๐๐๐๐ | Arch Majors Launch New Creative Production
The College of Architecture (COA) introduced on May 25 its latest creative production group, "Dokumentaryo ni Apo," also known as "Dok. Apo."
Reiiel Ann Reyes, an alumni of the BS Architecture program and the producer of Dok. Apo expressed her excitement about being a pioneer of the new organization.
"Dok. Apo stays true to its essence: a platform for creative production," Reyes said in an interview with The Premier Post.
She emphasized the group's commitment to fearlessly sharing their creativity with the world and fostering a passion for artistic expression.
Reyes added that they aim to uphold a positive reputation while representing Columban College, Inc. (CCI) and COA.
"The group fosters an open-minded and collaborative environment, welcoming all suggestions and making our journey together enjoyable," she said.
Dok. Apo aims to showcase the talents of architecture students through various art forms, including filmography, photography, illustration, graphic design, merchandise creation, and magazines.
The organization provides an extracurricular platform for students to express their creativity and hone their skills.
Dok. Apo is set to be registered as an official student organization in the upcoming academic year 2024-2025.
While primarily targeting architecture majors, Dok. Apo is open to collaborations with students from other departments who share similar interests.

๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ | CASED ELECTS NEW OFFICERS FOR AY 24-25
The College of Arts, Sciences, and Education (CASED) at Columban College, Inc. (CCI) held its annual General Elections on August 19 at the Convery Hall.
The election resulted in the selection of new officers for the Arts and Sciences, and Education, Network and Development (ASCEND) Central Council for academic year (A.Y.) 2024-2025.
Leading the newly elected council is Althea Pamintuan, a third-year Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) student, who secured the ASCEND presidency with a 93 out of 138 votes cast.
Pamintuan expressed her gratitude for the support of her fellow CASEdians, acknowledging the significance of her victory during her third term on the central council.
"Upon winning the presidency, I was initially unsure how to feel. Despite my nervousness during the ASCEND election, the overwhelming support and trust of my fellow CASEdians made this win truly special," Pamintuan stated.
She also pledged to make CASEd the leading department among the six colleges at CCI and committed to supporting the 14 student organizations under CASED throughout her term.
Other key positions in the ASCEND Central Council were also filled.
Rilleanne Rose Sabal, a senior from the Political Science (BAPOS) program, was elected as Vice President for Arts and Sciences, marking a back-to-back victory for BAPOS candidates in this position.
Angelito Basilan was elected as Vice President for Education, while Jasmine Ribot, Sarah Delos Reyes, and Rich Henson Robles were elected as Secretary, Treasurer, and Public Information Officer (PIO), respectively, all serving as first-time ASCEND officers.
In addition, first-year student Richard Ivan Navarro, from the BA Communications program and the younger brother of former ASCEND President Ivana Navarro, was elected as the first-year level representative. Kyla Azarcon, Roselyn Almonte, and Ashly Petacio were elected as representatives for the second, third, and fourth-year levels, respectively.
Pamintuan reaffirmed her commitment to continuing the department's annual activities, including the popular Friendstival, and pursuing other future endeavors that will further enhance the CASEd community.

๐๐๐๐ | CCI TO BEEF UP RFID SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED STUDENT SECURITY
Columban College, Inc. (CCI) has announced plans to improve its Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) system, a crucial security measure that tracks student attendance and notifies parents of their childrenโs arrivals and departures on campus.
"The parents are informed that their children have entered and left the campus," said Jose Elex Gumban, Director of Security Affairs, stressing the primary purpose of the system.
The RFID system, utilized through students' school IDs, covers both the Basic Education and College Departments.
Despite initially including a facial recognition feature at the main gate, this aspect of the RFID system has been suspended due to its inaccuracy and high cost, with Gumban noting that the software could run into hundreds of thousands of pesos.
Gumban reassured that the RFID system complies with the data privacy act, ensuring the safeguarding of student information recorded by the system.

