RECU) MIMAROPA conducted an information and awareness session titled โ€œAwareness of Bombs that Kill Lives and Destroy Properties (A B K D)โ€ at Kalap Hall.

The activity aimed to deepen the communityโ€™s understanding of bomb threats, proper bomb threat management, and the critical importance of reporting suspicious objects and behaviors. Officers from the EOD K9 Unit discussed the different types of bombs, demonstrating how each device poses serious risks not only to individuals but to entire communities. Through this demonstration, attendees gained practical knowledge on identifying potential threats and responding appropriately.

One important highlight of the session was the reminder on the legal repercussions of bomb jokes and false bomb threats. Under Presidential Decree 1727, commonly known as the Anti-Bomb Joke Law, making bomb jokes or spreading false information related to explosive threats is a punishable offense. The officers emphasized that such acts cause unnecessary panic, disrupt operations, and endanger public safety.

Held at Kalap Hall, the session closed with a renewed sense of alertness and accountability, reminding everyone that vigilance and cooperation are essential in preventing tragedies and protecting lives and properties.

๐๐„๐–๐’ | LTO to Start Impounding Unregistered E-Bikes on Highways on Dec. 1

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) will begin impounding unregistered electric bicycles and e-tricycles found operating on national highways starting Dec. 1, citing the need to ensure public safety and compliance with transportation laws.

LTO chief Markus Lacanilao said the agencyโ€™s action is supported by Section 5A of the Land Transportation Traffic Code (RA 4136), which requires all motor vehicles on public roads to be registered. Under this definition, e-bikes, e-trikes and other light electric vehicles are considered motor vehicles.

Lacanilao stressed that unregistered units make it difficult for authorities to verify ownership, establish liability in road accidents, and enforce accountability when crimes or violations occur. Those caught on secondary roads will be issued warnings and informed of proper routes.

The agency is also preparing to resume registration for certain e-bike models, although only units that meet specific safety standards will qualify.

The move has gained support from several senators, including JV Ejercito and Raffy Tulfo, who raised concerns over the rising number of road accidents involving e-bikes and the lack of licensing and insurance requirements for riders.

However, Bicol Saro party-list Rep. Terry Ridon questioned the legality of impounding privately used light electric vehicles, arguing that the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act (EVIDA) exempts them from LTO registration. He said the agency cannot rely on older memorandum circulars to override a later national law.

City College of Calapan (CCC) brought energy and color to the 91st National Book Week after successfully staging its Healthy Pajama Run, carrying the theme โ€œTulay ang Pagbasa sa Bukas na Puno ng Pag-asa,โ€ November 29.

The program opened with remarks from College Administrator Dr. Ronald F. Cantos, setting a bright tone for the activity. Both students, teaching staff, and non-teaching staff then joined an upbeat Zumba session led by the Groove Society, which served as the warm-up before the run.

A short Route Orientation guided runners from Plaza Del Gobernador to the City College of Calapan, where the crowd officially started the Pajama Run. Students ran in their playful and comfy sleepwear, adding humor and personality to the morning.

Before reaching the finish line, runners passed through an Obstacle Course that added excitement and challenge. After crossing the endpoint, participants were greeted by a splash-filled Hydro Party, creating a lively, refreshing atmosphere.

The event wrapped up with the Awarding of the Fun Run winners, followed by recognition of standout entries in the Book Character Costume Competition, showcasing creativity inspired by well-loved stories and characters.

CCCโ€™s Healthy Pajama Run proved to be a spirited and memorable way to celebrate National Book Week combining movement, imagination, and a shared appreciation for reading.
