As the holiday season starts, CTU-Tuburan bursts into a glamorous spirit and launches 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗼 𝘀𝗮 𝗖𝗧𝗨 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 on December 11, 2025, with a blast, featuring one of the most anticipated events—the Parol Making. With this year's occurring theme: 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙢. 𝘾𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙨 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝘾𝙏𝙐 𝙁𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮, the university stands with an ever-joyful commitment and dedication as they showcased their creativity, craftsmanship, and camaraderie collaboration.

Despite the unsettling weather condition during midday, the competition still reached its success, proving that each one is stronger than the storm on this momentous occasion. Each department went through hills and valleys, crafting their parols that not just illuminated the whole campus but also every soul in CTU and Filipino culture—highlighting the true essence of Christmas. After an excruciating deliberation, the winners clinched victory as follows:

🥇 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲: 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 (𝗖𝗔𝗦)
🥈 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲: 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 (𝗕𝗜𝗧)

These beaming crafts signify the true meaning of Christmas. It is not just a showcase of artistry, but it's a reminder of hope, unity, and the celebration of our Savior's birth.

Congratulations to all the winners and to those who participated in making Pasko sa CTU 2025 memorable!

Technologists, keep up with that unwavering spirit and shine radiantly!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 ₱𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝗡𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁, 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Only in the Philippines can we turn a national economic crisis into a “holiday challenge.” Suddenly everyone’s asking: “Can you make a Noche Buena for ₱500?” As if we’re auditioning for a budget cooking survival show nobody asked for.

And when government agencies and public figures proudly whip out their “₱500 Noche Buena budget,” acting like they just solved something? Heavens to betsy as we say in unison.

Here’s the thing: ₱500 is not a Noche Buena budget, it’s a cry for help. Let’s not romanticize this, Filipinos are experts at making things work. We’ve mastered the art of stretching everything from money, to time, to our patience with politicians. We can turn two pieces of ham into a whole family’s “special dish” with enough optimism and spaghetti sauce.

But being resourceful isn’t the point here.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀: 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹?
That a family feast should cost as much as an appointment with your nail tech? This isn’t creativity. This is systemic neglect seasoned with holiday glitter.

And the funniest part? the way some people parade this ₱500 list like it’s the new holy grail? Who are we planning for? A family of elves? People living in a parallel universe where groceries still cost 1998 prices?.

Let’s just say, people can make a ₱500 Noche Buena happen. Because Filipinos are magicians, we can summon love, laughter, and a charcuterie board made of ten-peso crackers paired with raisins if we have to. But should we be celebrating that? 𝘼𝙗𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙤𝙩.

𝗪𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲. We deserve leaders who don’t pat themselves on the back for telling families to shrink their holidays to fit an unrealistic budget.

If anything, the ₱500 Noche Buena budget should spark outrage, not applause. Because at the end of the day, a country that expects its citizens to celebrate Christmas with coins instead of comfort is a country that needs a serious wake-up call.

𝙉𝙤 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙏𝙤 𝙂𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙨 𝘼𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝘼𝙢𝙞𝙙𝙨𝙩 𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙮

As the world struggles with the occurring natural disasters, students seem to be restless with their studies, not prioritizing their safety—letting themselves catch up on deadlines, pending activities, and examinations.

There's no time to pause and recollect the pieces shattered by the typhoon; no room to stumble on your feet.

You probably heard the students' pleas, either your classmates, schoolmates, or even a friend. But why does it seem like they are not audible enough? Amidst their whimpers for understanding, for consideration—it's never heard or understood.

You might have seen yourself in this situation. A “good student,” they envisioned. Even if the wind blows harshly and the ground remains shaken, still, nothing can stop you from seeking a stable internet connection to acquire an update from your teachers. Some students might even climb up the hills or walk for miles to get to the municipality for electricity to function their devices. It's quite hilarious to think about it, right? But to dive deep into that thought, it's quite disturbing.

School campuses have this common holistic goal—to respond to the learners’ needs. This could mean assessing and equipping support through multiple ways: inclusively, progressively, socially, and safely. Yet, in times of crisis, some educators dare to tap out a message for another load of activities—reminding them of submission dates. Moreover, the worst part is when a student can't meet the standards and reasons out their living conditions, they get a cold shoulder and an unsympathetic response of “making excuses” or “reasoning out.”

Yes, it is essential that students should carry the weight of worrying about their education, but amidst the calamities, it's a complete mess to even think about it. How are they supposed to have the thought of learning when the world around them feels like shutting down?

How about those students who are quivering in their roofs, combatting against the strong blows of the wind and heavy pours of the rain? How about those who are gravely shaken by the rumbles of the ground? How about those who have lost their homes and loved ones?

Do they have to set aside their situation to make their pending tasks a priority to meet deadlines?

Sometimes, it's not about the students’ performance—it's the learning system. According to O'Sullivan (2021), for education programs to work effectively, they must be considered as a connected system—a fully integrated learning system in which all have the same clear approach and are based on a shared knowledge of how people learn and advance. Instead of putting students under pressure, providing students a space and time to process the disaster events would be a great help for them to internalize the situation, recovering from the aftermath without any academic uncertainties.

If we want our students to present themselves at their best, we have to give them their needs first. Prioritizing the students’ welfare is not a big deal for a campus that accommodates students’ well-being at all times. It does not mean excuses; rather, it's about having time to internalize what just happened and rise from the ruins. Only then could students be back on track again.
