Ang National Day of Protest ay isang makasaysayang araw sa Pilipinas tuwing ika-21 ng Setyembre. Ito’y ginugunita bilang simbolo ng paglaban ng mamamayang Pilipino sa pang-aabuso ng kapangyarihan at katiwalian ng pamahalaan. Idineklara ito noong taong 2017 sa pamamagitan ng Proclamation No. 319 na nilagdaan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte. Ang nasabing araw ay anibersaryo ng pagdedeklara ng Batas Militar ni Ferdinand Marcos noong 1972. Ang Martial Law ay panahon ng matinding paglabag sa karapatang pantao. Dahil dito, ang National Day of Protest ay nagsisilbing paalala na hindi dapat maulit ang ganoong kalagayan ng bansa.

Tuwing National Day of Protest, iba’t ibang sektor ng lipunan gaya ng mga estudyante, manggagawa, simbahan, at iba pa ang nagsasagawa ng mga kilos-protesta sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng bansa. Sa pamamagitan nito, kanilang inilalahad ang panawagan para sa pagtatanggol ng karapatang pantao, paglaban sa katiwalian, at paniningil ng pananagutan mula sa mga nasa kapangyarihan.

Hanggang sa kasalukuyan, nananatiling mahalaga ang National Day of Protest. Ngayong taong 2025, ginanap ang malakihang protesta na tinawag na Trillion Peso March bilang tugon sa umano’y katiwalian sa mga proyektong imprastruktura. Muling ipinakita ng mga Pilipino ang kanilang tapang at pagkakaisa sa pagtutol sa maling pamamalakad ng pamahalaan. Ito ang patunay na sa kabila ng pang-aabuso at hamon, nananatiling buhay ang diwa ng paglaban para sa bayan.

Yesterday, September 20, 2025, a group of 'top secret agents' met up at CNU-ILS Building for the PITCHCON 2025 to Decode the secrets of Marketing and Press Relations with the theme: Decode the code, analyze, access, activate.

During this informative, yet very engaging program, AITnians truly graced the floor with their liveliness, energy, and enthusiasm. Joined by 7 other schools namely: UC-PRI, Apas NHS, STEC, Minglanilla Science High, Abellana NHS, USJ-R, and Talisay City NHS. Right at that moment, the 4th Pitchcon became a bright ray of sun for a day. However, Pitchcon wasn't just all about games, it was about strategizing, cooperating and most importantly: Engagement.

With the event's continuous flow of activities, attendees were alive, alert, awake and very enthusiastic! But amidst all the games and prizes won, this year's Pitchcon also gave the attendees a first-look overview of what being a MarCommista is—with Mr. Ray JC Bellen, a pioneering graduate from the Integrated Marketing Communication and Press Relation (IMCP) Program, and alumn at Cebu Normal University, clarity was then given to students of what IMCP really is. Mr. Bellen during his talk highlighted that in the real world of work, one's creativity is one's currency. Upon the 2nd half of the 'Top Secret meet up of agents', the event was also graced by Mr. Matthew Andrew O. Ortoño, a part of the Marketing Staff at The Freeman and his witty integration of rocketship parts and correlating it to executing missions. He further articulated that 'a project's blueprint is one's idea, and the ex*****on is it's engine.' in this sense, Mr. Ortoño gave knowledge about analytics and took The Freeman's program: ProgreCebu as an example later on his discussion. With this, Mr. Ortoño provided a clear view of what analytics is and how it greatly impacts engagement of a business product. Furthermore during his talk about how campaigns shape a business, one of the many quotes that was shared during the event, Mr. Ortoño's 'Great campaigns don't just sell, they inspire, connect, and captivate.' struck the students with such deep intensity that it caused rounds of applause from the attendees.

