Advisory: Resumption of Clearance Signing at SSC Office

We are lifting the temporary suspension of the clearance signing at the SSC Office. Clearance signing will resume tomorrow, June 4, 2024. Due to the current weather conditions, we advise all students to bring water and umbrellas for your comfort and safety

Advisory

Please be advised that tomorrow, June 3, the clearance signing at the SSC Office will be temporarily suspended. All students are discouraged from going to the SSC Office on this date.

This suspension is necessary to ensure a smooth flow of the graduation ceremony for our 4th year students.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

The LGBTQ+ community in the Philippines is once again highlighted during Pride Month, which highlights their lively force and firm courage. It is more than just a reason to celebrate; it is a revolution—a resolute effort to promote an inclusive and equal society.

Raising our flags high, we defend our identities and rights with every heartbeat and passionate cry for change. We are all encouraged to stand firm and take action for true equality by this movement, which is not limited to celebrations but permeates all aspect of our everyday life. Every action, no matter how big or small, shows how resilient and determined we are as a community—from the colorful and loud parades to the silent defiance.

Let's continue working towards creating a more inclusive society for all, a place we can proudly call "Bagong Pilipinas".

Advisory: Temporary Suspension of Clearance Signing at the SSC Office

To ensure the smooth facilitation of the upcoming graduation ceremony for NSTP CWTS, we would like to inform all students from 1st year to 3rd year that the signing of clearances at the SSC Office will be temporarily suspended on May 29, 2024. This measure is necessary to ensure that it proceeds without any issues.

Please note that this suspension is temporary, and a separate announcement will be made to inform everyone when the clearance signing will resume. We understand that this may cause some inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this period.

However, graduating students will still be able to have their clearances signed on May 29, 2024, despite the temporary suspension for others. This exception is being made to ensure that the graduation process for our 4th year students is not delayed.

Please stay tuned for further updates regarding the resumption of clearance signing.

ADVISORY:

In light of the ongoing extreme heatwave affecting the country, a temporary suspension of the school uniform policy has been enacted. This decision has been made with the safety and well-being of our students as our top priority.

Given the exceptionally high temperatures, it is essential to ensure that students are comfortable and adequately protected from the heat while attending classes and engaging in school activities. Therefore, effective immediately, all students are advised to wear DECENT CASUAL ATTIRE that is appropriate for a school setting.

Please note that this temporary suspension of the school uniform policy will remain in effect until weather conditions improve and a formal announcement is made regarding its reinstatement. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as necessary.

"The interconnectedness of women to our struggles as human beings. Environment man yan, kagutuman man yan, violence man yan, can never be divorced or underemphasized. Hindi mawawalay sa bawat elemento ng buhay na may gender component— may babae na involved in any little decision, in any major decision. Kahit wala na tayo sa world war decision making that destroyed the major fabric of our society. Can you imagine the casualty? Sa isahan hinulog ang nuclear bomb. Ano ang nuclear bomb natin ngayon? Ang kinatatakutan ko na threat sa women advancing women's rights is the simplification ng mga pag iisip natin. Because of "scroll", pati ang nanay ko, pati ang asawa ko, pati ang anak ko. Lahat biktima ng scroll generation hindi lang po millennials. Ganun lang. Dinaanan ng mga nangyayaring violence, dinaanan by a scroll of a finger. One second, daan lang nang daan"

READ: Message of UP Tacloban College Student Council for the International Women's Month Celebration

"Mula pa lamang noon, kabilang na ng masa ang kababaihan sa pagtangan sa bigat ng kabiguan at kawalang-katarungan sa lipunan. Ang ina, tanglaw ng tahanan, na sinakripisyo ang pansariling mga pangarap upang maiahon at mabigyang-kasapatan ang pamilya. Ang ate, dating kaasaran sa ilalim ng iisang bubungan, ngunit madalas ay kaakbay, gabay, at kabiting sa murang gulang. Si tita na naging manggagawang pandayuhan, para lamang mabigyan ng magandang kinabukasan sila pinsan. At si lola na tinangan ka noong bata habang pinagtatahian ng mga bestida at uniporme.

