Every Communication student at Adamson University knows that their junior year is when theyโ€™ll be swamped. Itโ€™s the โ€œproduction yearโ€ that will really challenge oneโ€™s time management skills. What more if you are a member of an organization, doing part-time jobs on the side, and even an ambassador for a brand? Sounds impossible, but thatโ€™s not the case for Klasmeyt KD.

Kianne Delos Reyes is a third-year Communication student. Heโ€™s balancing attending production classes, being a member of Falcon Radio (FR), doing graphic design, and recently Oppo just announced that heโ€™s one of their ambassadors. And he does all that with a smile on his face.

But itโ€™s not easy.

๐—™๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ผ

He was recently promoted to Social Media Manager for Falcon Radio. But before everything else, he was a jock. A student DJ. A voice that can be heard in Cardinal Santos (CS) Garden. This organization pushed him to be a better version of himself.

โ€œFR changed my college life. It helped me in so many ways. It helped me discover skills that I didnโ€™t know I had. A lot of the other DJs really helped me in developing my skills in hosting,โ€ he said.

โ€œNot just the bond that we built, but also the lessons that I learned from them. So it is one of those things that Iโ€™m really grateful for with Falcon Radio,โ€ he added.

Before classes started, Falcon Radio partnered with Oppo to promote the brand and its newest product: Oppo Pad SE. Thatโ€™s where it all started. The bridge that connected KD and Oppo.

โ€œWe are asked to create content and upload it to our page in exchange for products,โ€ he said.

๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜

During the partnership, Oppo was also looking for its next ambassador. They opened applications and encouraged members of Falcon Radio to apply. Self-doubt was there, but submitting meant KD was up for the challenge.

โ€œKuya Daniel, our Operations Director, sent us a link. I registered through the link and filled it out without knowing that it was going to be this big,โ€ he said.

In the application, there was a question that stood out: What was the reason why he applied? What was his motivation to do it?

โ€œWhat immediately came to my mind was my first phone. It felt like a full-circle moment because my first phone was an Oppo. Itโ€™s like an achievement that now Iโ€™m trying to be one of their ambassadors,โ€ he said.

Now that classes are ongoing, he has been really occupied. Academic and extracurricular commitments made him forget that he even auditioned for Oppo.

โ€œI was hosting an event in Adamson. I was tired, but then I got a message asking if I was open to collaborating with them. I immediately said yes because I know this is a big opportunity and itโ€™s one of the things that Iโ€™ve been looking forward to before classes started,โ€ he said.

๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ

Seems impossible, but KD showed that anything is possible once you try, and he encourages other communication students to just go for it as well.

โ€œI think it is a big step for the Communication Department to have their students really explore their potential and engage with these kinds of stuff (being an ambassador). I know a lot of other students recognize these opportunities, and once they see this, it can be like a motivation to just try and try,โ€ he said.

โ€œYou lose one hundred percent of the chances if you don't try. If you believe in yourselves, if you will not let fear or doubts conquer your body and minds, you will be able to do the things you wanted to do,โ€ he added.

This is only the beginning for KD. He just launched his first post as an ambassador for Oppo, and everyone should be on the lookout for thereโ€™s more in store.

Everyone in the COMMunity is proud of you and will be looking forward to more content. Congratulations, Klasmeyt KD!

IN PHOTOS: Adamson University kicks off its vibrant annual tradition, the Student Organization Activation Recruitment, known as the AdU SOAR, at the Saint Therese Quadrangle, marking its first day on September 8.

Students can be seen being invited to various Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs), to spread their wings and connect with the campus life by joining organizations that ignite their passions and reflect their interests.

More than memberships, these RSOs offer opportunities to grow, lead, and be molded into well-rounded individuals throughout their college journey.

