𝗖𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗠𝗔𝗦 𝗗𝗔𝗬, 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗦 𝗨𝗦 𝗛𝗢𝗠𝗘

Christmas Day rises like a quiet hymn in the heart of the world. For us Filipinos, it is more than a celebration—it is a season of the soul. From decorating their homes as soon as “ber months” start to the final glow of Christmas morning, faith and family weave together like candlelight and prayer. Across the world, this day is marked by many languages and traditions, yet all look toward the same sky, guided by a single promise: Light was born into the darkness, and hope took its first breath.

Back when we were children, Christmas felt like a miracle we could touch with just a letter to Santa Claus. We would decorate those letters in red and green, then draw snowflakes, stars or gifts; while we, and the rest of the world, anticipated for the actual day. Parols glowed like fallen stars, kids caroled door to door, and as soon as the day arrived, every gift felt enchanted. As we grew older, the magic seemed to soften; Christmas became quieter, shaped by responsibilities, and sometimes it can reach a point where families aren’t able to celebrate as a whole.

Yet like the Star of Bethlehem, its light never truly faded—it simply learned to guide us in gentler ways, reminding us that Christmas is not about what lies beneath the tree, but about a humble birth that continues to speak to tired and unseen hearts, assuring us that light is present even in moments of weakness.

As this sacred season unfolds, Saint Mary’s Angels College of Valenzuela extends its warmest Christmas greetings to the entire community. May everyone have a Merry Christmas—whether surrounded by family, sharing a smile with strangers, or quietly alone. As the song goes, this is the season to be jolly, every heart deserves a moment of peace, every soul a touch of joy, and every life a reminder that Christmas, in its deepest meaning, belongs to all. May the Star that once led shepherds and kings continue to guide our hearts as we grow older.

📖 𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | I Wish Christmas Would Never End

Hi, I’m Cindy, and I’m so excited for Christmas! I've heard so much about it, and this would be the first one I experience with my Family back in the Philippines. They are so busy today, so many people moving around our house, carrying so much stuff!

Christmas is so close; I can’t wait for the gifts underneath that tree; I can’t wait for the ampaos that Ninang and Ninong always give! I could buy so much toys with those colorful bills—I wish I could hold them right now!

𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘂𝗽!

I can’t wait for the fantastic food that we always eat during Christmas, Lola and Nanay always makes the yummiest spaghetti! Pair that with Tita’s fruit salad and Tito Boy’s lumpia, and i’m drooling just thinking about it!

𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘂𝗽!

I can’t wait to listen to Lolo sing at karaoke night, he has such a great voice for someone as old as him! His favorite songs are “Christmas in Our Hearts” and “Sana Ngayong Pasko”. He knows their karaoke numbers by heart! I can’t wait to hear my family sing their hearts out. Why can’t Christmas come sooner?

𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘂𝗽!

I can’t wait to see those handmade star-lanterns! I just can’t remember what they’re called.

𝘏𝘮𝘮...𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬...

PAROLS! Yes, they’re just so pretty! So much colors and their blinking lights! I want one of those at home but I think they’re too expensive. Nonetheless, I can’t wait to see them this Christmas up close!

𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘂𝗽!

I wish Christmas would just hurry up, and I guess it is! The day is finally ending, Christmas Eve is finally almost over! Nanay tells me to get ready for bed, our house goes from loud and busy to quiet and calm. I get ready for bed.

I brush my teeth and put my red and green pajamas on. Everybody at our house is now asleep. I’m so excited for tomorrow, I can’t even close my eyes! I just look at the clock…

𝙏𝙞𝙘𝙠, 𝙏𝙞𝙘𝙠, 𝙏𝙞𝙘𝙠

But then something creates a loud noise downstairs, the bells attached to our door come alive.

𝙏𝙞𝙣𝙜-𝙖-𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜-𝙖-𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜

I come downstairs slowly down our steep cold metal staircase. I see a large man dressed in red, kneeling down with his back turned away from me. What was he kneeling for? I slowly come closer and before I tap his shoulder, he says, “Hello, little girl,” in an old man’s voice.

I reply with my own greeting. This man was Santa!

I ask him why he is kneeling and he tells me “I am kneeling to greet Him,” pointing at the baby placed on the table beside our Christmas Tree. “Who is he?” I ask curiously, “Mama and Papa say they always put him and his parents beside the tree when Christmas comes.”

“He is the meaning of Christmas, he is the Baby Jesus.” Santa said, holding his hat.

I look at the cute face of the baby, he is happy and so are his parents. I feel safe around the baby. “Who is Jesus, Santa?” I ask him.

“You will find out who he is,” He says patting my back and leaving a present. “Go back to sleep. your Nanay will get mad if she sees you.”

'Jesus? Meaning of Christmas?' Sounds a bit weird to me. I always thought gifts, foods and karaoke was the meaning of Christmas. Who is this Jesus baby? But he seems nice. We wake up early the next day to go to this beautiful place which Nanay says is church.

The church is big and Jesus is also there, still a baby but a bit larger than at home. An older man steps on top of the table placed in the front of the church, he is dressed in white and gold. He says that, “Christmas is a time where we must get to know Jesus,” and I instantly remember Santa’s words.

“He is God’s son who has come to live with us, who has come to save us.”

Christmas feels better when Jesus is here. 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗱!

