LOOK: Raising awareness on the right to adequate and nutritious food, the Nutri-Jingle 2025 competition was held last August 6 at the St. Ambrose Hall, featuring student-led performances centered around this year’s theme, “Food and Nutrition Security, Maging Priority—Sapat na Pagkain, Karapatan Natin!” The event was conducted as part of the school’s observance of Nutrition Month.

For the first time since the pandemic, the competition was held as an interbatch event, with sections from Grades 7 to 9 competing against one another rather than within their respective year levels.

Following a series of elimination rounds, the following sections advanced to the finals and showcased their original jingles:

Grade 7: 7A, 7B, 7I
Grade 8: 8A, 8B, 8D
Grade 9: 9A, 9B, 9F

Each group delivered a jingle performance incorporating music, lyrics, and choreography to communicate messages aligned with the event’s theme. After the final performances, the following winners were recognized:

Champion: 8D – St. Nicholas of Tolentine
1st Runner-Up: 9B – St. Monica
2nd Runner-Up: 9A – St. Alypius
3rd Runner-Up: 8B – St. Monica

The activity emphasized student engagement in advocacy through the creative arts, aligning with efforts to promote nutrition and food security as key public health concerns.

Wikang Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Daluyan ng Diwa, Bigkis ng Pagkakaisa

Sa pagdiriwang ng Colegio San Agustin - Makati ng Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa, nakikiisa ang pahayagang Insights-Salik sa pagbubunyi ng wikang Filipino at mga wikang katutubong umiiral sa ating bansa.

Sentro ng pagdiriwang ang temang “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa,” na nagpapaalala sa atin ng pagpapahalaga sa ating tinig bilang daluyan ng ating diwa at bigkis ng pagkakaisa.

Higit pa sa paggunita, maging hamon nawa ito sa atin upang mas paunlarin ang wikang Filipino at mga wikang umiiral sa buong kapuluan bilang kasangkapan sa pagtataguyod ng ating pagkakakilanlan tungo sa pambansang pagkakaisa at kaunlaran.

Magsilbi nawang apoy ang ating pambansang wika sa pagpapaalab ng ating diwang makabayan, tangan ang pag-asa sa paghubog ng mga kabataang Pilipino bilang mga pinunong tagapaglingkod ng ating bayan.

The event was conducted in two batches, with the program for Grades 10 and 12 taking place in the morning, followed by Grades 8 and 9 in the afternoon.

Senior High School students were recognized for their academic performance in the second semester, while Junior High School students received awards for both their third term achievements and overall performance for the school year. Organized by the Student Affairs Committee, the ceremony not only honored individual accomplishments, but also reflected the Augustinian community’s enduring commitment to academic excellence and holistic student formation.

TUNGHAYAN: Matagumpay na inilunsad ng Innovus ang taunang Blood Donation Drive na may temang “Fueling a Future of Hope” kahapon, ika-21 ng Hulyo, sa tulong ng High School Community Extension Services (HS CES) at ang kanilang opisyal na kaagapay, Philippine Red Cross (PRC) Rizal Chapter.

Dinaluhan ng mga mag-aaral mula sa ika-10 baitang hanggang Senior High School, pati na rin ng mga magulang, kaguruan, at alumni, ang nasabing proyekto na isinagawa sa High School Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) upang makiisa sa pagpapahalaga sa makataong inisyatiba ng institusyon. Sa kabila ng suspensiyon ng klase bunsod ng malakas na habagat, hindi ito naging hadlang sa pagsisikap ng organisasyon na maipagpatuloy ang aktibidad at makakalap pa rin ng mga boluntaryong donor.

“Kahit nagkaroon ng suspensiyon, naniniwala akong naging matagumpay ang isinagawang bloodletting activity bunga ng pagtutulungan at dedikasyon ng lahat ng nakibahagi. Nakapanghihinayang na may ilang hindi na nakapag-donate, ngunit lubos ang aking pasasalamat sa lahat ng nagnanais lumahok sa makabuluhang adhikaing ito. Sigurado akong magkakaroon pa ng mas maraming pagkakataon para sa komunidad ng CSA sa susunod na taon,” ani Julia Abigail Pino, pangulo ng Innovus.

Sa pamamagitan ng blood donation drive, muling ipinamalas ng pamayanang Agustino ang pagpapatuloy sa adhikain para sa mapanagutang paglilingkod tangan ang pag-asa.

