𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 | 𝗖𝗢𝗦-𝗦𝗖 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟮-𝗶𝗻-𝟭 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿

Tarlac State University College of Science Student Council (TSU COS-SC) gathered student leaders for the "2-in-1: Student Leaders' Assembly and Leadership Training Seminar" last October 3, 2026, held at the Center for Food Technology and Research Audio-Visual Room (CFTR AVR), TSU Lucinda Campus.

Centering around the theme "Soul's Purpose: Every Heart, One Sole Purpose," the day-long event aimed to foster unity, leadership skills, and organizational alignment among student representatives for the Academic Year 2026-2027.

Seven organizations from COS participated at the event: COS-SC, TSU Chemical Society, Philippine Association of Food Technologists, Inc. - Chi Chapter (PAFT-CHI), COS-Red Cross Youth Council (COS-RCYC), The Fusion, and TSU Environmental Society.

The morning session started with opening preliminaries, followed by the Soulbound Oath - Oath of Service, Soul Assembly - Business Session, and Echoes of Wisdom-Open Forum with COS Dean, Dr. Mary Jane N. Rigor.

The afternoon session started at 2:10PM, where participants actively participated in the icebreaker.

Following, One Sole Purpose - Keynote Address shortly started where Ms. Clarise Ann Dacanay, Former Governor of College of Arts and Social Sciences, gave an insightful talk about leadership and to remember the leaders' purpose to serve.

"If your how rumbles, the why endures. Ibig sabihin, kapag wala nang nagme-make sense—kapag lahat ng bagay sa student leadership ay contradicting na sa purpose mo o sa nangyayari sa inyo, your why will serve as the key for your endurance," Ms. Dacanay expressed during the keynote address.

Subsequently, Soul Unity - Team Building commenced with 4 teams competing—Pilay, 911, Pink Panties, and Adonis.

The day-long event concluded with Determination - Awarding ceremony, where the winning teams, as well as the organizations who attended, were recognized.

𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆 | 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿

I guess it is true what they say about learning; you never really stop— no matter the time that’s elapsed from then to now.

From sitting in the shelter of four walls, with a podium at the front and center, a whiteboard behind, discussing, talking. While some take notes and others are in a world of their own.

I’ve daydreamed about the day when I finally stopped learning, stopped reading, stopped doing the arithmetic with my head and hands.

Yet I’ve realized that now, even outside of that shelter, things stay the same.

Learning, relearning, and unlearning things that were once taught but were buried under years—decades’ worth of lessons being piled on top of the other. The clamor outside in the corridor doesn’t go away; but changes into something new.

Once upon a time, I had wished it were different. Once upon a time, I had thought it to be a cage, yet now, I understood. The shelter I had grown in, groaned about, were the stepping stones to anew, to a light, to a life I had once dreamed about.

One could say that learning never stops in a classroom, but the roots of knowledge grow within it, nurtured and cherished by those we call our second parents. The shelter of those four walls, with a podium front and center, where they stood, with the whiteboard behind them, were where the seeds of knowledge and learning grew strong and fierce.

Unyielding yet cherished; hungry yet nourished. Learning never stops in the classroom, teachers never stopped at a profession, and the mind never stops thirsting for knowledge. Like children, it grows and longs to be cherished, in the shelter, with a guide. Even in the dark.

𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 | Angelo’s Angle: Behind The Fusion’s Art

Just as Earth without Art is just ‘Eh’, The Fusion with Angelo’s artistic angle found its purposeful alignment.

Within a collegiate student publication, stories are often measured by how the words that make it to the page, but the way those words are seen can shape how they are remembered, with an art director’s eye giving each story its own visual identity.

From Environmental Science to visual artistry, Kuya Angelo gave an external insight not only into his area of expertise, but also into the visual identity of The Fusion. Most will probably never notice the few pixels he moved around, the space he adjusted, the letter he aligned, or the picture he cropped. Nevertheless, those minor moves have contributed to making the magazine feel like ours. He taught us that design is not only about making a good-looking page; design is about providing students with the necessary voices to convey their message.

Congratulations, Kuya Angelo, on this milestone. May you find, wherever your work takes you, new angles worth chasing and small details worth lingering over. But wherever your work takes you, and wherever in the world your eye finds something worth creating, may what comes next give you wider frames, stranger angles, and stories worthy of the careful eye you have always carried.

𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆| Kwento-kwento “Lang” ni Lolo?

“Lo, parang hindi naman pala totoo mga sinabi mo tungkol sa martial law.”

