Weโ€™ve recently been reminded, in the most painful way, of how fragile life can be. The tragic accident in Pagadian City involving senior high school students has left a deep mark on our hearts. As we extend our condolences to the families affected, we also reflect on how we can prevent similar tragedies.

Let This Be a Moment to Pause and Rethink Our Choices:
๐Ÿ“Stay in school during class hours โ€” your education and your safety both matter.
๐Ÿ“If you ride a motorcycle, gear up. Helmets save lives โ€” wear them, always.
๐Ÿ“Respect speed limits. Roads are not race tracks.
๐Ÿ“Traffic rules exist for a reason โ€” follow them without exception.
๐Ÿ“Never assume โ€œit wonโ€™t happen to me.โ€ Caution is strength, not weakness.

Your life is not replaceable. One reckless decision can lead to irreversible consequences.

Letโ€™s honor those weโ€™ve lost by committing to do better โ€” for ourselves, our families, and our community.

Be wise. Be safe. Be responsible

Every July, we celebrate the month of nutrition.
Today, BCFi partakes in this celebration with a theme, "๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜•๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜š๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ, ๐˜Ž๐˜ข๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜—๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ. ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข ๐˜—๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฌ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ, ๐˜’๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜•๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ", which upholds a healthy spirit for every learner.

It's important for our campus community to recognize how nutrition impacts our health and academic success. So, to commemorate this day, learners and advisers from the Grade 7 to Grade 12 department participated in the vegetable and fruit booth display competition, cooking contest, along a feeding program from the Nursing department.

By engaging with these campus activities, may we remind one another to make healthier food choices, for us to improve our well-being, and write this day as another chapter full of enticing memoriesใ…กsupporting each other, throughout our journey.

Fueling our bodies with a balanced diet โ€” abundant in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins โ€” is key to a smarter diet. This nutritional foundation provides the sustained energy and sharp focus we need to excel academically and socially.

Letโ€™s continue to prioritize nutrition and encourage one another to embrace these healthy habits for a brighter future together in BCFI.

For years, Pinoy street food has been labelled as "๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜บ," "๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜บ," or "๐˜ฏ๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ต๐˜บ." But is that the whole truth or just another myth waiting to be busted? This Nutrition Month, we're serving more than just sizzling street snacks but also the facts.

Join us as we delve into the myths and truths behind your favorite Kanto favorites. From whatโ€™s in your kwek-kwek to whether fishball is actually good for you, weโ€™ll crack the rumors wide open and season it with science! Itโ€™s time to see street food in a new lightโ€”not as villains, but as part of our culture, and yes, even our nutrition if chosen wisely and eaten mindfully.

The long-awaited (and lowkey dreaded) 1st Monthly Examination is officially upon us.

This is your chance to prove just how much youโ€™ve learnedโ€”or how well you can guess under pressure. Expect the usual academic chaos: sa Math, hahanapin mo na naman si X na ayaw naman talaga magpakita; sa Science, magpapanggap kang naiintindihan mo ang laws of motion habang ikaw mismo hindi na gumagalaw sa pagod; sa AP, kabisaduhin mo ulit ang mga petsang mas marami pa sa naging love life mo; at sa Filipino at English, ready ka na ba sa mga tanong na โ€œExplain your answerโ€ kahit wala ka ngang sagot? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Laban langโ€”kung hindi ka sure, hula with confidence!

There's nothing more precious than being a part of something. I recall my days when I was in eleventh grade; I was a transfer student. I felt like I was not capable of making myself comfortable in a new surrounding, but my life shifted gently, and I adjusted well.

Every day inside the classroom, I can't help but glance at each of my classmates. I was mesmerized by how each one of us has a different life from the other. This makes me much more amazed at how we can gather together despite our differences, how we can create bonds amidst the chaos we've gone through. The knowing looks when something was mentioned are just proof that we all had a connection. What a nice day, every day to think we belong.

Within the four corners of an otherwise plain room, the people I am surrounded by make a meaningful difference, as they transform the space into something warm, vibrant, and welcoming. Even when examinations approach, or so we called 'hell week', and we are anxious about the results, someone always manages to lighten up the atmosphere with a joke and a laugh.

For ten months, each of us will see the same faces for more than five hours each day. It is truly remarkable that, despite the familiarity and routine, we manage to carry on without growing tired of one another. After all, we did not have the luxury of choosing our companions, but the thought itself holds value.

I did not expect that we would become this close. I feel as though I have grown through the experience of being with these people, having gained new ideas and perspectives on life. What a privilege it is to belong to something quite extraordinary.
