The Trinidad Complex was already noisier than normal by eight in the morning. Even before the first game started, athletes were already warming up for their games, students moving around, and cheers could be heard everywhere. While some were already searching for the best location to watch their teams play, others were occupied with snapping photos with their friends.

But in the middle of all the excitement, a group of students stood silently close to the playing area in the midst of all that activity.

They weren't dressed in jerseys, nor were they anticipating their opportunity to compete. Instead, they held first-aid kits and remained in positions where they could readily observe the athletes and the audience. They shifted their focus from one area of the venue to another, silently observing what was taking place around them.

They were the youth volunteers of the Red Cross Youth at General Santos Doctorsโ€™ Medical School Foundation.

For numerous students, encountering them during Intramurals has turned into a usual aspect of every school occasion. They are typically positioned close to the court or activity space, prepared to help whenever someone requires support. Since they are not involved in the competition, they can often be easily disregarded.

That morning, though, their tasks were as significant as all that was occurring in the middle of the court

From the people in front of the crowdโ€”the athletes competing, the performers entertaining, and the students cheering for their teams. But behind that energy are people making sure the event can continue safely.

The RCY volunteers are part of that unseen effort.

They remind us that not everyone who contributes to an event has to be in the spotlight. Some people contribute simply by being ready when they are needed.

So while the crowd watches the next game, takes photos, and celebrates every victory, the volunteers remain where they have been all day, keeping watch.

They may not be the first people students notice when they enter the venue. They may not be the ones everyone talks about after the event.

But when someone needs help, they are there.

And sometimes, that is what makes a heroโ€”not being seen, but choosing to stay ready when everyone else is busy watching the show.

Perhaps, its not just the RCY. So cheers to all the "Untitled."

With Love,

YGEIA.

Soaring Nightingales echoed their voice and won the championship title in the Radio Broadcasting competition, followed by the Hydra Legions, who secured 2nd runner up and bagged the special awards, each voices has purpose and stories that matter. May every microphone speak louder for the truth.
