Hello, October! So glad you're already here.

Everything seemed to be in constant lightning motion, but may this month be full of calmness and solemn soul-searching.

Boto mo, Kinabukasan ko

Ang paggising sa katotohanan na ang mga boto na galing sa bawat mamamayang pilipino sa panahon ng eleksyon, institusyonal man o pambansa ay mahalaga. Malaki ang bahagi nito sa kaunlaran o sa pagbagsak ng mga nasabing aspeto.
Bukod pa rito ay ang pagboto ng tama, kung saan hindi pera ang basehan kundi ang kagustuhan at determinasyong tulungan na umunlad at panatilihing payapa ang isang komunidad.

Isinagawa na ang Meeting De Avance 2025 sa institusyon ng Aces Tagum College bilang paghahanda sa eleksyon ng naturang kolehiyo, kung saan naganap ang kanya-kanyang paglatag ng mga plataporma ng magkabilang partidong magkatunggali at ang pagbuhos ng mga katanungan galing sa madla. Ang programang ito ay kailangan sapagkat dito nasusukat at natitimbang kung alin ang mas karapatdapat na botohin ng mga mag-aaral sa kolehiyong tinutukoy. Makikilatis ng mabuti at magagampanan ng mga estudyante ang kanilang parte sa pamamagitan ng tamang pagboto.

Sa kabilang dako, natapos na ang eleksyon 2025 sa pang lokal, panlalawigan, at pambansa, at kasalukuyan nang namamahala ang mga nanalo. Dito makikita ang partisipasyon ng taong bayan sa pagpili ng mga ihahalal. Sana hindi lamang sa institusyon gamitin ng mga kabataan ang karapatan sa pagboto, kundi pati na rin sa pambansang bahagi.

Gayunpaman, mabibigyan kaya ng hustisya ang mga boto ng mamamayang pilipino kung makikita ngayon sa bansa natin ang kaliwa't kanang mga suliranin, kagaya na lamang ng krimen, kahirapan, at ang kawalan ng agarang solusyon sa idinulot ng mga kalamidad kamakailan lang? O sadyang mga walang muwang lang talaga ang ating mga binoto? Ito ay nagsisilbing paalala na ang ating bayan ay nangangailangan ng responsableng pamamahala, hindi mga taong uhaw sa salapi.

Samakatuwid, ang pag-angat ng lipunan ay nakasalalay sa ating mga utak at kamay. Matuto sana tayo at maging wais sa pagpili ng mga kandidato, isiping sila ang hahawak ng bansa at ng ating kinabukasan. Dapat ihalal ang may alam, tapat, responsable, at tunay na may malasakit sa kapwa pilipino. Huwag tayong mangmang.

ᴛᴡᴏ ᴅᴀʏꜱ, ᴄᴏᴜɴᴛʟᴇꜱꜱ ʟᴇꜱꜱᴏɴꜱ: ɪɴꜱɪᴅᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʙᴏᴏᴛᴄᴀᴍᴘ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇ

I often viewed bootcamps as boring and a waste of time and energy. But my vision changed the moment I joined the two-day Leadership and Emergency Response Training Program held at Aces Tagum College Inc. last August 23-24, 2025. I honestly expected it to be uninteresting before it happened. However, what surprised me most was that it turned out to be productive, joyful, full of laughter, and lessons, which made it one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.

What made the bootcamp even more exciting was that the trainers and lecturers made it fun to motivate the participants and keep us engaged. Not only that—during first aid operation demonstrations, we were separated into four groups, and each group was very competitive. Every minute counted with limited preparation time. This encouraged us to focus on developing strategies and essential skills that will help us perform at our best.

Additionally, I considered the Rope Rescue Training (RRT) as the toughest training. Initially, I was hesitant to try it, but with my peers’ encouragement, I decided to give it a shot. As a result, I felt as if I had unlocked a new core memory of my life.

Even though we were all truly exhausted because of those sleepless nights and endless tasks, the experiences and knowledge that we shared, and the friendships that we built during the bootcamp will always be in our hearts. We might be tired, but we were happy.

Because of the bootcamp, we had the opportunity to gain the most important lessons, skills, and techniques, allowing us to learn quickly, efficiently, and resiliently, which will lead to significant improvements in our ability to serve and offer help to those in need.

While the two-day training may seem limited in its duration, it enhanced skills, prompting participants to find innovative ways to figure out the lessons quickly, and this built us into resilient future leaders. Overall, the bootcamp may be over, but the lessons, the inside jokes, the laughter, and the friendships we built will last far longer than the exhaustion.
