Pastor Erton Köhler, the President of the General Conference, encouraged the church to act boldly in mission during the Southern-Asia Pacific Division (SSD) Annual Council held on November 8 at the Philippine International Church of the Adventist University of the Philippines.

With the theme, “𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘍𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯,” the event gathered delegates and members from 11 countries under the SSD territory—Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam.

According to Pastor Lani Esteves, preparations for the Sabbath alone spanned an entire week, as AUP and the SSD worked closely to ensure that the event would be a memorable and meaningful worship experience. A rough estimate of three to four thousand people attended the Sabbath worship in person, filling both the Philippine International Church and the university gymnasium, which was opened to accommodate worshippers coming from various missions and conferences across the Philippines.

The atmosphere at AUP reflected both spiritual anticipation and unity, as guests from across the country and abroad joined together in prayer, song, and study.

Opening his sermon, Pastor Köhler greeted the congregation with a “Happy Sabbath” in 11 different languages, representing the unity and diversity of the division.

He then set the tone for his message on faith, action, and urgency, saying “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘭𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘎𝘰𝘥, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘶𝘴.”

He explained the church’s strong connection with the book of Revelation: 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 10 as the birth of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 12 as the presentation of our identity, 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 14 as the message that the Lord entrusted to us and 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 21 our blessed hope.

“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥,” he said, adding that the church was born grounded in the Bible to make God’s message clear and understandable to all.

He explained that this opening of the book symbolizes the revelation of God’s plan and truth, making it accessible to everyone, and underscored how the church’s teachings continue to help the members engage deeply with the Bible.
Pastor Köhler noted that Asia has almost 60% of the world’s population but only 17% of Adventist members. He also shared that one in every fifteen Adventist members worldwide lives within the SSD territory, highlighting the division’s important role in the global mission.

“𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦. 𝘞𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸, 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬, 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳,” 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥. 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴, 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘴.”

He concluded his message with a powerful appeal: “𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘶𝘴 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴. 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘶𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘎𝘰𝘥.”

In an interview, Pastor Rodel Gotos, a retired minister and former bible teacher, shared that what stood out to him most was Pastor Köhler’s reminder that Adventists are a “𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬”.

“𝘏𝘦 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘪𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘎𝘰𝘥—𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘢 𝘚𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩, 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴,” Gotos said.

Inspired by the call to mission, Pastor Gotos also shared how he plans to continue living out the message through service.

“𝘞𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦’𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬—𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘉𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘎𝘰𝘥’𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺.”

The event was also marked by the presence of other General Conference leaders, including Elder Paul Douglas, treasurer, and Elder Richard McEdward, secretary.

Led by Pastor Roger Caderma, the division president, SSD is the fifth largest division in terms of church membership among 13 divisions worldwide.

The SSD Annual Council served as a reminder of the church’s divine calling to move forward with faith and urgency—grounded in scripture, united in purpose, and focused on preparing the world for Christ’s soon return.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) recorded a series of three eruptions today, October 26, consisting of one minor phreatic and two minor phreatomagmatic explosions at 2:55 a.m., 8:13 a.m., and 8:20 a.m.

The eruptions at the Main Crater produced plumes rising between 1,200 and 2,100 meters above the crater, as captured by the institute’s IP and thermal cameras.

Despite the series of explosions, Alert Level 1 remains in effect, indicating low-level unrest. PHIVOLCs reminded the public that sudden steam-driven or phreatomagmatic eruptions, volcanic earthquakes, and gas emissions may still occur.

Residents and tourists are advised to stay away from Volcano Island and the Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) and to take precautions against possible sudden activity.

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗕𝗜𝗧 | 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀

There comes a time when the noise of living begins to echo louder than life itself, when every word, every demand, every small action feels heavier than it should. You start to wonder when existing became something you had to earn, when peace began to feel undeserved, and when silence became something to fear, instead of a space to rest within. The world keeps moving, and you keep pretending not to notice how tired your soul has become from keeping pace. And so, you pause—not because you are weak, but because even the sun must yield to the moon, so the world may remember how the night held us gently in its darkness.

