As people go on to their day-to-day lives, daily phenomena occur like a broken recordโ€”worsened by what it felt like an eternal whip of fate. Imprisoned cries for truth and restrained freedom to be heard grapple to be voiced, published, posted, pinned, and captured.

In an attempt to contain voices meant to spread and be freed, their resilience for responsible and fearless journalism embodies the blaze of passion to burst the bubbles of those holding on to their seats and power.

On this day, we celebrate the National Press Freedom to honor the facets of truth and media. Their voices whir, not just to reach the mass, but to awaken people's perceptions and sentiments from deep slumber. Yet, wind whispers and it breathes hope for them. These are just some of the pieces that complete the image of a journalist.

They are the faces of relentless dedication in pursuit of truth, a model of unwavering passion despite oppression, and often the targets of oppressors to silence the weak. Still, they remain steadfastโ€”stood firm notwithstanding the risk of their chosen trackโ€”for the people, for the truth.

This is not just a commemoration of their dedication of bringing news and stories, but a hallmark of our rights to speak for the truth and to stand firm for what is right.

Today, we honor the brave journalists who bet their lives in a game of who's who. We honor the people behind the cameras that bring daily news and stories. We honor the on-site journalists who wade in floodwaters and braved the storm just to deliver firsthand stories. We honor the journalists that ask fearlessly to uncover the truth behind failed promises and the ones buried that are eventually forgotten in a course of time.

We honor this day, where people slowly lit the room despite the fear of knowing and when the dawn is finally breaking after a long night of silence.

Thus, we will not be silenced again. Let your inks bleed to relive the dead truth, and those who once spoke for their rights and freedom. Let us break free from imprisoned rights to voice our sentiments and finally expose and challenge the complacency of those entrenched in power.

Let no one paint black the color of hope in aiming to be heard.

Our voices have the power to uncover the buried truth, to lit the light and see the silhouette of fraud and deception, and to awaken the hearts lulled to sleep in the cradles of lies.

As the clock works, the press is once and always will be the armour of truth. So, let your voice continue to whir and reach the lying dormant, and eventually, the wind will whisper hope for the oppressed.

Huwag itikom ang bibig, huwag magbingi bingihan at hayaang mamulat ang mata sa katotohanan.

Ang malayang pamamahayag ay hindi lamang isang karapatan, ito ay kapangyarihanโ€”kapangyaring maging boses ng mga panambitang nakagapos sa tanikala ng pangamba.

At kapangyarihang maging liwanag sa aninong nagtatago sa dilim ng panlilinlang.
Hindi lang tayo tengang handang makinig o hindi kaya'y mga matang nagmamasid.
Tayo ay mga boses na magpapabatid.

Nagka-isa ang mga mag-aaral ng Northern Iloilo State University Main Campus sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika na pinangunahan ng mga kasapi ng Kapisanang Filipino (KF) ngayong Agosto 29, sa pamamagitan ng isang makulay na programa na may temang "PAGLINANG SA FILIPINO AT KATUTUBONG WIKA: MAKASAYSAYAN SA PAGKAKAISA NG BANSA".

Ayon kay Dr. Gilda Deguma, Pangalawang Pangulo para sa Gawaing Pang-akademiko, "Ang wika ay diwa at kaluluwa ng bayan" , hango kay Lope K. Santos. Sa pahayag na ito, binigyang diin niya ang kahalagahan ng wika sa pagkakaisa ng bayan.

Naging mas makulay ang pagdiriwang na ito sa paghahain ng mga kakanin, sorbetes, at taho na inihanda ng mga kasapi ng KF. Kasama nito ang pagpapakitang gilas ng mga mag-aaral ng Filipino major sa pamamagitan ng pagrampa suot ang kanilang Filipiniana.

Kasabay ng pagdiriwang, binigyang pagkakataon din ito upang bigyang pasasalamat ang mga dating opisyales ng KF sa kanilang mga naging kontribusyon sa organisasyon.

Nagkaroon din ng pagpapakilala sa mga bagong opisyales ng KF matapos ang kanilang pagtanggap sa panunumpa sa katungkulan, na siyang magpapatuloy sa mga proyekto at aktibidad ng organisasyon.

Bilang pagpapatuloy, nagpakitang gilas naman ang iba't ibang majora sa kanilang talento sa pamamagitan ng folk dance, pagkanta, at pakikipagbalagtasan. Upang mas lalo pang mapatatag ang samahan, nagpalaro ang mga kasapi ng KF.

Sa pagtatapos ng programa, inanyayahan ang lahat sa pagsayaw ng "Community Dance" na pinangunahan ng Opisyales ng Kapisanang Filipino.

The Publication and Information Office (PIO) conducted its first organizational meeting together with the Astrals Publication, the official student publication of Northern Iloilo State University (NISU) - Main Campus, at the NISU Mini Theater on August 28.

One of its agenda was to highlight the Campus Journalism Act or RA 7079, where the Astralsโ€™ editorial board and staffers were reminded of their rights to uphold and protect the freedom of the press at the campus level, responsibilities to strengthen ethical values, and duties to foster critical thinking and development of campus journalism.

An orientation on the mandate, role, and functions of the Astrals was also undertaken. Other organizational matters were likewise tackled and agreed upon.

