Eid al-Adha: Paggunita sa sakripisyo ng isang ama.

Ngayong ika-17 ng Hunyo 2024 ay idineklara bilang regular holiday sa buong bansa, bilang pagdiriwang ng Eid'l Adha o Pista ng sakripisyo.

Ito ay batay sa 1445 Hijrah Islamic Lunar Calendar, ang National Commission on Muslim Filipinos ay nagrekomenda na ang 17 Hunyo 2024, Lunes, ay ideklara bilang pambansang holiday, bilang paggunita sa Eid'l Adha.

Ang Eid al-Adha, ay isa sa dalawang pinakamahalagang pagdiriwang ng mga Muslim, ito ginugunita sa pagharap ni Ibrahim ng matinding pagsubok ng pagsunod nang siya ay atasan ng Allah na isakripisyo ang kaniyang panganay na anak na si Ishmael. Ang kaniyang hindi natitinag na pangako sa mga banal na utos ay humantong sa kaligtasan ni Ishmael.

Sa panahon ng Eid al-Adha, dadalo ang mga Muslim sa kanilang lokal na mosque kung saan nagsasagawa sila ng isang espesyal na panalangin na tinatawag na Salat al-Eid. Karaniwan din para sa mga Muslim na mag-alay ng tupa o kambing para kainin. Ang karne ay pinutol sa tatlong bahagi, na ang unang dalawa ay pupunta sa pamilya at mga kaibigan at ang huli ay pupunta sa mga nangangailangan.

Dito sa Pilipinas, kung saan ang tradisyong ito ay pinahahalagahan, ang Eid al-Adha ay kinikilala bilang isang taunang pampublikong holiday mula noong 2002, ayon sa itinakda sa Republic Act Number 9849. Ayon sa batas na ito, ang ikasampung araw ng Dhul Hijjah at ang ikalabindalawang buwan ng Islamic Lunar Calendar, ay opisyal na itinalaga bilang isang pambansang holiday upang gunitain ang Eid al-Adha.

Binabati ng STEC-SHS ang lahat ng ating kapwa Muslim ng Eid Mubarak!

Father's Day celebrates one of the most special figures in our lives. To some, that person may be our personal superhero. For others, a firm guide and teacher. Or simply, our very first friend.

Whatever role our fathers may have in our lives, it is important to always remember the significance they have in our lives. They have guided and supported us to become the people that we are today and are truly one of our deepest foundations in life.

To all our dads out there, Happy Father's Day!

“Ang laya mo'y babantayan, Pilipinas kong Hirang”

Sa simula't sa unang pagkakataon na maipagtanggol ang inang bayan laban sa sistema't pamamaraan sa pamahalaan ng ating bansa, nakapukol sa diwa at isip nating mga Pilipino ang mapagsilbihan at ipagtanggol ang lupang tinubuan sa kahit anong uri ng banta sa karimlan.

Ang tapang na naging huwaran ng ating pagsusumikap; ang mga sakripisyo na naging pundasyon ng ating mayamang kasaysayan, na nagbibigay lakas at inspirasyon sa pagtulak ng soberanyang pantay-pantay ang karapatan at may kalayaan na para sa lahat.

Ngayong paggugunita sa ika-126 na pagdiriwang ng Araw ng Kalayaan, nawa'y patuloy nating iwagayway ang ating watawat tanda ng diwang makabayan at damdaming nasyonalismo na nananalaytay sa bawat Pilipino. 'Pagkat ang kalayaan na ipinaglaban noon ng ating mga ninuno ay may kasamang responsibilidad na panatilihin at pagyamanin ito, na aalinduyog kasabay ng pagsusumikap at pagkakaisa upang maitaguyod ang kapakanan ng bawat isa.

