We may view life as a competition with the presence of distinctive individuals whose goal is to excel; we may undeniably compare ourselves to each other and lose sight of one's excellence.

More so, failure to acknowledge the endeavors periodically transpires. Hence, we should commend and develop a sense of gratitude for ourselves, as even the tiniest achievement deserves applause.

We honor the vital role of journalists in our society by commemorating National Press Freedom Day, today, August 30th. This working holiday, declared by former President Rodrigo Duterte in 2022, pays tribute to Marcelo H. del Pilar, a pioneering figure in Philippine journalism.

Furthermore, press freedom is essential for ensuring accountability, transparency, and informed citizenry. It empowers journalists to report the truth fearlessly, holding those in power accountable and shedding light on important issues.

As days pass, the country has seen many individuals express words that carry nothing but empty empathy.

“If you spend more than P64 for three meals a day, you're no longer considered food poor.”

"You have sexual rights with your spouse. For example, you don’t always choose when you’re in the mood. So what if your spouse doesn’t want to? Is there really no other way? Does this mean you would have to seek someone else?”

High-profile figures have commented on various social issues, leaving a significant impact and causing people to question whether to remain in their comfort zones—ignoring these concerns—or to speak out, attempting to break the cycle of ignoring reality or holding politicians accountable.

Is meaningful change possible?

For effective governance in our country, it is important to empower young Filipinos to step beyond their comfort zones, despite the recurring tendency to elect unprincipled leaders. Research shows that emphasizing youth empowerment is vital for any community or nation, as young individuals have the potential to drive significant change and shape the future.

Although Filipino voters continue to support competitive elections, they often reject liberalism and see checks on power, such as basic rights, as obstacles to improvement. This desire for “upright” governance, coupled with a preference for familiar leaders, sometimes leads to the election of individuals who carry hypocritical nuances.

Nonetheless, impermanence is the only permanence. As we mourn our martyrs from recent years and with the release of the list of possible candidates, the youth have realized that change is within reach; they are the way forward.

We must recognize that stepping out of our comfort zones—facing unfamiliarity with a sense of security from past experiences—may lead to personal and collective betterment. We should not wait for a new generation; we are that generation—the one that will step up and address these issues.

If we persist in our efforts for both ourselves and our country, a scenario of progress may emerge. It will be a long journey, but as we move forward and apply our experiences, we will gain a clearer vision for a brighter future.

In a celebration of faith and unity, Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod honored the Feast Day of their patron saint, Saint Augustine of Hippo, with a dignified procession and a solemn mass held at the school’s gymnasium earlier today, August 28.

The day began with a reverent procession in which Augustinians walked together, embodying their shared faith and unwavering commitment to their patron saint.

As the procession made its way to the school grounds, a solemn mass followed and was presided over by Most Rev. Patricio A. Buzon SDB, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese, together with the other Augustinian friars.

“Everyone is so precious. God created us in His own image and breathed life into us. Every time we look at others, we can see the face of God, reminding us always to do good to our fellow beings,” Bishop Buzon said in his homily.

After the mass, the celebration continued with an Agape lunch attended by guests, Augustinian friars, and administrators, while the students were permitted to head home.

Later in the afternoon, the festivities then featured a lively House of Jukebox event with a friendly feud, an exciting game of Bingo, and the much-anticipated ceremonial toss that brought cheers from the crowd.

The feast day of St. Augustine came to a meaningful close, leaving everyone with joyful memories and inspiring reflection on his core values of unitas, caritas, and veritas, encouraging all to embody these principles in their daily lives.

St. Augustine of Hippo’s Feast Day is celebrated annually on August 28th to honor the remarkable things he did and extraordinary writings he wrote. He is one of the ideals of brewers, prolific writers, theologians, and rhetoricians in a number of cities and dioceses. His distinctive theological style shaped Christianity in a way surpassed only by Scripture itself. St. Augustine’s work proceeds to hold contemporary significance, since his enlistment in a religious group that was ascendant in his time and remains today.

His numerous written works helped shape the practice of biblical exegesis and laid the foundation for much of medieval and modern Christian thought. His works continue to inspire us, pursuing profound reflections on our human nature, the source of wisdom and grace, and the search for the truth.

Today is the day for us to celebrate faith, reflect on our personal spiritual journeys, and honor him, whose insights continue to brighten the path of faith centuries later.

