𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 | 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲: 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵

The clock ticked over; the year unfurled like a fresh page, its edges crisp yet already tinged with the weight of what has come before. The world doesn’t pause, doesn’t wait for your resolutions or declarations—it just moves.

Last year, I was thrust into a new environment, surrounded by faces I didn’t know and voices that didn’t yet feel warm or familiar. The idea of making friends felt like a mountain I wasn’t ready to climb. Fear wrapped itself around me, whispering that it might be easier to stay small and let the world pass me by.

But something inside wouldn’t let me settle. Maybe it was hope, or maybe it was the quiet voice that knew staying afraid wasn’t the answer. So, I took steps—even when my legs shook. I started conversations, even when my voice wavered. I showed up, even when I felt out of place. Bit by bit, the fear gave way to connection. I found people who made me feel seen, strangers who turned into friends.

Looking back, I see how much courage it took, and I’m proud of it. It reminds me that fear doesn’t have to stop me. It is a feeling, and feelings can be carried. I carried it last year, and I’ll carry it again if I have to. Because I know now that each step forward, no matter how small, makes the fear a little quieter and the reward a little sweeter.

As I step into this new year, I don’t expect the fear to disappear. But I know I can face it. I’ve done it before. I’ve proven to myself that being afraid doesn’t mean I can’t do something. And with that proof tucked into my heart, I am ready to keep going, to keep growing, to keep choosing courage.

Here’s to a year of becoming—of stepping into the storm, not to conquer it, but to let it reshape me. Because growth is messy, beautiful, and worth every moment.

This year unfolded differently for each of us. We all carried our own fair share of hardships and challenges, no matter how light or heavy the burdens weighed on our shoulders. Our little victories and woeful trials have culminated in a well-deserved Christmas break—a holiday from long, repetitive days of hustle and anxiety. We retreat and nestle in the warmth of our homes and families.

The Filipino Christmas is more than just a season; it wraps the wounds in our souls, assures our tired bodies of rest, and ties us back to our loved ones and communities. It offers a pause—like a bus stop amid the busy street noise and heavy traffic—promising replenishment for our overall well-being.

Retracing the Tradition of Christmas: Welcoming the Child in Us

Who was Santa for you? To many, he was a mystery that children tried to solve before being tucked beneath cozy covers. There is magic in his identity—an omniscient figure who seemed to know our deeds, sleep, and wishes. Yet, deep down, we knew only those who loved us dearly would pay such attention to the smallest details, making him magical.

As we grow older, tales shift. We realize Santa is not a jolly stranger in red, but our loved ones, smiling as they watch us unwrap gifts they had carefully hidden. The magic lies in how well we are treasured—to be so deeply known and loved.

The Season of Christmas: An Invitation to Reunite with Our Families

Each family has its unique Christmas traditions, favorite seasonal activities that strengthen bonds. For some, it’s decorating the Christmas tree—a narrative on its own. The tree’s branches, worn from years of holding balls, candy canes, ribbons, and lights, tell stories of time. Themes of ornaments mark trends and cherished memories.

Some adorn trees with glittery flora, bedazzling branches with sparkles; others hang tiny pictures of distant loved ones. Most special is crowning the tree with the best ornament—the star.

For others, Christmas means baking, cooking, playing games, giving prizes, singing karaoke, or sharing drinks. Whatever the activity, it fosters quality time, expressing love uniquely shared within families.

Tying the Community Through the Christmas Tree Lighting Tradition

Beyond the home, communities gather around a special tree yet to be lit. Each day counts down to the grand reveal of a towering evergreen, adorned with carefully crafted ornaments and lights. Families and friends witness the lighting ceremony together, celebrating as one.

The significance of this tree lies not in its grandeur but in its ability to bring people together despite their differences. Sharing the moment when the tree finally shines ignites the Christmas spirit, fostering a sense of belonging amidst the chilly December air.

The Missing Silver Lining in the December Gloom

Yet, the breeze carries whispers of nostalgia—Christmas no longer feels the same. Gone is the child-like wonder of discovering Santa’s identity. Decorating trees with loved ones might be neglected, lost to busy schedules and exhaustion. Seasonal blues make it harder to invite others to celebrate, especially in gloomy weather.

While this season is meant for joy, it can feel difficult to find the silver lining. But this longing to connect with others reveals that Christmas still lives in our hearts. The ache to share this festivity stems from love—the love we’ve cultivated through gifts, traditions, and celebrations.

A Grand Delight Amidst It All

Despite life’s demands, perhaps Christmas reminds us to celebrate being with our loved ones. The magic lies in the small, secure moments, free from deadlines and looming tasks. After a year of productivity, we find ourselves resting at the metaphorical bus stop, savoring the present moment, reconnecting with ourselves and our families.

