National Service Training Program Symposium:
Empowering Change for Sustainable Peace and Creation Care

On September 6, 2025, students from the National Service Training Program (NSTP)—Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) and the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) gathered at the St. Columban Arts Center for a symposium themed "From Crisis to Care: Building Sustainable Solutions, Inspiring Action for Peace with Creation."

The purpose of the event was to bring together students from various courses to discuss and explore sustainable solutions to compelling environmental and social issues. The theme highlighted the importance of caring for the planet and promoting peace in the face of crises.

The symposium started with inspiring opening remarks from Divine Grace Balayo, College of Education, Arts and Sciences (CEAS) Representative. This was followed by two esteemed speakers who shared their expertise and insights, inspiring students to take action.
In the first topic, Dr. Mary Ann S. Dagunan, PhD, delivered an engaging discussion on "Understanding the Crises: The Importance of Environmental Conservation." She highlighted the critical need for conservation and showed students just how serious the consequences of environmental damage can be. Dr. Dagunan's expertise provided a deeper understanding of the complex challenges we face.

Next, Sem. John Philip P. Palacios presented with an energizing talk on "Inspiring Action." He emphasized the importance of translating knowledge into tangible efforts. He encouraged students to become part of the solution, and his presentation served as a call to action, motivating attendees to make a positive impact in their communities.

This program underscored the importance of integrating service and training in the development of students, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to become responsible students and leaders. By fostering a sense of community and social responsibility, the symposium sought to empower students to make a positive impact in their communities. The knowledge and inspiration gained there were the first steps toward building a future where the KCC Community contributes to sustainable solutions and a more peaceful community.

The symposium shaped up to be a transformative experience, providing KCCians with valuable insights and opportunities for personal and professional growth. By coming together to explore solutions and inspire action, this event was poised to leave a lasting impact on both the participants and the communities they serve.

First Friday Mass Calls College Community to Accountability, Renewal, and Christ-Centered Living

This morning, at exactly 8:00 AM, the St. Columban Arts Center was filled with faith and reflection as the college community gathered for the celebration of the First Friday Mass,r presided by our School President, Rev. Fr. Richard Lachica, MAED. In his homily, Fr. Lachica emphasized accountability in all our actions as one united community and encouraged everyone to welcome new beginnings, reminding us that “there is always a first time” and that true transformation comes when our hearts are open and renewed. He also highlighted the central truth that Christ is the foundation of everything: all things were created through Him and for Him, and without Him, our world becomes empty. With Christ at the center, our lives gain true meaning and purpose, guiding us toward holiness and service.

Fr. Lachica further reminded us that academic excellence without faith is incomplete. He left the community with a meaningful challenge: Will you allow yourself to make new things in your life? As a Christ-centered community, we are invited to put Christ at the heart of our studies, teaching, and relationships,for only then can we truly live out our mission of educating and serving.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | Simula ng Pasko sa Setyembre: Ang Ber Months na Tradisyon ng mga Pilipino
𝘯𝘪 𝘑𝘰𝘺𝘭𝘺𝘯 𝘈𝘮𝘰𝘳

Para sa mga Pilipino, ang Pasko ay hindi lamang isang araw. Ito ay isang panahon, isang paglalakbay na nagsisimula sa sandaling magbago ang kalendaryo, at maging sa mga tao na alam na ang pagsisimula ng mga buwan na nagtatapos sa "-ber", Setyembre, Oktubre, Nobyembre, at Disyembre. Ito ang tinatawag na "BER months," at ang simula nito ay nagpapahiwatig na nagsisimula na ang pinakamahaba, masaya, at pinaka makulay na selebrasyon ng Pasko sa buong mundo.

Ang Pilipinas ang tanging bansa na nagdiriwang ng Pasko nang ganito kahaba. Bakit? Dahil para sa mga Pinoy, ang Pasko ay higit pa sa tradisyon—ito ay isang mahalagang bahagi ng kultura at pagkakakilanlan.

Sa simula pa lang ng Setyembre, mararamdaman na ang kakaibang pagbabago sa paligid. Ang mga tindahan ay unti-unti nang naglalabas ng mga palamuting pamasko. Mayroon ding kanya-kanyang mga ilaw na kumikinang, hindi mahalaga kung luma o bago, basta't nakasabit ang mga ito, na may kislap sa bawat tahanan. Ang mga kanta ni Jose Mari Chan, na siyang tinaguriang "Father of Philippine Christmas Music," ay muli nang naririnig sa radyo, sa mga internet, at sa bawat sulok ng kalsada. Sa bus, jeep, at maging sa mga grocery store, maririnig ang mga pamilyar na kanta na nagpapaalala na malapit na ang Pasko. Ang mga awiting ito ay hindi lamang pampa-aliw; nagsisilbi itong soundscape sa buong selebrasyon.

Kahit malayo pa ang Pasko, ang diwa ng pagbibigayan ay naroroon na. Sa mga tahanan, ang pagpaplano para sa Noche Buena at mga regalo ay nagsisimula na, dahil para sa mga Pinoy, ang paghahanda ay hindi lamang gawain, kundi isang sining na nagpapakita ng pag-asa at kaligayahan.

Ang pagiging malapit ng mga Pilipino sa pamilya at pananampalataya ang dalawang pangunahing dahilan kung bakit napakahalaga ng BER months. Ang mahabang pagdiriwang ay nagbibigay ng sapat na oras upang maghanda, magplano, at magbalik-tanaw. Ito ay pagkakataon para magkaisa ang pamilya, magkasama-sama sa simpleng mga bagay, at magbahagi ng pagmamahal. Hindi lang ito tungkol sa mga regalo o mga handa; ito ay tungkol sa paghihintay. Ang bawat araw na lumilipas sa BER months ay isang paalala na papalapit na ang pinakamahalagang araw—ang araw ng kapanganakan ni Hesus. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit malakas ang pananampalataya ng mga Pilipino at kung bakit mahalaga sa kanila ang Pasko.

Sa kabila ng mga pagsubok at hamon sa buhay, ang BER months ay nagsisilbing beacon of hope. Ang mga kumikinang na ilaw, ang masiglang musika, mga masasarap na pagkain, at ang diwa ng pag-asa ay nagpapaalala sa bawat Pilipino na may dahilan upang maging masaya.

Kaya sa ngayon, na maririnig natin ang isang awiting pamasko sa simulat-simula ng buwan ng Setyembre, huwag magtaka. Ito ang simula ng Paskong Pinoy—isang tradisyong patuloy na nagbibigay-liwanag, pag-asa, at nagpapalawak sa puso ng bawat Pilipino na nagpapatibay sa ating pagkakaisa at pagmamahal sa ating kultura.
