Bahagi ng pagsimula ng taunang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ngayong araw ay ang seminar ukol sa paggamit ng AI sa pananaliksik para sa mga mag-aaral na Vincentian sa Baitang 12. Ginanap ito sa Co Po Ty Audio Visual Hall, CT Building noong Agosto 4, 2025, mula 1:00 PM hanggang 4:00 PM. Nilalayon ng seminar na bigyan ng kaalaman at pag-unawa ang mga batang pananaliksik kung paano mapapahusay ng AI ang kanilang mga pagsasaliksik.

Ang programa ay nagsimula sa isang panalangin at pag-awit ng Pambasang Awit. Si G. Arnel Clavero, ang Punong-Akademiko ng Senior High School, ang nagbigay ng pambungad na mensahe, na ipinakilala ni G. Joshua Rosendal, ang tagapagdaloy ng palatuntunan. Sinundan ito ng pagpapakilala ni Bb. Wilsen Guamos sa panauhing tagapagsalita, si G. John Gurtiza, na siyang magtatalakay sa paksang, "Maka-Pilipinong Pananaliksik sa Panahon ng A.I.," na papaksa kung paano mapauunlad ng AI ang pananaliksik. Binigyang-diin din ni G. Gurtiza ang mga negatibong epekto ng kakulangan sa edukasyon at resources sa mga Pilipino.

Bilang bahagi ng kanyang presentasyon, ipinakita niya ang isang larawan ng mirasol, na nag-udyok ng pagninilay-nilay sa siklo ng buhay nito. Ipinaliwanag niya na sinusundan ng mga batang mirasol ang paggalaw ng araw, samantalang ang mga matandang mirasol ay palaging nakaharap sa silangan.

Isang malakas na mensahe ang umalingawngaw sa presentasyon ni G. Gurtiza: “Kailangang maghasik, magwisik, upang makasulat ng saliksik na siksik at mayroong bagsik ayon kay Almario, 2016.” kung saan ipinaliwanag nito na upang magkaroon ng pagbabago, kinakailangang kumilos nang matalino, piliin ang tama, at kung ano ang nararapat para sa bayan.

Nagtapos ang seminar na may panibagong sigla at layunin ang mga kalahok na mag-aral. Matagumpay na napag-ugnay ng kaganapan ang tradisyunal na pamamaraan ng pananaliksik at ang makabagong potensyal ng AI, na nagbibigay kapangyarihan sa susunod na henerasyon ng mga Pilipinong pananaliksik upang harapin ang mga hamon sa hinaharap. Ang pagsasama ng AI sa pananaliksik, gaya ng ipinakita sa Buwan ng Wika, ay nangangako ng mas mahusay at makabuluhang paraan sa mga pag-aaral.

“Ang wika ay siyang nagpapahayag ng mga kaisipan at mithiin ng isang bayan.” - Manuel L. Quezon

Ang pagdiriwang Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa 2025 ay pormal na sinimulan ng Adamson University Senior High School (AdU-SHS) sa temang "Panaghiusa: Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa."

Sinimulan ang pagdiriwang sa isang seminar na para sa baitang 11 na may pamagat na OPM: Lunduyan sa Himig at Kamalayan ng Mamamayang Pilipino na ginanap sa Co Po Ty AVR ngayong umaga ng Agosto 4, 2025.

Nagsimula ito sa pamamagitan ng panimulang gawain ng tagapagdaloy ng seminar na si G. Joshua D. Rosendal, kung saan ang mga mag-aaral ay inanyayahang umawit ng mga awiting Original Pilipino Music (OPM).

Sinundan ito panalanging Adamsonian at pag-awit ng Lupang Hinirang.

Pinangunahan ni G. Arnel B. Clavero Jr., ang akademikong tagapag-ugnay ng AdU-SHS ang pambungad na pananalita.

Ayon sa kanya, “Mahalagang pagyabungin at pagyamanin pa ang wikang Filipino dahil ito ang daan sa ating pagkakaisa at pagmamahal sa katutubong wika.”

Dagdag pa niya, ito ay daan tungo sa pagkakaisa sapagkat nakatutulong itong maunawaan ang kahulugan sa likod ng mga katutubong salita at maaari rin itong gamitin upang maipahayag ang ating pagkakakilanlan.

