Sa diwa pa rin ng pagdiriwang ng National Campus Press Freedom Day kahapon, at dahil sa napapanahon niyang appearance these days sa mga 'baha' coverage, narito ang mensahe ni GMA Integrated News reporter Sir Nico Waje sa mga mamamahayag ng The Harbinger dalawang taon na ang nakakalipas.

Ang inyo pong mensahe ukol sa pagtataguyod ng pamamahayag sa aming paaralan ay patuloy pa rin pong umaalingawngaw sa aming diwa (at puso ng ilan sa aming mga kabahagi!) upang maglingkod ng lubos sa pamamagitan ng broadcasting, kasama na ang pagsulat at iba pang mahalagang larangan sa campus journalism.

PS: Nakaka-inspire din ang mga 'baha' coverage bi Sir Nico kaya napalusong din ang aming team para sa sarili naming 'baha' coverage sa TH.

The light of the sun finally broke through the clouds early today like a promise recalled after days of dim clouds controlling our sky through restless rains-----no mercy and no reservations. Instead of roaring into the scene, the sun just whispered, glimmered like tiny hope-mirrors.

The trees that had formerly drooped under the water's weight suddenly swayed as if they were dancing, as if they were breathing a sigh of release. The air seemed lighter, warmer, and it infused with the scent of fresh starts.

People came out slowly with eyes blinking at the seemingly odd brightness, and with faces lifting toward the light they missed for days.

But all these were fleeting. The moment of the crowned star retreated behind the clouds where everything almost returned to the old, gloomy scene.

The consolation? we know that somberness is also fleeting and its warm delight is just right there behind with a constant promise of returning very soon when the moment is right.

Take, savor, and wait for that moment.

Then repeat.

Before the dim clouds reclaimed the sky, the golden sun fleetingly touched the gentle afternoon in the now serene Limay River which bestowed a group of kids a chance in casting their makeshift fishing lines into the water. They werenโ€™t just fishing โ€” they were hoping. They searched for anything the river could
spare, chasing more than fish, but the chance to ease an empty stomach. The catch was meager but that's what all that they can take to turn "nothing" into "something" to eat.

The river is stingy and the clouds temper is highly uncertain. That is why children want the rain to go away for it is not dear to them. The reality of nature is harsh for the young ones because it is not a fitting playground, and the older ones must be in control of navigating the realities of this rude world for them.

[๐—–๐—ข๐— ๐— ๐—จ๐—ก๐—œ๐—ง๐—ฌ] Residents of Barangay Luz Kitang 2 who are affected by the extreme effects of habagat and Typhoons Emong and Dante flocked to their barangay's covered court Friday afternoon where they received packs of relief goods from their local government.

Barangay officials scheduled the distribution per village which started at the barangay proper, then served other communities within the barangay such as Sitio Tangke and Marsteel.

Bo. Luz is one of the barangays in Limay that experienced flooding due to the overspilling of their river.

As the Philippines faces a series of typhoons bringing heavy rains, floods, and landslides, many families are left struggling to stay safe. And yet, amidst the crisis, some schools continue to push through with online classes and the distribution of activitiesโ€”as if everything is normal.

According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), thousands of families have been affected by recent typhoons. In many areas, electricity and internet connectivity have been unstable for days; some were entirely cut off. For students who have lost their homes, completing schoolwork is the least of their worries.

This brings up a serious question: does the education system really know what is happening ? Or has it forgotten to go down from the ivory towerโ€”to step down from privilege and understand the harsh reality that students and their families are enduring?

Education is important, yes. But it should never come at the cost of oneโ€™s mental health or safety. Not everyone has internet access. Not every home has electricity. And certainly, not every learner is in the right state of mind to study when they are fearful of the current situation they are experiencing.

This is not a matter of blaming anyone. Instead, it is a call for awareness. Education must be inclusive, understanding, and humaneโ€”especially in times of crisis. Deadlines should not be more important than disaster recovery.

In these trying times, may we choose empathy over expectations. We must remember: students are not just learners. They are sons, daughters, siblingsโ€”some are breadwinners who are doing their best to survive the crisis.

Let us build an education system that listens, adjusts, and most importantly, goes down from the ivory tower when the people below are drowning in apparent troubles and anxieties.

Sa paggunita ng Campus Press Freedom Day, dapat lang nating bigyang-diin ang kahalagahan ng malayang pamamahayag bilang pundasyon ng responsableng komunikasyon at pagsisilbi sa lipunan. Hindi lang basta karapatan ang magsalitaโ€”ito'y isang obligasyon na kailangang isagawa nang may integridad. Gayunpaman, hindi palaging maayos ang landas ng mga campus journalist; madalas silang humaharap sa matitinding pagsubok at balakid. Sa kabila ng mga hamong ito, nananatiling mahalaga ang papel nila sa pagbibigay-boses sa kabataan at pagtataguyod ng katotohanan sa loob at labas ng paaralan.

