A Quill’s Might
By | Hic

For him whose quill was sharper than the sword,
Whose vision history has long adored.
No crimson field became his final place,
But living memory time cannot erase.

With pen aflame, he kindled freedom’s fire,
For justice, truth—his chosen fight;
In every soul, his words inspire,
Awakening hope within the night.

His words endure—a steadfast call,
For truth upheld by gentle might.
On hallowed ground, he faced it all,
And met the dark to give us light.

A silent vow his deeds impart—
Through time, through trial, through every part.
To guard the flame, to play our part,
And keep it bright in the Filipino heart.

Echoes of Faith
By | Nikki Heart Tuliao

A holy pursuit led by a spiritual devotion,
To be a disciple of God is no easy task.
To trod along the muddy and rough paths,
A challenge every saint must humbly ask.

No faith started with a firm decision,
As their hearts were enveloped with doubt.
Then God assured them through revelation:
“Just believe, and you will never feel unloved.”

Their mission rose them to their feet,
They spread the word of God across.
Little by little, it resonated deep within,
Igniting souls with faith’s eternal flame.

Though many heeded the call, others scorned His name.
They maligned the Creator, and rejected the claim.
Yet amidst the doubt and worldly disdain,
A steadfast few preserved what still remains.

Persistence kindled through the souls once undecided,
The stories and lessons washed away their sins.
They healed the pain that could not be seen,
And embraced the Spirit of the Lord within.

The Saints shall be remembered every November
For the sacrifices and efforts they dedicated to the Omniscient.
Offer them a gentle flame and a whispered prayer,
To light their path and guide us through the darkness.

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.
