Isa sa mga proud moments ko sa buhay ay iyong mapuntahan ang pansamantalang office ng ESO sa may rooftop nang hindi hinihingal at hindi pinagpapawisan.

Iyon ay noong bago ko pa maengkwentro ang
weird part ng storya sa mismong room malapit sa rooftop.

Alas siete na nang gabi nang akyatin ko ang office namin para sana hanapin ang ESO ID kong maghapon nang nawawala. Dahil last day naman na ng Studentsโ€™ Days at simula na rin ng Hydrofest, nagpasya akong takbuhin ang tatlong palapag ng building papuntang office na tanging tibay ng loob at katiting na tapang ang dala.

Hindi pa noon sarado ang gate kayaโ€™t laking pasalamat ko nang makapasok pa ako sa mismong building.

Habang tinatahak ang daan paakyat ay hindi ko napansing unti-unting bumabagal ang aking bawat pagyapak.

Biglang lumamig kahit na wala namang hangin.

At kung anong gaan ng aking paghinga ay siyang bigat naman ng aking pakiramdam โ€”bagay na hindi pangkaraniwan at hindi panandalian.

Tinuloy ko ang paghakbang sa mga natitira pang step ng hagdan at tumigil sa may harap ng pinto.

Pagbukas ko ng pinto ay agad ko rin binuksan ang ilaw.
Maraming papel ang nakakalat.
Hindi rin ganoon kaayos ang mga bangko.

Inilibot ko ang aking mata sa kabuuan ng office. Tanging ito lamang ang maliwanag dahil kahit mismong rooftop ay walang ilaw.

Binuksan ko ang bintana para sana silipin kung ano ang itsura ng hagdan kapag gabi pero agad din isinara nang makitang sobrang dilim nito.

Pakiramdam ko tuloy ay may kung anong nakatingin sa akin doon. Para bang nakangiti na hindi.

Pero alam kong imposible iyon dahil wala naman nang ibang estudyante dito kun โ€™di ako lang.

Hinalughog ko ang buong office mahanap lang ang ID. Sa drawer, sa ilalim ng table at sa mga gilid-gilid. Maging sa bunton ng mga papel na nakalagay sa mesa ay inisa-isa ko na rin.

Ngunit, bigo akong mahanap ang ESO ID ko.
Hindi ko na alam kung saang lupalop ko pa pwedeng hanapin iyon. Nagsisimula na rin akong makaramdam ng inis pero agad din โ€™yong napalitan ng takot nang bigla akong makarinig ng kaluskos malapit sa pinto.

Hindi ko maipaliwanang nang buo ang tunog at hindi ko rin alam kung anong pinagmulan nito.

Pero sa isang bagay lang ako nakasisiguro.

Hindi ako umimik. Hinayaan ko lamang pumasok ang kung sino mang lumikha ng ingay na iyon.

Dahil nakatungo ako, sapatos lamang niya ang kita sa peripheral vision ko. Hindi ko magawang iangat ang mga mata ko. Napakalakas nang kabog ng dibdib ko at ang nasa isip ko na lamang ay ang makaalis na sa puwesto ko.

Pero hindi kaya ng katawan kong gumalaw.

Hinintay ko siyang magsalita ngunit nasa ganoong puwesto pa rin siya.

Doon na ako naglakas-loob na tignan siya.

Kitang-kita ko kung paano niya ako titigan sa ilalim ng walang emosyon niyang mata.

Matangkad na lalaki, maayos ang pagkakahawi ng buhok at nakasuot ng dating uniporme ng campus. May hawak na bolpen sa kanang kamayโ€”hindi normal kun โ€™di estilong pasaksak ang pagkakahawak nito roon.

โ€œAno po โ€™yon?โ€ tanong ko.

Isang sagot naman sa kaniya ang natanggap ko.

โ€œMagpapa-biometrics.โ€

Sa lamig ng kaniyang boses, tanging kurap na lamang ang naging reaksyon ko sa isinagot niya.

Isa pang ipinagtataka ko ay sinong magpapa-biometrics nang last day of studentsโ€™ days? Na dapat ay noon pa lang ay ginawa na niya bago pa sumapit ang event?

โ€œAno pong program at section?โ€ tanong ko habang inihahanda ang biometrics.

Hindi siya sumagot.

Binalik ko sa kaniya ang tingin ko.

Wala siyang kibo, basta lamang nakatayo.

โ€œAno pong program at section?โ€ pag-uulit ko.

โ€œโ€™Wag na pala.โ€

Sabay talikod deretso labas ng pinto.

Nang oras din โ€™yon ay buong lakas kong sinilip ang labas ng pinto, hinintay ko rin marinig ang mga yabag pababa ngunit ni-katiting na ingay ay wala.

Hindi ko alam kung paano ko nagawang bumaba nang hindi nahihimatay matapos ang pangyayaring iyon.

Hindi ko rin alam kung tunay bang nangyari iyon o pagod lamang ako?

