“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘦.” — Juliette Lewis

In today’s modern age, everyone faces challenges — some emerge victorious, while others pay with their lives. Su***de remains one of the most crucial yet least addressed issues in our society. It is not only a personal tragedy but also a reflection of our collective failure to respond to mental health struggles with urgency, compassion, and understanding.

It is a painful reality that leaves behind broken hearts and unanswered questions.

The silence surrounding su***de is, perhaps, its greatest weapon. Choosing isolation in times of hardship does not heal — it only deepens despair. Many who silently endure mental health struggles fear being judged as “𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬” and come to believe that ending their life is the only reasonable solution.

This harmful mindset must not be normalized, especially among the youth. Schools, workplaces, and communities must be proactive in educating people about the warning signs and signals, so that timely intervention and support can be provided. While su***de continues to claim lives, prevention is possible.

We must remain attentive, even to those who do not openly show signs of struggle.

Communication and compassion are vital. Raising awareness through education, social media, and the guidance of professionals can foster a positive environment where individuals feel safe to seek help and comfort. In the end, su***de is never the answer. There are many ways to fight against despair, and prevention remains the strongest tool we have.

No life deserves to be dismissed, overlooked, or treated as insignificant. Every person is born with worth, purpose, and meaning. Together, let us build a safe and compassionate world where every life truly matters. Always remember: prevention is possible, and hope is powerful.

𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱!

On September 9th, the Provincial Government of Capiz, in partnership with the Provincial Library, brought the “𝘋𝘢𝘭𝘪, 𝘔𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘢 𝘒𝘪𝘵𝘢 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮” to the Municipality of Ivisan, held in front of the Ivisan Municipal Museum.

The featured story, “𝘗𝘶𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘜𝘴𝘰𝘨,” sparked curiosity among children as the storyteller asked if they believed that negative energy or evil spirits cause sickness. The session explained how this belief ties to the story, while reminding everyone that although pamahiin are part of culture, old practices like using saliva to ward off usog are unhygienic and should no longer be followed.

Blending fun storytelling with meaningful lessons, the activity nurtured a love for reading while guiding children to reflect on traditions and embrace healthier practices.

Maybe sadness isn’t a foreign feeling to you—but despair? Distress? Depression? Those are far heavier. For many young people, these aren’t just fleeting moods—they are chains that suffocate and bind. A rising number of youths are walking this torturous path, calling themselves “𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩–𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵.”

When we speak of a mental health crisis, it must not be reduced to a slogan. Behind it are unseen wounds — stress that corrodes daily life and pain that eats away at hope. The consequences are not small; they are destructive, global, and sometimes permanent. This is not tomorrow’s issue — 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗼𝘄.

Alarming statistics confirm the urgency. Depression, anxiety, and self-harm have skyrocketed, intensified by the pandemic and unforgiving social pressures. Economist David Blanchflower put it bluntly: “𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦.” His words echo a truth we can no longer ignore — mental health is collapsing, and our response has been too slow.

This neglect has deadly costs. According to the World Health Organization, su***de is now the leading cause of death among 15–29-year-olds worldwide. Left untreated, depression and anxiety devastate not just academic performance, but relationships, physical health, and entire futures. To look away is to accept this loss of life.

𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Schools must integrate mental health education. Communities must expand access to competent care. Governments must prioritize funding and policies that protect the young. And each of us, in our own circles, must fight the stigma that keeps people from seeking help.

Life will always bring challenges, but despair should never feel like the only answer. A listening ear, a helping hand, a genuine conversation — these small acts can save lives. This crisis demands urgency, compassion, and action. Mental health is not secondary — it is survival. And survival is a fight we must all take part in.

Challenges are not forever. And when we step back, we might realize, life isn’t so bad after all.

Every September, we celebrate National Science Month to recognize how science and technology improve our lives and shape our future. Science is not confined to laboratories or textbooks — it is in the gadgets we use, the medicine we take, the food we eat, and the environment we protect.

