Grade 11 students participated in the LANDAS activity where they were given the opportunity to share their aspirations, interests, and future career goals as they begin their senior high school journey, held at the school's gymnasium, June 4.

This event aimed to encourage students to express the career paths and academic tracks they wish to pursue in the future.

"As an upcoming Senior High School student, malaki po ang impact nitong event na 'to para sa kukunin kong track sa senior high para mas malaman ko rin po ang kukunin kong course", exclaimed by Mary Angelle C. Sandro, Grade 11 student.

Moreover, the activity served as a welcoming program for Grade 11 students, promoting self-reflection and helping them gain a clearer vision of their goals and aspirations.

Laiyan Campus journalists, together with students from HIVE and aspiring writers who aim to become part of The Vanguard, participated in a seminar focused on writing research about local history.

The seminar was facilitated by Dr. Lionel E. Buenaflor, who served as the guest speaker. During the session.

Dr. Buenaflor discussed the importance of local history research in preserving cultural heritage and strengthening community identity.

He also shared essential techniques and methodologies in conducting historical research, including gathering reliable sources, and verifying information.

"Natutunan ko na mahalaga ang local history in our national history. I learned how to value limited information and make the most of them while they last," expressed by Kisha Len R. Villanueva, a Social Sciences student of Grade 11.

Through seminars such as this, students are encouraged to become active contributors in preserving local heritage through accurate historical research.

EDITORIAL:

BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS

Today's accident involving a tricycle and an SUV, which claimed the lives of 6 individuals, should not be discussed only in terms of which party was at fault. This pushes discussions back to ensuring public safety while promoting the economic welfare of all--tasks which ultimately fall on the shoulders of the Municipal Government of San Juan.

DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2023-195 specifically bans tricycles from national highways where four-wheel vehicles exceed 4 tons or normal speeds exceed 40 KPH. That tricycles ply the 22-km stretch of San Juan-Laiya road is a violation of said circular.

The prohibition is nothing less than fair. Both the World Health Organization and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) officially classify tricycles as Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) given their flimsy build. Given their lightness, they are prone to tipping over. Given their slower speeds, they become hazards and endanger faster-moving vehiclesโ€“and their own passengers.

Thus, the Municipal Government of San Juan should fully implement DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2023-195 accompanied by transition policies that serve both the safety and welfare of passengers and the economic survival of operators. For one, the bans on highways can be done gradually, with proper and rigorous consultation with tricycle operators. In the interim, the Government can help would-be affected tricycle drivers by assisting with loans, subsidies, or livelihood programs. The Government can also aid operators in availing or joining government modernization programs, help them upgrade to vehicles permitted on highways, if finances allow, or help them join already-existing transport cooperatives. Otherwise, it can provide training on other technical skills to affected drivers.

Equally important is the task of restoring the services of four-wheel vehicles (via existing JODAs or other providers, e.g., hybrid shuttles) as the primary mode of public transportation from Laiya to San Juan, or from Lobo to San Juan. This will entail the formulation of policies that serve the best interest of riders, e.g., timely departure from terminals, safe travels, etc.

We understand that many San Juaneรฑos rely on the operation of tricycles on highways for their livelihoods. But gambling with the lives and safety of other people will never be a good business model. Until the municipal government puts a foot down on this, the blood of the victims, past and present, will forever be on their hands.

Parents, students, and teachers of Laiya Integrated National High School welcomed June through arriving early and participating on the kick-off of this year's Brigada Eskwela themed "Bayanihan sa Paaralan: Nagkakaisa Para Sa Kaayusan At Kaalaman" held at the school's gymnasium.

Signing and sealing the pledge named "The Laiya Integrated National High School's Commitment to All" was one of the highlights of the kick-off, as well as partial cleaning of different school areas and classrooms afterwards.

"Ang expectations ko ngayong Brigada ay ang parents, students, at teachers ay nagtutulungan para mas maging maayos, malinis, at handa ang ating paaralan. After ng Brigada, sana ay ma-maintain ang kaauysan ng ating paaralan throughout the school year," shared Krisha Len R. Villanueva, an incoming Grade 11 student of LINHS.

Brigada will end on June 5 along with the enrollment process which will officially start tomorrow.
