โ€œHalina't tayo'y maglakbay, bumisita, at magsiyasat!"

World Tourism Day is celebrated every year on September 27 to highlight the importance of tourism in promoting culture, unity, and development. It was established by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) in hopes to raise awareness in how tourism can help foster societies and economies around the world.

When we hear the term "tourism," we fail to recognize its significant value and simply settle to what we first thought of as just travel and leisure. Unbeknownst to many, tourism offers notable opportunities for locals, creating jobs, supporting their businesses, and preserving traditions which, all in all, continues to promote their communities including the indigenous, delving into the deep, unique and diverse practices within countless cultures. Every trip we take allows us to explore new customs, taste distinct cuisines, and appreciate the beauty of nature, history, and ancestry.

This yearโ€™s theme celebrates and reminds us to practice sustainable tourism which heavily emphasizes on securing the environment of tourist landmarks, stressing the importance of traveling responsibly, whilst ensuring that we maintain our respect and appreciation for such communities. By doing so, we ensure that future generations will continue to enjoy the wonders of the world.

World Tourism Day is a call for everyone to realize that tourism is not just an activity that simply revolves around ease and relaxation, but can become a powerful tool for growth, learning, and unity across nations.

A mere five letters, yet it fiercely stirs the hearts of all. From the rubble of Intramuros to the hills of Bud Dajo, from EDSA's streets to the Trillion Peso March. To nations, they whisper truce and harmony; to citizens, they awaken a deep, eternal longing for serenity.

Yet this technicolor ideal haunts us as a ghost. We humansโ€”intrinsically flawed, steeped in prejudiceโ€”bleed the vibrancy from our world, leaving it ashen and gray. All too often, these failings swell into institutions, poisoning the very systems designed to bind us.

Born of our imperfections, these structures of power thrive on division, perpetuating conflict at every turn. They rarely speak for the whole, ensnaring individuals in the relentless gears of a machine they never forged. This is no rose-tinted hopium, but the raw longing that transforms struggle into unyielding resolve; amid adversity, amid oppression.

Today, on the International Day of Peace, we turn not to laud the governments that prop up these fractured systems, but to honor the people they oppress.

Let no one raise walls to divide us, be they forged of hatred or hewn from stone. We stand together as humans, unbound by empires or states. Nationalism may kindle confidence, yet it polarizes our shared humanity. Our world lies poisoned by exploitation; those who have seized must now catalyze justice, and shatter the vanity of nations.

United as one, we march onward for peace, dismantling the shadows of apartheid wherever they linger. This is the international ideal that truly unites the human race.

On September 21, 1972, President Ferdinand Marcos declared Martial Law in the Philippines. He claimed it was necessary to restore order, citing rising crimes, political unrest, and the threat of rebellion. But what was meant to be a solution turned into years of fear and silence. The government controlled the press, limited freedom of speech, and arrested many people who spoke out, including students, journalists, and ordinary citizens. Thousands suffered during this period, making it one of the most difficult chapters in our countryโ€™s history.

Today, the memory of Martial Law is still truly significant. Many young Filipinos did not live through it, but its lessons remain relevant. Remembering this day reminds us to value our freedom and to guard against abuse of power. In a time when false information can easily spread, it is our responsibility to know the truth and keep history alive.

September 21 is both a warning and a lesson. It shows us that while threats and conflict may exist, freedom can never be safeguarded through fear and oppression. As we remember, we honor the courage of those who resisted and commit ourselves to protecting democracy for the generations to come.

On the 19th of September, 2025, the College of St. John-Roxas dazzled with its annual acquaintance party with the theme, โ€œHonoring the Past, Igniting the Futureโ€. A testament to the lasting legacy of the CSG Cup, thereby marking its 10th year.

The fiery red hues and underlying vigor filled the arena with determination and unity, further exciting everyone about whatโ€™s to unfold. From the parade of tributes which showcased glamour, celebration of bestowed people who passed their role to the next, and stellar performances which initiated proud applauses, this yearโ€™s acquaintance party, inspired by the Hunger Games, was one for the books.

The annual monsoon isn't just a weather event; it's a revealer. As floodwaters drown our streets, they reveal the ugly truth: corruption is drowning us faster than any typhoon.

We, the people, invest heavily in flood control. Billions of pesos from taxes are allocated to protect our communities. Yet, every year, the waters rise gradually. Why? Because those funds are diverted, channeled by corrupt officials and contractors who see our suffering as an opportunity for personal gain and power.

This isn't merely a matter of misplaced funds, it's a betrayal of public trust. When those in power enrich themselves at our expense, they erode the very foundation of our society. The consequences are devastating. Homes destroyed, lives disrupted, and are communities left to fight for themselves.

But amidst the rising waters, a tide of anger is also building. Investigations into alleged corruption are a start, but they are not enough. We need a complete and systemic change. We need transparency in government spending, accountability for corrupt officials, and the empowerment of communities to monitor projects and demand results.

As the waters rise, let our voices rise even higher. Let us demand an end to the corruption that is drowning our nation. Let us build a future where our investments protect us, not line the pockets of the greedy. The time to act is now, before the next monsoon washes away what little faith we have left.

We all know that September marks the beginning of autumn. The air turns crisp, leaves begin to change, and routines settle in. But beyond the changing seasons, this month has a far deeper meaning that is frequently overlooked up until today's generation.

Every year on September 10, the world comes together to observe World Su***de Prevention Day. While some may see it as just another date on the calendar, it serves as a global reminder, urging us to break the silence, listen with compassion, and to recognize that mental health is just as important as oneโ€™s physical health. Far too often, the signs of someone struggling go unnoticed or unacknowledged until it is too late.

It is a chance to educate ourselves, check in on those we care about, and advocate for compassionate support and accessible resources. Su***de is a complex and heartbreaking issue, but through awareness, understanding, and support, we can create a world where no one feels that they have to face their battles alone or keep their pain hidden.

If not now, when? When will we start valuing mental health as we do any other aspect of human life? When will we choose understanding over judgment and hope over despair? The time to listen, speak up, and stand beside one another is not tomorrow nor someday, but now.

Because every life is worth fighting for, and no one should ever feel that they have to fight alone.
