It's been a month since the shaking ground and broken homes. We reach out and act as hope. Every person tells a different story, a tragedy or a misery. But all hope is not lost as we are resilient and we will stand back building our homes and future like sandcastles at the beach.

Hello admin, please hide my identity, just call me Jen. This experience happened during the last week of May 2025. Dili siya super scary pero true gyud siya nga experience namo. Supposedly, lima jud mi ka friends nga na-assign og make sa leis para sa culmination sa graduating CAS seniors. However, tulo na lang mi ang naghimo. Since dinalian man siya, naabtan jud mi og gabie pagka-next day ana.

That evening, naa mi sa ASMB 1. Naabtan jud mi og mga around 8 PM og hinimuay, and apurado na kaayo ang usa namo ka friend nga si Nami nga manguli na jud daw kuno mi. Wala ra to nako gi-mind kay naanad ko nga mangapura jud siya kay need niya nga permi sayo mo-uli. So, nag-start na lang mi og clean sa room and of course, gi-close ang mga windows. Samtang busy mi og panirado with my other friend pa jud, nga si Lia, naa koy na-sense nga naay shadow nagbarog sa gawas dapit sa hallway. Imagine, closed na ang window and makita jud baya nimo kung naay murag figure, diba? If naay mo-agi or magbarog lang. So mao to, abi nakog naa jud tao. Ni-ask ko ni Lia if naa bay tao sa gawas, so maong iyang gilili kay natunong man sad duol siya sa door. โ€œWala,โ€ tubag niya. So gilรญngi nako og balik, nya wala na mga indae. Nya 8 na baya ha, nya walay klase ato nga day. So sure jud ko nga kami na lang jud, ug ang guard. Pero imposible pud nga ang guard to kay nakit-an baya nako siya sa may front sa gate kay gikan baya pud ko naglabay sa basura.

So mao na to, nagtinutukay mi. While si Nami, naa sa pikas side busy ra sa pag-ihap sa leis if complete ba, nga murag wala ra jud siya naka-notice. After ana, nanggawas mi and gi-close namo ang door. Pero ka-imagine mo anang tingog sa murag karaan na wooden door nga inig close niya, naa siyay tingog na very creepy jud siya paminawon? Mao jud na among nadungog, and sure mi nga dili to ang door sa ASMB 1 kay dili baya wooden ang door. And also, to make sure, gi-balik namo og try nga i-close and open ang door, pero wala man. And again, nagtinutukay na pud mi ni Lia. Si Nami? Ambot lang kaha sa usa namo ka kauban, kay unbothered man kaayo siya. So wala na lang mi nagsaba para dili na lang pud mi samot mahadlok.

Pagka-next day ana, nagkuyog na pud ming tulo kay maghatud na mi sa final nga nahuman jud namo. And na-chikahan namo suddenly ang about sa kato nga noise and experience. Na-shock mi kay si Nami man gud ang ni-open sa topic, and mao diay nga nang-apura siya that night nga manguli na jud mi kay naa pud diay siyay na-feel and nakita pud. Which is the same sa akong nakita, shadow figure daw siya dapit sa may library.

Since that day, mura na lang pud mig mahadlok maabtan og gabie sa campus, specifically sa kana nga building, kay feeling namo magpakita siya anytime. Tabangg!!!

Standing here, enveloped by the stillness of nature, I'm reminded how lovely it is to stop and just breathe in the moment. Cebu can get inside your soulโ€” not with big gestures, but with its serenity and warmth. This place isn't a view; it's an essence you bring with you.

I donโ€™t usually write letters, but since itโ€™s already the season of your Spooktober Entries, allow me to share just a few of my spooky, eerie, or creepy experiences whatsoever sa CTU. There are plenty of times na I chose na lang to ignore some entities na akoang ma-feel, because itโ€™s much better buhaton than to actually engage with them kay that would be too creepy, โ€™di ba?

SB, Hometel, kanang CR sa kilid sa Hometel, even sa oval during 6PMs, sa BIT areaโ€”these are the places na makaana ko nga naa juy magparamdam. Mostly bata. Medyo nakuyawan ko ipadayon ni kay ako ra usa diri unya gabii na bayang dako ๐Ÿ˜‚. Kaniang mga places na akong gipang-mention, dili na yata ni sila surprising na naa juy mga entities na ga-exist.