As the event progressed later in the afternoon, the ILS building was filled with laughter, enjoyment, and pure and utter camaraderie shared between the 12th graders spanning across 8 schools. The games and icebreakers were surely one to remember, thanks to the PitchCon IV facilitators, and attendees alike. It was, truly, undeniable that AITnians took their confidence and jolliness to the event, as it was evident throughout the entirety of the event. AITnians brought with them the sunshine, and spread them wide across the schools they engaged with, befriended, and maybe even exchanged profiles with. But nonetheless, not only has the event taught 12th graders to be icons in their own special way, it taught them to be creative, to strategize, and most importantly: to socialize, engage, and befriend. It is this specific code and lesson that AITnian attendees have decoded, analyzed, accessed, and activated.

The Men’s and Women’s Basketball Teams of the Advance Institute of Technology battled fiercely in the District Meet 2025 held at Pajo Barangay Gym on September 11, 2025. The games were filled with grit, determination, and back-and-forth action, showcasing the Titans’ indomitable spirit despite falling short of victory.

It was a tough outing for the Titans, who had only a few days of training. From the first whistle to the final buzzer, the AITians fought with perseverance, pride, and unbreakable teamwork. The battle may not have gone in their favor, but the Titans proved that victory isn’t always measured on the scoreboard.

“It was really challenging. We gave our best, but we need more teamwork and trust in each other. We’ll improve and come back stronger,” Morata shared.

The men’s squad battled tirelessly, never letting their energy waver, while the women’s team showcased quick ball movement, speed, and solid defense that kept the crowd on its feet. Even against sturdy competitors, the Titans proved they belong on the court.

After the game, AIT head coach Roniel Garzano reflected on the team’s struggles.

“We lacked communication inside the court, and that cost us the game. But this is a learning experience, and we will definitely do better next time,” he said.

Despite the loss, the Titans showed resilience and promise. With improved communication and teamwork, both squads are determined to rise stronger in their upcoming matches.

On a sunny morning, each player represented their school in the District Meet 2025 Billiard Boys and Girls 8-Ball Category held at Dod’s Billiard Hall, Sangi New Road, Lapu-Lapu City on September 9. The Advance Institute of Technology (AIT) proudly finished with a Silver Medal through Rodgen Tumulak and a Bronze Medal through Blezel Ann Casia. Meanwhile, Gillian Cloey Carba and Al Cedric Reyes also showcased fantastic skills on the billiard table. Although they did not secure a ticket to the Unit Meet in the 8-Ball Category, the AIT community remains proud of their representation in the District Meet.

The first boys’ match was between AIT and Pusok. From the very start, the game was intense, with both players showing determination. AIT dominated with a 4–0 victory. On the other hand, Reyes had a difficult time scoring against the strong skills of the Pusok player. Still, he managed to fight back, though the game ended 4–3 in favor of Pusok.

In the girls’ category, Casia first faced an opponent from Pusok NHS. She secured a two-round advantage, but a missed hit on the 8-ball gave her opponent a chance to recover, tying the score at 2–2. Determined to win, Casia displayed impressive skills and eventually sealed the match at 4–2. Next, Carba played against Pajo NHS, showing her skills and giving a good fight. Casia later faced Pajo’s top player, who dominated the game 3–0, but Casia still secured a Bronze Medal for AIT.

In the second round of the boys’ games, Reyes faced Pusok once again, while Tumulak entered the semifinals against ALC. The match was thrilling, with every shot making the crowd hold their breath. Tumulak delivered a powerful performance, winning with a 4–0 sweep over ALC.

The championship round brought even more excitement as both players showcased patience and incredible skills. However, destiny favored ALC, who claimed the gold with a 4–1 victory, leaving Tumulak with a proud Silver Medal finish.

The AIT players, together with their coach Sir Carrel Alquiza, showed impressive teamwork and the true spirit of an AITian in every match. Reyes, Tumulak, Casia, and Carba will advance to the next challenge in the 9-Ball Category, determined to give their best in hopes of qualifying for the Unit Meet. They continue to carry with them the true heart of an AITian.

LAPU-LAPU, Philippines — Nagpakitang-gilas ang mga atleta ng Advance Institute of Technology (AIT) sa District Taekwondo Tournament na ginanap sa Pajo National High School, Lapu-Lapu City noong Setyembre 11–12, 2025.

