Every 3rd of May, we observe 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗮𝘆, standing in recognition of the fundamental role a free press plays in safeguarding truth and accountability. It is a reminder that truth cannot thrive where voices are restrained and information is controlled.

As we honor journalists who continue to stand for truth despite pressure, threats, and attempts to silence them, we are reminded that journalism is not merely a profession—it is a public trust. A free press ensures that power is questioned, facts are uncovered, and society remains informed beyond influence and fear. Without it, silence takes hold, control deepens, and truth becomes negotiable.

𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗬𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘 | CLASS OF 2026

Behind every story told and every truth defended is a team that refused to stay silent. Today, we honor the graduating seniors of 𝑨𝒏𝒈 𝑩𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒌 and 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒎 under 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒃𝒆𝒔 𝑺𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒚, the student-journalists who served as the heartbeat of our campus.

From the leadership that guided the vision to the writers who captured the truth, these are the seniors who kept the presses running and our integrity unshakeable.

Here is a special message from our President as he signs off for the last time:

"𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗲."

We started this journey with blank pages and a lot of questions. Now, as we prepare to walk across that stage, we leave behind more than just articles, we leave a legacy of truth.

To every senior
graduating with me, our diplomas are proof of our hard work, but our integrity is what will actually define our future. In a world where stories can be twisted and voices can be bought, I hope you choose to stay unshakeable. Never let a price tag be placed on your silence or your words. Remember, a pen that can be bought isn't worth a single drop of ink.

To the rest of the organization, the newsroom is now yours. You are the heartbeat of this school’s story, and that is a heavy responsibility to carry. People will try to sway you, and there will be moments when the truth feels inconvenient. It’s easy to write what people want to hear, but it takes real courage to write what they need to know. Stand your ground anyway. Being your President has shown me that our strength isn't just in how well we write, but in how much we care about what is right.

Keep the presses running, keep your eyes open, and never let anyone else hold the ink to your story.

𝗥𝗘𝗕𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗧

Yesterday, on March 26, 2026, the School Parent-Teacher Association (SPTA) met in the Compostela National High School Mini Gymnasium for the General Assembly, successfully reaching a quorum of parents and teachers to convene for the end of the school year.

Under the leadership of neophyte President Crisanto Rey D. Mamon, the SPTA sought to bridge the trust once more between parents, teachers, the school, and the organization. The keyword of the day was "transparency," emphasizing the protection of parent donations and establishing an SPTA that is more open to their financial decisions and supportive towards school and extracurricular activities.

In the recent General Assembly, the SPTA even made donations of 12 50-inch Google TVs, which were formally turned over to Sir Sandy G. Yee, School Principal IV, to be given to 12 select classrooms that were in desperate need; these alone can support the learning of over 700 students.

Despite recent elections three months prior and the oath-taking ceremony on December 11, the relatively new SPTA Board of Directors, led by President Crisanto Rey D. Mamon, has nonetheless made considerable contributions towards the continued development of Compostela National High School and supporting student-centered competitions in mathematics and science, sports, and journalism.
