From the moment the Blue Tracksters stretched, adjusted their spikes, and mentally prepared for the races ahead, it was clear that this yearโ€™s Interzonal Athletic Meet would be different: faster, fiercer, and filled with breakthroughs.

On November 20, the Blue Tracksters delivered a showcase of determination and record-setting performances, amassing a total of ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿญ ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ, ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜… ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—น๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜… ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜‡๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€, truly placing La Verdad Christian School in the spotlight.

With athletes advancing to the Pampanga Schools Division Athletic Association Meet (PASDAAM), the Blue Defenders are set to carry their momentum forward and represent La Verdad Christian School with pride and determination.

๐‘จ๐’๐’ his efforts, victories, and struggles are centered on faith. โ€œInaalay ko lahat ng laban ko sa Dios at sa mga sumusuporta sa akin,โ€ he shared with sincerity. But being a student-athlete is far from easy. There were days he trained on an empty stomach, forcing himself to endure exhaustion and hunger to maintain his required weight.

Due to the widespread havoc caused by multiple typhoons each year across the nation, citizens of Pampanga are advised to remain cautious in their surroundings due to the back-to-back occurrence of floods and other hazards caused by frequent storms.

With Typhoon Uwan (Fung-Wong) being the 21st storm to hit the region this year, resulting in 27 deaths and displacing 4.5 million Filipinos, it has become a recurring reality for many residents.

In a recent study conducted by Basconcillo and Bangquiao of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), research revealed that the frequency of super typhoons in the Philippines has more than doubled in recent decades, an increase strongly linked to climate change.

More so, the institution of La Verdad Christian College (LVCC) has reminded Laverdarians how to act before, during, and after a storm surge through the official page of the school.

The students are advised to stay indoors and remain alert and prayerful, while also updating official staff of LVCC and student leaders per grade level.

The La Verdad Christian School Blue Aces (LVCS) secured an impressive second-place finish in the Womenโ€™s Volleyball Tournament (3โ€“1) at the recent South Zone Meet 2025 held at the Assumpta Technical High School Covered Court.

The team showed solid teamwork and composure throughout the tournament, sweeping all three of their opponents with clean 2โ€“0 victories on their way to the championship match. Their strong attacks and organized defense carried them through each round, proving their determination to win.

The finals, however, brought an intense challenge. Still, the Aces fought hard for every point, refusing to give up until the final whistle. Their silver finish stood not as a loss but as a reflection of their dedication and growth as a team.

โ€œAll in all, ginawa po namin โ€˜yung best namin. Babawi ulit kami sa training at paghahandaan namin nang mas maayos para sa next year,โ€ said the Blue Aces in an interview, showing their resolve to come back stronger.
