𝐄𝐢𝐝 𝐚𝐥-𝐀𝐝𝐡𝐚, or "𝑭𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒆," is one of the most important festivals in the Muslim calendar. It includes a ritual of sacrificing animals, which marks this important event as it highlights the obedience of Muslims and their devotion to Allah.

The event stems from a narrative found within the Quran where Ibrahim sacrificed his son as an act of obedience, but God intervened to replace the sacrifice with a lamb. This passage is observed and celebrated by Muslims as it emphasizes the act of submission and devotion to God.

The celebration unites the Muslims at the mosque to pray in gratitude to Allah. In honor of this, they share a feast with family, relatives, friends, and the less fortunate. This observance of tradition holds profound religious importance and has been respected and recognized as a 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟬𝟮 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗰𝘁 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟵𝟴𝟰𝟵 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗘𝗶𝗱 𝗮𝗹-𝗔𝗱𝗵𝗮.

I come to work early in the morning and continue until midnight. I work hard at what I love to do because I want for my children to have a better future. Our everyday expenses surpass my income. Despite the difficulty of this job, I am driven by the hope of giving my children opportunities I never had.

Being a good father and provider is challenging yet fulfilling, especially when they are doing well. They were exceptional at their university, had a solid reputation, and frequently won awards for their academic endeavors.

Yet, some children may forget their parents entirely after completing their studies. It’s as if they’ve tossed away the very ones who sacrificed everything for them.

I clearly remember the first time they failed to celebrate my birthday. I celebrated by myself in my humble house. I am aware that their regular responsibilities may be keeping them extremely busy. Still, my affection and understanding for them have never faded.

They always exclaim, “You are so dummy,” whenever I say something they don't like.

“You haven't finished anything. You have no right to interfere in my life!” was the phrase that most profoundly affected me when my oldest said it. I still feel like my life is ending when I hear those words.

I enjoy thinking back to the times when, despite feeling worn out from working all day, I still make their favorite meals and get their uniforms ready. Because I find it upsetting to witness their struggles. I hate witnessing their pain. Doing them a good turn makes me happy.

I'm no longer aware of the positive events in my children's lives now that they have grown and have their own priorities set. I miss those moments when, despite certain difficulties in our lives, we were satisfied and eager to share endless stories about the wonderful things that had occurred.

Have I done enough as a father?

The reality that they have achieved their dreams, which they used to tell me about as kids, makes me proud.

“My job is the one thing you are unaware of. For twenty years, I endured chronic back pain while working as a taxi driver. I don't want you to know this since I don't want you to feel awkward around your peers. I continue to drive cabs for a living as of this moment. All I want is for you to accept me as your only genuine father—a father who understands the depth of my love for you—before I pass away. I hope you feel my love is all-consuming and selfless.”

I kept this letter I wrote for them today—hidden, as I fight cancer here in the hospital.

Panghaharang, sadyang pambabangga, at pambobomba ng water cannons, iyan ay ilan lamang sa mga pang-haharass na ginagawa ng Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) sa ating mga kababayang mangingisda sa West Philippine Sea. Mapa-maliit mang fishing vessel, resupply ship, o kahit mismong Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) ay walang pinapalampas ang mga Tsinong ito. Ang mga aksyong ito ay hinggil sa kanilang paniniwala na ang karagatang kanilang binabantayan ay parte ng South China Sea.

Maliban sa sirang plakang argumento ng Tsina na “Nine-Dash line,” isang sinaunang biswal na representasyon ng kanilang di umanong soberanya sa West Philippine Sea, ay may binabanggit pa itong “gentle man’s agreement.” Ito ay sinasabing kasunduan sa pagitan ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at Chinese President Xi Jinping kung saan ay hindi na magpapadala ang Pilipinas ng supply o pagkukumpuni sa BRP (Barko ng Republika ng Pilipinas) Sierra Madre, ang outpost ng ating bansa sa Ayungin Shoal. Ngunit hanggang ngayon ay wala pa ring konkretong patunay ang nasabing kasunduan.

Matatandaan na noong Hulyo 12, 2016 nanalo ang Pilipinas sa arbitration case laban sa Tsina ukol sa West Philippine Sea, ngunit magwawalong taon na ang nakalipas ay hindi pa rin nila ito kinikilala. Base sa mga ebidensiya ay patuloy pa rin ang pagtatayo ng mga ilegal na imprastraktura at artipisyal na isla sa ating teritoryo, isang implikasyon ng kanilang kawalang respeto sa ating naipanalong karapatan.

