Walang pasok pero bakit may group chat na "guys gawa na tayo"?

Akala ko makakatulog na nang mahimbing, pero ayun, gising na gising pa rin ang GC. Walang class pero may deadline, walang prof pero may pa-announcement. Ang saya sana ng walang pasok… kung wala lang sanang requirements!!!😃😭

VALENCIA CITY, BUKIDNON — October 3, 2025. The San Agustin Institute of Technology, Inc. (SAIT) began the month of October with a dual celebration: the First Friday Mass and the Teacher’s Day Celebration 2025, both held at the SAIT Gymnasium.

The First Friday Mass commenced at 8:00 a.m. was presided over by Rev. Fr. Edgar Boglosa and concelebrated by Rev. Fr. Demetrio Berondo, Jr. In his homily, Fr. Boglosa reflected on the role of Christ as the “𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴,” quoting John 14:6: “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.” Calling Jesus the Magtutudlo (Teacher), he posed a striking question to the faithful: “𝘕𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘸 𝘣𝘢 𝘬𝘢 𝘯𝘪𝘺𝘢?” (Have you listened to Him?)

He emphasized that listening to God’s Word through the “ears of the heart” brings clarity, meaning, and freedom from hatred. He reminded the congregation that each person is a masterpiece of God, endowed with dignity and worth. Fr. Berondo further urged the community to forgive, trust in God’s providence, and place His Kingdom above all worldly pursuits. His homily concluded with an inspiring message: “𝘏𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦, 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴. 𝘓𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘏𝘪𝘮, 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯.. 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘯.”

The liturgy also included a special prayer and blessing for teachers, recognizing their mission of molding young minds and nurturing values. Students offered prayers for their mentors, asking for wisdom, patience, and strength as they continue to shape the future. Birthday celebrants for the month of October also received blessings. The Mass ended at 9:00 a.m., leaving the community uplifted by lessons of faith, love, and gratitude.

Immediately after the Mass, SAIT continued with its Teacher’s Day Celebration 2025, anchored on the theme: “Empowering Educators; Strengthening Resilience, Building Sustainability.” Faculty and staff from every department were honored on stage with tokens of appreciation from their students: flowers, balloons, cakes, and heartfelt surprises that sparked smiles and even tears of joy.

Some teachers were visibly moved by the simple yet meaningful gestures. Ma’am Virginia Arcallana, COE Dean, remarked with delight, “𝘈𝘺𝘴𝘶𝘴, 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘱𝘢-𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘢.” Sir Marvin Dionaldo, AMEBS moderator, humbly expressed, “𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦.” Meanwhile, Ma’am Ritzie Borres, English Club moderator, shared her gratitude, saying, “𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴.”

The twin celebrations of the day, spiritual renewal through the Eucharist and deep gratitude through Teacher’s Day tributes, beautifully embodied SAIT’s identity as a Catholic academic institution. Together, they highlighted the inseparable connection between faith and education, reminding the community that true learning is not only about knowledge but also about values, character, and the enduring bond between educators and students.

VALENCIA CITY, BUKIDNON — September 30, 2025. The San Agustin Institute of Technology, Inc. (SAIT) successfully held its annual Vocation Jamboree 2025 at the SAIT campus with the theme “Vocation: Promoting a Culture of Life.” The gathering brought together students, faculty, and invited speakers who shared their vocation journeys, emphasizing faith, discernment, and a life of service to God.

The program formally opened with welcome remarks from Ms. Jennifer Carbon, LPT, MAPM, followed by an invocation led by the high school and college CMV. In her message, Ms. Carbon encouraged students to enter the celebration with an “open mind and open heart.”

At the heart of the jamboree were the vocation testimonies of invited speakers. Ms. Carbon was the first to share her story, followed by Ms. Odina Dela Rosa, LPT, MAT-RE; Mr. Franciscano Mutia, MAT-RE; and Mr. Jerson Dura, LPT. Religious sisters Sr. Annie Gonzales, CSSM, and Sr. Chabyguel Arendain Gomez, MCM, also gave moving accounts of their spiritual journeys, challenges, and the joy of answering God’s call.

A highlight of the program was a talk show segment hosted by Ms. Juren Mae L. Zacarias, LPT, which deepened the discussion on marriage, religious life, and single blessedness. Mr. Franciscano reflected, “Happily married doesn’t mean no difficulties. God is working for us.” Sr. Annie and Sr. Guel, meanwhile, echoed the missionary zeal of St. Magdalena, inspiring students to see vocation as a faithful response to God’s love.

The forum also featured an open dialogue with students, who raised questions about discernment, challenges in religious life, and resisting temptations. The speakers responded with sincerity and wisdom:

𝟏. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠?

“I feel at peace, and I ask God for guidance,” shared Ms. Carbon.

Ms. Odina advised, “Pray to the Lord and ask if this path is truly for you, and whether the timing is right.”

Mr. Franciscano shared, “I am happy with the life I have now. I had sinned, but in finding Him, I also found peace.”

Sr. Guel reflected, “Sign nga nia bot sa akong kinabuhi, no? Kay kani jud diay na kinabuhi nga at peace ko, nakaingon pud ko nga para jud ko sa religious life. Ang Ginoo makapahimutang jud sa tanan.”

𝟐. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞?

Mr. Jerson explained, “The first challenge is financial stability. The second is learning how to balance community life, pastoral work, and studies.”

Sr. Guel added, “Through the process, I came to know myself. God allowed me to see my weaknesses and helped me through them.”

Sr. Annie noted, “In religious life, we all face challenges—the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, as well as learning to live harmoniously in community.”

𝟑. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦?

Ms. Carbon admitted, “My greatest temptation as a single person was to enter into a relationship. But I reminded myself that temptation is not sin—it only becomes sin when acted upon.”

Mr. Franciscano emphasized, “We should always put God at the center of our lives. Prayer is the most important part of our journey.”

Mr. Jerson added, “Your prayer guide should always be your partner in life.”

Sr. Guel affirmed, “If I give in to temptation, my vocation and dreams would be destroyed.”

𝟒. “𝐆𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐡𝐚 𝐤𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐢, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐟 𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐚 𝐣𝐮𝐝 𝐤𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐞?” – 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

Sr. Annie responded, “We must be very open to the Lord and to ourselves, especially to what we truly feel.”

The program also featured an intermission number by Brother Jerson, followed by a reflective activity where each speaker shared their “life verse.” Among the responses were:

“You only live once, so seize it.” – Mr. Jerson

“You are never in the wrong place even if no one recognizes your effort.” – Mr. Franciscano

“Psalm 4:3: God has set aside the faithful for Himself, and He listens when they call to Him.” – Sr. Guel

“What you’re doing to your life is your gate to God.” – Sr. Annie

“If you want to go to heaven, start with goodness.” – Ms. Odina

The Vocation Jamboree 2025 gave the SAIT community profound insights on life choices and faith, reminding students that vocation is not limited to priesthood or religious life, but also extends to marriage, career, and daily acts of service to God.

VALENCIA CITY – Gipangunahan sa City Government of Valencia ug sa City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO), uban ang mga youth ug mga volunteer groups sa dakbayan, ang usa ka Clean-Up Drive sa Panlibatuhan Creek karung adlawa, Setyembre 19, 2025.

Tumong sa maong kalihokan nga maminusan ang risgo sa pagbaha ug mapalig-on ang panaghiusa sa komunidad. Ang maong clean up drive gisalmutan sa nagkadaiyang mga youth ug volunteer groups kinsa manggihatagong mipaambit sa ilang panahon sa pagtabang sa maong kalihokan. Anaa usab kaganiha ang mga personahe sa Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), City Transportation and Traffic Management Department (CTTMD), Barangay DRRMO, ug mga SK officials gikan sa nagkalain-laing barangay. Matod sa usa ka staff sa Civil Defense, gihimo ang inspeksyon aron masuta ang kahimtang sa mga katawhan ug mahibal-an ang plano sa pagtabang.

