MAG-AARAL MULA UPHSI, SUMIKWAT NG GINTO SA BATANG PINOY 2025

Muling itinaas ng Team Iloilo City ang bandera ng lungsod matapos angkinin ang gintong medalya sa Recognized Team Poomsae – Cadet Division ng Batang Pinoy 2025 National Championships na ginanap nitong ika-27 ng Oktubre sa General Santos City.

Kabilang sa koponan si Phil Caleb T. Regalado, mag-aaral ng 8–Busay sa University of the Philippines High School in Iloilo (UPHSI), kasama sina Prinz Khyzyl Eufan at Anthony Planta, sa ilalim ng paggabay ni Coach Mark V. Pinggol.

Ipinamalas ng mga batang Ilonggo ang precision, power, rhythm at synchronization, na siyang mga pamantayan sa pag-iskor, na nagdala sa kanila sa pinakamataas na puwesto laban sa mga pambato mula sa iba’t ibang lungsod ng bansa.

Ayon kay Regalado, hindi naging madali ang kanilang paghahanda para sa kompetisyon, lalung-lalo na at siya ay may iniindang injury sa balakang.

“During training and the game, may injury ako sa hip pero ginpursigi ko gihapon. Instead of training to get it right, we trained so that we wouldn’t make the same mistake again,” ani niya.
(“Noong nag-eensayo po ako at sa mismong torneo, ako’y may iniindang pilay sa balakang ngunit ipinagpatuloy ko pa rin ang laban. Sa halip na mag-ensayo lamang para magawa nang tama, nag-ensayo kami upang hindi na maulit ang parehong pagkakamali.”)

Matapos ang tagumpay sa Batang Pinoy 2025, inaasahang muling sasabak si Regalado sa mga susunod na lokal at pambansang torneo, kabilang ang Iloilo City Meet, upang ipagpatuloy ang kanyang kampanya bilang isa sa mga batang kinatawan ng Iloilo sa larangan ng taekwondo.

Flashcards, reviewers, and cramming, the bell tolls, for the long-dreaded time has arrived: our midterms.

However, this is the perfect opportunity for us to shine, to prove that the late-night study sessions weren’t all for nothing. These midterms are our chance to show the culmination of our efforts over these past months.

So pack your pens, pencils, and correction tape; buy your blue books and green books; and always remember: Honor before Excellence.

Good luck and Padayon, Yupihay!

There are people who never ask to be remembered—to be commemorated, yet their presence is etched into the soul. They are the superheroes of society, wielding the power to turn confusion into clarity, curiosity into courage, and chaos into order. These people don’t just teach—they ignite, they rebuild, they believe.

Indeed, our teachers are our second parents. Much like a nurturing mother and an influential father, their support and direction have led us to where we are today. They are torches of change, lit by the flame of learning, that transforms fearful students into courageous souls. With their bright light, they have illuminated our dim paths, guiding us in our journey towards uncovering the unknown future. From the moment we've first stepped in those four corners up to the very instant we hold our diplomas, we'll remember how our dear mentors believed in us during the times where we couldn't even believe in ourselves.

The knowledge we have gained doesn't remain within those four walls—it extends beyond our dreams and decisions. We'll carry the wisdom our teachers passed onto us, utilizing it in whatever profession we'll land someday. Ink may fade, words may blur, but the wisdom and stories shared will continue to live on.

To the mentors whose words outlive the walls of the classroom—Happy Teachers’ Day, Ma’am Feaches Pearl Cabrobias, Sir John Barrios, Sir Martin Ryan Suamen, Sir Alfredo B. Diaz, and to all teachers!

A magnitude 6.9 earthquake jolted Cebu on September 30, 2025, at 9:59 p.m., with its tremors felt as far as Iloilo.

According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), the epicenter was located 17 kilometers northeast of Bogo City at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers.

PHIVOLCS initially measured the quake at magnitude 6.7 but later upgraded it to 6.9. The tectonic quake has since triggered around 100 aftershocks as of Wednesday morning.

When earthquakes strike, it is important to note that the tremors themselves rarely cause fatalities; rather, it is the aftermath—collapsing structures, landslides, and tsunamis—that pose the gravest risks.

This is why reinforcing preparedness, awareness and investing in resilient infrastructure are crucial to saving lives. Natural disasters serve as stark reminders of what happens when we ignore the warning signs—cracks in our system that are in urgent need of repair.

While long-term solutions take time, what can immediately save lives is access to the right help at the right moment.
