Guides of our Learning
By | Ariadnne Escio

For a whole academic year 'round,
The people we meet are bound—
We learn and gain experience from,
As life continues to become.

A compass to show the way,
Reminding us whenever we stray.
Teaching has become their specialty,
Lessons laced with sincerity.

One of the students' lighthouses,
In the depths of syllabi and clauses,
Lies their passion for education,
One that builds the strength of a nation.

To showcase them with gratitude,
Their importance should be valued.
By giving appreciation and thanks
As they fill learners' knowledge gaps.

A single day is celebrated for them,
For a chance to honor their cause.
For they give not just direction,
But a purpose for all to truly live.

Kadakilaan ng Katapangan
Isinulat ni | Nikki Heart Tuliao

Isang nagniningas na damdamin ang bumukas
Sa pusong tinakot ng dahas.
Umaalab na pakiramdam na siyang lumutas
Upang baguhin ang mga susunod na bukas.

Sinalungat ang bawat pagdududa
Na baka ang pinaghirapan ay balewala—
Dahil kalakip ng hindi kasiguraduhan,
Ay ang solusyong kinakailangang ipaglaban.

Madaming dugo ang dumanak
At pawis na tumagaktak.
Ilang libong buhay ang naibuwis
Para sa halos tatlong siglong pagtitiis.

Ang pag-aalsa sa mapang-abusong karanasan
Ay naipamalas sa iilang paraan.
Isinulat ng iba ang kanilang hindi pagsang-ayon
Habang ang iba, karahasan ang naging aksyon.

Ang kalayaan na siyang inaasam
Ay isinakatuparan ng mga makabayan.
Ipinaglaban at pinatunayan ng walang agam-agam
Na makakamit nating lahat ang ating kasarinlan.

Hindi man nasilayan ang liwanag na minsan nilang inasam,
Nakasalalay na sa atin ang patuloy nitong pagpanglaw.
Hangga't may nangangahas hamunin ang ating kasarinlan
Marapat lang na atin itong buong-loob na ipaglaban.

Magsilbi sana itong aral at ehemplo
Upang pahalagahan natin palagi ang kalayaan.
Itinuro nila kung paano umalma, makibaka at magsalita
Sa sistema at sirkumstansiyang tayo ay pinahihirapan.

Sapagkat ang layunin ng pagiging isang bayani
Ay hindi lang maging dahilan ng palakpak at papuri.
Dahil ang buhay, dangal at tapang na kanilang isinauli
Hindi nito kailanman mababayaran ng kahit anong sukli.

Behind the words that break through silence are ever-watchful eyes and hands that often shake in fear, yet steady in their command of seeking truths that are forced into hiding. These young warriors are not equipped with swords, but with pens and cameras in hand; not with blind obedience, but with questions sharp as any blade.

As we mark National Campus Freedom Day, may we give honor to the value of pages that go against the raging current of oppression. To some, a campus newspaper may seem like a mere ordinary paper, easily dismissed and tucked away into the corners of oblivion. But for young journalists, it is both a lash upon the conscience of the oppressor and a rope that saves us from drowning in silence.
