‎As the central theme of World Environment Day 2026, we are reminded that the answer to climate change lies in the very world that sustains us.
‎
‎Thus, may we, as humans, continue making sustainable choices for the betterment of our environment. Through this, we can create a future built with nature itself.

is no mere burst of color, neither a parade, neither a flag waving high.

It is the voice of those who learned to smile while carrying hurt inside.

It is for the ones who were told to be quiet, to be careful, to hide their truth from the light, because in a world that loves to judge too quickly, being honest can feel like a fight.

It is for the ones who are still afraid to come out, not because they are ashamed of who they are, but because too many people still make fear feel like a scar. And still, they are here - alive, real, & brave - loving in ways the heart was born to save.

Pride is deeper than labels, deeper than likes and dislikes, deeper than who you hold close when the day turns cold.

Pride Month is a reminder that being a member of the rainbow community is not a trend, not a phase, neither something to pretend - but it's a human truth, a valid existence, a story that deserves respect, not to bend.

So this month, we celebrate not only with glitter and songs, but with courage for those who have been silent too long.

We honor the ones who were mocked, rejected, and made to feel small, yet still chose to stand, still chose to not fall.

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲.

It is the message that every person deserves love without fear, and a place in society. Because at the heart of Pride, beyond the rainbow and the cheers, is this simple, powerful belief: "You are , you are , and you have always here."

The Light Publication's former journalists who have graduated entered the newsroom as curious minds, carrying questions waiting to be answered. Through the years, they wove stories that captured the spirit of the entire SLSU-TO community.

They wrote beyond ink and paper. Now, they turn the page to a new chapter of their lives.

As they step beyond the halls of the university, they carry with them more than bylines.

To our graduates, may your words continue to echo through the pages of tomorrow.

Because, once a journalist, always a journalist.

However,

No more overnight stays in the office.
No more writing articles.
No more coverage.

The end of a milestone, but the beginning of a new journey.

And finally—this is it! After years of shared hard work and perseverance, all has paid off.

As we graduate and end this beautiful era, we are now ready to venture into the reality outside the school perimeter.

And as we take our final biyahe with this jeep to success, may we remember the sacrifices we had throughout this whole trip, which will serve as our inspiration to make an impact on society.

Gunit ug Maayo kay kita hapit nang molampos! Padayon, ug Salamat, SLSU!

| Another year in college has passed, and with every challenge, lesson, and late-night effort, we continue to grow into wiser and more capable versions of ourselves. We carry the knowledge and strength that bring us one step closer to our dreams.

Ma, pa, I am one step closer to earning that degree.
