| A MONTH OF PRIDE

Be yourself. Be confident. Be proud.

Today, June 1, 2026, marks the beginning of the monthโ€”a time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and promote a society built on respect, equality, and acceptance.

With empathy, understanding, and compassionโ€” everyone deserves to be treated with dignity regardless of gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation. It inspires everyone to be themselves, to fight against discrimination and advocate for a world where everyone is free to be who they are.

May this month inspire us to build a community where differences are embraced, voices are heard, and everyone feels valued.

Happy Pride Month, Everyone!

๐—ก๐—˜๐—ช๐—ฆ ๐—™๐—˜๐—”๐—ง๐—จ๐—ฅ๐—˜ |A Scoutโ€™s Courage: SJNHS Student Earns Recognition in ESTC 2026

โ€ŽPILI, Camarines Sur โ€” What began as a simple encouragement from his parents eventually became a journey of leadership, courage, and service for San Juan National High School (SJNHS) student Eduardo P. Vasquez III.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽEduardo, 15, represented SJNHS as the sole participant in the Emergency Service Training Course (ESTC) held from May 6 to 11 at Camp Rodriguez Santos in Cadlan-Palestina, Pili, Camarines Sur.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽInitially uncertain about joining the training, Eduardo admitted feeling intimidated upon arriving at the camp due to unfamiliar surroundings and participants.
โ€Ž
โ€Žโ€œDi ako makakapasok diyan, wala naman akong kilala eh,โ€ he recalled before the leadership voting began.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽDespite his hesitation, Eduardo chose to step out of his comfort zone by nominating himself for a leadership position. As the training progressed, he gradually built friendships and confidence through shared activities and teamwork with fellow scouts.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽHis perseverance and active participation eventually earned him the position of ESC for Finance Batch 2026-(005). He also received the awards โ€œMost Activeโ€ and โ€œMost Active in Road Safetyโ€ during the course.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽBefore attaining his current Outdoorsman rank, Eduardo first achieved the Pathfinder rank, where he developed discipline, leadership, and survival skills through years of scouting activities and training.
โ€Ž
โ€Žโ€œMy parents, teachers, adult leaders, and most especially my perseverance to achieve a childhood dream,โ€ he shared.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽSJNHS BSP Coordinator and Outfit Advisor Sir Jason D. Brioso, WBH, commended Eduardo for his dedication and courage in participating in the rigorous training program. Brioso also acknowledged Eduardoโ€™s willingness to represent the school despite being the lone participant.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽHe further shared that he guided and encouraged Eduardo to join the ESTC to help him strengthen his leadership skills, confidence, and commitment to the ideals of scouting.
โ€Ž
โ€Žโ€œOn behalf of San Juan National High School, I would like to express our deepest pride and appreciation for your participation in the Emergency Service Training Course (ESTC). Your commitment to such rigorous training speaks volumes about your character and dedication to Scouting ideals,โ€ Brioso stated.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽFor Eduardo, scouting became more than just wearing a uniform or earning badges. He said the experience taught him resilience, leadership, and the value of serving alongside others.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAmong his most memorable experiences in scouting was meeting new people, learning about their struggles, and growing together through shared challenges.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽWhen asked for advice to aspiring scouts, Eduardo answered with the scouting motto:
โ€Ž
โ€Žโ€œBe Preparedโ€ or โ€œLaging Handa.โ€
โ€Ž
โ€Žโ€œJust be ready when the time comes,โ€ he added.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽEduardoโ€™s achievements continue to bring pride to San Juan National High School and reflect the values of courage, discipline, leadership, and service promoted by the scouting movement.

โ€Ž
Once, she lived for herself,
โ€ŽNow tangled in a mesh,
โ€ŽLiving between the shelves,
โ€ŽNurturing ones of flesh.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽOnce beneath her heart,
โ€ŽNow she stands as guard,
โ€ŽAs they breathe from her part,
โ€ŽA decision she once made.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽOnce, she dreamed alone,
โ€ŽNow lives through those she grew.
โ€ŽA life no longer her own,
โ€ŽYet a love forever true.

โ€ŽOnce, she had a name,
โ€ŽNow โ€œMotherโ€ she is called,
โ€ŽConsumed by love and flame,
โ€ŽYet she never wanes nor falls.