Pero malinaw sa akin ang kaniyang itsura.
Hindi ko siya kilala at lalong hindi ko siya nakikita sa campus.
Pero ang mga titig na โ€™yon ang nakapagpalamig sa akin.

November comes with the flicker of candlelight, silent footsteps in cemeteries, and soft whispers of names we will never forget. This is one day when memories again seem to live with us, walking together in the soft glow of the evening sky.

All Souls' Day is not just a tradition; it is one journey back to the people who once held our hands, guided our hopes, and filled our lives with laughter. As families gathered around tombstones adorned with flowers and prayers, we are reminded that bereavement is never over because love never truly disappears.

This remembrance becomes more significant to the youth of today. In this rush of modern life, we often forget that one needs to pause and cherish the moments that will someday become our most precious memories. This day teaches us to look back with gratitude and move forward with purpose, carrying the lessons our loved ones left behind.

We remember them
not through tears alone,
but through the way we live the life they once dreamed for us.

Behind every candle lies a story of courage, sacrifice, and unconditional love. And as night deepens but the flames keep burning, we celebrate their being not as a part of our past, but an enduring presence in our hearts. Because love, even in silence, has a way of staying. And some goodbyes are never truly endings.

In a world that moves too fast and demands too much, silence often becomes the only space left to breathe. Between deadlines, expectations, and the constant pressure to keep up, there comes a time when the noise of everything else fades and the only voice left is your own.

Itโ€™s easy to get lost in the chaos. Society rewards those people who never stop moving, who appear fine no matter how heavy the load gets. We celebrate resilience but forget recovery. We talk about balance but live in exhaustion. In the drive to accommodate every need, mental health often falls between the cracks.

Taking care of the mind is rarely attractive. It doesnโ€™t always look like self-care routines or perfect mornings. Sometimes itโ€™s choosing to rest instead of overworking, to eat even when you have no appetite, or to step back when everything tells you to keep pushing. Itโ€™s the quiet, unseen work of survival, of choosing to exist gently in a world that often isnโ€™t.

To be there for yourself is not selfish, itโ€™s necessary. It is realizing that no matter how much support the world offers, there will be times when only you can pull yourself back from the edge. To stand alone and still feel whole is one of the strongest things a person can do.

Mental health is not measured by constant strength but by the willingness to pause, to acknowledge pain, and to heal without shame. Sometimes the bravest thing is not to endure but to stop, to listen, and to care.

And perhaps, when all the noise fades and the deadlines pass, what remains is the quiet companionship we build within ourselves. That steady, unwavering voice that says, โ€œ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถโ€™๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ข๐˜ณ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถโ€™๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต.โ€

In the end, that voice is not loneliness. It is proof of resilience. It is the sound of someone learning, slowly and quietly, to become their own comfort.

Every move on the chessboard tells a story of patience, focus, and quiet determination. For Toche Quijano, a fourth-year electrical engineering student at Marinduque State University, chess has been more than just a game. It has been a journey of passion, perseverance, and faith.

He started playing chess back in Grade 7, not knowing it would soon become a lifelong passion. He quickly grew eager to improve. By Grade 10, he was already the strongest player in his school, earning the chance to represent his alma mater in the Municipal Meet and later the Provincial Meet. Though he only brought home a bronze and missed MIMAROPA qualification, that defeat became his greatest motivation.

Balancing academics and chess havenโ€™t been easy, but with the support of his classmates and faith in God, he always finds a way to catch up.

โ€œOverall, my chess journey is full of excitement, happiness, and also disappointing moments. I found a lot of friends because of chess and learned lessons I can apply not just over the board but in everyday life โ€” to think and make better decisions,โ€ he said.

True to his word, he continued his chess journey in college, winning gold for his program in the intramurals and later claiming titles such as the 1st Governorโ€™s Cup (2020) and the Marinduque Chess Association Blitz Tour (2025).

During STRASUC 2024, his skill and endurance were put to the test. Playing on Board 1, he faced nine tough opponentsโ€”winning two, drawing two, and finishing 6th overall. His best match was against UPLB, where his sacrifices led to a checkmate. Though he had missed opportunities in some games, each one taught him a valuable lesson.

Despite the challenges, he found strength in his coach and teammates, who kept cheering and supporting one another throughout the tournament.

Now, as STRASUC 2025 draws nearโ€”set to be hosted at MarSUโ€”his determination burns stronger than ever. โ€˜This is my last year as a student-athlete, so I really want to win a medal for our school,โ€™ he said. He has been training on his own, playing online, studying chess books, and practicing with some of the top players here in Marinduque.

For him, STRASUC 2025 is more than just another tournamentโ€”itโ€™s a chance to defend MarSUโ€™s pride and showcase the heart of a true champion. As hosts, he and his teammates are determined to give visitors great games and lasting memories.

On and off the board, his story is a reminder that victory is not just about medals; itโ€™s about faith, hard work, and the courage to keep playing, one move at a time.
