FEATURE | The Flame that Refuses to Die

Every November 30, the nation pauses to remember one name—Andres Bonifacio, the Father of the Philippine Revolution or the “Ama ng Katipunan”, whose 162nd birth anniversary this year reminds us that history is not a distant echo but a living voice we continue to hear.

In a myriad of classrooms, along crowded streets, and inside homes lit by dim morning light, we still ask the same questions Bonifacio once wrestled with: “Ano ba ang halaga ng paglaya? Ano ang dapat ipaglaban ng isang mamamayan?” His story feels old, yet the issues he faced remain woven into our everyday lives, the rising costs of living, uncertain futures, and voices that struggle to be heard.

Bonifacio lived in a time when freedom was only a hope whispered in the dark. Without wealth or influence, he carried only conviction. And from that conviction rose a movement that shook a colonized nation awake. Generations later, students continue to hear the message born from this struggle: “Walang sinuman ang dapat maging alipin sa kanyang sariling bayan.” The line may not appear in any book, but its spirit captures his message; no Filipino deserves to be silent, powerless, or forgotten in his own land.

Today’s youth might not wield bolos or gather in secret meetings, yet we fight battles of a different kind. Everyone experiences the pressure of expectations, the weight of responsibilities, and the fear that our voices may not matter. Still, Bonifacio’s story nudges us to stand firm—to speak without trembling, to question without shame, and to lead with clarity.

Bonifacio Day is more than a holiday marked with flags and ceremonies. It is a reminder that heroism is not reserved for statues or history books. It lives in young citizens who refuse to be indifferent. It survives in the belief that the Philippines becomes stronger whenever its people refuse to surrender hope.

As we celebrate this day, may we look at Bonifacio not as a distant figure carved in stone, but as a mirror. History may turn its page, but one truth never fades: no one should ever be a slave in their own land.

LITERARY | A Day Without Tomorrow

Before the sun dared to open its tired eye, I was already walking, led not by roads but by the tug of an unnamed longing. Hunger, yes—but a hunger that lived deeper than the body, somewhere behind the ribs, where forgotten songs go to sleep. It hummed quietly as I moved, asking for something I had not yet learned to name.

I searched among the ruins of a place that once breathed with life, between walls that had held laughter, past doors that no longer opened. The air, thick with dust, and a burnt smell, carried a bitter perfume that seemed to cling to everything—the scorched earth, the charred remnants of homes, the bodies still hidden beneath collapsed buildings. The morning felt heavy, like the day itself was grieving, burdened by the memory of bombs that had torn through the sky just hours before.

I brushed aside stones, dust, silence. And then, beneath a fallen shutter, half-buried in sand, I found it: a small tin can, its metal bruised, its contents barely enough to fill a child’s palm. Yet it felt strangely luminous in my hands, as though it carried a quiet promise folded into its weight.

Something fluttered in my chest—something like a bird testing its wings after a long winter. I slipped the grains into my pocket, imagining them softening in warm water, imagining the look on a small face brightening in the dimness of evening. I turned home with a rare lightness, stepping carefully over stones that had memorized too many endings—stones that had absorbed the force of bombs, the screams of children, and the silence of those who had been silenced forever.

But the wind shifted.

It was subtle at first—the way the air thickened, the way the ground whispered beneath my feet. Then came the tremor, that sharp inhale the earth takes before it breaks. The sky clenched its fist, and a pulse of light flared at the edge of the horizon, blinding and cruel, like the flash of an explosion that sears everything it touches.

I froze.

There are moments when the world speaks in a language only mothers hear: a sudden stillness, a silence that presses against the bones, a knowing that rushes in like cold water. I did not need to see the smoke, to hear the cries, or to witness the destruction. The truth reached me faster than any sound could. The grains in my pocket seemed to grow heavier, as if absorbing the weight of all the breaths that would never be drawn, all the tiny footsteps that would never return down the corridor toward me.