However, earlier lang this month during sa preparation sa acquaintance party, nanglakaw mi padulong sa gate sa entrance to exit since adto man na muagi if gabii na kaayo. Then niagi mi anang agianan sa dance hall, kanang naay mga plants. Kana dira na area kay inig gabii na, medyo hadlok siya. Gadali ko og lakaw kay ako ra man isa ang naawahi. So, as expected, wala jud gasunod nako. Tapos mao to, nakadungog ko na naay ga-hum. I thought, akoa rang kauban nga gauna nako, pero nakuyawan na ko at the back of my mind, kay nganong duol ra kaayo ang tingog tapos medyo layo-layo naman akong mga kauban. Ganahan unta ko molingi to confirm pero bahala mo, wala nako buhata kay basin inig lingi nako, hagwaon kosโ€™ di-ingon-nato. So gi-paspasan nako akong lakaw, tapos niingon ko, โ€œhulata pud ko ninyo guysโ€ nga gasabin ug dagan-dagan gamay. Pag-tungtong nako tungod sa room ni Maโ€™am Lanny, mura og ni-bagting akong dunggan, unya mura ko og gibubuan og ice kay naglisod ko og lihok, kay ang tingog sa humming nga akong nadungog kay naa didto gikan. Muraโ€™g nitikig akoang liog kay gahi kaayo akoang paglingi didto sa may window sa classroom unya naay babae na gatan-aw sa akoa, nagdala ug bata, unya nikanta ug โ€œAng pasko ay sumapit tayo ay magsiawit.โ€

(just kidding, let's continue ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Pagkarealize nako nga naa na duol sa front door sa clinic akong mga kauban tungod sa ilahang tingog, nidagan na ko quickly kay mahadlok ko makakita sa nawng ato nila if ilaha kong atubangon. Then, pag-abot na nako sa akong mga friends, gi-ask nako sila if naa ba silaโ€™y nadunggan, giatay wala daw. So mao to siya, ihunong na ni nako kay nanlimbawt na akong balahibo.

When students are afraid to speak because questioning is mistaken for being โ€œdisrespectful,โ€ we donโ€™t just create quiet classroomsโ€”we create minds too scared to think out loud.

Youโ€™ve probably seen it happen. A student raises their hand, not to argue, but to ask. Maybe they didnโ€™t understand the lesson, or maybe they had a different take on something the teacher said. But instead of being met with a thoughtful response, they get a sharp look. A comment like, โ€œAre you challenging me?โ€ Or maybe just an uncomfortable pause that says: that wasnโ€™t the time or place.

Thatโ€™s the moment the room goes cold.

After that, the student learns. Not the lesson being taught, but something deeper: Donโ€™t speak up. Donโ€™t question. Just go along.

And thatโ€™s the real tragedy. Because when schools treat curiosity like rebellion, students begin to think twice before asking anything. They start keeping their thoughts to themselvesโ€”not because they donโ€™t care, but because they donโ€™t want to be called disrespectful, โ€œpasikat,โ€ or โ€œtoo much.โ€ The classroom becomes a place to stay small, not grow.

And letโ€™s not forgetโ€”itโ€™s not always the teacherโ€™s fault. Some educators are stuck in systems that demand obedience over dialogue. Some are overworked, tired, or were never trained to handle open conversations. But the result is the same: students become quiet not because they have nothing to say, but because theyโ€™ve learned itโ€™s safer that way.

โ€œSomewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals, that without distance closeness cannot cure.โ€

Some Catholic Schools encourage the practice of silent reflection, the practice can bring value to any educational setting. Silence offers a structure that encourages internal discipline and, as a result, greater capacity for free thinking. It is an essential element of a pedagogical practice that supports ideas of continual growth, possibility, and fundamental care of students.

Being discreet is often referred to as โ€œcontemplative reflectionโ€, according to an opinion piece of Edutopia โ€” a time to think about the meaning of lessons in the classroom or experiences beyond the school walls. While silent time is hard to fit into a busy day, it can help students become open to deeper and greater learning. Offering opportunities for students to sit without distraction helps them absorb content and remember it, can process the feelings and ideas expressed by their peers and consider the importance of other perspectives.

Students gain the confidence to express themselves and the strength to ask for help. At their age, students can sometimes struggle to find their voices and hear those of others.

If we truly want students to think critically, we have to make space for them to speak freely. That doesnโ€™t mean chaosโ€”it means creating a classroom where curiosity isnโ€™t punished, where questions arenโ€™t seen as threats, and where respect goes both ways. Because silence might look like discipline, but too often, itโ€™s just fear wearing a uniform. And we canโ€™t expect the next generation to think for themselves if weโ€™ve taught them that thinking out loud is wrong.
