Warrior’s Scribe, Cebu City (2026)

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 | From the Ground Up

5.
Look, witness the child that sleeps in the front of the jeep. The birds that flock on top of the cables. Trees dappled in afternoon sun. the pebbles that clutter around your shoes. The red-yellow-blue-pink graffiti that says “freedom”.

4.
Feel the hard earned calluses that grace your fingertips. A stray cat grazing your leg. The wind that flows through your hair. Metal rails that still seep warmth.

3.
Listen to the way your grandmother says your name. The slow pit-pat of the rain on your classroom window. The two friends gossiping behind you about the latest chika.

2.
Let the smell from your favorite karinderya comfort you. Breathe in deep, and recall the scent of childhood laughter.

1.
Taste the sweetness that lingers from your first kiss.

0.
Finally, remember what it feels like to be loved, and live doing so.

🗓️ | 𝗢𝘀𝗺𝗲ñ𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘆

Some legacies are measured by the office held; others, by the nation they served.

Today marks more than just a special holiday; it commemorates the birth anniversary of a Visayan leader whose legacy was rooted in service, unity, and public duty.

Sergio Osmeña Sr., the “Grand Old Man of Cebu,” served as the fourth President of the Philippines and the former Governor of Cebu. His service was especially evident when he helped reestablish the Commonwealth government in Tacloban on October 23, 1944, following the liberation of the Philippines.

His legacy was also defined by unity. The factions of the Nacionalista Party eventually reunited, and in the 1938 elections, the Nacionalistas won all 98 seats in the National Assembly.

Sergio Osmeña Sr. devoted himself to the welfare of Filipinos and contributed to the restoration of Philippine freedom that we enjoy today. For his dedication to bringing Filipinos together, Osmeña was honored as the “Apostle of National Unity,” reflecting his commitment to public service.

On Osmeña Day, may the “Grand Old Man of Cebu” remind us through his legacy that unity is not the absence of differences, but the willingness to move forward with a shared commitment to serve the nation.

"Si Maria ang buntagon nga nagbalita sa pag-abot sa Adlaw na Katarungan.”

A reflection inspired by Saint Alphonsus Liguori, reminding us that the birth of Mary marks the dawn of our salvation—a quiet, radiant light preceding the coming of Christ. Her life stands as a testament to pure grace, humility, and unwavering devotion to God’s divine plan.

Every September 8, the Catholic faithful commemorate the birth of our Blessed Mother, who brought hope to a world waiting for redemption. What began with her simple, humble "yes" became the gateway through which love and salvation entered humanity.

So on this Feast of the Nativity of Mary, let us not merely celebrate her as a figure of the past. The world today needs a generation that mirrors her faith—a youth willing to embrace humility, surrender to God’s will, and bring light, compassion, and healing to a broken society.

𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐔𝐒 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 | Young journalists gather as Cebu City opens DSPC 2026

The Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC) 2026 officially opened today, Sept. 7, 2026, gathering 3,216 student journalists and participants from schools across Cebu City, with the theme, “Mapanuri, Mapanindigan, at Mapanagutang Pamamahayag,” at Zapatera Elementary School.

The opening program, hosted by Mr. Dennis Tecson and Ms. Chariss Gabisay, began with the national anthem and a solemn prayer led by Mr. Luffy Descartin.

Following this, Zapatera’s very own principal, Mrs. Lily Lasula, welcomed all the participants.

In her opening remarks, Lasula urged the young journalists to “let every story make a difference,” emphasizing that the press conference is not only a venue to write, report, or compete, but also an opportunity to recognize the profound responsibility that comes with wielding the pen, amplifying voices, and illustrating essential truths.

The program proceeded with a disaster risk reduction and management reminder from Mr. Elias Dominic Perales, followed by the rationale presented by the Education Program Supervisor for Filipino, Dr. Maviric Ople, and the general guidelines from Mrs. Allyssa Geraldez.

Through these segments, all those present in the Zapatera Gymnasium were reminded that safety, integrity, and respect are foremost in all endeavors—journalism-wise or not.

Thereafter, all young journalists were recognized as Mr. Rex Ebarle presented the participants by category, giving each one a chance to stand and receive an encouraging round of applause.

Following the recognition of the young journalists, Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Nimfa D. Bongo delivered an inspirational message, portraying the life of Dr. Jose Rizal as a testament to the power he wielded through only his pen.

She recalled how Rizal’s words inspired and awakened Filipinos, emphasizing the influence journalism can have in shaping a society.

“His life reminds us that words when anchored in truth and courage can challenge oppression, awaken consciousness, and inspire a nation. This is how powerful the pen can be,” Dr. Bongo said.

