All things reach an end eventually, and as part of keeping the events of last year into memory, journey back to the events that bid farewell to 2024.

For the last two months, tragedy struck as back-to-back typhoons wrecked havoc in the country, compromising not only life but livelihood as well. Budget allocations and the state of education were then brought to light as government decisions foreshadowed service to the Filipino people for the coming year.

Then came December, Baguio's streets were beaming and merry as SLU's Lantern Parade once again captivated audiences with a spectacle of artistry and lights. Letters and symbols were then unwrapped in anticipation of the Christmas Spirit's reign.

From the darkest to the brightest, immerse yourself in the last moments of the dusk as you greet the promise of tomorrow. Say goodbye to 2024 with Daily Dose's November-December issue.

Some of us may look back at 2024 as a single step in our lives. Yet, that step, no matter how small, may have demanded everything from us—if not all.

This past year has been a testament to unwavering grit, resilience, and growth, shaping us into the best versions of ourselves. For that, we are deeply grateful. Grateful for the challenges that taught us strength, the moments that truly made us smile, the friends we lost and found along the way, and the memories we will cherish forever.

As the sun sets on 2024, the dawn of a new year beckons, inviting us to paint the horizon with fresh dreams, bold resolutions, and renewed hope for whatever lies ahead.

May 2025 be a year of purpose, fulfillment, and meaning. Here’s to embracing the unknown and building a future that reflects our aspirations.

Happy New Year from the Daily Dose Family to yours!🎆✨️

“Pasasaan pa ang kalayaan kung ang alipin ngayon ay sila din namang mang-aalipin bukas.” – Dr. Jose Rizal

Sa loob ng isang daan at dalawampu't walong taon, kailanman ay hindi kumupas ang sidhi ng mga kontribusyon ni G*t Jose Rizal sa estado ng Pilipinas na ating ginalagawan ngayon.

Kaya sa anibersaryo ng kanyang pagkamatay, sama-sama nating gunitain ang kanyang buhay at sakripisyo sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaroon ng malasakit at pagkakaisa nang hindi na muling maulit ang mga pagkakamali ng nakaraan. Ating tanawin ang hinaharap at isulong ang tunay na kalayaan—isang kalayaang nag-uugat sa paggalang at pagmamahalan sa bawat isa.

Maligayang araw ng kabayanihan ni Rizal! Nawa'y lahat ng kanyang mga makabayang mithiin ay ating maisakatuparan tungo sa isang payapa at malayang Pilipinas.

𝗢𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁: 𝗔 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻

“The Lantern Parade signals the start of the Christmas season of Baguio City, and we are fortunate to be the ones starting it.”

This was the sentiment expressed by Dr. Ann Opiña, dean of the School of Nursing, Allied Health, and Biological Sciences (SONAHBS), when approached for an interview prior to the initiation of the Saint Louis University Lantern Parade on Sunday, December 1, 2024.

Events were instigated with an enchanting performance by the SLU Marching Band, setting the tone for the evening. It kicked off with the lighting of the Christmas tree, featuring reimagined stained glass-inspired scenes of Christ's nativity.

The procession of lights itself was set according to the Louisian-spirited theme of “Missio et Excellentia: Championing Sustainability, Promoting Inclusive Education, Pioneering Innovation.” This proved to be not just a spectacle, but a powerful reflection of the university’s mission to foster social responsibility and forward-thinking ideals.

Students and faculty assented to what they believed the very importance of the Lantern Parade to be: teamwork, camaraderie, and unity among the student body,

“Masaya, kasi iba't ibang departments na kasama sa SONAHBS ang nag-unite…hindi naman magiging successful ang Lantern Parade kung hindi united ang mga students,” said Arabella Dino, 3rd year student from BS Pharmacy.

Such values weren’t left in words but were carried out in the vibrant displays and performances that showcased the creativity and talent of SLU student body. Amidst the sea of twinkling lights and colorful costumes, this unity lived on in the array of performances, including musical numbers, dance routines, and theatrical acts. These only emphasized the university’s strong sense of community and a collective drive towards positive change. Moreover, it led others back to the reason for the season.

“It brings us closer to the essence of what Christmas is all about: we're celebrating Jesus,” as stated by BS Nursing 3 instructor Sir Gilbert Marzan.