📰 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 | Successful Outreach Program concludes, hosted at Mother of the Divine Providence Parish

PAYATAS, QUEZON CITY—As Saint Mary’s Angels College of Valenzuela (SMACV) persists in their endeavors of inspiring future leaders that respond to the needs of society, students of the Supreme Student Council and selected members from TINTA participated in an Outreach Program hosted by the Mother of the Divine Providence Parish on December 16, 2025.

The Outreach Program is annually practiced by the institution, with the Dumagat Tribe of Ipo Dam being the primary beneficiaries. This year marks the first of many achievements as SMACV extends its donations to the community of Payatas where many families are also in need of support. The officers and campus journalists, together with the SSC advisers, devoted their time to personally distributing the goods to those who were present, while also ensuring that every individual was comfortable and had the assistance they needed.

Some students were also given the opportunity to hand out donations personally to the individuals who were bedridden, and unable to visit the parish by paying a visit to where they were housed, observing proper etiquette and respect during their stay. The day ended with the students praying over the community of Payatas, Gods blessing being felt throughout the success of this initiative.

📖 𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | I am the Immaculate Conception

On the 11th of February 1858, fourteen-year-old French girl, Bernadette, would see, for the first time, a mysterious lady in her hometown of Lourdes. Bernadettes encounters with this lady would continue over a course of five months, from February to July, and the French maiden would see her a total of eighteen times.

It all started when Bernadette, her sister, and her friend would try to gather firewood around the Grotto of Massabielle. The girls would encounter a river blocking their way, and in their preparation to cross it, Bernadette would realize she had to remove her stockings to get past. This, in turn, made her stay to keep her bearings while her sister and friend carried on. Bernadette searched the cave structure's highs and lows for a place to cross in hopes of not getting wet, but it was to no avail.

Upon arriving to the conclusion that there was no other way, she finally decided to cross the stream and removed her stockings, but then—

𝘈 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳.
𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘦.

A wild rose swayed in the midst of the Grotto, catching Bernadettes eyes, light seeping from the cracks of the cave and illuminating its peculiarity in the darkness. The girl looked up at the alcove behind and there, Bernadette finally saw, a lady dressed in the purest of white with a blue sash cascading down her body. Bernadette hurriedly took out her rosary, attempting to make the Sign of the Cross but being unable to.

Bernadettes hands were shaking, but when this lady made the Sign herself—it was only then that Bernadette was able to as well, as if a representation of how we imitate the divine. Bernadette proceeded to recite the Rosary and then the lady disappeared. These instances would continue for quite some time and Bernadette was forbidden to return to the Grotto by her parents on numerous occasions. On the third apparition of the 18th of February, the lady would ask Bernadette to visit this cave for the next fifteen days.

Even in the restrictions of her family and the local authorities, Bernadette would continue in following the command of the lady by going back to the Grotto. Bernadette would pray the Rosary and listen to the requests of the veiled woman enveloped underneath a golden light. Among the many appearances of the lady to Bernadette, the fourteen-year-old would ask her name many times, to which the lady always replied with a mere smile. The story of this mysterious lady would spread around the town, clouding them with doubt, and the local clergy and authorities with apprehension.

At one time, the lady told the young girl to request the creation of a chapel near the Grotto to the local priests. In obedience, Bernadette followed and told Fr. Dominique Peyramle, the towns parish priest, the orders of the lady. The priest did not believe her at first and told the girl to ask the lady her name. "Once we know it, we will build a sanctuary." He said.

This prompted Bernadette to ask the lady a few more times, only to be responded with more smiles, divinity seemingly behind her lips. Bernadette returned back and forth to the parish priest, echoing the ladys order, but she was one again only told to return if she had a name.

On the 25th of March of the same year, the ladys identity was finally revealed. The lady proclaimed, “I am the Immaculate Conception,” voice dripping with assuredness. Who knew such few words that could hold the strength of kingdoms were behind that smile? Her title was made known to the parish by Bernadette, and the clergymen were astounded.

"The Immaculate Conception," they echoed. This was an important theological term about Mary. The parish priest asked if Bernadette understood what she was saying. "No," Bernadette replied. An unschooled and simple young girl like Bernadette could not have created this complex theological term by herself.

The dogma of the Immaculate Conception was defined four years earlier by Pope Pius IX in his Apostolic Constitution 'Ineffabilis Deus', which stated that Mary was preserved from the stain of original sin as the Angel Gabriel proclaimed to her, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women."

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

📖 𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | Pilipinas Muna

Ama ng Himagsikang Pilipino
Buong-tapang na ipinaglaban ang kasarinlan
Inialay ang lahat para sa bayan
Tunay na dakila! Tunay na kabayanihan!

Ngunit ano ang nangyari?
Pinaslang ang bayani
Kasama ang kapatid sa bundok sa Cavite
Banta daw sa pamahalaan
Taksil daw sa bayan

Ang nakakabahala?
Pilipino ang siyang gumawa
Kababayan tinuring na kalaban
Si Bonifacio’y pinagtaksilan
Ang baya’y pinagtaksilan

Tunay na mga kalaban
Hindi tinugunan, inuna ang “banta” sa pamahalaan
Kulay bago kasarinlan
Posisyon bago bayan
Mga mata natin nabulagan

Tayo ay Pilipino
Sa mukha at sa dugo
Sa isip at sa puso
Iisa, pinagbuklod
Hindi dapat nahahati sa mga partido
Dilaw, rosas, lila, berde, p**a?
Wala! Wala! Pilipinas muna!
