LITERARY | 𝗔 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿 𝗥𝗵𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗺

The morning rush of the hallway hits me the second I walk through the gates, bringing that familiar mix of floor wax and the humid July air.

A cluster of freshmen are frozen right by the main staircase, gripping their lanyards while frantically scrolling through room assignments on their phones.

A quiet knot forms in my stomach as I watch them, feeling the faint shadow of how terrifying these endless halls used to be.

Just past the main lobby, sophomores are casually leaning against the lockers, trading schedules and subtly judging the chaos around them.

They’ve made it past the initial shock of the drop, finally figuring out how to keep their balance on the steep incline.

Out by the quad, juniors are stretched across the concrete benches, laughing loudly without a single care about who's watching.

They carry themselves with that easy comfort, the kind you only get after surviving the hardest stretches of the journey.

I adjust the heavy strap of my bag, slowing my steps just to take in the steady buzz around me.

Every late night, every breakdown, and every brutal uphill battle on this campus brought me straight to this quiet stretch of floor.

The sky always felt way too far out of reach from down in the rough, but somehow I'm standing at the ridge.

I take a deep breath, letting the noise of the morning settle over me like a song I finally know by heart.

The stars never moved any closer, but through every rough mile, I somehow climbed high enough to reach them.

𝗕𝗘𝗧𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣 👯💛

It is said that we are the only authors of the book of our lives. We are the only ones narrating every moment, every memory, and every puzzle piece that makes life what it is.

However, the story wouldn’t be complete without the characters who helped bring our book to life, with their wit adding color to our tales.

From the soft doodles scribbled by our childhood friends to the mischief and woes penned by our teenage peers, our book wouldn’t be as remarkable without the annotations of their quirks.

every plot twist and turn, our friends guide us toward our character development. Whether in surviving academics or discovering who we are beyond the classroom, their bright personalities carve lessons that stay with us as out hearts grow old.

Today is a celebration of our true friends, the greatest chapters of life we’ve written with them.

Happy International Day of Friendship, Warriors! 🫂🤗

UE CDENT NO. 1 ☝️💜💯

Celebrating its continued legacy as the top-performing dentistry school in the Philippines, the University of the East (UE) College of Dentistry (CDent) honored the passers of the May 2026 Dentistry Licensure Examination during its Thanksgiving Celebration on Tuesday, July 28.

UE CDent was named the Top 1 Performing School after posting a 100% passing rate, with all of its 56 examinees passing the licensure examination.

The college also produced another topnotcher, with Dr. Elen Kiana Morados placed fourth nationwide with a rating of 89.90%.

Morados led the candle relay and the bonfire-lighting ceremony before delivering a speech addressed to the newly licensed dentists, the CDent community, and the University.

“This 100% [passing rate] is not just luck. It is the culmination of countless sacrifices, unwavering support, and years of hard work by everyone who became part of our journey,” she said.

Aside from recognizing the University’s faculty members, the topnotcher also paid tribute to the University’s security personnel in her speech, emphasizing that every person’s support contributed to their success.

“How could we not deserve it, when even our security personnel are among the first to greet us each day and the last to see us leave at night? They watch us rushing back and forth, looking exhausted after late-night practices, and somehow still welcome us with a smile.

“We needed the hand of every person who believed in us, guided us, and stood by us to make our light shine this bright,” Morados stated.

UE President Dr. Zosimo Battad, UE Manila Chancellor Dr. Louie Divinagracia, UE CDent Dean Dr. Iluminada Viloria, along with other college deans and University officials, attended the celebration.

The program marked UE CDent’s third bonfire celebration in the post-pandemic era, further cementing its legacy as the country’s top-performing dentistry school.

Since 2011, the college has consistently produced topnotchers in the DLE.
