Every November 11, the breeze of the air feels different. In every flag that waves, every anthem sung, and every salute with pride carries the silent echoes of people who once stood where light reflected and where fear and courage met. The past does not sleep; it whispers. On this Veterans Day, we honored the hearts that beat bravely through the chaos and souls whe exchange comfort for the country; we remember not out of sorrow but out of gratitude.

But before the applause and warm parades, there were dirty uniforms and muddy boots, trembling hands and grumbling stomachs, holding onto the oath of service and the promises of tomorrow. A son, a daughter, a brother, a sister, a mother, and a father who set aside their families and their dreams for the brighter future of today's generation. They endured the pain of distance, thinking of those waiting by the door, praying for their safe return, and longing for letters from distant lands. These are the silent heroes who fought not for glory or power but for something far more precious, the freedom we continue to hold dear today.

Yet, as time moves fast and the world spins around, it becomes too easy to let their stories fade into the background noise of everyday life. This day is not only about the shiny medals or word of gratitude but the obligation of us to remember and to teach the younger generation that freedom was never free, to see veterans not as faces from the past but as the symbols of resilience and honor.

And today's courage may no longer be wearing helmets or carrying a rifle; it may sit in a hospital room alone battling the invisible wounds and gunshots that only they can hear, or walking into a classroom teaching lessons learned from war. We can see up in communities where veterans continue to serve through passion and leadership. Their battles may have changed but their bravery remains.

In this Veterans Day, we should not only say "Thank you" lets acknowledge them. Let us remember that the freedom we cherish today has faces, one that still smiles through scars, one that still gets up despite hurting and one that believes in tomorrow even with yesterday's pain.

To all our beloved veterans' past, present, and futureโ€”your service will never be forgotten. Your stories will continue to shape ours.

Work in all government offices and classes at all levels across the National Capital Region (NCR), which includes Quezon City, is suspended by Malacaรฑang as a preemptive measure against Super Typhoon "Uwan." Pursuant to Memorandum Circular No. 106, government work in the NCR is suspended on Monday, ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ฆ๐›๐ž๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ, ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“, while classes at all levels are suspended for two days, ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ฆ๐›๐ž๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ and ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ, ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“.

Agencies involved in basic, vital, health, preparedness, and response services must remain operational, and other non-critical government agencies may implement alternate work arrangements. The decision on the suspension of work in private establishments remains at the discretion of their respective heads. The order was issued following the recommendation of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council due to the forecasted major impacts of the Super Typhoon.

๐‹๐ˆ๐“๐„๐‘๐€๐‘๐˜ | As the candles from yesterdayโ€™s celebration continue to flicker, November 2 greets us with a softer lightโ€”a day wrapped in prayer, longing, and quiet remembrance. Today, we honor not just the saints in glory, but all souls who once shared our joys, our laughter, and our love. The air carries the echo of rosaries recited, the scent of candles and flowers, and the deep stillness of hearts remembering.

For Filipinos, Araw ng mga Kaluluwa is a sacred continuation of loveโ€”a gentle bridge between the living and the departed. Families return once more to the cemeteries, not in sorrow, but in faith. Tables are filled with offerings, stories are retold, and prayers rise like incense to the heavens. It is a tradition that reminds us that death is not an end, but a pause between breathsโ€”an unseen thread connecting us still.

Historically, All Soulsโ€™ Day, established by St. Odilo of Cluny in the 10th century, became a day when the Church prayed especially for the faithful departedโ€”those still journeying toward eternal rest. It was a call to remembrance and mercy, a reminder that love extends beyond the grave, and that our prayers become bridges of light for those who have gone before us.

In the Filipino heart, this belief has taken root deeply. Our Undas is not merely ritual; it is an act of love that transcends time. Each candle we light, each name we utter in prayer, keeps their memory alive. For though their voices have quieted, their love remainsโ€”a warmth that lingers in every heart that remembers.

As dusk falls and the glow of a thousand candles brightens the night, may we find comfort in knowing that love never fades. The souls we pray for are never lostโ€”they live in the light of our remembrance, in the peace of our prayers, and in the promise of reunion in eternity.

๐‹๐ˆ๐“๐„๐‘๐€๐‘๐˜ | As November 1 dawns, the sun rises over quiet cemeteries adorned with candles, flowers, and prayers. The air is thick with both memory and devotionโ€”a sacred stillness shared by generations of Filipinos returning home to honor the ones who came before them. In every flicker of light, a story glows; in every whispered prayer, a love endures.

For us, Undas is more than a traditionโ€”it is a reunion of hearts across time. Families travel from far and wide, carrying flowers and food, laughter and tears, as they visit the resting places of their departed loved ones. It is a day when graves become gardens of remembrance, and silence becomes a prayer. The scent of wax, the murmur of rosaries, and the soft glow of candles paint a portrait of a faith that never forgets.

Yet beyond our local customs lies the deeper meaning of this day. All Saintsโ€™ Day, celebrated every November 1, traces its roots to the early Christian Church, when believers gathered to honor all saintsโ€”known and unknownโ€”who lived lives of faith and holiness. It was first established by Pope Gregory III in the 8th century, dedicating November 1 as the Feast of All Saints, and later extended to the entire Church by Pope Gregory IV.

In time, this celebration found a home in Filipino soil, blending Christian reverence with the warmth of pagsasama, paggunita, and panalangin. It reminds us that sainthood is not distant nor unreachableโ€”it is reflected in every humble soul who loved deeply, served quietly, and lived with grace.

So as candles burn through the night and the stars watch over our prayers, may we remember: the saints are not goneโ€”they are here, in every act of goodness, in every light we kindle, and in every heart that still believes.