This celebration reminds us that science is the foundation of progress and a guide toward sustainable development.

Did you know? Most of us think that trees are the main source of oxygen, but scientists estimate that about 50–80% of Earth’s oxygen actually comes from the oceans. Tiny marine organisms such as plankton, algae, and seaweed perform photosynthesis, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. In fact, one microscopic plankton called Prochlorococcus is so abundant that it produces roughly one out of every five breaths we take!

These small but powerful organisms play a vital role in sustaining life on Earth.

Discoveries like this remind us how amazing science can be. As we celebrate this month through experiments, exhibits, and activities, let us keep exploring and using science as a tool for positive change.

A single word can spark a dream, a single sentence can open a world, and a single book can change a life. Literacy is not just about letters on paper — it is about unlocking doors to opportunity, dignity, and freedom. Without it, voices are silenced and with it, people discover their power to learn, to question, and to lead.

In today’s fast-paced digital age, literacy stretches beyond reading and writing. It means navigating online spaces responsibly, analyzing information critically, and understanding the stories that shape our communities. A literate society is not only informed but also empowered to combat ignorance, inequality, and injustice.

This International Literacy Day, let us go further than celebration. Let us act. Share a book. Teach a skill and support a learner. In doing so, we honor the promise of a future where literacy is not a privilege for some, but a right for all — where every person has the chance to read the world and, ultimately, to rewrite it. After all, when we read — 𝒘𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆.

Every 8th of September, the Catholic Church joyfully celebrates the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary — more lovingly known as Mama Mary. Her birth is a reminder of God’s great plan of salvation, for she was chosen to be the Mother of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

The day is not just about remembering her birth but also about honoring her role in bringing light, hope, and love into the world. Mama Mary’s life of humility, obedience, and faith continues to inspire millions of people to draw closer to God and live with compassion.

In today’s world, our phones feel like a part of us — always within reach, always calling for attention. It almost seemed like it has become an extension of ourselves — but at what cost? While they promise connection and convenience, they also capture hours of our lives without us even noticing. According to studies, the average person spending over four hours a day glued to a screen. But why is it so hard to look away? The answer lies in the brain — and the invisible pull of digital addiction.

Studies reveal that every notification, message, or video can trigger a dopamine rush—the brain’s “𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭-𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥” chemical. This creates a reward loop that keeps us coming back for more, much like addictive substances. Without realizing it, people lose countless hours to scrolling, watching, gaming, and chatting, all while convincing themselves it’s just “𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴.”

While smartphones, tablets, and computers can be incredibly useful, compulsive use can interfere with work, school, and relationships. Spending more time on social media or gaming than interacting with real people or repeatedly checking texts, emails, or apps despite negative consequences — the effects go beyond distraction. 𝗜𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸, 𝗮𝗰𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁.

Yes, our gadgets make life easier, but the key is balance. Used with discipline, they are helpful. Used without control, they become chains.

So, ask yourself: are you still scrolling? Maybe it’s time to look up, step outside, and reconnect with the real world. As philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once said, “𝘔𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦.” Don’t let screens hold you captive. Freedom and true happiness exist outside the glow of our phones.

Amid the chatter of students and the rush of everyday life at Ivisan National High School, there is one corner that has remained constant for decades — the small store run by Mr. Ospicio Villanueva. At the age of 62, and with 30 years of service behind his counter, his store has become a trusted corner and a silent witness to generations of learners who have passed through the school’s gates.

This small business has not only been the primary source of his family’s daily needs, but also a gateway of opportunity for his children’s future. With pride in his voice and a gentle smile plastered across his face, Mr. Villanueva shared, “𝘛𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘥 𝘴𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘩𝘰 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘪𝘯𝘪, 𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘬𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘢 𝘬𝘰 𝘢𝘬𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘢.”

His store is not just a simple stand of livelihood, but it is a store built with Mr. Villanueva’s sweat, love, and sacrifice for his family.
