The main principle is to continue education whenever conditions allow while prioritizing the safety and well-being of students and teachers by adjusting learning based on their safety, readiness, well-being, and needs during emergencies.

๐‘ฒ๐‘ถ๐‘ณ๐‘ผ๐‘ด | Sabi ng matatanda, habang may buhay, may pag-asa. Ngunit para kay Bobet, kahit matagal na niyang nilisan ang mundo, marami pa rin ang umaasa sa kanyang alaala. May mga umaasang kikita at aasenso, may mga umaasang sisikat at magiging tanyag ang pangalan, may umaasang magkaroon ng tinig sa isang usaping hindi naman kanila, at mayroon ding mga umaasang madaragdagan ang itim na marka sa kanilang mga balota.

Ang masakit na katotohanan ay kung gaano kadaling mabulag ang lipunan sa ningning ng panibagong usapin, ay ganoon din kadaling nabubura ang hangganan ng tunay na pakikiramay at ng hayag na pananamantala.

What truly classifies someone as a hero?

Dying does not automatically make someone a hero. Neither does holding public office, winning elections, possessing a famous surname, having a cardboard standee on every corner, or having thousands of followers. Heroism demands more than recognition. It requires the courage to stand for something greater than oneselfโ€”the willingness to sacrifice personal comfort for others, and the conviction to act when remaining silent would be easier. Ninoyโ€™s significance, therefore, should not be measured merely by the fact that he died, but by what his life, his choices, and ultimately his death awakened in the Filipino people.

With every choice comes great responsibility. Every great enterprise begins with a bold vision, a strategic pivot, and a leap of faith. For one of Lourdes School of Mandaluyongโ€™s newest teachers, Sir Jed, the journey into the academic world wasnโ€™t just a career switch, it launched him into a brand new day.

As the current school year trades actively, our young entrepreneur leaves his consumers with a blueprint for success:

Ibarra never got the chance to experience his school prospering in education, but Sir Rafa gets to experience that every single day, five days a week โ€“ in a classroom thatโ€™s far from fiction.

For Lourdesians, these lines of our Creed are tested not during general assemblies, but in how we respond to the state of our nation. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.โ€™s fifth State of the Nation Address on July 27, 2026, mapped out state policies on school infrastructure, commodity prices, and youth development that reach far beyond the halls of the Batasang Pambansa.

As part of the youth nearing voting age, understanding these national issues is our direct responsibility. Staying aware is how we honor our commitment to be proactive citizensโ€”ensuring that when we cast our first ballots, we do so as a new generation of mindful, responsible voters who lead with a heart for service rather than a closed fist.
