As we bid adieu to another extraordinary year in the realm of Journalism, it is time to reflect upon the profound essence that has defined our collective journey. The synergy of eloquence, astuteness, and intrepid exploration has graced our path, forging an indelible mark upon our souls.

In traversing the intricate landscapes of news and storytelling, we unearthed a treasure trove of compelling narratives. With every article penned and every interview conducted, we delved deep into the recesses of the human experience, unearthing truths hidden beneath layers of complexity.

We, as aspiring journalists, became custodians of accuracy and veracity, our words bearing the weight of authenticity and integrity. Guided by the noble principles of objectivity and fairness, we illuminated the factual tapestry of events that unfolded before us, untangling the intricate web of information.

The beauty of our endeavor lies in the realization that journalism is not a mere assemblage of words but rather an intricate symphony of lexicon. We ventured beyond the mundane vernacular, weaving words with lyrical grace and bringing life to stories that would otherwise remain untold.

In the realm of journalism, words become the brushes with which we paint vivid, evocative images in the minds of our readers. By conjuring the perfect combination of adjectives, metaphors, and similes, we transport our audience to the heart of the narrative, unveiling emotions and connecting disparate worlds.

Through our relentless pursuit of diverse perspectives, we shattered preconceived notions, broadening the spectrum of understanding. The cacophony of voices that emanated from our pages harmoniously echoed the collective consciousness, fostering empathy and a genuine sense of shared humanity.

As we bid farewell to this chapter in our journalistic odyssey, let us bear witness to the transformative power we possess as ambassadors of truth. Let our narratives ripple through the annals of time, igniting conversations and sparking change.

May the beauty of journalism that has permeated our endeavor radiate in the echoes of our words, resonating far beyond these halls. As we embark on our individual paths, let our collective legacy endure, birthing a new generation of wordsmiths who will continue to safeguard the principles we hold dear.

Farewell, dear comrades, and may the beauty of journalism continue to illuminate our ever-evolving world.

International No Diet Day is celebrated every year on May 6th. It is a day that encourages individuals to embrace their bodies and reject diet culture. The day was created in 1992 by Mary Evans Young, a British feminist who had struggled with an eating disorder. She wanted to spread awareness about the dangers of dieting and promote body acceptance.

The diet industry is a multi-billion dollar industry that preys on people's insecurities about their bodies. It perpetuates the idea that thinness equals health and beauty, which is not necessarily true. Diets often lead to a cycle of restriction and bingeing, which can have negative effects on both physical and mental health.

International No Diet Day is a reminder that everyone is beautiful and worthy, regardless of their size or shape. It encourages people to focus on self-care and self-love instead of trying to conform to society's unrealistic beauty standards. It also promotes intuitive eating, which means listening to your body's hunger and fullness signals instead of following strict diet rules.

Celebrating International No Diet Day can look different for everyone. Some people may choose to wear clothing that makes them feel confident and comfortable in their bodies. Others may participate in body-positive events or engage in self-care activities like yoga or meditation. The important thing is to honor and love your body, exactly as it is.

In conclusion, International No Diet Day is a powerful reminder that everyone deserves to feel good about their bodies. It encourages people to reject harmful diet culture and embrace body positivity. So let's celebrate this day by embracing our bodies and encouraging others to do the same.

Labor Day

In the Philippines, Labor Day is also observed as a public holiday, and is celebrated on May 1st of each year. It is a day to honor the contributions of workers and the labor movement to Philippine society.

The holiday was first celebrated in the Philippines in 1903, and was initially called "Workers' Day." It became an official holiday in 1913, under the American colonial government.

Today, Labor Day is marked by parades and rallies organized by labor groups, which aim to raise awareness of workers' rights and the challenges facing workers in the Philippines. The holiday is also an occasion for workers to demand better wages, benefits, and working conditions from their employers and the government.

In recent years, there has been increased attention to the plight of overseas Filipino workers, who often face exploitation and abuse in foreign countries. Many labor groups use Labor Day as an opportunity to call for greater protection and support for these workers.