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ | Education Betrayed
The education system, already fractured by the pandemic, now faces further turmoil due to its recent mismanagement under VP Sara Duterte. Her lack of experience and competence in handling public education has only deepened the crisis, leaving students, particularly those without access to digital resources, struggling.
VP Duterte's resignation on July 19 was inevitable. Her tenure was marred by scandal and incompetence, from the mishandling of confidential funds to the botched attempt at selling DepEd laptops. Despite her claim of resigning out of compassion for educators and students, the reality is starkly different. Her two-year stint brought no meaningful reforms, only exacerbating existing problems.
The classroom deficit of 159,000, the dismal performance of Filipino students in global assessments, and teachers overloaded with administrative work are just a few of the issues that worsened under her watch. Confusing changes to the school calendar further illustrate the chaos she left behind.
Under Duterte, the Philippines' ranking in the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) survey remained abysmal. The country languished at the bottom, with no significant progress from 2018 to 2022. Her leadership failed to elevate the education system from the depths of international shame.
Appointing someone so ill-equipped to lead the Department of Education reveals a troubling prioritization of political alliances over the future of our nation's education. This decision has dire consequences, highlighting a betrayal of our students and educators.
With Mr. Angara now stepping in, there is a glimmer of hope. We must hold him accountable to understand and address the critical role of education in shaping our country's future. The public education system requires nurturing and steadfast leadership, not disruption by those who lack vision and competence.
Education is the cornerstone of our nationโs future. We demand urgent, effective solutions to revitalize our schools and ensure a brighter path for our children. The stakes are too high for anything less.

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ | CROSS OVER OLD WAYS
"Papunta ka palang, pabalik na ako." This phrase, often repeated by my elders, implies that their wisdom surpasses mine. While I respect their experience, the recent Pulse Asia Research Inc. survey on the 2025 senatorial race challenges this notion.
The survey, conducted in March 2024, revealed a familiar trend: political dynasties and actors vying for a return to power dominate the top spots. This is disheartening. Though the survey didnโt specify the respondentsโ ages, it suggests that many Filipinos haven't learned from past mistakes.
The majority of voters in recent years are in their forties and older. According to the Southeast Asian countryโs election commission, Filipinos born after the 1980s make up over half of the more than 60 million registered voters. Shouldnโt the elders, with their greater life experience, know better? Yet, the survey results make me question when these voters will finally learn.
One major obstacle is limited access to information. The 2020 Census of Population and Housing shows that 43.9% of Filipino households lack internet access. This digital divide hampers their ability to access diverse viewpoints and critical information about candidates. Consequently, many rely on familiar names, unable to research and scrutinize their backgrounds.
Moreover, thereโs a tendency among some older voters to resist learning new things. Information is readily available, but a lack of interest or complacency with their current lifestyle leads to apathy about political choices. They believe that changes in leadership won't significantly impact their lives.
Additionally, there's a reluctance to admit mistakes. Clinging to an "I-know-better-than-you" mindset, they often double down on poor choices rather than acknowledging errors. This cognitive bias, where they seek information that confirms their beliefs and ignore contradictory evidence, stifles change.
Reflecting on past elections, it's clear that those who lived through martial law were among those who helped reelect the Marcoses. Conversely, the youth, who were more enlightened during the 2020 Election, faced suppression. Itโs disheartening to see the very people who should be safeguarding our future making choices that undermine it.
We now stand at a crucial juncture. The upcoming election offers an opportunity to transform the โnext generationโ into the โnow generation.โ Itโs time to break free from the past, embrace new ideas, and refuse to be sidelined due to our youth. The future is in our hands, and we have the power to turn the dream of change into reality. As the "now generation," it's time to declare, "Nakabalik na kayo, nagbago na kami ng landas."

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ | The Urgent Need for Genuine Student Leaders
It's time the student organizations of CCI, and especially the SAO, stopped treating student elections as mere annual traditions where positions are shuffled from one underachieving candidate to another. This practice perpetuates an ineffective system and results in the election of apathetic student leaders who lack the passion and commitment required for genuine leadership.
According to the 2022 CCI student manual handbook, chapter 7 of the Guidelines for Student Organizations, organizations are granted the authority to operate only if they promote their common interests and adhere to the school's morals and policies. Yet, the reality is a far cry from these ideals.
Gone are the days when seats for the Student Leadership Programs and Oath-Taking ceremonies, organized annually by the Student Affairs Office (SAO) and the IDCC, were eagerly filled. The reason for this decline is evident: many elected student officials are not true leaders; they are merely warm bodies filling vacant positions to maintain the status quo.
In the past, students actively campaigned, formed parties, and competed fiercely for positions to serve their institution and peers. However, as elections have transitioned to Google links and social media platforms, students are now left uninformed about the candidates and deprived of the opportunity to understand their advocacies and plans for the upcoming academic year.
This shift to digital convenience has bred complacency among aspiring student leaders. Instead of pushing their boundaries and challenging their leadership potential, they rely on superficial online campaigns that lack depth and engagement.
They seem to forget that these initial leadership roles are critical for their development into the effective community leaders our society desperately needs.
The Premier Post recognized this issue and, in 2022, conducted recorded interviews for aspiring IDCC candidates to promote their advocacies, experience, and approaches to addressing students' concerns. This effort highlighted the importance of competent representation and authentic student leadership.
Such initiatives should be increased to foster informed voting and strong leadership within the campus community.
Balancing organizational commitments with academic performance, especially in a post-pandemic world, is undeniably challenging. However, this is no excuse for aspiring leaders to neglect their responsibilities. Being a school representative means being deeply aware of and concerned about the issues affecting our community. This role mirrors that of government officials, and entering a student organization should be driven by a genuine passion for leadership and a commitment to serving and voicing the concerns of fellow students.
The time for complacency is over. It is crucial for CCI's student organizations to prioritize the election of passionate, dedicated, and competent leaders who will truly advocate for the interests of the student body and uphold the values of our institution.