PIO Director and The Astrals Adviser, Professor Mark Anthony P. Lopez, presided over the meeting and introduced his two co-advisers. The adviser for English content is Professor Glenn Grace Bayhon, while the adviser for Filipino contents is Professor Marieth Flor Bernardez.

โ€œA campus publication is not just
a newspaperโ€”it is the student's
voice, the guardian of truth, and
the spark that inspires change,โ€ Prof. Lopez expressed in his closing remarks.

Northern Iloilo State University (NISU) held the official oath-taking ceremony for its major student organizationsโ€”the Supreme Student Council (SSC), Future Leaders of the Philippines (FLP), College Red Cross Youth (CRCY), and the Young Environmentalist Society (YES)โ€”as part of the PAGABI-ABI 2025 celebration.

The event highlighted the formal recognition of student leaders who pledged to serve their fellow students with dedication and integrity.

The oath-taking was administered by Dr. Gilda E. Deguma, Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA), who underscored the vital role of student organizations in promoting leadership, service, and meaningful engagement within the campus.

With their newly affirmed positions, the officers are now tasked to lead initiatives that will strengthen student participation and contribute to the overall development of NISUโ€™s academic and social community.

Sa kabila ng mga hamon ng panahon, muling nagkakaisa ang buong bansa ngayong Lunes, Agosto 25, 2025, upang gunitain ang Araw ng mga Bayaniโ€”isang araw ng pambansang pagkilala at pasasalamat sa lahat ng Pilipinong, kilala man o hindi, ay nag-alay ng buhay, oras, at lakas para sa kalayaan at kinabukasan ng ating bayan.

Hindi lamang ito alala para sa mga pangalan sa aklat ng kasaysayan gaya nina Rizal at Bonifacio, kundi pati na rin sa mga simpleng mamamayanโ€”magsasaka, g**o, manggagawa, OFWs, at frontlinersโ€”na araw-araw na nagpapakita ng tahimik na kabayanihan. Ang diwa ng selebrasyon ay nagpapaalala na ang pagiging bayani ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa pakikidigma, kundi sa pusong handang maglingkod at magmalasakit para sa kapwa.

Ang petsang ito ay nakaugat sa Sigaw ng Pugad Lawin noong Agosto 1896, isang makasaysayang sandali ng pagtindig laban sa pananakop. Bagamaโ€™t patuloy ang pagtatalo sa eksaktong lugar at araw ng naturang pangyayari, pinili ang huling Lunes ng Agosto upang magsilbing sama-samang paggunitaโ€”isang araw na nagbibigay boses sa lahat ng uri ng Pilipino.

Sa ibaโ€™t ibang panig ng bansa, idinaraos ang mga seremonya ng wreath-laying at parangal sa Libingan ng mga Bayani, gayundin ang mga programa sa paaralan at mga pagtitipon sa komunidad. Sa mga plataporma ng midya at social media, itinatampok din ang mga makabagong bayani na hindi humahawak ng armas ngunit araw-araw na nakikipaglaban para sa dignidad, kabuhayan, at kinabukasan ng kanilang pamilya.

Ngayong taon, binibigyang-diin ng temang โ€œIsang Diwa. Isang Lahi. Isang Bayanihan.โ€ (One spirit, one race, one community in unity) ang kolektibong diwa ng pagkakaisa. Sa panawagan ng pamahalaan at mga lider ng lipunan, hinihikayat ang bawat Pilipino na makibahagi sa paghubog ng isang makatarungan at maunlad na bansaโ€”dahil sa isang demokratikong lipunan, bawat isa ay may papel na ginagampanan.

Higit sa lahat, ang Araw ng mga Bayani ay paalala na ang lakas ng isang bansa ay nagmumula hindi lamang sa iilang dakila, kundi sa bawat ordinaryong Pilipino na nagiging bayani sa sariling paraan.

Sa pagtutulungan, pagkakapantay-pantay, at malasakit, patuloy na itinataguyod ang diwa ng bayanihanโ€”ang tunay na pamana ng ating mga bayani.

His legacy serves as a guiding light for every Filipino who values freedom and justice. Ninoy Aquinoโ€™s martyrdom in 1983 awakened a nation to the power of unity and the importance of standing firm against oppression.

His selfless act reminds us that true patriotism requires not only words but also unwavering dedication to the greater good of the people.

As we commemorate this national holiday, let us reflect on the lessons his life has imparted.
The rights and liberties we enjoy today are hard-won, and it is our collective responsibility to preserve and protect them for future generations.

May this commemoration inspire us to live with courage, integrity, and compassion.

In remembering Ninoy Aquino, we also renew our commitment to building a just, free, and democratic society worthy of the sacrifices made for our nation.

Northern Iloilo State University (NISU) tops Region VI among State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and comes 15th overall in the Philippines according to the 2025 AD Scientific Index.

University President, Dr. Bobby D. Gerardo, who was named the best researcher in the category of the last five years with a good H-index, contributed to NISU's high ranking.

Among other notable researchers who helped NISU become successful include Dr. Allemar Jhone P. Delima, Dr. Jan Carlo Arroyo, Prof. Daryl Lustracion Superio, and Dr. Felipe P. Vista IV.

On the other hand, West Visayas State University (WVSU) placed 2nd, and followed by Iloilo Science and Technology University (ISAT-U) as 3rd in Region VI.

This achievement reflects NISU's dedication to intellectual excellence and positions the institution as a primary research center.
