Para sa maraming Pilipino, ang pangarap na kaunlaran ay tila tubig. Mahalaga ito para sa kaligtasan, ngunit kapag hindi maayos na pinangasiwaan ay siyang mismong dahilan ng pagkalunod. Ang iminungkahing proyektong Pax Silica ay may potensyal bilang isang nakagiginhawang inumin, subalit ang pagpapatupad nito ay maaari ring magdulot ng matinding panganib sa suplay ng enerhiya at tubig.

Lubos na tumatagos ang kabalintunaang iyan sa mga dokumentaryong kagaya ng “Paraisong Uhaw” ni Kara David noong Abril 2010, na naglalahad ng kalagayan ng mga Pilipinong naglalakad ng ilang oras para lamang makakuha ng malinis na tubig na maiinom. Marumi man o maalat, ito ay itinuturing nilang biyaya. Isang paraiso raw ang Masbate, ngunit tigang ang lupa at uhaw ang mga tao.

Makalipas ang labing-anim na taon, noong Hulyo 2026, ipinalabas naman ang “Ibinasurang Paraiso.” Sa dokumentaryong ito, ipinakita ang mga Aeta sa Sitio Tibag, Subic, Zambales na nawalan ng tubig dahil sa tambakan ng basurang sumira sa kanilang lupain. Napilitan silang umasa na lamang sa tubig-ulan na sinasala pa para sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan.

Ngayon, ang parehong banta ay bumabalik sa mas malaking saklaw. Ang mga Aeta sa Capas, Tarlac ay nakikipaglaban upang pangalagaan ang kanilang mga lupain na pinagkukunan nila ng malinis na tubig at kabuhayan. May posibilidad na ang dating paraiso nila ay mawawalan ng tubig hindi dahil sa tagtuyot lamang, kundi dahil sa isang proyektong naglalayong makatulong sa kanila.

Sa unang sulyap, ang pangako ng Pax Silica ay tunay na kaakit-akit. Ang 4,000-akre na makabagong sentrong ito sa New Clark City ay naglalayong kumita ng US$40–70 bilyon na pamumuhunan at makalikha ng 130,000–190,000 na trabaho. Ayon kay President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., ito ay magtatayo ng isang ekosistemang nakatuon sa AI, magdadala ng dekalidad na trabaho, at magpabibilis sa kompetensya sa industriya ng bansa.

Habang mahalaga ang kaunlaran sa aspeto ng teknolohiya para sa isang bansa; mataas ang kapalit sa kalikasan ang Pax Silica. Ayon sa Philippine Daily Inquirer, ito ay mangangailangan ng 130 milyong litro ng tubig araw-araw, katumbas ng konsumo ng humigit-kumulang 600,000 kabahayan. Bilang paghahambing, tinatayang maaaring umabot sa 18.9 milyong litro kada araw ang tubig na ginagamit ng isang malaking AI facility para sa cooling, ayon sa Kalikasan People's Network for the Environment

Sa enerhiya naman, kailangan ng 3 GW na kuryente—halos 16% ng kasalukuyang kapasidad ng Luzon. Maaari rin nitong dagdagan ang pressure sa power grid, lalo na kung hindi sasabayan ng sapat na bagong kapasidad sa kuryente. Hindi dapat ipasa sa mga tahanan at maliliit na negosyo ang anomang gastos na dulot ng kakulangan sa paghahanda. Kailangang tugunan ng pamahalaan ang dagdag na pangangailangan sa enerhiya nang hindi naaapektuhan ang mga konsyumer na kasalukuyang nagtitiis sa mataas na bayarin at banta ng brownout.

Bukod sa usaping likas na yaman, umuusbong din ang mabibigat na usaping legal at pangkonstitusyon. Nag-iiwan ng duda kung kakailanganin ba ng mga pagbabago sa Saligang Batas o paglikha ng mga espesyal na batas upang maibigay ang ninanais na pribilehiyo ng mga dayuhang mamumuhunan. Anomang pagsubok na baguhin ang mga probisyon ukol sa pambansang patrimonya ay dapat bantayan nang mahigpit. Hindi dapat ipagpalit ang integridad ng Konstitusyon para lamang sa mga banyagang interes.

