“The Filipino is worth dying for.”

Sa mga salitang ito, iniwan ni Ninoy Aquino ang isang hamon sa bayang minsang pinatahimik ng takot. Sa paggunita sa kanyang kamatayan noon, hindi lamang isang pangalan ang ating inaalala—kundi ang laban para sa kalayaang hindi dapat ipinagkakait kanino man.

Oo, may bahid si Ninoy, at hindi dapat pagtakpan ang kanyang mga pagkukulang. Ngunit hindi rin dapat gamitin ang bawat dungis upang tabunan ang kanyang naging ambag; sapagkat ang taong may kapintasan ay maaari pa ring manindigan, at ang taong may pagkakamali ay maaari pa ring magsakripisyo.

Marahil ay madaling magbato ng paratang, ngunit napakahirap maghanap ng katotohanan. Sa panahong ang salita ay maaaring patahimikin at ang pagtutol ay maaaring pagbayarin, ang pagbabalik ni Aquino sa bayan ay hindi simpleng pag-uwi—ito ay pagharap sa panganib nang mulat ang mata at matatag ang panindigan.

“A work of art is a world in itself, reflecting senses and emotions of the artist’s world.” - Hans Hofmann

A day, just like a story, is made great by the hands that create it.

Literature and art have long between using different languages to tell the same thing - to unveil the hidden world behind the scenes. A well-chosen word can create the same illusion as a well-chosen brushstroke. A comparison can be as meaningful as a portrait, and a single color can hide as much as a whole sentence. A brilliantly written line can be as mysterious as the best painted masterpiece, telling the story of a person’s life.

For an artist, this is not the case. They try to capture the invisible with the help of the most skillful strokes and shapes. They express their feelings by virtue of ink—and as the saying goes—a single picture can convey more than a thousand words.

The Art Director, Ms. Alexa Canquin knows the connection between art and literature. She knows that in both cases, the meaning is in the hands of the creator. She knows that her words have the same power as the brushstrokes of artists, unveiling the world behind them, telling their stories, and calling for action.

So today, we want to celebrate not only a member of the publication but also an artist whose words create color, whose stories make masterpieces, and whose meanings make us think.

May your new day be as beautiful as your art, as magical as your stories, and as full of meaning as your words. Happy birthday Ms. Alexa!

The Filipina sensation started with breathtaking momentum to score, 4-6, 6-4, 6-0, in a crucial one-hour-and-45-minute clash that showcased her relentless grit, determination, and hard work. Alex Eala defeated world No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula of the United States of America to clinch the title of singles champion in 2026 Mubadala DC Open on August 3, Monday.

With triumph in making it to the finals, Eala toppled over the defending champion Leylah Fernandez in the second round before a commanding finish that took out Elina Svitolina of Ukraine. Steadying her groundstrokes, Eala marched against the four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka, sweeping a clean-set finish.

"Before the final yesterday, I got so many messages, sweet messages from my family and my friends who are on tour, wherever else in the world. I thought to myself, I feel so much love," Eala said in an interview.

After long rain delays, the Filipina swept with a slow rhythmic left-handed serve that shortly ripped on the half set with an error in hand. Tying the knot, the American tennis player rallied against Eala, 4-4, through the set that went on breaking Eala’s momentum.

Despite a suspension due to rain, with Pegula set to serve, the two players exchanged holds. Eala strikes to love against Pegula with a volley in plan, holding a 5-4 advantage until the ninth game.

Pegula took a forehand long as redemption for the backhand strokes of the Filipina. Eala seized a solid service game, overpowering Pegula in the third set with 6-0.

“So standing here in the middle of all this love, my first chance at a title, knowing that it won't be my last, and already having achieved this feat and this milestone for my career, I knew that whatever would have happened after this match, it would have already been a win for me," Eala added.

Meanwhile, Eala is set to level up in her career as she moves to No. 20 in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings, uplifting the spirits of every Filipino watcher across the globe.

"Ang panulat ay parang pait. Kapag hinayaan sa kamay ng marunong humubog, nagagawa nitong mag-ukit ng mga kuwentong hindi kayang burahin ng panahon."

Hindi lamang mga salita ang hinasa sa Laboratory High School Press Conference (LHSPC) na ginanap noong Hulyo 24, 2026, sa Audio-Visual Room (AVR). Sa bawat hamon ay unti-unting inukit ang tapang ng mga kabataang mamamahayag—mga kabataang piniling magsulat at kumuha ng larawan hindi lamang upang magtagumpay, kundi upang maging tinig ng mga kuwentong dapat marinig.

𝐌𝐠𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐩 𝐧𝐚 𝐈𝐧𝐮𝐤𝐢𝐭 𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐡𝐨𝐧

Bago pa man umabot sa araw ng kompetisyon, matagal nang nagsimula ang kanilang laban. Sa likod ng bawat talata ay naroon ang mga pahinang paulit-ulit na binura, ang mga gabing pinili ang panulat kaysa pahinga, at ang mga pagkakataong kinailangang pagdudahan ang sariling kakayahan bago muling maniwala rito.

Sa loob ng silid, hindi bilis ng pagsulat o pagkuha ng larawan ang tunay na sinusukat. Sinukat doon ang lalim ng pag-unawa, talas ng pag-iisip, at kakayahang gawing makabuluhan ang bawat salita’t litratong inuukit. Sapagkat ang isang mamamahayag ay hindi lamang tagapagkuwento—siya rin ang tagapag-ingat ng katotohanan.

𝐀𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨

At nang ipahayag ang mga nagwagi, hindi lamang mga pangalan ang umalingawngaw. Umalingawngaw din ang bunga ng tiyaga, pagpupursige, at pagmamahal sa sining ng pamamahayag. Malugod na pagbati sa mga nagtagumpay; nawa'y manatiling mapagpakumbaba ang inyong mga panulat at patuloy na magsilbing liwanag sa bawat kuwentong inyong tatahakin.

Ngunit sa pagtatapos ng LHSPC, walang tunay na wakas. Ang bawat kalahok ay umuwi na may mas matalas na panulat, mas matibay na paninindigan, at mas malalim na pananagutan. Sapagkat ang tunay na layunin ng pamamahayag ay hindi ang maunang matapos magsulat—kundi ang matutong magsulat para sa katotohanan, sa bayan, at sa mga tinig na naghihintay marinig.

The phrase is true: fiction often mashes with reality.

A few carefully drawn out syllables in a poem bears the same breath as a few quick words in an article about the travesties of being. A rhyme in a verse knocks the same punches as an allegory for starvation, written in a newspaper article for the sake of understanding. A stanza in unstructured prose, when written with careful juxtaposition, can land as smoothly as a simple essay about poverty.

Believe it or not, there can be no fiction without lived experience. There can be no portrait without a muse to have inspired it. Ms. Erica Crisostomo brings what pictures sometimes fail to convey: the gravity of written word in any format.

Blending two modes of journalistic medium, her literary articles are a feast for the soul, her DevCom essays a question for the mind. On this day of celebration and gravitas, may her heart be remembered in the midst of her talent. It takes blood to carry messages through the veins, and similarly, ink to deliver provocative sentences into the page.

Happy birthday, Ms. Erica! May your day be as wondrous as your written words.
