โ€œPass-in-Review!โ€

As the command ripped through the air, the heavy silence of the DEBESMSCAT grounds was instantly replaced by the rhythmic, thunderous cadence of boots striking the earth. Under the relentless, scorching heat of the sun on April 12, 2026, the ground transformed into a stage of grit and glory. With every synchronized step, the dry soil rose in clouds, leaving the air dusty and thick โ€” a hazy veil that swirled around the sharp silhouettes of the marching cadets.

The spectacle was so compelling that it drew a crowd; fellow students paused their busy schedules to watch in awe, and even casual bystanders stopped in their tracks, mesmerized by the impeccable sight of cadets in pristine white shirts formally tucked into their pants, their hair tidy and neat, moving in perfect harmony.

This was the Regional Annual Administrative and Tactical Inspection (RAATI), the ultimate crucible for the Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa Sr. Memorial State College of Agriculture and Technology (DEBESMSCAT) Reserve Officersโ€™ Training Corps (ROTC) unit.

Success of this caliber is never accidental. It is rooted in the parched drill sequences and the sun-baked afternoons spent perfecting every salute. The jump from last yearโ€™s 87% to an outstanding 90.76% proved that the unit is on a steady trajectory of growth. It was a clear signal that the culture of excellence at DEBESMSCAT is thriving, even under the most demanding conditions.

For the uninitiated, RAATI is the โ€œfinal examโ€ of the ROTC world. Conducted by the Armed Forces of the Philippines through the 5th Regional Community Defense Group (5RCDG), it is a comprehensive evaluation of a unitโ€™s administrative management and tactical proficiency. To ensure a standard of absolute excellence, a distinguished inspection team โ€” including LTC Dennis A. Santos GSC (INF) PA, MAJ Oliver V. Usog (INF) PA, CPT Krescelle A. Renoblas (FS) PA, and CPT Aidan N. Sulapas (QMS) PA โ€” conducted a thorough and uncompromising evaluation of every cadet and record.

Behind the polished buckles and the sharp โ€œEyes Rightโ€ lies a story of pure grit. The tiredness and efforts of the students involved and faculty didnโ€™t go in vain. Every drop of sweat that hit the dusty ground during those weeks of rigorous training served a purpose. For the student-cadets balancing heavy academic loads with military drills, the stellar results made the journey worth all the effort.

This monumental achievement is a triumph that deserves to be wreathed in laurels and celebrated with the highest of honors, for it reflects the heart of a true patriot. Yet, even in victory, the cadets remain humble, carrying the spirit of true service to the community in their hearts. They understand that their rank is not just a trophy, but a responsibility to the people they vowed to protect.

These brave hearts recognize the hands that tap their shoulders in encouragement โ€” the people behind their success, their steadfast co-cadets who marched beside them in the trenches, and the mentors who tirelessly honed their skills into the sharp edge of excellence.

College President Dr. Arnel B. Millesca captured this sentiment perfectly, reaffirming his commitment to the program. By prioritizing ROTC, the administration recognizes that DEBESMSCAT is more than just a school; it is a domicile where transformation begins.

The unitโ€™s victory was bolstered by a โ€œfull forceโ€ display of institutional support. Standing tall alongside the cadets were Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Elreen A. Delavin; Vice President for Research, Extension, Innovation, Knowledge Management and Creative Works, Dr. Rodolfo B. Burac Jr.; National Service Training Program (NSTP) Director, Uranus E. Cantoria; and ROTC Component Coordinator, Wilfred C. Pagorogon. Ensuring the safety of these dedicated hearts, the DEBESMSCAT Red Cross College Youth Council was ever-present, standing by with vigilant eyes and ready hands to provide medical support amidst the sweltering heat. Their presence served as a powerful reminder that the path to the top is paved by a community that believes in the potential of its youth.

The inspection, led by COL Ronie T. Ebarita, was more than a formal check-up; it was a fruitful harvest of discipline. As the dust settled and the final scores were tallied, DEBESMSCAT stood alone at the top โ€” the number one ROTC unit in the entire province of Masbate.

The tired faces of the cadets, streaked with sweat and dust, eventually broke into smiles of victory. They have set a benchmark that echoes across the region, proving once again that when passion meets discipline, the result is legendary.

Truly, basta Debesian, Dabest yan! Snappy Salute to the Pride of Masbate!

If you squint your eyes enough, you can see the floating gas in the airโ€”indicating that summer is here. Students from the College of Business, Tourism, and Economics (CBTE) and College of Computing and Information Technology (CCIT) at Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa Sr. Memorial State College of Agriculture and Technology (DEBESMSCAT) endure this weather every day.

