| Anti-Bullying Act of 2013: Your Voice Matters

Bullying has been an alarming problem not just in one school, but in many schools across the Philippines. Regarding this issue, the government implemented a law that aims to prevent bullying from happening—Republic Act 10627, or also known as the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013. With this law, students can be protected from all forms of bullying that exist. But we need to make sure that the law does not only stay written on paper—we must ensure that it is properly enforced.

According to RA 10627, all elementary and secondary schools are required to adopt policies to address bullying in their institutions. These include procedures for reporting, investigating, and intervening in cases of bullying. Based on the Department of Education (DepEd) guidelines, schools must also educate students and teachers on the effects of bullying and how to stop it.

However, even with this law, many students still suffer in silence. According to a 2018 report by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), the Philippines ranked as one of the countries with the highest number of students who experienced bullying, with around 65% of Filipino students admitting they were bullied at least a few times a month. That’s more than half of our youth.

The numbers show that the law alone is not enough. It’s important that schools take active steps to implement anti-bullying programs seriously. School heads, teachers, and even students must work together to create a safer and more inclusive environment.

Each voice matters—especially the voices of the victims. Students must be encouraged to speak up without fear of being judged or ignored. Likewise, bystanders also have a role. Silence only empowers the bully. If we want to make our schools a better place, we must all be brave enough to say, “This is not okay.”

RA 10627 was made to protect us—but it needs our effort to truly work. As students, let’s be more aware, more kind, and more active in fighting bullying. If we see something wrong, let’s not turn a blind eye. Change doesn’t start with the law alone—it starts with us.

| BRIGADA ESKWELA 2025: For Readiness and a Better School Environment

Sipalay City National High School (SCNHS) officially launched its Brigada Eskwela kick-off, opening with a caravan parade together with the faculty at SCNHS—wearing their dazzling identical t-shirts with a bolded print, 'Brigada Eskwela '25,' and stakeholders: parents, BFP, PTA President, and students last June 9, with this year's theme, "Brigada Eskwela: Sama-sama Para Sa Bayang Bumabasa". It highlights the critical link between community involvement and literacy development.

BRIGADA ESKWELA PAGHAHANDA is a program of the Department of Education (DepEd) that brings people together to prepare public school facilities for the opening of classes and continues to strengthen the spirit of volunteerism among Filipinos. A week-long Brigada Eskwela (BE) started a week before school opening. Sipalay City National High School has responsible and collaborative teachers, parents, students, and community volunteers across the country to partake in various exercises cast at enhancing school facilities and infrastructure. As the program concludes, with the helping hand of the faculty and SSLG officers, students and parents begin their Brigada within the school campus, cleaning vigorously and assured that there's no mess left behind.

Zyren I. Rendon, an incoming Grade 7 student who came along with her mother to Brigada said, "Since akon mga magulang sa SCNHS ga skwela ligad du gaka excite man ko nga gina kulbaan, kag ga ekspektar man ko nga mag improve kung paano ko mag basa English kag mag suma sa Math." Zyren is just one of those students who once felt the excitement along with the nervousness because of their new environment. But, despite how she felt, she was determined to pursue her studies to have a better life, and with the unwavering support of her mother, she is also inspired to soar high. "Du ka importante man sa Brigada kay du gina preparar ang skwelahan para sa amon nga mga estudyante kag du naka bulig man preparar sa akon kaugalingon para sa Lunes."

The importance of Brigada Eskwela is to prepare schools for the opening of the new school year. Its core objectives are school readiness, community engagement, Bayanihan spirit, improving the learning environment, and strengthening relationships.

SCNHS is grateful to those people who took part and actively volunteered in this Brigada Eskwela 2025.

To conclude, Brigada Eskwela 2025 aims to foster a sense of community and collective responsibility in ensuring that schools are well-prepared for the new academic year, with a focus on literacy and learner development.

| Independence Day Celebration: Do we celebrate genuine freedom?

Today, June 12th, marked another date that is tremendously significant for Filipinos. While some adapt to a mindset like— “ it's just a normal holiday”. Surely, they missed the whole idea why this holiday even exists. Beyond the parades, flag-raising ceremonies, and online tributes, this day must be a reminder of our nation's struggles, its sacrifices and painful losses in pursuit of freeing our country.

Independence Day is not just any “ holiday”, it is the symbol of resilience and unity of Filipino people. According to the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), the 1898 declaration in Kawit, Cavite was the result of centuries of resistance—from Lapu-Lapu’s defiance of Magellan in 1521, to the Philippine Revolution led by the Katipunan in the 1890s. This shows that our ancestors did not fight for personal gains but fought for the nation's rights in governance.

On this time, our so-called “ enemy” has changed into corruption, territorial and economic matters, poverty, especially the current political issues, and so on. That's why, some people question if June 12th Independence Day still matters.

These issues are the reasons why we must value Independence Day. June 12th, Independence Day, is not only a holiday for people in our nation to delve into the past and appreciate the sacrifices made by our ancestors— it is also the reason why we must continue to fight for our commitment to our nation, active citizenship, and justice.

Take the ongoing issue about the West Philippine Sea for example. Based on the article of AP News, according to the Permanent Court of Arbitration (2016), the Philippines holds sovereign rights over key areas in the West Philippine Sea, including features like Scarborough Shoal and portions of the Spratly Islands. The tribunal also rejected China’s expansive “nine-dash line” claim, stating that it has no legal basis under international law. Yet despite this legal victory, China continues to ignore the ruling. Based on recent reports by the Philippine Coast Guard, more than 240 Chinese vessels were observed operating in Philippine waters, blocking resupply missions and harassing local fishers.

It is in this light that we must understand independence not as a finished chapter, but as a continuous effort. This shows that back 1898— isn't the end, it is the beginning of a chapter that people must continue to create for the betterness of our nation.

The current various problems our nation encounters — these issues don't mean to prompt us to fight colonizers with bolos and guns, our weapon today is the truth— upholding truth, promoting good governance, and defending human rights.

As we celebrate Independence Day on June 12th, we must bear in mind that it is not just about remembering our heroes, by appreciating the sacrifices they made to free our country. But also a reminder to become responsible citizens, who fight for the right, who defend the vulnerable, to be the voice of the unheard. In this little way, we, mere people, can become a hero in our own way where genuine independence truly reigns.
