“Because the funny thing about the Ber months is that they return every year, but we never do.”

The sentence caught my attention as I turned off my phone after reading all the posts about the Ber months. The months seem to pass so quickly. One moment, it is just another ordinary day, and the next, Christmas is already waiting around the corner.

I got up when I heard noises outside.

There was my four-year-old brother, dancing with excitement while holding a little Santa sock. That sock would be his little bag for Santa’s gift.

Then, he gave me one.

I stared at the sock in my hand.

For him, it was something to get excited about. A little sock that would soon hold a Christmas gift. For me, it became a small reminder of how differently I experience the Ber months now.

As a child, I used to look forward to this season with the same kind of excitement. Christmas lights, carolers outside, Christmas songs playing everywhere it was enough to make the whole season feel special.

Now, as a college student, the Ber months arrive in between classes, group chats, school requirements, plans with friends, and the little chaos that comes with being a student. The season is still exciting, but it comes with a few more things to carry.

And maybe that is what growing up feels like.

The things we carry change.

My brother carries a little Santa sock, waiting for it to be filled with something he will love.

I carry a school bag filled with notebooks, papers, and things I need to finish before Christmas break.

But somehow, both of us are still waiting for the same season.

Christmas.

Maybe that is the beauty of the Ber months. They come back every year, bringing the same lights, songs, and familiar feeling but they meet a different version of us each time.

The sock in my hand may be meant for a child waiting for a gift.

But for a moment, it made me realize that growing older does not mean we stop looking forward to Christmas.

We simply start carrying different things while we wait for it.

Kagitingan, Katapangan, Katatagan? Ano nga ba ang ibig sabihin ng pagiging isang bayani? Kinakailanan bang magkaroon ng batayan upang maituring na isang magiting?

May bayaning nagsabing bumalik sa pinanggalingan
nang malaman ang paroroonan, hindi pala tuwid ang daan. Umiikot ito pabalik kailangan lumingon, patungong silangan, kung saan ako isinilang, Silangan-an. Kung saan naroon ang pinanggalingan. galing saan? kung saan ako gumaling at gumagaling at gagaling at sa kung saan ako nanggaling. Pinang-galingan, galing yaman ng tubig, ng hangin, ng lupa,
yamang diwa at diwata. Ang tunay na hilaga naroon sa silangan, palingon sa pinanggalingan. Mga bayani
lamang ang nagbabalik- bayan.

"Sa manlulupig, di ka pasisiil”— taludtod mula sa Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas na nagpapaalala sa kanilang katapangan at pakikibaka sa mga mapang-api na nais lupugin ang ating bayan. Sa gitna ng mga pagdududa at tuloy-tuloy na pagbabaluktot sa ating kasaysayan, napakahalaga na makilala ang lahat ng bayani ng bayan—noon at ngayon, sikat man o hindi, na buong tapang at buong giting na naghandog ng kanilang buhay hindi para sa kadakilaan kundi para sa kapakanan ng nakararami

Isang araw lang ang ibinigay nating igalang ang mga dakilang pangalan at gunitain ang araw nating nakamit ang kalayaan at kasarinlan. Inilalaan ang huling Lunes ng Agosto para parangalan ang kagitingan ng mga bayaning nakatatak na sa kasaysayan. Ngunit ang Pambansang Araw ng mga Bayani ay hindi lamang para sa mga nakatala sa mga aklat ng kasaysayan, kundi para rin sa pagkilala sa mga taong ni minsa’y hindi na aninag ang mukha ngunit nagsasarili sa bayan sa mga paraan na madalas ay hindi napapansin at naililiban lamang.

Mga kapatid, tayo ay sandaling magnilay-nilay upang gunitain ang mga kuwento ng ating mga tanyag na bayani—sina Jose Rizal, Emilio Aguinaldo, Gabriela Silang, at Andres Bonifacio,at marami pang iba—mga kababaihan at kalalakihang hinubog ng panahon hirap, at pagdurusa na ang kagitingan at katapangan ay dangal sa nakaraan, kasalukuyan, at hinaharap.

