They said students are the hope of the nation.
But why does hope look like sleepless nights, shaky hands, and coffee that tastes like survival?
Why does it feel like we’re building a future while slowly breaking in the present?

We wanted learning, but we ended up chasing grades.
We wanted freedom, but every choice feels scripted.
We wanted connection, but group chats made us lonelier.

They call us resilient.
But resilience sounds like a pretty word for exhaustion—
for hiding breakdowns behind deadlines,
for smiling when we’re already falling apart.

If we are hope, then why do we feel like fire—bright, but consuming ourselves to stay alive?

Still, we keep going.
We write with tired eyes.
We answer exams with trembling hands.
We dream of a tomorrow even if today already hurts.

Because maybe that’s who we are—
burning, yes.
breaking, yes.
but somehow, still shining.

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 | Two Zambales Towns Fear Flooding After Mega D**e Part Collapses

ZAMBALES — Municipalities of San Felipe and San Narciso are feared to be submerged in floodwaters following the partial collapse of the Mega D**e along the Sto. Tomas River, as continuous heavy rains brought by Tropical Storms Dante and Emong have significantly raised water levels in the area.

According to Zambales Provincial Engineer Domingo Mariano, floodwaters may reach the towns if the Mega D**e continues to deteriorate and if the situation worsens, strong water and sand currents could cause property damage and pose significant risks to nearby communities.

With the threat of flooding growing more severe, Governor Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. has mobilized heavy equipment to carry out emergency repairs on the collapsed section of the d**e with the cooperation of local officials in the affected towns to help avert further danger.

Meanwhile, Engineer Domingo urged residents in nearby communities to remain vigilant and closely monitor updates, as continued heavy rainfall could lead to the complete failure of the d**e and assured the public that authorities will continue to monitor the dam to respond promptly to any developments.

Heavy rains. Strong winds. Floods. Are you safe? Are they safe? This tragedy brings us a challenge where everyone seeks help from others. This is someone's wish—and someone else's nightmare.

The Philippines has a tropical climate with two main seasons: the dry season (usually from November to April) and the wet or rainy season (typically from May to October). June to August are especially known for heavy rains and typhoons, often resulting in floods and landslides in many regions.

According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the country is hit by an average of 20 typhoons each year. Around nine of these make landfall, meaning they pass directly over the country’s landmass. Located in the “typhoon belt” of the western Pacific, the Philippines is frequently in the path of storms that bring both destruction and displacement.

Every typhoon is a symbol of the Filipino spirit—showing strength in the face of adversity. There are holes in the roof. There are soaked, damaged items and furniture floating outside what once was a safe home. And the cold wind? It cannot be defeated by any kind of warmth—except the embrace of a loved one. Ensuring the safety of our families, pets, friends—whoever they may be—is the purest act we can do in the midst of the storm.

One day, when the rain stops, it will be our turn to clean the roads and welcome a brand new day. We will keep holding on to hope—until the land goes dry.

During the heavy rains, strong winds, and floods—don’t stop wishing for it all to end. And when it does, don’t stop wishing for the strength to face it again. Because there will always be hope. A forever kind of hope. Until the land goes dry.

𝗜𝗡 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗦 | HATS OFF, GRADUA-LA

"𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝑮𝒂𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒂?~" Or—should we say—the next generation of successful individuals who strived to survive the game? These people are surely among the batch of 2025 COE graduates who attended the 8th Commencement Exercises of President Ramon Magsaysay State University, held at the Campus Gymnasium today. Every single soul at this event shared different moments of hardship and joyous adventures during their time at the university, and now, they have assembled to celebrate the journey they have been through, together as one.

This milestone proves that anyone can be anything; regardless of the challenges we face, we could still stand resilient, brilliant, and fearless. Just like these completers, no matter what storm they come across, their dedication and courage stand stronger. Despite the raging typhoon, the graduands still showed up, dressed and prepared to go to campus for one last time—but this day, to get their diplomas and be recognized for the years they chose to fight for their dreams. That is what Ramonians are; for every circumstances they go through, they remain unstoppable.
