| Mamamahayag bilang ilaw sa dilim ng misimpormasyon, tanglaw sa mapagpalayang katotohanan.

Ngayong araw, ipinagdiriwang natin ang International Journalist Day—isang espesyal na okasyon upang gunitain ang mga mamamahayag at ang kanilang mahalagang ambag sa patuloy na pagbibigay-liwanag at katotohanan sa gitna ng kadiliman, ingay, at maling impormasyon.

Itinataguyod ng bawat mamamahayag ang pagbibigay-diin sa kahalagahan ng wasto at mapanuring pag-uulat. Kinikilala ng araw na ito ang mga mamamahayag na buong tapang na nagbubunyag ng katiwalian, lumalaban sa maling impormasyon, at naglalahad ng mga kuwento na may tunay na kabuluhan.

Kasama ang mga mamamahayag sa buong mundo, ang The Naga Collegian (TNC), opisyal na pang-estudyanteng pahayagan ng Naga College Foundation, Inc., ay nagbibigay-pugay sa walang hanggang ambag ng midya sa pagbubuo ng maalam at demokratikong lipunan. | via Aleah F. Quiamno, Junior Broadcaster

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | Hope dies last

There are films you simply watch, and then there are films that make you feel like you’re home.

Meet, Greet, and Bye sets a warm tone from the very beginning—so warm, that you start to feel like you’re sitting in the Facundos’ living room yourself. The story does not just unfold in front of you; it unfolds around you, making you part of the family, letting you claim the story as if it were your own.

Every dialogue hits close to the heart. Not because it’s dramatic, but because it’s true.

Whether you’re the eldest carrying more weight than you admit, the middle child navigating the space between being seen and forgotten, or the youngest trying to protect the softness you still have left—there is a piece of you somewhere in this film. And the movie knows this. It speaks to you quietly, almost personally, as if saying, “I see you. I know you.”

Because the truth is—even if siblings grow up together, share the same dining table, sleep under the same roof, laugh at the same jokes—life eventually sends them in different directions. You grow apart. You take separate paths. You become strangers in ways you never intended. And no matter how many years you've shared, there will always be parts of each other you never fully knew: the hidden pains, the silent struggles, the words swallowed because speaking them might hurt more than staying quiet.

But Meet, Greet, and Bye, under the direction of Cathy Garcia-Sampana, reminds us why families still try anyway. Her storytelling here is a masterpiece—gentle, aching, and full of truth. It honors a reality we often ignore: no love in the world compares to a mother’s love, especially when time begins to run out.

There’s this line every Filipino child knows too well—“Anak mo rin naman ako, ’di ba? Nakikita niyo rin ba ako?” It’s a plea. A confession. A wound.

It’s the line of the child who feels unseen, the child who wants to be chosen for once, the child who hides the hurt behind a joke, the child who pretends not to care—and yes, even the child who is the favorite but carries the guilt for it.

But in the middle of all the laughter, pain, and small acts of courage, one question lingers: Will the mother ever meet her beloved Korean idol before she says goodbye?

It’s the wish that holds the family together—the spark that makes them run, fight, hope, and believe, even when time seems to be running faster than their efforts.

And maybe that’s where the magic of Meet, Greet, and Bye truly lies. The title itself teases you, tempts you, makes you wonder whether the story will break your heart or stitch it back together.

This movie isn’t just for the forgotten ones or the cool ones or the strong ones. It’s for every child who has ever loved a parent quietly. It’s for every family trying to hold itself together despite the cracks.

A movie that doesn’t just make you cry—it makes you remember. It reminds you why you stay, why you forgive, and why you keep on fighting. It reminds you that family, no matter how messy, is still the place where hope—against all odds—dies last. | via Maricar Nuiz, Features Editor

| PAGASA hoists Signal No. 4 over 4 areas as Uwan nears Bicol

As Typhoon Uwan intensifies, at least four areas in Bicol Region are now placed under Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 4, the state weather bureau PAGASA said in its 2 a.m. advisory on November 9, 2025.

𝗧𝗖𝗪𝗦 𝗡𝗼. 𝟰 is hoisted over the following areas in Bicol Region:
• The southeastern portion of Camarines Norte (Mercedes, Basud, Daet, Talisay, Vinzons),
• the eastern portion of Camarines Sur (Sagñay, Tigaon, Goa, Calabanga, Tinambac, Siruma, Lagonoy, Garchitorena, San Jose, Presentacion, Caramoan, Cabusao),
• Catanduanes, and
• the eastern portion of Albay (Rapu-Rapu, Bacacay, City of Tabaco, Malilipot, Malinao, Tiwi)

Meanwhile, 𝗧𝗖𝗪𝗦 𝗡𝗼. 𝟯 is raised over:
• the rest of Camarines Norte,
• the rest of Camarines Sur,
• the rest of Albay,
• Sorsogon,
• and Ticao and Burias Islands

In addition, 𝗧𝗖𝗪𝗦 𝗡𝗼. 𝟮 covers mainland Masbate.

The center of the eye of Typhoon UWAN was last located at 370 km East of Virac, Catanduanes.

It is moving west northwestward at 35 km/h while packing maximum sustained winds of 165 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 205 km/h.

PAGASA forecasts that the center of the eye of Uwan may pass near Catanduanes this morning and make landfall over Aurora in the evening or tomorrow early morning.

"Due to its proximity, a direct hit (i.e., eyewall affecting the area without making landfall) or a landfall scenario over Catanduanes is not ruled out," PAGASA added.

Batay sa forecast track, posibleng dumaan nang napakalapit ang mata ng bagyo sa Catanduanes bukas ng umaga bago ito tumama sa kalupaan ng timog Isabela o hilagang Aurora bukas ng gabi, Nobyembre 9, o Lunes ng madaling-araw.

The center of Uwan could make landfall over the southern portion of Isabela or the northern portion of Aurora tomorrow (09 November) late in the evening or early Monday morning.

PAGASA added that Uwan is forecast to rapidly intensify and may reach super typhoon category tonight or tomorrow morning.