At kasabay sa pagbabay sa mga hamon ng bansa, mula sa nagdaang pandemya, mga kalamidad, at iba pang suliranin—huwag nating kalimutan na ang tunay na diwa ng kalayaan ay nasa ating pagtutulungan at pagkakaisa. Ang pagkakaroon ng isang matatag na bansa ay nagsisimula sa ating bawat kilos at desisyon para sa ikabubuti ng lahat.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

Layo pa, pero layo na.

Usa sa mga dili makalimtan nga parte sa kinabuhi sa usa ka tinun-an mao ang mismong kahumanan niini. Dili kay tungod biyaan ang tanang panumdoman, na mura na og gikalimtan. Imbes, ang presensiya niining tinun-an, gikan sa pagpaso sa bantawan, hangtod sa pagsuot sa medalya ug pagkupot sa sertipiko nga gihagoan og pila ka adlaw ug gabii, mao kini ang ebidensya sa iyang naagian, ug timailhan sa unsa iyang kayang abton sa umalabot.

Ayaw kalimti ang imong gibati ato nga higayon. Kalipay, kasubo, kahinam, kahupayan. Hinumdumi, ug padayon. Padayon kay bisan layo pa ang padulngan, layo na ang naabtan.

A step closer to new heights

"Daganon ko nalang kaha ni padung sa biometrics no?..."

Do you ever find yourself reminiscing about those mornings? Racing against the 7:15 a.m. ticking bell felt like stepping onto the set of an action-packed movie. Students dashed like sprinters, chasing after victory against the relentless countdown of tardiness. It was a thrilling battle against time itself, indeed.

And for those who miss the mark, our junior police were always there, dutifully enforcing the rules, wrapping up ID laces on their arms as a reminder of the consequences. But in their efforts, they truly taught us more than just punctuality; they instilled in us the values of discipline and accountability, fundamental to our identity as STECians.

Remember, being on time is not just all about avoiding consequences; it's all about upholding the discipline that defines us as a STECian. "Excellence is our habit, perfection is our goal." Let's hold onto those memories as we strive to arrive before 7:16 a.m., cherishing the journey and the lessons learned along the way.

A moment of silence...

Busy class hours, relaxing break times, and exciting school events. If there is one thing that is most likely present in all of these occasions, it would probably be the sound of a zooming airplane passing by.

School life near an airport has introduced to the students moments when conversations are drowned out and awkward pauses ensue whenever an airplane makes its presence known. And once the noise has passed by, knowing looks are shared among the students and teachers, and things continue just like normal.

Like a momentary halt that comes even at the most hectic of times.

Or an unwelcome interruption in the recording of videos, or dissemination of announcements.

Needless to say, these brief pauses have become the norm for the STECians, serving to be more of a short break in the lively school community.

STEC-SHS convenes Baccalaureate Mass

On the 24th day of May 2024, the Senior High School students of Science and Technology Education Center (STEC) attended the Baccalaureate Mass held at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Parish at Marigondon, to solemnly give thanks and commemorate the successful completion of the academic year, as well as to bless the diplomas, medals, and awards in preparation for the upcoming Recognition and Graduation Rites.

The Baccalaureate Mass provided a sacred and profound moment for the students to pause, reflect, and rejoice in their accomplishments and unwavering determination throughout the entire school year, especially for the Grade 12 students as they prepare to transition from high school to college.

During the mass, Rev. Fr. John Chester F. Pleños Jr.,MSC, emphasized a powerful message to the students that to have faith, make the most of what you have, and recognize that all achievements and successes are blessings from God to celebrate them with gratitude. Moreover, he encouraged the students to look ahead and generously share their knowledge and learnings with others, particularly those who are in need.

Together with the teachers and parents, the solemn commemoration allowed the students to acknowledge the challenges they overcame, the knowledge they gained and the personal growth they experienced during the school year.

This Baccalaureate Mass also serves as a meaningful preparation for both Grade 11 and 12 students of STEC for the upcoming commencement exercise this May 29, 2024.

"Ate, palit ko fries ate"
"Isa unya ka mocktail te"
"Tagpila ni kuya?"

