Another year means another chapter in our college journey full of group chats, coffee runs, late-night cramming, and the unforgettable memories in between.

A brand new academic year means another chance to hustle smarter, aim higher, and survive every group project (๐˜ฌ๐˜ข๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ข๐˜ธ ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜จ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ธ๐˜ข). Bring out your pen, confidence, and charm for recits because this year, we will gonna manage our time, our tasks, and hopefully,... our feelings.

Letโ€™s make 2025โ€“2026 our most unforgettable academic year yet โ€” kahit minsan late pa rin tayo pumasok.

WelCOM back, COMrades!

Ngayong araw ay ginugunita natin ang ika-127 na taon mula nang tayo ay nakalaya sa ating sariling lupa. Nawa'y magsilbi itong paalala na kahit tayo ay hindi na nasa pamumuno ng mga mananakop, patuloy nating ipaglaban ang ating Kalayaan mula sa kahirapan, katiwalian, at kawalang katarungan.

Ang tunay na diwa ng Kalayaan ay hindi lamang dapat huminto sa selebrasyon, kundi ang pagkakaroon ng kapangyarihang pumili, kumilos, at magsalita para sa ikabubuti ng sambayanan.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

๐‹๐ˆ๐“๐„๐‘๐€๐‘๐˜ | Longing and Loving

When I look at you, I have a silent hope โ€”
a hope that in the end,
our love will not be condemned
as the greatest sin ever committed.

Despite societyโ€™s setbacks,
we still stood through the tides and time,
with the unwavering determination
to be each otherโ€™s partners in crime.

As we grew,
they called it a phase,
but for me,
It sparked the beginning of my faith.

From the moment I declared my love for you,
I was freed from the shackles of fear -
finally embracing who I am
and walking toward your heart
with no guilt and shame.

I am no longer hiding
in the walls of my insecurities,
and no longer shrinking
beneath the weight of uncertainties.

You taught me that love
has endless possibilities,
and with you
Iโ€™ve learned to breathe
and truly exist.

To love you out loud was to claim my truth,
To cast aside the prejudice and embrace my youth.
Their gazes might be distant,
But they can never tear us apart.

With you, I found strength and courage
to recognize my identity
Our love, a quiet rebellion
against everything they told us not to be.

๐‹๐ˆ๐“๐„๐‘๐€๐‘๐˜ | Liham ng Luha

Sa iba, ang tatlong daan ay baon at pamasahe lamang nila sa isang araw, pero sa nakararami, ito na lang ang natitirang badyet bago ang susunod na sahuran.

Bilang panganay, saksi siya sa lahat ng hirap na dinaranas ng kaniyang mga magulang na halos pagkakanda-kuba dahil sa pakikibaka sa pang araw-araw na buhay โ€” ang kanyang ina na maagang umaalis para magbukas ng kanilang pwesto, at ang ama na inuumaga naman sa trabaho.

Isang kahig, isang tuka ang takbo ng kanilang tadhana. Parehong hindi nakatapos ng pag-aaral ang ama't ina kaya naman doble kayod sila upang hindi danasin ng mga anak ang kanilang kapalaran. Mababa man ang tingin sa kanila ng iba, alam ng panganay na ito ang bumubuhay sa kanila; ito ang haliging hindi kailanman bumigay.

Minsan siyaโ€™y nagrereklamo, nalulungkot, at naiinggit โ€” pero napapawi lahat ng ganoong pag-iisip sa tuwing nakikita niyang nagtatawanan at silaโ€™y masaya. Sapagkat sa kabila ng hirap ng buhay, kailanman ay hindi nila isinumbat sa kanilang mga anak ang hirap at sakripisyo nila para itaguyod ang kanilang pag-aaral.

Kung minsa'y may mga namumuong luha sa kaniyang mata tuwing naaalala niya ang mga panahon na ilang tanghalian din ang tiniis ng kaniyang mga magulang nang hindi kumain, at ang ilang pakiusap rin ang ginawa ng kaniyang ina sa mga nahiraman niya ng pera, para lamang may pambayad sa matrikula sa eskwela.

Sa tuwing nasasaksihan niyang sumasakit ang likod ng kaniyang ina at kumikirot ang tuhod ng kaniyang ama, tila bang tinutusok ang kaniyang puso dahil kung minsan wala siyang magawa, dahil na rin sa pagod at sariling bigat na dala.

Ngunit sa bawat butil ng pawis ng kaniyang magulang ay ipinagmamalaki niyang itoโ€™y tanda ng kanilang dignidad at sakripisyo na pinapasan para makaraos sa araw-araw. Bawat pagod ay sagisag ng wagas na pagpapahalaga at pagmamahalโ€”bagay na hindi matutumbasan ng kahit anumang halaga.

Kayaโ€™t gabi-gabi, ipinagdarasal niya: sana, kapag kaya na niya, naroon pa rin ang kaniyang mga magulang. Sana, maibigay niya ang mga mithiin ng mga itoโ€”ang mga pangarap na ipinagkait sa kanila ng tadhana. Sana, hindi na nila kailangang hintayin pa ang kinsenas at katapusan para lamang makaahon sa araw-araw.

โ€œMa, Pa,โ€ wika ng kanyang puso sa katahimikan ng gabi.
โ€œPag kaya ko na... ako naman.โ€

To deepen studentsโ€™ understanding of selected precepts of law and to integrate these with current social issues, law student practitioners (LSP) of the DMMMSU College of Law conducted two (2) separate fora on April 10, 2025, at the College of Management AVR.

During the morning session, the topic revolved around the โ€œBasics of Impeachment,โ€ with 84 Bachelor of Public Administration third-year students attending the forum. While in the afternoon session, around 130 Bachelor of Science in Office Administration students participated in the โ€œRights, Respect, and Representation: A Legal Lecture Series on Data Privacy, Safe Spaces, and Inclusive Communication.โ€

This collaborative engagement with the Juris Doctor students provides an avenue for knowledge-sharing and raising critical awareness of socio-political issues in the country. This activity is under the supervision of Atty. Allan Hil B. Pajimola, faculty of CLAW and COM and concurrent Head of the MLUC Legal Services Unit.

Ang tapang ng mga bayani, isang ilaw na walang kupas para sa Bansang Sinilangan. Sa paggunita ng Araw ng Kagitingan, ating itinatampok ang pagkilala, ang marangal na respeto, at ang taos pusong pasasalamat. Ang kalayaang hinaharap ngayon ay isang tanda ng kanilang walang takot na pakikipagsapalaran.