Ngunit higit pa rito ang tinaguriang tungkulin ng kababaihan, sapagkat sila rin ang mga tinanglaw na tumutugon sa matinding panawagan upang bastahin ang isang lipunang binuo ng sigalot at kabulukan. Bahagi ang kanilang mga ngalan sa aklat ng kasaysayan - mga mandirigma, mga rebolusyonaryo, at mga bayaning nagsulong ng pambansang kasarinlan. Si Gabriela Silang na nanguna sa paglaban sa pamimitig ng kolonyalismong Kastila. Si Gregoria De Jesus na buong-tapat na nakiisa sa Himagsikang Pilipino ng Katipunan. Si Melchora Aquino, na tinaguriang Ina ng Himagsikan, gumamot sa mga rebolusyonaryo at naging gabay sa paglaban sa kasarinlan.

Sila ang kabilang sa napakaraming kababaihan na ang mga sakripisyo ay naging sanhi upang maitatag ang pundasyon ng lipunang ating kinakatayuan sa kasalukuyan. Anuman ang kanilang dala - armas man ng pandigma, kasangkapan man ng panggagamot, lumahok man sa aktwal na pakikibaka, o kaya'y nananatili upang turuan ang susunod na henerasyon - ang mga kababaihang ito ang siyang nagtatahid ng pambansang kasaysayan. Sa kanila nagmumula ang mga tinig na sumisigaw para sa hustisya at kalayaan, mga palad na bumuo ng pundasyon ng lipunan.

Ngunit sa kabila ng mga tagumpay na ito, patuloy pa rin ang pang-aaping pandidiin sa kababaihan sa makabagong panahon. Ang patriyarkal na hierarkiya na kumukubling sa lipunan ang humahadlang sa ganap na pagkakamit ng pagkakapantay-pantay at hustisyang panlipunan. Ang masokistang paniniwala na nanunuot sa ating lipunan na ang kababaihan ay mababa ang katayuang dapat walang tanong na sumunod sa otoridad ng kalalakihan ang nagkukulong sa kanilang kalayaan at karapatan. Ang pananaw na ito ay isang reaksyunaryong multo na humahadlang sa kakayahan ng kababaihan na makapasok sa mga institusyon ng impluwensya at kapangyarihan.

Mula noon hanggang ngayon, sa gitna ng panggigipit, patuloy ang pakikibaka ng kabataan kasama ang kababaihan para makamtan ang tunay na pagkakapantay sa isang lipunang inaalipusta ng patriyarka. Sapagkat ang kalakasan ng kababaihan ay humahabaw higit pa sa tradisyunal na anyo na binuo ng sistema. Ang lakas ng kababaihan ay patungo sa paghulma ng isang makatarungan, mapagpalaya at malayang lipunan. Ang kanilang boses ay hindi magagapi ng kahit anong anyo ng panggigipit - isang tinig na aalingawngaw para sa pagtawag ng kalayaan mula sa lahat ng uri ng pang-aapi.

Ang kwento ng Filipina ay patuloy na sumusuway sa mga kathang salungat sa sistema ng binuo ng patriyarka. Ina at mga rebolusyonaryong mandirigma, mga g**o at pulitiko, mga manggagawa at doktor - ang napakaraming imahen na ito ay hindi na maaaring mahubaran ng kapangyarihan at muling maibalik sa kawalan.

Dahil higit pa ang babae sa itinatanging imahe na binuo sa kanila ng bulok na sistema. Ang kababaihan ay sisidlan ng anumang hulmahang kanilang naisin, ngunit hindi kailanman mawawala ang layuning tagapamalakaya na nagtutulak sa pambansang interes ng masang-api.

ABANTE BABAE, PALABAN MILITANTE!"

READ: Message of the Supreme Student Council of ESSU Guiuan for the International Women's Month Celebration.

"From the 'babae' of the katagalugan, to the 'babayi'of the kabisayaan, and to the 'ay-ayem' of the Subanen, there is a common, essential fact that defines every aspect of our widely diverse culture: women are the master weavers of our society, symbolizing power. Women have endured far too long from inequality and undervaluation, bound by the injustices and biases against women. Nevertheless, women have persevered despite all challenges, their voices thundering with resistance and their actions leading a path for development.

Filipino women are rewriting the story and marching in the chambers of power and influence. They are tearing down glass ceilings as well as shattering them, opening the door for a society that is more egalitarian and inclusive. We are all inspired by leaders like Risa Hontiveros because she fearlessly stand up for important causes, such as establishing safe spaces, protecting the rights of students, and promoting women's empowerment. Her determination, bravery, and unshaken passion serve as a reminder that when driven by the passion of remarkable women, progress has no bounds.

