It is in your stern teachings that we learn to push ourselves; how you instill knowledge, impart wisdom, and hone our skills, all to shape us to become the best versions of who we can be. You help us find the courage to be more, to reach heights you know we can stand on.

When you walk into the classroom, you see stars instead of students, each with their own unique spark of potential and each a future sun in their own right. Through your methods, you aid these students to be professionals who lead with passion, carrying the values of faith, service, and communion everywhere they go.

With the importance you hold in our lives, it's hard to remember that you are so much more than a mentor—that you are also a role model outside the little space of a classroom. A parent, a sibling, an upstanding citizen of society. From our perspective, you are the paragon that we should follow—unthinking that you are also a human.

𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭. The tiring nights you spend preparing lessons, grading endless activities, your voice strained by lectures—the efforts you exert every day does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

Aiming to create safe spaces where students can engage with mental health awareness, 3rd Year Psychology students from La Salle University - Ozamiz set up booths in observance of the upcoming World Mental Health Day this October 10.

This activity was part of their requirements for their Elective Course I - Group Dynamics Class, intended to celebrate with the Lasallian community and promote mental health advocacy.

The initiative simultaneously featured two booths stationed at the LSU Facade and at the entrance of the SJ Building on October 3, 2025.

Station 1 gave away bookmarks with motivational quotes and bible verses, brochures with mental health information and resources, an affirmation station where students can write affirmations and display them on the "Wall Of Positivity," and a prayer box for students to drop in written prayers and messages.

Similarly, Station 2 also gave out items and had different activities such as the reflection corner and a photobooth.

This event was anchored in the global theme for Mental Health Awareness Month, "Turn Awareness into Action."

Ngumingiti ang buwan
𝘎𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢 𝘢𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘬𝘢𝘸, 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯
Sana nga ay hindi maglaho
Ang pagmamahal na ayaw sumuko

Sa bawat paghulog ng bituin
Iyong mata ay nakuha ng tingin
Malakas ang agos ng ilog,
𝘎𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘰 𝘣𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨?

Hingang malalim
Tahan, tahan
Natapos na ang ulan
𝗕𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗻 𝗸𝗮 𝗻𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗱𝘂𝘆𝗮𝗻

Nakalipas na ang oras
Natutuyo na ang mga luha
𝘉𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘬 𝘬𝘢𝘺𝘢?
𝘽𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙠 𝙠𝙖𝙮𝙖 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙬𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙖𝙙𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙖?

Hindi na tumutugma
𝙒𝙖𝙡𝙖 𝙣𝙖 𝙗𝙖'𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙜-𝙖𝙨𝙖?
Nawala na ang sigla,
𝘐𝘣𝘢𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘰 𝘯𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘢𝘭𝘢

Balik tayo sa buwan,
Ang sabi ko'y “𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢 𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘰, 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯”
Ngunit, ako'y nagkamali kasi kagaya ni Luna
𝙄𝙠𝙖'𝙮 𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙡𝙖𝙝𝙤 𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙖

While we shout and walk to demand for accountability, the government continues to twiddle its thumbs—delaying meaningful action.

Kalami ba mobalik sa daang panahon,

Atong angkonon nga lingaw kayta sa atong pagka jejemong igit.

Karon nga dako naman ta, naa nata'y mga responsibilidad,
Mao naning mga panahona nga di nata makabalibad.

Students of La Salle University - Ozamiz reaffirmed their commitment to never forget through the Martial Law Commemoration Prayer Rally.

During the prayer assembly, the students along with some Academic Track Partners (ATP) lit candles and offered prayers at LSU Campus 1 on September 19, 2025.

“When we talk about Martial Law, we are not just talking about a date in history books or a line in our lessons. We are talking about real people—fathers, mothers, young people like us—whose voices were silenced, whose rights were taken, and whose lives were forever changed,” Xiever Clent Lambiquit, President of the University Student Government (USG) emphasized in his talk on behalf of the student body.

He also added that under the Marcos administration was a time of fear and control where many were imprisoned without due process and journalists were silenced.

“Ordinary citizens lived in constant uncertainty. And while some may try to paint it as a time of order, we cannot erase the pain and sacrifices of those who endured its harsh reality,” Lambiquit stressed.

Furthermore, Br. Mario Dacanay FSC spoke about his personal experience as a student in Cagayan de Oro City during Martial Law.

According to Br. Dacanay, he witnessed how soldiers tortured the civilians and how people became afraid to go out.

“As I listened to Br. Mario speak about his experience during Martial Law, I was struck by the pain in his voice,” Precious Nicole D. Tompong, third-year Bachelor of Science in Psychology student shared her reflection on the testimony.

She also said that she became emotional, realizing the extent of the pain and fear that ordinary Filipinos had to endure.

“We must not stay silent. LSU, speak up. Against corruption. Against silence. Never forget. Never again,” Tompong urged the community.

This is an annual voluntary activity organized by the students of the Department of Political Science in collaboration with the LSU Social Concerns Center (SCC).

"𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧!" 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞.

Today marks an anniversary that all of us would rather not—𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙—remember.

More than half a century since the start of one of the most violent era that stained Philippine history forever, yet the fire of revolution still burns hot within the blood of the Filipino.

Remembering the silenced, tortured, and killed, we champion the hope that never died within them—the hope that kept them going to overturn the dictator Marcos.

Even with the tumultuous times the Philippines may be drowning in, that hope is still strong in us. In the hands that make the placards, the feet that walk the protest, and the hoarse voices that scream for change.

𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵, 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘺, "𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵, 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯!"
