“Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.”
These are the words once said by one of history’s greatest minds, Albert Einstein. From the dawn of our existence to the peak of modern innovation, it has always been our desire to explore, question, and create that propels us forward. Yet, even as we push our boundaries, we are constantly reminded of the limits that hold us back.

These limits take many forms, some come in the frailty of the human body, while others are imposed by circumstances beyond our control. Limits are no stranger to humanity and nowhere are these boundaries felt more deeply than in healthcare. Despite being recognized as a human right, access to quality medical care remains out of reach for some. In the Philippines, while some hospitals are equipped with skilled doctors and advanced facilities that are able to cater to specialized operations, the reality is that not all hospitals could say the same.

For instance, brain surgeries are often only available in hospitals near the capital or in distant urban centers, forcing patients to travel far and spend significant amounts of money just to receive treatment. This is one of many problems that forces a barrier for patients to proper care—until Dr. Derek Ben Jabines and his team managed to break through.

On July 17, 2025, the first-ever awake brain surgery, or craniotomy, in the island of Panay had been successfully performed in the province of Iloilo. This landmark procedure was conducted at Western Visayas Medical Center, which was led by Dr. Derek Ben Jabines, a neurosurgeon and spine surgeon, who was then assisted by Dr. James Mercado from Davao Doctors Hospital, anesthesiologist Dr. Ceres Lucot-Laud, and neuropsychiatrist Dr. Paul Christian Sobrevega. This 6-hour operation was done in order to remove a tumor located in the eloquent areas of the brain, which are regions responsible for pivotal functions such as speech and movement.

Craniotomies are delicate and complex procedures that involve temporarily removing a section of the skull or the cranium to access the brain to perform various operations such as removing tumors, repairing aneurysms, and addressing other brain conditions. In the case of awake craniotomies, the patient is kept awake and alert through the process, which allows the surgical team to perform real-time brain mapping, helping preserve important functions all while safely removing the tumor.

This operation did not just save a life but also signify progress in the road to deliver accessible healthcare to all. This opened the possibility of patients not needing to board a plane and spend more money on top of an already expensive procedure just because nearby hospitals do not offer these procedures. As time progressed we slowly began to see more hospitals and more doctors performing these crucial operations. While we still have a long way to go, this incredible operation showed that we’ve come a long way. Just like the quote from earlier, “Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.” After all, where limits end, progress begins.

𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐚 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐱𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲

A critically endangered Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) was found lifeless along the coastal waters of Sitio Nipa, Barangay Culasi, Roxas City, according to a report from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Saturday.

Authorities have yet to determine the exact cause of death of the female turtle, but the PCG and the Capiz Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (CaPENRO) are now conducting a joint investigation to ensure proper handling of the turtle's remains and to look into possible causes.

According to CaPENRO, the turtle measured approximately 44 inches in total length, with a shell length of 34 inches and a width of 31.5 inches.

Based on these dimensions, the turtle is estimated to be between 30 to 40 years old, classifying it as a mature adult.

Green sea turtles are listed as endangered and are under constant threat from habitat destruction, plastic pollution, and climate change.

Their protection remains a priority in national marine conservation programs, as mature individuals play a vital role in sustaining population recovery, as well as maintaining balance in marine ecosystems.

𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲, 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲

The soft clack of heels resounded like a battle cry—echoing louder than applause, a hymn of resistance and unyielding strength. She wore her truth as she did the proud black and red of her toga—not to place herself on a pedestal, but to raise banners and a voice for change. Framed by the cap is a face carved by determination and perseverance, steel in the face of judgment and adversity. Her valedictory speech flowed from her mouth not only as an ode to her efforts, but as the anthem of her life—lit with a fire and purpose that burned unwaveringly from a chest filled with pride.

Khaz-JP Padilla isn’t just a crown of curls bent over books—she turns tides just as much as pages. Graduating alongside other proud scholars this June 2025, she penned another line in HERstory as CapSU’s first trans valedictorian.

Along with the Latin honor, she obtained a Bachelor of Science in Social Work—a passion that first sparked in high school. Social work, she says, has taught her that among their many roles is to become an advocate. In her valedictory speech, she drew attention to the challenge of navigating a binary school system as her true self, and voiced the earnest hope of inspiring other transgender youth to pursue education—because it should never exclude anyone. In an interview with Bombo Radyo, Padilla emphasized that members of the transgender and LGBTQIA+ community are not asking for special treatment, but for special consideration—and equal opportunity.

“[As a member of a marginalized sector of society], I know [that it’s hard]. But what we are aiming for is systematic change, and it's not that instant, it's not that quick. [So this will still be a long fight.] Be courageous to speak up, to contribute to our community... [Even if it’s slow, as long as we are progressing].”

