Cabarrus Catholic College, Inc. successfully conducted the Kabataan Alerto Symposium 2025: “A Youth Empowerment Series on Rights, Advocacy, and National Security” on October 18, 2025, at the CCC Covered Court. The event brought together first-year college students for a day of learning and empowerment, focusing on good citizenship, youth rights, and civic advocacy.

The program began with preliminaries led by Ms. Steffani A. Dumopoy, LPT, Ms. Shina L. Arceo, LPT, and Mr. Jomar T. Abelida, LPT, followed by a warm welcome address from Ms. Maria Berna G. Tapia, LPT. Ms. Stacey Mae C. Guiwan, LPT introduced the guest speaker, while Ms. Shina Arceo, LPT served as the program host, setting the tone for a meaningful and insightful discussion.

Guest speaker Mrs. Rita R. Santes delivered an inspiring talk on “Youth Rights and Civic Advocacy.” She reminded everyone that civic advocacy goes beyond politics—it is about standing up for what is right, loving others, and living out one’s faith through action. Mrs. Santes expressed her gratitude to the CCC administration, teachers, students, staff, and Sipalay City officials, and encouraged the youth to “dream, so that your dream will come true.”

The discussion also highlighted freedom of expression, the right to live free from discrimination and violence, and awareness of Republic Act 9262. Students actively participated through thoughtful questions, which Mrs. Santes addressed meaningfully during the open forum.

The symposium concluded with the message from 1 Timothy 4:12 and Mrs. Santes’ powerful reminder: “Your voice, your power.” As the event came to an end, every Cabarrusian was called to embody faith in action—to live with integrity, lead with compassion, and become catalysts for positive change.

Today’s event reminds us that true empowerment begins when the youth choose to act with faith and courage. It reminds us that change starts within ourselves—and that even the smallest voices can create the loudest impact when guided by purpose, compassion, and conviction.

“Be the voice of the youth, lead with action, do it with power.”

Today’s Holy Mass was a beautiful reminder of kindness, goodness, and respect; virtues that our teachers live with such grace and sincerity. Their patience teaches us understanding, their compassion inspires hope, and their faith strengthens our hearts.

Each day, they lead by example, showing that true greatness begins with a humble and gentle heart.

As Fr. Bayog said, “After all, it’s not between you and them, it’s between you and God.” May we always choose goodness in all we do.

Happy Teachers’ Day, our wonderful teachers! Thank you for being living examples of love and light.

Behind every strict rule and every reminder lies a teacher’s heart that only wants the best for their students. They do not just teach subjects, they teach values. They help us grow into better people, guiding us to listen, to learn, and to live with purpose.

I vividly remember when I was still in first year. One of our subject teachers was Ms. Lyndie Mae Sapio, Lpt. She was our teacher in the contemporary world. One of her famous rules in class was "𝘖𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯."

From the perspective of some students her tactic in class is "too strict " but in reality she's just reminding us that if you really want to make it far in life it is important that we should know when is the perfect time to speak and when you should just simply listen.

Her words of wisdom made me realized how vital the roles they play within our society. They do not only teach us to thrive in different academic fields but simultaneously help us mold our characters and create improvements within ourselves and that they do not only teach what's written inside a book but they also serves as a guide to one's child to have a brighter future and above all, helping us to have a good moral character.

To all the teachers who stayed late, believed in us when we didn't believe in ourselves, and went beyond the textbook to teach us life — thank you. your impact goes far beyond the classroom. you plant seeds of knowledge, resilience, and kindness that grow for a lifetime.

Teachers are the real superheroes — no capes, just chalk, patience, and a whole lot of heart! You’ve guided us not only through lessons but through life itself, teaching us values, kindness, and all the good things that truly matter. Thank you for being our mentors, cheerleaders, and second parents’ rolled into one.

Here’s to the teachers who turn ordinary days into lessons we’ll never forget. We salute you!

𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 | Before You Open Your Books, Better Open Your Wallet Instead.

As the midterm exam fast approaches, some students are still in line to pay their tuition fees. The resilience of the students to endure the hunger and the burning heat of the sun is truly amazing. Even at this time, students are still waiting for their turn to pay at the cashier. It is even expected that tomorrow will not be much different since there are students that haven't gotten their permits back.

This situation brings to light the financial challenges confronted by numerous students, often requiring them to prioritize tuition payments over academic preparation. A plentiful time for studying has gone to waste as students chose to line up for their payments instead.

A quick reminder: money pays for exams, but effort pays for the future.

𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 | Magnitude 6.9 Quake Damages Roads and Buildings in Bogo City, Cebu

A powerful magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck off the coast of Bogo City, Cebu at 9:59 PM on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, causing widespread damage to roads, buildings, and heritage structures across northern Cebu. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) located the epicenter 17 kilometers northeast of Bogo at a depth of 20 kilometers.

CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Coast Guard District Central Visayas (CGDCV) has raised its alert status following the 6.9-magnitude earthquake that struck northern Cebu and nearby areas on the evening of Tuesday, September 30, 2025, with its epicenter traced to Bogo City.

According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), the quake’s epicenter was located 17 kilometers north of Bogo City, northern Cebu with a depth of 10 kilometers. The earthquake was recorded at 9:59 p.m. with aftershocks continuing until past midnight.

Authorities emphasized that the heightened alert aims to protect coastal and inland communities while facilitating rapid deployment of personnel and equipment to affected areas.

The agency also assured the public that updates will be provided as new information becomes available, urging residents to stay vigilant and follow safety protocols.

The 6.9-magnitude quake caused strong tremors in Cebu, Bohol, Leyte, and other nearby areas. Rescue and relief operations are currently ongoing, with authorities continuing to assess damage and respond to reported casualties.

The Coast Guard’s alert comes amid multiple ongoing emergency measures by the Cebu Police Provincial Office, local disaster risk reduction units, and other agencies to safeguard residents and support relief operations across the region.

To reinforce local capabilities, a 97-meter Philippine Coast Guard vessel carrying medical personnel from the National Headquarters is scheduled to arrive in Cebu on October 1, providing additional support for ongoing emergency response efforts.

Moreover, seven SAR dogs from the national headquarters will be deployed to Cebu to bolster search and rescue operations as needed.

The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) on Wednesday said 26 people have been reported killed in the magnitude 6.9 earthquake that hit Bogo City, Cebu on Tuesday evening.

Most of the fatalities were reported in Bogo with 19, followed by San Remigio with five, and Tabuelan and Medellin with one each, according to the OCD.

Most of the injured were reported in Bogo with 119, followed by San Francisco with 14, Tabuelan and Catmon with five each, and Daanbantayan with four.

“Situation still being assessed. We've been receiving reports of casualties from different sources. However, we still need to validate those reports to provide a clearer picture,” OCD deputy spokesperson Diego Mariano told reporters in a message.

𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐭. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐮𝐱

Every October 1, we honor St. Therese of Lisieux, also known as the “Little Flower.” Her feast reminds us of the beauty of living with a childlike faith, trusting God in small and ordinary ways. October is also the month of the Holy Rosary, and this celebration encourages us to deepen our devotion and reflect on how prayer strengthens our daily lives.

The importance of this feast lies in how St. Therese teaches us that holiness is not only found in great deeds, but also in the little acts of love we do each day. She believed that even the smallest kindness offered with love has eternal value. For students, workers, and families, her example shows that we don’t need extraordinary circumstances to draw closer to God.

She once said, “𝘔𝘺 𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦.”, meaning that love is the center of her life’s purpose, and it is what gives meaning to everything she does.

As we celebrate her feast, may we be inspired to live with simplicity, humility, and love, making every little moment a path toward God.
