𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 || 𝐏𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭 𝐧𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚

Madalas, tinititigan ko ang aking mga kamay. Iniisip kung sapat ba ang bawat lakas na aking ibinibigay.

Ang numero ba ay tanda ng aking kahinaan? Isang pulang marka ba ang magdidikta ng aking kakayahan? O ang bubura sa isang matagal nang naipintang karangalan? Mga katanungang patuloy na naglalaro sa aking isipan.

Sa bawat dilat ng aking mga mata, kumakalam na sikmura'y pilit na iniinda. Hindi man marinig ang tilaok sa umaga, sa likod nito ay may malalim na kwento ng pag-asa. "Nakapanghihinayang ang mga oras na sana’y pahinga" ang mga katagang tuluyang ipinagkaila na aking naririnig sa kanila.

Kay ilap ng sitwasyon sa mga taong patas na lumalaban sa bawat pagkakataon. Isang linggo na ang lumipas, ngunit ang mga bakas ng sakit ay wala pa ring lunas. Isang linggo ng mabibigat na buntong-hininga at pagluha ng hindi mapigilang mga mata. Mahirap tanggapin na ang isang tapat na laban ay magtatapos sa ganitong uri ng kabiguan. Laban na ipinagkait ang matatamis na ngiti ng aking mga mahal sa buhay na aking pwedeng masilayan.

Hindi man makita ng karamihan ang aking naging karanasan sa bawat kamay na naging bahagi ng aking buhay. Batid ko na ang lahat ng ito ay may dahilan.

Dahilan upang bumangon,
Dahilan upang magpatuloy,
Dahilan upang magsumikap,
Dahilan upang patuloy na mangarap,
Dahilan upang maniwala,
Dahilan upang maghintay,

Sa bawat tunog ng orasan at sikat ng araw sa silangan, isang malakas na tinig na nagbibigay pag-asa ang laging naririnig at bumubulong na "kaya mo iyan." Patuloy na titingala, lalakasan ang loob, at magtitiwala sapagkat alam kong Siya ang aking kasama. Higit sa aking pangamba, aking isusulat ang susunod na pahina dahil hindi nagtatapos ang kwento ng pagsusumikap sa isang kabanata. ¶

𝐈𝐂𝐘𝐌𝐈 || 𝐂𝐨𝐄𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲 '𝟐‎𝟔

The University of Eastern Philippines’ College of Education (CoEd) officially honored its candidates for graduation during the Parangal and Hooding Ceremony held this past June 14, 2026. The ceremony, which commenced at 1:00 PM, transformed the campus venue into a launchpad for the next generation of educators, serving as a poignant reminder that this milestone is not an end, but the beginning of a lifelong commitment to the classroom.

The program opened with a candid reflection from the College’s Class Valedictorian, Kathy Uy of the Bachelor of Elementary Education. Her message resonated deeply with graduates who have ventured the grueling dual identity of being both learners and student-teachers.

"This recognition is special because (of) that chance—that opportunity to be here—brings us to this threshold," Uy shared. She challenged her peers to look beyond traditional metrics, asserting that college is not merely about "collecting grades and awards," but about the process of becoming. For Uy, the true measure of a mentor lies in human connection: "Teaching is not merely about instruction; it is the presence provided to students as they discover themselves. The world does not need perfect teachers, but teachers who are kind, patient, and passionate."

Building on this sentiment, Dr. Cherry I. Ultra, President of the University of Eastern Philippines, delivered an inspirational message that anchored the ceremony in the university’s identity. She lauded the graduates for their resilience, noting that they are now equipped to emerge as "globally competitive" educators—a testament to their adherence to the core values of the University of Eastern Philippines.

Transitioning to the keynote address, Dr. Roger formally introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Roque A. Irader, Chief Administrative Officer and Head of the Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) of UEP. Mr. Irader spoke with raw honesty about the weight of standing before future educators. Acknowledging that the professional terrain ahead will be filled with shifting challenges, he offered a reassuring promise: "Struggles and challenges may be different, but each of you has the potential to build a successful and meaningful life."

Mr. Irader’s message served as a guiding light, reminding the graduates of the professional integrity required to step into the classroom. "You cannot give what you do not have," he emphasized. "You are trusted. Your influence extends far beyond the four walls of the classroom. Continue to live your purpose and inspire those who will follow."

As the ceremony neared its conclusion, Ma’am Nelia offered a final, heartfelt charge to the cohort. Addressing them as individuals who are now "stronger, wiser, and ready to face the world," she urged the graduates to use their influence to transform lives in the communities they will soon serve.

The event reached its finale with a graceful vote of thanks from Sir Sergio S. Diaz Jr. of the College of Education Junior-Senior Classes Organization (CJSCO). He recognized the indispensable roles played by the university’s faculty and the College of Education staff, whose tireless guidance shaped the potential of every student present. As the graduates filled out of the hall, the atmosphere was thick with the weight of the mission ahead—and a palpable readiness to meet what is coming ahead. ¶

Today, we pause to recognize the beauty of our planet — the air we breathe, the waters that sustain us, and the land that gives us life. Earth Day calls us to act with purpose, to protect what we have, and to stand together in building a future where both people and nature can thrive.