As the clock strikes 9:50, a familiar ritual begins: students, like clockwork, make a beeline for the canteen. Is it a coping mechanism, a momentary escape from the rigors of academia, or simply the need to fill their stomachs? Regardless of the motivation, the canteen quickly transforms into a whirl of activity, bursting with life during their precious break.

In the queue, students wait patiently– some not so patiently, to satisfy their hunger and perhaps to find a moment of respite amidst the busy school day. For some, its a chance to reconnect with friends from other classes, exchanging shared experiences and inside jokes that only they understand. Occasionally punctuated by the banter exchange with the ate’s and kuya’s behind the counter.

The canteen becomes more than just a place to eat; its a space of happiness, brimming with memories made by students who frequent it.

Isa, dalawa, tatlo; click!
Sa mga alaalang nilikha: tawanan at tampuhan, masasariwa pa kaya?

To forget is to relinquish a vital part of oneself; where a profound sense of loss is felt that we humans are mostly afraid of. Kasi sa paglimot, marubdom. The poem "Memory" by Remini delves into a melancholic reflection on the significance of memory, going beyond what it brings and what it holds.

Humans have a tendency of preserving moments and experiences that define their human identity and existence, highlighting their desire to cling to the little moments they would have wished to last longer. Although this is something technological advancements and processes to date could hold and store, the feeling itself of being in the moment, and the emotions that accompany it, could only be kept by the people who were there in the first place.

The poem encapsulates the depth of the inevitable nature of human memory. Would one still be able to keep the profound memory deep within, and remember, as time passes by? Or would one let go, and forget, once and for all?

A tale two people would have lived to tell, told in mere poetry for one to behold. "Surrender" by Nets delves into the innate intricacy of love. Encapsulating the essence of teenage love, through the highs and the lows of it, through weaving words, in such a way to evoke a whirlwind of emotions, and tugs unto the readers’ heartstrings. From the longing stares two pairs of eyes exchange, communicating through a language only the two shared, to the fleet of yearning that comes by them as the clock strikes midnight. Hope lingers in the air, one with the haze.

However, the thrill eventually dies down after meeting its pinnacle, and a pang of realization hits them square in the chest: how partaking in a battle comes with a weight one has to bear. As the adage goes, "All is fair in love and war." But what happens when one blurs the line between the two? Now, if it all comes down to one choice to make, will they do what is right, or what is easy?

"Lupa't Langit" reflects a sense of frustration with the current state of society, highlighting the disparity between the powerful and the marginalized, and the struggle of breaking free from the shackles of oppression and poverty, in pursuit of true independence and identity.

It is in one's expression despite the feeling of hopelessness, that paves the way for true hope.

Tanglaw ng pagsisikap at inspirasyon

Ito ay hindi lamang isang pagdiriwang, bagkus, isang pahayag ng pagkakaisa laban sa anumang anyo ng pang-aapi’t, diskriminasyon sa mga mangaggawa. Sa bawat araw ng kanilang pagpupunyagi at sakripisyo, ang kanilang mga kamay ang nagbibigay kulay at buhay sa ating lipunan. Sa diwa ng pagkakaisa at respeto, ating bigyang pugay ang kanilang mahalagang papel sa pagpapaunlad ng ating bansa.

Nawa’y patuloy nating salubungin ang lakas at determinasyon ng bawat manggagawa sa bawat araw, hindi lamang sa araw na ito. Sa kanilang sipag at tiyaga, nagbubunga ito ng pag-unlad at pagbabago. Mabuhay ang lahat ng manggagawang Pilipino, kayo ang tunay na bayani ng bayan!

Ang maong hingpit nga higayon sa pakiggubat ni Datu Lapulapu uban sa iyang nga tawo batok sa mga Espanyol nga gidumalahan ni Magellan, nagpamatuod sa tiunay nga gugma sa atong yutawhan.

Kung mababalikan mo ang nakaraan, ano ang babaguhin mo?

