HAPPY TEACHERS’ DAY, AUGUSTINIANS!

LOOK: In celebration of World Teachers’ Day, Colegio San Agustin–Makati held a two-day tribute for its educators on October 6 and 7, in line with the theme, “Ignition: Guided by Greatness.” The celebration aimed to honor the invaluable service of teachers who continue to guide Augustinian learners in faith, knowledge, and love.

The two-day celebration opened with a special breakfast organized by the Supreme Student Council for all teachers as a gesture of gratitude and appreciation for their enduring dedication to the Augustinian mission of education.

Following this, each batch held their respective programs at the CSA Theater, featuring performances, messages, and tokens of appreciation that reflected the students’ creativity and heartfelt admiration for their mentors. These batch programs were followed by classroom celebrations, allowing the sections to express their gratitude to their advisers and co-advisers in personal and meaningful ways.

Throughout the two-day celebration, the theme’s message resonated in every gesture of thanks and tribute, serving as a reminder that teachers play a pivotal role in igniting curiosity and excellence among their students.

Day and night stood in near-perfect harmony on September 23 as the second and final Equinox of the year graced the Philippines. This astronomical event, which occurs only twice a year, happens when the sun aligns directly above the equator, resulting in almost equal hours of day and night across the globe.

TUNGHAYAN: Nakiisa ang pamayanang Agustino sa iba’t ibang organisasyong pangmasa at mamamayang Pilipino sa isinagawang kilos-protesta ngayong Setyembre 21 upang kondenahin ang korapsyon at katiwalian sa pamahalaan.

Hindi natinag ang malakas na panawagan ng taumbayan sa protesta sa Luneta Park at EDSA Shrine sa kabila ng sama ng panahon para sa pananagutan laban sa katiwalian.

Kasabay ng kilos-protesta ang ika-53 anibersaryo ng deklarasyon ng malagim na Batas Militar sa ilalim ng diktadurang Marcos Sr.

Iparinig ang ating tinig sa ating pagtindig. Sigaw ito ng Pilipinong hindi palulupig.

TO REMEMBER WHEN OTHERS FORGET IS TO RESIST.

Remembrance is not the passive act it appears to be; it stands defiant against silence. To look back is to resist the erasure of truth and to honor the courage of those who endured fear, violence, and the imprisonment of a nation.

Commemoration is not only about the memories—it is a warning, ensuring that what once strangled freedom shall never ensue again.

To remember is to confront the shadow of history and to refuse the comfort of forgetting. It is to bear witness to the wounds inflicted, the lives cut short, and the voices silenced. In remembrance, we bear the responsibility of carrying forward the struggle for justice, so that the darkness of the past may never return to claim the future.

LOOK: The High School Department of Colegio San Agustin–Makati collected a total of 974 loaves of bread from students and teachers during this year’s outreach, titled “One Loaf, One Day,” in celebration of the feast day of St. Nicholas of Tolentine.

The collected loaves were distributed to patients at the Philippine General Hospital, UP Health Services Unit, Bahay Kahirup (PWD institution), persons deprived of liberty at Makati City Jail, as well as school security personnel, SBOA drivers and operators, and staff.

Before the bread was distributed to its beneficiaries, a simple blessing ceremony was presided over by Fr. Julian C. Mazana, OSA, HS Principal. Following this, the Grade 12 Council turned over the donations to PGH while the Grade 10 Council distributed the remaining loaves within the school community, with administrators and teachers assisting with delivery to the other partner institutions.

Organized by the HS Community Extension Services in collaboration with the Grade Level Councils, the outreach commemorated the feast of St. Nicholas of Tolentine, the patron saint of Grade 10. More than a celebration, the initiative served as a cherished Augustinian tradition that strengthened the values of community, compassion, and service among both students and staff.

HULI NA NANG IKA’Y AKING IBIGIN
Wikang Filipino, Pananampalatayang Agustino: Tampok sa Sabayang Pagbigkas

Ipinamalas ng mga mag-aaral mula sa hayskul ang kanilang malikhaing interpretasyon ng “Huli Na Nang Ika’y Aking Ibigin”, salin ni Ginang Camartin, mula sa panalangin ni San Agustin, sa taunang pinal na pagtatanghal ng sabayang pagbigkas sa Bulwagang San Ambrosio, na nakatuon sa pagpapahalaga at pananampalatayang Agustino.

Bukod sa karaniwang tema ng wika at nasyonalismo, tampok ngayong taon ang bagong pokus ng piyesa hinggil sa panalangin ni San Agustin na nagbigay ng mas malalim na kahulugan sa pagtatanghal.
      
Sa unang lebel na nilahukan ng Baitang 7 at 8, nakamit ng 7B ang unang gantimpala, sinundan ng 7A, at ng 8J naman para sa ikatlong gantimpala. Sa ikalawang lebel na nilahukan naman ng Baitang 9 at 10, itinanghal na kampeon ang 10A, habang pumangalawa naman ang 9A, at pumangatlo ang 9B. 

Dagdag pa sa mga pagtatanghal ng bawat baitang sa Araw ng Kapistahan ni San Agustin, nagpakitang-gilas din ang mga mag-aaral na nagkamit ng mga gantimpala sa mga paligsahang malikhaing pagkukuwento, monologo, at talumpatian bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika. 

Nagtapos ang pagdiriwang sa isang selebrasyon sa pamamagitan ng pagsayaw ng mga piling mag-aaral at kaguruan ng Erya ng Filipino. Ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ngayong taon ay salamin ng malalim na pagpapahalaga sa wikang Filipino at pananampalataya para sa pagkamit ng pambansang pagkakaisa.