The themes depicted by each school in the designs of the lanterns were influenced by the values of the CICM. The university’s values will always anchor us back to the heart of our identity. In reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas, however, another question arises: what makes the Lantern Parade in particular so special?

“The Lantern Parade sets us apart from all other activities in the Philippines. We are world-class.”

This was the grand proclamation of Sir Allan Jay Espiritu, associate dean of the SONAHBS. It invites us to ponder on the idea: what makes the parade of a private institution from a city in the mountains world-class? The answer is simple.

The Lantern Parade is made world-class because of the joy and collaboration that lives at its foundation. The excitement and spectacle of the occasion can only be owed to the energy of students, faculty, and staff members alike that have been seeing this through since it began in 2008.

For its 16th year, the institution has upheld its promise of providing light and heart to the streets of Baguio City in the face of adversity and struggle.

As we look back on its conclusion, we also look to the future knowing that the Lantern Parade will carry on, illuminating the crowds on the First of December for years to come.

𝗔 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲

As the festive spirit reaches its peak, the world is filled with enchanting lights and joyous melodies–of laughter and endless Christmas carols. Everywhere you look there are delightful decorations and cherished traditions, families and friends bonding over stories of nostalgia and sweet memories. Among these, there is one you can never forget. Decorating countless Christmas trees, included in many gifts, it stands out with its sweet charm and irresistible taste —the candy cane.

Known for their sweet taste and iconic red and white swirl, these confections have become an iconic symbol of Christmas joy. From department stores to ornately decorated homes, and just about everywhere the Christmas spirit can reach, candy canes can be seen adorning and adding sweetness to every corner.

But beyond their festive allure, candy canes hold a profound meaning, deeply rooted in Christianity and the story of Jesus Christ.

No one knows for certain where the festive treat originated or how it donned its iconic red and white stripes. Story has it that the origin of the candy cane came from a candymaker who wanted to create a candy that signified the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He started with a solid white stick of hard candy to represent the sinless nature of Christ, and added the red stripes to represent the blood shed by Christ–a sacrifice to give the world the promise of eternal life. The iconic shape was then incorporated to represent the staff of the “Good Shepherd,” with which He uses, reaching into the ditches, the world of the sinful and wretched, lifting them out of the mud and showing them a better path–like lambs needing guidance.

The shepherd's cane represents Jesus’ love and faith in humanity, reminding us that no matter how deep or how dark the path gets, there will always be a light guiding us to where we’re supposed to be. No one is ever too wretched or too poor for love or for redemption. No pit is ever too deep and no one is ever hopeless. In destitute and in poverty, there are riches. In loneliness and in solitude, there is hope. Like a candy cane, our world is intertwined with different colors, our responsibility comes with the understanding that we are never alone and nothing is really set in stone until it is done. There will always be a light shining over us and a guiding shepherd to beckon whenever we are led astray.

Beyond its sweetness and vibrant colors, the candy cane serves as a symbol of the joy, peace, and goodwill that define the spirit of Christmas. So however you enjoy your candy canes, whether hung on a Christmas tree, used to stir hot cocoa, or given as a gift, remember that in every candy cane, we find a story of love, sacrifice, and the promise of hope.

Christmas is not just a holiday; it's a celebration of love, unity, and hope. Based on the birth of Jesus Christ, it signifies God's unlimited grace and encourages one to remain humble and compassionate.

This season calls us to think about our blessings, to reach out in kindness to others, and to celebrate the bonds that bring us together. Through giving, forgiving, and uniting with loved ones, we are Christmas in all its fullness.

May this special day fill your heart with peace and goodwill throughout the year. Merry Christmas!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝘆𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗥𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀

Proclamation. Salvation. Tradition.

As the world embraces the spirit of Christmas, the resonating sound of bells fills the cold breeze on Christmas Eve, marking another year of a centuries-old tradition, history, faith, and festivity. The tradition of ringing bells on Christmas Eve is steeped in Christian worship, it heralds the birth of Jesus Christ that symbolizes hope and salvation.