Dalawang gintong medalya ang naiuwi nina Timothy James Albaño at Sabrinnah Fae Bolambao sa Poomsae: Mixed Pair Taekwondo. Ang Poomsae ay isang uri ng Taekwondo na binubuo ng serye ng mga galaw sa pagtatanggol at pag-atake, kalakip ang malalakas na sigaw o chants na nagbibigay-diin sa disiplina at lakas.

Sabay na pumasok sa entablado sina Timothy at Sabrinnah at magalang na nagbigay-pugay sa mga hurado. Mula sa unang galaw hanggang huling sipa, ipinamalas nila ang pulido at sabayang routine na animo’y iisang katawan lamang na kumikilos. Bunga ng kanilang matinding pagsasanay, nakamit nila ang mataas na puntos at nagtapos sa isang magalang na pagbati na sinalubong ng hiyawan at palakpakan mula sa mga manonood.

Matapos ang tagumpay, agad namang bumalik sa ensayo ang dalawa bilang paghahanda sa nalalapit na Division Meet sa susunod na buwan.

Samantala, nagbigay rin ng karangalan sa AIT si Kissha Robe Juntado matapos masungkit ang pilak sa Women’s Taekwondo Kyorugi. Hinarap niya si Nichelyn Bontayan ng Pajo National High School sa isang mainit na laban.

Mabilis na nagpakawala ng sunod-sunod na sipa si Nichelyn na naging dahilan ng pagkawala ng balanse ni Kissha. Bumawi naman si Kissha sa pamamagitan ng malinis na suntok na nagbigay sa kanya ng puntos. Gayunpaman, nanaig pa rin si Nichelyn sa unang round sa iskor na 6-2.

Sa ikalawang round, parehong bumagsak ang dalawang manlalaro matapos magpatiran. Sinamantala ni Nichelyn ang pagod ng kalaban at tinarget ang ulo nito, dahilan upang makuha niya ang panalo sa iskor na 10-2.

Bagama’t hindi nakuha ang ginto, ipinakita ni Kissha Robe Juntado ang tunay na diwa ng pagiging isportman sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng mahigpit na yakap sa kanyang kalaban matapos ang laban.

Isang mainit na bakbakan sa Women’s Volleyball ang pinangunahan ng dalawang koponan: Advance Institute of Technology, Inc. (AIT) Tech Titans at Asian Learning Center, Inc. (ALC). Ang laban ay ginanap sa Pusok National High School, Distrito Tres, noong ika-11 ng Setyembre, 2025.

Sa simula pa lamang ng laro, ramdam na ang tensyon at init ng labanan. Kita ang determinasyon ng bawat manlalaro habang umaalingawngaw ang hiyawan ng mga manonood. Sa unang set, nanguna ang koponan ng ALC at nagtala ng iskor na 25–10.

Aminado ang Tech Titans na lamang ang kanilang katunggali, ngunit hindi sila nagpahuli sa pagbawi ng puntos. Sa ikalawang set, mas tumindi ang labanan dahil sa sunod-sunod na palitan ng puntos ng dalawang koponan. Mas lalong uminit ang bulwagan at umigting ang sigawan ng mga manonood.

Papalapit na ang pagtatapos ng laro nang manguna ang Tech Titans sa iskor na 24–21 dahil sa matinding depensa at determinasyon. Ngunit bumawi ang ALC sa pamamagitan ng kanilang depensa at mabilis na atake, dahilan upang sa huli ay maitala nila ang panalo sa iskor na 26–24.

Buong puso namang tinanggap ng Tech Titans ang pagkatalo, kahit bakas ang lungkot sa kanilang mga mukha. Sa panayam, ibinahagi ng kanilang Team Captain na si Raven Hongkiangko ang kanyang saloobin:

“Naging malungkot ako dahil sa pagkatalo ng aming koponan, kahit ginawa ko na ang lahat ng aking makakaya. Pero naging aral na rin iyon para sa amin. Sa susunod na taon, babalik kami upang ipanalo ang laban. Tiyak, hindi naman talaga sa lahat ng pagkakataon panalo lang ang nangyayari. Ganoon talaga ang buhay.”

