Nowadays, unconditional love is often doubted—many question its existence.

Love isn't always said in words or felt in a warm embrace. Sometimes, it takes the form of rising before the sun does to break a back, or perhaps in between the ridges and furrows of rugged hands—a testament to effort and hard work on building a future not just his own. Oftentimes, it takes the form of a man who stands behind me at a distance and quietly carries half of the burden of the world for me to live in comfort and peace.

A man with rough, calloused hands yet has the softest touch that irons not only my crinkled clothes but somehow smoothens my life.

A man with a stern voice that brings shivers down my spine, yet calls my name gently whenever I stray.

A man who would lend me more than he could give to make me whole, even if it cost a piece of him.

A man who's in gaiety when his irises catch me being happy.

His "I love you" may be drowned in silence, yet it is loud in every solved math equation that made me burst into tears, ride to school, nods of approval, a roof over my head, a bed that catches my tired body, and food that assuages not only hunger but also my cravings.

In some aspects, the world is terrifying to live in, but knowing that you are there—a man who I can run to when the world is being mean—brings forth solace in my being. The world is better because you are in it.

In this heart of mine, of which you have taught selflessness and empathy, gratefulness is engraved for all the waves of laughter, small and big sacrifices, and guidance. But most especially, for lending me strength to move forward when I had none of my own; for carrying me on your back when I could not stand on my own two feet; and for giving me wings to soar high and achieve my dreams.

I know unconditional love exists because 𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓.
I know unconditional love exists because 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓.

𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐘𝐎 𝐃𝐎𝐒𝐄 || 𝗞𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗔𝗔𝗡, 𝟭𝟮𝟳

Hindi basta dumating ang kalayaan.
Hindi siya regalo.
Dumating siya sa anyo ng bangkay,
ng dugo sa lupa,
ng mga inang hindi na nasilayan ang kanilang anak
na lumaban para sa bayang hindi pa buo.

Isang salitang kaydaling sambitin ngayon—
kalayaan.
Pero noong araw,
ibig nitong sabihin ay pagkakahiwalay sa pamilya,
pagkatok ng sundalo sa hatinggabi,
at pagyakap sa tiyak na kamatayan.

Salamat.
Sa bawat martir na nanahimik habang nilalapastangan,
sa bawat kabataang humawak ng armas,
hindi para pumatay,
kundi para hindi na muling alipinin.

Ngunit habang ginugunita natin ito—
bawat Hunyo dose,
bawat bandila sa poste,
bawat awit sa seremonyang marahan—
nais naming itanong:

Kalayaan pa ba ito,
kung may takot pa ring magsalita?
Kung ang katarungan ay naaantala,
at ang dangal ay minamaliit?
Kung may mga tanikala pa rin,
kahit wala nang dayuhang mananakop?

Hindi kami lumimot.
Hindi kami nagbubunyi sa kasarinlan nang paimbabaw.
Naririto kami,
dahil ang bawat hininga naming malaya
ay utang sa inyo.

Kaya’t ngayong araw,
hindi lang kami nagpapasalamat.
Nangako rin kami—
na hindi kami papayag
na ang kalayaang ipinaglaban ninyo
ay maging alaala lang ng nakaraan.

Buhay ang kalayaan
hangga’t may pusong handang manindigan.

Davao City — A magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck near Santo Tomas, Davao del Norte, at 11:41 a.m. on May 19, 2025, and was felt at the Lyceum of the Philippines Davao during ongoing examinations.

According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), Davao del Sur experienced Intensity II from the earthquake.

May your calculator turn on without reluctance and your pen runs smoothly without ever drying out.

May your memory surpass even your teacher's most severe red markings.

When in doubt, may the letter C in the multiple choice illuminate the path and may your predictions prove to be divinely correct.

I hope your internet remains faithful, your caffeine hits the spot, and your silent screams throughout tests go unheard.

And may your professor have a golden heart in the event that all falls apart.

Truth and fortitude—always. But in their absence, snacks and sheer academic survival instincts shall suffice.

The second day of the Lycean Career Fest provided students with another round of meaningful interaction centered on career development and personal improvement. Although the morning gathering was modest, those who came were treated to intelligent conversations on crucial themes such as personal branding, ethical behaviors in the professional sphere, and the changing importance of social media—particularly LinkedIn—in job seeking.

Speakers underlined the need of establishing a professional identity early in today's competitive market. Students were advised to plan ahead of time, improve their internet presence, and keep integrity and ethics in mind as they pursue their jobs.

In the afternoon, the momentum switched, and the college booths became a swarm of activity once more. Students from all year levels continued to explore numerous departments, groups, and career choices, demonstrating that even on Day 2, the excitement had not worn off.

To wrap out the day, Lyceans gathered for the much-anticipated Acoustic Friday event. The campus came alive with music and shared laughter as students jammed together, reviving the friendly environment that many had missed. It was an appropriate end to the day's festivities, reminding everyone of the joy of joining together as a community.

Day 2 of the Lycean Career Fest was filled with inspiration from the presentations, enthusiasm from the exhibitors, and music to cap off the day.

The Career Fest held on May 8, 2025 at Freedom Hall, Lyceum of the Philippines - Davao unfolded as a vibrant celebration of ambition, identity, and future aspirations. The event served as a powerful reminder to students that choosing a college program should reflect both who they are and who they hope to become.

Representatives from various colleges including the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Accountancy and Business, and the College of Health Sciences took the stage to share insights, correct common misconceptions, and offer guidance to aspiring professionals.

More than just an informative event, the Career Fest inspired students to align their academic paths with their passions and abilities. It encouraged them to set goals that are not only realistic but also meaningful.

One memorable moment came when a student boldly declared, “I want to be the first Filipino to land on the moon,” while dressed as an astronaut. This statement captured the energy and optimism that filled the room.

Other students confidently walked the stage as triathletes, aerospace engineers, soldiers, and even as the First Lady of the Philippines. Each costume reflected a personal dream and a deeper story behind the chosen role. Despite the differences in attire and aspirations, all shared a common thread — the desire to serve Filipino society and make a lasting contribution to the world.