Umaalon ang mga balita ukol sa mga insidenteng pang-aangkin. Lubos nang naapektuhan ang hanap buhay ng ating mga mangingisda, batay sa kanilang pahayag sa naging public consultation na isiginawa ng Kamara sa Masinloc, Zambales ukol sa isyu sa West Philippine Sea nitong Mayo 24, 2024, ay labis na bumaba ang bilang ng kanilang huli dahil sa panggigipit ng Chinese Coast Guards na naka bantay sa Bajo de Masinloc. Kwento rin nila’y may mga pagkakataon pang inaagaw ng mga ito ang kanilang magagandang huli pag sila’y sinisita, wala naman silang magawa dahil sa takot. Kaya’t ang kanilang apela sa gobyerno ay malayang pangingisda, hindi ayuda.

Bukod dito ay apektado rin ang mga dapat na resupply mission ng militar sa mga outpost ng ating teritoryo, at pananaliksik ng mga sangay ng gobyerno tulad ng Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) at Department of Science and Technology (DOST). Lalo na’t nakikitang solusyon sa ating kakulangan sa nonrenewable resources ang mga langis na matatagpuan sa West Philippine Sea.

Ito ay isang pampolitikang alitan ngunit kung titignan ay mas dehado ang mga normal na mamamayan pagdating sa pang-ekonomiyang epekto ng isyung ito. Kung noon ay malalaking alon at mapanganib na isda lamang ang kanilang kinakalaban, ngayon ay kailangan na rin nilang lumayo sa mga higanteng barko para sa kaligtasan. Pagtakas mula sa mga tsino lamang ang natatanging sagot upang makabalik sila nang ligtas sa laot.

Maraming pamilyang Pilipino ang umaasa sa yamang dagat, habang tumatagal ang suliraning ito ay unti-unti nang nawawala ang ating karapatan sa pagmamay-aring karagatan. Kaya’y nararapat lamang na ipaglaban ng ating gobyerno ang pinaghirapan na karapatang soberanya sa West Philippine Sea.

Hindi kinakailangang idaan sa armado o madugong pakikipaglaban ang isyung ito, bukas ang ideyang Joint Patrol kung saan sasamahan ng US Navy o iba pang mga bansa ang ating Navy o mga mangingisda sa West Philippine Sea bilang bantay sa mga sinasagawang aktibidad. Ito rin ang ginawang solusyon ng Malaysia at Indonesia noon at naging tagumpay naman ang kanilang layunin dahil sa presensya ng US at Australian warships.

Ilang beses na tayong nagsagawa ng Balikatan exercises at drills kasama ang mga ibang bansa, anong pumipigil sa ating gobyerno na magsagawa ng joint patrol kung saan mga mangingisda naman ang manginginabang.

Nothing truly cares more than a person who ensures that you eat right, get the necessary nutrition for your body and will value your convenience. This is where both new owners Edna Harlan (53), a vegetable supplier, and Olga Manuel (73), a nutritionist and dietitian, established their food care when they decided to do a makeover to the old canteen of Laguna State Polytechnic University–Los Baños Campus (LSPU-LBC). From a dream that started from two people with food enthusiasm into a reality that will feed thousands of the campus’ populations.

After six months of preparation and renovation, they were able to have a soft opening just last Monday, May 20. The soft opening was to determine and navigate procedures, processes and accommodation that will serve every student, faculty members and staff before their grand opening on June 1.

Fresh, clean and cozy is the new look of the renewed canteen. Dining area with a 60 sitting capacity surrounded by plants that helps with the air flow, clean kitchen and comfort room for crews for a better workflow, segregated boxes for proper waste management, and free drinkable water supply for the customers are just the few ways Edna and Olga prioritize the comfort of their associates and subordinates.

Aside from a new ambiance there’s also a set of menus that will satisfy the taste buds of their consumers. Many variations are present, one dish for pork, chicken and fish, while there are three dishes for vegetables. As a nutritionist and the one who cooks, Ms. Olga ensured that their foods are not just nutritious, but also delicious. While Ms. Edna is in charge with the supplies, making certain that the meats are not frozen but fresh.