Luke 2:14 says, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

The clear, jubilant tones of the ringing bells is akin to the angelic proclamation to shepherds in the fields as a celebration of this heavenly message, linking its listeners to the divine. Today, churches often ring their bells in Midnight Mass services to invite worshippers to gather— this acts as a unifying call to bring communities together in this shared sacred celebration of God’s son, Jesus Christ. Celebrating Christmas is not only celebrated within the religious context but is way beyond that. Christmas has become a broader iconic celebration, celebrated by families all over the world.

Immortalized in songs like “Jingle Bells”, playful charm of snowy landscapes and excitement of Santa’s arrival. These bells hold a connection of solidarity between communities. Christmas Eve bells also became a symbol of hope and resilience during tough times throughout the years. Ringing of bells also shares moments of unity and cheer. The crisp sound of bells resonates nostalgic childhood Christmases, family gatherings, and years of traditions. Alongside the twinkling lights, Christmas trees, and festive treats creates a celebration that engages and uplifts everyone.

As the world embraces the spirit of Christmas, the resonating sound of bells fills the cold breeze on Christmas Eve— signifying joy, connection, and renewal. This timeless tradition of joyful ringing of the timeless chimes, its echoes rings out across cities with a message of peace, love, and goodwill. This simple act reminds us of shared humanity that transcends time and space, unyielding the power of hope ensuring the spirit of the season.

Sa pagmulat ng aking mga mata, isa lamang ang nasa isipan—ang kumita kahit barya-barya. Sa bawat paghawak ng manibela at pag-ikot ng gulong, natutunghayan ko ang iba’t-bang mukha ng mundo: ang pagkunot ng noo ng mga pasahero tuwing haharap sa trapiko sa umaga, ang masayang halakhak ng mga estudyante habang tumatawid ng kalsada, at ang payapang lansangan tuwing dis-oras ng gabi. Sa bawat biyahe, kasabay ng ingay ng andar ng makina, ang landas ko ay laging patungo pabalik sa aking pamilya.

Hindi madali ang araw-araw na pakikibaka. Bawat sentimo na aking kinikita, kapalit nito ay pagkain at kinabukasan ng aking mga munting prinsipe’t prinsesa. Kahit sa simpleng pasalubong, tulad ng tinapay o kendi, ay sapat na para makita ko ang mga matatamis na ngiti nila at ipaalala sa akin kung bakit ako nagsusumikap. May mga pagkakataong ang daan ay sadyang matarik, ang trapiko’y matinding sagabal, at sa bawat paghinto ay may kahulugan. Ito ay nakapagbibigay sa akin ng pagkakataon upang maghanda sa susunod na landas na aking tatahakin kasama ang mga pasaherong umaasa at nagtitiwala na ang kanilang pagsakay ay maging tulay upang makarating nang ligtas sa kanilang paroroonan.

Ngayong kapaskuhan, ang tanging hiling ay kaginhawaan. Hindi lamang para sa akin at sa aking minamahal sa buhay, kundi pati na rin sa bawat pasaherong sumasakay. Sa bawat saksi ng panibagong umaga, dala namin ang pag-asa na sa bawat kalsadang binabaybay, isang mas maginhawang hinaharap ang naghihintay.

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗢𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

Most often than not, wreaths have become a staple ornament during the holidays; but digging deeper into history, wreaths are more than the decoration they seem to be.

Tracing back to the 16th century in Germany, the Advent wreath played a central role in Christian celebrations leading up to Christmas which spread through the 19th century. The evergreen branches woven to a circle symbolizes God's unchanging nature and eternal life. Some wreaths include four to five candles, indicating the weeks of Advent which are then lit every Sunday carrying a specific meaning mostly about hope, peace, joy, and love, culminating in the lighting of the Christ candle on the evening of the day of Christmas.

As mentioned above, wreaths are also associated with other Christian celebrations, thus symbolizing other Christian values. Evidently, it has its resemblance to the crown of thorns worn by Jesus Christ especially when decorated with red berries or ribbons which signify the blood He shed for humanity. However, during Christmas, wreaths are a reminder of Christ's birth and a promise of salvation oftenly hung on doors, walls, and even as centerpieces embodying themes of preparation, welcome, and celebration for the coming of Christ.

So, the next time you see a wreath, let us be reminded of its meaning and significance as a symbol of faith, love, and hope, and not just an ordinary ornament.

