When things take a turn for the worst, we become troubled, questioning the very essence of the universe and trying to make sense out of an estranged world. As trying times extend their stay, we fumble and forget; a broken-down car does not spin its wheels magically, so we keep walking down the bumpy road sad and confused, until our own wheels fall off.

But Forrest? He begs to differ. He dares to RUN. Most find it a bizarre engagement, naturally, as most people search for their place, settle, and rest. Forrest keeps running. Why? He’d tell you the answer is simple, really—he just felt like it.

Faculty and staff of the School of Accountancy, Management, Computing, and Information Studies (SAMCIS), along with campus guards and McKleene personnel, celebrated their annual Christmas Party yesterday, December 10 at the Devesse Plaza.

“The message of Christmas is not (centered around) too much gift-giving, but our message for this Christmas is to have forgiveness, hope, and love in our hearts. We are blessed and have so much to be thankful for—our school, family, faculty, personnel—marami tayong puwedeng ipagpasalamat,” opened SAMCIS Dean Glory Dela Peña, highlighting the party's thanksgiving theme along with the SAMCIS Christmas Tree, ornate with heartfelt notes of gratitude from students to their teachers.

Dean Dela Peña also explained that the theme drew inspiration from the “familial atmosphere of Pamilya Teknokomersyo” and sought to recognize and give back to the teaching and non-teaching staff for their dedication, commitment, and hard work. “It’s about time to have a get-together, one that ends the year with so much gratitude,” she remarked.

As part of the Christmas party’s focus on promoting the mental health of SAMCIS staff through stress-relief, the SAMCIS Dean also hinted at an upcoming Staff Wellness Program in 2025. This initiative will include Zumba and exercise sessions at the Desmedt Oval, aimed at fostering the mental well-being of both SAMCIS faculty and non-teaching staff.

After a lively Christmas performance by the SAMCIS Dance Troupe, the festivities continued with parlor games, including a lively round of Trip to Jerusalem, where SAMCIS guard Jester emerged victorious. “Masaya at maganda kasi ngayon lang ‘yong ganitong Christmas program at bonding,” he shared.

“Relaxing,” Accountancy professor Noreen Lab-as described the event. “Kasi after the past two weeks na masyadong hectic at masyadong busy, at least nakakapag-relax kami kahit two or three hours lang.”

The celebration also featured competitive Karaoke sessions, with Mr. Joshua Peregrino from McKleene claiming the top spot. The first runner-up was Mr. Carl Carranza from the Marketing Department, while the second runner-up was Mr. Lee Basinga from the Business Administration and Entrepreneurship Department.

Bearing a “no work and academic discussions” rule, the year-end party was hosted to provide the SAMCIS staff a relaxing and merry night after a trying year.

𝗔 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻🌙

𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂,
You’re crying again. This time, I don’t know why. I remember the days when you would always talk to me. You would always describe how your day went with a smile. And it would always be about going out with your friends, your academic achievements, and the proud look your parents gave. Now, I can only see you through the window— lips formed in a thin line, eyes welled up… a star that has lost its shine. You would sit for hours with towering papers and books, then ask yourself the next night, “I wasn’t like this before. What happened to me?”

It was an endless cycle.

I hope you won’t let these struggles define you. You were trying day and night— I knew, because even the Sun had told me so. But I hope you remember that dreams can only happen when you also rest. Don’t focus on the clock’s constant ticking— it was only meant to tell when it’s time. So, cry and let it all out, my little one. After all, Stars aren’t defined by how they shine.

Sincerely Yours,
𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒐𝒏

On December 8, the Philippines pays tribute to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the nation's beloved patroness, through the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Recognized as a nationwide non-working holiday under Republic Act No. 10966, this day highlights the deep spiritual traditions of Filipino Catholics.

This celebration calls us to honor the Blessed Virgin’s steadfast faith and her sacrifices for Christ, inspiring us to strengthen our own devotion.

May this occasion remind us of the enduring role of faith in our lives and the unity it brings to countless Filipinos.

This year, the observance of the feast is transferred from the 8th of December to the 9th, giving way for the celebration of the second Sunday of Advent, which falls on the former.

Magni Soni SAMCIS (MSS) brought the beat back as they performed their concert entitled “High School Mixtape: The Alumni Homecoming,” mesmerizing the audience and transforming the experience into a haven of rhythm and memories, last December 5 at the Devesse Audio Visual Room (AVR).

