Blue era? Archived.
Green is the New Ink.

We’ve turned the page and surprise, it’s green! From bold blues to fierce greens, The Working Hand enters a new era where rebranding doesn’t mean rewriting the mission.

HAPPY CHARTER DAY, SUGBOANONS!

Today, August 6, 2025, we celebrate Cebu Provincial Charter Day, a special local holiday that commemorates the founding anniversary of our beloved province, deeply rooted in rich history and a legacy that continues to shape us as Cebuanos.

Under Republic Act No. 8952 (amending R.A. 7698), August 6 was declared a special non-working holiday across Cebu Island. Even before its enactment, Cebu had acknowledged this date since 1993, when the provincial council recognized King Philip II’s appointment of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi as governor on August 6, 1569 as the symbolic founding of the province---a historic milestone that strengthens our unity and shared identity.

As we mark this important day, let's take this opportunity not only to look back on our history, but also to honor our heritage, embrace our vibrant culture, and move together toward progress and a prosperous future.

Isang linggong pag-ibig o isang linggong pahinga nalang?

Nawa'y handa na kayong lahat sa nalalapit na pasukan na tila ba'y parang isang tulog lang ang nakaraang dalawang buwan. Isang linggong pahinga o isang linggong pagdadasal na sana ay pwede pa nating ibalik ang umpisa ng Hunyo?

Sama-sama nating isipin lahat ng mga gawain at tensyon na paparating. Ngunit sa kabila ng ating pagkabalisa, alalahanin natin ang kinabukasan na nakalaan sa atin. Kaya't ihanda ang inyong mga sarili para sa isa na namang "Kaundangon nako!". Laban, Technologists!

On this day, August 1, we remember the passing of Manuel L. Quezon and Corazon Aquino—two major and remarkable presidents in Philippine history who became symbols of resilience and hope among the Filipino people. Let's take a trip down memory lane and honor them.

Manuel Luis Quezon y Molina was born in Baler, Tayabas (Now Quezon) on August 19, 1878. A bright student, Quezon pursued law school at University of Santo Tomas and passed the bar in 1903. In 1909, he served as Resident Commissioner to Washington, D.C. until the year 1916. That same year, he was elected Senator and later became Senate President. He brought home the Tydings-McDuffie Independence Law in 1934 which secured independence for the Philippines from the United States. In 1935, Quezon was elected as the first President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines. He was a strong-willed and highly influential leader who relentlessly pursued independence from the U.S., championed social justice, established a national language—the Filipino—which led him to become the "Father of the Philippine National Language" or "Ama ng Wikang Pambansa". Though forced into exile during World War II, he continued to lead the government-in-exile until his death in the United States on August 1, 1944.

Maria Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco Aquino was born on January 25, 1933, in Paniqui, Tarlac. Aquino attended College of Mount Saint Vincent, New York and later returned to the Philippines to study law at Far Eastern University. In 1954, she married Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, a frontrunner for the 1973 presidential elections. Aquino became a beacon of hope and democracy in one of the darkest periods of Philippine history. Originally a housewife with no political ambitions, she emerged into the world if politics after the assassination of her husband, Senator Ninoy Aquino, in 1983. Her quiet strength and integrity rallied millions during the 1986 People Power Revolution, leading to the peaceful ouster of Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and her becoming as the first female president of the Philippines—and in Asia. Her presidency empowered democratic institutions and symbolized hope and freedom for Filipinos. Aquino passed away on August 1, 2009, exactly 65 years after Manuel Quezon, leaving behind a legacy of resistance without violence.

Their coinciding deaths on this day remind us that remarkable leadership grounded in sacrifice, pure service, and hope never really dies—it remains in the hearts of the Filipino people until the end of time.

"𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝘁"

He works without harnesses, wiring a government building racing toward deadline. It’s another long day, one of many. No one watches, but he keeps going. He won’t be named in the project report, but the power that flows through these walls will be his silent legacy built by calloused hands and quiet resolve. Each wire he secures is a step closer to feeding futures he’ll never meet.

PHIVOLCS issues tsunami warning for Eastern Philippine coasts after massive Russia quake

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) has issued a tsunami warning for coastal communities facing the Pacific Ocean following a magnitude of 8.7 earthquake off the eastern coast of Kamchatka, Russia today, July 30, 2025.

At 7:25 a.m. (Pacific Standard Time), the earthquake struck off the eastern coast of Kamchatka, Russia, with a depth of approximately 20km, making it one of the strongest quakes on record since 2011. The seismic event swiftly triggered tsunami alerts across the Pacific Rim, including Japan, the Philippines, and Hawaii.

In an advisory released today, PHIVOLCS cautioned that tsunami waves less than one meter high may reach the eastern seaboard of the Philippines between 1:20 PM and 2:40 PM today. The agency emphasized that the first wave may not be the largest and that wave activity could persist for several hours.

“People whose houses are located very near the shoreline of these provinces are advised to move farther inland,” PHIVOLCS stated. The agency also warned the public to stay away from beaches and avoid going to coastal areas during the expected wave arrival time.

The advisory applies to residents in the following provinces: Batanes Group of Islands, Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon, Catanduanes, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, Davao del Norte, Davao Oriental, Davao Occidental, Davao del Sur,and Davao de Oro

The tsunami alert was triggered after seismic waves from the massive undersea quake reached the Kuril Islands of Russia and Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, where the Japan Meteorological Agency recorded a 30-centimeter wave in the coastal city of Nemuro.

As of 2:00 p.m., there have been no immediate reports of destructive waves or casualties in the Philippines. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have called on the public to heed official advisories and remain away from beaches and low-lying coastal areas.
