Hindi biglaan lamang dumarating ang mga banta sa ating pamumuhay. Minsan, itoโ€™y dahan-dahan. Sa naipong tubig na hindi nililinis, sa paalala na hindi pinapansin, sa katawan at bakurang pinapabayaan.

Ang banta ng dengue ay lubhang lumalaganap, at hindi pa ito nagtatapos. Araw-araw, dumaragdag ang bilang ng mga kaso. At sa bawat bagong kaso, lalong kumakalat ang panganib sa kada sulok ng ating mga komunidad.

Hindi sapat na manood lamang habang lumalala ang sitwasyong ito. Kinakailangan nating kumilos at matuto. Kinakailangan nating makialam bago pa mahuli ang lahat.

Huwag maging mangmang.

Months of heavy notes and late-night reviews have led to this exact moment. As the first term examinations begin, take a deep breath and trust the foundation you have built along the way.

It is completely fine to feel a little overwhelmed right now. Just take it one subject at a time, be gentle with yourself, and remember that you are more than capable of handling what is in front of you.

May you navigate every part with a steady heart, quiet confidence, and the enduring strength of the Thomasian spirit! ๐Ÿ€โœ๏ธ

The UST-Legazpi Dome came alive with Bicolano tradition as MADYA BAYLE: A Dance Showcase of Bicol's Cultural Heritage brought together researchers, performers, and cultural advocates through cultural performance.

Traditional dances from across the region, including Kudot Kudotan, Pagmamanto, Perdon, Guipao Can Sagnay, Bugsa, Vaquero de Masbate, Lagaylay, and Padaraw, were presented by participating institutions from Bicol.

Beyond the performances, a panel discussion explored the research, interpretations, and cultural significance behind the featured dances, followed by the awarding of certificates to the individuals and institutions who contributed to the event.

The event concluded with closing remarks from Dr. Alvin A. Sario, Ph.D., closing a gathering that bridged cultural research and performance in celebrating Bicol's rich dance heritage.

The University of Santo Tomas-Legazpi secured 1st Runner-Up in the Overall Combined Scores during the Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC), held at Gogon Central School from September 9โ€“11.

A total of 50 campus journalists from The Vitruvian and The Prism and MediaTech competed across various journalistic events, with UST-Legazpi placing as Overall 2nd Runner-Up in the Filipino Category and Overall Champion in the English Category.

The division-wide performance earned 20 Legazpi-Thomasian journalists a spot at the Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC), where they will represent the Legazpi City Division in Naga City on December 7โ€“10.

From the division stage to the regional press conference, Legazpi Thomasians are set to take on the next level of competition.

When the odds gather like a storm, victory may not lie in overpowering what stands before you, but in holding fast to what lies within.

General Simeรณn Ola, born 161 years ago today, went on to become the last major Filipino general to surrender in the Philippine-American War. Long before he laid down his arms, he had made one thing clear: no sum of gold could ever buy his loyalty.

More than a century later, his legacy enduresโ€”a quiet reminder that even when power presses hard and temptation glimmers in compromise, some convictions are worth holding onto.

Today, August 31, 2026, the Philippines commemorates National Heroes Day, a dedication to honoring the courage, sacrifices, and unwavering service of the Filipinos who fought for our freedom and helped shape the nation we have today.

As we remember our heroes from the past, may we also recognize that heroism lives on through everyday Filipinos who serve their communities, stand for what is right, and contribute to the nation in their own meaningful ways.

Parents and guardians gathered to develop stronger academic partnerships for student growth during the Parents, Instructors and Student Association (PISA) General Assembly at the UST-L Dome on Saturday, August 29.

The assembly functioned as a strategic information outlet presented by directors Ms. Michelle Llanto, LPT (Office of the University Registrar); Mr. Jumar Bona, LPT (Office of Student Services); and Mr. Niรฑo Daep, RPm (Office of Guidance and Testing). They guided families through key Senior High School updates, highlighting the Three-Term Calendar, revised grading systems, student welfare policies, and essential guidance services.

Concluding with open forum discussions during the homeroom orientation and parent-officer elections, the gathering reaffirmed the shared commitment of educators and guardians in shaping the academic year ahead.

Bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika 2026, isinagawa kahapon, ika-27 ng Agosto, ang mga patimpalak na Madamdaming Pagbasa at Pagsulat ng Tula, na nilahukan ng mga mag-aaral mula Baitang 11 at 12.

Ipinamalas ng bawat kalahok ang kanilang husay, talento, at pagkamalikhain sa paggamit ng wikang Filipino bilang instrumento ng pagpapahayag sa pamamagitan ng masining na pagbasa at malikhaing pagsulat ng tula.

Sa bawat salitang binibigkas at taludtod na isinusulat, patuloy na namamayagpag ang wikang Filipinoโ€”ang wikang nagbibigay-tinig sa ating mga damdamin, kaisipan, at talentong pansining.

Aktibong nakilahok ang mga mag-aaral mula sa Baitang 11 at 12 sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ngayong ika-26 ng Agosto, na may temang โ€œBuwan ng Wika, Wikang Filipino at AI: Kasangkapan sa Pananaliksik at Tulay sa Yaman ng Impormasyon.โ€

Ipinamalas ng mga mag-aaral ang kanilang pagpapahalaga sa kulturang Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng pagsuot ng ibaโ€™t ibang kasuotang pinoy, gayundin sa pakikiisa sa mga inihandang gawain tulad ng paskilang pansilid-aralan, salusalo, at paghahatol sa pinakamagandang dekorasyon.

Sa kabila ng pag-unlad ng teknolohiya at paglaganap ng AI, nananatiling buhay ang Wikang Filipino at kulturang Pilipino. Pinatunayan ng mga Tomasino na kayang sumabay sa makabagong panahon nang hindi isinasantabi ang sariling wika at pagkakakilanlan.