The Day of Valor, also known as Araw ng Kagitingan, is a national public holiday in the Philippines. It is celebrated every year on April 9th to commemorate the heroism of Filipino soldiers during World War II.

On April 9, 1942, Filipino and American soldiers fought against the Japanese Imperial Army in Bataan, a province in the Philippines. Despite being heavily outnumbered and outgunned, the soldiers held their ground for three months before finally surrendering. This event is known as the Fall of Bataan.

The soldiers who fought in Bataan are regarded as heroes in the Philippines. Many of them suffered from disease, starvation, and harsh conditions while in captivity. Thousands died during the Bataan Death March, a forced march of around 100 kilometers where prisoners were subjected to brutal treatment by their Japanese captors.

The Day of Valor is a day to remember the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought for their country during this difficult time. It is a day to honor their memory and to express gratitude for their service and devotion to the nation.

"Black Saturday" in the Philippines is a term used to refer to the day before Easter Sunday, which is observed as a national holiday in the country. It is a day of reflection and mourning for the Catholic community, as it marks the day when Jesus Christ was believed to have been laid to rest in his tomb after his crucifixion.

In the Philippines, Black Saturday is typically observed with solemn religious services and processions, as well as other cultural traditions such as the reading of the Passion of Christ, the recitation of the Rosary, and the Stations of the Cross.

Overall, Black Saturday is an important day of observance for many Filipinos, serving as a reminder of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the need for reflection and spiritual renewal in the lead up to Easter Sunday.

Good Friday is a Christian holiday that commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is observed on the Friday before Easter Sunday and is part of Holy Week, which includes Maundy Thursday and Holy Saturday. Good Friday is a day of solemn reflection and mourning for Christians around the world.

According to the Bible, Jesus was arrested on Thursday night and tried before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea. Pilate found Jesus guilty of blasphemy and sentenced him to be crucified. Jesus was then beaten, mocked, and forced to carry his own cross to the place of ex*****on, where he was nailed to the cross and left to die.

Good Friday is a time for Christians to remember and reflect on the sacrifice that Jesus made for them, and to contemplate the significance of his death and resurrection. Many churches hold special services on this day, and some Christians choose to fast or abstain from certain activities as a sign of their mourning and repentance.

Maundy Thursday is a Christian holiday that is celebrated on the Thursday before Easter Sunday. It commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his apostles, as described in the Bible. The name "Maundy" comes from the Latin word "mandatum," which means "commandment," and refers to the commandment that Jesus gave to his disciples at the Last Supper to love one another as he had loved them.

On Maundy Thursday, many Christian churches hold a special evening service known as the "Maundy Thursday service" or "Holy Thursday service." During this service, the clergy may wash the feet of the congregation or a select group of people, reenacting Jesus' act of humility towards his disciples. This is followed by a celebration of the Eucharist, which commemorates the Last Supper.

Maundy Thursday is also significant for the start of the Easter Triduum, which includes Good Friday and Holy Saturday. It is a time of reflection and preparation for Christians, as they remember the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.

Palm Sunday is a Christian holiday that falls on the Sunday before Easter. It commemorates the entrance of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, when he rode on a donkey and was greeted by crowds of people waving palm branches and shouting "Hosanna!" This event is recorded in the four Gospels of the Bible (Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-44, and John 12:12-19).

In many Christian traditions, Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, which is the week leading up to Easter. During this week, Christians remember the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.

On Palm Sunday, many churches hold processions or services where palm branches are blessed and distributed to the congregation. The palm branches are often shaped into crosses or other decorative designs, and people may also place them in their homes as a reminder of the holiday.

We honored St. Patrick's Day an annual holiday that is celebrated on March 17th. It is a cultural and religious celebration that commemorates the life and work of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Saint Patrick was a Christian missionary who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland in the 5th century. The holiday has been observed in Ireland for over a thousand years and is now celebrated all over the world.

The holiday is usually associated with the color green, shamrocks, and leprechauns, which are symbols of Irish culture. Many people celebrate St. Patrick's Day by wearing green clothing, attending parades, and consuming traditional Irish foods and drinks such as corned beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread, and Guinness beer.

