Sa pagharap natin sa huling pagsusulit ng akademikong taon, kahandaan at matinding pokus ang hinihingi sa mga huling sandali bago ang maikling bakasyon.

Dagdagan ng higit na determinasyon ang bawat tasa ng kapeng titimplahin sa umaga, siguraduhing may tinta pa ang mga pluma, at may sapat na bilang ng papel si seatmate. Mahaba pa ang linggo, at kung anong inihaba pa nito, ay siya ring inilayo na ng naabot natin mula sa pursigidong pagbangon sa araw-araw. Gaano man katarik ang bawat ahon, huwag iiwanan sa gilid ang tiwala sa sarili.

Padayon, CSSPNians!! Malapit na ang uwian ng mga artista.

“Eme!”

“Mema!”

Iyan ang madalas tugon ng mga kabataan sa mga memes na tila ba walang saysay o walang katumbas na reaksyon. Iyan ngayon ang turing ng pamahalaan sa General Education; walang puwang na ituro sa mga walang muwang. Bakas ang kibit-balikat nilang paninindigan sa pagitan ng kahalagan ng edukasyong hinuhubog ang pag-unawa ng karamihan.

Sa panahong nagkukumahog ang lahat sa pagitan ng dilemang praktikalidad o pangarap, unti-unti ring nawawalan ng pagiging makatao ang institusyong inaasahang magtataguyod ng mga disiplinang minsan nang nagsilbing haligi ng ating pagkatao.

Plato. Da Vinci. Shakespeare. Mga pangalang pamilyar, hindi ba?

Ngunit sa pagdaan ng panahon, tila unti-unti na lamang silang magiging nakatiklop na pahina—inaanay at nakahanay sa estante ng mga silid-aklatang hindi na binibisita. Kasabay ng unti-unting pagbalewala sa pilosopiya, sining, panitikan, at iba pang larangang hindi kayang tumbasan ng agarang sahod ngunit matagal nang humuhubog sa pag-iisip ng sangkatauhan.

Sa pananaw ng ilan, praktikal ang pagbabawas ng General Education subjects. Mas kaunting units, mas maagang makapagtatrabaho ang estudyante. Ngunit nakapagtataka kung bakit sa tuwing pinag-uusapan ang “pagpapagaan” ng edukasyon, humanities ang unang minamata at tinatangkang tapyasin ang pagkakakilanlan.

Tila ba kailangang paulit-ulit patunayan ng sining, panitikan, at pilosopiya ang kanilang halaga sa isang lipunang mas kinikindatan ang kursong may direktang sahod kaysa kursong may direktang saysay.

Ngunit hindi ba’t sa humanities nagsimula ang lahat? Sa kasaysayan tayo natututong maningil. Sa panitikan tayo natututong makiramdam. Sa pilosopiya tayo natututong magsuri. At sa sining tayo natututong magpahayag ng hindi kayang sambitin ng bibig.

Kapag binawasan natin ang espasyo para sa mga asignaturang ito, hindi lamang units ang nawawala—unti-unti ring iniluluwa ang kaluluwa ng mag-aaral.

Dahil ang pagwari, ang pagbibigay-kahulugan, at ang kumpas ng mga daliring lumilikha ng obrang yari sa laman at karanasan ay hindi kailanman dapat pagkaitan ng karapatang suriin, paglaanan ng oras, at aralin ng bayang minsang pinagsilbihan ng mga ito.

Ang kolehiyo ay hindi lamang dapat humuhubog ng mga manggagawang lunod sa propesyonalismo at nakatuon sa agarang pangangailangan na bilang at kalkulado. Hindi sapat na mahusay lamang tayong sumunod, magpasa ng requirements, at maging produktibo. Sapagkat ang edukasyon ay hindi dapat nakasentro lamang sa paggawa ng empleyado. Dapat itong humuhubog ng tao—na may damdamin, may asal, at may paninidigan.

At hindi ito laban sa pagitan ng Sining at Pilosopiya kontra Agham at Sipnayan. Hindi ito tunggalian ng emosyon at lohika. Ang tunay na usapin ay kung paano sila dapat magtagpo bilang parehong pangangailangan ng sangkatauhan. Hindi dapat naglalamangan ang mga disiplinang ito, kung hindi balanseng tinuturing bilang parehong may ambag sa kasalukuyang pagsulong ng lipunan.

Nakapanlulumong isipin na unti-unti nang mas pinahahalagahan ng mga paaralan ang curriculum vitae kaysa pagkatao. Na tila ang sukatan ng matagumpay na edukasyon ay kung gaano kabilis maipasok ang estudyante sa industriya, at hindi kung gaano siya kahusay mag-isip, makiramdam, at maging makatao.

