Today, August 21, marks the 43rd anniversary of the assassination of then-Senator Benigno โ€œNinoyโ€ Aquino Jr. This day is dedicated to honoring his life, courage, and contribution to the struggle for democracy, as well as remembering the event that helped spark the 1986 People Power Revolution.

Ninoy was among of the prominent critics of Martial Law under the dictatorship of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. Despite his imprisonment and years of exile in the United States, he refused to be silenced, and continued to speak for democratic reform and political freedom.

In his return to the Philippines on August 21, 1983, Ninoy was shot and killed at what was then known as the Manila International Airport - an assassination that shocked the nation and became a major turning point in the Philippine history. Filipinos' outrage over his death ignite the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, ending Marcos' 20-year dictatorship.

Through his patriotism and remarkable will to act, the nation once oppressed found new courage, inspiring younger generations to continue walking the path of truth, justice, and freedom he helped reclaim. #

Ipinagdiriwang taun-taon tuwing ika-14 ng Agosto ang isang mahalagang anibersaryo sa kasaysayan ng bansa. Bilang bahagi ng mandato ng Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF), isinasagawa nito ang pananaliksik at dokumentasyon sa wikang Filipino at iba pang mga wika sa Pilipinas. Saklaw din ng gawain nito ang pagbuo ng mga sanggunian at pamantayang pangwika, pagsasalin, at paglalathala ng mga materyal na pangwika at pampanitikan.

Sa paggunita sa ika-35 anibersaryo ng pagkakatatag ng KWF, nakikiisa tayo sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa 2026 na may temang โ€œWikang Filipino at AI: Kasangkapan sa Pananaliksik at Tulay sa Yaman ng Impormasyon.โ€ Itinatampok ng tema ang makabuluhan, mapanuri, responsable, at etikal na paggamit ng artificial intelligence (AI) bilang katuwang sa pananaliksik at bilang tulay sa mas malawak na yaman ng impormasyon.

Nagbibigay ang mga bagong teknolohiya ng panibagong paraan upang mahanap at maproseso ang impormasyon. Sa gitna nito, nagpapatuloy ang gawain ng KWF sa pananaliksik at pagbuo ng mga sanggunian para sa pag-aaral at paggamit ng Filipino at iba pang wikang Pilipino.

Ngayong Araw ng Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino, ang ating pagbati ay nagiging panawagan sa bawat salitang bibigkasin, nawaโ€™y manaig ang dangal, pagmamahal, at malalim na pagpapahalaga sa ating pinagmulan. #

"I convinced myself that I am, and will always be, a failure because it was easier than believing I could be more. There were moments when we doubted ourselves, moments when we questioned whether we were capable enough, intelligent enough, or strong enough to continue. And now, I never imagined that I would one day stand before a crowd and receive a cm laude award," he stressed.

Dumanais expressed his surprise upon learning of the distinction just a day before graduation. Though he was not a consistent awardee in his younger years, he shared that as he matured, he came to realize that excellence is not merely bestowed but embraced. Dumanais spoke with pride as the once naรฏve 18-year-olds he had come to know now stand ready to serve their communities.

Invoking the Latin phrase Audentes Fortuna Iuvat, commonly translated as "Fortune Favors the Bold," Dumanais reflected on the mistakes, failures, and disappointments that shaped his perspective. He stressed, however, that true change demands more than adversity alone.

John Carlo Dumanais also received โ€˜Best Senior Intern Award: Philippine Orthopedic Centerโ€™ award and Service Leadership Recognition. #

๐—ฉ๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—˜๐——๐—œ๐—–๐—ง๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ฌ ๐—”๐——๐——๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ฆ l "Nursing is an art, and we are the artists," Christian Banan declares on behalf of the BS Nursing graduands

"Nurses create masterpieces that walk out of hospital doors, return home to their families, and continue living their stories," a remark that echoed from Christian Neil U. Banan, Class Valedictorian of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Batch Selenite, as he delivered a message for the BS Nursing graduates during the Clinical Graduation held at the UEP Gymnasium, June 24.

As he started his message, Christian Banan reflected on the days when they were still naive and curious of what the program would give them. Some took the program to help other people, some chose it as a childhood dream, and others were inspired by family.

But after years of lectures, examination, return demonstrations, and hospital duties, for Banan, their answers changed.

"Nursing stopped being something we studied. It became something we lived," he stressed.

While acknowledging that nursing is grounded heavily in rigorous sciences like pharmacology, anatomy, and pathophysiology, Banan emphasized that what truly elevates the profession is its deeply human element.

โ€œIf nursing were only science, a machine could do what we doโ€ฆ What makes nursing extraordinary is that beyond the science lies something deeper... Our canvas has never been made of cloth. Our canvas is human life itself,โ€ he stated.

In a striking metaphor that resonated deeply with the audience, he compared clinical interventions to an artist's brushstrokes. While traditional artists use paint and brushes to display masterpieces in galleries, nurses use knowledge, skill, and empathy to heal.

As his speech continued, Banan was honest about what the white uniform hides. He spoke of sleepless nights, tears after difficulties, anxiety before entering a patient's room, and days when they felt overwhelmed and exhausted.

Reflecting on personal growth and the discipline demanded by the profession, he touched upon a well-known personal trait: a strict dislike for procrastination.

โ€œIn nursing, delays have consequencesโ€ฆ Patients cannot postpone emergencies. Care cannot wait for convenience. Lives do not pause because we are unprepared,โ€ he explained.

He emphasized that resilience is not about never falling, but about finding the courage to rise every single time. The true masterpiece created over the years was not just clinical competence, but the stronger, more compassionate individuals the students had become.

Looking toward the future, he left his fellow graduates with a powerful charge to balance clinical excellence with genuine empathy.

โ€œMay we never lose our humanity in pursuit of excellence. May we never lose our compassion in pursuit of competence.โ€

Ending his message, he reminded the Batch 2026 that the ceremony was not the finish line. For Banan, the recognition and the diploma they will receive was not an ending. It was permission to keep growing, and keep serving.

"The masterpiece we create will no longer be measured by grades or case presentations. It will be measured by the lives we touch, the comfort we provide, the hope we inspire, and the difference we make," he emphasized.

"The canvas awaits us. Let us go forth and create something beautiful,โ€ he ended.

Christian Neil Banan was also a recipient of the following awards:
- Most Proficient in Community Health Nursing
- Outstanding Student Leader Awardee
- Excellence in Journalism Award
- Outstanding Layout Artist Award
- Philippine Nurses Association-Northern Samar Chapter Awardee