Somewhere, a child had fallen still. Somewhere, a name had been swallowed whole by dust and fire. The children I had seen—so many of them—running, their eyes wide with fear, their faces smudged with soot, some of them clutching their brothers or sisters as they tried to flee from the deafening roar of jet engines. And now, that terror had settled into the earth beneath my feet. I could not stop knowing that it wrapped itself around my throat, squeezing tight. The tin can knocked against my side as I moved forward. It was no longer a promise. It had become something else—a silent echo of all the things that could not be mended. I had walked this path many times before. But this time, the earth seemed to turn away from me, as though tired of bearing the burden of our steps. The silence was deeper now, and the weight of the air heavier. The horizon seemed impossibly far.

I kept walking, though I knew I would never reach home again—not the way I had left it. The child, who once cradled in the warmth of my arms, now lay within the earth's cold embrace, hidden among the ashes of a world that had promised to forget. And still, I walked. For there is nowhere else to go when all that is left is solely a path. There is nowhere else to go when the hunger, though momentarily quieted, remains, like a shadow that stretches endlessly behind.

In a land full of Shakespearean poem collections—there is one who doesn't simply admire them, but lives them. Princess Espigol—The Scroll Publication’s former Associate Editor-in-Chief, known as TSP’s Barbie—has made her mark as a true advocate of both change and love. And so, grab your bangles bought from vintage stores and an endless collection of transes, as she celebrates her 19th birthday!

Princess, or should we say, Barbie, is not one to blend into the background. She stands out—always poised, always remarkable. Whether it's an endless list of responsibilities or a myriad of deadlines, she meets them with an unshakable determination and a graceful flair. Each task, no matter how daunting, is a challenge she faces head-on, with a soul that never gives up. For Barbie, these are simply stepping stones toward something greater.

Her ability to juggle a multitude of roles—editor, leader, dreamer, artist—while remaining true to her heart is what sets her apart. She is a symbol of dedication, balancing her professional ambitions with her passion for making a difference. In her, we find a gentle reminder that greatness doesn’t come from avoiding challenges, but from embracing them with full effort and love.

So, as she turns 19, let us celebrate not only the remarkable woman she has become but the boundless potential she holds for the future. Princess, may this new year be filled with more triumphs and more of the extraordinary energy you pour into everything you do.

From The Scroll to you, Happiest Birthday, Princess!

ICYMI | Leadership Training Program 2025 Held at PCU-Manila

On November 21, 2025, The Philippine Christian University – Senior High School (PCU-SHS) Manila Supreme Student Government (SSG) hosted its 2025 Leadership Training Program, at the 7th floor of the Science and Technology Building. Carrying the theme, "Anchored in Truth: Leading with Stability in the Sea of Information." The event brought together Grade 12 student leaders and club officers to explore the importance of unbiased leadership and media literacy.

The program was formally opened by Ms. Princess Genevieve Estorninos,SSG Secretary, and Ms. Sofia Mariel Padillo, SSG Grade 11 Representative. This was followed by an opening prayer led by Ms. Mary Angela Piano, SSG Peace Officer, and the singing of the national anthem.

Mr. Marlon Anthony R. Tablante, Senior High School (SHS) Program Head and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Coordinator, welcomed participants and emphasized the training’s goal. "May you be leaders who will not use your position for personal benefit, but leaders who will stand for truth, fairness, and the welfare of our country," he said.

Before the introduction of the speaker, members of the Sibol Club led an energizing Zumba session, followed by a game that tested students' awareness in distinguishing factual information from misleading content.

The introduction of the speaker was delivered by Mrs. Rodina B. Autencio, Officer-in-Charge Supervising Principal (OIC-SP) of the Basic Education Department and Principal of Senior High School Department. She highlighted the accomplishments of Mrs. Efdellyn Del Mundo, Purisima and LPT, who has worked as a reporter, writer, producer, and researcher for TV5, GMA, and various news publications. She is also a certified life coach and assistant trainer who has facilitated national training in communication, leadership, project planning, and personal development.

In Mrs. Del Mundo's talk, she stressed the critical role of media literacy in an age where misleading information can easily spread. She compared misinformation to a shiny apple that appears appealing but is rotten inside, reminding students to carefully examine the information they consume.