In recent years, the holiday has become a global celebration, with many cities around the world hosting St. Patrick's Day parades and events. The celebration is especially popular in the United States, where many people of Irish descent live.

A number of New York Irish Aid groups made the decision in 1848 to combine their parades into a single, recognized Saint. Patrick's Day procession in New York City. With more than 150,000 participants, that procession is currently the oldest and biggest in the history of civilized mankind. To see the procession, which lasts for more than five hours, approximately 3 million spectators line the 1.5-mile parade route each year. Parades of between 10,000 and 20,000 participants each are held in Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Savannah to commemorate the day. A big metropolitan event that was originally postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was the New York City parade, which was also postponed in 2021. Return of the New York march and others across the nation.

humans hearts are akin to flowers—
some would bloom, some would wither.
in this ebb and flow of life do others cry,
some do it by singing till their mouths go dry,
while some would write poems to heaven.

they may cheer, they may grieve,
and these emotions are poured on paper
for the world or just a single person to see.
from the hearts of men it serves as a plea:
“hurrah!“ or “alas!” do they scream.

the cycle of time flows everlastingly like a river encircling its arms on the world. poets come to this earth, poets go to leave...yet what they have written will remain to see the light of another day even after the author's passing. not only are poems something that makes their muses eternal, but as well as they whose lithe fingers mingle with a pen to write these pieces.

motes of dust envelop each of us and one day, someday, we will be one with them yet once we are turned into literature and it becomes read by those who still live, we will live on with them in their minds, and these poets who create memoirs of us will also leave footprints on the sands of time.

World Poetry Day!

In honor of Shakespeare and his contributions to contemporary literature, and the English language here is a piece of brief information regarding him as we celebrate this year's Shakespeare Week.

𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙚, a name that rings louder than it normally should for a person. This name has been influential in nearly every aspect of literature. It all started from the powerful mind of an English Playwright named William Shakespeare. Shakespeare is widely regarded as the foremost English dramatist and poet of Elizabethan England. In the history of Western civilization, the most widely acclaimed and influential body of literature ever produced by any individual is attributed to him. He wrote 36 plays, 154 sonnets, and 2 narrative poems. He displayed a profound ability to characterize, and an exceptional capacity for poetic expression in his works.

Throughout his life, Shakespeare made notable contributions to literature and theatre. He played a significant role in standardizing the English Language in the 17th and 18th centuries. Shakespeare also introduced thousands of words to the English language. His method of developing new words was combining or contorting Latin, French, and other roots. On top of all of that, a lasting connection between romance and tragedy was first forged by Shakespeare, it was his belief that tragedies require romance.

The precise year Shakespeare began writing is unknown, however, contemporary allusions and records of performances show that several of his plays were performed in 1592 on the London Stage. Shakespeare’s works were originally classified into three main genres: comedies, tragedies, and histories. He later on made sonnets about romance which also became famous, studied, and based on by other authors. As a playwright, his signature style of writing is drama, and is best known for writing in iambic pentameter. His work portrays people, feelings, and situations that are relatable to spectators. An example of his famous sonnet 18
“shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” this romance sonnet resembles the admiration of a man for the love of his life. This is where he creatively expressed her beauty, which in his perception, he preferred to a summer day. The overarching theme of this lovely poem is the power of love infinitely immortalizes someone. Looking at Shakespeare’s plays, poems, and sonnets, you would know how dangerous and comforting a piece of paper can be to a legendary playwright.

Happy International 𝟯.𝟭𝟰 Day!

Do you know it was named 𝙋𝙞 𝘿𝙖𝙮 because it's 𝟯.𝟭𝟰? and it's a coincidence that it is also the birthday of our famous Mathematician, Albert Einstein.

Sum-ag National High School celebrated 𝙋𝙞 𝘿𝙖𝙮 with activities for both teachers and students with the theme "Mathematics Unite: Live to Inspire". In the morning, we have a quiz bee for non-math teachers, poster making, and a math gallery walk where students can learn about the games and puzzles in math. The Soma cube, Tower of Hanoi, Rubik's cube, Sudoku, and Damath. In the math gallery walk each of the games and puzzles were present and students give their best shot to puzzle the games and have fun.