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ | RISE ABOVE SHALLOW WATERS
The Philippines, renowned for its stunning natural beauty, rich biodiversity, and strategic location, stands at a critical juncture. With escalating tensions between China and the Philippines over the territorial dispute on the West Philippine Sea (WPS), it is evident that the world recognizes our immense potential. It is imperative that we, as a nation, stand united and resolute in defending our sovereignty and asserting our rightful claims.
China remains unyielding in the decades-long dispute over WPS. Despite the South China Sea Arbitral Ruling on July 12, 2016, which invalidated their historical claims delineated by the โnine-dash line,โ they persist in harassing our local fisherfolk and military forces. This blatant disregard for international law underscores the urgent need for us to stand firm and claim what is truly ours from the very beginning.
First and foremost, we must not give up the WPS because it is not just the territory's integrity at stake but our sovereignty as well. This challenges the Philippinesโ control and jurisdiction over these waters and their resources.
Abandoning control over these waters and their resources weakens the Philippinesโ authority and allows other nations to bully and belittle us when indeed, we are in a determined fight. Former Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio has emphatically asserted that we are on the right path in our struggle for the West Philippine Sea (WPS). With international law firmly on our side, our resolve to defend our rightful claims are not just justified but imperative.
In addition, countless Filipinos depend on the West Philippine Sea (WPS) for their livelihood. This vital body of water encompasses around 40% of the Philippinesโ maritime domain as per the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA). Meanwhile, former Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources head Asis Perez mentioned that 12% of the worldโs annual fish catch, including the WPS.
The significance of the WPS extends far beyond mere territorial claims or military considerations; it is a lifeline for many Filipinos whose lives and futures are deeply intertwined with this region.
Lastly, the primary reason we believe the Chinese government is adamant about maintaining control over the West Philippine Sea (WPS) is the immense natural oil and gas reserves within the territory.
According to the Department of Energy, with an estimated six million barrels of oil and 12 billion cubic feet of natural gas, this invaluable energy source is crucial for our economic stability and growth. It saves us substantial amounts of money and is vital in preventing economic stagnation. This, we firmly believe, is the core of the ongoing dispute.
On the other hand, not all Filipinos feel the impact of the territorial dispute over the West Philippine Sea. Some Filipinos may lack a full understanding of their nationโs strategic and economic power, leading to misguided arguments. In May 2024, Lanao del Sur 1st District Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong called out some pro-China FilipinosโFilipinos who condone and defend Chinaโs aggressive behavior towards our country. He even regarded them as โChinese Apologistsโ who acted as Chinaโs mouthpiece.
At these times, we are not just fighting against foreign countries but within this nation, we also have another battle that we need to faceโthose people who become an agent of
misinformation and ignorance.
This is the moment that we do not merely celebrate our independence; it is a time to exercise it with unwavering resolve. We must stand firm and united. Our love for this country empowers us to transcend boundaries and limitsโit makes us brave, it makes us wiser, it makes us stronger.
A country with astonishing views and scenery is beautiful, but a nation that recognizes its great potential and abilities is powerful. The fight for the West Philippine Sea goes beyond any weapon. Now, more than ever, the Philippines needs its people to believe in itself and stand resolute in defending our sovereignty.
Defending the West Philippine Sea is not just about safeguarding our waters; it is also about surging beyond inferiority and proving that, like other nations, we can rise to the tide of supremacy.

