Every anniversary becomes more meaningful when it is celebrated through giving back. This year’s 𝘼𝙙𝙤𝙥𝙩-𝙖-𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢 carries us to the coastal communities of Miagao West Central Elementary School and Palaca-Damilisan National High School, where we share not only school supplies and learning materials but also joy, stories, and inspiration.

At Miagao West Elementary Central School, little learners will receive essential school supplies and be immersed in storytelling sessions that spark curiosity, creativity, and hope for the future. Meanwhile, at Palaca-Damilisan National High School, senior high school students will be given guidance through a talk on the UP admission process and the BS Fisheries program, opening doors of opportunity and empowering them to dream bigger.

Through this tradition, we are reminded that education is not only about knowledge but also about nurturing vision, compassion, and community. Together, let’s continue to plant seeds of learning and inspiration—because today’s young minds are tomorrow’s changemakers. 💙🐟

𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖❓

Mangroves are the only trees that thrive in salty, coastal waters — creating a vital habitat where land meets sea. They protect coastlines from erosion, serve as nurseries for 75% of tropical fish species, and store up to 10 times more carbon than terrestrial forests. 🌊🐟

𝓜𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓻𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓼 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓷𝓪𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓵 𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓮𝓵𝓭𝓼—protecting us from storm surges, typhoons, and rising seas. They’re not just trees, they’re life-saving ecosystems.

𝓑𝓾𝓽 𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓻𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓼 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓾𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻 𝓽𝓱𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓽.
Over 35% of global mangrove forests have been lost in just a few decades — cleared for aquaculture, urban development, and tourism. Climate change and pollution only accelerate the damage.

𝓦𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝔀𝓮 𝓭𝓸?
• Support and join local mangrove planting efforts
• Promote sustainable coastal development
• Raise awareness about their role in fighting climate change
• Reduce single-use plastic waste that ends up in coastal zones

Today, we celebrate the ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ ᴍᴀɴɢʀᴏᴠᴇ ᴅᴀʏ, officially known as the ɪɴᴛᴇʀɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ᴅᴀʏ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏɴꜱᴇʀᴠᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴀɴɢʀᴏᴠᴇ ᴇᴄᴏꜱʏꜱᴛᴇᴍ. It was established by UNESCO in 2015 to raise awareness about the importance of mangrove ecosystems and the urgent need to protect them. 🌍 Let’s stand for mangroves by committing to conserve, restore, and protect these vital coastal ecosystems.

A very special day to one of our magnificent giants of the Sea!

𝓦𝓸𝓻𝓵𝓭 𝓞𝓻𝓬𝓪 𝓓𝓪𝔂 is finally here! On this day, we celebrate and honor our Orcas as they are bear the heavy weight of being both the keystone species, and indicator species in our marine ecosystems. To play a major role in balancing out the ecosystem and be an indicator of a healthy ecosystem are the most vital contributions of Orcas.

With approximately 50,000 killer whales, Orcas are now considered endangered species. Moreover, they are also umbrella species, making it ideal to protect them. Through this, other species in the ecosystem can alse be well-protected and further contribute to a healthier marine ecosystem.

As this day comes to a close, may we be be reminded that we, humans, are also like these underwater giants that need love and care to further nurture and grow.

𝓢𝓹𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓭 𝓪𝔀𝓪𝓻𝓮𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼! 𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓞𝓻𝓬𝓪𝓼 𝓪𝓼 𝔀𝓮 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓼𝓮𝓵𝓿𝓮𝓼!🌊

FUN FACT! 🤓👆

Sharks are actually not hostile to humans! Being considered prehistoric animals, sharks have been evolving for millions of years — long before humans even existed. 🤔 Therefore, we are not part of their diet! ❌️ Sharks are generally curious and would only attack humans if they are confused, making shark attacks to humans a rare occurrence.

In fact, more people are killed worldwide every year by elephants, crocodiles, bees, wasps, and even coconuts than sharks!

Let us stop the misinformation and give love to our prehistoric grumpy-looking underwater neighbor! Happy Shark Awareness Day! 🦈💙💛

A mythic spear forged by the elder cyclops, and has outlived millennia of legends—the majestic Trident is only bestowed upon a figure of high-caliber leadership and with exceptional contributions to academia.

A recognition bound to the gleaming Trident not only highlights mastery over their fields of expertise but also the ability to wield shifting waves into harboring and more navigable waters.

Until then, in a few more moons, the 10th Trident awaits… 🔱✨
