Unity in Diversity: URSM Lab Schools observes United Nations
By John Daniel SF. San Juan

On the 13th of November 2025, the University of Rizal System, Laboratory Schools, Morong Campus, showed the true essence of Unity in Diversity by celebrating the United Nations with the theme of “AI and Education: Preserving Human Agency in a World of Automation.” It took place at the Eulogio Amang Rodriguez Tanghalang Sining (EARTS). The event was organized by the UNESCO club with their respectful adviser, Prof. Raquel F. Llaneta, and club officers.

The event started with a prayer, followed by the singing of the national anthem, followed by the URS hymn and its quality policies. It then had its opening remarks from Prof. Meilyn G. Javier, principal of the laboratory schools, and an inspirational message from Dr. Jenisus O. Dejarlo, dean of the College of Education. The Masters of the Ceremony, Ms. Atasha Nicole Estrabo and Mr. Paul Bryant Geronimo, then introduced the Panel of the Esteemed Judges.

Afterward, the pageant has officially begun, starting with a production number from our candidates and their catwalks. One of the goals of the event is to show how we people can solve problems in our world. Our candidates showed their solutions by making an advocacy video presentation. They then showcased their vibrant and wonderful costumes for us to see the beauty of the countries they represent through fashionable outfits. Dances, singing, and acting were presented to us by our candidates during the talent portion, giving us meaningful ideas of their culture through various talents. After the talent portion, it is time for a battle of wits. The candidates were asked questions regarding AI and technology and how it can affect our world during the question and answer portion. Moving on, the awards and winners were announced. To officially end the event, Prof. Raquel F. Llaneta, adviser of the UNESCO club, wholeheartedly thanked everyone for the day well spent.

The United Nations aims to show how we can be unified as one for us to make the world a better place even though we have our differences. It also shows how innovative technology, namely artificial intelligence (AI), and human efforts can make a change in our world.

It is truly a day to be remembered, for the United Nations teaches us so many things about being united and how a united people can pave the way for a golden world.

In Full Color and Culture: Students Bring the World to Life in UN Parade
By Geoffrey C. Anacin

The campus transformed into a vibrant display of international pride as students from every grade level participated in the school’s annual United Nations Parade, an event celebrating cultural diversity, creativity, and global awareness.

Each class marched with enthusiasm, presenting the country assigned to their section through coordinated cheers, elaborate costumes, and carefully crafted backdrop displays. Managed and coordinated by the UNESCO Club Officers, together with their dedicated adviser, the parade opened with energetic chants echoing across the grounds as students showcased their national pride with synchronized steps and spirited performances meant to highlight the culture they represented.

A standout feature of this year’s event was the remarkable attention to detail in the costumes. The representatives wore outfits inspired by traditional attire from their chosen countries—complete with vibrant fabrics, symbolic accessories, and stylistic elements that reflected authentic cultural heritage. The array of colors and textures contributed to a visually striking procession that kept spectators engaged from beginning to end.

Another highlight of the day was the strong sense of teamwork shown behind the scenes. Teachers, parents, and student volunteers worked together in the days leading up to the parade to finalize props, adjust costumes, and prepare each class for their performance. Their support helped build confidence among the students and ensured that every group was ready when their moment arrived on the field.

Equally impressive were the intricately designed background structures carried behind each representative. These large and hand-crafted displays featured iconic landmarks, national emblems, and thematic scenery specific to each nation. Many students and teachers collaborated in the weeks leading up to the event to design and build these structures. The level of detail showed the hours worth of effort put into them and made the parade feel like a living display of global heritage.

The parade concluded with a unified march around the field, symbolizing international unity and cooperation—core values emphasized in the school’s annual UN celebration. Administrators commended the participants for their creativity and effort, noting that the event successfully highlighted both cultural appreciation and school spirit.

This year’s UN Parade not only celebrated global diversity but also showcased the talent and enthusiasm of the student body, making it one of the most memorable editions of the tradition to date.

ON THIS DAY

Soul and Memory: In Honor of the Faithful Departed
By: John Daniel SF. San Juan

In Christian calendars, November 2nd is often marked as a significant time of the year since it is when we commemorate the departed souls of our loved ones, thus known as All Souls’ Day.

In the Philippines, we celebrate All Souls’ Day—also called "Araw ng mga Patay" or "Undas"—by conducting a great family pilgrimage by going to cemeteries where our departed loved ones are at rest. There, we clean and fix their tombstones for our loved ones, we bring offerings like food and fresh flowers, and we pray for their souls, and there we stay beside the graves of our loved ones, where we bring chairs, mats, and food. These are very common practices of Filipinos during this heartfelt holiday.

This day of commemoration goes so much deeper than tombstone fixings, offerings, and cemetery visits. It is a commemoration of every special memory that we had. By offering the departed's favorite foods and flowers, it mimics how they used to eat and live when they were still in the world of the living. This day helps us connect with our loved ones, expressing our love and how we honor them even if we live in two separate worlds. On this day, we cherish every special moment we had with them when they were still with us.

A soul contains every memory of a living body, bringing those memories even in the afterlife. During All Souls’ Day, we honor those memories and moments we had with the departed through offerings and family pilgrimages. It is truly a very special day for every person who longs to connect and express all their remaining love for their loved ones who now rest in peace.

On This All Saints’ Day
By Alana Isabel R. Trinidad

Bless those who have gone before us,
Those saints whose smoke of faith showed us a glimpse of God,
Who gives us light once again—
Bless their lessons and their stories, as we honor them.

God grants their presence, a gentle breeze,
To blow away our tears and sins.
The memories of their love and light
Will guide us through our darkest nights,
That we may find peace once more.

We are the candles, lit in their name;
Our wicks burn bright with wisdom’s flame.
As we continue to glow, we shine their way—
Thanking them, thanking God, on this All Saints’ Day.
