𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡 | 𝗣𝗮𝗱𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗻, 𝗣𝗮𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗸𝗮𝘀

Pumasok nang naka-uniporme, lalabas nang naka-toga.

Mga umaalingawngaw na tawa at yapak ng mga nagsisitakbuhang paa. Ito ang madalas nating marinig sa pasilyo ng paaralan. Habang tumatagal, tila unti-unti nang naglalaho ang tunog nito—handa ka na bang magpaalam?

Parang kailan lang noong una nila itong libutin. Ngayon, ito’y kanila nang lilisanin. Ito na ang wakas ng isang kabanata—hindi para wakasan ang kuwento, kundi para simulan ang bagong yugto.

Malayo na, ngunit tanaw na ang pangarap.

Sabi nila, hayskul life daw ang pinakamasayang parte ng pagiging buhay estudyante dahil dito mo mararanasan ang mga unang pag-ibig, unang pagkatalo, at unang tunay na pagkakaibigan na hindi matitinag. Dito ka unang matututo kung paano magpatawad kahit masakit, magbigay kahit kapos, at magsikap sa kabila ng takot at kawalang-katiyakang bukas.

Ang hayskul ay parang kape; may pait at tamis na sumasalamin sa kanilang paglalakbay—pait ng pagkabigo at tamis ng tagumpay. Kape rin ang sandigan ng mga estudyante sa gabi ng pag-aaral, ang kasama sa bawat paggising sa umaga, at ang laging kasama sa mga gabing walang tulog. Pero–

Para kanino sila bumabangon?

Para sa baon—ngunit higit pa ro’n. Para sa mga alaalang bubuuin kasama ang mga kaibigan, para sa mga tawanan, para sa mga kaganapan na ayaw palampasin. Bumabangon sila hindi lang dahil kailangan, kundi dahil may mga sandaling ayaw nilang mawala tulad ng mga aral at alaala na babaunin nila sa kanilang pamamaalam, mga displina’t mabubuting asal na humubog sa kanila bilang isang tunay na La Verdarian.

Panibagong landas, panibagong laban. Sa loob ng anim na taong pakikipagsapalaran sa hayskul, sa wakas, narating na nila ang dulo ng daan—isang daan na magtatawid sa kanila tungo sa tulay ng kanilang mithiin at pangarap.

Sigurado akong mananalaytay sa memorya ng mga La Verdad Batch ‘24-’25 graduates ang bawat sulok ng kanilang silid-aralan na may bakas ng kanilang yapak mula sa unang araw ng klase hanggang sa araw ng kanilang pamamaalam.

Ang bawat pasilidad ay may marka ng kanilang kahapong ‘di magbabalik. Ito ang “Bawat Daan” ni Ebe Dancel ng mga La Verdarian.

Bawat kanan at kaliwa
Kung timog man o hilaga
Ang bawat daan ko
Ay patungo
Ay pabalik
Sa'yo

Sa kaniya-kaniyang landas na tatahakin, may bahid man ng lungkot sa puso nang ito’y kanilang lisanin, ito ang nag-iisang tiyak sa isang libong duda—kung bibigyan ulit ng isa pang pagkakataon na pumili, La Verdad pa rin ang kanilang pipiliin. Sila ang mga iskolar ng bayan ng Dios, ang mga La Verdarian sa isip, salita, at gawa.

Anywhere, anytime, and always in their lives.

𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡 | 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗯𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝘂𝗴𝘁𝗼: 𝗜𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗮𝗵𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗼𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗴-𝗮𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗩𝗖𝗦

Sa bawat hakbang patungong entablado, dala-dala ng mga mag-aaral ng La Verdad Christian School (LVCS) ang alaala ng higit anim na taong pagsusumikap, pagkatuto, at paghubog sa kanilang pagkatao. Nitong ika-10 ng Abril, muling naging saksi ang paaralan sa isa na namang makasaysayang kabanata—ang Graduation Ceremony ng 84 na mag-aaral sa ika-6 na baitang at Moving-Up Ceremony ng 30 mag-aaral sa kindergarten, bilang bahagi ng selebrasyon ng tagumpay at panibagong simula.

Binigyang-diin ng punong-guro at administrator na si Dr. Sharene T. Labung na naiangkla ang kulminasyon na ito sa pagiging masipag, pagtitiyaga, at hindi matatawarang pagsisikap ng mga magsisipagtapos ng primarya at elementarya.

“This year's culmination is about the hard work, perseverance, and unwavering effort of the students,” pahayag ni Dr. Labung.

Ang seremonyang ito ay naging pagkakataon din upang magnilay at magpasalamat. Isa sa mga naging tampok ng programa si Jarred Manahan, student-journalist ng ‘Ang Tanglaw’ at itinanghal na valedictorian ng ika-6 na baitang. Sa kaniyang talumpati, hindi lang niya ipinaabot ang taos-pusong pasasalamat kundi nagbigay rin siya ng panibagong lakas at inspirasyon sa kaniyang mga kamag-aral.

“Moving forward is the only way to grow, [so] be disciplined and always do your best... [The institution] teaches us to have faith, hope, and love. Thank you for building an institution that has a heart for children and the future,” ani Manahan.

