𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐊𝐀𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐍, 𝐆𝐀𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐎 𝐇. 𝐃𝐄𝐋 𝐏𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐑!

Si G*t Marcelo H. Del Pilar ay isang bayani na gumamit ng panulat bilang sandata laban sa pang-aabuso at kawalang-katarungan. Sa halip na espada, tinta at papel ang ginamit niyang armas upang ipaglaban ang kalayaan at mga karapatan ng mga Pilipino.

Bilang patnugot ng La Solidaridad, at may mga akdang tulad ng Dasalan at Tocsohan, binigyang-diin niya na ang mga ideya at prinsipyo ay may mas malakas na lakas kaysa anumang pisikal na sandata.

Ang kanyang buhay at mga isinagawang sakripisyo ay patuloy na nagsisilbing gabay sa atin. Huwag nating kalimutan ang kanyang panawagan mula sa kanyang sulat kay Pedro Icasiano noong 1889:

“𝐓𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐰, 𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚, 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐤𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐲𝐚 𝐚𝐭 𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐲 𝐧𝐚𝐬𝐚 𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐠𝐚 𝐤𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐲.”

"Lapu-Lapu City College has thousands of students, yet I am blessed to be one of your scholars pursuing my dreams up until now,” Mr. Arong added.

Similarly, Ms. Daño shared how the scholarship made a difference in her studies.

“My scholarship allowed me to buy a laptop, which greatly helped me focus on my studies without worrying about finances,” she shared.

“Thank you, AFTA, for inspiring me to aim higher and for changing many lives through your support,” she stressed.

The formal signing of the MOU followed, with Dr. Borbajo and Ms. Rena Tarcila O. Pedaria, President of AFTA, affixing their signatures.

𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐬, 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐨!

Bakit marami ang sa atin hindi alam at kayang unawain,
Ang wikang kinagisnan dapat tangkilin,
Ang wika ay bihagin at linangin,
Kahit man lang sa pagkatuto ng wika dapat ay ugalin!

Ito ang ating tungkulin ang mahalin ang sariling atin,
'Wag hayaang sariling wika ay laitin,
Pahalagahan at bigyang-diin,
Ito'y ay may magandang mithiin,

Wikang katutubo ang siyang naging pundasyon,
Ito ang dahilan ng pagkakaisa at naging rason,
Kung bakit mayroon kasaysayan at nagbigay impormasyon,
Kaya dapat bigyang-tuon at aksyon!

Pag-aralan ang wikang Filipino at wikang katutubo,
'Yan ang dapat unahin kaysa kung ano-ano,
Sayang naman ang pagka-Pilipino,
Kung ibaling sa ibang wika ang talino!

Ang wika ay ang ugat ng ating kahapon,
Ito'y nagsilbing daan sa ating pagtitipon,
Kaya bangon, linangin ang wikang katutubo,
Baka maglaon Ito'y magsisilibing alaala na lang ng ating kahapon!

𝐆𝐮𝐲𝐬… 𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀!!!
Imagine mo na lang: habang stressed ka sa notes at reviewers mo, biglang nag-pop up yung notif—“Good luck sa exam mo, kaya na kaya nimo. Fighting!” … tapos galing kay crush.

Kung ganun lang lagi, baka hindi na tayo magkape kasi sapat na kilig na. Pero ayun nga, midterms week na naman, mga LLCCians! Andito na ang bags na puno ng reviewers, utak na overloaded, at energy na parang laging low-batt. Pero isipin niyo: kung kaya kang i-cheer ni crush kahit sa imahinasyon mo lang, mas kaya mo talagang i-cheer ang sarili mo in real life.

“𝑲𝒂𝒚𝒂 𝒌𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒂𝒈-𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒏 𝒍𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒕, 𝒌𝒂𝒚𝒂 𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏 ’𝒕𝒐… 𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒊𝒅𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒔 𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒚𝒐𝒏!”

So good luck sa lahat ng LLCCians! Ace those exams, think smart, and wag kalimutan magpahinga. Who knows, baka sa susunod hindi lang sa isip mo manggaling ang good luck message—baka kay crush na talaga.