While in the afternoon, we have our Mathematician Look-alike and mathdayaw contest. Each grade must have only 1 participant/s. In mathematician Look-alike production, participants have a picture of the person they're portraying and prepared a famous line to impersonate their chosen Mathematician. It ends with the Q & A with different questions about their contribution around the world.
In Mathdayaw, Grade 12 was the first performer, followed by Grade 9, Grade 11, Grade 10, Grade 8, and lastly Grade 7. Each of them has 10-15 members with 5-7 minutes of performance. The winners were expected to compete at the Division level yet, it's undetermined.

Everyone hold back their excitement just to scream 'Happy International 𝙋𝙞 𝘿𝙖𝙮' exactly 3:14 PM. Rheyla Gold Suspeña from Grade 7-STE sang the air-taking 100 digits of Pi of AsapSCIENCE. After that, they announce the winners of each competition. By the end of the celebration, everyone learned new lessons, trivia, or fun facts about math and value math in our lives.

Unit IV
2023 Unit Meet

The Handumanan National High School (HNHS), Mansilingan Agro-Industrial High School (MAIHS), Cabug National High School (CNHS), Paglaum Village National High School (PVNHS), M.G. Medalla Integrated School (MIS), Teofilo Gensoli Sr. National High School (TGSNHS), and Jovito Sayson National High School (JSNHS), were among the schools that participated in the Unit Meet on March 8, 2023, the first day of the event.

Basketball, volleyball, archery, table tennis, sepak takraw, chess, billiards, badminton, gymnastics, and football were among the sports that were played during the two-day competition. That took place across many campuses in Bacolod.

The yearly event seeks to support sports and physical education as essential elements of core academic curricula, provide training and exposure, increase the youth's gifts and capacities, stimulate healthy competition, and instill the virtues of excellence, discipline, and teamwork.

Unit Meet is one of the great locations and chances to help students develop their sportsmanship and camaraderie.

The event went off without a hitch, and the students—including myself—stepped out of the SNHS school gate with a smile, eager for tomorrow's activity, the final day of the Unit Meet.

" INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY "

wom•an
/ˈwo͝omən/
an adult female human being.

Women play a significant role in our society. They are the stepping stones a nation, a community, but most importantly a family. Their contribution is of utter importance yet the discrimination that they face never cease to disappear.

Today is 'International Women's Day'. It is a celebration where not only women but men as well recognize the achievements of women politically and economically and celebrate the importance of women's rights. A time to reflect on progress, and celebrate the bravery and determination of ordinary women who have played an extraordinary part in our lives. International Women's Day is all about women's equality in all its forms.

Women's active participation is essential for the development of society. Women's voices and their involvement in all aspects of the world are more important than ever. True empowerment of women can only be achieved if there is a change in society's attitudes towards women, treating them with the respect, dignity, fairness and equality they deserve. Women should have equal rights as men. Over the years, the women's rights movement has fought hard against this inequality, campaigning for changes to the law and taking to the streets demanding that women's rights be respected. Because women's rights are also human rights.

Welcome 2023! Happy New Year! The year 2023 is the year of the rabbit, anticipated to be a positive year. The year 2023, also known as the "Year of the Water Rabbit," starts on January 22 with the Chinese New Year and ends on February 9 with Chinese New Year's Eve. The rabbit is a Chinese zodiac sign that stands for prosperity, harmony, and long life. In the year of the rabbit, the previous sacrifices have been well repaid. All of our efforts will eventually pay off, and the sweetness of that fruit will be determined by how sincere our initial intentions were. Gamblers and stockbrokers experience a little extra "luck" this year since the Year of the Rabbit rewards those who are willing to take risks. Since the rabbit is also a fertility symbol, this is a powerful year for launching new enterprises, starting families, and finding inspiration for new artistic endeavors. Years of the rabbit include 2023, 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, 1963, 1951, and 1927. In light of your Chinese zodiac sign, let's look at your chances in the Year of the Rabbit. "It is our chance to be creative in presenting our message" because the color of the year is so inclusive and varied, Abrahan Lim.