“Huwag lang tuwing Buwan ng Wika minamahal ang sariling wika bagkus, gawin natin ito palagi, sapagkat ito ang ating identidad at pagkakakilanlan. Huwag natin itong tuluyang kalimutan,” ang huli niyang pahayag.

Kasunod nito, ipinakilala ni Bb. Wilsen Dollie Grace Guamos ang pangunahing tagapagsalita na si Dr. Joel C. Malabanan, isang g**o, manunulat, kompositor, at mang-aawit.

Ayon kay Dr. Joel, ang musika ay ginagamit bilang kasangkapan sa pagpapahayag ng saloobin hinggil sa mga nangyayari sa lipunan. Sa kaniyang paglalahad tungkol sa kahulugan ng musika, sinabayan niya ito ng pag-awit ng mga OPM na siya mismo ang tumugtog at kumanta, kasama ang mga miyembro ng Mamulat, isang grupong makabayang musikero mula sa Philippine Normal University (PNU) na lumalaban sa katiwalian sa pamamagitan ng musika.

Tinalakay rin niya ang musikang makabayan o ang mga awit na nagpapakita ng kalagayan ng lipunan, kultura, at kasaysayan. Ayon sa kaniya ay dapat kilalanin at tangkilikin upang mapalakas ang suporta sa mga musikero sa Pilipinas.

Dagdag pa rito, ipinaliwanag niya ang iba’t ibang anyo ng musika: mainstream, alternatibo, at underground. Upang higit na maunawaan ito ng mga mag-aaral, nagbigay siya ng halimbawa sa pamamagitan ng pagtatanghal ng mga piling awitin.

Inilahad niya rin ang kahalagahan ng pagtatahip-dunong, na nangangahulugang pagtataguyod ng dangal, buhay, at ginhawa ng sambayanang Pilipino. Ito rin ay tumutukoy sa matalinong pagpili at pagdedesisyon ukol sa kung ano ang nararapat.

Inawit din ni Dr. Joel ang sarili niyang likhang awit na pinamagatang “Confidential,” na tumatalakay sa isyu ng confidential funds, kawalan ng transparency, at accountability sa pamahalaan.

Ang huling awit na kaniyang ipinarinig ay “Speaking English Zone,” na nagpapahiwatig na tayo ay alipin noon at ngayon, at ang pagbabago lamang ang tanging susi upang maputol ang siklo.

Pinangunahan nina Bb. Marjorie Antoquia, Dr. Nea A. Sualog (Punongg**o ng AdU-SHS), G. Arnel Clavero (Punong-Akademiko ng AdU-SHS), at Gng. Crisnalyn Peralta (Koordineytor ng Erya ng Filipino) ang paggawad ng sertipiko sa panauhing tagapagsalita na si Dr. Joel C. Malabanan.

Ang pangwakas na pananalita ay inilahad ni Bb. Wilsen Dollie Grace Guamos, na nag-iwan ng katagang: “Nawa, ang OPM ay ating maging liwanag sa dilim.”

Pormal na nagtapos ang programa sa pag-awit ng himno ng Adamson University.

Ngayong araw, Agosto 4, 2025 ay sabay na pinagdiwang ang Kapistahan ni San Juan Maria Vianney at pagbubukas ng Buwan ng Wika 2025 sa Co Po Ty AVR sa pamamagitan ng isang Banal na Misa na pinangunahan ni Rev. Padre Nelson Bisco, CM

Ayon kay Fr. Nelson, mahalaga ang pagmamalasakit at pagkahabag at ito ay maipamamalas sa pamamagitan ng pagtugon sa mga pangangailangang espiritwal at pisikal.

“Hindi kailangang mayaman ka para makatulong. Ang kinakailangan lamang ay ang pagkakaroon ng pusong handang magmahal at magmalasakit sa iyong kapwa,” dagdag pa niya.

Bukod pa rito, kaniyang inilahad sa kanyang homiliya ang kahalagahan ng pagkakawanggawa, na ito ay dapat magsimula sa tahanan ngunit hindi rito dapat nagtatapos. Aniya, nararapat na ito'y maipamalas din sa kapwa, lalo na sa mga nangangailangan.