There will come a time when we reclaim our child-like wonder. Until then, love waits patiently, warmed by fragments of past memories.

As the years transform how we celebrate, the child in us remains eager for each gift, tradition, and moment shared with others. The best gifts to unwrap are the arms holding us tight in a warm embrace. No greater delight exists than the smiles exchanged with loved ones. This is the essence of Christmas—the love we carry for ourselves and our ability to share it with others is the greatest gift of all.

Bicol University College of Social Science and Philosophy (BUCSSP) Social Work Department, in partnership with its student organization, Human Welfare Advocates (HWA), conducted an outreach activity entitled “Tabang sa Kaakian: Little Smiles, Seeds of Hope” at Balangibang Integrated School, Polangui Albay, yesterday, December 14, 2024. The community extension activity aims to aid the school children affected by the previous Tropical Cyclone Kristine’s flooding, particularly in the 3rd District of Albay.

Aligned with the objectives of the activity, the distribution of school supplies for the Day-Care to Grade 7 students aimed to address their educational needs, while the interactive games and sessions led by the volunteers brought smiles to the children’s faces. The organization also prepared food to be shared to everyone who attended the program.

The 1st batch of the volunteers embarked their journey at 10 a.m. to prepare for the half-day program, while the 2nd batch set off at exactly 12:45 p.m. of the same day to provide additional assistance. The volunteers are composed of both fresh and experienced ones.

Kayte Millena, a first time-volunteer, says that the activity was inspiring and that a lot of lessons can be obtained through the experience, mentioning their excitement for the outreach program.

“Excited talaga ako na pumunta sa ibang [lugar], para mag-help din sa mga bata, since malapit talaga ako sa mga bata. Nakaka-learn ka rito ng lesson na, ayun nga, may mga [bata] na kailangan talaga ng tulong,” they concluded.

Furthermore, similar to what the freshie student said, Maria Carla Agor, a second time-volunteer described the experience as tiring but fulfilling. According to her, participating in this kind of event sharpens the skills essential in becoming an effective social worker.

“Fulfilling sa pakiramdam na naka-help ka sa mga bata kasi ‘yon naman talaga ang isa sa mga essence ng social work,” she commented.

When asked if they wanted to do the volunteering work again for similar cause, both nodded with contented smiles on their faces.
According to the HWA Internal Vice President Shiela Jean E. Oarde, the event was originally planned to be carried out in November to celebrate the Children’s Month. However, due to school suspensions and delayed paperwork the event didn’t take place as scheduled.

The organization of Sociology department from Bicol University- College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (BU-CSSP), The Associates, received the Award for Outstanding Clubs in the Information and Communication category during the three-day International Assembly of Youth for UNESCO 2024 convention. The event was held at the Citystate Asturias Hotel, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, from November 29 to December 1, 2024.

Representatives of The Associates—Kristel Naveza (President), Kisher John A. Mirandilla (Secretary), and Prof. John Martin C. Loma—attended the convention to personally accept the recognition and participate in the included activities.

President Kristel Naveza expressed her satisfaction with the productivity of attending the convention and interacting with the locals of Palawan, and their peers as well.

"Very fulfilling and honored po to represent the organization, department, and college not only to receive recognitions but also in participating sa academic competitions. Aside from that, very productive din po that we get to learn about a new community such as the place itself and the people of Clubs for UNESCO," Naveza said in an interview.

She also validated the efforts of the organization through the years to uphold and promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and hopes that their initiatives would be continued in the coming years.

"For me, this achievement means that our resources sa organization and department including the efforts of the people and yung mga initiatives for the recent years is aligned po sa mandate ng UNESCO and are specially responsive sa SDGs. Sobrang laking responsibility po niya for us pero it's calling for sustained efforts and action po in the grassroots level naman po so sana magawa po ulit," Naveza added.

Meanwhile, Mirandilla extended his appreciation to the former president and advisor of their organization, Janna Alyssa Jacob and Prof. Ian Relao, respectively, for their efforts in securing their reaccreditation.

"It was significant. The organization and the department strived to be accredited in the Clubs for UNESCO. My special thanks to our previous president Ate Janna Alyssa Jacob, together with our past adviser Prof Ian Relao, and many of those who took part, for spearheading the initiative for our accreditation and for reigniting the soul of the organization again. Being a representative was a responsibility yet also an achieved task, knowing that as a student of CSSP, the college is being represented also," says Mirandilla.

Furthermore, Mirandilla reminds the students to take opportunities that would develop them through beneficial experiences.

"Opportunities like these should not be overlooked and must be taken before they disappear, not because of the thought of leisure, but mainly the beneficial experiences that will last for a lifetime."