𝗠𝗴𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗮𝗻, 𝗚𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗮 𝗞𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗸𝘂𝘆𝗮𝗻

Ayon sa ating pambansang bayani na si Dr. Jose Rizal: “Ang hindi marunong lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makararating sa paroroonan.” Mga linyang kanyang binitawan noon, at magpasa-hanggang ngayon, bakas pa rin nito ang diwa nating mga Pilipino. Hindi ito isang babala; bagkus, ito ay paalala na gumigising sa ating munting pag-iisip—na ang ating kasaysayan, ang mga anino ng nakaraan, ay hindi maaaring mabura sa ating alaala. Sila ang nagsisilbing ilaw na gumagabay upang makalaya tayo sa madilim na landas. Sa bawat hakbang ng kasalukuyan, dala natin ang aral, sakripisyo, at tapang ng ating mga bayani.

Ngunit, ang tanong ng karamihan: 𝗮𝗻𝗼 𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗯𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆, 𝗼 𝗔𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗶?Bakit hanggang ngayon ay ipinagdiriwang pa rin ito? Isa ba itong pagkilala na ang bawat ambag sa sariling bayan, maliit man o malaki, ay anyo ng kabayanihan? Mga katanungang patuloy na naghahanap ng kasagutan.

Bukod dito, ang paggunita sa mga bayani ay hindi natatapos, sapagkat ang 𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗮. Ito’y patuloy na isinusulat araw-araw—𝘀𝗮 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗼 𝗻𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝗴𝘁𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗼 𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘁, 𝘀𝗮 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗮𝗴𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗸𝗮𝗽 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆𝗮, 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗻.

Makikita sa ating kasaysayan na ang kabayanihan ay hindi nasusukat sa laki ng ambag. Hindi ito paligsahan ng tagumpay, kung hindi handog na sakripisyo para sa kapakanan ng nakararami. Ang mga bayani tulad nina Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, Melchora Aquino, at marami pang iba ay hindi lamang mga pangalan sa kasaysayan. Sila ay mga simbolo ng paglaban, pagkakaisa, at pagmamalasakit sa kapwa.

Kaya’t mahalagang tandaan na sa ating paggunita, kailangan nating tanungin ang ating sarili: paano natin maipagpapatuloy ang kanilang nasimulan? Saan natin mahahanap ang lakas ng loob upang harapin ang mga hamon ng ating panahon?

𝗔𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗮𝘀𝗮 𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗼, 𝘀𝗮 𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗮, 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮 𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘀. 𝗦𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗮𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗮𝗻, 𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗮 𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗴𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗻.

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 | LLCC, DA collaborate for "Tanom Para sa Kinaiyahan ug Kinabuhi" seminar

Student leaders, faculty, and staff of Lapu-Lapu City College (LLCC) participated in the seminar “Tanom Para sa Kinaiyahan ug Kinabuhi,” a school-based planting and sustainability project in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture (DA), held on August 22, 2025, at the Multi-Purpose Building.

The seminar was spearheaded by Mrs. Ma. Kristel O. Amoro, Community Extension Services and Linkages (CESL) Coordinator.

"This activity is more than just an assessment or a tree-planting event—it is a commitment to nurture our environment and contribute to building a sustainable future," Mrs. Amoro stated during her welcome remarks.

"Through learning about vegetable production and tree-planting practices, we are reminded that every small effort can grow into something bigger for our community and for the next generation," she stressed.

Mr. Hubert B. Dimabuyu, Farm Superintendent II from the Cebu Experiment Station, delivered a presentation. He discussed the principles and practices of proper vegetable production, providing knowledge on sustainable agriculture.

To reinforce learning, the session included a hands-on demonstration of planting techniques, allowing students to gain practical skills in vegetable cultivation.

The program concluded with closing remarks and key announcements from Mr. Earl Micah Geejay M. Bacus, Supreme Student Council (SSC) President.

"This morning, we learned new insights that we will apply in our monthly gathering as we continue with our activities under ‘Tanom Para sa Kinaiyahan ug Kinabuhi,’" Mr. Bacus shared.

"This activity is not just a single event we attended, but also a reflection of our values and qualities as leaders," he added.

The seminar showed LLCC’s commitment to environmental care by training student leaders in sustainable practices for use inside and outside the school.

The tree planting will start on August 29, 2025, and continue until March 2026, with monthly progress reviews to ensure proper implementation.
