Between realityโ€™s joyous triumphs and harsh blows, it is often the inconsequential in-betweens that unexpectedly stay with us through dangling ornaments, still mementos, and fading visions; trifling, reminding, enduring.

For we are all but mosaics of the tiny little trifles we hold dear. ๐Ÿ€

Our stories are now all yours.

Team SOARBound from Bulacan State Universityโ€™s College of Information and Communications Technology (BulSU CICT) clinched the Best Product Award at AppCon 2024 with their Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered gig work appโ€”๐—๐—ฒ๐—ผ, winning โ‚ฑ30,000, and national recognition during the awarding ceremony held on June 28 at Adamson University.

Jeo is a collective service application that seamlessly connects service providers with customers using advanced AI to match the usersโ€™ wants and needs efficiently. The app is designed to address the growing demand for convenience through technology.

SOARBoundโ€™s app stood out for its innovation and impactful development during the AppCon 2024, an annual invitational application development contest focused on solving societal issues, with this yearโ€™s theme: โ€œAI and IOT Solutions for Social Issues in the Philippines.โ€ The competition gathered some of the brightest college students across the nation.

SOARBound is composed of four graduating studentsโ€”Alyhanna Faith Guinto, John Karlos De Guzman, Axl Louis Coronel, and Ivan Gonzalesโ€”who worked collaboratively to design, test, and refine the application. Their success was the outcome of their diligent effort and perseverance, ensuing in a presentation that impressed the judges.

After the competition, Guinto expressed her gratitude for simply the chance to represent the college.

โ€œIt is always an honor to bring pride to our college, CICT. But whether we win or not, just representing our college is already something we are very grateful for,โ€ she stated.

Dr. Josephine R. Bayonito and Engr. Lester Phil M. Cruz guided the team throughout the process. Their support helped the team shape their vision into an award-winning application.

Reflecting on the journey, Guinto shared the difficulties they faced and how the team overcame these consequences.

โ€œYes, there were challenges that we had to overcome, but by taking on those challenges as a team and with a positive attitude, we were able to make this competition a wholesome experience,โ€ she said.

Guinto further emphasized that aspiring participants should always consider their teammates when working together. She also highlighted the deeper value of joining such events.

โ€œIf you want to join a competition, then join and give it your best shot. It is the experience that matters,โ€ she added.

Concluding their success, Team SOARBound has proven that passion, collaboration, and innovation are the core values for social impact. The CICT community celebrates this milestone not just for the award, but a testament to what can be achieved when a team works as one.

๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—ข๐—ž | โ€œAng Pride ay protesta!โ€

Powerful chants echoed at the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman as civil society groups participated in the third LoveLaban Festival on June 28.

Expressing their support for LGBTQIA+ rights and other pressing societal issues, allies and community members marched inside UP to the main stage in Sunken Garden.

Members of BulSU SG were among the participants in the annual pride event, calling for equality and inclusivity.

During the event, Bahaghari Alliance Chairperson Reyna Valmores Salinas stressed that pride is a protestโ€”not just of the LGBTQIA+ community, but of the masses as well.

LoveLaban Festival served as a protest for the continuous push to pass the 25-year-old SOGIE Equality Bill.

๐—ก๐—˜๐—ช๐—ฆ | BulSUans seek improved LGBTQIA+ policiesโ€”SG findings

๐˜ฃ๐˜บ ๐˜‘๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ก๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜‘๐˜ฐ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ป

MANILA โ€“ According to a study by the Bulacan State University (BulSU) SG Research and Development Committee on June 23, 68% of students at BulSU believe that more than just posters and awareness campaigns, inclusive policies are necessary.

In the study, it was specified that students need more โ€˜visibility and accessibility of reporting systems, clearer anti-harassment policies, and campaigns that go beyond awareness into real action.โ€™

Additionally, the committee revealed that only 31% of BulSUans were aware of harassment reporting channels and that only 2 out of 200 BulSUans knew about the Committee on Decorum and Investigation (CODI).

BulSU SG Senator and Research and Development Committee Chairperson Nataniel Magat said in an interview with CURSOR during the third LoveLaban Fest that knowledge of the law did not significantly contribute to feelings of safety on campus. โ€œSadly, it's not significant. Ibig sabihin, hindi kailangan [na] alam mo โ€˜yung batas ay [para] maramdaman mo na ligtas ka. Kaya nangangahulugan lang ito na mas dapat maramdaman natin โ€˜yung mga nagpapatupad ng mga polisiyang ito sa ating pamantasan.โ€

Alyssa Velez, BulSU SG Senator and Chairperson of the Gender Equality, Diversity, and Inclusivity Committee, also highlighted that the struggle for safe spaces and the acceptance of gender-affirmative clothing continues within the university. โ€œGusto ko ipagpatuloy โ€˜yung laban sa gender affirmative clothing kasi although meron tayong clause sa Magna Carta of Students na pwede na โ€˜yan, hindi pa rin siya talagang implemented sa iba't ibang kolehiyo. Gayon din โ€˜yung usapang ligtas na espasyo kasi ang status ngayon sa BulSU, accepted and tolerated, pero โ€˜yung mga policies hindi pa rin pasok. Katulad na nga lamang sa College of Education hindi sila nakakapag-practice ng gender affirmative clothing sa uniforms at iba't iba pang college.โ€

Moreover, Velez stressed that even non-legal documents for a gender affirmative graduation, like PowerPoints, are blocked.

To combat these issues, Velez vowed to continue the push for the Safe Spaces Policy, as well as the Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Guidelines (TGNC).

Velez also committed that the SG will actively present data to the Board of Regents (BOR) to emphasize the urgent need for these policies.

During the LoveLaban pride event, Bahaghari Coalition Chairperson Reyna Valmores Salinas stressed that pride is a protest for the rights of civil society, specifically the LGBTQIA+ community. For BulSUans, pride persists to be a protest for a more inclusive and safer BulSU.

๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—ข๐—ž | CICT Firefox serve up flames at Menโ€™s Volleyball Tryouts

Aspiring athletes from the College of Information and Communications Technology (CICT) showcased their skills yesterday, June 27, during the Men's Volleyball Team tryouts at Green Farm Garden Resort, Malolos, Bulacan.

Many promising talents attended the event, showing heart and dedication in hopes of representing CICT Firefox in upcoming competitions.

"Technically, ang pinaka-kailangan ko ay versatile. Kasi sabi ko nga kaninaโ€”masyadong dikit-dikit 'yong laro [at] masyadong magkakalapit [ang mga players]. Kailangan ko 'yong kayang mag-adjust agad [at] kayang maglaro ng kahit anong position," said Mr. Aaron Paul Dela Rosa, CICT Firefox Men's Volleyball Coach, when asked what qualities he is looking for.

Before officially wrapping up the event, Mr. Dela Rosa emphasized the importance of the tryout in preparation for the anticipated Angara's Cup, which is expected to take place in early August.
