🇵🇭 𝘾𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙢, 𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝 ⚖️

Today marks the 𝟭𝟮𝟳𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆—a reminder of the courage and sacrifice that won our freedom in 1898.

As we honor our nation's independence today, may we remember that 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 goes beyond flags and fireworks—it lives in our fight for 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

In times when our leaders are tested and the Senate faces public scrutiny, may we, the youth, remain 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲.

Let’s use our voices to 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 — just like our heroes once did.

𝗠𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗵𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻! 𝗠𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗵𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘀!

𝗖𝗧𝗘 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗘𝗧

On May 9, 2025, the 4th year, graduating students from TLC College of Teacher Education (CTE) attended an academic event called “Let’s Ace this Quiz”. It aims to help students review important topics related topics in preparation to Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET), after graduation.

During the event, students took a written quiz with questions including various subjects such as Life and Works of Rizal, Mathematics, and others.

Afterwards, students checked their own papers. This self-checking method encourages students to reflect on their answers and better understand the correct responses. It also helped them recognize which topics they have mastered and which one needs improvement.

In the later part, students were enlightened through an open forum. Truly, it was not only a review session, but also a chance for students to support each other and learn in a more calm environment. It served as a reminder about the importance of preparation, cooperation, and continuous learning.

As the miting goes by, the candidates did not miss to mention their plans for the betterment of the institution as well as their intention to serve with sincerity, respect, transparency, and an open mind.

The venue was like an eye-opener for the Lewisians to analyze which among the candidates truly deserves a position in the Student Council.

Indeed it was a very wonderful experience for Lewisians to choose the best set of leaders for the upcoming academic year.

Lewisians! Your vote can make a change, and by that, choose wisely to make things possible and create a brighter future.