๐๐๐๐ | NEW A.Y. OPENS W/ MINI CONCERT, GAMES
Columban College, Inc. (CCI) ushered in the new academic year with a vibrant celebration on July 29, introducing a new tradition called "La Apertur," aimed at providing freshmen and returning students with a memorable start to their college journey.
Organized by the Interdepartmental Coordinating Council (IDCC), the event was designed to create lasting memories for new students.
Rev. Fr. Raymann G. Catindig, CCI President, emphasized the Institution's dedication to promoting a high standard of education and community engagement in his welcome speech.
"Expect also that the institution will provide fun and meaningful student activities to nurture a happy learning environment," he said.
La Apertur showcased a variety of performances, highlighting the talents of Columbanites in singing, dancing, and music, and engaging students with interactive games.
Freshman Ivan Navarro found inspiration in the Kaisahan Dance performances, saying, "Ang ganda kasi ng costume nila tapos habang pinapanood ko sila, parang gusto ko rin magperform ng ganoon."
Andrea Abanes, IDCC President, expressed her satisfaction with the event's success.
"Okay din naman pala siya [La Apertur] kasi kung gusto lang din matapos, matatapos siya. Tapos 'yung will na lang din na maging remarkable 'yung event kasi kung freshman din ako, ito rin 'yung ilolookforward ko," she told The Premier Post.
The celebration was well-received by both students and administrators.
Dr. Tina Presto Dabu, Director of the Office of Student Affairs (OSA), praised the display of student talent.
"Ang daming talented. Tignan mo, hindi sila natatap, nagtatago sila sa dilim. Ngayon, nakita natin," she said.
Joan Arlanza, faculty member of the College of Business and Accountancy (CBA) suggested more extensive preparation for future welcoming parties to enhance the experience.
"Hindi siya pwedeng abrupt. Kailangan prepared siya. Sabi ko nga dapat second semester at saka pagmeeting-an ng lahat. At saka involvement ng lahat," she explained, stressing the importance of comprehensive planning and the involvement of all student organizations.
According to her, if planning begins as early as the second semester and all student organizations are given assignments, the focus could be on surprising the first-year students.
Arlanza also emphasized that this approach would make the event more special for them.

๐๐๐๐ | DRRMO HIGHLIGHTS IMPORTANCE OF DISASTER PREPAREDNESS DURING SEMINAR
Columban College, Inc. (CCI) hosted its inaugural school-based seminar for the 2024-2025 academic year on Friday, July 12, at the Convery Hall.
The event focused on disaster awareness and preparedness as part of Resilience Month.
Themed "Bantayog ng Katatagan at Pagbubuklod sa Layuning Kahandaan," the seminar underscored crucial aspects of disaster resiliency and awareness.
Speaker Jeffrey Lapid, Head II of the Olongapo City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (DRRMO), urged attendees to internalize the importance of such seminars.
"Sa atin din babalik iyong pagbabalewala natin," Lapid stated, emphasizing the significance of proactive disaster risk management.
He pointed out that Olongapo City is particularly prone to various hazards and noted that awareness and education are critical defenses.
Moreover, he warned against complacency, saying that overconfidence often leads to greater harm.
"Kung masiyado tayong complaisant, kung masiyado tayong relaxed, yung sinasabi natin na akala natin hindi tayo mapapahamak, yun pa ang nagiging dahilan bakit tayo napapahamak," Lapid explained.
Likewise, Mr. Robin Carlo Elepongga, another speaker, emphasized the distinct aspects of preparedness and resiliency.
According to him, it is acceptable to be at different levels of preparedness as long as there is growth.
"Hindi po masama na ang level of preparedness ng isang tao ay nasa starting level pa lang. At yung iba ay nasa medyo advanced na. Okay lang. As long as there is movement, there is growth," Elepongga said.
He highlighted further the indiscriminate nature of disasters, which affect everyone regardless of socioeconomic status, age, or gender.
Elepongga also stressed the need for special attention to vulnerable populations such as children, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities.
"Disasters know no barriers. Walang mayaman, walang mahirap, walang lalaki, walang bata, walang babae. Pero meron tayong mas kailangan bigyan ng pansin. Ang mga bata, senior citizen, PWDs," Elepongga added.
The Olongapo City DRRMO encouraged participants to prepare emergency disaster survival kits designed to last for 72 hours after a disaster.