The play follows the story of Apollo, a high school student experiencing first love and eventual heartbreak with Alice, whom he deeply admires. Headlined by the different bands of MSS, the musical play was a nostalgic playback to the High School hits that showcased the feelings of the young Apollo.

MSS showcased their signature blend of raw talents, charismatic stage presence, and electrifying music. Joining them was an established guest band, Preza, whose fresh sound added a vibrant layer to the dynamic lineup.Though short lived, the event was more than just a celebration of music but a celebration of shared feelings and memories the audience once had in their high school days.

Despite the concert being moved due to the earthquake last November 26, 2024, MSS delivered a more refined show with pure entertainment, ensuring every note and lyric captured the audience’s collective experiences.
Preza complementing the show’s energy resulted in an excellent manifestation of the power of Music that comes across generations. “High School Mixtape” solidified itself as a defining moment in the SAMCIS culture of cultivating artistic excellence among its students.

The Saint Louis University Department of Accountancy, with the Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants - SLU Chapter, sponsored the bi-annual pre-board mass for the Louisian takers of the three-day Licensure Examination for Certified Public Accountants (LECPA) at the Saint Aloysius de Gonzaga Chapel today, December 3.

The mass was led by Rev. Fr. John Salama who uplifted the spirits of examinees who felt the pressure of the December 2024 LECPA–reminding them to entrust to the Almighty their efforts, perseverance, and diligence to pursue their utmost aspirations for the success of the examination.

The original October 2024 LECPA was rescheduled by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to December 6, 7, and 8 due to Tropical Storm Kristine.

Once again, Saint Louis University (SLU) proved why it is heralded as the "Light of the North," as the 16th Annual Lantern Parade illuminated the streets of Baguio City on December 1, 2024 to welcome the Christmas Season. The theme, "Missio et Excellentia: Championing Sustainability, Promoting Inclusive Education, Pioneering Innovation," transformed the city into a vibrant celebration of global unity, innovation, and Christmas spirit.

A Night to Remember
A dazzling display of lights, music, and cultural celebration captivated the City of Pines. The University of Baguio (UB) Voices, the SLU Marching Band, and the University of the Cordilleras (UC) Dance Company immersed the crowd with performances brimming with holiday cheer before the tree lit up the city. The festivities commenced with the ceremonial Christmas Tree lighting at Upper Session Road—setting a joyful and celebratory tone for the evening.

The highly anticipated Lantern Parade then followed, as thousands of participants and spectators lined the streets of Session Road. The SLU Marching Band led the procession with rousing music, followed by public officials, including Mayor Benjamin Magalong, SLU administrators, alumni, and representatives from SLU's various schools and departments.

Lanterns Across Borders
This year's theme, "Christmas Festivities Around the World," saw each group creatively representing a different country. While SLU Administration and SLU School of Advanced Studies showcased the Philippines and Japan as non-competing entries, the competition featured breathtaking representations of Norway (School of Law), Austria (School of Teacher Education and Liberal Arts), Iceland (School of Nursing, Allied Health, and Biological Sciences), the United Kingdom (School of Medicine), the Netherlands (School of Engineering and Architecture), Vatican City (School of Accountancy, Management, Computing, and Information Studies), and Venezuela (Basic Education School).

The parade culminated at the Melvin Jones Grandstand, where the field competition occurred. Each entry performed meticulously choreographed presentations that showcased their chosen country's culture while embodying SLU's values of sustainability and innovation.

Those Who Shone Brightest

The Basic Education School (BEdS) emerged as the grand champion with its vibrant representation of Venezuela, wowing the judges with their creativity and innovation. They also swept several notable awards, including Champion: Best in Field Performance, 2nd Runner-Up: Best Street Performance, Eco-Lantern Innovation Award, and Rhythmic Accompaniment.

The School of Nursing, Allied Health, and Biological Sciences (SONAHBS) secured the first runner-up title while also dominating the special awards, including Champion: Best in Street Performance, 1st Runner-up: Best in Field Performance, Most Colorful Award, Most Disciplined Group, Best in Illumination, and Most Colorful Award.

The School of Medicine clinched the second runner-up spot with their elegant presentation of the United Kingdom. With its United Kingdom-inspired presentation, the School of Medicine (SOM) secured third place in the field and street categories.

Indeed, the 16th Annual Lantern Parade proved that SLU continues to be a beacon of excellence, illuminating the way forward for sustainability, education, and innovation. As the lights of the lanterns dimmed and the applause echoed through the Melvin Jones Grandstand, the spirit of Christmas and SLU's legacy of brilliance burned brighter than ever.

