𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗥. Today, August 30, 2024, students applying for graduation from the four departments participated in the College Graduating Students' Assembly at the LCCB Auditorium, bringing them one step closer to their graduation dreams.

The assembly was set into motion by Mr. Joselito M. Diaz, MBA, Head of the Office of Student Affairs and Services (OSAS) and Supreme Student Government Adviser (SSG), shedding light on the necessary requirements for graduating students including grades completion, retreat scheduling, and the criteria for the Latin honors.

“It doesn’t define you,” Mr Diaz quoted; this filled the auditorium with a sense of inspiration for students who think they failed to meet the criteria for the Latin honors.

Despite the power interruption during the afternoon session, a fundamental part of the assembly pushed through—a talk titled "School to Work: Fostering Good Ethics in the Workplace." The session was graced by the presence of honorable Ms. Catherine Obaredes, RPm, CHRA, who served as the guest speaker.

According to her, the qualities that underscore good workplace ethics include punctuality, time management, accountability, professionalism, and dedication, particularly for graduating students transitioning from academic life to professional careers.

Both the morning and afternoon sessions addressed key points for graduating students, enabling them to take another step closer to entering the professional world.

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚. 𝙄𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚"—salitang hinabilin ng isang kilalang namayapang mamamahayag na si Jose Jaime “Nonoy” Espina. Binibigyang-diin nito ang layunin ng malayang pamamahayag sa ating lipunan, at ang patuloy na laban para sa kalayaang hindi kusang binibigay kundi kinakailangang ipaglaban.

Tuwing ika-30 ng Agosto, ginugunita ang National Press Freedom Day bilang araw ng pagkilala sa mga mamamahayag na patuloy na lumalaban para sa katotohanan at paalala para sa lahat ang kahalagahan ng media sa pagpapalaganap ng katotohanan, katarungan, at kalayaan. Iniuugnay ang araw na ito kay Marcelo H. Del Pilar, isang pambansang bayani na kinikilalang “Ama ng Pamamahayag sa Pilipinas” dahil sa makabuluhang kontribusyon nito sa pamamahayag at kalayaan ng ating bansa mula sa kolonisasyon ng mga Espanyol. Si Del Pilar o Plaridel, na naging editor ng Pilipinong repormistang pahayagan, ang La Solidaridad, ay ipinanganak noong Agosto 30, 1850.

Ngayong National Press Freedom Day, isaisip natin na ang malayang pamamahayag ay hindi nagtatapos sa mga ulat at mga sulat lamang at hindi ito pansamantalang tungkulin bagkus isa itong pamana, hindi lamang sa mga mamamahayag, kundi sa bawat Pilipinong hangad na malaman ang katotohanan at mapanatili ang isang lipunang mulat at malaya.

𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀: 𝗚𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲
𝘖𝘗𝘐𝘕𝘐𝘖𝘕: 𝘖𝘯 𝘐𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 & 𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺

As a member of the generation who speaks up—Generation Z—I am very much exposed to a culture that was always prevalent tracing way before—the Marites culture. Often associated with a negative outlook, the term “Marites” has evolved. It has become a symbol of the widespread culture of gossip and rapid—and I say rapid—dissemination of information, often passed with verification of what is the truth or whatnot.

I would say—this culture is a double-edged sword. With its many facets, let us focus primarily on the complex pros and cons of “Marites culture”. Think of this like this: Have you ever been a “Marites”? I think we all have been, both consciously and unconsciously. Surprisingly—it is all not just “cons”, even this is how modern society or common consensus plays it out—and in a way—it is a useful instrument in becoming socially aware of what is happening around us, but there’s a catch. This only works if we know how to draw the line between healthy discourses and harmful gossip of “chismis”. I know, it’s still kind of confusing.

As social beings, we strive for connections, and exchanging stories and information is a natural part of our interactions as humans. Marites culture has long been used to create communities where people feel like they belong because of their shared experiences and tales. When information is shared with the right people, it can raise social consciousness and inspire group action on important topics. For example, knowledge about social issues or local changes helps communities to be proactive and watchful. However, this culture can be used to disseminate false information, incite conflict, and harm people's reputations when it overflows into malevolent gossip.

It is impossible to overstate the importance of Marites culture in the Philippine context. Unchecked information can have a big impact in a society where gossip and news circulate quickly. It begs the question, is having these discussions necessary? Sure, but exercise caution. While it's critical to keep up with current events and have meaningful conversations about issues that impact us, it's also crucial to distinguish between reality and fiction and to refrain from spreading false or dangerous information.

We must learn to distinguish clearly between sharing essential news and spreading unfounded rumors. Marites culture can be beneficial, but it requires a conscious effort to move from being simply purveyors of gossip to becoming responsible information "specialists." This means that we should be more careful with the words we say, especially on social media where our words have a larger audience and more impact. Inquiring about the sources and motivations behind the information we receive and share requires us to be alert information consumers.

