Laguna State Polytechnic University (LSPU), in line with the announcement of the Provincial Government of Laguna, declares suspension of classes in all campuses, effective September 26โ€“27.

The suspension is due to the risks posed by Tropical Storm โ€œOpong,โ€ as the Department of Science and Technology โ€“ Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (DOSTโ€“PAGASA) raised Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1 in Laguna.

Earlier today, Sta. Cruz Municipal Mayor Benjamin Agarao signed Executive Order No. 38, s. 2025, suspending government work and classes in all levels, both public and private, in Sta. Cruz from September 25โ€“26.

The executive order also directs local government offices and teams to carry out necessary preparations for the possible landfall of the storm and its aftermath.

To fortify the university communityโ€™s emergency and disaster readiness, Laguna State Polytechnic University โ€“ Sta. Cruz Campus (LSPUโ€“SCC) participated in the 3rd Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED), which also featured a coordinated fire drill, at the university grounds, September 11.

Led by the University Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (UDRRMO), in collaboration with the LSPUโ€“SCC Red Cross Youth Council (RCYC) and fire volunteers from the Laguna Marshall Fire Fighters Responders Association (LAMFFARA), students, faculty, and staff carried out the โ€œduck, cover, and holdโ€ procedure before gathering at the university grounds, where they were guided through evacuation and safety protocols.

Mr. Erwin Napiza, UDRRMO Director, emphasized the importance of conducting and actively participating in such simulations, urging everyoneโ€”especially studentsโ€”to treat the drills with seriousness.

"Ginagawa po โ€˜tong National Earthquake Simultaneous Drill para po sa awareness ng lahat. Para mabigyan ng kaalaman ang bawat isa [at] masigurado nating ligtas ang bawat isa, lalong-lalo na kapag kayo ay nasa loob ng paaralan,โ€ he explained.

Following the earthquake drill, RCYC demonstrated first-aid response procedures, while LAMFFARA showcased proper fire-extinguishing techniques.

โ€œKalimitan kapag nagkaroon ng earthquake, ang second part nโ€™on, automatic [ay] nagkakaroon ng fire. Kaya lagi silang pinagsasama [sa drills para] magkaroon ng impormasyon ang bawat isa,โ€ Mr. Napiza added in an inclusive interview when asked about the integration of a fire drill with the NSED.

The NSED is a quarterly exercise spearheaded by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) through the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), aiming to strengthen public awareness and preparedness for the threat of earthquakes.

The 4th Quarter drill is scheduled for November 6, 2025.

Prioritizing the safety of its stakeholders amid the potential adverse effects of Tropical Cyclone โ€œOpong,โ€ the Laguna State Polytechnic University (LSPU) announces the suspension of classes across all campuses, in compliance with the directive of the Provincial Government of Laguna, effective September 25.

In addition to this, Sta. Cruz Campus (SCC) also declares suspension of work, following the Local Government Unit (LGU) of the said municipality.

The Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (DOSTโ€“PAGASA) reports a moderate to heavy rainfall outlook in Laguna, brought by the Southwest Monsoon, further intensified by โ€œOpongโ€.

Residents near coastal and low-lying areas are advised to prepare for the possibility of flood and storm surge as the Tropical Cyclone is expected to intensify and may reach the typhoon category before making a landfall.

The Equinox has arrived!

Today marks the moment when the Earthโ€™s axis is neither tilted toward nor away from the Sun, giving us nearly equal lengths of day and night across the globe. This celestial balance ushers in a powerful shiftโ€”bringing harmony to every corner of the Earth.

Itโ€™s the perfect time to pause, connect with nature, and align yourself with the rhythm of the universe. Gaze at the stars, breathe deeply, and embrace the energy that Earth so generously shares with us.

Today, September 23, we commemorate World Sign Language Dayโ€”an annual event proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 2017 to raise awareness on the vital role of sign languages in upholding the full human rights of Deaf people. The date also marks the anniversary of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), founded in 1951.

On this occasion, The Gears Publication joins the global community in honoring this beautiful and powerful mode of communication that connects millions worldwide. It is a time to celebrate the rich history and diversity of sign languages, as well as to recognize the significance of Deaf culture in shaping a more inclusive society.

Nagsimula tayo sa pagtatahi ng mga salita
Mula sa pagtuklas ng nilalaman ng ABKD.
Ngayong may dunong , sinusulsi natin ang laksang usapan,
Hanggang dalhin tayo nito sa mga pedestal na hindi pa natin naaapakan.

Nakabibingi nga ba talaga ang katahimikan?
O isa lamang itong halimbawa ng kabalintunaan?
Gaya ng mga kwentong pilit binabaon, pinabubulaanan.
Mga waring pinatatangay sa nakalulunod na baha,
โ€” pilit nilulubog sa banlik ng kasaysayan.

Hindi lamang kandila ang muling lumuluha
Sa tuwing itinitirik ang laksang paggunita
Sa mga yumaong at lipas na sandaling
Buhay pa ang pakikibaka.

Itago man ang mga buto sa aparador,
Hugasan man ang mga dugong nakasingit sa kuko,
Itulakbahala maโ€™y mangangamoy
Ang karimlang pilit binabaon sa laboy.

Kalawang man ay pintahan at maging ginto,
Mga pundasyon man ay patibayin gamit ang mga bungo,
Pakinisin man bakyang sinuot ng taklesang รฉbubรณt,
Umusbong man ang dalit sa mga lundayang ginupo,
May isang bingi pa ring makaririnig,
Bulag na makakakita, at
Pilay na tatayo.

Hindi ang ingay at dagundong ang nakatatakot,
Kundi ang kawalan ng ingay sa pakikisangkot.
Dahil waring katahimikan ay siyang paglimot,
Sa laksang bahoโ€™t laksang gusot.

Nakabibingi ang katahimikan.
Dahil may laksang boses na pilit na kumakawala sa ating kalooban.
Bulong ng hustisya, sigaw para sa pananagutan.
Mga hikbiโ€™t panaghoy ng nasa laylayan.

Hindi natatamo ang kapayapaan
Sa pagtikom ng bibig at pananahimik,
Kundi sa pagdamay sa pagsigaw
Sa panawagan ng mga abรขโ€™t naliligaw.

Lilan lamang sa mga lilang lamรกn ang hindi kikilos,
At tutugon sa sinumpaang kredo
Ng konsensyaโ€™t hustisya.

Ang Lupang Hinirang
Ay Lupang Hinarang
Kung may pag-ingos ang bayan
โ€” sa bawat boses ng panawagan,
โ€” sa bawat baliktanaw sa nakaraan.