Since the first semester of Academic Year 2025-2026, the renovation of the CCIT Main Buildingโ€”more commonly known as the Blue Buildingโ€”has been underway. With their main facility closed, CCIT students have had little choice but to resume classes under temporary tents and share CBTEโ€™s building, or often referred to as the Yellow Building. This building only has four classrooms and two offices. With two colleges having more than 20 sections combined, fitting all classes into these few rooms within four days is nearly impossible.

To make matters more difficult, these rooms were not designed for regular lectures but for science laboratories. The classrooms contain long tiled tables, suffer from poor ventilation, and rely on improvised teaching equipmentโ€”whiteboards balanced on student chairs and televisions that no longer function.

To address the classroom shortage, tents were installed as a temporary solution. For several months, the arrangement was manageable. But as summer arrived, the situation became increasingly difficult. CBTE and CCIT instructors often hesitate to continue lessons due to the lack of suitable classrooms. Although the tents provide shade, the heat index makes it unbearable to stay even for an hour. As a result, some classes meet only once a week, aside from scheduling conflicts and overlapping workloads.

Instructors are not the only ones groaning under the heat. Students seated shoulder to shoulder intensify the already stifling temperature. They must focus on lectures, participate in activities, and rack their minds for recitations and quizzesโ€”all while enduring the scorching surroundings. Under the midday sun, the discomfort often tempts students to skip classes altogether.

Each tent is also shared by two sections, without barriers separating the classes. The setup is located in an open area along the road, making noise another constant challenge. When one instructor cracks a joke, the nearby class laughs along. Passing drivers slow down to stare. Even students determined to excel find themselves surrounded by distractions.

One AB Economics student, who prefers to remain anonymous, shared an experience that highlighted the situationโ€™s embarrassment.

The campus residents are not informed as to when the repair is supposed to be completed. The tarpaulin displayed in front of the constructionโ€”supposedly pitched as transparency for the projectโ€”did not include the contract completion date. This brought uncertainty to the CBTE and CCIT students and instructors regarding to when they could finally breathe from the crowdedness of their shared facility.

Mr. Joel, the foreman of the building repair, said that he had no way of knowing why the contract completion date was skipped blank. They were instructed to finish the repairs by March 22, 2026 but was delayed and moved to March 23-29, 2026. The foreman said that the cause of this delay was the lack of scaffolding. They managed to provide scaffoldings, only that they were only wood, which one might question, โ€œHow come this is the only provision when the contract cost was worth Php. 2,097,995.32?โ€

Students and instructors of CBTE and CCIT alike are now eagerly waiting for the completion of the renovations. Although the exact date of the end of renovations is not yet assured, they can only hope that they will make the most of the summerโ€”rather than let the summer get the best of them.

Ngayong araw, ating pinararangalan ang mga matatapang na bayaning nanindigang matatag at matapang; ang kanilang mga sakripisyo ay nag-ugat sa pagmamahal sa ating bayan. Ang kanilang pamana ay patuloy na nagbibigay-inspirasyon sa atin tungo sa isang masaganang kinabukasan, kung saan ang katotohanan at kalayaan ang naglalatag ng landas para sa pag-unlad at kasaganaan. Ang kanilang mga kuwento ng katapangan ay nagpapaalala sa atin na ang kabayanihan ay walang hangganan, at ang kanilang kaluluwa ay nananatiling buhay sa ating pusoโ€™t diwa.

Nawaโ€™y ang kanilang kagitingan ang maging ugat ng ating paglago โ€” na gagabay sa atin upang abutin ang ating mga pangarap at magsumikap para sa isang mas maliwanag na bukas. Gawing inspirasyon sana natin ang kanilang lakas ng loob upang maging katuwang sa positibong pagbabago, sa pagbuo ng isang bansang nagtataguyod ng kalayaan at katarungan. Nawaโ€™y maging bayani rin tayo para sa iba, para sa ating sarili, at para sa bansa โ€” nagpapalaganap ng pag-asa, kabutihan, at katapangan saanman tayo magpunta.

Huwag na huwag nating kalilimutan ang kanilang kabayanihan. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

Easter Sunday symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ upon dying in the cross. He risen from the death where we celebrates during Easter Sunday. It shows that God sacrifices his own beloved son to carry the sin of the people.

As we celebrate this day we glorify his sacrifices for the good of everyone, may this day became your time to strengthen your faith in him as he rises from the dead. Surrender your burdens to him as you praise in his resurrection thus, in every ways your heavy feelings became lighter by his grace as he return. May his resurrection became a light towards greater good in your life as we celebrate today and every prayers you wish happens in his grace.

A blessed and solemn Black Saturday to all.

