At sa pagtatapos ng halos isang linggong "Kaogma-han," nananatiling lugmok ang probinsya ng Camarines Sur sa mga isinantabing krisis na pilit pinagtakpan ng pinarangyang pagdiriwang.

Sa taon-taong pananalasa ng mga bagyo sa ating bansa, isa ang agrikultura sa pinakaapektadong sektor. Ngunit higit pa sa mga sakunang dulot ng kalikasan ang pasakit na kinahaharap ng ating mga magsasaka. Paano nga ba mapananatiling buhay ang lupa kung ang mismong mga kamay na bumubungkal dito ay unti-unti nang nababaon sa hirap?

Tunghayan ang iStorya ng mga magsasakang unti-unting nilulunod ng kalamidad, utang, at mababang presyo ng ani habang pilit na bumabangon at kumakapit sa pag-asang maiaahon pa ang kanilang kabuhayan.

The CSPC Blue Stallions Swimming Team is set to conduct its official tryouts on June 3, 2026, at Macagang Hotel and Resort, starting at 8:00 a.m. onwards.

The tryouts are open to aspiring student-athletes who are willing to represent CSPC in swimming competitions and athletic meets.

Incoming first-year students who wish to participate must have passed the CSPC-CET.

Participants are required to bring proper swimming attire and gear, including goggles and swim caps.

In addition, the pool venue entrance fee will be shouldered individually by the tryout participants.
