With insight far beyond their years, first-year BSEd English students from EL1 – Introduction to Linguistics (Sections 2453A & 2453B) took center stage at PANGINBULAHAN: A Linguistic Research Forum on May 16, 2025, at the SJPIICD-AVR. With the theme "Exploring the Role of Language in Shaping the Media and Political Discourse in the Philippines," the event featured eight powerful research presentations delving into language’s impact on memes, dating shows, digital platforms, and political narratives.

Despite being in the early stages of their college journey, these future educators and language analysts stood tall—embodying the heart and soul of researchers: curious, courageous, and committed. Their work sparked dialogue, reflection, and pride in how language mirrors and reshapes our society.

Organized under the guidance of Mr. Darryl Imperial and in collaboration with the English Majors' Organization (EMO), the event became a platform for rising voices to be heard and valued—not just as students, but as researchers in the making. It was a celebration of young minds stepping boldly into the academic arena.