“Dad, Marcos na naman? Hindi ka pa ba nag-sasawa kakakwento?”

“𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻? 𝗞𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗮 𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮, 𝗮𝗹𝗶 𝗸𝗮 𝗽𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝘀𝗮𝘄𝗮?”

Limampu’t apat na taon.

Fifty-four years.

Ika-21 ng Setyembre, taong 1972, ideneklara ng dating pangulong Marcos ang batas militar. At ilang araw lang ang nakalipas at inanunsyo niya sa radyo at telebisyon. Naalala ko pa, naka-upo ako sa tapat ng telebisyon, ang telebisyong napulot ni tatang sa gilid ng daan at ni-repair gamit ang mga nakita niya sa junk shop ni Bapang Kaloy.

Hindi maganda ang kalidad, halos hindi marinig ang boses ng mga nasa loob, pero tunay na sa’min. Gamit namin, kahit na itinapon na’t sira-sira. Ang ima’y nasa kusina, ang tatang nasa likod ko, naka-upo sa sopa’t nakasimangot habang lumabas ang mga katagang nagbago sa buong dekada.

“𝘔𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘮𝘦𝘯. 𝘈𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 21𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩. 𝘐 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘕𝘰. 1081 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘢𝘸. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 9 𝘰’𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 22𝘯𝘥, 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.”

Isa lamang akong puslit noon, halos walang maintindihan sa kanyang isinambit, pero naramdaman ko ang bigat ng kanyang mga salita. Hindi dahil nang-galing ito sa presidente, ngunit dahil nakita ko ang expresyon ni ima at ni tatang.

Masama ba ‘to? Mahihirapan ba kami lalo? Ano na ang mangyayari sa’min? Kahit naman na edad ko noon, naiintindihan ko na mahirap lang kami, na kahit pa sabihin ng pangulo na paraan ito para ma-kontrol ang mga komunista, ang mga terrorista, kung kami naman ang pag-iinitan ng kung sino, wala kaming laban.

Mahirap ang walang kalaban-laban. Mahirap maging mahirap.

Mula noon hanggang ngayon, wala naman ipinagbago roon.

Naalala ko pa noong dinakip si tatang. Walang sere-seremonyang pinasok ang bahay habang ako at ang ima nasa kusina, nag-luluto habang ako naman, ginagawa ang ipinauwi na takdang aralin ni Ma’am Santos. Hindi nanlaban si tatang dahil tinutukan siya ng baril, armalite, hanggang ngayon hindi ko alam kung anong klase ito. Niyakap ako ni ima habang nilalayo kay tatang, umiiyak ako, sumisigaw ako, nanghihingi ako ng tulong.

“Hindi ba dapat prinoprotektahan niyo kami?!” Naalala kong sigaw ko bago ako sampalin ng sundalong naka-tapat sa’kin, habang ang isa nama’y pilit na inaalis ako sa bisig ni ima. Nagmamakaawa si tatang, nagmamakaawa ang ima, sinusubukan ni tatang pumiglas, sinusubukan ni ima na hindi ako maalis sa bisig niya, kahit noon, alam ko na kung ano yung plano nila.

Kay ima.

Kay tatang.

Sa akin.

Sinikmuraan ng sundalo si ima bago puwersahang binitbit sa kwarto. Tinamaan naman si tatang ng sundalong nakahawak sa kanya ng pwetan ng baril.

Ipinasok si ima.

Pwersahang nilabas si tatang.

Hanggang ngayon naririnig ko ang pagmamakaawa ni tatang.

Hanggang ngayon naririnig ko pa rin ang ungol at pag-hagulgol ni ima.

Naalala ko pa rin kung paano siya iwan ng mga ito. Naalaa ko pa rin na hindi na namin nakita si tatang.

Ni bangkay wala.

Noon, nalulunod kami sa takot.

Ngayon, nilulunod tayo ng korapsyon.

“Oo,” sambit ko. “Hindi ako nagsasawa,” sunod ko, binaling ako ng tingin ng anak at apo ko. Na para bang sila ang may akay-akay ng mga alaalang ito.

“Dahil hindi naman tinitigilan ng mga berdugong pulitiko ang pag-gaya sa kanya. Hindi rin naman nagsasawa ang mga sadistang loyalista niya na dipensahan ang pamilya niya.” Dinuro ko silang dalawa “H’wag na h’wag ninyong kakalimutan na habang kayo naririnig niyo lang ang mga kwento ko, ako, naging buhay ko ‘yon.”

Walang makakalimot. Walang ibabaon sa limot.

Dahil walang pinag-iba ang mag-ama.