Dapat ding suriin kung hindi ba malalabag ang probisyon ng 1987 Constitution ukol sa pambansang soberanya at kontrol sa lupain at imprastraktura. Ang pagkakaloob ng napakalawak na lupa sa mga dayuhan ay nagpapakita ng kawalan ng proteksyon sa ating soberanya. Kailangang tiyakin na hindi magiging dahilan ang proyektong ito upang magkaroon ng extraterritorial immunity o mga espesyal na legal na pribilehiyo ang mga banyagang kumpanya. Ang batas ng Pilipinas ay dapat manatiling nangunguna sa loob ng sarili nitong teritoryo.

Hindi sapat na sabihin ng Palasyo na makapagdagdag ito ng trabaho at magkapagpapalago sa ekonomiya. Ang tunay na pambansang industriyalisasyon ay hindi nagmumula sa pagiging tagaipon lamang ng mga kasangkapan o trabaho para sa mga dayuhan. Kailangan ng buong kalinawan, masusing pag-aaral sa epekto sa kalikasan, at pampublikong konsultasyon sa mga batas na maaapektuhan. Hangga't sarado ang mga pinto ng talakayan sa mga kritikal na detalye, mananatiling kaduda-duda ang pakay ng proyektong ito.

Kahit na parang isang basong may alok na pangarap ang Pax Silica para sa Pilipinas, mahalagang kilalanin ang iba't ibang epekto nito sa bansa. Hindi maitatayo ang mga pangarap para sa kinabukasan sa ibabaw ng mga realidad sa kasalukuyan na pinababayaan lamang. Ang mga pangako ay dapat na patunayan, hindi basta-bastang inumin bago tuluyang malunod ang mga Pilipino.

𝘾𝙊𝙇𝙐𝙈𝙉 | 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗪𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲

For years, Pisay scholars solved complex word problems with ease, only to face their hardest daily math problem at the cash register against relentless inflation. Recently, the Philippine Science High School System (PSHSS) unveiled its most generous scholarship expansion in years. Beginning School Year 2027-2028, scholars will receive an ₱8,000 monthly stipend, ₱10,000 research grants, transportation subsidies, internship allowances, uniform support, and laptops for incoming freshmen. It delivers the essential relief that generations of Pisay scholars have yearned for. However, while we celebrate this milestone, the reform also fails to recognize its delay in implementation, which has failed to address the skyrocketing real-world cost of basic living. However, for the current Grade 12 batch, its announcement is an uncomfortable irony. The benefits we needed are arriving just in time for us to graduate without them. Future generations deserve this support, so did we.

For Filipino STEM students, the expansion is a necessary investment, but its implementation timeline overlooked that current and graduating scholars have experienced the same rising costs, demanding academic requirements, and opportunity-related expenses that prompted the need for better support in the first place. Future generations definitely deserve the expansion, and so do the current and previous generations.

That hollow satisfaction stings even more because the enhanced scholarship package is not just some charity, but a systemic correction. Full scholars used to receive ₱4,000 monthly, Partial 1 scholars ₱3,500, Partial 2 scholars ₱2,500, and Partial 3 scholars only ₱500—the lowest tier that still bore the heaviest burden. According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), inflation averaged 1.4% in 2015 and climbed to 3.2% in 2024. A scholarship must be as progressive as the economy and the scholars it hopes to nurture. A ₱500 stipend several years ago and the same ₱500 stipend today are not economically equivalent. For an average Pisay scholar, inflation is a watermark in their daily transactions: transportation, food, school supplies, printing, project materials, and other expenses that accumulate throughout the academic year. A fixed scholarship amount may provide a certain level of support, but its purchasing power diminishes as prices climb higher.

