Agosto 28, 2025 - Taun-taon ipinagdiriwang sa buong bansa ang Buwan ng Wika sa PCU Union High School, ang pagdiriwang na ito ay naging isang makabuluhang pagkakataon upang maipakita ng mga Unionites ang kanilang husay, galing, at pagmamahal sa wikang Filipino at kulturang Pilipino.

Sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang pagtatanghal at gawain, pinatunayan ng mga mag-aaral at g**o na ang Filipino ay hindi lamang wika ng pakikipag-usap, kundi wika ng pagkakaisa, pagkakakilanlan, at patuloy na pag-unlad ng pamayanan. Ang Pangwakas na Pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ay nagsisilbing pagbubuklod sa buong paaralan upang higit pang malalim ang pagpapahalaga sa ating sariling wika at kultura.

Sa temang “Paglinang sa Filipino, at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa”, ipinagdiwang ng buong paaralan ang Buwan ng Wika sa pamamagitan ng isang makulay at makabuluhang pangwakas na pagdiriwang.

Opisyal na sinimulan ang programa sa pamamagitan ng Entrance of Colors ng mga Boy Scouts, na sinundan ng taimtim na Panimulang Panalangin na pinangunahan ni Bb. Viktoria Jireh T. Tongol. Pinatingkad naman ang diwa ng pagkakaisa sa sabayang pag-awit ng Lupang Hinirang sa pangunguna ni Bb. Elizabeth Leigh M. Tandoc. Matapos nito, nagbigay ng makabuluhang Pambungad na Pananalita si Gng. Marites Bigtacion, at sinundan ng pagbasa ng mensaheng pagbati ni Gng. Eleen Asino para kay Rodina B. Autencio.

Isa sa mga tampok na bahagi ng programa ang makulay na pagtatanghal ng Teatrong Filipino, isang adaptasyon mula sa Noli Me Tangere. Sinundan ito ng pagpapakilala sa mga iginagalang na hurado ng patimpalak na sina Bb. Gloria Nabus, G. George Bernard, at Bb. Samantha B. Montañez, sa pangunguna ni Bb. Kimberly Sayson.

Matapos ipakilala ang mga hurado, agad na sinundan ito ng pinakahihintay na bahagi ng programa, ang patimpalak sa Sabayang Pagbigkas, na tunay na nagpasigla at nagbigay-inspirasyon sa mga nanonood.

Unang nagpakitang-gilas ang pangkat 8–Camia, na sinundan ng 8–Rose at 9–Daffodil. Pagkaraan nito, muling pinasigla ng 7–Sampaguita ang programa sa pamamagitan ng kanilang makabuluhang Awiting Bayan. Nagpatuloy ang pagtatanghal sa husay ng 9–Hyacinth, 10–Callalily, at 10–Easter Lily. Sa huli, muling ipinamalas ng 7–Carnation ang kanilang sariling bersyon ng Awiting Bayan na nagdagdag ng kulay at sigla sa buong pagdiriwang.

Pagkatapos ng makabuluhang pagtatanghal ng mga iba’t ibang pangkat, nagbigay aliw ang Dance Club sa kanilang masiglang sayaw sa pamumuno ni Sir Aristosa, ang kanilang tagapayo. Hindi rin nagpahuli ang Glee Club, na naghandog ng mga awitin na Paro-Parong Bukid at Walang Natira.

Natapos ang unang bahagi ng programa sa opisyal na pagtatanghal at paggawad, at sinundan ito ng Pistang Salo-salo bilang ikalawang bahagi ng selebrasyon. Ginanap ito sa kani-kanilang mga silid-aralan ng bawat pangkat, kung saan nagkaroon ng masayang pagsasalu-salo ang mga mag-aaral. Sa kabuuan, ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ay hindi lamang nagbigay ng kasiyahan kundi nagpaalala rin ng kahalagahan ng ating wika at kultura bilang mga Pilipino.

“Ang wika ay siyang nagpapahayag ng mga kaisipan at mithiin ng isang bayan.” - Manuel L. Quezon

Noong 1935, isang lider ang humubog sa ating pagkakaisa at kalayaan sa pamamagitan ng wika—si Manuel L. Quezon. Ngayon, halos isang siglo na ang lumipas, patuloy pa rin nating ipinagdiriwang ang bunga ng kanyang paninindigan: ang ating Wikang Pambansa.

Tuwing buwan ng Agosto, ating binibigyang parangal at pagkilala ang wika, kultura, at kasuotang Pilipino na sagisag ng ating pagka-Pilipino. Sa bawat pagdiriwang, laging binibigyang-pugay ang Ama ng Wikang Pambansa, na si Manuel L. Quezon. Kung kaya’t kasabay ng kanyang kaarawan noong ika-19 ng Agosto 2025 ay ginunita at ipinagdiwang din sa PCU- Union High School of Manila ang pagsusuot ng “Kasuotang Pinoy” bilang parte ng mga aktibidad para sa Buwan ng Wika. Ipinamalas ng mga estudyanteng mula baitang 7 hanggang baitang 10 ang kariktan, pagka-makabayan, at ang masining na mga kasuotang barong, baro’t saya at filipiniana na sumisimbolo sa yaman ng ating kultura. Tila ang mga tela na ang siyang nag kuwento ng ating kasaysayan at ang ating dangal sa bayan.

