The beauty and harmony of the West Philippine Sea rightfully belongs to the authority of the Philippines, not to any invaders who proclaim their power to take over our country's treasure.

It is clearly stated in our national anthem “Sa manlulupig, ‘di ka pasisiil”. Herewith, we should understand that fighting back is our only option, we must not give up any fractions of our treasure to anyone who mocks the authority of our nation in order to protect and preserve our glory and freedom for generations to come.

WE MUST FIGHT!

FEATURE | "All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my mother."

All shall always seek love throughout. Though it is at one point merely found, does one not question why it took so long to perceive? I hunched when I was but a child. Now, entering my phase of bloom, I've come to see that even before we come face to face with sunlight, we were already loved.

From the woes of an infant to the wines of a student, to the rage of an adolescent, up to the farewells of a young adult, warmth was eternal. She who bore and nourished the tiny life within her, the one who carried, fed, and cared. Strong women, our mothers.

No word was such to ever express our gratitude to the mothers; to which appellation can ever top them? Strong queens, wise women, brilliant warriors, and fierce goddesses.

As we celebrate Mother's Day today, let us embrace our nanays and our mamas and reminisce. Through the dark, there will always be that one person who'll light the fuse for you. And that is your mother.

Unconditional love is given to us the day we seek daylight, and it will continue to reside within our souls even when our beating hearts cease.

Another year passes and another milestone she reaches. We age not by years, but by stories.

School is home. But that home wouldn't be stable without a great pillar. Have you ever seen a school without a principal?

Beauty does not come with age but with the heart. It is but a tragedy that not everything can stay in the same place forever. Though it may be bitter there ought to be sweetness that comes with it.

Out of all other schools she chose to serve our alma mater. Days turned into months and months into years, 44 years of hardships and five years here at the Doña Rosario Highschool.

She may depart on her very birthday and will conquer a new journey but her legacy and mark will remain here at our school and her fire will continue to soar.

In the name of Justice.

Sacrifice, Resilience, Courage. The Philippines has always celebrated and honored the memory of the fallen heroes. Marching towards the crimson-stained stage without batting an eye earned them their well-deserved recognition. Despite meeting death eye to eye, our men fought with exceptional bravery for the sake of our past, present, and future.

An occasion to honor the heroism of Filipino soldiers during World War II: April 9th marks the Fall of Bataan in 1942. Their determination in the face of odds and their willingness to give their lives for the Pearl of the Orient is truly commendable. Today is the time we praise and remember their bravery and selflessness.

As we commemorate the Day of Valor, let us not only remember the past but also the privilege that it has given us in the present. Our commitment has served us freedom, democracy, and justice.

The Day of Valor serves as a reminder of our fallen soldiers who locked horns in Bataan and Corregidor. Let us draw strength from the courage of those who shed blood for us. May their undying courage inspire and be appreciated by future generations.