Sa loob ng siyam na taon, naranasan ng The Harbinger ang mga hamon gaya ng ilang mga kabahagi nitong nakatuon sa patimpalak, nakasentro ang tuon sa tungkulin nito bilang public relations o "PR" lamang, at minsan ay napipigilang tinigโ€”mga panahong ang katotohanan ay tila itinuturing na paninira at ang pagoapahayag ay binabantaan ng kaparusahan. Sa kabila ng mga ito, nananatili ang pangunahing layunin: hindi para sa parangal at pansaroling interes, kundi para sa tunay na paglilingkod at pagpapalaganap ng katotohanan.

Bilang bahagi ng campus press, tungkulin nating hindi lamang iulat ang positibo, kundi liwanagan din ang mga isyung nangangailangan ng atensyon at pagbabago. Ang diwa ng malayang pamamahayag ay matatagpuan sa kakayahang magmulat ng kaisipan, magsuri nang kritikal, at magsilbing katalista ng pagbabagoโ€”hindi lamang sa paaralan, kundi maging sa mas malawak na komunidad at hanay ng kabataan.

Gayundin ay mahalagang maipundar st makarating ang mga likha at akda sa komunidad sa loob at maging sa labas ng paaralan. Ito ay mahalagang mandatong itinakda ng Batas Republika 7079 na nakasaad sa Rule IV, Section 4 (i) ng Implementing Rules and Regulation (IRR) nito na "to advocate for social consciousness and uphold the interest of the Filipino people." Kung naisasapubliko man ay hindi lohikal ang tagal na inantay bago mailathala.

Kasama sa mga paglalayag ang mga alon, subalit hindi ibig sabihin nito na matatakot ang mga mamamahayag sa mga kampus na ilatag ang sariling mga kakulangan nito at matatakot na magpahayag tungkol sa ating kolektibong mga kuwento ng ating paglalakbay bilang isang paaralan at lipunan.

๐—œ๐—ก๐—š๐—”๐—ง ๐—ฆ๐—” ๐—•๐—œ๐—ฌ๐—”๐—›๐—˜! Nitong mga nakaraang araw na malakas ang pagbuhos at tuloy-tuloy ang mga pag-ulan, hindi maiiwasan sa mga kababayan natin dito sa Limay ang lumabas bunga ng pangangailangan, gaya ng pagbili ng mga gagamitin sa bahay at pagpasok sa trabaho lalo na sa mga nasa pribadong kumpanya .

Subalit kaakibat ng masungit na panahon ang masamang lagay ng ating mga kalsada dahil sa pagbaha na maglalagay sa alanganin ang kaligtasan ng ating mga sarili at sinasakyan.

Kaya't narito ang Motorists' guide ng The Harbinger para sa ligtas na pagbiyahe mula Limay pa-Balanga at pabalik (kung hindi maiiwasan) upang maipakita kung kakayanin ba ng ating mga sasakyan at ng ating kakayahang magmaneho ang lagay ng Roman Highway sa tuwing malakas ang buhos ng ulan (red o orange rainfall warning).

Ang ilang mga footages at larawan ay kuha noong Hulyo 22 ng hapon at gabi kung saan napasailalim ang Bataan sa Red at Orange Rainfall Warning ng DOST-PAGASA.

Extend our help to our fellow Bataeรฑos who are affected by flooding and heavy rainfall in the recent days.

Para mga nagnanais magpaabot ng tulong sa mga kapwa nating Bataeรฑo na higit na naapektuhan ng habagat bunsod ng mga pag-ulan dala ng mga bagyong Crising, Dante at Emong, maaari po kayong makipag-ugnayan sa inyong Municipal/City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.

Patuloy naman po ang ating Pamahalaang Panlalawigan ng Bataan sa pamamahagi ng mga food packs, gamot at iba pa upang tugunan ang pangangailangan ng ating mga kababayan lalo na ang mga nasa evacuation sites sa buong Lalawigan.

Maraming salamat at patuloy po tayong dumalangin sa ating Panginoon.

Stay safe, Bataeรฑos!

The aid distribution comes in response to the impact of the intense to torrential rains poured by Habagat and tropical depressions Crising, Dante, and Emong that have affected the area. Local authorities continue to monitor the situation and ensure the safety and well-being of affected residents.