Kung ako man ay hihiling sa mga bituin na binabalot ng kadiliman at katahimikan, sa lawak ng karagatan ngayong papalapit na ang araw na ayaw kong palagpasin, sa kabila ng layong narating, hindi na lamang regalo ang aking nanaisin kundi ang kaligtasan at kasaganahan ng huhulihin sa kailaliman na hindi malaman kung saan ang hangganan. Kung inalon ang liham na ito patungo sa'yo, sana'y mapagtanto mo na hindi lamang ang mga tahanan sa kapatagan ang umaasa sa biyayang darating, ngunit kami ring narito't nag-iisa sa katubigang mapanganib na ang tanging pag-asa ay ang muling pagsibol ng araw na nagpapaalala na sa anumang along haharapin, aasang makauuwi rin.

Aaminin ko. Ako rin ay may takot sa kailaliman ng aking puso na sa bawat pagsakay sa aking bangka ay baka maglaho na lamang ito sa guhit-tagpuan ng kalangitan at karagatan at hindi na muling masisilayan pa. Ako rin ay natatakot sa hinaharap na mga pagsubok mapa-lupa man o tubig ang aking tinatahak. Ngunit ipinagdarasal ko ang maginhawang asul na kulay ng kapaligiran at walang anumang gambala na matatamo sa nagsisilakihang mga barko na galing sa kanlurang dako, upang maging panatag na kami'y makararating sa aming destinasyon nang masalubong namin ang Pasko.

Isinisigaw ko ang aking pangarap kung saan sa tuwing kami'y papalapit na sa kapuluan ng aming bayan sakay ang modernisado at bagong gawa't ayos na bangkang pangisda na mayroong panibagong mga kagamitan, sumasalubong ang tulong na nanggaling sa mas nakatataas na handa kaming tulungan sa aming pagpalaot, at maipadama sa amin na gaano man kalawak ang karagatan ay masasandalan namin ang gobyernong kaya kaming ipaglaban.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲

When the path seems dim, you will be safe with Him.

𝙈𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨

In the Nativity story, angels are God’s messengers, bearing tidings of great joy. Three days before Christmas, the Homilies of Simbang Gabi reflect on the angel Gabriel, who announces to Mary that she has been chosen to bear the Son of God—a moment of fulfillment, complete submission, absolute trust, and wholehearted obedience (Luke 1:26-38). Similarly, an angel appears to Joseph in a dream, reassuring him to take Mary as his wife and revealing that the child shall be named Jesus (Matthew 1:20-21). These encounters feature how angels are sent to guide us toward God’s will.

In today’s generation, where we often voice our frustrations loudly, especially when facing the consequences of our decisions, God continually finds ways to redirect us to His great will so we will neither lose nor become lost. It’s a hard and sometimes painful journey to walk paths we cannot fully comprehend. Yet, like Mary, may we embody complete submission, absolute trust, and wholehearted obedience.

“𝙇𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚”

The Star of Bethlehem further illustrates God’s guidance in the Nativity story. This celestial phenomenon leads the Wise Men to the infant Jesus, guiding them to worship the newborn King (Matthew 2:1-12). The star symbolizes God’s love and provision, offering direction and clarity to those who seek Him, even amidst uncertainty.

Moreover, in the modern celebration of Christmas, it is a tradition to illuminate houses and Christmas trees with lights. In a spiritual sense, lights symbolize Christ as the Light of the World, who declared, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life" (John 8:12). They remind us of God’s presence and the hope and love He provides, echoing the guidance given by the angels and the star. In Coldplay’s song "Fix You," there is a lyric that goes, "Lights will guide you home." Christ, as the Light of the World, can be reflected in this line, and the lyric speaks for itself.

In moments of darkness and confusion, we do not walk alone. In moments of pain and suffering, there is hope that shines. In moments of doubt and fear, there is love that holds us.

No words can suffice God’s love for us. Yet these stories endure, reminding us of how to love and be loved. To love with complete submission, for He loves with guidance. To love with absolute trust, for He loves with assurance. To love with wholehearted obedience, for He loves with faithfulness.