She also emphasized the importance of servant leadership, stating that student leaders should serve as role models who can discern facts from misinformation. This was followed by interactive activities that encouraged students to reflect on the individuals who influenced their development as leaders and awareness about current national issues.

In her last remarks. "Be the best. Pursue a career in any industry that you like. Our country needs you; the world needs you. Help make this world a better place. Change starts with you."

After lunch, students proceeded to the main activity where participating students were grouped randomly. Groups 1 to 15 were each given printed leadership scenarios related to media, with the task of determining how a responsible leader should respond. Each group prepared a slogan and chose a representative to present.

An Evaluation Committee composed of Mr. John Paul Villalobos and Office of Student Affairs (OSA) Coordinator Ms. Rosemarie Ismael assessed the presentations. To keep the energy high, SSG Secretary Ms. Princess Genevieve Estorninos and SSG Public Information Officer (P.I.O) Mr. Gian Troy Mamangon facilitated a short energizer, “Decode the Headline: Reyal or Fakeh,” testing students’ ability to spot real vs. fake news.

Judges composed of Mr. Tablante, Discipline Officer and Filipino Teacher Ms. Jewel Pascual, and Grade 12 Research Teacher and The Scroll Publication Adviser Ms. Kaye Yabut finalized the scores. While waiting for results, facilitators engaged students in a reflection on their group performance.

The activity concluded with the announcement of winners, with Group 2 emerging as the highest score followed closely by Group 14 and Group 1 also securing a spot.

Mr. Villalobos delivered the closing remarks, reminding everyone that “leaders must be good stewards—unbiased in leadership, grounded in clarity, humility in dialogue, and standing firmly for what is right.” He also expressed gratitude to Ms. Ismael, leaders and participants.

The program ended with a closing prayer led by Mr. Mamangon and the singing of the PCU Hymn, marking the close of a day dedicated to character, leadership, and truth-driven media literacy.

The leadership training program highlighted the importance of leaders being unbiased and able to discern facts from a propaganda. Aligned with PCU’s core values; Faith, Character, and Service, student leaders are also expected to uphold integrity and prioritize the welfare of the PCU community.

OPINION | When Silence Becomes Violence

Violence against women is not just an issue—it is humanity’s oldest, ugliest, and most persistent failure. And every November 25, the world pauses to confront a truth it has long learned to live with: that women are still not safe—not in their streets, not in their homes, not even in their own bodies.

We call this day the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. A powerful title, yes—but how much power does it truly have if the violence persists long after the speeches end? Every year, we commemorate, we advocate, we gather. But the very need for this date exposes how deeply society continues to tolerate what it claims to condemn.

Because the reality is simple and brutal: violence against women continues not because it is unstoppable, but because it is allowed.

It is allowed in homes where a woman’s scream becomes background noise.
It is allowed in schools where harassment is mislabeled as “teasing.”
It is allowed in workplaces where reporting abuse is treated as a risk, not a right.
It is allowed in communities that raise girls to be careful but do not raise boys to be accountable.
It is allowed in cultures where shame belongs to the survivor instead of the offender.

We pretend progress is enough, but progress means nothing to the woman who sleeps with fear beside her. To the teenager whose trauma is laughed off. To the mother who hides bruises so her children won’t lose a father. To the student who changes her route every day because she has learned to exist in danger.

And the most devastating truth is that women have memorised safety rules more than their own dreams—what time to go home, what street to avoid, what outfit won’t invite comments, what tone won’t provoke anger, what lie to tell to stay alive.

Society has normalised fear to the point that caution feels like identity.

But violence is not just physical. It is emotional, psychological, institutional, and generational. It is every whispered insult, every stolen opportunity, every ignored report, every silencing comment, every unequal rule, every time a girl is taught that her safety is her responsibility while boys are rarely told the same.

This is not a women’s issue. This is a societal collapse. And it will remain a collapse as long as we keep mistaking tolerance for peace. Because, let us be honest: if society truly wanted to eliminate violence against women, it would not demand women to survive it—it would demand men to stop committing it.