Ang pagkakanulo sa Humanities ay maaaring hindi agad maningil ngayon, ngunit darating ang panahong sisingilin tayo nito—sa mundong puno ng mga taong plantsado ang uniporme ngunit hungkag ang pagkakakilanlan; mahusay magtrabaho ngunit hirap makiramdam; marunong sumunod ngunit hindi marunong magtanong.

Gaya ng palay sa bukirin, mas lalo itong yumuyuko habang mas marami itong laman. Ang mga uhay na hitik sa butil ay hindi nagmamadaling tumindig nang mataas; sa halip, marahan silang nakayuko, tila ba ang mga baong kaalaman na hindi maingay ngunit ramdam ang bigat. Samantalang ang mga payak o hungkag ay madalas nakatayo nang matuwid, tila walang dinadalang bigat na dapat magpababa sa kanila.

Ang edukasyon ay dapat tulad ng palay na hitik—marunong yumuko hindi dahil nahihiya o mahina, kundi dahil puno. Ngunit sa kasalukuyan, tila mas pinapaboran ang pagtindig nang tuwid: tuwid sa propesyon, tuwid sa kita, tuwid sa praktikalidad—kahit pa ito’y nangangahulugang unti-unting pagnipis ng laman ng pag-iisip at pagkalimot sa lalim ng pag-unawa.

Sa huli, ang tunay na “mema” ay hindi ang Humanities.

Kundi ang sistemang naniniwalang walang halaga ang pag-iisip hangga’t hindi ito kumikita.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday, May 11, confirmed the arrest warrant against Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa in connection with the former president Rodrigo Duterte’s case against humanity.

“The International Criminal Court confirms that the document published by national authorities of the Republic of the Philippines and circulated in [the] media is indeed a formal ICC document.” Said ICC.

The warrant was confidentially issued last November 5, 2025, under the seal of Pre-Trial Chamber I.

In the Senate today, however, Dela Rosa was chased down by the National Bureau of Investigation in line with the warrant as he appeared after six months of absence.

In response, the Senate remained on guard under parliamentary protection.

𝙏𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙛𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨…

From the moment a woman decided to bring about a life in this world, is the time she let go of her dreams and faced the life different from she once dreamt of. The nine months of caring for an unborn child is full of sacrifices deemed as worthy and the happiness that colored the growing family as the baby finally kicks in.

The screams of labor that filled the halls of the hospital are clearly heard— feared as it carries the pain yet overflows with the will to deliver a life in this world. No one could’ve felt the pain more than the mothers who are at the moment, surrounding the room, praying for a successful delivery. The others wished for a healthy baby; only the mothers as well thought of the mother who was exhausted, clearly in pain, but pushed herself to safely bring her child to the world.

The story doesn’t end in a narrative where a woman is only seen as valuable in her ability to carry a child in her womb and raise it herself. Even in a society where their body is a subject for control of a man, they stood their ground to make decisions for themselves. It is a years-long fight alongside each other, facing the judgment and only moving forward to achieve freedom.

Even after decades of fighting for their rights, patriarchy still stood tall as the pillar of society. Yet, persistence is a strength that is rooted from their near-death-type-of-pain-experience in delivering a baby. When they are not granted a full-breather and they could only push through— as even a short rest is life-threatening to a baby. An event where people rejoice for a life that is yet to come, but never a time to care for a mother whose one foot is in the grave.

𝙏𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙪𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙝…

When a mother encounters coercion inside their own home— their first instinct is to shield their children. In the face of abuse and oppression, their frail body received the insults and punches. Despite the darkness that clouds the house, the love they have for their child ignites and lights the path to a future they are to write.

Moving forward is never easy, especially when feet are still tied to the past. But now with their own blood clinging onto their hand, never actually aware of what is to happen, yet so trustful— even in their most vulnerable moment, they carry on their journey away from the pain and sufferings in the place they once called home.

In the face of relentless judgment from other people, a mother kept it together. Even in the times when they are deemed as the weakest, and the most vulnerable in temptation— they prove it otherwise.

𝙏𝙤 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙪𝙨 𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙨…

Even if the world feels uncertain and even leads to rejection, a mother fully welcomes her child to take refuge in her embrace. Afterall, it is her who gazed down at us lovingly and contentedly.

The unstable steps that our mothers watch— letting the child walk on their own but is always ready to catch the child in case they fall.

Mothers are the first person to accept and love us for what we truly are. The one whose name most of us firstly called off.

Being a mother isn’t just giving birth to their own child. A mother figure to a child, regardless of the situation— is still a mother by heart. Ultimately, love is not measured by blood, but rather by bond.

In a world where not everyone is not enjoying the luxury of a system called family, found family is the greatest genre to ever exist. It is only acceptance and respect that brings about a warm, cozy environment in a home that was once called ‘nothing but a house.’