Wala pang sikat ng araw, likod ko’y kuba na–paisa-isang itinatanim ang bawat punla. Umaabot ng tanghaling tapat sa pagyuko, hindi makaupo, hindi makatayo. Kasabay ng aking mga kabaro ang kalabaw na kumakayod. Hindi pa rin mapagtanto kung bakit kalabaw lamang ang pwedeng tumanda’t mapagod kung ang mga braso, baywang, at binti ay namamanhid, nangangawit, at namimintig sa maghapong pagbababad sa trabaho.

Sa bawat patak ng pawis na umaagos sa aking noo, dala-dala ko ang pangarap na ang mga butil ng palay ay magiging sagot sa aming mga pangarap. Sa kabila ng aming pagsisikap at pag-aalaga, ang aming pawis ay tila nauubos sa hangin, walang kapalit.

Nawa’y ngayong Pasko, red-tagging ng gobyerno sa aming magsasaka’y ipinid—ibaling ang tingin, mas bigyang pansin ang aming mga hinaing. “Presyo ng palay, itaas! Presyo ng bigas, ibaba!”, aming iginigiit. Marahil ang lupa ay para sa magsasaka at ang pagkain ay para sa lahat.

Kung hindi man kami dinggin ni Santa, sana kahit mga nakaupo nalang sa konseho. Dahil hindi lang ito para sa aming mga magsasaka, ito ay para rin paigtingin ang lokal na produksyon, hindi importasyon. Kung kaunlaran sa agrikulturang pambansa, datapuwa’t mga aksyong nararapat, sapat, mula sa pamahalaan ang hangad naming mga nasasalat.

Sa bawat tunog ng makina at bawat piraso ng materyales na aking hinuhubog, bitbit ko ang pangarap para sa aking pamilya. Ngunit sa kabila ng aking pagsusumikap, ang bigat ng trabaho ay madalas bumabagsak sa aking katawan, na tila isang awit na nawawalan ng himig sa kawalan ng pahinga at ginhawa.

Hiling ko ngayong Pasko ang pagkakataon na makapagpahinga mula sa init at bigat ng aking gawain. Sana’y maramdaman ko ang malamig na simoy ng hangin, hindi ang amoy ng sunog o alikabok mula sa bakal. Sana rin, ang aking sahod ay maging sapat para sa aking pamilya, upang ang aking pagsisikap ay magdulot ng tunay na ginhawa. Hiling ko din ang mas ligtas na lugar ng trabaho, kung saan hindi ako nangangamba sa aksidenteng maaaring mangyari.

Sana ngayong Pasko, gumaling ang aking mga sugat, mapaubaya ang sakit, at manumbalik ang lakas na naubos sa paggawa. Hinihiling ko na ang aking hinaharap ay maging mas maliwanag, kung saan ang aking hirap ay magbubunga ng kaginhawaan para sa akin at sa aking mga mahal sa buhay. Hangad ko na makita pa ang maraming darating na Pasko, nang may lakas, kasiguraduhan, at masayang kasama ang aking pamilya.

𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀, 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀

The world has growing HOPE to meet the glowing LIGHT. Christmas is not Christmas without the Christmas tree and its lights.

𝙎𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙃𝙤𝙥𝙚

As soon as “ber” months arrive, homes across the world are filled with the sight of Christmas trees—whether freshly cut evergreen or pulled from a storage box. The history of Christmas trees has many roots, ranging from the use of evergreens in ancient Egypt and Rome during the winter solstice to the German traditions of candle-lit trees that made its way to America in the 1800s.

In a world of constant change, the Christmas tree decorated with lights, ornaments, and a star stands as an enduring emblem of tradition. It creates a bridge between past and future as families gather across generations, from our Lolos and Lolas to our Adings and Apos, to decorate, share memories, and celebrate together. That’s why it is often placed in a room where the family gathers the most and enjoys seeing it with all the presents underneath it.

But more than a seasonal centerpiece and beyond tradition, it is a universal symbol of hope, eternal life, and the promise of salvation. It reminds us of God’s eternal gift, as it is believed that after the birth of Jesus, some of the trees shook off their snow, turned green, and didn’t wither. No matter what the season is, we are called to witness God’s love that never fades.

𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖 𝙂𝙡𝙤𝙬

“Kumukuti-kutitap, bumubusi-busilak, ganyan ang indak ng mga bumbilya….” This famous line from Christmas carols truly encapsulates what Christmas lights are for. The custom dates back to the time when the Christmas trees were decorated with candles or when people gathered around fires. In our time, lights can be arranged on anything, may it be on tree trunks, shrubs, walls, ceilings, windows, and the like.

Christmas lights twinkle and shine through our darkest nights, just as Jesus, the true “Light of the World” as He illuminates our lives and enlightens our hearts and minds. His birth at midnight, when it was pitch black, represents the arrival of a new light that promises to guide, protect, and bring peace. This light has overcome the most intense darkness. Indeed, pailaw ni Jesus is the brightest light as all light comes from Him.

These two emblems go well with each other. They make Christmas merrier. And in the midst of the chaos, they remind us, there is always HOPE and LIGHT in the lives of those who choose to follow Him.

Christmas is just around the corner. Let us keep these symbols near and dear to our hearts as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the source of our light and hope. Four days left until we gather to celebrate the greatest gift of all. May let us approach this Christmas with hearts full of gratitude and anticipation. Merry Christmas to all!

Sa bawat pagtilaok ng manok at pagkalat ng sikat ng araw sa daanan, ay siya rin ang hudyat ng aking simula. Habang ang bayan ay unti-unting gumigising mula sa pahinga, naroon na ako sa tabing daan, tulak-tulak ang karitong pinaglumaan. Aking masinsinang inaayos ang samut-sari kong tinda: kendi, yosi, sitsirya, tubig, juice, o ano pang abot-kayang bagay na maaring kailangan ng mga taong dumaraan. Ginagawa ko iyan sa ilalim ng munting payong ng aking kariton, na nagsisilbing panangga ko sa nagbabagang sikat ng araw, o ‘di kaya naman sa tuwing bumubuhos ang luha ng langit. Ang hirap talagang magtinda, hindi lamang panahon ang kalaban, minsan pati ang mamimili. Kailangang habaan ang pasensya sa mga barat na namimili, kulang na nga sa tubo, pilit parin ang pagtawad. Minsan pa nga ay pasimpleng kumupit sa kending nakalatag. Beep, beep! O tatlo pa tatlo pa, aalis na! Iyan ang mga musika ko sa tuwing ako ay nagtitinda, ngunit tila bang wala ng mas maingay pa sa batingaw ng aking mga gunam-gunam. Mga isipin na mas mabigat pa sa karitong tulak ko araw-araw; Mauubos ko kaya ang tinda ko ngayon? Ano kaya ang mabibili kong ulam sa mapagbebentahan ko? Minsan, ang pinaka malala, may mabebenta ba ako ngayon? Pero kahit na ganoon, hindi ako maaaring sumuko dahil sa bawat pagtinda, ay kalansing ng pera, at ang bawat kalansing ay may katumbas na pagkain para sa aking pamilya.

Sana ngayong Pasko, madama naman namin ang kaginhawaan–kahit na sandali lamang, kahit na sa iisang araw lamang. Sana isang araw magising ako na wala ang bigat sa dibdib at isipan, wala na ang takot na madama, na baka isang araw ay mawalan kami ng kakanin. Hindi biro ang ganitong buhay, nakatatakot nakapapagod–laging umasa, mangarap, magdasal na baka isang araw, sapat na. Sana sa Paskong ito, madama naman namin ang tunay na saya sa kapaskuhan, makaranas man lamang ng kaunting ginhawa. Kami sana ay magkaroon ng munting salu-salo sa noche buena; isang kaldero ng sopas o ‘di kaya naman ay isang inihaw na manok, ay isa nang biyaya para sa’min. Higit pa roon, dalangin ko rin na makita ang mga anak ko na masaya, tumatawa, nakangiti habang kami ay nagsasalu-salo.

Sa Paskong ito, ang tanging hiling ko ay mapadama sa’min ang simoy ng Pasko–pagmamahal at pag-asa. Hindi naman kami naghahangad ng magarbong handaan o ng mamahaling regalo. Bagkus, ang tanging hinahanap namin ay isang pagkakataon na maramdaman namin na kami rin ay parte ng pagdiriwang. Sana ngayong Pasko, hindi lamang ang mga Christmas lights ang kumukutitap, hindi lamang ang parol ang nagniningning, sana pati ang puso ay magninging ng pag-asa– munting paalala na sa hirap ng buhay, palaging may dahilan upang tumuloy at para maniwala.

