They say history is written by the victors, but the truth? ๐Ÿง Itโ€™s captured, crafted, and told by the storytellers.

Look around you, the headlines, the art, the pulse of every movement that someone has to bring them to life.

Someone has to notice the details everyone else scrolls past, turn chaos into clarity, and give a voice to what matters.

That someone could be you.

The newsroom isn't just calling, itโ€™s waiting for the perspective only you can bring. Whether your weapon of choice is a pen, a paintbrush, or tech that builds the vision: your time to make an impact starts now.

๐‹๐Ž๐Ž๐Š | Odyssey's Aspiring Dancers Groove Through the Final Day of Auditions

USC-JPIAโ€™s Odyssey Dance Crew capped off their final day of auditions as aspiring dancers stepped into the spotlight at the Pelota Court this August 15.

The three-hour audition featured three segments designed to assess each applicantโ€™s individual skill, creativity, and ability to work in sync with others. Other than interviews, applicants were put through a series of performance-based evaluations which included collaborative exercises and the challenge of choreographing their own dance.

Carolinian DOA freshies recently gathered as the USC-JPIA successfully hosted ORSEM 2026: ANDAM: Stepping into Something Greater. Held from 8:00 AM to 12:00 NN at the USC Main Gym, the orientation officially kicked off the new academic journey for the incoming students.

The event was organized to guide freshies through department policies, cluster talks, and academic retention guidelines while helping them build new connections. Highlights included faculty introductions, the lively Block Cheers, and special performances.

To officially mark the beginning of their Student Training Program (STP), the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) fourth-year students, along with the rest of the fourth-year School of Business and Economics students, received their blessings and mission crosses during a dedicated send-off mass at the USC-DC Chapel today, August 12.

The Mission Sending served as a spiritual gathering to pray over the students before their deployment to their respective companies.

Fr. Donatus Kwame โ€œElormโ€ Akpatsa, SVD, presided over the mass. He highlighted a lesson from his seminary days, advising the students: "If you go to the field and you see people dancing from one leg, do not correct them, join them and dance on one leg. In time you can also tell them that itโ€™s possible to dance on both legs."

Fr. Akpatsa concluded his homily by reminding the students to bring Christ into the workplace through their professional commitments, and to always manifest what it means to be a Witness to the Word.

The Induction Ceremony for the USC-JPIA Board of Directors (BoD) and Commission on Elections (COMELEC) was held on the afternoon of August 3 at the Theodore Buttenbruch Hall.

The ceremony began its tradition through a holy mass presided by Fr. Elorm Donatus Kwame Akpatsa, SVD Chaplain-DC.

The program was formally opened with words of welcome by the incumbent secretary of the USC-JPIA Commission on Elections, Ms. Kristine G. Baes. Shortly after, the incoming BoD and COMELEC officers were formally recognized and took their oath for the new school year which was led by Dr. Challoner A. Matero

Ms. Cherimae L. Pino then took the floor to convey her words of inspiration. Former USC-JPIA President Abegail L. Paรฑares followed with her turnover speech through a video. Outgoing officers were also recognized for their service for the previous academic year.

The event concluded with words of gratitude from Eomer Von D. Cinco, incoming USC-JPIA COMELEC Chairperson. His speech was followed by Erianne Patricia Bernadette C. Abella, incoming USC- JPIA President. A lot of supporting cheers from Abella's co-officers erupted throughout her whole message and more so as she delivered her closing statement, "This is only the beginning, and I can't wait what this team will accomplish together."

The CPA testimonial dinner was a night filled with pride to honor the success of this yearโ€™s board exam passers. Colleagues and mentors filled the room, eager to recognize the hard work and strength it took to turn those long, sleepless nights of studying into the title of Certified Public Accountant.

The evening was a celebration of past sacrifices and a warm welcome into the professional world. As the new CPAs were honored, there was a shared sense of emotion, a reflection on the moments of doubt they faced and a reminder that their decision to never give up was the key to their success.

Congratulations to all the new CPAs, your journey is an inspiration for the next generation of accountants who are now dreaming.

The Cebu Federation of Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants (CF-JPIA) Accountancy Week 2026 concluded on July 18 at the Cebu Institute of Technologyโ€“University (CIT-U), with the University of San Carlos emerging as the Overall Academic and Non-Academic Champion.

The ceremony opened with an address from the President of PICPA Cebu, Atty. Kim M. Araรฑas, who emphasized that the integrity and values of the accountancy profession extend far beyond a one-week celebration. He urged future accountants to consistently demonstrate these core values to stakeholders in their future careers.

The spotlight shone brightly as delegates took the stage for an unforgettable Day 1 of CF-JPIA Week last July 12, 2026, held at the Cebu Institute of Technology-University (CIT-U). The day was packed with passion, filling up the room with fiery spirits, fueling the competition with shouts and chants as our endearing contestants showcase their incredible talent, charisma, and undeniable zeal as they represent their Houses.

A massive congratulations to our outstanding and fearsome representatives who conquered the pageant stage! Lenz Gajudo captured the crowd's hearts to proudly finish as the 1st Runner-Up, while Kirsten Perez radiated elegance, beauty and confidence, taking home the coveted crown as Miss AWC.

Adding to the spectacular string of victories, USC's very own Marionette set the dance floor on fire. With their breathtaking and synchronized routine, they emerged victorious and rightfully earned the title of Champions for the Dance Palabas Competition.

Congratulations to all our winners for bringing pride and glory to the House of Thoth.