Isang nag-iinit na laban ng volleyball ang naganap sa pagitan ng Advance Institute of Technology, Inc. Tech Titans at Asian Learning Center (ALC). Ang kompetisyon ay idinaos sa Pusok National High School, Distrito 3, noong ika-11 ng Setyembre, 2025.

Inumpisahan ng dalawang koponan ang laban na kapansin-pansin ang nagbabagang tensyon at tapang na ramdam sa loob ng court. Unang nakapuntos ang ALC na agad namang sinundan ng AIT. Gayunpaman, sa huli ay nanaig ang ALC sa unang set na nagtala ng 25–12.

Dahil sa pagkatalo ng Tech Titans sa unang set, mas lalo silang nagkaroon ng motibasyon upang bumawi. Sa ikalawang set, umigting ang labanan at bawat koponan ay nagsikap sa bawat pagdepensa at pag-atake. Nakuha ng Tech Titans ang 22–21 na abante, subalit sunod-sunod namang nakapuntos ang ALC. Sa huli, muling nagwagi ang ALC sa set na nagtala ng 25–22.

Ibinuhos na ng Tech Titans ang lahat ng kanilang makakaya, pawis at galing, ngunit tila hindi pa ito ang kanilang panahon. Gayunpaman, taas-noo nilang tinanggap ang resulta. Sa panayam, ibinahagi ng Assistant Team Captain na si Jan Miguel Igot ang kanyang saloobin:

“Una sa lahat, lubos akong pinarangalan na kumatawan sa AIT sa antas ng Distrito. Layunin ng aming koponan na makapasok sa championship round, ngunit hindi namin kinaya. Nakakalungkot ito, lalo na’t ito ang huling taon kong lalaro, ngunit alam naming binigyan namin sila ng magandang laban. Mayroon pa kaming laban para sa tansong medalya, at sigurado kaming gagawin namin ang aming makakaya upang makabalik sa podium.”

Ang pagsiklab ng matinding labanan sa larangan ng pingpong ay pinangunahan ng kinatawan ng Advance Institute of Technology (AIT) na si Shaira Marturillas, laban sa pambato ng Pusok na si Alianna Bayne Cabahug. Ang nasabing laban ay ginanap noong Setyembre 11, 2025 sa Advance Institute of Technology Junior High School.

Sa unang pagkikita ng dalawang manlalaro, ramdam na ang kaba sa kanilang mga mukha. Ayon pa nga kay Shaira, “Naiihi na ako sa kaba.” Sa umpisa ng laban ay nagkaroon pa ng maikling usapan ang dalawa at nabanggit na hindi sila nakapag-ensayo nang maayos. Ngunit sa kanilang mga warm-up, kapansin-pansin ang natatagong galing ng parehong manlalaro.

Nang magsimula ang laban, dama ang matinding kaba kay Shaira, dahilan upang makalusot agad ang atake ni Alianna at makuha ang unang puntos na 1–0. Sa tulong ng sigaw at suporta ng kanyang mga kasama, nagkaroon ng lakas ng loob si Shaira na bumawi at sabayan ang galaw ng kalaban. Gayunpaman, nanaig pa rin ang lakas ni Alianna at nakuha niya ang unang dalawang round, 11–7.

Sa pangatlong round, bumawi si Shaira. Bawat puntos na makuha ng kalaban ay agad niyang tinatapatan, at minsan pa nga ay nalalamangan. Subalit hindi pa rin nawala ang kaba na kanyang dala mula sa simula. Umabot ang laban sa 9–9, kapwa ipinakita ng dalawang manlalaro ang kanilang husay. Ngunit isang pagkakamali ang naging daan upang makuha ni Alianna ang huling puntos at tuluyang makuha ang panalo sa 11–9.

Bagama’t hindi naiuwi ang tagumpay, ipinakita ni Shaira Marturillas ng AIT ang kanyang lakas ng loob at husay sa laban. Ang kanyang determinasyon at tapang ay nagsilbing inspirasyon sa mga kapwa mag-aaral ng Advance Institute of Technology.
