𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭

Today, June 5, the whole world celebrates the World Environment Day. Rallying to this year's theme: Inspired by Nature, For Climate, For Our Future, we appreciate the beauty of our planet to face the environmental crises clouding our climate.

Every rock piling the mountains, every drop rushing through our rivers, every leaves brushing the forests are the very reason we continue with action to mitigate the degradation of our vast environmental covers.

As the earth continue to ring the alarm bells: rising sea levels, extended drought, stronger typhoons, we must carry the truth—our nature is central to our future.

No amount of gold will glisten as bright as the water in our seas, nor will buildings stand taller than the calm gentle hills. Today we indulge in the wonders of our world and walk her wellness through our works.

Together, our simple means will compound to a collective push for a greener and more sustainable communities. Sow the seeds, refuse the plastic and lessen the waste.

𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬

Some children learn to recognize the sound of sirens before they even learn how to write their names. Some become familiar with fear and agony long before they experience joy and serenity. These innocent lives are forced to endure constant uncertainty, never knowing whether another day awaits them. Behind every statistic is a child whose innocence has been shattered, whose dreams have been cut short, and whose fundamental right to a safe and peaceful childhood has been denied.

In 2024 alone, violence against children in armed conflict reached unprecedented levels, with 41,370 grave violations verified worldwide, a 25 percent increase from the previous year. Affecting 22,495 children, the most common violations involved killing and maiming, impacting nearly 12,000 young lives. Many of these casualties were caused by explosive weapons, landmines, improvised explosive devices, and crossfire in populated areas.

On this day, June 4, we observe the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression, a global observance that reaffirms the United Nations' commitment to protecting the rights and welfare of children. This day serves as a solemn reminder of the physical, emotional, and psychological suffering endured by children affected by violence, conflict, and aggression around the world.

No child should ever have to carry the weight of war or become a target of its violence. This day highlights the urgent need to safeguard young lives and strengthen collective efforts to end the devastating effects of armed conflict, ensuring that every child is given the opportunity to grow up in dignity and peace.

National Service training program -Civic Welfare Training Service (NSTP-CWTS) students of University of Nueva Caceres (UNC) has 1,348 graduates during commencement rites on May 29, 2026, which highlighted the image of good leadership.

Dr. Michael B. Mallari, the Supervising Administrative Officer of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Regional Office V in Legazpi City, emphasized the importance of unity, servant leadership, and collective responsibility in nation-building.

In his address, Mallari reminded the graduates that leadership is not defined by titles or positions, but by the willingness to serve others with integrity and compassion.

“Ang tunay na kampeon ay iniisip ang kapakanan ng nakararami at hindi lang ng sarili,” Mallari stated, encouraging the graduates to prioritize the welfare of the community over personal gain.

Mallari also underscored that unity and service require individuals to set aside personal interests in order to help and empower others, especially in an increasingly interconnected and complex world that demands leaders with vision, integrity, and genuine concern for humanity.

“True leadership goes beyond holding a title. It is about empowering others and serving with integrity,” he said.

He further highlighted that while individuals possess different strengths and talents, these become more meaningful when used in cooperation with others.

Faculty members, university officials, and guests joined the graduation, with the theme "Unity in Service, Excellence in Leadership,marking the culmination of the students’ year-long participation in seminars, capability trainings, and community service activities for Academic Year 2025–2026.

As the ceremony concluded, graduates were urged to carry forward the values of unity, excellence, and service beyond the university and to serve as role model of positive change in their respective communities.
