Ipinag mamalaki namin kayo! Hindi lamang ng Pilipinas, kundi ng buong mundo. Dahil sa tatlong Pilipino na sina
Jessica Sanchez, Kirk Bondad at Veejay Floresca. Na nag pamalas ng kanikanilang galing, sipag, at tiyaga. Na sa loob lamang ng 24 na Oras, ay sabay sabay nilang naiuwi ang dangal at panalo ng Pilipinas. Hindi lamang ito simpleng panalo bagkus, sumimbolo ito ng ilang taong pagsusumikap.

Si Jessica Sanchez, ay unang nakilala sa American's Got Talent at pinalad na makasama sa semi finals, ngunit sa kasamaang palad ay hindi siya nag wagi.
At sa American idol season 11 naman ay nakamit niya ang titulong 1st runner up. Mahabang panahon rin ng mawala ang kanyang pangalan sa entablado at sinimulang pagdudahan ang kanyang Sarili. Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat, ngayong 2025 ay muli siyang nag balik sa American's Got Talent season 20 at itinanghal na champion.

Samantala si Kirk Bondad, Bago niya nakuha ang titulong Mr. International 2025, ay marami na rin siyang dinaanang bundok ng pagsubok. Tulad na lamang ng Mr. World na ginanap sa Vietnam noong 2024. Bagkus ay pinalad siyang makapasok sa Top 20, samantala ay hindi niya pagtagumpayan makuha ang titulo nito. Ngunit imbis na sumuko, ay ginamit niya ang kanyang karanasang ito para masungkit ang titulo ng Mr. International 2025.

Habang si Veejay Floresca, naman ay isang fashion designer, na noong Project Runway Philippines Season 1 ay sumubok at nakapasok sa 3rd place. Habang noong Miss Trans International 2022 ay pinalad siya na makapasok sa top 16. Ngunit hindi niya nasungkit ang titlo. Pagkatapos nito ay dumaan siya sa napakaraming diskriminasyon ng mga tao. At ngayong 2025 na Project Runway Season 21 ay tuluyan na nga niyang pinatunayan ang galing ng isang Pilipino at itinanghal na Project Runway Season 21 winner.

Ang tatlong kwento ng pagsasumikap na rin lang na ito ang sumisimbolo na: Ang tagumpay ay hindi lamang nakakamit sa isang kisap mata, na sa bawat pagkatalo, pagluha, o pagkadismaya ay madalas doon tayo nahuhubog at nabubuo habang nilalaan ang ating sarili sa tamang panahon

Today marks the September Equinox! An astronomical phenomenon where the time of day and night are nearly equal across the globe due to the Earth's axis being oriented in a way that allows the Sun to shine directly on the Equator, leading to the change of seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, wherein autumn starts in the north and spring in the south!

The Philippines play in the FIVB Menโ€™s World Championship for the first time was nothing short of inspiring. The Smart Araneta Coliseum filled with cheers as Alas Pilipinas made history, not only by joining the biggest volleyball stage but also by proving they could win.

Most memorable highlight came when Alpas defeated Egypt in four sets and gave the country its first World Championship win. With veterans Marck Espejo and Bryan Bagunas as leaders and youngbloods including Louie Ramirez and Owa Retamar, the team battled with heart and grit throughout.

Even if their next match against Iran was even more exhilarating. Even as they lost in five sets, the gritty competition with one of Asiaโ€™s top teams proved that the Philippines was capable of keeping up with the best. That outing earned praises not only from local fans but also from the international volleyball community.

Belongs to Alas Pilipinas ranked 19th against 32 nations and stood as the best Asian team in the event. More than the finish, their stint made the people proud and motivated everybody for greater goals for menโ€™s volleyball. Their debut did not just win a game; it showed the world that the Philippines belongs on the global stage.

Thousands of Filipinos gathered in Manila and other cities today, September 21, 2025, which is also the anniversary of Martial Law back on September 21, 1972.

Today, the Filipino people protested against the rampant corruption in the Philippine government tied to the flood-control issues that have happened over the last few months, which are worth over โ‚ฑ545 billion.

The protests, "Baha sa Luneta" and "Trillion Peso March", the largest in years, came amid public backlash and outrage over officials and contractors using taxpayers' money while the country faces poverty and continuous flooding during disasters.

The protests coincided with the 53rd anniversary of the martial law declaration, where Filipinos all around the Philippines call for justice, accountability, and reforms to end corruption once and for all.

Many, such as students from universities, those from religious sectors, and all who demand immediate action and transparency, bravely marched over for us Filipinos to have reform once and for all.

To every protester marching onward during the rally, many Filipinos praise and appreciate the bravery you have all shown for our country to gain better governance, and to deepen the importance of protecting the public funds which are meant for disaster welfare.

Intramurals for the DCT Senior High School Department has finally come to an end. Day 5 and 6 were the most thrilling part of the week as each team gave it their all to achieve victory. They showed their strength, determination, unity, passion, and the loudest cheers for their team.

Each team participated in the Bench Yell Competition where they showed their loud chants and unstoppable fighting spirit under the theme โ€œ๐—˜๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฏ๐˜† ๐—›๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ, ๐—จ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜.โ€ The DCT Senior High School facilitators also had a Teachersโ€™ Exhibition Game where they showcased their skills in sports and camaraderie with one another. The court was filled with loud cheers from students, and the games were fun and intense.

The Intramurals week became a time of growth for everyone. New friendships were built along the way, and sportsmanship and camaraderie were evident. Students learned to accept defeat, gain lessons from it, value unity, and celebrate each otherโ€™s victories. Beyond the awards and medals, the true triumph is keeping the Dominikano spirit alive.
