: Gov't to probe flood control projects

President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. (PBBM) acknowledged the failure of flood control projects and announced plans of an investigation into the said projects during his State of the Nation Address (SONA) today, 28 July 2025, as several areas remain under a state of calamity on the heels of the monsoon and typhoons.

The investigation is set to cover flood control projects within the last three years. PBBM assured the public the findings will be published for transparency. He emphasized there will be consequences for the people found at fault when the investigation concludes.

In the education sector, PBBM announced plans to complete 40,000 new classrooms for the remainder of his term. He also lauded the launch of the Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning (ARAL) program and posed plans of enhancing early childhood care and development. Additionally, he stated the government will begin granting Presidential Merit Scholarships to all high school students who graduate with highest honors.

PBBM carries on amid calamity

Today, 28 July 2025, President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. faces the nation for his 4th State of the Nation Address (SONA) at the Batasang Pambansa Complex.

This is no ordinary address as this is no ordinary time. While the presidential podium is being prepared, parts of the country are still reeling from the effects of the recent calamity.

In this moment of crisis, the nation seeks clarity, action, and courage. The floodwaters rise, and so does the people’s call for truth.

‎They provided daily necessities like food, clothing, and blankets, with the notable addition of literature. Beyond material support, they also contributed their time by leading reading sessions and orientations on the plans for continuing education.
‎
‎"Seeing the children at the evacuation center broke my heart; there was just something about them that really stayed with me. My hands were full of scratches from helping but that’s part of it. That’s love in action,” Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) President Jhon Joseph Apostol said in an interview with The Hat Tribune.
‎
‎This was not just aid—it was compassion in motion. This was how Project Serbisyo, Aral at Lingap para sa Bayan (SALBA) BIDA appeared on the ground: service grounded in authenticity, and education influenced by compassion.

Dear Frontliners: Thank You for Your Selfless Sacrifices

From the moment we are born, each of us is given a purpose—one that we nurture as time passes. As we grow older, we face countless challenges that impact not only ourselves, but the community as well. These obstacles shape us and push us to grow as a person.

In the midst of these trials, some people meet the worst-case scenario—and others are left to rebuild their lives. Yet even in these irreversible events, there are those who rise above and dedicate their lives to helping others. We call them our frontliners.

These individuals have devoted themselves to serving those in need, regardless of the circumstances. They continue to brave danger and uncertainty—searching for people who need their aid. They risk their own lives for the safety and well-being of others.

That is why we express our deepest gratitude to our frontliners—rescuers, medical professionals, volunteers, and every other person who has endured blood, sweat, and tears in the line of service. Your sense of duty and spirit of bayanihan have saved more lives than can be counted by any tally. You have worked tirelessly—not just for your families and friends, but for the entire community.

To all our frontliners—thank you for your selfless sacrifices. May every "thank you" fuel your relentless desire to serve our community with the burning passion that resides within your hearts. Your legacy will live on within every Calasiaoeño.

"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him." — Nahum 1:7 testifies that even through times of disaster, we can trust in the Lord as our refuge.

Amid raging storms that ravage our lands, we can remain calm for we are safe within our Heavenly Father's hands. Floods may rise, yet our faith will not drown.

The ripples of devastation that these calamities bring are inevitable, but fear not—for we are never alone. We will face this storm together, as a community, as a whole.

In times like these, we need each other more than ever. Let us help each other with the sheer goodness in our hearts and the spirit in our veins.

We are all on the same boat; no storm will hinder us from paddling towards safety. May we stand with strength and in solidarity—replacing a cliched story of resilience with one founded on faith.

Behind every young journalist is a mentor who has made a great difference in their lives. They were the ones who constantly reminded us that our voice mattered and the ability we had to speak the truth.

To Dr. Daisy Mendoza-Barongan and Dr. Annaliza F. Aguila, we tip our hats off to you and thank you for being more than just our advisers in this school publication—you were patient teachers, a guiding light, and our biggest supporters. You cheered the loudest in the room in every achievement we received and we cannot thank you enough for all the efforts you have given. You believed in our potential even when we doubted ourselves, and for that, we are forever grateful.

As you step into your new roles as school heads, we celebrate this milestone with you. We know the same passion and excellence you brought to The Hat Tribune will now inspire a new generation of campus journalists.