As environmentalist Robert Swan once said, “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” Let this be our reminder that the responsibility lies with each of us — and that real change begins when we choose to care, act, and protect our Earth together.

“The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.”
— Alberto Giacometti

As the world commemorates World Art Day today, April 15, 2026, let this profound message resonate deeply into the abyss of silence and reach the souls of those whose aureate creativity is being shackled and shattered by the reverberations of doubt.

Art does not confine itself to mere aesthetic designs; rather, it transcends boundaries, standards, and preferences. It is more than just colors on canvas, curves on marble, or words on pages—it is a reflection of our immense and dynamic humanity, manifesting astonishing hues that serve as a bridge towards universes, lifetimes, and worlds we never knew existed. Art connects souls and allows one to live a thousand lives in a single span of time.

Whether expressed through songs, movements, rhetoric, images, or literature, art holds a singular preeminence that heals even the deepest wounds, unites even the most distant hearts, and illuminates even the darkest rooms.

Today’s celebration encourages everyone to value creativity not merely as a skill, but as an essential part of existence and a pulchritudinous manifestation of the soul. It stands as a testament that through art, we can truly understand who we are, what we can become, and be led towards the endless doors of possibility and celestial realities. ¶

𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊 || 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐄𝐝𝐒𝐂 𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞; 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐛𝐢 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞

Firm Intellectuals for Resilience, Service, and Transformation (FIRST) officially joined the race, April 14, 2026, as Hedric Marbibi and Justine Mark Portes filed their Certificates of Candidacy (COC) at the College’s Office for Student Affairs and Services. Signaling the official start of their campaign for the upcoming USC & CSC elections.

Heading the slate is Hedric Marbibi, a third-year Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English.

“To be in this position is indeed a huge responsibility, and I recognize that everyone here is willing to lead. But what sets me apart is how I choose to lead. I do not lead to be seen; I lead to make others feel seen,” Marbibi shared.

Marbibi emphasized his commitment to serving the students with utmost dedication and compassion. For him, understanding the realities of student life and addressing concerns that are often overlooked are his firm advocacies. He further expressed his goal to turn visions into positive results rather than leaving them as mere promises, stressing that an effective organization is built on collaboration and not just on rhetoric.

“Even before filing, we already prepared our plans through our General Plan of Action (GPOA). However, we understand that change is inevitable. That is why our priority is to listen to the collective voice of the students and take action based on their suggestions, because leadership should always reflect the people it serves,” he said.

Standing with him as the Vice President of the CoEdSC FIRST party is Justine Mark Portes, also a BSEd-English junior, and former member of The Accents.

“Running for vice president, it is not just my vision but the vision of the whole party—to empower every student in the College of Education to become good leaders in their own right. This is done by amplifying their voices and ensuring inclusivity in all matters. I know it sounds cliché, but it is the very core of the party,” Portes stated.

Portes also clarified why only the two of them filed the documents on behalf of the entire slate.

“As of now, we are under an asynchronous modality. Some of our fellow candidates could not join during the filing due to busy schedules, unexpected events, and other personal matters. There are no other reasons; it is just that the schedule did not align with the availability of the CoEd-OSA. The party promotes unity among its members, and our main strategy is simply to conduct the election with integrity and a clean mindset,” he emphasized.

The complete list of candidates of the FIRST party for CoEd Student Council is as follows:

President: Hedric Marbibi (BSEd-Eng 3)
Vice President: Justine Mark Portes (BSEd-Eng 3)

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐤

Today, April 8, 2026, the world dons a powerful hue of solidarity as International Day of Pink unfolds its fervent advocacy. Across continents, nations, and cultures, millions are embracing the color of defiance against bullying, discrimination, homophobia, and oppression: a vibrant and resolute stand against all forms of hate.

This year’s theme, “Echo,” amplifies the movement’s profound message. On this day, we are called to speak beyond confinements, transcend beyond borders, and break the chains of silence—giving rise to the powerful reverberations of being differently the same. This is for the courageous voices who redefined the meaning of being a human—to live and be loved freely for who you truly are, to resist oppression, to speak truth to power—and in doing so, have profoundly reshaped communities, nations, cultures, and societies into a diverse and ever-blooming abode. Their resilience and compassion continue to echo every narrative, hard-won right, battle fought, and fear-overcame.

The “Echo” theme burnishes particular significance this year, remembering and honoring pivotal moments that have transcended the rights and reverberated visibility of marginalized groups. It sheds light on the unceasing quest towards dignity and legal protection for diverse identities, celebrating the spirits and valor of those who paved the way for equality and greater inclusion.

“Progress is not an endpoint; it’s a continuous journey. To prevent regression, we must act now,”, said international pink day advocates, an urgent call to facilitate a radical paradigm shift through a proactive engagement emphasizing the crucial need to enlighten future generations, hold leaders accountable, and transform passive empathy into decisive, impactful collective efforts.

Today, let the echoes of justice, love, and unwavering resistance resonate more powerfully than ever before. By recognizing the rights of every individual, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, and culture, we are paving the way towards a more resilient, united, and peaceful societies that will not just bridge the gap of differences of today, but will continue to reshaping future generations into a more conducive, halcyon, and inclusive societies that cherish individuals beyond their differences. ¶