Sa wala pa sugdi ang pagpanglimpyo, gipang-assign una ang mga misalmot sa nagkadaiyang mga area nga gi-klasipikar sumala sa naapektuhan sa baha:

Light – Purok 16A, diin nawala ang 4-anyos nga bata, usa ka 2-anyos nga batang babae, ug usa ka lalake
Moderate – Purok 20-21, daplin sa spillway.
Heavy – Purok 13, pinakagrabe ang epekto diin usa ka balay ang giagian sa baha ug niana nawala ang 48-anyos nga babaye. Gitaho usab sa mga residente nga kapin 100 ka balay ang naapektuhan.

Nag-inspeksyon usab ang mga opisyal sa lokal nga panggamhanan uban ang Head sa CDRRMO, si Mr. June Ray Valero, kauban ang Regional Director sa Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) Region X, si Director Antonio B. Sugarol, sa mga naapektuhan nga lugar.

Sa pagpaningkay-singkay kaganiha, aduna kitay nahinabi nga usa ka residente sa Purok 13, kinsa nagpadayag sa kabug-at sa dughan nga naay paglaom paghuman sa kusog nga baha,

“𝘕𝘢𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘶𝘥 𝘨𝘺𝘶𝘥 𝘮𝘪 𝘬𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘬𝘵𝘶𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘦𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘺𝘰. 𝘛𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘥 𝘴𝘢 𝘵𝘶𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘣𝘶𝘢𝘬 𝘴𝘢 𝘶𝘣𝘰𝘴 𝘴𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺, 𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘯𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘵.”

Samtang, matud sa mga organizer, “𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦.”, nga nagpasabot nga ang tumong dili lamang pagpanglimpyo, apan pagpangandam ug pagpabakod sa komunidad batok sa disgrasya.

Nagpahimangno ang CDRRMO sa tanan residente nga andamon ang pamilya ug magmatngon kanunay sa panahon sa emerhensiya. Ang kalihokan nagpahinomdom usab sa importansya sa pagtinabangay ug pag-andam aron lig-on ang komunidad batok sa peligro sa baha.

Si Maam Margah Resullar, ang direktor sa ELAA sa SAIT, mipadayag sa iyang pagpasalamat sa tanan nga nagpaambit sa maong donation drive.

"𝘕𝘢𝘨𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘰 𝘴𝘢 𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦 (𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘩)..."

Segun sa direktor, sa panahon nga sama niini, nakita niya ang presensya sa tinud-anay nga pag-alagad ug pagtabang sa mga tawo alang sa mga nagkinahanglan.

"𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘦 𝘬𝘢 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘵𝘢 𝘨𝘺𝘶𝘥 𝘯𝘢𝘬𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘰𝘥 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘮 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘭…", dugang ni Maam Resullar.

Kahinumduman nga niaging gabi-e, Setyembre 17, 2025, mibunok ang makusog nga ulan, hinungdan nga gibaha ang pipila ka mga barangay sa siyudad, ilabina didto sa Barobo, Lumbo, Bagontaas, Sugod, ug Poblacion, ug miresulta sa pagkabanwas sa ubay-ubay nga mga propriedad ug pagka-hunos sa pipila ka mga kinabuhi, samtang aduna usab nagpabiling missing.

Sa kasamtangan, padayun ang pag alima sa Lokal nga Pangagamhanan sa Valencia alang sa mga evacuees, ingon man usab ang ilang mga lakang sa pag seguro nga luwas ang tanang mga Valencianos. Nagtambayayong usab ang mga buhatan sa gobyerno, mga organisyasyon ug pribadong sektor sa paghatud sa mga nag-unang mga panginahanglanon alang niadtong mga gipanglunopan.