LOOK: With over 100 applicants in total, Insights-Salik’s skills test took place this July 16-17, with some sections requiring an online submission.

For those applying to the writing sections (News, Features, Science, Sports) and the photojournalism sections of the organization, a face-to-face skills test was administered after school hours.

The skills tests are unique for every division, challenging students to accomplish the specialized tasks in a timely manner while maintaining the quality of their output.

These assessments serve as the final step for potential staffers, providing the section editors insights into how each student composes their pieces.

The results for each applicant will be sent on July 20.

Earlier today, Eala shared a warm moment with the High School Principal, Fr. Julian C. Mazana, OSA, and was graciously welcomed by the Augustinian community, including her former teachers and administrators.

She also visited the 56th Foundation Day Exhibit, where she signed her photo displayed in the newly blessed Augustinian Student Excellence section—an initiative celebrating notable alumni achievements through the years.

Eala now sets her sights on continuing her historic campaign in the US Open following her stellar performance in the first half of the year.

LOOK: Ahead of the upcoming Blood Donation Drive 2025, the officers of Innovus, the STEM strand organization of Colegio San Agustin – Makati, visited various school offices to promote participation in the event and raise awareness about the value of blood donation.

During their rounds, the Innovus team discussed the benefits of donating blood, such as improved circulation and red blood cell production, and provided information on the eligibility criteria for prospective donors. This initiative is part of their ongoing effort to engage the CSA community in meaningful and life-saving service.

In support of these efforts, Marcus Buena, a donor from last year’s drive, shared his personal experience with the Grade 10 batch, offering insights into the process and encouraging more students to take part in this year’s event.

The Blood Donation Drive 2025 will take place on July 21 (Monday) at the CSA High School Multipurpose Room. The activity is open to CSA students from Grades 10 to 12, as well as parents and alumni who meet the donation criteria.

The initiative is a collaborative effort between Innovus and the High School Community Extension Services (CES), with CES serving as the official coordinating partner with the Philippine Red Cross. CES prepared the project proposal, secured the venue, and is currently coordinating sponsorships to support the logistical needs of the event.

LOOK: In celebration of Colegio San Agustin-Makati’s 56th anniversary, the blessing of the Foundation Day Exhibit was held yesterday, July 9, at the High School Lobby, presided by Rev. Fr. Julian C. Mazana, OSA, together with the Augustinian Fathers.

The exhibit, a collaboration between the Supreme Student Council and the Values Education-Christian Living Education Area, features artworks from the Junior High School Department, a timeline of CSA’s history since 1969, original photos and documents from the school archives, and highlights of alumni achievements through the years.

The ceremony included a Gospel reading, a short message from Fr. Mazana, and a symbolic ribbon-cutting to mark the exhibit’s official opening.

Open until the end of the month, the Foundation Day Exhibit embodies CSA’s commitment to building up the City of God by honoring its legacy, celebrating holistic student formation, and inspiring a future guided by Augustinian values.

TUNGHAYAN: Malugod na ipinagdiwang ng Colegio San Agustin-Makati (CSA) kahapon, Hulyo 7, 2025, ang ika-56 na taon ng patuloy na paghubog sa mga Agustinong pinunong tagapaglingkod na may temang “Augustinian Pilgrims of Hope: 56 Years of Enriching Faith.”

Sinimulan ang pagdiriwang sa isang banal na misang pasasalamat, na sinundan ng opisyal na pagbabasbas ng mga bagong solar panel sa kampus kasama ang kumpanyang WEnergy Global. Sa pagsulong ng mapagkalingang tugon sa kalikasan ay sinabayan din ito ng pag-aabot ng tulong ng mga mag-aaral sa mga nangangailangan sa pamamagitan ng paghahandog ng mga canned goods.

Mula sa 620 mga mag-aaral noong 1969, hanggang sa libo-libong kabuoang hanay ng mga estudyante sa kasalukuyan, palatandaan sa ating kasaysayan ang paggunita ng araw na ito upang ipagpatuloy ang gampanin ng CSA sa paghubog ng kabataang Agustinong may pagpapahalaga sa katotohanan, pagkakaisa, at pagmamalasakit.

Tunghayan ang balita sa ika-56 anibersaryo ng pagkakatatag ng paaralan sa opisyal na website ng Insights-Salik.