In 1896, thousands of Katipuneros led by Andres Bonifacio rose up against the Spanish colonizer’s oppression. The Cry of Pugadlawin marks a historical moment in Philippine history when the yearning for independence ignited the determination to form a revolutionary movement with the goal of reclaiming what rightfully belongs to Filipinos.

Today, we honor and commemorate the heroic acts of these fallen heroes who sacrificed their lives, labor, and dedication for our country's freedom. Their bravery allows us to celebrate and cherish our national independence.

Benigno 'Ninoy' S. Aquino Jr. once said, "A minute of heroism is better than decades of useless life.” In this quote, he emphasized the importance of bravery as it could lead to a meaningful action like what he did.

Augustinians, as we observe this day to be a special non-working day, let us honor the legacy of the man who was known for his remarkable courage and his contribution to the country’s freedom.

𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐰𝐚 𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐠𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐠𝐨

May mga yugto sa ating buhay na waring hinahamon tayo ng kapalaran–mga oras na kinakailangan nating tahakin ang landas ng walang katiyakan.

Naramdaman mo ba ang matinding kaba sa iyong dibdib noong humakbang ka papasok sa isang bagong paaralan? O umikot ba ang iyong mundo noong pumasok ka sa isang pagtitipon na hitik sa mga di-kilalang mukha?

Lahat tayo ay may kanya-kanyang espasyo kung saan tayo kumikilos araw-araw, isang lugar na tayo ay panatag at kampante. Dito, alam na natin ang bawat galaw, bawat tao na ating nakakasalamuha, at ang mga pangyayari na ating kinakaharap. Ngunit, dahil sa seguridad ng espasyong ito, tila niyayakap nalang natin ang kaligtasan ng pamilyar. Natatakot subukin ang hindi pa nalalaman, niyayanig ng takot sa hindi tiyak.

Makikita ito sa mga taong umiiwas sa mga bagong oportunidad, isang estudyante na pinipiling manatili sa likod ng klase upang maiwasan ang posibilidad ng pagkakamali o pagsasalita sa harap ng marami. Maaaring ito rin ay ang pagkapit sa mga paniniwala na matagal na nating hinahawakan, at ang pagkabigo na isaalang-alang ang iba't-ibang opinyon. Sa bawat aspeto, ang pananatili sa komportableng espasyo at pagtanggi sa mga hamon ay nagiging sanhi ng pagkasadlak na pumipigil sa atin sa pagtuklas ng mas makabuluhang karanasan.

Ngunit, sa bawat yugto ng ating buhay, hindi natin maiiwasan ang pakiramdam ng pag-aalinlangan at takot sa mga bagay na hindi pamilyar. Sa pagpasok natin sa mga bagong karanasan, kinakaharap natin ang mga bagay na hindi natin kontrolado, na nagtutulak sa atin na lumabas at maglakbay patungo sa mga bagay na hindi pa natin nasusubukan. Kung mangyari man sayo ito, dito at ngayon, nawa’y iwasang mag-atubiling yakapin ang di-kilalang landas.

Ang espasyo ng kaginhawaan ay isang magandang bagay, ngunit walang lumalago rito.
Ang paglago at pagbabago ay nagsisimula sa paglabas mo sa espasyo na iyong nakasanayan. Makipagkilala sa bagong mga tao, sumali sa isport na iyong hinahangad, sumayaw na tila ay wala nang bukas, at gawin ang mga bagay na iyong kinatatakutan. Ang bawat hakbang tungo sa walang katiyakan, ay isang hakbang tungo sa mga bagong posibilidad. Huwag mong hayaan na ang takot at kaba ang magtakda ng hangganan ng iyong limitasyon.

Sa huli, ikaw ang magtatakda ng iyong landas. Kung nakatuon ka lamang sa mga bagay na nagbibigay ng kaginhawaan, hindi mo malalasap ang kagandahan ng mga bagong oppurtunidad na nag-aabang sa hinaharap.

𝑵𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒘𝒂 𝒏𝒈𝒂 𝒃𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒈𝒂 𝒔𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒊 𝒔𝒂 𝒌𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒉𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒂𝒏

Tandaan na ang pagyakap sa pagbabago at kahirapan ang nagbibibigay ng paglago sa iba’t-ibang aspeto ng ating buhay.

𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒍𝒐𝒚 𝒌𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒎𝒖𝒉𝒂𝒚 𝒔𝒂 𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒎 𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒚𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒏, 𝒐 𝒔𝒖𝒔𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒐 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒈 𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊 𝒑𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒌𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒔?

