Christmas and New Year’s have always been special celebrations for many. They were filled with late nights, family gatherings, and moments of rest. They were also a time to reminisce—about goals that had been achieved, lessons learned, challenges that had been overcome, and dreams still forming. Now, it was time for a fresh start.

Jain walked through the hallways of UCLM. Despite feeling disappointed that the break was finally over, she found herself thinking about her friends.

As soon as she entered the classroom, her friends immediately jumped up to greet her. “Hey, Jain! We missed you so much!” one of them exclaimed. They even cracked a joke: “Hey, you’ve grown taller—did you jump at New Year’s?”

They sat down for a moment, taking time to breathe. Jain missed this—her friends’ cringey jokes, her classmates (annoying as they could be), and, of course, the times when they did their homework at school.

Jain and her friends shared their vacation experiences. All of them had enjoyed a memorable and happy New Year, and together, they prayed for many more years to come.

While breaks mean rest and celebration, having someone around can bring happiness. A new year is not just about returning to classes, but about appreciating the people and moments that make every journey meaningful.

After the Christmas food coma and New Year fireworks, reality check—classes resume this January 5 for SHS students. Ready or not, UCnians, it’s time to switch from holiday mode to student mode again. New year, new lessons, same “kapoy pero laban” attitude. Kita-kits sa campus!

As we welcome the new year, let us look back on the experiences that shaped us, not only the personal challenges we faced, but also the disasters that tested us as a community. Amid earthquakes and typhoons, we stood strong, proving that our resilience, unity, and hope are greater than any hardship. Despite everything, we are still here at the end of the year—grateful and ready to embrace another beginning.

This 2026, we welcome a fresh start with courage, faith in ourselves, and optimism. May this year be filled with abundant blessings, countless memories with our loved ones, and meaningful victories for us all.

Happy New Year, UCnians! 🎉🧡

Not every New Year arrives with fireworks. Some begin in stillness-when people come together, pause, and offer shared prayers and renewed hope. A moment of reflection where the year is welcomed through simple beginnings rather than celebration. May this year bring peace, growth, and moments of meaning for everyone.

Naging matagumpay ang Track and Field Team ng University of Cebu Lapu-lapu and Mandaue (UCLM) nang sila'y nag-uwi ng 70 medalya sa nagdaang Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) Athletics tournament na naganap sa Cebu City Sports Complex nitong ika-6 hanggang 7 ng Disyembre, 2025.

Nakamit ng koponan ng High School Girls at Boys ang ikalawang pwesto sa kabuuan ng palaro.

Sa tulong ng gabay ni Coach Angel Mark Sicad, umabot sa 28 medalya ang nasungkit ng mga SHS na atleta na kinabibilangan ng siyam na ginto, 10 pilak, at siyam na tanso.

Ayon sa High School Team Captain na si Princess Joyce Bontuyan, dumaan sila sa matinding pagsasanay na hindi lang sa pisikal na aspeto kundi sa mental na aspeto rin— sapagkat ang kanilang mga laro ay lubos na nakadepende sa pokus, disiplina, at teknikal na kasanayan.

"We trained almost every day to sharpen our abilities and improve our overall performance while also making it a priority to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle, knowing that a healthy body supports a strong and focused mind."

Dagdag rin ni Bontuyan, ipinatatag rin nila ang kanilang pananampalataya, na tumulong sa kanilang maging masigasig, matatag, at handa sa ilalim ng presyur.

Naging mapagpasalamat at mapagmalaki din ang koponan sa kanilang pagganap at pati na rin sa kinalabasan ng palaro. Ani ng Team Captain, ang kanilang mga resulta at medal tally ngayong taon ay mas matagumpay kaysa sa nakalipas na CESAFI 2024, na nagsisilbing patunay na ang kanilang pagsisikap, dedikasyon, at matinding pagsasanay ay nagbunga na.