Let's embrace Marites culture in a way that encourages social consciousness and fruitful discourse, to sum up. Let's concentrate on problems that have an impact on our daily lives and improve our communities. We can change the Marites culture into one that promotes knowledgeable, involved, and responsible citizens by being aware of the information we share and take in.

“Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.” -St. Augustine

Celebrating the Feast of St. Augustine reminds us of his great faithfulness and dedication to the Almighty God. His journey has been a path of turmoil, but along the way, he found his way home, where the truth lies that led to his transfiguration.

Let us take this momentous time to commemorate the ample teachings from him that grant us wisdom and devotion that steered us to experience renewal, too. St. Augustine's history was a testimony that even the last, the least, and the lost can find acceptance and grace through God's ceaseless love.

𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦. In celebration of the feasts of St. Monica and St. Augustine, LCCB community gathered at the LCCB Centennial Quadrangle earlier today, August 27, for the annual Institutional Mass of the Holy Spirit.

Rev. Fr. Jepser Bermudez, OSA, led the congregation attended by the staff, faculty, and students from the Integrated School (IS), Senior High School (SHS), and College Department.

In Fr. Bermudez’s homily, he said that we should love God and our neighbor as this is the center of life in our community. It is not about “I” all the time, so we should look after the people around us, living a Christian life, to continue to live in oneness of mind and heart.

"𝗦𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗹𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗴, 𝗱𝗶 𝗸𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗶𝗹"—a line from the Philippine national anthem, depicting defiance against oppressors. In times of uncertainty and constant historical distortion, it is significant to commemorate all Filipino heroes—past and present, known and unknown—who have sacrificed their life with bravery, defiance, and fortitude.

Today, August 26, 2024, we celebrate National Heroes Day, marking the anniversary of the Cry of Pugad Lawin—the pivotal moment that ignited the Philippine Revolution. Let us take a moment to reflect and pay tribute to those who paved the way and fought for the freedom and liberation of our country, the Philippines. May we, as Filipinos, continue to stand against the oppressors and uphold what they have fought for.

𝗜𝗖𝗬𝗠𝗜: Classes and office operations are suspended on August 23 (Friday) and August 26 (Monday) in observance of Ninoy Aquino Day and National Heroes' Day respectively.

President Bongbong Marcos recently moved the celebration of Ninoy Aquino Day, a special non-working holiday, from its original date August 21 (Wednesday) to August 23 (Friday).

This resulted to a long weekend as National Heroes' Day, a regular public holiday, is observed on August 26 (Monday).

𝗦𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗘. The late Senator Benigno 'Ninoy' Aquino Jr. once said, 'The Filipino is worth dying for.' In honor of his legacy, let us remember that it was his sacrifice on August 21, 1983, that ignited the flame of the People Power Revolution.

As we reflect on his words, let us also recognize the power of democracy—our greatest weapon against the threats to freedom. When the voice of the people rises against corruption and deceit, it cannot be silenced!

Bilang pagpupugay sa Wikang Filipino, dinidiwang taun-taon ang Buwan ng Wika sa Pilipinas; ngunit sa kasalukuyan, mas malalim ang pagninilay na kaakibat ng temang, “Filipino, ang wikang mapaglaya.”

Tunay nga na mapaglaya ang wika ng inang bansa sapagkat ang kalayaan ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa kakayahang magsalita – ito rin ay nakaloob sa pagpapahayag ng damdamin, adhikain, at pananaw ng mga mamamayan.

Sa pamamagitan nito, lumalakas ang loob ng bawat Pilipino na magpahayag ng saloobin nang walang hadlang. Ito ay napapatunayan ng kasalukuyang panahon kung saan iba’t-iba ang anyo at estilo ng paggamit ng Filipino—sa larangang iskolar, musika, panitikan, sining, at maging sa social media—lahat ay sumasagisag sa likas na pagka-malikhain ng ating lahi.

Samakatuwid, ang pagiging mapaglaya ng wika ay masasaksihan sa pagpapahayag ng mga Pilipino ng sari-saring anyo ng identidad.

Ngayong Buwan ng Wika, ipagdiwang natin ang wikang Filipino bilang wikang mapaglaya. Patuloy natin itong gamitin upang itaguyod ang kalayaan ng bawat isa na maging tunay na Pilipino sa sariling paraan.

At sa pagsusumikap ng wikang Filipino na tayo’y palayain, nawa’y maintindihan natin na habang ito ay nagpapalaya, ito rin ay nagbubuklod.

Sound the Alarm @LCCB

The school bell cried for #ClimateJustice as LCCB participated in Sound the Alarm at 2:30 PM today, Sept. 20. This movement, which is lead by Greenpeace Philippines, is a symbol of our solidarity towards our fellow Filipinos who are affected by the climate crisis, as well as a way of demanding to global leaders to declare a climate emergency. While the bells were ringing, everyone was instructed to stay calm, offer a prayer, and be involved in initiatives and activities directed toward climate action. Afterward, an institutional prayer was offered for our country and our current climate condition. #ClimateActionNOW #ClimateEmergencyHour
