The Blazon

The Blazon The Blazon is the official student publication of Bataan National High School - Junior High School in the English medium.

The Blazon is the official student publication of Bataan National High School - Junior High School (BNHS-JHS) in the English medium. Ever since the dissolution of the school's previous student publication, "The Bataan" which led to the formation of the publication and its Filipino counterpart, "Ang Banaag", The Blazon has rigorously continued to serve the Arellanista and the youth of the society b

eyond the campus walls. Despite the present challenges to independent and free journalism, the publication's editorial board and its members of the academe that serve under the common objective of the publication continue the fight for the deliverance of integrity and critical journalism to the Arellanista, serving as their mouthpiece for dissent and concern as well as a tool for the defense of democracy within the campus and beyond. The Blazon presses onward in its role of stepping outside and questioning the norms and set conventions to fulfill its pledge: To redefine campus journalism, and create great stories.

To educate Arellanistas about the proper usage of social media, BNHS-JHS Counselling and Testing Center conducted an activity with the theme Digital Responsibility: Navigating Cyberbullying and Practicing Proper Online Etiquette at the Audio-Visual Room (AVR), December 4.

"Para sana unti-unting maging responsable ang buong community ng arellano o BNHS sa paggamit ng teknolohiya kasi yung mga edad ninyo halos nauubos ang oras sa paggamit ng cellphone kaya kapag naging responsable kayo sa paggamit, hindi ito makakapagbigay ng harm sa sarili at sa ibang tao," Mary Jane S. Sabino, Guidance Counselor III said.

Moreover, the 1st batch of the activity was held on October 15, and the 2nd batch was held last November. Meanwhile, the 4th batch is scheduled to take place at the AVR tomorrow.

To empower young minds about the importance of gender responsive laws, BNHS-JHS's MAPEH Department conducted the Sexuality Positivity, Education, Advocacy and Knowledge (SPEAK) Symposium for Grade 8 students today, November 18, Tet Garcia Auditorium.

With the goal of spreading awareness, resource speaker Atty. Jess Stanley A. Avila highlighted two laws, the Violence against Women and their Children (VAWC) and the Safe Spaces Act or the Bawal Bastos Law.

"Kapag kayo ay may kaalaman sa batas na VAWC, kaya niyong magbigay ng suporta. At sa pamamagitan ng suporta, maaari kayong makapag-ulat ng karahasan," said Avila.

In collaboration with the Bataeรฑos Provincial Association of the Deaf, Bataan National High School-Junior High School and Senior High School held a symposium at the BNHS-JHS Auditorium with the theme 'Beyond Silence' in celebration for the Deaf Awareness Week 2025, November 12.

It aims to spread awareness to Grade 7 to 12 students by encouraging them to create a supportive environment for all and inclusivity for the deaf community .

"My hope is for everybody to realize that education is our right, your right, it's not a privilege, and mapractice natin yung inclusivity. We are talking about beyond silence, which means acceptance, understanding, and for that, meron tayong empowerment. So, beyond silence sa kanila is not really silence, but it's empowerment, that's their dream, that's their communication, and that's their love." said Resource Speaker, Chef Marilyn "Len" Peรฑaflor.

Did you feel the spooky vibes? ๐Ÿ‘ป๐ŸŽƒ

For the first time in BNHS history, Arellanista students and faculty dressed up to contribute to the wicked spirit in Halloween Fest 2025 yesterday, October 24.

Arellanistas did not miss out on Trick-or-Treating around the campus as teachers prepared treats for those who joined in the spooky celebration.

Among the programs were Trick-or-Treat Basket Making Contest, Dance Showdown, and Costume Competition.

"Since Halloween is an adopted Western culture, naisip ko na how would I make this close to home? So ayun yung naging inspo kaya manananggal," said Adria Rizzi Diwa, Champion of the Costume Competition.

LOUISE, Champion of Battle of The Bands in the Intramurals 2025, and Kaloy Band, uprising talent in Bataan, also brought the crowd to scream with high energy as they perform hit songs like Multo and Walang Alam, with the fireworks ongoing.

Congratulations, Arellanista!

Proving that Arellanistas are truly attested achievers, Auvrianne Mamitag of STE 10-Copernicus bagged two medals in the National Round of the 2025 Philippine International Mathematics and Science Olympics (PIMSO), a Gold Medal in Mathematics and a Silver Medal in Science.

"When I start to feel tired, I make sure to give myself time for personal hobbies para makapagrefresh and avoid burnout," shared the two-medal achiever on how she balanced hard work with self care.

Guided by her teacher coaches Cherrie Bantay and Gian Prades, Mamitag noted that the key step in achieving this success was doing hardcore reviews through practicing with worksheets, especially when dealing with complex concepts.