Furthermore, the cost of being a Pisay scholar extends beyond staying enrolled. Pisay scholars are expected to maintain their “cream of the crop status” and to excel beyond expectations. However, opportunities to excel are limited due to the lack of funds and resources to support us scholars. Some competitions, academic and research conferences, internships, training programs, and activities are student-funded and are only partially supported by the school. Humanities competitions, for example, are not given an equal amount of institutional and financial support by the PSHSS, leading student participants to take unexcused absences and fund themselves to join these activities. This creates a less visible form of inequality. Two scholars may have access to the same classroom, laboratory, and other academic facilities and resources, but not the same economic capacity and institutional support to hone and showcase their abilities outside the classroom.

One scholar may freely participate in a competition or pursue a more ambitious research project; another may hesitate because of the additional financial burden. For an institution built around science, technology, research, and innovation, this matters deeply. When financial constraints determine who can participate, the problem is no longer simply affordability—it is access to opportunity. They recognize that meaningful STEM education requires resources beyond tuition.

My batch may graduate before the ₱8,000 stipend and expanded benefits are available to us; However, we were still scholars navigating the same institution, the same demanding curriculum, and the same financial pressures. We had no choice but to make the most of what we had. Perhaps in another life, we could have maximized the luxuries of being a Pisay scholar without worrying about affordability and stagnant scholarship benefits.

Needless to say, the new scholarship package should be celebrated, not criticized. It must be openly welcomed and endorsed for further advancements. I am genuinely happy that future Pisay scholars will have greater support. I hope they can participate more freely in research, competitions, internships, and other opportunities without having to deliberate whether they can afford them.

Transitional assistance for SY 2026-2027 must be implemented to support need-based research grants, transportation assistance, competition and conference subsidies, or other targeted financial support. Because as the future generations will receive enhanced scholarship benefits, so must we who experienced the same dragging inflation and price hikes. More significantly, the scholarship package should be periodically reviewed according to actual student expenses and inflation, rather than remaining fixed until financial pressures become impossible to ignore. No Pisay scholar must have to choose between financial security and the opportunities that could shape their future.

To ensure a safer and more secure learning environment, the Philippine Science High School - SOCCSKSARGEN Region Campus in Koronadal City (PSHS-SRC in KC) has implemented stricter security protocols upon campus entry. The school strictly prohibits the bringing of sharp metal objects and other hazardous items that may pose a threat to the safety and security of the community.

Security measures emphasize the significance of consistent safety checks and cooperation between the school and home, focusing on preventing prohibited and dangerous items from entering campus grounds. Bag checks are conducted at the guard house for extern scholars before entry, while baggage of intern scholars is inspected at the dormitory.

"On Sundays, during dorm in, we ask the interns to line up properly and explain that their bags and luggage will be checked as part of the dormitory's safety and security procedures. We inspect the students' belongings in their presence, check for any prohibited or unauthorized items, document and confiscate any items found, and explain the action taken," Dormitory Manager Jamby V. Borres said.

Borres shared that the school conducts unannounced bag and cabinet inspections when deemed necessary in accordance with the rules and regulations. Confiscated items are kept in a safe, secured steel cabinet to prevent public or exposed access, ensuring proper safekeeping until the necessary action has been taken.

Furthermore, a screening process is implemented to ensure that every individual entering the campus is properly identified and cleared for entry without causing unnecessary delays at the gate.

"For scholars, we log their name, year, section, date, and time of entry, while visitors must provide their name, purpose, address, plate number, contact number, and signature. To ensure accuracy, we rely on visual verification using school IDs or valid government IDs, actively cross-checking their purpose and contact details before letting them in," Security Guard Samuel M. Ado explained.

He also noted that vehicle inspection is no longer conducted as it falls outside the scope of their security measures. Instead, car passes and visitor stickers serve as the primary basis for allowing parents and visitors to enter the campus.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to check their children's bags to ensure no dangerous items are brought to campus. Visitors are likewise urged to comply with the institution's security protocols.