Nagkaroon din ng pagdaraos kaninang umaga sa simbahan ng Ellinwood Malate Church ang Buwan ng Wika. Sinundan naman ito ng kaganapan na “Everybody’s Birthday” kung saan bawat baitang at bawat seksyon ng klase ay may 2 mapalad na estudyanteng maaring mabunot na manalo ng tig-isang kahon ng donat.

Sa huli, ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ay hindi lamang pagbabalik-tanaw sa nagawa ni Manuel L. Quezon kundi isa ring pagkakataon upang ipakita ang yaman ng ating kultura sa pamamagitan ng wikang Filipino at ating tradisyonal na kasuotan. Ang bawat Agosto ay paalala na ang ating wika at kultura ay dapat ipagmalaki, ipagpatuloy at ipamana sa mga susunod na henerasyon; sapagkat sa pagsanib ng wika, alaala at pananamit, naipapakita natin ang ating pagkakaisa at pagmamahal sa bayan—isang pamana na kailangang buhayin ng bawat Pilipino.

Today belongs entirely to him—to the gentle scribe whose words paint beauty across blank pages. He is celebrated for the grace with which he writes, the depth of his spirit, and the warmth he imparts through every heartfelt line. May God continue to surround him with love and nurture him as he grows—with each year bringing deeper wisdom, boundless creativity, and blessings that lift his spirit ever higher.💙

Adding Inspiration, Multiplying Success — Happy Birthday, Sir Gerald Dioquino! 🎉

He has shown us that “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯, ’𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴… 𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.” – Ariana Grande, “Be Alright”

His lessons go beyond numbers and equations — they are about perseverance, creativity, and the joy of learning. His energy lights up every class, his methods spark curiosity, and his dedication inspires Unionites to aim higher. To his students, he is both a mentor and a second parent — someone whose care, patience, and effort can never be fully measured in words.

Psalm 20:4
"𝘔𝘢𝘺 𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘦𝘥."

𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗦 𝗖𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦 𝗡𝗨𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗛 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱—“𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆! 𝗦𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗸𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻!”

𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱—The PCU Union High School of Manila welcomed August with vibrant energy through its celebration of Nutrition Month 2025, anchored on the national theme: “Food at Nutrition Security, Maging Priority! Sapat na Pagkain Karapatan Natin! " The entire day served as a showcase of student creativity, talent, and advocacy in support of health, sustainability, and food security.

The day opened with the launch of the Nutri‑Meme Battle, where selected students created original, school‑appropriate memes that promoted healthy eating and food awareness. By blending humor with advocacy, the activity demonstrated that health promotion can be both meaningful and engaging—even through laughter.

This was followed by the Headdress Competition, which began with a vibrant mini parade in the school’s gymnasium. Students proudly wore their nutrition‑themed headdresses, pausing to pose and present their creations. Made entirely from recycled materials, each design reflected creativity, advocacy, and environmental awareness.
Then, the highlight of the culminating event, a musical showdown, “Nutri‑Jingle Competition”, transformed nutrition advocacy into catchy lyrics and upbeat performances. Each class presented original jingles focusing on healthy, budget‑friendly meals.

To conclude the celebration, students shared a short but meaningful "salo‑salo" in their classrooms, preparing and enjoying fruit salads together in a moment of unity and wellness.
Nutrition Month 2025 at Union High was more than a day of activities—it was a creative movement led by students, reminding everyone that the right to safe, sufficient, and nutritious food must remain a priority. Thank you to all the administration, faculty and staff who made this event possible.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲: 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱

𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟵,𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 — PCU-Union High School of Manila held their first Chapel Service at the historic Ellinwood Malate Church, led by the school’s dedicated faculty and staff.

The Chapel Service, being a signature weekly activity of PCU-UHSM for decades, was made special today as the faculty and staff members themselves took the lead in guiding the students toward deeper spiritual reflection, facilitated by Mrs. Leah S. Camacho, the school’s CFEW Coordinator.

School Principal Mrs. Marifel D. Li Fong warmly welcomed the students, sharing words of encouragement and introducing the significance of the weekly chapel gatherings. Shortly after, the faculty and staff came together to present a moving rendition of "Dakilang Pagmamahal," reminding everyone of God’s unwavering love—a fitting theme for the day, “Love Overload.”

The highlight of the service was the inspirational message delivered by Rev. Ricardo D. Bernardino, university chaplain. His sermon encouraged students to pursue academic excellence with the pillars of Faith, Character and Service.

The service concluded with an offertory segment, accompanied by a worship song led by Ms. Kimberly Sayson, one of the school’s faculty members. It was a fitting end to a service filled with warmth, inspiration, and renewed commitment to both faith and learning.

Indeed, the first chapel service of the year left students not only refreshed but also reminded of the greater purpose behind their academic journey: to grow in faith, in character, and in God’s overflowing love.
