To acknowledge their official responsibilities and commence their duties at their respective positions, the newly elected college and department officers of MSU-TCTO formally assumed their posts during an oath-taking ceremony last January 20, 2025, at Maas Kamlon Hall.

The ceremony began with a welcome address by the Supreme Student Council (SSC) President, Mr. Edriane Shane M. Casipong, who underscored the SSC’s service to the student body by presenting the council’s accomplishments and initiatives. He pointed out the role and significance of the student government in representing the interest of the student body, while also urging his fellow student leaders to continue to serve the students with dedication, competence, passion, integrity, and accountability. “Leadership is not about the position we hold; it is about the service we provide,” he shared.

In his inspirational message, Assoc. Prof. Alcyn R. Bakkang, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, highlighted the behind-the-scenes challenges of the student leaders in fulfilling their roles. He expressed heartfelt gratitude for their efforts, commitment, and sincerity in assisting the school’s administration in ensuring the effective operation of the institution.

He also offered pieces of advice, telling student officers to uphold the constitutions and by-laws of their respective organizations and reminding them not to lose track of their studies.

Assoc. Prof. Regimar A. Rasid, Director of Student Relations, delivered a message of encouragement by urging student leaders to persevere as voices for the student body despite the challenges of student leadership.

“True leaders are not defined by their comfort zones but by their abilities to rise above challenges,” he said. He further inspired them to become student representatives who create positive impact and bring about change through their dedicated service, integrity, humility, enthusiasm, and purpose.

The highlight of the event was the official oath-taking ceremony officiated by Assoc. Prof. Alcyn R. Bakkang. Each officer pledged to faithfully discharge their duties and responsibilities, uphold and enforce the Constitution and By-laws, and perform their roles with integrity, honesty, and dedication.

The event concluded with a message from the MSU-TCTO SSC Vice President, Ms. Merfat A. Sali, who reminded the student leaders to work hand in hand with the university constituents, emphasizing the importance of collaboration towards success.

On this day, December 30, 2024, marks the 128th death anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal's martyrdom, also known as "Rizal Day".

He who wrote the novels 𝘕𝘰𝘭𝘪 𝘔𝘦 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘦 and 𝘌𝘭 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘮𝘰 became instrumental for the Filipinos to revolutionize against the reigns of the Spanish in the Philippines during the Colonial Period. Through his powerful writings, he ignited a sense of national identity and the desire for freedom.

And because of his many sacrifices — his happiness, his future, and ultimately his life, Rizal became the most celebrated figure in the Philippines. His life and legacy are taught to every Filipino student, and his name is known and honored by all. He is truly 𝘈𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘪 𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘴.

KAWASA, the official student publication of MSU-TCTO, joins the nation in observing this significant day. Let us reflect on his profound words and strive to emulate his ideals of patriotism, perseverance, and integrity.

MSU Tawi-Tawi's KAWASA recently took the leap to partake in the prestigious 62nd National Rizal Youth Leadership Institute (NRLYLI) held from December 5-8, 2024, at the Teachers Camp, Baguio City. KAWASA was represented by its Editor-in-Chief Ahmed Hisham R. Dayan, Associate Editor Aldammien A. Sukarno, alongside the publication's coordinator, Kilin R. Salabi.

Inaugurated in 1961, the NRYLI is a youth leadership program organized by the Knights of Rizal, aiming to provide avenues for professional and character development among youth leaders. This year's institute themed “Rizalian LeaderSHIFT," brought together over seven hundred participants from different private and state colleges and universities. It featured dynamic leadership sessions and Rizal lessons from established speakers, concurrent with different academic and literary contests.

Notably, the KAWASA delegation, journeying from the southernmost tip of the Philippines to the northern region, was recognized with the Farthest Delegation Award—a testament to the publication's continuing commitment to growth and leadership despite the geographical challenges.

This stint towards NRYLI marks an important step in the publication’s mission to continuously advance skills for better service to the student body. The experience inspired the team to return with new insights and ideas, ready to lead and serve with a renewed sense of purpose and determination.
