𝐇𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐟𝐟 marches with determination.
𝐆𝐫𝐲𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫 roars with courage.
𝐑𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐰 soars with wit.
𝐒𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧 strikes with ambition.

Divided by houses, yet united by the ambition for victory. The battlefield awaits the brave and the bold. With banners raised and hopes high, each house charges into the challenge. But when the dust settles, only one shall stand victorious. Who will clinch the banner of glory?

Two teams from the College of Information Technology proved their cybersecurity prowess on the national stage, securing 6th and 13th place out of 199 competing groups in the Trend Micro 2025 University Capture the Flag (UCTF) competition held online last August 22, 2025.

MLUC tr0jans, composed of Jan Jeffrie G. Salloman, Miggell Tippi L. Tobias, Mawel O. Aban, and Achilles Rex A. Flores, battled their way to 6th place, earning recognition as one of the most formidable squads in the contest.

Being second time participants, Jan Jeffrie Salloman, leader of the team, said that they were more calm now compared to their first year, "we just spray and prayed, but now, we know how to properly approach and solve a challenge." He said, proudly.

Meanwhile, for AtarashiTeam, with Jerimie C. Casugay, Lance Renielle Z. Apigo, Earl Louie S. Sobremonte, and Charles Adam C. Chan, the Trend Micro 2025 UCTF was their first-ever Capture the Flag experience. Despite being newcomers, the group secured an impressive 13th place finish against nearly 199 seasoned competitors.

Apigo, leader of AtarashiTeam, commented on their team's success, "Goal nga lang namin pumasok sa top 100... finishing 13th in this event shows us how much potential we have to reach greater heights." He added that this is not their last time competing--"We'll keep working hard until we make it".

With both teams, mentored by Dr. Alvin R. Malicdem, they demonstrated sharp analytical abilities and perseverance during the competition, which evaluated players on pe*******on testing, digital forensics, and network security at easy, medium, and hard levels of difficulty. Their success not only brings recognition to the university, but also inspires the next generation of students to excel in cybersecurity.

Trend Micro UCTF is a premier event that gathers the best and brightest student cybersecurity enthusiasts in the country. With only one hour to solve challenges and capture digital “flags,” teams demonstrated not only technical knowledge but also collaboration and strategic problem-solving under pressure. # # #

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺

In no time, the moon has completed another cycle. The sun has resumed its daily rounds of shine and the flooring has reclaimed its clean state, but in the corners of the room lie the remains of a memory I cannot remove just yet.

Everything around me has become a reminder. Even in the stillness of the night, the silence betrays me—the quiet hum of air, the faint shiver of leaves, the weight of memory pressing close. Flashes of that night come back as sharp cascading moments of how everything went downhill. I recall the moon had gleamed unusually radiant as its last gift, before the heavens faded into dull grays and eerie hues of terror.

I jolt, waking up to windows clanking against their frames, to winds raging through the hollow breaks of concrete. The walls, born of my father’s calloused hands–the ones I had trusted as my refuge–crumbled weak and fragile. Raindrops were needling my skin as I stood unshielded; the water rising cold around my bare feet as we struggled to save what little we could. 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁.

I try to push down the fear that it comes back–one heavy rain, and I return to the night where the winds howled like devils, the heavy storm a pack of arms prying open the security of the unfortunate.

But the usual routine of traffic, opened books and sleepy lectures have taken me back to what I was used to. The stripped trees and tangled electrical posts are remnants of the pandemonium that I woke up to one moon ago. Downed signages and ripped banners still linger in the open sky; some buildings carry the weight of workers on the roofs, patching up the upheaval of Emong. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝘂𝗶𝗻: one step more to recovery, 𝗮 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.

The droplets that seep in between the ceiling cracks are a small reminder that there is yet to be done, a few more hammering, plenty more rewiring but 𝘄𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝘂𝘀.

As the waves folded into rest, children have once again run along the shore that once swelled with water. The greenery gradually unfurled along broken branches, and the light has seeped its way into the cracks of unlit homes. Slowly, we picked up the broken wood and torn roofs, resuming, rebuilding with little fragments of hope. Though the storm had cast us a hundred steps behind, and all we could do is hope–we lived. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹.

Tuwing huling Lunes ng Agosto, ipinagdiriwang natin ang Pambansang Araw ng mga Bayani. Hindi lamang ito para sa mga kilalang pangalan sa kasaysayan, kundi para rin sa mga tahimik na nag-alay ng kanilang buhay at nagsakripisyo para sa bayan.

Sa bawat panahon ay may mga bagong bayani—mga naglilingkod, nagsasakripisyo, at inuuna ang kapakanan ng kapwa bago ang sarili. Ang araw na ito ay paalala upang ating gunitain at pahalagahan ang kanilang mga sakripisyo.

Ang kabayanihan ay hindi lamang nasusulat sa mga pahina ng kasaysayan; ito rin ay nasasaksihan sa ating tahanan, sa komunidad, at sa bawat pusong handang maglingkod para sa kapwa. | 𝘷𝘪𝘢 𝘋𝘦𝘯 𝘈𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘰

On this day, August 21, 2025, we commemorate a brave soul who fought for the justice of his fellow Filipinos. Through his efforts against the oppression of the corrupt politicians in his era, the Philippines soon broke free of the shackles that bound them in a dark time.

May his untimely demise and courage remind us to speak for ourselves in moments where we are belittled and silenced. Let us remember him as a figure of boldness that we should embody in our lives.
