On November 27, 2025, a symposium with the theme “Adolescent Health Issues and Perspectives” was conducted at Laoac National High School’s 5th District Court. It was not merely an ordinary day — it was a moment when vision was translated into reality.

Every homeroom guidance officer from Grades 7 to 12 was encouraged to participate attentively in the event. Many students gathered at the venue, where they shared knowledge, articulated their thoughts, and expressed their opinions.

We would also like to acknowledge the presence of our resource speakers. Without them, we would not have been able to fully grasp the meaningful message of the symposium. They served as instruments in imparting proper s*xual education to the students — something that creates a long-lasting impact.

During the symposium, they discussed comprehensive s*xuality education, gender and s*x, and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Through these impactful and relevant topics, the students’ minds were enlightened and opened to the prevalent issues affecting adolescents today.

In addition, proper reproductive autonomy was also emphasized during the event — highlighting the importance of consent and rational decision-making. Statistics were also presented to support the topics with factual information and accurate data.

Moreover, the symposium created a supportive space where students felt encouraged to engage in meaningful conversations. By normalizing discussions on sensitive issues, the event helped remove the fear and hesitation often associated with topics like s*xuality and personal well-being. This openness allowed students to gain confidence in expressing themselves and seeking guidance when needed.

Most importantly, the event served as a reminder that adolescent health is a shared responsibility. Teachers, parents, guidance officers, and students must work hand in hand to build a community that supports informed choices and healthy perspectives. Through continued education, compassion, and awareness, the youth of today can grow into individuals who are not only knowledgeable but also responsible and empowered.

Getting closer to the youth through the words of God, showcasing students' potential in Physical Education, Music, and Health, and fostering students' sense of responsibility to learn values. These are the purposes Sir Job Tabelin Tabarnilla has set for himself when he got hired as a Senior High School teacher at Laoac National High School.

Sir Job is a married 26-year-old father of two. He earned a Bachelor of Secondary Education with a major in Physical Education, Health, and Music (PEHM) from Urdaneta City University, and on August 8, 2025, he officially began teaching at Laoac National High School.

“The course I took was parentally decided,” Sir Job shared in an interview. “I actually wanted to become a doctor, but due to a lack of economic access, I wasn’t able to pursue that path.”

Though teaching was not his first choice, fate had a different plan. During his Field Study (FS), he became deeply attached to the profession. “I got completely attached to my course because of the students’ sweetness, their company, and how they ease my stress. They bring me peace,” he said.

He wants to build stronger relationships with his students through faith, sharing the words of God, and helping the youth strengthen their spiritual ties. Additionally, he intended to establish a choir group to help students develop their singing abilities and a dance troupe that embraces a range of genres, allowing students to express themselves artistically.

"I get my inspiration, motivation, and protection against temptation by reading the Bible every day," he admitted in an interview. In addition to guiding his personal life, his faith helps him mentor his students both within and beyond the classroom.

Every teacher's journey begins differently, but Sir Job's began with a renewed sense of purpose, faith, and enthusiasm for teaching. From his dream of becoming a doctor to his current position as an educator, his story shows that destiny always leads one to where one is meant to be.

Immediate responses were taken after Laoac National High School felt a quake hours ago.

Students and teachers vacate their classrooms as fast as they could to prevent danger in case of aftershocks.

Through the fast action of SDRRMC coordinator, Donald L. Crispino, alarms were heard around the school signaling the students and teachers to immediately vacate their classrooms and offices.
