Success is not always measured by a championship trophy. Sometimes, it is reflected in the dedication, discipline, and perseverance shown throughout the journey. Such is the story of the Sto. Niño College of Ormoc (SNC) ROTC Unit, which proudly secured 2nd Place Overall in the Regional Annual Administrative and Tactical Inspection (RAATI) 2026 with an impressive score of 97.02%.

Competing against ROTC units from across Region VIII, the SNC ROTC Unit demonstrated exceptional military bearing, teamwork, and professionalism. Their performance throughout the inspection reflected months of rigorous training, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Although they narrowly missed the top spot, the cadets proved that true success goes beyond rankings. Every command executed, every formation perfected, and every challenge faced was carried out with compassion, determination, and a deep sense of duty. Their remarkable achievement is a testament to the values that define the unit—discipline, resilience, and service.

Behind this accomplishment were countless hours of preparation and the collective efforts of cadets, officers, trainers, and school administrators who worked together toward a common goal. Their dedication enabled the SNC ROTC Unit to stand among the best in the region and earn the respect of fellow competitors and evaluators alike.

The entire Sto. Niño College of Ormoc community beams with pride over the achievement of its ROTC Unit. While the results place them second in the regional rankings, their spirit and performance embody the heart of true champions.

As the cadets continue their journey, this milestone will serve as a reminder that excellence is not only about winning first place but also about giving one's best, inspiring others, and representing the institution with honor and integrity.

Indeed, the SNC ROTC Unit may have placed second, but in the hearts of the SNC community, they remain champions.

Sa paggunita sa Araw ng mga Ina, binibigyang-pugay ang mga kababaihang nagsisilbing haligi at ilaw ng tahanan—mga pusong patuloy na nag-aalaga, gumagabay, at nagbibigay-inspirasyon sa kani-kanilang mga mahal sa buhay.

Sa araw-araw, makikita ang mahalagang papel ng mga ina sa paghubog ng tahanan. Sila ang katuwang sa pagpapalaki ng mga anak, sa pagtuturo ng mga pangunahing aral sa buhay, at sa pagpapatatag ng ugnayan sa loob ng tahanan.

Sa bawat bahay, ang presensya ng isang ina ay nagsisilbing gabay at sandigan, nagbibigay ng lakas, katiwasayan, at pag-asa sa mga minamahal. Sa pamamagitan ng kanilang pagmamahal at malasakit, nahuhubog ang mas matatag at mas nagkakaisang tahanan.

Kaugnay nito, kinikilala ang mga ina at ang lahat ng tumatayong ina sa tahanan—kabilang ang mga lola, asawa, at iba pang kababaihang walang sawang gumagabay, umaalalay, at nagmamahal sa mga taong kanilang inaalagaan.

Sa araw na ito, higit pa sa paggunita, ito ay paalala ng simpleng katotohanan na ang mga ina ay laging bahagi ng ating mga pinakamatitibay na sandali—sa bawat unang hakbang, sa bawat tagumpay, at sa bawat pag-uwi sa tahanang laging may kapayapaan at pakiramdam ng ganap na kabuuan.
