After completing their two-week Manila affiliation, the first batch of Bicol University College of Nursing (BUCN) juniors departed for Legazpi City today, July 5, 2025.

At around 3:00 p.m., buses arrived at Robbinsdale Hotel, where students from Block B promptly boarded and began their return trip.

Block A, however, encountered a delay due to a leak in the air-conditioning unit of their assigned bus.

The issue prompted a two-hour setback as students had to wait for a replacement vehicle and transfer their belongings.

By 5:00 p.m., Block A was finally en route.

With the first batchโ€™s departure, the second batch, composed of Blocks C and D, is expected to arrive in Manila tomorrow morning to begin their affiliation rotation. โ€” Mark Francis Turiano, The Vital Signs

Starting off the upcoming school year, Qualified Applicants of the Bicol University College of Nursing (BUCN) gathered at the BUCN grounds to enroll for the 1st Semester of SY 2025-2026, today, July 1.

Enrollees proceeded with the process, which includes NSTP validation, checking of requirements, and verification of enrollment, only having short waiting time as only a few enrollees arrived in the morning.

Moreover, the college experienced no issues to hinder the enrollment process, as BUCN was not affected by the power interruption that occurred in some areas of the university.

The BUCN College Student Council (CSC) showed support through their Project CARE, extending help to the enrollees with printing services, borrowing of supplies, garage sale, and ushering the students.

Following the enrollment schedule of the incoming qualified freshmen today, July 1, until July 4 are the waitlisted applicants on July 7โ€“9 and below-quota applicants on July 21โ€”24.

The scheduled enrollment for 2nd to 5th year students will be on July 28โ€“August 1 and the continuation of enrollment will start on August 4 until August 8.โ€” Chris Dominic Laguilles, The Vital Signs

LEGAZPI CITY, Albay โ€” Unfazed by the unfavorable weather, BUeรฑos rallied in solidarity during the Rainbow Parade 2.0: โ€œLove Freely, Live Safely,โ€ held yesterday, June 29, 2025, to champion equality, inclusion, and human rights for the LGBTQIA+ community.

The parade began at 2:40 p.m. at Peรฑaranda Park and continued toward the Bicol University College of Education Integrated Laboratory School (BUCEILS) building, where the main program commenced.

University Student Council (USC) Student Regent and Chairperson Kyle Rueben Bron welcomed the attendees with an opening message, followed by speeches from invited guest speakers.

Among them was Mx. Joshua Loria, secretary of Gayon Albay LGBT Organization Inc., who emphasized that their fight for equality would not stop until pride becomes a celebration rather than a protest.

The challenging weather also did not dampen the spirits of the performers and the audience, as the event featured lively performances from drag artists and LGBTIA+ icons including Sheesh Spicy, Trinity J, Ericcah Braga, Nikita Doll, M!ss Vo Jayna, Miss B, and Anthra###.

Showing steadfast support, the Bicol University College of Nursing (BUCN) participated through its college-based organizations, including the BUCN College Student Council (CSC), Red Cross Youth Council (RCYC), and the Philippine Nursing Students Association (PNSA) - Legazpi City Chapter.

Keesha Athea Alipio, an incoming third-year student of BUCN, shared her thoughts on the significance of the event to the community.

Quezon City, Manila โ€” Rainbow flags wave proudly across the University of the Philippines Diliman as LGBTQIA+ members, allies, youth groups, and advocates gather yesterday, June 28, for LoveLaban: Pride PH Festival 2025.

With nearly 250,000 attendees, organizers moved this yearโ€™s main events from Quezon Memorial Circle to the university campus, making it the largest Pride festival in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

The event featured a full day of activities, including the Pride Expo at 10:00 a.m., the Pride March at 2:00 p.m., and the Pride Night festivities at 6:00 p.m.

Pride Villages are also set up in various parts of the city to promote awareness, inclusivity, and community engagement.

Despite a sudden afternoon downpour, spirits remain high as crowds revel in live performances at the Sunken Garden.

Held as a key highlight of Pride Month, the festival was both a celebration of identity and a protest for justice.