Implementation of these safety measures relies heavily on the cooperation of the entire school community, helping PSHS-SRC in KC maintain a secure environment where scholars can learn and participate comfortably.

Following the tremor yesterday, dormitory managers, in collaboration with DRRM Head Jefrey M. Bagasbas, conducted an earthquake drill for interns at around 7:30 PM the same day.

The drill proved timely when another earthquake struck at 5:41 AM the following morning, with an estimated magnitude of 5.6.

No casualties or major infrastructure damage have been reported. Classes resumed as scheduled, and no suspensions were implemented. PHIVOLCS continues to advise the public to stay alert for possible aftershocks and to follow official announcements.

Some scholars voiced concerns over the evacuation process, describing it as chaotic and unorganized. Others observed that some participants were not taking the drill seriously or were preoccupied with other matters. Bagasbas provided a raw assessment: "We will evaluate and advise to do better. There is a lot of room for improvement." Additional concerns included excessive noise, disorganization, and delayed headcounts.

Although some may have wished for class suspensions, the recent events were an immediate test of the school's safety and security protocols. Scholars are advised to take drills seriously, as the next earthquake will not give us time to practice.

𝙇𝙄𝙏𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙍𝙔 | 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗹, 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿

You will always find your way to the light.

Even when the sky is heavy with clouds, the sun's rays still seep through, waiting. It asks no flower to bloom before its season, nor does it withhold its warmth from those still gathering strength within the earth. There is no urgency in the sunflower's becoming — it does not chase the light in desperation; it simply grows, steadfast and patient, until the morning arrives.

Mirasol — ang araw ay naghihintay na sa iyong pagbukadkad.

And bloom, it does. Sa lungsod ng Koronadal, isang pagsibol ang natunghayan nang nakilala ang Philippine Science High School – SOCCSKSARGEN Region Campus in Koronadal City (PSHS-SRC in KC) bilang top 4 performing campus sa UPCAT 2026. Higit pa sa isang parangal, ito ay isang bunga ng mga gabing mga reviewer ang kaharap, ang paggising nang maaga upang pumunta sa review center, at ang pag-aaral upang maging karapat-dapat na maging tagapaglingkod ng bayan.

Recognition only shows the success after the storm: a single headline, a published list, a rank beside a school's name. Yet no achievement is ever born overnight. It is rooted firmly in reviewer pages thinned by countless turns, in mornings that begin before the sun has risen, and in the quiet faith that no season of becoming is ever wasted. By the time the first light reaches the petals, the roots have already endured darkness.

Sa paglipas ng mga panahon, maraming iskolar na ang nag-iwan ng kanilang marka sa kabuuan ng paaralan, nagpakitang-gilas ng kani-kaniyang kagalingan, at nabuo ang isang kulturang hindi nasisiyahan sa "ayos na 'yan" ang nakaugalian, kundi patuloy na naghahangad ng higit pa para sa paaralan at para sa bayan. Excellence, after all, is never inherited; it is cultivated — passed from one generation of scholars to the next until it becomes the very language a community speaks.

Such is the legacy they leave behind: a field where every bloom becomes proof that another can flourish. No flower claims the sun for itself. It simply blooms, and in doing so, reminds the field that spring is possible. So it is with every scholar who came before. Their achievements do not mark the end of a journey, but the quiet beginning of another, inviting those who follow to believe that the light has always been waiting.

Bagama’t malaking karangalan ang maging kasapi nito, ang pagkilalang ito ay unang pahina pa lamang ng susunod pang pinagsisikapang mga kabanata. May mga panibagong kabataang nagpupursige upang tahakin ang parehong landas na nalampasan na ng mga naunang iskolar. May mga kabataang may parehong paninindigan, hawak ang pag-asa para sa kinabukasan, at dala-dala ang apoy para sa araw na naghihintay na lamang upang masilayan ang mga ito.

To pursue knowledge is to choose a path that often asks for endurance before triumph. It is in the discipline of ordinary days that extraordinary futures are steadily built.

