Mula Sinagtala, kauna-unahang protesta sa lungsod kontra korapsyon, hanggang sa resulta ng Frontline, naging tanglaw ang aming pahayagan sa malagim na kadiliman. Boses ng mamamayan ang bidlisiw sa bayang ginugulo ng mga balita’t salat sa katotohanan.

Kilalanin ang mga mukha sa likod ng kamera at panulat, na ang mga kamay ay puno ng tinta bunga ng mapagpursiging paghahatid ng katotohanan na lumalagpas sa anim na palapag ng dalubhasaan.

IN PHOTOS | 2,630 NSTP Graduates Answer the Call of Nation-Building

OLONGAPO CITY — A total of 2,630 Gordon College (GC) students gather for this year’s National Service Training Program (NSTP) Graduation Ceremony on Wednesday, June 4, at the SMX Convention Center.

The program commenced with an opening prayer led by National Service Reserve Corps (NSRC) Vice President for Logistics Luis Miguel Tupas, followed by the singing of the Philippine National Anthem, the Olongapo City Hymn, and the Gordon College Hymn.

NSTP Head Carlmaulen J. Cura delivered the opening remarks and presented the candidates for graduation, which was subsequently confirmed by College President Dr. Imelda D.P. Soriano.

In his message, Olongapo City Mayor Hon. Atty. Rolen C. Paulino Jr. emphasized the importance of making the most of every moment and encouraged completers to value education and face challenges with courage and purpose.

Dr. Soriano also addressed the graduates, highlighting that service is not merely a duty but a calling answered by the heart.

“This is not the end of the program, but the beginning of a legacy,” she declared.

With the theme, “Advancing NSTP Through a Whole-of-Community Approach: Honing the Youth as Pillars of Nation-Building,” the ceremony was graced by Senator of the Republic of the Philippines Hon. Ana Theresia “Risa” Hontiveros as the keynote speaker.

Senator Risa emphasized the importance of authenticity and presence in public service. Most importantly, the importance of showing up, reminding students to face challenges, connect with people, and fulfill their responsibilities as future nation-builders.

“Hindi perpekto ang Pilipinas, pero atin ito. Dito tayo mangangarap, dito tayo lalaban, dito tayo magmamahal, at dito natin itatayo ang mas mabuting Pilipinas,” she remarked.

The senator’s keynote address was followed by the awarding of certificates to completers of the Literacy Training Service (LTS) and Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS), led by their respective instructors.

The program concluded with closing remarks from NSTP Instructor Mr. Hubert Lew Magrata, who expressed his gratitude to the instructors and emphasized the vital role of the youth in nation-building.

The graduation ceremony was conducted in two batches, with the first session held from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and the second from 2:00-5:00 PM. | via Alyssa Marie Alcantara/The FOREFRONT

‘MAY LUGAR KAYO SA PILIPINAS’

Ito ang naging paalala ni Philippine Senator Ana Theresia “Risa” Hontiveros sa kaniyang keynote speech para sa National Service Training Program (NSTP) Graduates ng Gordon College (GC) ngayong June 4, Miyerkules, sa SMX Convention Center, Olongapo City.

Sinimulan niya ang kaniyang talumpati sa pamamagitan ng pangungumusta at pagkilala sa pagsisikap ng mga g**o at estudyanteng dumalo.

Kaagad niya namang ipinaalala ang responsibilidad bilang mag-aaral sa loob ng paaralan.

“Dito sa Gordon College, lahat ng mga teacher natin [ay] pinapaalala sa atin na kapag may tungkulin, dapat tinutupad. Kapag may assignment, ‘pag may note-taking, dapat kayong gumawa,” ani Hontiveros.

“Kapag may nangangailangan, dapat tayong tumulong sa abot ng ating makakaya,” dagdag pa ng senadora.

Binigyang-diin din niya ang kahalagahan ng presensya at pagtulong sa abot ng makakaya, pati ang pagharap at pagpapakita sa trabaho, sa kapwa tao, at sa mga tungkuling nakaatas sa bawat isa.

“Hangga’t may mga taong magpapasyang ‘pupunta ako,’ ‘haharap ako,’ ‘gagawin ko ang trabaho,’ may pag-asa pa ang Pilipinas, tama ba?” aniya.

Ipinunto rin ni SenRi na habang patuloy nating sinasabi na “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan,” hindi dapat nababahala ang mga ito sa pamasahe, pagkain, trabaho, at maging sa kalusugang pang-mental.

“Hindi puwedeng puro resilience ang hinihingi sa inyo. Dala niyo ang disiplina at ang tibay na hindi umaatras sa anumang hamon ng buhay,” ani ng representante ng Akbayan mula 2004 hanggang 2010.

Dagdag pa ng Women's Rights Advocate, habang siya’y tumantanda’y lalo niyang nauunawaan na hindi sapat ang pagkakaroon lamang ng boses; kailangan din itong sanayin at gamitin.

“Hindi dapat umaasa ang mga mamamayan sa diskarte upang punan ang mga pagkukulang ng sistema, kundi dapat mabawasan ng pamahalaan ang mga pasaning dinadala ng mga mag-aaral,” paalala ng kauna-unahang socialist senator na babae.

Bilang pagpapatuloy, ipinahayag din ng Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography na kung tunay na pahahalagahan ang kabataan at gagawing mas magaan at mas maaliwalas ang kanilang tatahaking landas, mas marami silang magagawa para sa lipunan.

“Hindi lang para pagaanin ang buhay [ninyo], kundi para mas malaya kayong makapagtrabaho, magmahal, at hanapin ang lugar ninyo sa mundo. May lugar kayo sa Pilipinas,” diin niya.

Tinapos niya ang kaniyang talumpati sa paghikayat sa mga kabataan na manatiling makibahagi sa paghubog ng mas maunlad na bansa.

“Hindi perpekto ang Pilipinas, pero atin ito. At ang sariling atin, hindi dapat iniiwan at pinapabayaan. Kapag magulo, dapat inaayos [at] binabantayan. Dito tayo mangangarap, dito tayo lalaban, dito tayo magmamahal, at dito natin itatayo ang mas mabuting Pilipinas,” pangwakas na mensahe para sa mga kabataan ng dalubhasaan. | via Alyssa Marie Alcantara/The FOREFRONT

NEWS | Student Leaders rise above barriers in Capacity Building 2026

OLONGAPO CITY—Mr. Jonas Dupo challenges student leaders to empower, elevate, evolve, and produce during the capacity building with the theme "Rising Above Barriers: Building Safe Spaces and Transformative Leaders for a Better Tomorrow", last June 1, at the SMX Convention Center.

According to Dupo, this capacity-building aims to provide interactive and engaging student leadership training for student leaders at Gordon College (GC).

“It may not be an easy feat, but it is rewarding and a blessing to those whom you have served,” the CEO reminded the GC student leaders.

The resource speaker mentioned that effective management is an important process to attain resources and meet organizational objectives.

Moreover, the Student Capacity Team Building generated activities like sharing leadership journeys and getting to know each other, which allowed students to share their individual experiences leading student organizations in GC.

During the resource speaker's presentation of the “Saan ka rito?” segment, he highlighted that all student leaders will have flaws, but it’s never too late to seek changes and improve.

He also mentioned that holding accountability is acknowledging the responsibility of a great leader.

“Leadership that leaves a lasting legacy,” Mr. Dupo instilled in the student leaders.

The annual Student Leaders Capacity Building and Team Building conducted by the Office of Student Welfare and Services (OSWS) has been an annual event that transforms student leaders with new perspectives and positive impact to embrace the new Academic Year. | via Lei Ydah L.