The Associates were also recognized as reaccredited Clubs for UNESCO 2024. The Associates' Secretary also participated in the Youth for UNESCO (Y4U) Essay Writing Competition (College Level) during their stay in Palawan.

𝐋𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐚 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲𝐚…

Kaya pang mabura ang pagkakamali sa kampay ng mga letra,
Sa pagtasa naman ng lapis, nakasalalay ang lundo ng tanka,
At nasa diin ng panulat ang dikta sa takbo ng digta.

Dahil maliit pa, ang pagtuklas ay may kalakip na pagkakasala;
Tila ang pagkakamali ay normal na sa isang bata,
Naaayos pa nila ang baluktot sa linya,
Wari’y kay daling maayos ng gusot sa likha nila.

𝐀𝐬𝐮𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧, 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐲𝐚𝐧…

Ang mga linya sa aking papel noong elementarya,
Ang malumbay na paghagod ng pinsel upang makabuo ng perpektong linya.
Siguro, dito na rin nagsimula ang aking pagiging sigurista,
Na hanggang ngayon ay dala-dala ko pa.

𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐧𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐚 𝐤𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐲𝐨…

Oo nga, hindi na kailangan ng tasa.
Mas nagtatagal na sa papel ang tinta,
Pero ang pagkakamali ay mahirap nang mabura.
Ganito ba talaga sa kolehiyo? Ang digta ang magdidikta sa takbo ng tema ng tula.

Mas mahirap burahin ang nasimulan na,
Hindi katulad noong bata pa, na ang pagkakamali ay nabubura pa.
Ang takot ay nawawala sa tanawin ng isang pambura,
Ngunit ngayon, pagkakamali na ang humahagod sa takot na nadarama.

Babala na rin ito siguro,
Sapagkat sa paglaki natin bilang isang tao,
Kasama na ng paghubog sa talas ng panulat,
Ang desisyon at aksyon na ating ilalapat.

𝐒𝐚 𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐤𝐢…

Maigi nang pag-isipan ang gagawin nang mabuti,
Dahil hindi na lapis ang gamit natin.
Ang digta ng pluma ay nag-iiwan na ng lamat na hindi mabubura.

𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙤 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙤 𝙗𝙖 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙨𝙖𝙗𝙞 𝙣𝙖 𝙗𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙡 𝙜𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙩 𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙨?

Maging sigurista na lang kaysa sa huli’y maghinagpis
Gamitin muna ay ang itinabing lapis,
Nang sa gayon ang pagpupunyagi,
Kailan man ay hindi mapawi.

Sa muling pagharap sa mga itinakdang katanungan,
Huwag kalilimutang ang pagkakamali’y laging nand’yan,
Ngunit kung ang desisyon ay taimtim na pag-iisipan,
Maging lapis o pluma man ‘yan, ang papel ay hindi madudungisan.

Ngayong nasa kolehiyo, ikaw na ang may hawak ng pluma at tinta
Ang tanka ng digta ay nasa kamay mo na.
Tandaan, hindi na lapis kundi pluma
Kaya ang dinikta ng digta ay habang buhay nang sa papel ay matitira.

Protect. Act: Forum on Women and Human Rights,” held at the BUCSSP Arcilla Hall, December 6, 2024.

During the discussion, Atty. Georgeanna Rainbow S.

Meanwhile, Atty. Vienna M. Bufete, focused on the Safe Spaces Act–a special law designed to ensure that public and online spaces remain free from gender-based sexual harassment–and the actions it deems punishable, providing numerous examples of abuse cases in various contexts, shedding light on their legal ramifications.

Aligned with the Anti-VAW campaign, the forum aimed to provide a safe space for learning, dialogue, and reflection, committed to raise awareness, support survivors, and advocate for systemic change in ending VAW, starting from oneself.

𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗱, 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿! Just as the clock strikes at 12, loud booms of fireworks displays and shrieking horns overpower the silence that previously characterized the night streets. Inside, sound-generating appliances like televisions, speakers, and karaokes are powered—with volumes believed to be powerful enough to shrug off the evil to possibly come. Altogether, families sing, drink, play games, and, of course, indulge in an all-time favorite: eat and sleep. Others, however, find more comfort in a quiet evening, reflecting on how the past year unfolded. Regardless of how we celebrate and welcome the new year ahead, we do so for we believe that it marks a new beginning; a significant opportunity to start changing lives—may they be our own or others'. So now, it is about time to bid goodbye to 2023 and say hello to 2024. While the future holds so much uncertainty, may we keep our forehead high. In the midst of a seemingly endless pool of hurdles, let us find strength in ourselves and in others to keep moving forward while keeping with us the lessons and memories of the past year, ◢ Yahnatan Flores