Today, we remember the day when the world stood still between the sorrow of the Cross and the glory of the Resurrection. Black Saturday is a day that asks us to slow down and sit with what hurts. No distractions, no immediate answersโ€”just the quiet reality of loss, waiting, and the space in between. It is where faith is no longer about certainty, but about choosing to stay, even when everything feels unfinished and unclear.

In many ways, we all carry our own Black Saturdaysโ€”the seasons where we feel paused, unseen, or uncertain of what comes next. And yet, even here, something sacred is unfolding beneath the stillness. En la espera, el corazรณn aprende a confiar (In the waiting, the heart learns to trust).

DEBESIANS, let us gently embrace this momentโ€”to reflect, to realign, and to hold on to hope even when it feels quiet.

Not every chapter announces its purpose while we are in it. Some only make sense after we have walked through the silence. So if today feels heavy, stay present in it. There is meaning here, even if it has not revealed itself yet.

It is a day that, despite its solemnity, ultimately pacifies the soul by reminding us that even in the deepest shadows, there is a divine plan at work. When our hearts are rooted in this understanding, we find a tranquil faith that remains steady even in times of trial. We approach the cross with a quiet heart, seeking the grace that flows from this sacred occasion to renew our spirits and strengthen our inner peace.

In the presence of our kind and gentle dear God, we find the courage to see ourselves as every hopeful and lovely creature was intended to be โ€” valued and redeemed. Celebrating this day is not merely about mourning a loss, but about honoring the bridge built between humanity and the eternal. It is a powerful testament to a compassion that knows no bounds, transforming a moment of sorrow into the ultimate foundation for our enduring faith.

On this Maundy Thursday, we commemorate the washing of the feet and the final meal of Jesus Christ and his apostles, reflecting on the power of the Lord's love and humble service.

May we spend this day for our prayers and meditations.

Ode to a Devastating Beauty

How could the heavens grow so vain as to craft such beauty in flesh and breath?Perhaps the stars conspired with silence, borrowing moonlight just to trace your silhouette upon the earth. Such grace was not made hastily, but slowly, lovingly, like prayers whispered in sacred dusk.

O, your dark brown eyes โ€” deep wells where eternity seems to rest. I could fall into them endlessly, like a pilgrim surrendering to holy ground. They hold storms that do not rage, but hum quiet hymns of warmth and tenderness. I could spend lifetimes learning the language hidden in your gaze, for they look as if they have seen sunsets yet still choose to believe in dawn.

Your hair falls with the careless elegance of autumn leaves, as if the wind itself grew fond of you. Soft strands rest like forgotten poetry upon your brow, effortless as breath, as time, as the rhythm of a heart in love. Even chaos seems to soften in your presence.

Your face is carved like marble warmed by sunlight โ€” lean lines of strength, sharp yet softened by gentleness. Like art that need not shout to be admired, strength and tenderness exist in harmony within your features.

And your lips carry stories not yet spoken, softly shaped like unfinished love letters waiting for ink. I might joke about stealing a kiss, yet in truth I only wish to memorize the rhythm of your breathing, the silent language that exists softly between us.

You walk like a verse that refuses to be rushed, as if time itself slows politely to watch you pass. There is authority in your stillness, a confidence that does not demand admiration, yet makes admiration bloom without permission.

O, what cruel mercy it is to witness such beauty, to stand in the same world where you exist, knowing I can only write about you, never hold you in my hands forever.

Oh, boyโ€ฆ I fancy you. How could I resist the gravity of your being? You are art made of living breath, and I am merely an admirer with ink-stained fingers, trying to capture something far too beautiful to truly belong to me.

O, if the heavens had mercy, they would forbid me from loving beauty such as this too deeply, for my heart grows reckless in your presence. I would trade kingdoms, crowns, and seas just to stand a little closer to your shadow at dusk. You are the kind of beauty that makes poets forget how to breathe between verses, and makes stars jealous of the glow within your smile.

I would willingly become a devoted admirer of your existence, writing prayers disguised as poetry to praise the miracle of you.

For truly, and I confess with trembling admiration, you are not merely beautiful. The gods must have spent too much time crafting such perfection, as if they grew selfish with their creation, keeping beauty in one form when it could have been shared generously across the world. It feels almost unfair โ€” as if the heavens paused just to craft every detail of you slowly and lovingly, until beauty became something that breathes and walks in your likeness.

O, how cruelly blessed I am to live in the same breath of the world where you exist, to witness such grace walking among ordinary skies. For you are not just beautiful; you are beauty that makes poets believe in love again, beauty that makes even silence sound like devotion, beauty that makes my foolish heart bow without ever being commanded to kneel.
