March does not only turn a page of a calendar, it opens a chapter of recognition.

This month asks us to pause and truly see the women around us, not as titles or roles, but to acknowledge their sacrifices, their struggles and their courage.

For behind every smile is a history of battles fought in silence.

This month is not merely a celebration, it is a recognition of those women who continue to carve space for themselves in rooms that once refuse them.

To every woman still unfolding, still healing, and still daring to dream. You are a testament to your power.

All roads led to EVRAA 2026.

May you step onto the field with confidence, strength, and determination.

Best of luck to the pride of Taft National High School as you compete in the Eastern Visayas Regional Athletic Association Meet (EVRAAM) 2026.

This is the culmination of all your sacrifices—early mornings, late afternoon practice, and the quiet promise you made to yourselves to become better than yesterday. Every drop of sweat, every stumble, and every small victory along the way has prepared you for this moment.

Today, you carry more than your name on your back. You carry the pride of your school, the cheers of your classmates, and the belief of everyone that has watched you grow into the athletes you are now.

May you play with passion and compete with discipline.

This is your moment to shine.

Not just for the medals, but for the journey, the courage, the sacrifices and the pride of representing Taft National High School.

Fight hard. Aim high.

Go for the win. Go for the gold!

Is it a halo… or just the lens flare of your own delusions? ✨👀
‎
‎They say the best view is from the top, but you’ve settled for a front-row seat to a show where you’re strictly part of the audience. To our “unseen” protagonists who’ve turned staring into a competitive sport: we see you (even if your crush doesn’t) 💔.
‎
‎While the world is busy exchanging chocolates 🍫💌 and sweet nothings, here’s a salute to our Silent Supporters—the masters of loving from a safe, 10-foot social distance. You’ve basically reached a level where you can spot them in a crowd just by the back of their head or the way their voice cuts through a noisy room.
‎
‎Happy Valentine’s Day to the kings and queens of the background! 👑🌟 Your loyalty is unmatched, your patience is legendary, and your yearning level is officially off the charts 📈.

‎Roses are red, violets are blue, she loved the bouquet… but she doesn’t love you. 💐💔
‎
‎Happy Hearts Day to our brave warriors who’ve mastered the art of being the “unpaid life coach” and the “brother she never had.” 🫡 This is your moment to shine—from the sidelines.
‎
‎So, are we all ready to embrace the platonic appreciation today? Take a deep breath, hold that bouquet with pride 🌹, and remember: your patience is blooming—even if your romantic prospects aren’t.✨

We also thank Dr. Antonio Delos Reyes, Schools Division Superintendent; Dr. Raymund Capacite, Assistant Schools Division Superintendent; and Ma’am Marcosa Lavado, Division Secondary Journalism Coordinator, for their direction, leadership, and unwavering support.

Special thanks to the Local Government Unit of Taft, through Mayor Gina Alzate-Ty and Sir Khyle Amancio Ty, for always granting requests and providing for the needs of our campus journalists during trainings and competitions.

Our heartfelt appreciation as well to Sir Justine Jake Eriodico and Sir Jonathan Abogado, and to the Rimando family, for ensuring a safe and smooth journey to Sogod; and to Mrs. Luzviminda Lawas, our school nurse, for looking after our health and for the thoughtful treats during RSPC.

📣 This victory is not an ending—it is a continuation of our commitment to fearless truth, responsible journalism, and student voices that matter.