Isa ring naging boses ng damdamin ng mga mag-aaral si Gwyneth Antonio, na bagama’t puno ng saya ay hindi maitago ang pag-aalala sa bagong yugto ng kaniyang paglalakbay.

“Masaya po na makaka-graduate ng elementary, pero mahirap din at the same time. Kasi po yung mga subjects mag-a-upgrade, mag-i-improve into a much difficult level,” ani Antonio, na sumasalamin sa sentimyento ng marami.

Ngunit sa kabila ng kaba at pangambang dala ng susunod na hakbang, nangingibabaw pa rin ang diwa ng tagumpay. Sa mga luhang pumatak sa pisngi ng ilang magulang, sa mga yakap ng magkakaibigan, at sa mga ngiting nagsasabing, “Kaya natin ‘to,”—dito isinilang ang panibagong yugto.

Isang yugto ng mas matayog na pangarap, ng mas matibay na paninindigan, at ng patuloy na pag-angat tungo sa mas maliwanag na bukas.

𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦-𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝗱, 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲; 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀

La Verdad Christian College held its Grade 10 Moving Up Ceremony on April 11, 2025, to formally mark the transition of Junior High School students into Senior High School, led by Dr. Sharene T. Labung, serving as a moment of reflection and recognition for the completers’ efforts throughout the past four years.

Some of the ceremony's highlights involved the speakers on behalf of the completers, Ashley Galaty, who delivered the Words of Gratitude and Jaruelle Martina Redito, who led the Pledge of Loyalty—a reaffirmation of their commitment to the values upheld by the institution.

In an interview, Galaty shared her gratitude for completing Junior High with her batchmates, saying, “Satisfying po kasi nakita ko rin po yung mga kasama ko na working hard po sila lahat... after 4 years nakaraos po kaming lahat sa awa ‘t tulong ng Diyos.” She also reflected on how her Junior High experience helped shape her identity: “Doon talaga kami nagkaroon ng kamalayan about the system ng pag-aaral... nabubuo yung personality mo, yung beliefs mo, and values mo.”

Galaty also credited her involvement in journalism as a major influence in her development. “Nakabuo siya ng respeto sa katotohanan and sa ability ko to communicate clearly... nakatulong siya para mailabas ko ang saloobin ko tungkol sa iba’t ibang bagay at makapag-voice out ng opinions and suggestions.”

Redito echoed the sentiment of growth and determination. “Masaya po, kasi after ng mga hard works namin... nakatapos pa rin kami. Kahit ‘di naman siya graduation talaga, completion lang for JHS, pero magsisilbi rin siyang inspiration sa ‘min para ‘pag nag Senior High School na kami.” She emphasized the importance of time management and applying learned lessons to future endeavors: “Alam ko hindi siya madali kasi may challenges pa rin, pero gamit yung mga lessons na natutunan ko from junior high, ia-apply din natin ‘yon ‘pag nag Senior High tayo.”

In addition to her academic achievements, Redito also served as a student journalist. Despite tight schedules and overlapping responsibilities, she managed to balance her passion for journalism with her studies — a testament to her dedication and time management, “Kahit late na naming nagagawa at nagsasabay-sabay, kaya namang ma-balance... tulad ng sinasabi ni Ma’am Arleen, “Basta mahal mo ‘yung ginagawa mo, ipu-push talaga natin.”

The completion ceremony served not as an endpoint, but as a meaningful pause — a bridge from Junior High to greater responsibilities ahead. Both Galaty, Redito, and the rest of grade 10 completers expressed hope, faith, and excitement for the new journey that awaits in Senior High School.

As La Verdarians showcased leadership and excellence, La Verdad Christian School commemorated the values of discipline, consistency and hard work as they honored students and teachers during the Recognition Day held on Tuesday, April 8, at the school’s auditorium, marking the first of its kind throughout the school’s history.

Despite the tradition of giving out special awards to students during the school’s graduation ceremonies, this year’s event gave the spotlight to all hard working students and teachers who displayed great leadership, honor, and supportive service to different school events and undertakings held throughout the year. The event began by honoring the Central Luzon Athletic Meet (CLRAA) medalists from both elementary and secondary divisions, recognizing their outstanding performances in competitions—elevating the school's standing in regional competitions.

In addition to this, the institution also awarded clubs recognized for their service and dedication to the school, including the school’s publication for both English and Filipino categories ‘The Torch’ and ‘Ang Tanglaw’, Agham-mazing, La Verdad Productions, Blue Harmony, Chorale de La Verdad, Frontliners, and the Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) for their dedication and efforts, along with the teacher-advisers who handled the clubs that received the service award.

Moreover, LVCS also recognized the most outstanding journalists of the year in secondary education and the awardees of the recently concluded Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC), students who demonstrated their commitment to delivering trustworthy news, showcasing their talents and dedication to upholding the school's principles and academic excellence.

Furthermore, Assistant Principal for Academic Affairs, Mr. Rommel Alba, reminded La Verdarians of the event’s purpose, highlighting its significance.

“May this celebration inspire all of us to press on with integrity, humility, and a heart that honors God in all we do,” Mr. Alba stated.