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦

Oh, this little fellow with a fickle mind
Burdened by his thoughts, he lets out a sigh
He does it so frequently, yet oblivious of such mannerism
So caught up with nothing, a bubble he's blowing

Oh, now he's floating –- the bubble consumed his being
Not knowing how it happened, his mind got overrun with pessimism
"What shall I do? What do I want to do?" he asks himself as he's up high
An answer, an answer! He's trying to find

Time kept ticking, and his spirit resigned
No matter what he does, no matter how he tries, he's stuck in the sky
Accepted his faith, he found comfort in this invincible bubble
A clear vision of the world below, a witness to the living

"Oh, how gleeful are their laughs!," his eyes are glistening
Tiny figures live their chosen path, something unreachable
Unreachable for him, for his faith — he couldn't defy
"Should I embrace familiarity or venture into the wonders of reality?," a dilemma he faced

Yet, he longed for his dreams –- those he once chased
Regret is a consequence, so shall he take his chances?
Should he come out of the bubble that is now his solace?
Or should he play safe and stay in this familiar place?

At long last, he decided
With a spirit blazing with purpose and a newfound optimism,
The bubble caging him disappeared
Revealing the illusions of a prism.

Challenging students to lead with purpose, empathy, and integrity, a transformative journey is underway at Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod, where Augustinian student leaders are being equipped to inspire positive change through the Augustinian Leadership Summit with the theme “Augustinian Leaders: Leading the Way in Empowering Servant Leadership,” held at the school's auditorium and student center, last August 9–10 and August 16–17.

The summit attended by student leaders from various departments of CSA-B included representation from the Supreme Student Council’s President Steven Charl Arcallo, Vice President Yzabelle Dominique Aliboso, and Secretary Carlos Miguel Conlu for the Basic Education Department (BED) - Senior High School, along with the Editor-in-Chief of The Aquila Publication, Reyssa Amethyst Casipe.

On the first day, Rev. Fr. Raymundo Edsel T. Alcayaga, O.S.A., Vice President for Augustinian Formation Religious Affairs and Mission, delivered an insightful keynote address, followed by a discussion with Rev. Fr. Wilson A. Capellan, O.S.A., Vice President for Finance & Administration, about Augustinian servant leadership, emphasizing humility and service, while Ms. Altha Gracia Diopido, RSW Head of Community Extension Program Office, focused on community engagement for societal impact.

Moving on to the second day, the summit featured Mr. Ken Paolo Gilo’s talk on social, civic, and political awareness, stressing youth’s role in societal change, followed by Mr. Joshua Villalobos, Secretary General, Negrosanon Initiative for Climate & Environment, who focused on a session about environmental sustainability, highlighting the need for collective action on ecological challenges.

Continuing on the third day, the summit included a series of enriching sessions, such as a discussion on the significance of arts and culture and an interactive workshop on event preparation and management, culminating in an output presentation led by Mr. Ricardo M. Salanap Jr., Assistant Director of Kinaadman Center for Culture and Arts.

Finally, on the last day, the summit wrapped up with a talk on the protocols of the Vice President for Student Affairs (VPSA) by Ms. Novella J. Radislao, MBA Co-Curricular Activities Coordinator, followed by a mass presided over by Rev. Fr. Alfredo B. Jubac, O.S.A.

“Be a beacon of hope, and may God bless you in this wonderful journey,” Rev. Fr. Jubac said in his homily, and the summit concluded successfully with the ceremonial oath-taking and the awarding of certificates to the participants.

The summit ended successfully, as the Augustinian student leaders were able to apply the knowledge gained from the sessions and are now prepared to serve the Augustinian community with renewed passion and commitment.

Colegio San Agustin-Bacolod (CSA-B) celebrated the Holy Spirit Mass to welcome the academic year with solemnity within the enclosure of the school's gymnasium earlier today, August 16.

Led by the school's president, Rev. Fr. Jose Rene Delariarte, O.S.A., together with the other Augustinian friars, presided over the mass to welcome the school year with anticipation and excitement.

“Inspiration is not something you receive from your friends, parents, or others; it is a spirit within you that makes you do something impossible and bring yourself more than that. You are becoming somebody—an Augustinian Catholic student,” Rev. Fr. Delariarte said in his homily.

Following the mass, the Augustinian community filled the gymnasium with joyous screams and cheers as the welcome program, titled “Pag Abi Abi sa San Ag," commenced right after, with a brief introduction of the long and rich history of CSA-B.