Let us recommit to defending Filipino women's rights and dignity as we honor their incredible progress while making sure they receive the respect and acknowledgment they so well deserve. While they continue to influence the course of our country, let us recognize their contributions, respect their sacrifices, and show our support for them. Because of the collective strength of Filipino women, everyone can hope for a more promising and just future."

READ: Message of Burauen Community College - Central Student Council for the International Women's Month Celebration.

"Women are leaders, homemakers, educators, innovators, and a constant source of inspiration. They have been at the forefront of countless transformations, shaping important social structures, and driving profound changes in our society.They have fearlessly challenged norms, shattered barriers, and paved the way for future generations. They have shown us that strength and resilience know no gender boundaries.

However, despite these remarkable achievements, there is still much work to be done. The gender gap persists, and it is our collective responsibility to address it. Women's voices must be amplified, their accomplishments celebrated, and their rights protected.

To all the incredible women out there, your strength inspires us, your courage motivates us, and your love nurtures us.

Happy Women's Month."

READ: Message of the University Supreme Student Council- Baybay for the International Women's Month Celebration.

"Women are the driving force of excellence, commitment, and leadership.

We are not limited to discussing the interests of women when we discuss gender equality and the advancement of women's rights. Women and our community as a whole have benefited from the kinds of reforms that women have worked for and achieved. When we discuss women's progress, we are discussing the advancement of our nation.

This month, women’s history highlights their accomplishments wherein we collectively celebrate the milestone of women on how far they have come in breaking the disproportionate and underrepresented lens of leadership. Despite apparent difficulties for women in their positions that require both short and long-term solutions, recent surges of women into leadership roles have instilled optimism and inspiration.

Still, women in positions of decision-making are the exception rather than the rule. Women's voices continue to be excluded from the main decision-making processes because there is still a critical mass of women lacking in our boardrooms. In addition, an unprecedented number of women are resigning from leadership roles not because they are unable to handle the strain rather, it is because they do not align with the cultures and notions of power and leadership that are dominated by men. Consequently, this does not suggest that men and women do not "tend and befriend" or that women do not have "fight or flight" reactions; rather, it suggests that leaders of both sexes should strive to foster a sense of community and establish bridges as effective leadership strategies.

Building on the achievements of our forebears, let us endeavor to establish a society in which women and men coexist as equals in all spheres of the political, economic, and social spheres; women are free to work and raise a family; women do not experience poverty because they choose to take care of others; and in which everyone is allowed to live their life without fear of violence, harassment, or discrimination.

With this, the University Supreme Student Council – Baybay, has seen the strengths many women bring to the arena of leaders to address critical concerns in various settings. These strengths of intelligence, experience, and insights of all of humanity have broken the barriers and created a new lens of authority for them. We collectively support women such as world leaders, government officials, business owners, student council officials, and all empowered women across the globe in their power and the need to redefine leadership.

Abante Babae!"

The Supreme Student Council (SSC) of Eastern Samar State University-Guiuan Campus made a big impression at the 15th Interactive Youth Forum, which was hosted at Venus Parkview Hotel in Baguio City from March 20 to 22, 2024, in a fantastic demonstration of leadership and commitment. The Philippine Association of Practitioners of Student Affairs and Services (PAPSAS) was in charge of organizing the event, which has as its topic "Systems and Anticipatory Thinking for Sustainable Student Activities and Stewardship."

The campus delegates, led by SSC President Gene Acosta together with the Dean of Student Services and Alumni Affairs, Dr. Jeffrey Guimbaolibot, SSC Vice President John Claro Lugay, SSC Treasurer James Darr Bagoyoro actively engaged in the forum's debates and discussions.

The delegates from Eastern Samar State University-Guiuan Campus pointed out the institution's core values—Excellence, Accountability, and Service—during the declaration and commitment rites. This declaration of principles not only demonstrated the university's dedication to providing a holistic education, but it also acted as a source of motivation for other delegates.

The forum provided students a venue to discuss ideas, encourage collaboration; and look into novel solutions to current problems. Delegates engaged in interactive workshops and panel discussions covering a variety of subjects, from social responsibility to environmental sustainability.

The outstanding performance of the Eastern Samar State University-Guiuan Campus delegation at the 15th Interactive Youth Forum is indicative of the university's resolve to developing future leaders who possess the values, knowledge, and abilities needed to bring about constructive social change.

Our commitment to transparency, efficiency, and excellence in service delivery continues to guide us as we strive to provide the best educational experience for all.
