๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—ข๐—ž | SSC Delegates Join CHED National Student Well-being Summit 2026

LAUREL, BATANGAS โ€” The Supreme Student Council (SSC) of Saint Tonis College, Inc. (STCI) participated in the Commission on Higher Educationโ€™s (CHED) โ€œGinhawa Student Well-being Summit: Inspiring Wellness, Leadership, and Purpose in Higher Education,โ€ held on June 3โ€“4, 2026, at Twin Lakes Hotel along the Tagaytayโ€“Nasugbu Highway in Laurel, Batangas.

Representing the institution at the national gathering were SSC Treasurer Simplicio Bado Jr., and CCIT Representative Richburge Padilla, along with their Adviser, Kyla Angnas. The delegation joined student leaders, student affairs practitioners, and higher education stakeholders from various institutions across the country.

The participation of the delegation was made possible through the support of School President Kathleen Rose L. Guimbatan, Ed.D. The delegation attended the two-day summit as representatives of the college in discussions and activities focused on student well-being and leadership in higher education.

The summit served as a venue for discussions on student wellness, mental health, leadership, and meaningful engagement in higher education. Participants attended plenary sessions, workshops, and breakout discussions that examined issues affecting students and student leaders in contemporary academic settings.

Throughout the event, delegates participated in interactive activities and collaborative sessions focused on student well-being, leadership development, and student support systems within higher education institutions. Discussions also covered approaches to strengthening student services and fostering environments that support students' academic and personal development.

The summit provided opportunities for participants to exchange experiences and practices with representatives from different colleges and universities nationwide. Through group discussions and networking activities, delegates engaged in conversations on student-centered initiatives and the role of student organizations in promoting wellness and leadership.

Organized by CHED, the Ginhawa Student Well-being Summit brought together stakeholders from various regions of the country to participate in discussions and activities related to student support, engagement, and well-being.

The STCI delegation completed the summit and participated in its various sessions and activities alongside representatives from higher education institutions across the Philippines.

๐—Ÿ๐—”๐—ง๐—›๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—”๐—œ๐—ก | Pine tree
Sa ilalim ng langit na kulay abo,
Ako'y tahimik na nakaupo
Sa ilalim ng punong minsan,
Naging saksi sa lahat ng ating nakaraan.

Dito tayo dating tumatawaโ€™t kumakanta,
Binubuo ang pangarap, humihiling sa mga tala.
Ngunit dumaan ang panahon, hanging ay nag-iba
bigla lang naglaho, kinalimutan ang pangako.

Kaya ngayon akoโ€™y nag-iisa,
Sa ilalim ng punong hawak ang alaala.
Hinahanap ang init ng โ€˜yong mga yakap,
Mga matang kumikislap.

O Puno de Pino, tanglaw ng nakaraan,
iyong sagutin ang aking katanungan,
Sa bawat pagkalagas ng dahon mong luntian,
Ako'y mananatili, maghihintay sa punong dating tagpuan.

๐—Ÿ๐—”๐—ง๐—›๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—”๐—œ๐—ก | Gag* ba ako?

Umamin ako saโ€™yo dahil gusto kita.
Hindi dahil handa na ako, kundi dahil ayokong magsinungaling sa nararamdaman ko.

Pero kasabay ng pag-amin na iyon ang mga takot na matagal ko nang dala,
Mga sugat na hindi pa tuluyang naghihilom,
Mga responsibilidad na hindi ko pa kayang akuin,
Mga pangakong hindi ko pa kayang panindigan.

Kaya pinili kong lumayo...

Hindi dahil nilaro kita,
Hindi dahil may iba,
Kundi dahil ayokong dalhin ka sa isang buhay na hindi ko pa kayang ayusin.

Lahat ng sinabi ko noon ay totoo,
Ang paghanga, pag-aalala, at pagmamahal.

Ngunit minsan, hindi sapat ang pagmamahal kung hindi ka pa handang maging taong kailangan ng iba.

Patawad kung nasaktan kita,
Kung kaya mo, kalimutan mo na ako.

Dahil hanggang ngayon, ikaw pa rin ang gusto ko.
Ngunit ako pa rin ang dahilan kung bakit yung "ikaw at ako" ay hindi naging "tayo".

๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—ง๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—ฌ | โ€ŽSayang?
โ€Ž
โ€ŽSome say, "Hindi ka tatanggapin ng lipunan." Others whisper, "Sayang ka."
โ€Ž
โ€ŽBut how can a person be a waste simply because they chose to be honest about who they are?
โ€Ž
โ€ŽFor years, many members of the LGBTQIA+ community have carried words heavier than stones. Words that made them question their worth. Words that tried to convince them that they did not belong.
โ€Ž
โ€Ž"Sayang ka."
โ€ŽAs if a person's value depends on fitting into someone else's expectations.
โ€Ž
โ€Ž"Hindi ka tatanggapin ng lipunan."
โ€ŽAs if acceptance should be earned rather than given.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽYet despite these words, they continue to rise. They continue to love, dream, achieve, and inspire. Their existence is proof that authenticity is not a weakness. It is courage.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThey say, "The bravest closets are not made of wood, but of fear." Every person who chooses to step out of that fear writes a story of strength.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThis Pride Month, let us remember that no one is "sayang" for being themselves. No one deserves to be rejected simply because their identity is different.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽBecause freedom is not about changing who you are to be accepted. Freedom is about being accepted for who you are.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽSo, what color is freedom?
โ€ŽPerhaps it is every color of the rainbow, standing together and saying:
โ€Ž
โ€Ž"Hindi ako sayang. Hindi ako pagkakamali. Karapat-dapat din akong tanggapin."

This June, we celebrate with pride the rainbow community โ€“ the LGBTQIA+++ and their invaluable contributions to various sectors in the society. While the community continues to fight for equality, a little but helpful step we can do is to make them feel less alone, that they are accepted, that they have a place in this world and that they are free to express and be themselves without being judged. Be kind, be proud and be yourself. The Tonisian Reflectors celebrate with you! Happy Pride Month! ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ
