𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: Long queues of city scholars across all departments flock at the College offices on December 18 for the semestral clearance signing, resulting in early cut of lines.

“Nakaka-inis, nakaka-dismaya, nakaka-lungkot, halo-halong emosyon po ang naramdaman ko. Nakakahiya naman po sa mga students na pumunta ng maaga para matapos po yung clearance signing tapos ganon lang po ang mangyayari mauuwi lang po sa wala,” Jocelyn Quitallas 1st year BS Psychology said after falling in line and learning about the cut off.

It was around 12 noon when Prof. Arman Navarro, OSA Director, instructed the academic organizations to halt the lines and provide schedules per department on the following days.

Offices were on hold from receiving student visits for clearance signing; however, some offices still accepted students to accommodate students’ still on line until 4pm.

“As a health officer, I need to monitor everyone's well being kaya nag cut off muna...then we posted the schedule for you to follow,” College Nurse Aileen Grace Herbosa from the CCC Health Services Office, one of the offices processing clearance signing, explained on the cut off of their office.

Director of Guidance, Counseling, Testing, and Career Development Office Prof. Michael Jade Wania also stated, “Health issues, health concerns, kasi mainit sa taas, baka mahilo, overcrowded, hindi na malaman kung saan dadalhin ang tao, so after po namin ma-determine kung bakit ganon ang nangyari, pina-hold na po namin (offices),” he explained.

“...na-overwhelm lahat, to the point na [ni-pause] na muna yung clearance signing because overwhelmed daw ang mga offices sa dami ng estudyante na nagpapapirma, which is dapat na inisip nila na possible na mangyari yun kasi imbis na departamental ang signing, eh ginawa nilang open for all,” James Paulo Mariñas, 3rd year BSED-English shared his sentiments on the process.

According to Office of Student Affairs Director Prof. Arman Navarro, “hindi natin in-expect na ganun yung magiging volume, magiging pila.”

At around 3 p.m. of December 18, OSA and Office of the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs (AVPAA) released a joint announcement on the new schedule of semestral clearance signing which was divided per department on December 19, 20, 23, 26, and 27.

Official announcement is still on progress to confirm the approval of the offices in accommodating students during Christmas break.

𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: City scholars raised concerns on the formal dissemination of information about the reinstatement of clearance signing, saying they were notified only a week before.

Following the announcement of the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) last December 13, clearance signing will be held from December 16 to 21, coinciding with the final term examination for the first semester.

OSA Director Prof. Arman Navarro in an interview, “Nagbaba tayo ng Memorandum with all academic organizations for them to disseminate the information for the students to expect that at the end of the semester, there will be a semestral clearance signing,” saying that the memorandum was already released on September 6.

FELTA President Jamaica Banaticla shared their organization's response upon the release of the memorandum, “Since that day ay wala pa naman pong clear and concrete plans para sa clearance signing hindi po muna kami nag-announce [agad] sa aming mga members.”

“Wala pa naman pong naging go signal [din] upang ibaba ito at para maiwasan na rin ang panic and confusion sa kanila,” Banaticla added that they did not inform their members immediately about the memorandum due to lack of info about the signing process.

According to other academic organizations, they announced the clearance signing during the departmental orientation, prior to the start of the semester, “In all honesty, hindi ko matandaan if nakapagbaba kami ng memo…about sa clearance signing however, I am sure na sinabi namin na may clearance signing na mangyayari and we explained it in our assembly,” Christian Nichole Ocampo, CSS President explained.

The process of the clearance coinciding with the final term exam gathered negative reactions from students, “Ang hirap kase pinagsasabay nila exam at signing [paano] na lang yung ibang walang matagal na vacant at yung oras na yun is sana ilalaan nalang nila sa lunch pero di nila magawa kase nga nagpapa clearance sila. and mahirap den kase andaming mga students di malaman kung anong una nila gagawen,” Lei Angela Blanco, 2nd year BSED-Science student said.

Prof. Navarro defended, “Actually hindi naman talaga dapat siya sasabay sa exam week, nangyari lang na yung first semester ay na-congest dahil sa mga walang pasok, tapos three weeks na lang yung finals week–hindi talaga siya dapat magko-coincide with the exam week,” saying they cannot have activities beyond the end of the semester hence the process coinciding with the examination week.

“We will try to make it smoother [in] the second semester. Ibibigay na natin yung week before exam week sana, iko-consult ko pa sa AVPAA yung ating clearance signing para hindi siya sumabay sa exam week ng mga estudyante,” Prof. Navarro added.

𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: Last September 6, 2024, the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) released Memorandum No. 2, announcing the reinstatement of ‘clearance signing for all lower year students.’

“The reason behind...for having the clearance signing is…because of the request, the consensus request of all the advisers of all the academic organizations,” Prof. Arman Navarro, OSA Director said.

According to Prof. Navarro, the clearance signing for lower years was already implemented before and was stopped during the pandemic, “So it's already time na i-impose ulit yung clearance signing para...kasi may mga event yung [academic] organizations na hindi pinupuntahan, nababalewala,” he added.

“The clearance signing helps increase the participation for our organizational activities. May mga instances kasi na nasasayang yung efforts for the preparation and planning of events [y]ung konti lang ang nagpa-participate dito,” Allen Camata, President of JPIA-CCC Chapter from the Department of Business and Accountancy shared how the reinstatement benefited their organization.

As stated in the memorandum, academic organizations were tasked to monitor students’ attendance to their major events such as seminars, recognition, outreach programs, and other related activities to serve as ‘one of the requirements for their clearance to be signed.’

Students shared their thoughts on having required activities for clearance signing, “One of the events na na-announce sa amin is yung Research Seminar, wherein required kami to attend that kasi major event nga siya, and since 3rd year kami, nearing na kami sa thesis era namin, and I can say na beneficial siya sa amin…” James Paulo Mariñas, 3rd year BSED-English commented on having required attendance for organizational events.

Prof. Navarro said that the clearance signing ‘will continue by the coming semesters.’

𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: Lantern Festival was celebrated for the second time featuring the crafts and designs of the organizations under Council of Student Leaders (CSL) compared to last year that was given to freshmen and sophomores as requirements for National Service Training Program (NSTP), December 10.

“Proposal ko yun, yung sinuggest ko kay Doc Gon, magiging institutionalized na ito, kumbaga hindi lang ito for first and second years kasi ano siya, malaking event siya [lantern festival]. Kumbaga dapat involved lahat,” Prof. Ivan Opeña, NSTP Coordinator, expressed his belief in making the Lantern Festival an inclusive event for the entire student body.

Prof. Opeña headed the preparations for Lantern Festival last year requiring all the freshmen and sophomores to create lantern or traditionally called “parol” as their midterm requirement in NSTP resulting in a total of 82 parol displayed at the CCC View.

“Actually, ang midterm usually, dun tumatapat [a]ng lantern festival na kung saan yung mga topics namin sa midterms ay very crucial, very important,” Prof. Opeña explained, citing this as one of the reasons for transferring the task to the Office of Student Affairs (OSA).

Prof. Arman Navarro, OSA Director, expressed his satisfaction with the turnover, confident in the CSL’s ability to handle the event, “actually masaya ako nung nalaman ko na sa CSL ibibigay ang Parol Making. Kasi kahit busy na ang bawat isa sa dalawang events for the last quarter alam kong kaya nila kasi magagaling sila.”

Prof. Navarro also mentioned that one of the reasons why he accepted the turnover was because of the cash prizes benefitting the participating organizations.

May langit pa kayang naghihintay sa akin,
Gayong ang aking kaluluwa'y labis nang nagkasala?

Mga kamay ko'y may bahid na ng kasamaan
Dahil sa damdaming hindi ko napigilan

Labis-labis ang pagsisising nadarama sa kasalanang tapos na
Lalo na't ang oras, panahon, at buhay ay hindi na maibabalik pa

Sa aking mga anak, patawarin niyo ang inyong ama dahil sa Pasko'y 'di ninyo siya makakasama

Kailangan kong pagbayaran ang nagawang kong kasalanan
At nawa, kailanman ay huwag ninyo akong tularan

𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐀: Bilang bahagi ng DTE Week isinagawa ng Maior Scientiam Sodalitas (MSS) ang kaunaunahan nitong Lesson Planning Seminar na ginanap sa Audio Visual Room (AVR), nitong ika-5 ng Disyembre, na may temang “Crafting Effective Lesson Strategies for Science Teaching.”

Ayon kay Joshua Soriano, pangulo ng MSS, bagaman ilang beses nang nakansela ang plano nitong aktibidades ay lubos pa rin ang kanyang pasasalamat na natuloy ito na ilang buwan na nilang pinaghahandaan.

“Actually nasa COA (Calendar of Activities) na’to last…October 3, nakaplano siya pero dahil nag-request yung DTE, nagkaroon kami ng meeting na sabi…isabay na lang namin sa DTE Week. I [took] din yung opportunity na yon,” ani Soriano.

Dagdag pa niya, isa sa mga naging motibasyon ng kanilang organisasyon ang diskusyon ng mga importanteng proseso ng paggawa ng lesson plan lalo na’t ito ay magiging malaking bahagi ng napili nilang propesyon sa hinaharap.

“Isa rin sa mga naging motivation namin kasi…shempre gusto rin namin [na] hindi lang kami more on major subjects pero syempre we will become teachers din…tulad nung sabi ng [isa] sa mga speakers kanina na ito yung mga important[eng] mga bagay na dapat matutunan natin,” saad ni Soriano.

Samantala, itinuturong dahilan ni Soriano ang limitadong espasyo ng napiling venue, kung kaya’t second at third year lamang ang kanilang naimbitahang dumalo sa seminar.

“Maliit lang (ang space) na nasecure namin. Ang naging challenge din sa akin is yung venue kaya second year at third year lang pero kung puwede lang lahat ‘diba? Yun ang mas maganda [na] lahat talaga is maisama natin,” aniya.

Sa kabilang banda, ikinagalak ng mga Science Major ang nasabing event dahil sa kahalagahan umano ng pagkakaroon ng kaalaman sa paggawa ng lesson plan na pinangunahan ni Prof. Diana Dolor Rico bilang bisitang tagapagsalita.

“Malaking tulong [ito]. Para kasi tayong sasabak sa gyera e, hindi pwedeng sasabak sa gyera na walang dalang bala or ‘di tayo handa. Dapat lagi tayong may plano, kagaya nga [ng] sabi ng Speaker na buhay ng tao ang pina-plano natin,” saad ni Rachel Capistrano, 2nd year BSED-Science.

Matapos ang seminar ay pinaplano rin ng MSS ang pangalawang parte ng nasabing aktibidad.

“May second part siya actually…kumbaga may preparation [tulad ng] lesson plan and the next one should be the application,” pagbibigay-diin ni Soriano.

𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐀: Matapos ang halos isang buwang pagka-antala ng Department of Teacher Education (DTE) Week ng Leader Educators Advocating Dynamism (LEAD), matagumpay na umano itong nairaos sa iba’t-ibang pasilidad sa loob ng institusyon bilang alternatibong venue, Disyembre 5-6.

Ayon kay Dianna Juanata, pangulo ng LEAD, matapos ang unang pagka-antala ng naturang event noong buwan ng Oktubre dulot ng kabi-kabilang kanselasyon ng mga klase noong kasagsagan ng mga nagdaang bagyo, nahirapan na umano silang makahanap ng venue kung kaya’t ngayon na lamang naisagawa ang DTE Week.

“Simula talaga no’n (nagdaang mga bagyo), nahirapan na kami [makahanap] ng venue e, pero yung venue naman na sa school, kayang-kaya siyang I-push through, tuloy na tuloy naman siya (DTE Week) nang mabilis,” pagpapaliwanag ni Juanata.

