𝗧𝗼 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱

To the fathers with calloused hands,
Who work and dream, who understand—
You’ve built a life on love and sweat,
A quiet strength we won’t forget.

To the stepdads who chose to stay,
Who showed up strong, day after day—
Though not by blood, you earned your name,
A father’s heart, all just the same.

To single moms who rise each dawn,
With every doubt and fear withdrawn—
You played both parts, gave all you had,
The love of mom, the heart of dad.

To titos who became the guide,
Who stood like fathers by our side—
With lessons, laughs, a steady voice,
You were the anchor, not by choice—
But by the love you freely gave,
You helped us all grow strong and brave.

To grandpas too, with silver hair,
Who filled the gaps with patient care—
You are the roots beneath our tree,
A father still, eternally.

So here’s to all who’ve stood so tall,
Who answered every need and call.
You shaped our lives in countless ways,
With love that lights our darkest days.

Not just a title, but a role,
That shapes the heart, that shapes the soul.
No matter how you came to be,
Your love has shaped our history.

Happy Father’s Day
to every man and woman
who chose to father
with love.

Five dedicated staff of South Quill, proudly marched as part of Batch 2025 during Southland College's 15th Commencement Exercises held at the SC Trapezium on June 13.

The graduates include Lyka Balbaguio, Associate Editor; Karl Iverson Caturan, Chief Cartoonist and Layout Artist; Ana Marie Ensipido, Feature and Literary Writer; Danica Legaje, Feature and Literary Editor; and Precious Magsico, Community and Alumni Writer.

Beyond their contributions to campus journalism, the five were also honored during the annual Awards Day held on May 16, where they were each recognized as 𝑄𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝐴𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑒𝑠 — a distinction given to outstanding student journalists.

Additionally, Caturan received the 𝑆𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑜𝑟 𝑆𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑌𝑒𝑎𝑟 award in recognition of his exemplary performance in both academic and extracurricular pursuits. Ensipido was also honored with the 𝐼𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝐴𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑑 for her service as SSG Treasurer during the academic year. Furthermore, Magsico was named an 𝑂𝑢𝑡𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐶𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝐴𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑒 for her significant contributions to the school’s cultural programs and activities.

In an interview about her journey with the publication, Magsico reflected on her growth: “Aside from developing my technical skills, being part of the publication team taught me how to navigate the line between truth and misinformation. In this era, especially when information is often unreliable, we, as members of the publication team, carry the heavy responsibility of delivering accurate and unbiased content. Over the past three years, I’ve grown not just to love the idea of being part of the team, but to genuinely appreciate the craft we create together.”

Their graduation marks not only the culmination of years of hard work and service but also leaves behind a legacy of excellence within South Quill—inspiring the next wave of campus journalists.

From crafting campus stories to stepping into life’s larger narratives, these five now turn to broader pages—ready to write bolder, brighter stories beyond the bylines they once called home.