There are nights when the sky feels heavier than usual, not because of the stars, but because of the silence between them. I used to chase the light, thinking that was where life happened: in laughter, in warmth, in noise that filled the spaces inside me. But I’ve learned that life also hides in the hush, in the still unspoken hours when the world forgets your name, and you are left alone with your own echo. It is there, in that quiet, where you begin to hear what you’ve long ignored: the soft tremor of your chest, the faint pulse beneath the weight, the whisper that says, ‘𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦.’

There is a quiet kind of grace in being remade by what once tried to break us. Like glass beneath water, we are not shattered beyond repair, but changed—tempered—so the light can pass through us differently. Each line, each fracture tells a story of what we’ve endured and what still holds. We are not fragments pretending to be whole, but pieces patiently gathered and made whole again by time, by love, by the quiet work of healing. We are mosaics of what we’ve survived, made beautiful not by the absence of pain, but by the strength it takes to keep choosing life, even in the weight of trying.

Sometimes, trying can also feel invisible. The world does not applaud the act of standing still; it only notices when you move. But there is bravery in stillness, too; in refusing to rush your own becoming. Some days, survival looks less like flight and more like standing barefoot in your own solitude, waiting for your heartbeat to slow down enough to hear it again. You do not have to bloom every season; some seasons exist only to let your roots grow deeper in the dark.

I’ve come to understand that the quiet is not punishment. It is preparation. A sacred kind of rebuilding that happens beneath the noise. The cracks in me are not warnings of collapse, but doorways for light to enter. The same pain that once hollowed me out now makes room for gentler things. A room for grace, for rest, for a softness I used to mistake for weakness.

The world will tell you to hurry. To heal faster, to smile wider, to turn every ache into art. However, there is meaning in simply existing through stillness without needing to justify it. Perhaps the stars do not shine because they are whole, but because they burn, endlessly, despite the emptiness around them. And maybe that is what we are: quiet fires in vast darkness—flickering, constantly moving—yet never truly gone.

Some nights, I remind myself: you don’t need to glow to be called a bearer of light. You don’t need to be loud to affirm that you’re alive. Even when the moon disappears, the tide still follows. There is faith in the unseen, in knowing that the heart continues even when it feels like it has stopped.

So tonight, I will not chase the light. I will let it find me even if it arrives softly, in the form of breath, or warmth, or the faint rhythm of my own heart learning, once again, how to stay—how to trust the stillness enough to begin again. 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝘂𝗻𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱, 𝘂𝗻𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱, 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵—𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Because sometimes, survival itself is the quietest form of grace. And maybe you don’t realize it yet, but in this very stillness, you are proof that even in silence, life persists.

The Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Office of the Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP) urged the university community to take extra precautions following an increase in flu and flu-like illnesses on campus.

In its recent advisory, the OSH Office reminded students, faculty, and staff to remain vigilant and to observe proper health practices to prevent the spread of infection.

Individuals experiencing fever, cough, sore throat, or body pain are advised to stay home and rest, inform their adviser or supervisor, and seek medical consultation from the AUP Health Services or the nearest clinic. They should return to class or work only after being symptom-free for 24 hours or upon presenting a medical clearance.

The advisory also highlighted preventive measures such as frequent handwashing or sanitizing, covering the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, keeping classrooms and offices clean and well-ventilated, and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.

The OSH Office further encouraged maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper rest, balanced nutrition, hydration, and wearing masks in crowded or enclosed spaces.

The advisory concluded by underscoring the shared responsibility of the AUP community in maintaining a safe, healthy, and caring campus environment.

A minor phreatic eruption occurred at Taal Volcano at 11:43 a.m. today, October 13, producing a steam-rich plume that rose about 900 meters above the crater, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).

PHIVOLCS described it as phreatic, since the eruption was driven by the interaction of water and hot volcanic materials beneath the surface, producing steam and gas but no new magma.

Despite the eruption, Alert Level 1 remains over Taal Volcano, signifying low-level unrest.

PHIVOLCS assured the public that it is closely monitoring Taal’s activity and will issue advisories as necessary should there be any changes in volcanic behavior.

As Taal Volcano continues to exhibit low-level unrest, the public is advised to stay alert, follow official advisories, and be prepared for possible sudden activity.
