During the opening of the SCALE (Service, Creativity, Action, and Leadership Enhancement) Fair at the Philippine Science High School - Southern Mindanao Campus on September 5, 2025, the Senior Vice President stressed the importance of exposure of different SCALEs to younger batches to further cultivate their values as a Pisay student.

According to Mariel P. Tagimacruz, learners can improve their holistic development better—growth in character and service—whilst also juggling academics through SCALE Programs.

“SCALE encourages scholars to not only grow in academics but also in character and service to others,” Tagimacruz noted.

Moreover, students from Grade 9-12 were all mandated to join at least one SCALE to spark their commitment in community service and to prepare them for their own duties as scholars of the nation.

“Today’s fair is not only a celebration of these values but also an opportunity to ignite its incarnation among the younger batches to prepare them for their own journey,” the senior vice president added.

Furthermore, there were more than 17 different SCALEs to choose from, catering students’ diverse interests, passion, and talents, whilst simultaneously incorporating these variables into their personal growth and social development as scholars.

Behind truths shed light upon are journalists who risk telling it. These stories often come at a price, especially when press freedom is left unguarded. On this National Press Freedom Day, we call for the continued protection of Filipino journalists who dare to dig deeper and speak louder even in the face of adversity.

This day should not only be a celebration; it is a plea to all of us to demand accountability, not just from those in power but also from ourselves. Let us be reminded that freedom is never passive but is something we must actively and responsibly defend.

The editorial staff of Sci-Wings stands hand in hand with journalism rooted in integrity. Guided by the Campus Journalism Act of 1991, we remain mindful of the duty that freedom comes with. May we take on this day as a lasting spark in our shared pursuit of the untarnished truth.

Amid the wrapping up of the Buwan ng Wika Culmination 2025, the Head of the Filipino Unit advised scholars to continuously honor the Filipino language and native dialects by using it when conversing despite the conclusion of the celebration of the Filipino language on August 29.

Aubry Galan cited that this is a way to strengthen our connection with our roots, as well as our mother tongues.

“Ang Buwan ng Wika ay hindi lang sa buwan ng Agosto, o ang pag gamit natin ng wikang Filipino at ang ating mga katutubong wika, ay kailangan nating linangin sa araw-araw nating pamumuhay,” she said.

Moreover, Galan also stated learning about our country’s different languages and using it in our everyday lives would lead to unity despite the language barrier.

“Ang palagiang paggamit ng Filipino sa araw-araw ay nagpapatibay ng ating pagkakakilanlan at pagkakaisa bilang mga Pilipino,” she emphasized.

She added that using Filipino in everyday life helps strengthen identity and solidarity among Filipinos.

The theme of Buwan ng Wika 2025 is “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa."

As the Philippine Science High School - Southern Mindanao Campus (PSHS-SMC) commenced this year’s Buwan ng Wika Culmination, Campus Director Dr. Jonald P. Fenecios urged scholars to practice and nurture the Filipino language on August 29.

The director stressed the need of youth to learn about their own history and how the Filipino language came to be due to the surging issues on losing our own identity, especially among the young.

"Ang wika ay ating pagkakakilanlan, ating kultura, at ating hinangad bilang sambayanang Pilipino," Fenecios said.

Signifying the importance of Filipino culture and literature, scholars lit the stage showcasing exhibits denoting our country's history throughout the years.

This event serves, not only as a day for classic games and performances, but also as a reminder to us Filipinos to value our country's sacrifices, honoring those who came before us.