𝗦𝗟𝗨 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀: 𝗔 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝘂𝗿𝗶 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝘀, 𝗙𝗶𝗴𝘃𝗿𝗲𝘀, 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘆𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰

In celebration of 𝗦𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆’𝘀 𝟭𝟭𝟯𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆, the Kataas-taasang Sanggunian ng Mag-aaral/Supreme Student Council (KASAMA/SSC) presents us the campus concert “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝟵.𝟬: 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗼, 𝗣𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗸 (𝗦𝗮’𝘆𝗼)” held at the Fr. Paul Van Parijs Event Center on November 28.

After each band’s performance, a press conference with the student publications, White & Blue, The Buttress, Schema, Stellaris, and Daily Dose—took place at the Diego Silang Building to hear their thoughts and feelings as they faced the Louisian crowd.

First in the lineup is the Baguio-based indie band, 𝘼𝙪𝙧𝙞 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝘾𝙖𝙩𝙨, who sang covers and original songs. With their unique tone and exceptional musicality, they captured the Louisian’s hearts. When asked about what they felt performing in such a big crowd, they said it was hard to believe they were performing in SLU. The band invites Louisians to join their collective called “Sigaw ng Kuwago,” where they perform and enjoy art with other people. An album is set to be released in 2025, the band reveals. Auri and the Conscious Cats thank the Louisian community and Navi for the warm welcome, and for setting a huge milestone for the band.

The 4-member indie band, 𝙁𝙞𝙜𝙫𝙧𝙚𝙨, serenaded the Louisians with their lovelore anthems such as ‘Nandito,’ ‘Himbing,’ ‘Yakap,’ and ‘Ulila.’ Through their lyricism and melodies that span rock, alternative, and pop, the band expressed their emotions and untold stories. Figvres said that they felt heard and known during their performance because of the cheers they received. When asked what song they would dedicate to the Louisians, they answered, “It would be ‘Nandito.’ Why? Kasi this experience may end, pero dadalhin natin ‘tong lahat kahit saan man tayo mapunta after… Dadalhin natin yung experience. Basically, part na kayo ng core memory namin—core memory unlocked.”

𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙘, an indie-alternative band formed in 2012, hyped up the stage with their catchy and enchanting songs ‘Laro’ and ‘Languyin.’ Known for their experiences in the music industry, they reveal the anchor of their relationship as a band—having the ‘gigil’ and their common goal. They said that their similarities keep them together. “Para maging member ka dapat may comorbidity ka. ‘Di, joke lang. Ano sakit mo? Pasok! Hypertension, wala? Ay, ‘di ka p’wede,” they jokingly said. The band hints at releasing more songs in 2025. Autotelic thanks the Louisians for appreciating their music, highlighting that it spans all ages.

To wrap up TLF 9.0: Patungo, Pabalik (Sa’yo), the 4-member alternative folk rock band, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙞𝙙𝙡𝙚𝙮𝙨, filled the campus with heart-stopping melodies that also tell stories. They sang hit songs such as ‘Aphrodite’ and ‘Be With You.’ For the Louisian fans who may be struggling with the challenges of college life, The Ridleys would like to motivate or inspire them to push forward by listening to the album ‘Until I Reach The Sun.’ “It’s an album I wrote and compiled during the pandemic when I was feeling lost. So, it’s actually our least-streamed album, but I think it has the deepest songs, the deep cuts that speak to people at just the right time. I hope that encourages Louisians to really take a deep dive into our 33-song catalog. Especially that album, very personal siya,” the band’s vocalist, Benny Manaligod, said. The Ridleys emphasize sharing the story of love to those who need it.

Auri and the Conscious Cats, Figvres, Autotelic, and The Ridleys have seen how music brings people together, and they showed how well they resonate with the community through their music. With that, they invite the Louisians to let music be their companion during the ups and downs of life. The guest performers express their gratitude to the Louisian community for giving support and love for them.
