Today, we celebrate Christmas to honor the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; himself hope and love and redemption.

This season isn't just about giving gifts; it's about appreciating what we receive and the joy we can give to others. It's also about the time we spend with our loved ones, the gratitude for the blessings we have, and small acts of kindness that make the season more meaningful.

Christmas is an opportunity to reconnect with loved ones. In a world where distance and busy schedules keep people apart, this is where families and friends gather under one roof. Whether it's decorating, exchanging gifts, or just sitting and sharing stories, these moments remind us that no matter how expensive the gift is, it can never match the people who matter the most.

Pinarangalan ng Sangguniang Kabataan ng Laiya-Aplaya (SKLA) ang mahigit tatlumpung kabataan at enterprises sa isinakatuparang Gawad Parangal โ€“ Angat Kabataan Awards 2025 upang bigyang-pagkilala ang kanilang dedikasyon at galing sa ibaโ€™t ibang larangan, ika-20 ng Disyembre.

Kabilang sa mga iginawad ang Academic Excellence, Sports Achievements, Student Entrepreneur, Community Extensions, at Outstanding Student Leader, gayundin ang Culture and Arts at Youth-powered Enterprise Awards.

Ayon kay Bb. Kyla G. De Mesa, SKLA Chairwoman, layunin ng proyektong kilalanin ang mga kabataang patuloy na nagsisikap at nagbibigay-inspirasyon sa komunidad.

โ€œIsa itong simpleng paraan para ipakita na napapansin at pinahahalagahan ang kanilang sipag at talento. Sa lahat ng kabataan, magpatuloy lang kayo at maniwala sa sarili, lahat tayo [ay] may kakayahang umangat, magsimula sa maliliit na hakbang, at gumawa ng pagbabago sa sarili at sa komunidad,โ€ pagbabahagi niya.

Kaugnay nito, nagpahayag ng pagkagalak ang ilan sa mga ginawaran at nagbigay ng mensahe sa kapwa nila kabataan.

โ€œUnang-una, nagpapasalamat ako syempre sa Panginoon kasi ang awards na ito ay hindi naman para lang sa akinโ€”ito ay pagbibigay balik-tanaw sa Kanyang pagbibigay [ng] talento at kahusayan. Pangalawa sa ating SKLA na talaga namang kinikilala ang kahusayan ng lahat ng mga kabataan. Maaaring iilan pa lamang ngayong taon ang nabigyan ng parangal pero alam kong napakaraming mahuhusay na mga bata na maaaring maging pinuno sa ating hinaharap,โ€ pahayag ni Geremie C. Dimaano, isang multiple awardee.

Naniniwala rin siya na tunay na pag-asa ng bayan ang mga kabataan at maaaring nasa kanila ang pagbabagong hinahanap para sa komunidad kayaโ€™t hinihikayat niya ang lahat na makilahok sa ganitong aktibidad.

Samantala, ikinatuwa naman ni G. Dan Kervin D. Del Mundo, dating SKLA Chairperson, ang pagpapatuloy ng kasalukuyang administrasyon sa mga programang kanilang nasimulan upang higit na pahalagahan ang mga kakayahan, talento, kontribusyon, at karangalan ng mga kabataan.

โ€œAs one of the awardees, I am honored for being one of the recognized individuals. With this recognition, I want to continue inspiring other people through my achievements [and] through my work. Sana magtuloy-tuloy โ€˜yong ganitong programs ng SKLA and hopefully, next year [ay] mas maraming awardees na โ€˜yong makita nating uma-attend sa ganitong events,โ€ dagdag pa niya.

Bukod sa mga sertipiko at medalya, namahagi rin ng mga regalo at donated raffle prizes ang sanggunian sa mga kalahok.

Throngs flocked to the New San Juan Municipal Building Hall to celebrate the annual lighting of the Christmas display with the theme โ€œGathering as ONE Under a Shared RADIANCEโ€, December 1.

โ€œSi Kristo ang tunay na ilaw, ang daan, at ang katotohanan,โ€ Rev. Fr. Lee Leonida, OSJ, Parish Priest, reminded the people.

Various political personalities from the municipal and provincial governments were present for the lighting ceremony.

Municipal Mayor Ildebrando โ€œBeebongโ€ D. Salud expressed gratitude to the individuals behind this much-awaited project every December.

โ€œAng diwa ng kapaskuhan ay pagmamahalan, pagbibigayan, at pagkakaisa para sa pag-asa,โ€ he added.