"It has been very rewarding and motivating for the entire team to see our medals increase. What is more than the medals are the improvements in our performance in track and field events, especially in time and measurement events. This reflects our growth as athletes and our determination to keep pushing our limits."

Giit ni Bontuyan, umaasa sila na maaaring ipagpatuloy ng kanilang koponan ang antas ng pagganap nito at patuloy pa itong pagbutihin sa susunod na mga taon. | via Hannah Branzuela

Ngayong ika-30 ng Disyembre, ginugunita natin ang kabayanihan ni Dr. Jose Rizal—ang dakilang bayani na nag-alay ng kaniyang buhay para sa kalayaan ng Pilipinas. Ang araw na ito ay nagsisilbing paalala ng kaniyang sakripisyo, talino, tapang, at wagas na pagmamahal sa bayan, at nagsisilbi rin siyang inspirasyon sa bawat Pilipino na ipaglaban ang katotohanan, katarungan, at dangal ng ating bansa.

This year has been wonderful for Mira—meeting new friends, gaining new hobbies, and building a successful life. She was living the dream. However, there were times when it became challenging, exhausting, and difficult, to the point where she even considered giving up. Despite all the challenges she went through, she remained strong and learned to fight her own battles.

And now, she was here, standing in front of her balcony in the middle of the night. The cool air greeted her as she opened the door, and the distant sounds of passersby and the honking of cars created a calm background noise—a perfect moment.

Mira couldn’t help but breathe in relief. It was a meaningful moment for her after all the challenges she had overcome. She closed her eyes and clasped her hands together.

‘This year has been bittersweet for me,’ she prayed softly. ‘I learned that growth comes through hardship, that strength is built in moments of doubt, and that giving up is never the answer. I hope next year will be great, memorable, and filled with lessons that help me become better. Amen.’

Success is becoming a habit for University of Cebu Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue (UCLM) Senior High School (SHS) as two of its distinguished alumni have excelled in the recent 2025 Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT). For those peers and mentors who observed their growth, this success appeared to be a fitting culmination to years of hardwork, skill, and grit.

Audy Flores Payao Jr. not only became the top 4 with a rating of 94.20% but also commended as the first English major from UCLM to break into the ranks of LEPT topnotchers. Audy earned a Magna Cum Laude degree in BSED-English and was a consistent Academic Scholar, frequently featured on honor rolls and competition lists. Apart from academics, he discovered his love for public speaking, winning the championship title in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) Oratorical Competition 2024 and a 2nd-place finish in Private Schools Athletic Association (PRISAA). He also earned TESDA certification to further strengthen his edge.

In the meantime, Jan Kenrey Licayan paved his way to excellence. As a proud graduate of UCLM Senior High School, he earned 2nd place in the LEPT Secondary Level with a 94.60% rating. At the University of the Philippines Cebu, Licayan finished his Bachelor of Arts in Communication with Magna Cum Laude honors, graduating at the top of his class in 2024. He also received recognition for his work, claimed the 2nd Best Thesis and the title of Most Outstanding Student in Corporate Communications. Beyond academics, he demonstrated that his words had impact, securing the title in the Communicators of UP Extemporaneous Speaking in 2022 and achieving 2nd place in their Essay Writing contest the previous year.

Long before his UP days, Licayan was already making waves in UCLM SHS’s HUMSS strand. He finished with High Honors as the top of his class in 2020, and his talent for speaking shone early: 2nd place in UCLM Oration 2018, another 2nd in CESAFI Oration 2019, and a championship in UCLM Declamation 2019 that later earned him a spot representing the school in CESAFI Declamation 2020. He later pursued professional education courses at Cebu Technological University, where he often felt out of place among education majors. But it was that very sense of being different that fueled his drive and eventually helped him aced the board exam.

“It’s getting to be a habit,” the SHS Department proudly echoes, as Payao and Licayan join the growing list of alumni who bring honor to their alma mater. | via Yela Jane Arong