She attributes her clarity and confidence to her family’s unwavering support and Pilar Satellite College’s welcoming environment. In an interview, she encourages parents to love their child regardless of who and what they are, as genuine love does not come with conditions.

Grounded in humility, driven by purpose, and cloaked in the quiet power of authenticity, Khaz-JP Padilla proves that brilliance wears many faces—and hers just happens to wear both a smile and a crown.

“Darlin’, it’s better down where it’s wetter, take it from me!”

Beneath the waves lies a world unlike our own, a realm filled with magnificent creatures and breathtaking wonders tucked within the endless void of blues and greens. Life underwater is not just a spectacle of nature’s beauty, but a crucial pillar of our planet’s balance.

Thanks to its unique location, the Philippines stands as a global hotspot for marine biodiversity, making it a vital center for ecological discovery and research. But the significance of the sea goes beyond science. For many Filipinos, the ocean is woven into daily life, culture, and livelihood, its tides shaping coastal communities throughout time.

And now, there’s even more reason to look beneath the surface. A research team from Capiz recently discovered a massive 160-hectare seagrass bed, possibly the largest ever recorded in the country. Ernest Federiso, Head of the Capiz Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO), stated during the Kapihan forum in Capiz on June 5 that they found the expansive seagrass bed within a coral reef formation while conducting a protected area sustainability assessment at Tukad Reef, located in the waters off Pilar.

Seagrasses, often called the “lungs of the sea”, are the only flowering plants that grow in marine environments. They are typically found in shallow, salty coastal waters where sunlight can still reach the seafloor (Ocean, 2025.). As they grow and spread, they form seagrass beds—important habitats in temperate and tropical coastal and estuarine areas (Goltenboth & Widmann, 2006).

According to Oceania (2024.), seagrass beds serve as vital ecosystems, forming nursery habitats for numerous marine creatures and feeding grounds for herbivorous grazers such as green turtles and dugongs. Thanks to their natural filtration properties, seagrasses can trap silt and sediment, improving water clarity and supporting healthier coral reefs. They also absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, help stabilize the seafloor, and signal a healthy ocean environment.

Because of these many benefits, the Capiz discovery is a major milestone for both research and environmental care. Federiso noted that the waters in Pilar are much clearer compared to those in Guimaras which he said is a direct result of the seagrass bed’s presence. He added that coral reef health is closely linked to the condition of nearby seagrass, which help stabilize sediments and function as a natural barrier against siltation, which can damage coral reefs.

Currently, the Capiz provincial government is seeking to declare Tukad Reef a Marine Protected Area (MPA) under the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS). MPAs are designated zones where human activity is limited to protect marine life and habitats. MPA declaration could also help restore biodiversity and support the recovery of various marine species. Additionally, Federiso shared that there are ongoing discussions with an oil company for a potential conservation partnership.

The discovery of the 160-hectare seagrass bed in Capiz is more than just a milestone, it is a wake-up call. At a time when marine ecosystems are under threat from pollution, climate change, and human activities, finding something so vast, alive, and largely untouched is rare. This discovery should serve as a call to action, a reminder of the urgent need to protect our environment, especially the life beneath the waves. With clearer waters, healthier reefs, and thriving marine life, this seagrass bed stands not just as a natural wonder, but as a living testament to what can still be saved, if we choose to act now.

After all, just one small act can make a big difference for marine life, especially when it comes to this Sea-nsational discovery under the sea.

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡!

As humans, we are all inherently different. From our eyes, bodies, down to our interests and hobbies. But despite that, our hearts beat to the same rhythm, and our lungs take in the same air.

I could love a girl, a guy, or no one at all.
I could've been a girl, a guy, or someone who was just trying to find themselves.. it is our nature to be different. No matter who you love, or who you are, you are still human.

Love, identity, and self-discovery are not so complex to understand; they exist on a spectrum as vibrant and diverse in individuals who experience them. In a world that often pushes us to fit and choose into boxes and conform to expectations, it’s powerful to simply exist as we are, even if that means existing in between.

No one should have to hide pieces of themselves just to feel accepted or welcomed. When we celebrate one another’s truths, we build a world that values on empathy, not judgment. A place where they are seen for their hearts, not just their labels. They say there is courage in the uncertain, and strength in the bewildered for what others take for granted.

So let this be a call not just for tolerance, but for real, active love for those whose standing up when it’s difficult, for those whose listening when it’s uncomfortable, and for embracing the beauty of every soul’s journey. Because at the end of the day, we are all just trying to be understood, to be valued, and most importantly, to be free.
