33rd Family Day

As the thirty‑third annual Family Day approaches, it affords an opportune moment to reflect upon the enduring bonds, cherished traditions, and shared experiences that have defined our family for more than three decades. Over the years this occasion has served not merely as a gathering, but as a testament to the strength, resilience, and mutual support that sustains us. It is a time to honour the legacies of past generations, to listen to their stories, and to reaffirm the values of unity, compassion, and gratitude that continue to guide us.

In commemorating this significant milestone, it is likewise fitting to look forward with resolve and optimism. This Family Day presents an occasion to create fresh memories together, to deepen interpersonal connections, and to commit anew to the principles of respect, understanding, and love. May the thirty‑third observance unite the family in celebration of all that has been achieved, as well as in anticipation of the promise that the years ahead hold.

SPORTS | Jaguars fall short of redemption, crumbling against TWA

EUC Jaguars bow out of gold medal bid, falling to TWA in the 3rd Inter-School Boys’ Volleyball Championship match at the Municipal Covered Court, today, September 21, 25-20, 25-27, 15-17.

The hardcourt buzzed with excitement as the two teams fought it out, with rising expectations on both sides.

TWA held the upper hand, clinching the twice-to-beat advantage after remaining undefeated throughout their campaign.

The Jaguars endured a sluggish start, committing errors and giving away easy chance balls early in the first set.

EUC though, not being fazed, took off and floored the pedal with their soaring spikes fueled by captain Kim Macahilas and open spiker Ace Cornejo, taking the first set, 25-20

Struggling to keep up the pace, the Jaguars were riddled with errors, which the Academicians capitalized on.

What they lacked in composure, they made up for in determination, but sadly, it wasn’t enough, dropping the set, 25-27.

Tensions ran high in the final set, with EUC eager to extend the match and TWA determined to close it out early.

The Jaguars shone in the third set, with open hitter Joushua Maristela and opposite Lorenz Cortez surging in power, having the edge late in the set, 13-10.

With back-and-forth rallies being showcased in the set, it was EUC who was often losing them, and with the championship on the line, a service ace by the Academicians ended the hopes of the Jaguars.

Yielding the championship, the players went down in tears, it was then their coach, Ms. Monique Pimentel, who guided them throughout their run, embraced them and commended their hard-fought stint.

OPINYON | Lulusong ang Masa: Korapsyon Ibabagsak

Ang masang pagod na sa korapsyon ay mag mamartsa kahit sa baha. Mayroong mga protesta sa bansa ngayong Setyembre 21 sa harap ng patuloy na pagdami ng noturyus na pangalang nababanggit sa imbestigasyon ng mga anomalya sa flood control projects. Ang kilos-protestang ito ay inorganisa upang sumalamin sa dalawang nakaraang People’s Power movement ngunit sa pagkakataong ito, magdudulot ba ang kilos ng pagbabago? Para sa akin, dapat lang—alang-alang sa bayang mamanahin ng aking henerasyon.

Maraming kilos-protesta ang inorganisa sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa dahil sa lumalalang pagkadismaya ng mga Pilipino sa garapal na korapsyon sa pamahalaan. Ang mga pagtitipong ito ay nakasentro sa panawagang anti-korapsyon, ngunit pangunahing pinasiklab ng mga anomalya sa flood control projects kung saan ang pagnanakaw sa pondo ng bayan ay umaabot sa trilyong piso. Kapag ang mamamayan ay kailangang lumusong sa baha upang kumita ng perang sa huli’y nananakawin din—hindi na lamang makatarungan ang magprotesta, ito’y ganap na kinakailangan.

Ang pinakamalalaking pagtitipon ay sa Luneta at sa People Power Monument, na tinawag na “Baha sa Luneta” at ang “Trillion Peso March,” ayon sa pagkakabanggit. Maraming tao mula sa iba’t ibang lugar ang nagkaisa ngayong araw—iisa ang tinig: sabay-sabay na kumukondena sa korapsyon at humihingi ng katarungan. Ngunit sapat na ba ito? Maaaring oo, maaaring hindi, masisiguro lamang natin na ito’y simula—isang sulo na nasa atin kung papalawigin o hahayaan nating mamatay.

Ang katotohanang ang mga protestang ito ay humuhugot ng inspirasyon mula sa nakaraang dalawang People Power movements ay patunay ng bigat ng sitwasyon. Muli, nakikipaglaban tayo kontra sa korapsyon—ang salot na nagpapahirap sa ating bansang likas na mayaman. Masyadong marami ang nanakaw, at masyadong maraming buhay ang nailagay sa panganib kung saan wala naman dapat—walang dapat ninakaw, walang dapat nanganganib—kung hindi lamang sa pangungurakot at katiwalian ng mga nakaupo sa pamahalaan.

Ayon kay Vince Dizon, bagong talagang Kalihim ng Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), ang nawawalang pondo mula sa maanomalyang flood control projects ay maaaring umabot ng trilyong piso. Ang halagang iyon pa lamang ay sapat nang dahilan upang bigyang-katwiran ang galit ng sangkatauhan. Ngunit ang isinisigaw ng mga raliyista ay hindi lamang laban sa pagnanakaw na ito, kundi laban din sa mas malalim at matagal nang ugat ng korapsyon na bumalot sa ating pamahalaan sa napakahabang panahon.

Karapatan natin ang hustisya, at ang pagbabago ay dapat nating itakda. Ang mga kilos-protesta ngayong araw ay panawagan para sa katarungan at reporma—mga kahilingang hindi radikal o labis, kundi simpleng mga karapatan na matagal nang ipinagkait sa atin ng mismong gobyerno.

Kailangang may pagbabago, at dapat tiyakin na ito’y mangyayari. Ang huling dalawang People Power movements ay pinagbunsod ng parehong isyung nagpapaliyab ngayon—korapsyon. Isa itong laban na matagal nang nagaganap, at ang mga kilos-protesta ngayong araw ang ikatlong pagtatangka tungo sa pagbabago. Ngunit ngayon, hindi na dapat manatiling pagtatangka lamang—dapat itong maging tagumpay, alang-alang sa kinabukasan ng ating bayan, sapagkat tayo’y iisa nang sakay sa lumulubog na bangka, nilalamon ng bahang puno ng mga buwayang mula sa pamahalaan.