Dagdag pa niya, ninais ng kanilang organisasyon na ituloy ang nasabing event sa kabila ng mga kinaharap na kumplikasyon dahil na rin sa mga kalahok na unang nagrehistro.

“Yung dahilan kung bakit namin sya pinush kahit na ganyan na hiwa-hiwalay [ang venue]…kasi naghihintay na rin yung mga students na nag-register, kung kailan daw itutuloy yung event nila, and syempre gusto rin namin na magkaroon pa rin talaga ng event ang DTE for first sem[ester],” ani Juanata.

𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐓: Tampok sa ‘Pagpula ng Dalampasigan’ ang pagpalaot ng mga freshmen students mula sa iba’t ibang organisasyon at alyansa sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, Los Banos kung saan isinadula ng mga artista ng bayan, sa produksyon ng ‘Isko’t Iska’ ang tunay na kalagayan ng mga maralitang mamamayan.

Sa humigit kumulang anim na buwan na preparasyon at pakikipamuhay sa mga komunidad, binigyang tuon dito ang mga danas sa pahirapang pagkamit sa batayang serbisyo publiko, walang kamatayang pakikibaka ng mga mamamayang lumalaban at mga rebolusyunaryo ng Timog Katagalugan.

Binuksan sa masa ang tatlong araw na makabayang pagtatanghal, kasama ang iba’t ibang alyansa sa Timog Katagalugan kung saan imbitado din ang mga komunidad na tampok sa dula, kabilang din ang Makabayan Coalition at ang iba pang mga grupo na nagbigay ng suporta.

Sa huling bahagi ng dula, binigyan ng pagkilala ang mga bayaning martir at kabataang rebolusyunaryo gayundin ang lumalaking bilang ng mga desaparecidos mula sa iba’t ibang hanay ng mga progresibong sektor.

𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: Computer Science Society (CSS) encountered conflicts with court schedules during their week-long intramurals event for BS Computer Science students across all year levels, with a theme "Clash of Codes," taking place from December 3-7, 2024.

Disruptions were recorded on the first day of games due to sudden rescheduling and conflict of court reservations, which resulted in delays to the game sets within the day.

"Nagkaroon po ng conflict regarding po sa reservations ng courts. Nagkaroon po ng miscommunication sa [Brgy.] San Jose and Brgy. [IV]," Carl James Macapanas, CSS Sports Committee Head said.

Due to the current location and landscape of the City College of Calamba (CCC), it lacks student spaces for ball games, which forces them to borrow covered courts from neighboring streets.

"Honestly, super hirap niya since, ang CCC wala siyang [sariling] court," Macapanas added, expressing his concern amidst ongoing issue with venues for intramurals and sports festivals.

On August 5, the CCC administration participated in the 'LIGA ng mga Barangay' held at the DILG Conference Room, and discussed the Memorandum of Agreement aimed at strengthening the partnership between the Barangays and the City College, the agreement was then signed on October 1.

CSS Intramurals featured a variety of ball games, board games, and e-games throughout the week-long event, with the most anticipated activities as the coding competition and quiz bee and the so-called 'Excsbit.'

The event will conclude by highlighting a field demo, moniker contest, pageant, and the awarding ceremony on the last day, December 7.

𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: College Registrar, Prof. Elvinard Reyes clarified rumors of receiving 4,000 pesos of internet allowance to compensate the delayed semester.

"2k (2,000 pesos) lang po ang matatanggap ng mga students ngayon at ito 'yong for last semester (2nd semester AY 2023-2024)," Prof. Reyes clarified.

Due to CHED's delayed deposit, the covered semester of internet allowance was also adjusted hence explained late distribution.

Prof. Reyes added that the grantees of the subsidy are the current 2nd year, 3rd year, and 4th year students who are enrolled both 2nd Semester, AY 2023 - 2024 and 1st Semester, AY 2024 - 2025, excluding the current freshmen and graduates.

Further clarification will be announced through a memorandum letter to be issued by the Office of the Assistant of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