Imposible ang time travel. Wala pang pag-aaral sa siyensya ang makakagawa ng time machine na tutulong sa atin upang mabalikan ang nakaraan at mabago ang kasalukuyang kinabukasan.

Bagama't imposible, the feeling of wanting to go back to the past to change the things that you've done still lingers. Basta't handa ka lang dumaan sa partikular na sandali sa'yong buhay, kahit na kailangan mong ipagsapalaran ang isang malaking bagay. Dahil alam mong mas malaki pa ang 'yong aanihin, na siyang siguradong susubukan mong muli.

Ang pinakamahirap na pagbitaw...

Ano nga ba ang tunay na sukat upang maitakda ang matapat na pagkakaibigan? Nakabatay ba ito sa haba ng panahong magkasama ang dalawang tao, o di kaya naman ay sa mga karanasang pinagdaanan nito? At sa mga katanungang ito, ano nga ba ang mismong sumisira ng isang pagkakaibigan?

Ang mga katanungang ito ay iilan lamang sa mga kaisipang nais ipahayag ni Ami sa kaniyang tula. Ang sugat na dala ng pagputol ng koneksyon sa ibang tao ay isang kakaibang kirot na hindi madaling ipabatid, sapagkat ito ay nagmamarka hindi lamang pagputol ng kaibigan ito, pati na rin ang tawanan at karanasang dala ng ugnayang ito.

Sa tuluyang pagkasira ng pagkakaibigan ng dalawang tao ay tila nagiging nakakasakal na ang kaisipang hindi maunawaan ang mismong dahilan kung bakit dumating sa ganitong punto. Isang relasyong bunga ng matagal na paghihirap, na ngayon ay parang panandalian lang na nabasag na walang kamalayan at ng biglaan.

Ang tula ni Ami ay nagpapakita ng pag-asam sa pagkakaibigan ng nakaraan, at ang walang saysay na pagtatanggi sa katotohanan ng pagkatapos nito.

STEC-SHS nakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Panitikan 2024

Sa pagpunit ng pahina sa kalendaryo, ay siya namang pagbubukas ng yugto upang ipagbunyi ang kayamanang nangangalaytay sa dunong at hinubugang kaluluwa ng bawat isa. Ang unang araw ng Abril ay inilaan upang ipagdiwang ang Buwan ng Panitikan alinsunod sa Proklamasyon Bilang 968 na naglalayong paglalimin at palaganapin ang tanging yaman na naging lunduyan sa matatag na pangkaisipang pumanday at nagpakalawang sa tanikalang nagpalugmok sa dignidad ng mga Pilipino.

Ang himpilan ng Mantalaan ay isa sa mga nagnanais na makilahok sa ginintuang adhikaing nais isulong ng mga pantas ng bansa. Maghanda sapagkat hindi lamang ang wikang hinirang bilang pambansa ang babalangkasin ng opisyal na publikasyon ng paaralan, atin ding sasagutin ang mga sumusunod na palaisipan:

Gaano nga ba kahitik sa panitikan ang mga kabataan sa ika-21 na siglo?

Unsa kahanas ang mga tinun-an sa ilang nadak-ang pinulungan?

Sa buwan ng Abril, tayo'y magbasa at tuluyang sayasatin ang panitikang nagdulot ng kapayapaan!

The Rise of Salvation

“Don’t be afraid! I am the First and Last. I am the living one. I died, but look–I am alive forever and ever!” – Revelation 1:17-18

To die, is to fall upon one’s grave of sin and end one’s physical life – an act as undesirable as it is unavoidable. When Jesus Christ died for our sins, He was nailed to a cross, and stood among men of sin. In His last breath He spoke, “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.” And thus, His spirit was commended on the third day when He rose again from the dead.

His resurrection is a symbol of how salvation triumphs sin. Hence, let us commemorate this holy and Easter Sunday by putting our faith in the workings of God and believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ so that we may walk in a new way of life and receive eternal salvation – to be resurrected with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven.
