𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗞𝗔𝗡 | MINUMULTO

Pumikit ako't lumuha.

Sa may bakanteng silid, may silya roon. Sa tuwing uwian, may hikbi akong naririnig.

Hindi ko batid, ngunit takot ako sa mga kababalaghang nagaganap sa tuwing kakagat ang dilim sa malawak naming paaralan. Maingay sa pag-uunahan ang mga mag-aaral, masigla ang kapaligiran, ang kanilang maingay na mga yapak ay nagpapahiwatig ng saya, na sa wakas ay isa na namang mapanghamong araw ang magwawakas.

Sa isang iglap, shhh...
Tila hanging bumubulong ang tanging tinig na maririnig sa isang lugar na tila agad binawian ng buhay. Hindi na bago ang ganitong kaganapan, ngunit iilan lamang ang may lakas ng loob na manatili. At ako, isa lamang batang natatakot sa sariling multo.

Sa halip na makipag-unahan sa paglisan, pilit kong iniiwasan ang silya sa kabilang silid. Subalit tila ako'y pinipilit nitong harapin. Ang pintig ng aking puso, naging mas mabilis pa kaysa sa bawat yapak ng mga mag-aaral.

Parang linilisan ng aking kaluluwa ang patpatin kong katawan sa biglang pagbalagbag ng mga pinto ng kantina at opisina.

Sa ika-apat na palapag, ang mga bumbilya ay isa-isang kumukutitap. Ang kanilang liwanag ay tila malamlam na yakap. Ngunit kasabay nito'y ang ngitngit ng aking ngipin, binubuo ng takot at panghihinayang, na sumisibol sa katahimikan.

Huminto ako sa harap ng silid. Doon, ang silya. Tahimik. Walang laman. Ngunit ramdam kong puno ito ng mga tanong na matagal ko nang iniiwasan.

Dahan-dahan akong pumasok. Ang bawat yapak ay mabigat, ngunit mas mabigat ang alaala ng mga pagkakataong hindi ko hinarap—ang mga luhang hindi ko pinahid, ang mga salitang hindi ko nasabi, ang mga hakbang na hindi ko tinahak.

Umupo ako. At sa aking pag-upo, nawala ang hikbi. Nawala ang bulong. Nawala ang multo.

Doon ko napagtanto: ang silya ay ako, at ang silid ay ang aking mga pagsisisi. Ang mga multong bumabagabag ay hindi espiritu, kundi mga pagkakataong pinabayaang lumisan.

Ngunit sa pagharap, natutunan kong wala nang multong mananahan sa puso kong handa nang tanggapin ang lahat—sapagkat ang tunay na kababalaghan ay ang mabuhay nang walang panghihinayang.

Scholars of the SamarLeyte Texas (SLT) Scholarship held their regular meeting today, October 28, 2025, at the Office of the Director for Sports and Socio-Cultural.

The meeting, facilitated by Dr. Esmerlyn P. Bayangan, KSU and BSTF-SLT coordinator of the scholarship program, aimed to deliver important announcements and check on the scholars' academic performance and well-being. The grantees were formerly under the Bagong Silang Texas Foundation (BSTF) before being transferred under the SamarLeyte Texas Scholarship.

The scholarship program, which began in the academic year 2023–2024, has continued to expand, supporting more indigent but deserving students in the succeeding years.

"You still need to work harder in your studies," Dr. Bayangan reminded the scholars, encouraging them to persevere and remain grateful for the opportunity entrusted to them.

Now in their third year, the scholars expressed their appreciation for the foundation's continuous support and guidance in helping them pursue their education and future goals.
