If you think you’re a people pleaser, do not proceed to read this. Or maybe do. That’s your call. I’m not here to tell you what to do… unless you asked me to, in which case… that’s kind of the point. And if you happen to be someone who likes spreading yourself thin in exchange for a few nods, then maybe I’ll be here, too, raising my hands high with you.

ICYMI: The La Salle Filipiniana Dance Company (LSFDC) won 2nd place at the 28th International Folk Dance Festival “Folk Harbor,” held in Poland on July 4.

Marking LSFDC’s first European competition, they showcased Filipino culture through traditional rural dances such as Maglalatik, Binasuan, and Tinikling.

“The audience may not have known the backstory, but through our performance… we poured our passion into every movement, letting the audience feel our culture beyond words,” LSFDC member Ma. Grazeanna Denzon stated in an interview.

She also furthered that the experience made her realize the unifying power of dance, allowing strangers to connect and break barriers.

Cultural Arts Office (CAO) Coordinator Joel Refuerzo hailed the win as a milestone, reaffirming LSFDC’s commitment to promoting Filipino heritage on the global stage.

Notably, the Philippines is the only Southeast Asian country to participate in this year’s festival.

Elementarya pa lang ay itinuturo na sa bawat Pilipinong mag-aaral ang mga kulay ng watawat: asul, p**a, dilaw, at puti. Bawat bahid, bawat hugis, ay may kani-kaniyang sinasagisag. Ngunit habang lumilipas ang panahon, unti-unti ring mapagtatanto na ang mga kulay na ito, sa halip na magbuklod, ay mas malaking hati pala ang dulot, kahit hindi naman dapat.

I’m scared of what comes after graduating. I have no plans, nor the courage, to take on the next voyage. Am I going to be stuck working an 8-to-5? Will I be pressured to work abroad? Will I be successful in the future?

I feel so lost and confused—something I never thought I’d feel when I’ve always dreamt of excellence and success as a kid.
Now, I don’t know what to do next.

Nakapagpiyansa na ang limang manggagawang kultural mula Cavite Cultural Alliance for Social Change (CCLASIC) na mas kilala bilang , matapos silang ilegal na arestuhin nitong Hunyo 27, sa lungsod ng Imus, Cavite, ayon sa Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) - Cavite.

Sinampahan ng kasong malicious mischief at vandalism sina Ronald “Onad” Valderama at Shinice Wacan, kasama ang tatlo pang indibidwal, dahil umano sa spray painting sa mga pampublikong lugar sa Pasong Buaya 2, Imus, Cavite.

Ikinulong nang tatlong araw ang limang manggagawa sa kabila ng kawalan ng sapat na ebidensya laban sa kanila, at nakalaya lamang sa ikaapat na araw ng ilegal na detensyon matapos makapagpiyansa.

Ayon sa kanilang ulat, sumailalim sila sa matinding interogasyon ng mga intelligence officer ng PNP Malagasang 1-G, kung saan sinubukan din umano silang iugnay sa rebolusyonaryong grupong CCP-NPA-NDFP at sa iba pang protest art activities na walang kinalaman sa kanila.

Matatandaang sa araw ng kanilang pag-aresto ay pinigilan, tinakot, at sapilitang dinampot ang Imus 5 habang naghahanda para sa isang protest art demonstration na kumukundena sa demolisyon at komersyalisasyon na laganap sa lalawigan.

Ayon sa kanila, bago pa man ang insidente ay sinusundan na sila ng civil security ng lokal na pamahalaan, pinagbantaan gamit ang baril, at pinalibutan ng halos walong indibidwal bago sila sapilitang dinala sa barangay hall at kalaunan ay sa presinto ng PNP Malagasang.

Sa kabila ng paglaya mula sa detensyon, patuloy ang panawagan ng iba’t ibang organisasyon na hindi krimen ang protest art, at ang panunupil sa Imus 5 ay bahagi ng mas malawak na crackdown laban sa mga progresibong indibidwal.