Given that they will handle a large population, they came up with strategies that will accommodate everyone. They worked on their takeout counter, serving food for people who’re in a hurry and in case it gets crowded. Satellites—food stalls that are located at distant departments—are also considered and will be operated by hired student assistants.

Despite their initial progress, they’ve encountered challenges during the renovation. There was a time that they had to spend more than the allotted budget because the place needs a lot of improvements. Dealing with renovation workers has not been easy; there were incidents of scams and agreements not being met. And so, they had to intervene and take part in the process themselves, doing tasks like painting and cementing.

Edna and Olga are not just focused in the present; they also have aspirations for the future. The canteen will undergo further upgrades by adding food stalls and variations inside such as vending machines, baked goods, and steamed food products.

It’s true that food services require meticulous effort and attention. With the collaboration of Edna and Olga, they hope to be able to cater the needs and tastes of thousands of the campus’ populations with a welcoming atmosphere, nutritious food and accommodating services.

Gender and Development (GAD) Unit of Laguna State Polytechnic University-Los Baños Campus (LSPU-LBC) organized a seminar themed: “Breaking Stereotypes: Navigating Gender Dynamics in Contemporary Society” at the university’s Lacson Gymnasium, May 24.

Karen Lagat Mercado, the speaker of the event and the Gender and Development Officer (GAD) of the Municipality of Los Baños, delivered a lecture in support of making the students aware of gender discrimination and fostering a more inclusive and respectful campus environment.

During the discussion, Mercado emphasized the importance of applying learned principles to combat gender discrimination and foster respect among students.

“Ang gusto lang natin is mai-apply talaga yung learning and maging open lalo and accepting yung campus natin sa diversity at sana mailagay sa plano na sinasabi nga, huwag natin ikakahon yung s*x sa one particular activities kada lugar,” she stated.

Moreover, she expressed her hope that students who experienced discrimination would feel safe as they would know that national laws exist against gender discrimination.

Cristine Buarao, a third-year student from Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSED), majoring in English, and one of the attendees, said that she felt recognized and had a great experience upon joining the seminar.

“Isang karangalan ang mapabilang sa mga ganoong uri ng seminar. Dito sa seminar, they also tackled about na tayo, we can break down the harmful stereotypes. Instead [of stereotyping], we should empower individuals for their unique qualities. Sa pagiging aware sa mga ganitong sitwasyon, isa itong hakbang to achieve and create a society that is fair and inclusive,” she added.

In commemoration of the outgoing members and the welcoming of the new Editorial Board, Bay Breeze Group of Publications (BBGP) held a graduation and turnover ceremony with the theme: “Acknowledging Stellar Glory; Cementing Indelible Legacy,” at the University Boardroom of Laguna State Polytechnic University-Los Baños Campus (LSPU-LBC), May 17.

The half-day event comprised special messages from the publication’s adviser, Dr. Glen Cortezano, and notable guest, head of human resources, Dr. Imee Sanchez; followed by the recognition of the graduates, turnover of the Editorial Board, and messages from the graduates.

Graduates were awarded with service awards, and a few were given special awards such as Editor-in-Chief Excellence Award, Outstanding Campus Journalist Award, Photojournalist of the Year Award, and Special Recognition as Campus Journalist.

In her special message, Dr. Cortezano reassured the graduates that regardless of their departure, they still have a place to return to, one where they are always welcomed.

“Mamimiss ko kayo, good luck, and you are always welcome. Mayroon kayong tahanan dito na babalikan. Mayroon kayong Bay Breeze, mayroon kayong office,” as per Dr. Cortezano.

Meanwhile, Dr. Sanchez imparted a few pieces of advice for the graduates as they move forward to the new chapters of their lives.

“Just be a good person, you will never regret kung ano man iyong tahakin ninyo because guided kayo ng puso ninyo. And syempre do it also with some brains, hindi naman pwedeng puro puso lang tayo,” she said.

Lastly, BBGP extends its warmest appreciation to those who made the event possible: University President, Dr. Mario R. Briones; Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA), Dr. Eden C. Callo; Campus Director, Atty. Rushid Jay S. Sancon; Head of Human Resources, Dr. Imee Sanchez; Office of Student Affairs and Services (OSAS) Chairperson, Dr. Flora H. Salandanan; Accounting Office; and LSPU’s studentry.
