As soon as the sun passed over the empty province, silence swallowed the night. Insects' chirping prevailed, faint glows of light illuminating, and darkness engulfing. In a small house cradled with light lived a couple minding the night as if it were no other. Half-awake in bed could hear someone chanting hello—tapping mindlessly at the window. Taking a peek was scary on its own, but this sudden alarm reminded him of a girl who once lay beside him.

Every color and every piece of paper we see, behind them are artists with imaginations beyond our own; incredible work for our fast-paced world. On this day, let us take a moment to recognize our artists. We celebrate not just the masterpieces we see, but the passion and integrity within them.

Art is more than expression; it can be through canvas, through words we hear in the theater, and through pictures captured through the lens. Art reminds us that beauty isn’t always perfect, but an attempt to tell a meaningful story in a world full of chaos.

Today, we honor artists who tell us stories using a brush and canvas. We mark this day as a tribute to every artist who continues to shape and give color to our world.

Let us remember that we may not be called artists, but we carry a spark of creation within us. In celebrating this special day, we celebrate the best of what it means to be human.

The cold wasn't just in the air; it was felt through my lungs, squeezing—slowly, unbearably squeezing. My flashlight swept through the gloom, and the beam caught on the shape of a hollowed-out chest. A single, rasping scratch made me flinch; a crooked bird was tearing at the exposed ribs, its needle-sharp beak catching the light. Then I saw the man's face: a sickening smile with a single tear frozen beneath my dim-light. The silence swallowed even the rustle of leaves, making the darkness feel like the beaks, pressing in.

From long hours of training to historic victories, she is showing that greatness is not born overnight—it’s built through passion, perseverance and purpose.

Trained at the prestigious Rafa Nadal Academy in Spain, she has developed not only her powerful forehand but also the mental toughness needed to compete among the world’s best.

Words that Inspire a Nation

Rising Among Asia's Best
Her recent accomplishments on the professional circuit have further attached her status as one of Asia’s most promising athletes. Beyond medals and rankings, Eala serves as an inspiration for young Filipinos, showing that with passion, perseverance, and heart, global dreams can begin right at home.

Serving Pride for The Philippines