Inside the halls of the Center for Culture and Arts (CCA) Theater, the songs of mission and faith echo, filling the air with a profound sense of purpose.

Presented by the talented CCA groups—the SLU Dance Troupe, Tanghalang SLU, SLU Concert Orchestra, and the SLU Symphonic Band—the audience was treated to an afternoon of awe, woe, and hope.

“Seed in the Furrows” is a special tribute performance highlighting the missionary life of Msgr. Ferdinandus Hubertus Hamer, CICM, against the backdrop of the anti-Christian Boxer Rebellion in China.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱

Balancing the raw power of song, climactic dance sequences and emotional depth of drama, the performance illuminated the unwavering bravery of each CICM priest and missionary; underscoring how each sacrifice was not in vain, but a testament to their great dedication to the service and unshakable faith in their mission.

Amidst the looming threat of the Boxers, Msgr. Hamer did not hesitate when an injured rebel was placed before him, despite protests from those around him. His firm belief in God’s plan guided his every action, even as he ordered for the departure of the missionaries, leaving him in the village awaiting whatever may come next.

𝗔 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻

As Msgr. Hamer’s journey comes to an end, he plants a seed for the new Christians—each missionary’s death in service to the mission becomes a seed sown in the furrows, a legacy to be remembered.

As witnesses of the light, we, the audience, are called to carry it on forward, practicing our faith fearlessly and planting our own seeds of hope.

Saint Louis University (SLU) celebrated its 113th University Foundation Week this November 28 with the lighting of the university Christmas tree and an unforgettable concert that featured both local and national artists.

Spearheaded by SLU President Rev. Fr. Gilbert B. Sales, CICM, PhD, the celebration gathered Louisians to witness the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony sponsored by Engr. Mark Joseph Lacambra of MJLAC Construction and Aggregates. The Christmas Tree was said to symbolize the sentiment that “everything will be fine despite the challenges in life,” and was blessed by Rev. Fr. Emery Mwako, CICM.

Following a fireworks display, the highly anticipated concert themed, “The Louisian Feels (TLF) 9.0: Patungo, Pabalik (Sayo)” immediately followed. Baguio-based indie band Auri and the Conscious Cats kicked off the concert, followed by rock band Figvres, indie alternative rock band Autotelic, and concluded with this year’s headliner, indie alternative folk band The Ridleys, who performed their love-longing songs such as their hit single, Aphrodite.

The concert proved to be a milestone for many of the participating bands, showcasing talent and drawing a large crowd.

“It definitely felt like one of the biggest things that we did. Grabe, (ang) daming tao. We’ve reached a point na kinaya ang ibang bands, although at the same level, it's a start.” shared a member of the opening band, Auri and the Conscious Cats. “For me hirap pa rin ang malaking crowd, it's a huge milestone.”

A member of the band Figvres also highlighted the heartwarming reception of the Louisian audience. “Our favorite part was when everyone started singing and cheering with us. We’re not really that popular of a band, but that feeling hits hard—knowing that people recognize us now.”

Meanwhile, the songwriter of Figvres reflected on their creative process when asked about their inspiration. “I often write about everyday life and the common experiences we all go through. I like using metaphors because, as a songwriter, I don’t want to be too straightforward. I want listeners to imagine and interpret the songs in their own way.”

The Ridleys, the event's final performers, also shared insights into their artistic influences– modern and classic music.

“Jason Mraz because of his songwriting and the way he radios his music, the way he collaborates with people. It’s such a positive energy that you get from all his songs, all his albums.,” shared one member.

Another mentioned, “Ako medyo old man ‘to, Eagles. Kasi I grew up listening to them, playlist ng dad ko ‘yon. So parang hanggang ngayon pinapakinggan ko pa rin and may mga napupulot akong details na puwedeng ma-apply sa band or something. Hanggang ngayon may influence pa rin siya sa tugtog ko.”

In the heart of November, a hero was born:
A spark that ignited a nation forlorn.
He lifted the hopes of the weary and worn,
Uniting the people, new courage by morn.

Screams of passion rang out as cedulas were torn.
Filled with conviction, the room brimmed with hope.
Hearts beating as one, they rose to oppose,
As history unfolded, revolution arose.

Today, his legacy lives through,
In the freedom we cherish, in all that we do.
His courage inspires each heart to be brave,
To follow our dreams towards the future we crave.

His story embedded in the soul of our nation,
Andres Bonifacio, the father of Philippine revolution.
In the heart of November, we honor his name
For the freedom we bask in and the rights we proclaim.