The program continued with the recitation of the Journalists’ Creed by Ms. Kris Howee P. Lapuz, reaffirming the participants’ commitment to uphold truth, integrity, and responsibility in their work as young journalists.

It then concluded with closing remarks from the OIC-Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Lyra L. Illaga, who encouraged the participants to carry these principles as they take on the challenges of the press conference.

“Atu balikun ang atu crown (Let us reclaim our crown) to be the top [division] for the upcoming Regional Schools Press Conference. That is my challenge,” she said, urging the delegates to work toward bringing the title back to Cebu City.

As today’s events and competitions commenced, the DSPC 2026 sets another round of competition among Cebu City’s young journalists, as they put their skills, knowledge, and journalistic principles to the test.

More than a competition for recognition, the event serves as a call for student journalists to remain mapanuri, mapanindigan, at mapanagutang pamamahayag—using their pens to seek truth, amplify voices, and fulfill their responsibility to the communities they represent.

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 | ‘Tis the Season to be Jolly

What are you so happy for?

It is only September.

Yet somewhere, a Christmas tune muffles the noise of another ordinary day. Somewhere, neon lights are being untangled from boxes that welcomed their hibernation following last year’s hustle. Somewhere, an overworked graphics artist breathes a sigh of relief after finally completing the obligatory declaration: BER MONTHS NA!

It is almost funny how quickly we become excited.

September arrives, and suddenly the year pivots. The air carries more anticipation, and the days ahead are painted with festivities and the familiar promise that, somehow, things will feel lighter once December comes.

But this year, the question feels worth asking again.

What are we so happy for?

Because the calendar may say September, but many of us are still trying to catch up to the months that came before.

For the school community, the year has not exactly moved in a straight line.
A classroom becomes a screen; an exam date slips further down the calendar. The days rearrange themselves, but the stack of requirements and expectations do not. Behind glowing screens, our lessons continue, deadlines inch closer, and through it all, we all keep trying to catch up.

In that way, perhaps these experiences echo something larger: a country constantly learning how to carry on in the middle of interruption and change.

We adjust. We charge our devices whenever electricity returns. We wait. We check group chats. We ask “Way klase, ma’am?”
We complain, laugh, submit what we can, and prepare for whatever is hurled at us next.

And beyond the classroom, people, too, have learned to move through predicament in their own ways.

Communities recover out of necessity; households make do; residents navigate environmental uncertainties; citizens watch another political controversy unfold. And together, people huddle—waiting for the next headline, the next hearing, the next announcement.

Then September arrives.
And somehow, we are expected to smile. Next to the glare of these jubilant Christmas displays, it feels wrong to respond with anything other than the same euphemistic light.

Yet to be happy can sometimes feel like betraying the versions of ourselves that suffered. And sometimes, looking around makes it harder to find a reason to be happy.

So, maybe, we set some of that weight down—if only for a moment. Not because the fears of tomorrow have disappeared, or because the grudges of the past no longer matter, but because they do not have to occupy every moment we have.
We can still live within the warmth of bright lanterns and rhythmic carols.

Not because we do not care, not because we no longer care. But because hoping for a better future should not mean postponing every small joy until it arrives.

And forgetting the cherished nostalgia of Christmas would feel like erasing the version of ourselves that once lived without any problems. Or, rather, the version that was protected from experiencing them.

Back when deciding which cartoons would broadcast after class was our biggest worry. Or if Santa Claus were real. Back when we hurried downstairs because the scent of sweet marinade mixed with hot dogs had slipped through the crevices of the room.

Yet no matter how many flowery jingles fill the season, natural disasters will still occur. And when they do, the gaps in preparation and infrastructure become impossible to decorate away.

Maybe that is what makes the Ber months so strange. They arrive carrying the expectation of uncomplicated cheer at a time when many people are simply trying to make it through another exhausting day.

But perhaps, happiness was never meant to be proof that everything is fine. Perhaps it does not have to be an outright shut out of the real world.

Perhaps we laugh because we are tired.
Perhaps we listen to Christmas tunes because they remind us of things still worth anticipating.
Perhaps the little joys matter precisely because the bigger picture often feels overwhelming.

Enjoying the season does not mean abandoning the anger that demands accountability. It does not mean forgetting our democratic instinct to ask for better. There is nothing wrong with finding warmth in a difficult year—the danger comes when warmth becomes a reason to stop looking at the cold.

The Ber months do not exactly promise that the world will be gentler or more merciful. However, it gives us a moment to breathe. A moment to look around and realize what really matters.

What keeps us going.
Why we must continue demanding better.

And we can only hope that the next Ber months will consume less of ourselves.

So we ask again, this time with more regard:
What are you so happy for?