Gipahimangnoan ang tanan nga magmaigmat ug makig-kooperar sa mga awtoridad, ingon man usab sa pag ampo kanunay, ilabina niining panahon sa pagsulay.

SAIT GYMNASIUM — Monday, September 8, 2025, the San Agustin Institute of Technology (SAIT) commemorated the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a series of religious activities highlighted by a solemn Mass and a Marian procession.

The celebration opened with the praying of the Holy Rosary and the recitation of the Apostles’ Creed, followed by the traditional offering of flowers in honor of the Virgin Mary. During this part of the devotion, the Third Mystery of the Rosary was cited while flowers were laid at the center of the stage.

The highlight of the program was the Holy Mass presided over by Rev. Fr. Leonelex S. Miano, who underscored Mary’s role in salvation history. In his homily, he described God as “𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴” and emphasized Mary as a model of faith and humility. “𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘶𝘴,” Fr. Miano said, reminding the faithful that “𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘺. 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴: 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘺?”

As part of the public commemoration, a Marian parade was also held, beginning at the Valencia City Hall, passing through SAIT, and lead at the San Agustin Parish Church. School President, Sr. Teresita S. Sajelan, MCM, students and faculty showed their reverence by scattering flower petals on the Virgin Mary’s statue, a gesture symbolizing purity and devotion.

The celebration not only honored Mary’s birth but also reinforced the community’s Marian devotion, particularly among the youth. The faithful were reminded of Mary’s example of obedience and service, which, according to Fr. Miano, should guide Christians in their daily lives.

The events concluded in an atmosphere of solemnity and faith, reflecting SAIT’s students enduring devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Isang matagumpay na kulminasyon ng Buwan ng Wika sa San Agustin Institute of Technology

Isang makulay at makasaysayang araw ang naganap ngayong araw sa bulwagan ng San Agustin Institute of Technology nang idaos ang kulminasyon ng Buwan ng Wika. Sa temang “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa.” na nagtataguyod ng pagmamahal sa sariling wika at kultura, muling ipinamalas ng buong institusyon ang kanilang pagkakaisa at kasiglahan sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang paligsahan at pagtatanghal.

Lumahok sa pagdiriwang ang apat na departamento: Business, Social Work, Education, Midwifery, na nagsama-sama upang ipamalas ang galing, talento, at pagmamahal sa kulturang Pilipino.

Sa umaga, naging tampok ang masigla at makukulay na laro ng lahi, kung saan nagpakita ng kasipagan, palaro, at samahan ang bawat kalahok. Kasunod nito ay ang mala-pistang handog ng bawat departamento sa pamamagitan ng Pista sa Nayon, kung saan ipinakita ang samu’t saring putaheng Pilipino na kumakatawan sa iba’t ibang lugar sa bansa, isang patunay ng yaman ng ating tradisyon at lutuing bayan.

Pagsapit ng hapon, lalo pang nagningning ang pagdiriwang sa serye ng mga pagtatanghal tulad ng choral choir at mga katutubong sayaw na nagbigay-buhay sa kasaysayan at sining ng ating lahi. Ngunit higit na naging sentro ng kulminasyon ang paligsahang Ginoong Wika, kung saan ipinamalas ng apat na kandidato mula sa iba’t ibang departamento ang kanilang kagwapuhan, talento, at talino. Sa huli, itinanghal na Ginoong Wika 2025 si Sherwin Pumatong mula sa Department of Business, na umani ng masigabong palakpakan mula sa buong komunidad.

Ang buong kulminasyon ay nagsilbing paalala na ang wika at kultura ay hindi lamang alaala ng nakaraan, kundi patuloy na gabay sa pagkakaisa at pagkakakilanlan ng sambayanang Pilipino. Sa pagtatapos ng makulay na araw na ito, dala ng bawat isa ang aral na ang pag-ibig sa sariling wika ay tanda ng tunay na pagmamahal sa bayan.
