MHS, pinagbuklod sa Wika Fest 2025: Mga mag-aaral nakibahagi sa larong pinoy

"Masaya ako kahit papaano. Nakagagaan lang sa puso na hindi kinakalimutan ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika." Ito ang naging pahayag ng isang mag-aaral ng Matalam High School na si Joel Cordero mula sa ika-sampung baitang matapos makilahok sa Wika Fest 2025 kaugnay sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika at ipamalas ang pagkilala sa pagkakakilanlan, yaman ng kultura, wika at pagkakaisa ng bawat Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng iba't ibang patimpalak.

Ayon sa iba pang nakilahok, hindi lamang kasiyahan ang naidulot ng mga aktibidad kundi nagsilbi rin ito bilang isang pagkakataon na palakasin ang samahan at manumbalik ang mga alaala ng kanilang pagkabata. "Naalala ko bigla yung masasayang childhood memories ko dahil doon sa mga laro kasama ang ibang students".

Ang mga tampok na patimpalak sa programa ay ang mga larong pinoy na inilaan para sa bawat baitang kabilang ang mga sumusunod; Karera ng Sako para sa ikapitong baitang, Kadang-kadang para sa ikawalong , Chinese Garter naman para sa ikasiyam , Agawan ng Panyo naman para sa ika-10, ika-11 na baitang ang Maria Went to Town, at hilahang lubid sa ika-12 baitang.

Bukod dito, nagkaroon din ng ibang patimpalak na nagbigay-daan sa mas malikhaing pagpapahayag ng kultura at wika na bukas para sa lahat ng mag-aaral gaya ng Wikabooth Exhibit, Bidyo Kasiya, Tagisan ng Talino, Modern Harana, Sulkas ng Tula at Poster Making.

Sa kabuoan, ang nabanggit na pagdiriwang ay hindi lamang nagpaigting ng kamalayan tungkol sa kahalagahan ng sariling kultura at wika kundi nagpaalala rin ito sa bawat isa na ang pagkakaisa ay simbolo ng kalayaan at kapayapaan ng sambayanang Pilipino.

Matalam, Cotabato – In a bid to educate the youth on crucial life matters, the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Matalam conducted a timely seminar on Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health, and Teenage Pregnancy at Matalam High School on Wednesday, July 30, 2025.

The event was exclusively attended by Grade 12 students, aligning with the Department of Education’s efforts to integrate real-life, values-based, and health-conscious education in schools. Representatives from the LGU and the Municipal Health Office of Matalam facilitated the discussion, aiming to empower students with the knowledge and maturity needed in navigating adulthood and relationships.

The seminar was divided into two key lessons: the first focused on Reproductive Health and Sexual Relationships, which tackled the risks of early sexual activity and the importance of informed decisions; the second explored Responsible Parenthood, emphasizing the responsibilities and challenges that come with raising a family at a young age.

During the seminar, speakers also highlighted legal aspects related to teenage pregnancy, available government programs, and access to local health services.

An open forum segment allowed students to raise questions freely, encouraging honest dialogue about topics that are often left unspoken in traditional classroom settings.

Matalam High School expressed its gratitude to LGU Matalam for its continued commitment to youth education and development. The school’s administration emphasized that this initiative is part of their broader mission to create a safe and informed environment for all learners.

As teenage pregnancy continues to be a growing concern in the Philippines, events like this mark a proactive step toward prevention and youth empowerment at the community level.
