Verdantia 2026 has officially concluded, but the experiences, lessons, and memories it shared will continue to inspire every delegate who became part of this meaningful journey.

What started as a simple gathering of student leaders turned into a powerful and transformative experience filled with discussions on leadership, resilience, service, and nation-building.

Each plenary session challenged us to think deeply about the kind of leaders we aspire to become.

We were reminded that leadership is not defined by titles or recognition, but by courage, accountability, and the willingness to create meaningful change for others.

Plenary 5, Hon. Peter John Enorio, Executive President of Subang Philippines, emphasized the vital role of student leaders in shaping the nation’s future.

His words, “Basta student leaders, mo kumbati gyud na pirmi,” served as a strong reminder to stand firm, persevere, and continue fighting for what is right despite challenges.

Meanwhile, in Plenary 4, Dyn Michael M. Lozana, Executive VP of Subang Philippines, delivered a powerful message that resonated with everyone when he said, “Leadership is staying when it is easier to leave.”

It reminded us that true leadership is built on resilience, integrity, and commitment even in moments of difficulty and uncertainty.

Verdantia 2026 became more than just a summit. It became a space for growth, connection, and inspiration where future leaders were empowered to share ideas, learn from one another, and strengthen their purpose. It reminded us that true leadership is measured by the positive impact we leave on people and communities.

To all the organizers, speakers, facilitators, and delegates, thank you for making Verdantia 2026 a meaningful and unforgettable experience. Your dedication and passion made this event truly successful.

As we move forward, may we continue to carry the lessons, values, and inspiration we gained from this journey. May every Vanguard continue to lead with integrity, compassion, and a strong desire to create lasting change.

Verdantia 2026 will always be remembered as a celebration of leadership, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of student leaders who choose to make a difference.

STRONG QUAKE JOLTS NORTHERN CEBU ANEW

A magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck Bogo City, Cebu, and neighboring towns, including Tuburan, at 3:22 p.m. today, April 6, 2026— marking another seismic event seven months after the previous major tremor in the area.

According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, the earthquake was initially reported at magnitude 5.4 but was later downgraded to 5.1, with a depth of 11 kilometers, and was located approximately 12 kilometers southeast of Bogo City.

The City’s Public Information Office reported no casualties and major damage after the quake, stating that the local officials immediately monitored the situation and reassured residents, especially those with family members outside the city.

With this, Cebu Technological University’s Office of the President released a memorandum directing all campus directors to coordinate with Local Government Units (LGUs) and Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices for the inspection of university buildings and facilities.

Dr. Jonita V. Literatus, the Officer-In-Charge, University President, emphasized that structural integrity must be verified before allowing students and personnel to re-enter campus buildings.

“Any damages or hazards identified must be reported to the University Director for Planning and Development,” she added.

Following the incident, Cebu Technological University - Tuburan Campus shifted today’s evening class to online modality, ensuring the safety of the student learners.

As of writing, the CTU -Tuburan Campus Director has yet to announce any class suspensions for the coming days.

Ikaw Technologist, malipayon ba ka? Lisud malipay samot nag wala pa naka tuon for the upcoming Midterm Exam🤦🏻‍♀️

We know it's annoying samot na kung naay mag sigeg pangutana kung naa ba kay notes, right? Your honest reaction would probably be like Vice Ganda a.k.a Erica Villavicencio from Beauty and the Bestie, “Di ako galit. Masaya lang ako!” bisag gihangak na. We all know kapoy mag tuon pero always strive for more and do your best.

Good luck and conquer the Midterm week, Technologists!✨

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁
𝘈 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘯 𝘣𝘺 𝖣𝖾𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗋 𝖦𝖺𝗅𝗅𝖺𝗋𝖽𝖾

During a congressional hearing, B**g Suntay drew backlash after narrating a sexualized “analogy” involving actress Anne Curtis—a remark delivered inside the halls of the House of Representatives of the Philippines that was later condemned by lawmakers and the public, prompting Curtis herself to call out the statement as misogynistic and unacceptable.

There is something unsettling when a joke travels farther than the policy discussion it interrupted. In a room supposedly reserved for legislation, national budgets, and matters affecting millions of Filipinos, a woman who was not even present suddenly became the center of a story she never agreed to be part of.

And the most troubling part is how familiar it sounded.

For decades, women have existed in the margins of conversations dominated by men—not as voices, but as references. They appear as metaphors, fantasies, punchlines. Their names are inserted into narratives not because they are relevant, but because they are convenient.

What happened in Congress was not an isolated slip of the tongue. It was a magnified version of a culture that has long been tolerated. The culture of the “harmless joke.”

The problem with labeling such remarks as humor is that humor has always been one of the easiest disguises for disrespect. A statement can be degrading, but once the word joke is attached to it, the burden suddenly shifts to the listener. Those offended are told they are too sensitive, too emotional, too incapable of taking humor.

But humor that diminishes someone else’s dignity has never been harmless. It only reveals who society allows to laugh—and who must remain silent.

More importantly, the setting where the remark was delivered carries weight. Congress is not a group chat. It is not a locker room. It is not a late-night talk show. It is a national institution funded by taxpayers, including the very women whose dignity should be protected within its halls.

Every word spoken there echoes far beyond the microphone.

When a public official casually narrates an imagined encounter involving a woman during an official proceeding, it quietly teaches a lesson to those watching. It tells young men that this language can pass as normal. It tells young women that even the highest institutions may still treat them as subjects of commentary rather than citizens deserving of respect.

And that is why the backlash mattered.

Because the issue was never about celebrity. The fact that the woman mentioned happened to be a well-known actress only ensured that the remark was heard. But the deeper problem is the same one faced by countless women whose names never trend online.

Disrespect does not require fame to exist.

Some may argue that the apology issued afterward should close the conversation. But apologies only address the moment; they do not erase the mindset that allowed the moment to happen in the first place.

Real accountability begins when institutions acknowledge that words spoken in power, carry consequences.

Because language shapes culture. And culture, in turn, shapes how a society treats its people.

If the halls of government cannot even maintain the most basic standard of respect in conversation, then the question becomes heavier than a single remark.

What kind of leadership is being modeled?

At the end of the day, the issue is not whether a congressman meant it as a joke.

The issue is why such jokes still find a place in rooms where laws are made.