Sa bawat pagsusulit: oras, utak, at dedikasyon ang namamayani sa bawat mag-aaral. Maginhawang kinabukasan ang nagsisilbing apoy ng mga iskolar upang patuloy na tawirin ang matarik na daanang sumasabay sa indayog ng mga responsibilidad na kaakibat ng kanilang pagiging iskolar.

Among fields of countless flowers, the sunflower is remembered for its unwavering instinct to face the sun. It is this quiet constancy that has become a fitting emblem for the Iskolar ng Bayan — not because scholars never falter, but because, even amid uncertainty, they continue to orient themselves toward purpose.

Mirasol ang siyang kilalang sumasagisag sa mga iskolar ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, hindi dahil sa pang-anyong labas, kundi dahil tulad ng mga mirasol, ang bawat iskolar na hinuhubog ay may sariling pagsibol. Tulad ng mga mirasol, ang bawat iskolar ay dumaraan sa proseso ng pagtubo, paghihintay, at pamumukadkad.

May mga gabing sobra pa sa karaniwang oras ng pahinga ang sinasakripisyo ng mga iskolar — mga gabing pakikipagbuno sa mga aralin at paghahanda sa pagsusulit na susukatin ang kanilang kahandaan upang dalhin ang karangalan ng paaralan kasama nila. May mga umagang hindi lamang ang haring araw ang sasalubong, kundi ang paalala sa kanilang pananagutan bilang mga iskolar ng institusyon.

There is grace in becoming at the pace your own season allows.

Not every season is meant for blooming. Some are meant for taking root, for gathering the quiet strength that no eye can measure and no accolade can recognize. There will be days when progress feels impossibly slow, when the sky remains overcast despite every earnest effort, and when the dawn seems farther away than it did yesterday. Every moment spent growing beneath the surface is no less part of the bloom than the day the petals finally unfold.

Maaaring magpahinga muna sa mga unos, o yumuko kung masakit ang sinag ng araw, dahil banayad man ang progreso, mamumukadkad pa rin ang isang mirasol na niyayakap nang paunti-unti ang init. Mapagpalaya ang pag-abot ng edukasyon, sapagkat ito ay isang sining ng pagsibol sa kinabukasang balang araw ay mamumukadkad para sa lipunan. Sabi nga ni Jose Rizal, "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan."

Habang ipinagdiriwang ng PSHS-SRC in KC ang karangalang ipinagkaloob sa mga nararapat, nawa’y manatiling buhay ang paniniwalang marami pang kuwento ang nakalaan para sa istoryang nagsisimula pa lamang. Sa mga UPCAT takers ngayong taon, nawa'y magsilbing inspirasyon ang mirasol sa pagsimula ng inyong pagsibol, hindi lamang bilang isang Iskolar ng Bayan, kundi dahil ang bawat indibidwal ay may mga kuwentong kahusayang maaaring magsimula sa inyo.

May every UPCAT taker remember that acceptance is not the only measure of success; the courage to begin, the resilience to continue, and the humility to grow are triumphs in themselves. Like the mirasol, continue turning toward the light — even when the skies are overcast, even when the season feels like an eternity.

Some flowers bloom early. Others bloom when the world needs them most. Either way, every sunflower carries within it the promise of dawn. It does not fear the dark, because somewhere beyond the horizon, the light is already on its way.

Even the longest night cannot bargain with the morning. Daybreak always arrives on its own time, and the light will always know the names of those who never stop reaching for it.

"At a time when misinformation spreads faster than facts and artificial intelligence can produce convincing falsehoods in seconds, campus journalism has become more than a student activity — it is a democratic necessity and a public service.

If people want an informed campus, we must first protect the people committed to informing it. The freedom to write is inseparable from the freedom to think, to question, and to hold institutions accountable.

Journalism has never existed to serve power. It exists to serve the public.

And every meaningful democracy begins by protecting the right to write."