Ang pag-aalay ay kinabilangan nina Gng. Crisnalyn Peralta, tagapag-ugnay sa Departamento ng Filipino, at G. Arnel Clavero Jr., Punong-Akademiko ng Adamson University Senior High School.

Sa pagtatapos ng misa, lubos na naunawaan ng mga mag-aaral mula sa baitang 11 ang kahalagahan ng pagkakawanggawa bilang isang paraan ng pamumuhay bilang isang naghahangad na sumunod sa halimbawa ni San Vicente de Paul.

𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠—𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡!

On Thursday, July 31, 2025, the Mass of the Holy Spirit was held at St. Vincent de Paul Parish to formally mark the opening of the new academic year. In addition, the mass was officially recognized by SHS Principal, Dr. Nea A. Sualog, to solemnly declare Academic Year 2025–2026 officially open. Three separate masses were prepared and organized by the AdU-SHS Youth Servers for Christ to fully accommodate all Senior High School students and allow them to gather in sacred celebration.

The first holy mass, held from 8:00–9:00 AM, was attended by students from the SENG, SSCI, and REGAM strands. The mass was presided over by Rev. Fr. Nelson Bisco, CM. The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit were offered by members of the STEM League, followed by the offering of gifts led by Mr. Alfredo Alcantara and Ms. Gladys Hipolito. The Pledge of Commitment, recited alongside the students, was led by SSG Vice President for External Affairs, Kristina Corazon Altavas.

The second holy mass, held from 10:00–11:00 AM, brought together students from the HUMSS, SSCI, and STECH strands. The mass was presided over by Rev. Fr. John Khongsai, CM. Offerings of the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit were led by members of the HUMSS Guild, with Dr. Nea A. Sualog, Sir John Joshua Shi, and Mx. Kim Victor De Luna as the offerors. The Pledge of Commitment was led by SSG President, Smile Perez Jr.

The final holy mass, held from 12:00–1:00 PM, was attended by students from the HUMSS, ABM, and ATH strands. The presider was Rev. Fr. Joel Rescober, CM, and the offerors were Ms. Iana Ryne Adorable and Mr. Mark Godwin Villareal. The Pledge of Commitment was led by SSG Treasurer, Yvonne Sabatin.

All servers, lectors, and other assisting committees were from the AdU-SHS Youth Servers for Christ, with the Psalmist and choir provided by the AdU-SHS Gintong Himig Chorale.

This sacred celebration not only marked the official start of the academic year but also symbolized the beginning of a new chapter in the SHS community, grounded in faith, guided by hope, and blessed by our Lord Jesus Christ.

"𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐰. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐤𝐚 𝐤𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐠 𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐮𝐰𝐢 𝐤𝐚 𝐧𝐚."

The word ingat isn't one of those words you say without feelings. It is more of a prayer, disguised as a casual "see you later." You say it when you know you can't be with someone, but you want them to keep a piece of yourself while they're on their own, because these days, there are too many things to worry about. There are too many people we cherish that we just can’t protect.

Maybe that's why we say it more often now, because danger is always in the air, our safety is no longer guaranteed.

Even as students, sometimes it hides in our normal life routine like going to the canteen, sitting in the classroom, commuting home, or laying down in our houses.

For some of us, ingat isn’t just about avoiding danger. It’s about surviving everyday problems. It’s about enduring rising prices, long hours of work, fear, loneliness, and stress. It’s about wishing the best for someone even when we can’t fix it ourselves.

Ingat.

That’s the perfect word to reply when you don’t really know what to say. We say it when someone opens up about their problems, and there is yet to be a solution.

We think these are just small acts that mean nothing, but we should realize how important it is to care for others in a world that often forgets too. The word "ingat" gives you hope that someone wants to see you again. Someone hopes you make it through the day. Words like these act like a shield that unconsciously protects ourselves. It is proof that someone out there deeply cares for you.

So next time you wish someone "ingat", mean it.

To some, it might just be one word, but it can make someone feel a little safer in this unpredictable world.

And that’s enough to keep them going.

𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐬

‎Every time the clouds darken and the first drop hits the pavement, we brace ourselves for the familiar: flooded streets, stranded commuters, and late suspensions. But what if we told you the truth is quite the opposite, that the Philippines has long been prepared, just not always supported?
‎
‎It begins not in the flood, but far before it. Somewhere in a quiet university lab, or in the calm of a weather monitoring room, Project NOAH is already awake. Created by Filipino scientists, this digital platform monitors rainfall, rising rivers, and flood-prone zones in real-time. With its high-tech maps, hazard layers, and rainfall forecasts, it’s more than just a tool, it’s a quiet lifeline. It sends alerts before the storm has a chance to speak. It shows barangays who’s at risk before the streets begin to drown. It doesn’t make noise—but it saves lives.
‎
‎Still, warnings are only one part of the story.
‎
‎Beyond the screens and satellites, physical barriers hold the line. In the city’s underground arteries, pumping stations roar to life, pushing back floodwaters that threaten to crawl into homes. Concrete dikes, floodwalls, and river channels stretch across flood-prone zones, silently working to keep waters in check. You may not notice them—until the day they fail. But more often than not, they don’t. They function quietly, without thanks, protecting families, schools, and neighborhoods from what could have been much worse.
‎
‎We already have what we need. That’s the truth. But the systems in place can’t work on their own. Digital tools like Project NOAH need consistent updates, funding, and public awareness. Flood control infrastructure needs maintenance, not just ribbon-cutting ceremonies. We need leaders who see these not as one-time solutions, but as ongoing responsibilities. We need communities who don’t ignore alerts, and citizens who treat weather forecasts as more than just background noise.
‎
‎The Philippines is not waiting for solutions. They are here. They’ve been here. We just have to support them, trust them, and most importantly, use them. Between the warnings we receive and the barriers we build, there is a chance to stay afloat—not just physically, but as a people who refuse to be drowned by neglect.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝?

President Ferdinand “Bong Bong” Marcos Jr. recently called on Filipinos to “shift their mindset" from reacting to disasters to preparing for them as the typhoons in the Philippines are becoming a new normal. While the message is well-intentioned on the surface, it places the burden of resilience solely on Filipinos, without addressing the deeper cracks in the nation's disaster preparedness system.

Statements like these don’t feel like leadership; they feel like deflection. And the President's remarks? They’re starting to sound less like concern, and more like someone painfully out of touch with the daily realities of the very people he’s supposed to serve.

Are Filipinos really the problem?

Mindset matters. Filipinos are no stranger to bayanihan, pakakawanggawa, to have courage in the face of rising waters, and to laugh amid mud and ruin. But asking us to “prepare” more, as if we haven't been doing that for generations, feels hollow when the system meant to serve us remains underfunded, deprioritized, and in many ways broken.

Where's the call for government accountability? Where is the mention of urban planning, sustainable drainage or the flood control system that doesn't collapse every rainy season? Filipinos aren’t lacking in readiness. What we lack is infrastructure that works. What we lack is consistency. What we lack is trust, because time and time again, we are told to adjust while those in power stay comfortably dry.

Don’t preach preparedness to the people who are already drowning, literally and figuratively, without also confronting the decades of government negligence that keep us submerged.

To truly face the “inevitable,” we need more than a change in perspective, we need a change in priorities. We need leaders who walk their talk, budgets that go to where they're truly needed, and policies that treat climate disasters not as seasonal surprises but as daily threats requiring long-term solutions.

Preparedness should not be a privilege. It should be a right, backed by leadership that doesn’t just urge change from the people, but delivers it from the top.

Mindset won’t build levees.
Mindset won’t raise the roads.
Mindset won’t bring justice for every life lost due to inaction.

We need more than slogans.
We need action.

We’ve done our part.

Now it’s your move, Mr. President.

‎
‎Hopefully all of you are safe and dry during this season. Praying for the safety of all our fellowmen in this trying time.
‎
‎Rainy days have a way of making us feel things —whether it’s the calm, the sudden temperature change, or the unexpected loneliness that hits different when the skies are grey.
‎
‎Got caught in the rain without an umbrella?

Stayed in and reflected on life while listening to raindrops?

Feeling for everyone who seeks for shelter and comfort during rainy days?

Or maybe the weather just reminded you of something… or someone?
‎
‎Tell us about it.
‎Your Ulan Diary can be anything — a story, a sentiment, a thought, a memory, or even a quiet moment you won’t forget.
‎Let’s turn the rain into something we can share.
‎
‎Submit your story through the GForm until 11:59PM tomorrow, July 24, 2025!
