Alex Eala’s victory was not just a win on the court, neither was it a match of serves and smashes—it was a milestone as she smashed her way into a historic triumph in Philippine history.

Philippine representative Alex Eala makes history as the first Filipino to achieve triumph at the Grand Slam Seniors’ Single match at the United States opening, competing against World No. 15 Clara Tuason, Denmark’s representative, in a nail-biting first round battle of 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (13-11) at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center grounds in Queens, New York.

The Filipino ace, who ranked 75th in the world, showcased dedication like no other as she came back from a 5-1 deficit in the final third set, forcing a tiebreaker between the two. With the support of the predominantly Filipino audience behind her, Eala pushed through the tiebreaker by forcing an error on Tuason.

The pride of Denmark, Tuason’s service went long, allowing Eala to flip the script, falling onto the ground. This win advanced her to the second round of the Grand Slam tournament on Tuesday, August 26 (Manila Time)—either facing Cristina Busca of Spain or Claire Liu of America—a chance to continue making history as the Philippines’ representative.

In line with its mission to cultivate and develop student-leaders to be future-ready, the Junior High School Students Organization (JHSSO) kickstarted its annual training named “SIBOL: Shaping Innovative Brilliance through Openhearted Leadership,” which invited all club officers at the Dionisio Sr. Hall last August 15.

Resource speakers included Jharred Lumbre, former Youth President of Champaca Three Youth Organization, who delivered a talk entitled “EMOTIONAL AGILITY: Leading with Adaptability and Empathy,” revolving around leadership.

“Being a leader is not just about the title or position, it is about facing the challenges, the doubts, and the moments when you are not enough,” said Lumbre.

A segment of the event included the oath-taking ceremony, where each club officer recited the institution’s official oath of office–thereby acknowledging their responsibilities as student-leaders.

Aligned with the goal to further enrich the student body, the JHSSO also announced its possible plans for the whole school year such as the revival of Thanksgiving Night, Prom Night, art competitions, sports activities, and many more.

Language does not only come out from one’s tongue—it is felt, remembered, and lived.

With the theme “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa,” this year’s Buwan ng Wika celebration honors the crucial role of the Filipino and native languages towards the betterment of national awareness and harmony among the people.

In line with the celebration, the Junior High School Filipino Subject Area prepared several activities such as the Kasuotang Pinoy, Piyestang Pinoy, and intersection competitions for each grade level.

In line with its mission to empower students, the Our Lady of Perpetual Succor College held its annual Junior High School Club Fair for the S.Y. 2025-2026 at the school’s gymnasium last July 31.

The event was facilitated by the Junior High School Student Organization, with their moderator, Angelo Zamora. Service teams were also assigned to promote their club—spanning from academics to sports.

“The club fair is crucial for the students' growth in terms of personal interests and talent. It was also a way for all the club service teams and the JHSSO to somehow build a bond because if we are going to be honest, we'll all be the ones helping each other to make the school year eventful and meaningful,” shared Raine Raña, the JHSSO President.

The first club period will begin on August 7 and then every Thursday for the whole school year.