Bagamat, ang kasaysayan ng kanilang kabayanihan ay hindi nagwawakas sa kanilang kapanahunan. Mga pamanang karunungan na nagsisilbing tanglaw sa kasalukuyan at susunod pang salinlahi. Tinatak sa ating isipan na mamuhay nang may layunin —ilalaan ang buhay sa mga bagay na may kahalagahan at kabuluhan. Sa kasalukuyang panahon, nasasaksihan din natin ang pag-usbong ng mga makabagong bayani ng makabagong panahon. Tulad ng ating mga magsasaka na araw-araw nakikibaka upang magkaroon tayo ng kanin sa hapag, mga kawani ng kalusugan at manggagamot na ating masasandalan upang mapabuti ang kalusugan, mga nagkakawanggawa para sa mabubuting adhikain, doon din ang mga taong nag-lalahad ng kamay upang tumulong na magaanan ang pasanin ng kapwa—mga karaniwan, at simpleng mamamayan na tumitindig sa hindi inaasahan at pangkaraniwang panahon. Maaaring walang mga monumento na itinayo para sa kanila, ngunit ang kanilang panglilingkod at pagbibigay serbisyo, sakripisto, at kabutihang-loob ang siyang nagpapanatili sa mitsa ng sangkatauhan.

Ipinakikita nila sa atin na ang kabayanihan ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa mga dakilang labanan na ipinamalas sa nakaraan, kundi isinasabuhay hanggang sa kasalukuyan.

Gayunpaman, ang tunay na kabayanihan ay hindi naghahangad ng parangal at papuri; ito ay nananahan sa puso ng sinumang handang magsilbi sa bayan at mag-aruga ng pagkamakabayan. At dambana marahil ng pinakamataas na pagpupugay sa ating mga bayani ay ang mamuhay bawat araw na may kaparehong tapang, pag-ibig, at pag-asa na kanilang ibinuhos para sa inang bayan.

Mawawala na ang kaba kapag tayo'y nakiisa, nagmahal at namulat na.

Tampok ang mga mag-aaral mula sa iba't ibang departamento ng NISU sa Sara, lahat ay dumalo sa selebrasyon ng Buwan ng Wika na may temang "Wikang Filipino At AI: Kasangkapan sa Pananaliksik at Tulay sa Yaman ng Impormasyon," sa Bulwagang Pampalakasan ng Pamantasan, Agosto 28, 2026.

Layunin ng programang maghatid ng impormasyon at pagpapahalaga sa Wikang Pambansa lalo na sa panahon ng makabagong teknolohiya kung saan mas dumarami ang gumagamit ng Artificial Intelligent (AI).

"Sa panahong kayang sagutin ng AI ang maraming tanong, maging kabataang pilipinong marunong maging mapagtanong, masunurin, at mag-isip, sapagkat ang teknolohiya ay kasangkapan lamang. Ngunit ang talino at puso ng pilipino ang tunay na lumilikha ng pagbabago," saad ni Prop. Marlon J. Calseña Tagapayo, FLP.

Tampok dito ang iba't ibang patimpalak na itinanghal ng mga mag-aaral sa pangunguna ng Supreme Student Council(SSC), Future Leaders of the Philippines (FLP), at iba pang mga organisasyon sa tulong ng Pangulo ng Unibersidad Dr. Raffy B. Chavez, kagaya na lamang ng Pagkukuwento, Madasig nga Dula, Radyo Naton, at Tingog Naton.

Sa kanyang pagtatapos na mensahe, ipinaalala ni Ms. Maybel C. Francisco , Direktor ng OSAS sa mga mag-aaral ang tunay na halaga ng wika. Ayon sa kanya, higit pa sa pagiging kasangkapan sa komunikasyon ang wika. Ito ang humuhubog sa ating pagkatao at nagbubuklod sa ating pagka-bansa.

Sa diwa ng pagmamahal sa sariling wika at kulturang Filipino, isinagawa ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika 2026 na may temang “Wikang Filipino at AI: Kasangkapan sa Pananaliksik at Tulay sa Yaman ng Impormasyon.”

Tampok sa programa ang mga mensahe mula sa mga pinuno ng pamantasan, pagbasa ng mga alituntunin, pagkilala sa mga hurado, at iba’t ibang paligsahan na nagbigay-diin sa husay, talento, at malikhaing paggamit ng wikang Filipino.

Mula sa mga awiting makabayan hanggang sa makukulay na pagtatanghal at patimpalak, muling pinatunayan ng mga Iskolar ng Bayan na ang wika ay hindi lamang paraan ng pakikipag-ugnayan, kundi tulay sa pagkakakilanlan, kultura, at kaalaman.