The program then continued with warm welcome remarks from Dr. Randdie Cuelo, Vice President for Academic Affairs, followed by the “Tubo Kag Madamo Pa” performance of the Kagayon Dance Troupe and “Ang Huling El Bimbo Musical Excerpt” by the Kanlaon Theater Guild.

Subsequently, the highlight of the program was the presentation of key officers and administrators by Karen Zamora, Human Resource Management and Development Office Director, and the performances of the KamiGhon Band and Kagayon Dance Troupe, of the piece “Maayo Man," and “One More Chance Musical Excerpt” by the Kanlaon Theater Guild.

The event then concluded on a high note with a spirited performance of "Agustino Ka" by the Kagayon Dance Troupe and Kanlaon Theater Guild, followed by a rousing rendition of the school's marching song, "Golden Star," inspiring the entire community for the academic year ahead.

𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲

Starting senior high school felt like being dropped into a foreign country without a map or a guide. Entering the grounds felt similar to stepping off a plane where I do not speak the language and know no one—a place crowded with unfamiliar faces. Leaving behind my refuge, I had to find my way in this new milieu, guided only by an inner voice urging me to explore and embrace the unknown. Alone and uncertain, this is my 𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚.

Every student experiences those heart-pounding moments of venturing unfamiliarity—beyond the borders of solace and home. It can be the first day at a new school, joining an uncharacteristic club, or trying out for a sports team. We've all been there. In those moments, I stood at a crossroad, thinking, and contemplating on a path of no return. Will I walk back? Or will I traverse forward?

There's a certain comfort in familiarity. It's like an old friend, always there, offering security in uncertainty. But is comfort truly what we're striving for, or are we just using it as an easy way to avoid growth? As J.R.R. Tolkien once said, "Not all those who wander are lost." Wandering can be aimless—it can be exhilarating to explore without a destination, building your own identity through every step. But also, wandering can be purposeful, with a steadfast direction towards the end. Stepping out of our shells requires us to learn from past experiences without letting them hold us back. Whether you're taking on a challenging course, building new friendships, or pursuing a passion, every step into uncharted territory is a chance to grow. Life is an adventure, so dare to wander. Your next greatest chapter might just be found on the other page.

So, what are you waiting for? That perfect moment? Grasping perfection can only come when you reach for it. Don’t let fear hold you back. Venture forth and take flight. It might not end perfectly, but every experience will shape who you become. And perhaps you’ll find yourself soaring higher than you’ve ever imagined. At the end of the day, as the world is basked in moonlight and you lay in the quietness of the night, the choice lies with you.

𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒂𝒓 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒉, 𝒐𝒓 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒖𝒏𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒕 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒛𝒐𝒏𝒔?

Filipina boxer Aira Villegas clinched a bronze medal with a score of 0-5 against the Turkish boxer Buse Naz Çakıroğlu in the women's 50-kg boxing category in the 2024 Paris Olympics staged at Stade Roland Garros last August 7.

In the first round of the women's 50-kg boxing category, with Villegas fighting a close opening round, Çakıroğlu still dominated Villegas, according to all five judges.

Villegas seized the second round with a powerful knockdown against Çakıroğlu, but it was still not enough to defeat the silver medalist at Tokyo 2022, Turkish boxer Çakıroğlu, who stayed on top.

Meanwhile, one of the country's best contenders, EJ Obiena, finished fourth, as he brought pride to the country by clearing a record of 5.90 meters in the athletics men's pole vault category, where he fell short of a podium finish on August 6.

With an injured spine, Obiena's preparation for the Olympics was impacted, as he had undergone a cortisone injection for his spine in Rome.

In a conference on a Wednesday afternoon on August 7, Obiena stated that it did not hinder him from performing well but instead impacted his preparations for the Olympics, and after failing three attempts at clearing the bar at a height of 5.95 meters, Obiena finished fourth.

Moreover, following their great performances, Nesthy Petecio stood proud with a bronze medal after a split decision loss with a score of 1-4 against Julia Szeremeta of Poland in the women's 57-kg boxing category yesterday, August 8.

Petecio gave her best in the first round which garnered her the favor of all five judges, but Szeremeta took another step up, in which she prevailed in both the second and the third round, claiming the spot to advance to the final.

Despite the defeat, the three of them, Obiena, Pestecio, and Villegas, displayed determination and a tremendous heart in their respective fields and have brought pride to the country.
