  BY: Angel Marie Calacala PHOTO BY: Kristine May Ramirez Wake up at the morning, sleep at the evening.  Look for the task, that everyone ask.  When you stare at the wall, the only thing you saw is your fall.  You always remind other, and forget you're another.  Wake up to reality of life, you've done some terrible lie.  That people include you,  but the only person is you.  Alone isn't about dark,  it's form of an ark.  That strong can handle your own, Because the ship is just one.  To the sea full of fish of life,  you're the boat that treat yourself right.  Cherish you! Love YOU!

  BY: Claire F. Tolentino PHOTO BY: Kristine May Ramirez The Philippines has indeed nurtured a colorful history ever since its existence. We experienced events that made our hearts and souls grow stronger. Many heroes rose, taking up arms to fend off foreign attacks. Nevertheless, it is common knowledge that brutal force is insufficient to win a battle. Just like the human body works, we need a brain to make our limbs move, as do our fellow countrymen. One hero arises to provide the plan in order to win each encounter. He is a true tactician and a genius who shows his full potential despite his illness. Apolinario Mabini was born on July 23, 1864, in Talaga, Batangas, Philippines. Mabini suffered from an illness called poliomyelitis, commonly known as polio. He got polio at a young age, which led to the paralysis of his lower part of the body. Despite his physical disability, Mabini still shone and showed his leadership potential. Which made him gain the title "The Sublime Paralyt...

  By Claire Fabul Tolentino Photo by Laidel Hizola What does it feel like to finally achieve the freedom you deserve? The freedom that was inherently yours but was forcefully taken away. They confined, exploited, and stripped you of everything, leaving you shattered. But despite their attempts to break your spirit, you rose above the ashes, reclaiming your independence and embracing the liberty that rightfully belongs to you. This journey was marked by hardships, reminiscent of the events experienced by the Philippines when a foreign country invaded our land a few decades ago.  It all started when the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and his fleet set foot on Cebu, trying to establish trade relations and spread Christianity. He tried to assert dominance, showing his authority, and war broke down; this was later known as the battle of Mactan, where he fought the local chieftain, Lapu-Lapu. Even tho he had lost the battle, Spain still wanted to obtain the nation's power in...

A lady make it fence lame, So that we can climb and reach. The luminosity like our house light. This day or lifetime, Have you ever see the lady. With wand and thank her for- Extend you and hand you life. Your very own fairy godmother, No magic, but has love. A Mother with no power, Can make everything facilitate.

  By LAIDEL B. HIZOLA PHOTO BY: LAIDEL B. HIZOLA Freedom of the press is a vital part of society since it serves as the backbone of the democracy of a country or community. The press must be free to report upon issues of public concern without worrying about being detained or subject to other forms of repression since they serve as the public's eyes and ears. And today, May 3, 2023, we celebrate World Press Freedom Day.   Today marks 30 years since the United Nations General Assembly's decision to declare a worldwide day for press freedom. It is celebrated to honour the key principles of press freedom and to stand up for the media against attacks on their independence. This year's theme will be "Shaping a Future of Rights:  Freedom of Expression as a Driver for all other human rights",   highlighting how freedom of expression is necessary for all other human rights to exist and be protected.   Society is reminded on this day of the importance of keeping their co...
