‎Today, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering spirit of our forebears who fought for the freedom we now enjoy. As we wave our flags high, we are reminded that freedom is not merely a gift from history—it is a responsibility for the future.
‎
‎As Andrés Bonifacio once declared, “Aling pag-ibig pa ang hihigit kaya sa pagkadalisay at pagkadakila gaya ng pag-ibig sa tinubuang lupa?” Let this day be a call to love our nation with action, awareness, and accountability—because true freedom thrives in the hands of the people who never forget why it was won.

Sa pagtatapos ng panuruan 2024-2025, may galak naming binabati ang mga batang makatang nagsipagtapos, na naging parte ng Editorial Board/Patnugutan sa ilalim ng Pamahayagang Pangkampus na "Ang Pagalungan".

Ang pagiging mamamahayag ay hindi lamang pagpapakitang gilas sa galing at talino. Ito ay nagsasalaysay ng mga istoryang naghahatid impormasyon at inspirasyon sa madla. Sa bawat pagdapat ng panulat sa papel ay may nakapaloob na istorya na siyang nagbibigay boses sa mga taong walang tinig.

Kaya't ipinapaabot ng "Ang Pagalungan" ang malaking pasasalamat sa mga miyembro nitong nagsipagtapos sa kanilang ipinakitang dedikasyon sa pagsusulat upang magbigay impormasyon sa madla. Sa loob ng halos pitong taon ay ipinamalas ninyo ang inyong galing at pagkamalikhain sa pamamahayag.

Nawa'y sa pagtungtong ninyo sa kolehiyo ay bitbit ninyo ang mga aral na ipinabaon sa inyo ng inyong mga tagapagsanay, at inyong mga karanasan sa larangang ito. Sana'y patuloy kayong magsusulat nang may paninindigan, tapang, at katapatan.

Sa muli, kayo'y aming binabati nang may galak at pagmamalaki. Nawa’y huwag ninyong tuldukan ang pagiging inspirasyon sa kapwa, bagkus ay ipagpatuloy ninyo ito nang may katapatan at taos-pusong hangarin.

Hanggang sa susunod na kabanata ng inyong paglalakbay tungo sa pagkamit ninyo ng inyong mga pangarap.

In recognition of their graduation this 2025, The Reflector extends its sincere congratulations to the members of the Editorial Board for S.Y. 2024–2025.

Throughout the academic year, these student-journalists served as the voice and conscience of the community, upholding the principles of truth, creativity, and responsible journalism. Their unwavering commitment did not go unnoticed—as The Reflector proudly rose from the Division level all the way to the National Schools Press Conference, proving that excellence in campus journalism begins with courage and heart.

We’re proud of everything you’ve done and everything you’re still set to do. Wherever you are now, we hope you’re writing your next chapter with the same passion you brought to The Reflector.

Congratulations, graduates. May you continue to write boldly, speak truthfully, and lead with purpose.