Iโ€™ll try not to be artistic this time,
Butโ€”
Iโ€™ll retell how we met in my mind,
It is something, a feeling
That I wouldnโ€™t dare to forget.
The air in the lobby
Messed with my hair for a bit,
My heart was pounding
Because it felt like
It should not happen in the beginning.
We were worried
And weary,
A rendezvous that made no sense
But I never thought I needed you.
We talked,
We shared laughs,
We bonded,
It was perfect.
At exact twelve noon you released
A sweet sigh of ecstasy,
I checked the time
To see if I could make it in time
To where I should be.
I asked if I could stay until the quarter
After the top of the hour,
Then we smoked out in your balcony
And I canโ€™t help but noticed,
Your blue Marlboro sun and rising
Matched my red Marlboro sun and moon.
Then you lay down your bed,
I went on top of you
And buried my face to your neck.
Your caress, your kisses still tingle me,
Your lips were luscious,
You were surprised by how I cling to you
But I know you loved every second of it.
My yearning stopped at that moment,
I wish the time did too.
The deadline came but you asked
For another five minutes,
And another,
And another,
And until
The quarter after the bottom of the hour came,
I needed to go.
I forgot to mention,
The way you cling to me
In your balcony
Was perfect,
We gawk into the busy avenue
I saw the beauty of your soul.
I wish I never left your place,
I wish I never have to go,
I wish it happens again.

Today, we honor the courage of truth-seekers and storytellers who continue to shed light even in the darkest of times.

They remind us that truth is not just a principle, but the foundation of a just and democratic society.

May their dedication inspire us to reflect on the value of press freedom, to safeguard it against threats, and to stand united in defending the right to speak, write, know, and carry forward their mission by supporting a press that is free, fearless, and for the people.

All roads definitely led to Espaรฑa as the UAAP Season 88 officially roared to life with a press conference last Aug. 27, at the Dr. Robert C. Sy Grand Ballroom in UST.

The event served as the grand opening celebration featuring key announcements, a deep dive into this seasonโ€™s theme, and performances by the Salinggawi Dance Troupe and Thomasian alumnus, Kean Cipriano.

๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐—๐—ข๐—จ๐—ฅ๐—ก๐—˜๐—ฌ ๐—ข๐—™ ๐—›๐—ข๐—ฃ๐—˜

No school is more hyped for Season 88 than host school UST, as they kick off this season opening titled โ€œJourney of Hopeโ€ on Aug. 19, at the UST Grandstand. The event paid tribute to the Churchโ€™s Jubilee Year of Hope, aiming to give everyone a taste of what being a Tomasino is like through the โ€œPaskuhanโ€ and โ€œWelcome Walkโ€ energy.

According to Rev. Fr. Rodel Cansancio O.P., this yearโ€™s program was built on the magic of the Season 79 opening, but this year, things will be taken up a notch with drone displays, stunning performances, and fireworks.

โ€œUAAP will always be above celebrating courage, discipline, and the united spirit of sports,โ€ he shared.

โ€œWe will constantly espouse that the true meaning of competition goes beyond meaning. Itโ€™s about inspiring transformation of oneself, teams, and the greater community,โ€ he added.

๐—” ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ฌ ๐—ข๐—™ ๐—™๐—”๐—œ๐—ง๐—›, ๐—›๐—ข๐—ฃ๐—˜, ๐—”๐—ก๐—— ๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—ฉ๐—˜

โ€œSpes non confuditโ€ or โ€œHope does not disappointโ€ โ€“ these were the remarks taken from the late Pope Francis that inspired this seasonโ€™s theme, giving more significance to the fact that this yearโ€™s opening falls within the jubilee year of hope, as explained by Rev. Fr. Louie Coronel O.P..

โ€œThis divine context gives Season 88 a deeper meaning. The games we play, the cheers we raise, and the dreams we pursue are part of a larger story of faith, hope, and love,โ€ he added.

A live performance by OPM artist Kean Cipriano took center stage, debuting the seasonโ€™s theme song, โ€œStrength in Motion, Hope in Action,โ€ penned by Mr. Louell V. Baldoza. The song captured how music rallies our spirits, reminding us to โ€œstand as allies, not rivals in need,โ€

๐—ช๐—›๐—”๐—งโ€™๐—ฆ ๐—•๐—ฅ๐—˜๐—ช๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—ง๐—›๐—œ๐—ฆ ๐—ฆ๐—˜๐—”๐—ฆ๐—ข๐—ก?

Fr. Cansancio announced the addition of a boysโ€™ tennis tournament, the return of high school baseball, and date adjustments, moving judo and taekwondo from the first to the second quarter.

In line with the inclement weather, the panel also announced that in case of heavy rains and flooding, UST is prepared to move the opening rites to Monday, Sept. 22. However, if light showers occur, the ceremony will push through.

One thing is certain โ€“ this season will be like no other. As Fr. Cansancio said, this season will be leveled up; bigger, bolder, and more spectacular than ever before. A season burning with fire, heart, and hype, one that every fan simply canโ€™t afford to miss.
