Humans have a unique ability to look into the future and imagine scenarios. This is helpful for planning, but anxiety weaponizes it. When we feel anxious, our minds create a highly detailed, worst-case scenario. We'd play a movie in our head about failing an assignment, getting rejected, or facing a catastrophe.

Senecaโ€™s point is that our body cannot tell the difference between a real threat and an imaginary one.

When we imagine that worst-case scenario, our heart races, stomach knots up, we can feel the exact pain of the failureโ€”even though, in physical reality, we are just sitting safely in a chair. We are experiencing the suffering of a tragedy that hasnโ€™t actually happened and likely never will.

In a display of deep patriotism and solemn tradition, Mandaue City College (MCC) held a ritual incineration of unserviceable national flags at the school grounds on Friday, June 5, 2026.

Spearheaded by the Color Bearer Marshal Corps (CBMC), the ceremony was conducted in strict accordance with Republic Act No. 8491, also known as the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines, ensuring utmost respect and final honors for the faded national symbols.

The event commenced with the final lowering and retrieval of MCCโ€™s primary Philippine flag, a silent witness to many generations of students through years of dedicated service. Before the incineration, CBMC representatives showcased various historical Philippine flags, including the iconic Katipunan (K*K) banner hoisted by Andres Bonifacio, alongside its historical variants, offering the audience a brief journey through the nation's revolutionary past.

The climax of the ceremony drew a reverent silence as the old Philippine flag was rested upon a cauldron and slowly reduced to ashes. Everyone in attendance stood at attention, saluting the burning symbol as a final tribute to its years of enduring service through rain and shine, through every triumph and adversary faced by the institution.

Following the incineration, the flag's ashes were carefully gathered and buried within the school grounds. Entombed in the very earth it once watched over, the flag found its final resting place, ensuring that while newer generations of students come and go, its legacy remains permanently marked into the institution.

To conclude the ceremony, College President Dr. Joey Rivamonte shared a poignant reflection with the community.

"Todayโ€™s ceremony reminds us that patriotism begins with respectโ€”respect for our nation, respect for our symbols, and respect for the sacrifices of those who came before us," Dr. Rivamonte said, as he commended the organizers. "Your dedication reflects the spirit of service and excellence that we continue to nurture in this institution."

The School of Education (SOE) conducted its Field Study Students Assembly, yesterday, June 5, 2026, at the Mandaue City College Student Lounge, bringing together third-year students who will become fourth-year students next academic year to discuss important matters concerning their upcoming Field Study deployment and academic requirements.

The assembly began with welcome remarks from Dr. Jeffrey Astillero, Dean of the School of Education. In his message, he encouraged the students to stay committed to their studies as they prepare for their field study and practice teaching experiences.

One of the highlights of the assembly was the election of officers for the graduating batch. Cherrylou E. Villegas from BSED Filipino was elected President after receiving 50 votes, while Andrea Fernandez, also from BSED Filipino, was elected Vice President with 43 votes. The newly elected officers are expected to represent the graduating batch and help address student concerns and activities throughout the academic year.

The discussion was led by Ms. Adeelle Galanida, who shared important reminders and updates regarding field study requirements, deployment preparations, and other matters related to the students' upcoming fourth year. Students were also given the opportunity to ask questions and raise concerns during the open forum.

The activity concluded with inspirational and closing remarks from Dr. Joey U. Rivamonte, College Administrator, who encouraged students to remain focused on their goals and continue striving for personal and academic growth. He ended his message with the reminder, โ€œDon't expect the highest level,โ€ emphasising the value of humility, continuous learning, and perseverance throughout their educational journey.

The assembly provided students with important information and guidance as they prepare for the next stage of their journey toward becoming educators.
