From Pen to Patriotism: Rizal’s Legacy in the Fight for Freedom
By: Lourielle Ainsley T. Valdez

Today marks the 128th Rizal Day. We honor the life and sacrifices of Dr. Jose Rizal, also known as José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda. He was a polymath, patriot, writer, and revolutionist. He published his novel entitled Noli me Tangere (The Social Cancer) and its sequel, El Filibusterismo (The Reign of Greed). These works exposed the injustices and abuses committed by the Spanish colonial government and clergy in the Philippines, which established him as the foremost spokesman for the Philippine reform movement. He then published an annotated edition (1890; reprinted 1958) of Antonio Morga’s Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas, trying to show that the indigenous people of the Philippines had a long history prior to the arrival of the Spaniards. Then he became the leader of the propaganda movement, writing numerous pieces for its newspaper, La Solidaridad. He also created political programs including the Philippines' integration as a province of Spain, representation in the Cortes (the Spanish parliament), the replacement of Spanish friars with Filipino priests, freedom of assembly and expression, and legal equality for Filipinos and Spaniards.

He founded a nonviolent reform society, the Liga Filipina, in Manila, and he was sent to Dapitan in northwest Mindanao. He stayed in exile for the following four years. In 1896, the Katipunan, a Filipino nationalist secret society, revolted against the Spanish. The military arrested and prosecuted Rizal for sedition, despite Rizal having no ties to that organization and no involvement in the revolt. After being found guilty, he was publicly executed by a firing squad in Manila.

Rizal Day celebrates Rizal's principles of nationalism and reform, as well as his contributions to Philippine society. It commemorates Rizal's legacy and reaffirms an awareness of national identity. His principles of patriotism, truthfulness, and dedication to the development of the people have inspired generations. His immense wisdom and prudence left a significant impact on us. He was truly a brave patriot who fought for us to the furthest extent ’til his last breath.
Dr. Jose Rizal, we stand in awe of you.

The SANROK SA RINGRING FESTIVAL 2024 was held in Morong, Rizal. This festival showcases the magnificent talents, diverse cultures, and backstories of the Morongueños through dance performances from each barangay.

The festival took place on December 16, 2024, at 5 p.m. It began with a parade of one-minute dances from each barangay as a preview of their upcoming performances later on. Aside from the performers, the Municipality of Morong Officials, such as Mayor Sidney Soriano, Sangguniang Bayan Councilors, Barangay Captains, Sangguniang Barangay Kagawad, SK Federation of Morong and Teachers from public and private schools also joined the parade.

The festival continued in the Morong Town Plaza. While waiting, the hosts ask the audience for some words that are widely used in Morong to show the people's creative, witty, and ironic culture when it comes to coining new phrases.

Following that, the main part of the festival occurred. It began with an opening dance, singing of the national anthem, and introducing the special guest. The performances, which had been much anticipated, eventually arrived. It began with an excellent performance by Barangay CCL, followed by Barangay San Pedro, and continued exceptionally to the final performers, Barangay San Guillermo.

The festival concluded successfully, with Barangay Lagundi taking second place, Barangay San Pedro taking first place, and Barangay San Guillermo with the theme of "KALABAW, ANG BAYANI NG TANIMAN" emerging as the SANROK SA RINGRING STREET DANCE CHAMPION for the year 2024.

Weight of a Sentence
By Julia Joana De Leon

Words are thrown, names are called
Are we really that easy to judge?
We stab and damage those already wounded,
Glancing with disdain and holding a grudge.

Hurtful words are spoken to innocent strangers.
Are we truly worthy of this gift of speech?
When all we did was speak resentment.
And let our words drift further out of reach?

We talk, spread anything about anybody,
anywhere.
For words are delicate, powerful, and free.
Yet why don’t we talk about their scars and sadness?
Is it because their pain is not felt by you and me?

We may never see one’s heart’s battles,
But we can use our words to connect.
We can never understand how they truly feel,
So we shall first think about how impactful our words can affect.

We look through the outside, the physical, the visible.
Never what’s seen through the eyes, the heart, the soul.

Author’s note: Life in this world is already painful for us. Let’s not be purposely cruel, we are all struggling, though differently, we all are fighting our own battles. Spread love to those who are unloved, kindness to the unkind, light to the lost, strength to the weak, peace to the restless, and comfort to the weary. We are gifted with voices and speech, let us speak with compassion, not with cruelty.

Undying Hope
By Ivan Clark DF. San Juan

As the Super Typhoon "Pepito" approaches, remember that even the fiercest storms eventually pass, leaving room for restoration and growth.

A simple gesture like checking up on someone can make a huge difference; it serves as a reminder that we are not alone in times of calamities. Let this moment remind us of our collective strength, the bonds that hold us together, and the courage within to face hardships.

Together, no obstacle can hold us down, no calamity can tear us apart, and no problem can go unsolved. Hold on together as we face another adversity; hold on to hope, for it is the light that guides us in the dark. After every storm, the sun shines even brighter.

Laboratory Schools Investiture of Scouts 2024

By Ezra Faith Q. Gamboa
Edited by Arianne Danielle S. Macarulay

The investiture for learners in grades 1, 4, and 7 took place on November 15, 2024. It began with a warm greeting from the "Kawan Leader", Prof. Mary Ann Clemente, followed by the Entries of Colors led by selected SOP officers.

Prof. Jhune Mark Mallari then delivered the opening remarks, which were followed by a message from Dr. Niclie L. Tiratira, the campus director.

The ceremony began with the scouts lighting candles, followed by the pledge and laws of the scouts. The neckerchief and pin were then placed around their necks by their proud parents. The same thing happened with the boy scouts; the scouts sang the GSP/BSP song as the last segment of the ceremony. It concluded with the closing remarks from our principal, Prof. Rosalie F. De Lemon.

Being a scout is a privilege that comes with great responsibility. As newly invested scouts, it is expected that they uphold the standards of integrity, teamwork, and discipline. By abiding by the pledge and laws of the scouts, it's more than just growing into confident and skilled leaders, but also helping create a team that can achieve extraordinary things. Every action that they take reflects the honor of being a scout, and their dedication will inspire others to do the same.
