​Happy Mother’s Day to the person who has been my entire world since the beginning. It is a beautiful, bittersweet thing to grow up and realize how much of your own strength was actually yours, borrowed from me.

Thank you for the sacrifices I didn’t notice when I was younger, and for the love that stayed constant even when I was at my most difficult. You gave me the wings to fly, and even though they take me into my own life now, my heart will always find its way back home to you.

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 | 𝑶𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒏
Try to smile.
Try to work extremely hard, but also try to relax for a while.

Try to laugh.
Try to learn from past experiences, but also try to move on, and let go of the things that are just never coming back.

Try to love.
Try to do things beyond what you can conceptualize, reach for the stars and above.

Try to be down to earth.
Try learning to be contented with simplicity.

Try.
Even in times of failure and difficulty, even if it may be outright gut-wrenching and uneasy,

Try to live.
Just try.
Even if it's not in your plan.

Try even if it's completely out of your hands.

For only in trying, can we truly see.
Beneath the failures, shortcomings, and sorrows,
the road that leads to our true destiny.

Clean surroundings reflect a responsible and united community.

Their cooperation and teamwork showed how unity among student organizations can create a positive impact on the community.

More than just a simple activity, this program served as a reminder that maintaining cleanliness is a shared responsibility. Through “Our Road, Our Pride,” students were encouraged to take pride in their environment and continue practicing discipline and care in keeping their surroundings clean.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 | 𝗔𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿
‎
‎Every athlete has a beginning, but for Einsley, table tennis was not just a sport; it was an inherited passion.
‎"Before ko ning duwa gajud ug ping pong, basketball gajud ag ganahan ipaduwa sa ako tatay".
‎
‎However, life and a push from his older sister steered him toward the table. By the third grade, what started as a suggestion became a lifelong commitment.
‎
‎His journey was forged in discipline. Reflecting on his early years, he describes the training under his father as "impyerno" (hellish), characterized by rigid assignments and the relentless pursuit of mastery. "Dili gajud ko kamao mo igo ug bola," he recalls of his early struggles. Yet, it was this demanding start that cultivated the resilience he carries today.
‎
‎Balancing the demands of being an engineering student, where even minor subjects feel like major hurdles, with the intensity of regional athletic training is no small feat. During his third year, the academic pressure intensified, turning his daily life into a tightrope walk.
‎
‎"Regardless sa kalisod, nakit-an gihapon ug paagi na ma balance nako ag pagtuon ug pag practice".
‎
‎His philosophy for navigating burnout is simple yet profound: "If na-stress mo sa mga dapat etuon, relax kadali unya duwa ping pong. If sobraan na pod ka stress sa ping pong, pahuway and tuon."
‎
‎It is this wisdom.
‎Knowing when to push and when to pause.
‎This allowed him to excel where many would have faltered.
‎
‎His internal dialogue was clear:
"𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔, 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒅𝒐 𝒐𝒓 𝒅𝒊𝒆."
‎This mantra fueled his run to the bronze medal, a moment that stands as a tribute to his coaches, his teammates, and his father.
‎
‎When asked what he would say to his freshman self, the advice is tender and grounded: "Eh dawat na lamn ag mga panahon na lisod. Naa mn gajud panahon kita nga nindot ag adlaw, naa pod panahon nga kita ag way nindot na adlaw."
‎A reminder that the highs and lows are both essential parts of the athlete’s evolution.
‎
‎Einsley doesn't want to be remembered just for the medals or the tactical maneuvers on the court. His goal is to leave a legacy of support—to be the player who stood by his team until the very end. "Ang gitudlo sa ping pong nako kay mag antus gajud," he reflects.
‎
‎"𝑵𝒐 𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒔𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒆."
‎
‎While his future in competitive play remains a question of time and opportunity, his mindset remains fixed on growth.
"Feel pa nako na wala pa nako na reach ako full potential".

Whether he competes in the next SCUAA, or takes his journey in a new direction, his parting words to the younger generation serve as a guide for success.

"𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒅, 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒖𝒑 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒆𝒏𝒅."
‎
‎For Einsley Brent Lhure Agapay, the game of table tennis has been the mirror through which he discovered his own strength. He leaves the court not just as a competitor, but as a leader who understands that the true measure of an athlete is found in the heart they bring to the table every single day.