And for too long, the world has placed the weight of prevention on the shoulders of those most harmed. We teach girls to be silent, safe, and small. But rarely do we teach boys to be gentle, empathetic, and accountable. We praise women for being strong when strength is often the only option we leave them with.

November 25 should not be ceremonial. It should be confrontational.

This day should force us to ask the questions we often hide from. Why does a woman’s first instinct after an assault often feel like blame—self-blame?

Why are victims interrogated while perpetrators are protected by the innocence of “Baka naman…”?
Why does society demand evidence of a woman’s pain but not accountability for a man’s actions?
Why do families protect reputations before daughters?
Why do institutions fear scandal more than injustice?

And perhaps the most important question: how many more women must break before the world finally breaks its silence?

Women are not fragile. Society is fragile—fragile in its ego, fragile in its traditions, fragile in its refusal to confront the systems that hurt women and protect abusers.

To eliminate violence, we must eliminate the silence that shelters it.
We must listen to survivors without conditions.
We must hold institutions accountable without hesitation.
We must raise boys without entitlement.
We must teach girls to speak before they are taught to endure.
We must understand that every time we excuse violence, we participate in it.

This is the responsibility of every citizen, every leader, every school, every home—because no effort is too small when the stakes are literally women’s lives.

If we want a future where women are safe, then we must create it—not with slogans, not with annual ceremonies, but with daily, relentless change. In our laws, in our classrooms, in our households, in our conversations, and in our choices.

Because violence does not end with awareness—it ends with action.

And so, on this November 25, let this not be another cycle of sympathy.
Let it be a rupture. A refusal. A reckoning.

Let it be the day we stop telling women to endure and start telling society to transform.

Because the truth is no longer hidden, gentle, or debatable. Women do not need more reasons to be resilient. The world needs more reasons to stop failing them.

ICYMI | Together Towards One Goal: UN-ITING Minds of Nation

On November 21, 2025, Philippine Christian University-Manila (PCU-Manila) Senior High School (SHS) students competed in the United Nations (UN) Quiz Bee as part of the celebration of UN Month with the theme “International Year of Cooperatives,” spearheaded by the PCU-SHS Social Science Club (SSC) held in Room 406 of the Academic Building.

The event opened with the welcome remarks of Ms. Laviniah Cielos, the SSC President. Ms. Cielos points out that the event is part of appreciation for the UN for maintaining peace in the world. Subsequently, Ms. Crissa Debolos, the SSC Training and Development Deputy Head, led the opening prayer.

Then, Ms. Cielos explained the mechanics; the Quiz Bee is composed of three members per team, and the event is divided into three parts. First, the easy round, composed of 10 multiple-choice questions, worth one point each; Second, the average round, consisting of 15 identification questions, worth two points each; and third and last, the difficult round, having five modified true or false questions, worth three points each.

Team One and Team Two advanced to the tie-breaker round. First place were secured by Team Two from 12-Hagar; Mr. Renel Carlson Habaña, Ms. Lindsay Dwyanecy Santos, and Mr. Eric Rodrigo Mag-isa. Second place was claimed by Team One from 12-Haggai; Mr. Jhansen Kristoff Alcantara, Ms. Samantha Cheri Aprecio, and Ms. Dionelisa Panganiban. Lastly, third place was awarded to the team from 12-Salathiel; Mr. Sean Matthew Bandejas, Ms. Hannah Grace Galvez, and Mr. Bien Charles Plamenio.

After the contest, Ms. Maria Aerial Abawag, former SSC Adviser, delivered her closing remarks. Ms. Abawag stated that the UN quiz bee reminds us of the important role the UN plays, adding that the most important thing is to be aware not only of the UN but also of our own country. She then shared a quote she always repeats; “[It is a great sin if you are not aware of what is happening in the Philippines.]”

The UN Quiz Bee is not just a competition of knowledge, but also a reminder for future generations to be aware of different issues in our society and to consider what they can do to foster international cooperation and continue the duty of building a bright future.
