ICT Week 2025: Liderato at Inobasyon, Buhay na Buhay sa Pamumuno ni Jamaica Capitle

Hindi lamang tungkol sa teknolohiya ang ICT Week 2025 sa Arellano University - Andres Bonifacio Campus. Sa pamumuno ni Ms. Jamaica Capitle, Pangulo ng Jr. League of Information Technology Education Students, naging higit pa itong selebrasyonโ€”isa itong pagdiriwang ng pagkamalikhain, dedikasyon, at pagsasama-sama ng mga digital innovators.

Sa kanyang pahayag, binigyang-diin ni Capitle ang kahalagahan ng teknolohiya at ang papel ng mga kabataan sa hinaharap, โ€œPara sa ating mga digital leaders ng hinaharap, sana makita natin ang ating skill hindi lamang bilang talent pero bilang isang bagay na magagamit natin to innovate, create, and transform lives because thatโ€™s our role as ICTs.โ€

Isa sa pinakainabangang bahagi ng linggo ang โ€œMake Me a Robot!: Functional Robot Making Competitionโ€ kung saan nilikha ng mga estudyante ang kanilang mga robot gamit hindi lamang ang teknolohiya kundi pati na rin ang kanilang talino at puso. Ang mga sigawan at palakpakan ay tila hindi lamang sumasalamin sa tagumpay ng ICT Week, kundi sa kahusayan ng mga estudyante sa paglikha ng makabagong solusyon sa modernong problema.

Bukod sa robot-making competition, ibaโ€™t ibang aktibidad ang inihanda para sa mga estudyanteโ€”mula sa โ€œAdobe Photoshop Workshopโ€ hanggang sa โ€œCyber Legendsโ€ na nagbibigay-inspirasyon sa mga kabataang may pangarap sa larangan ng teknolohiya.

Kaniya ring ibinahagi ang paniniwala na ang teknolohiya ay hindi lamang tungkol sa gadgets at programming. Naniniwala si Capitle na dapat nating pahalagahan ang mga naunang innovator na nagbigay-daan upang maging posible at makabago ang teknolohiya, dahil ginawa nila ito upang gawing magaan at maayos ang modernong pamumuhay. Binigyang-diin niya na hindi lamang ito tungkol sa akademiko, pati rin ito sa sipat at pagmamahal, na siyang nagbibigay-lakas sa kumikislap na kinabukasan.

Ang ICT Week 2025 ay patunay na sa tamang liderato at kolaborasyon, kayang magtagumpay ng anumang proyekto. Sa pamamagitan ng inspirasyon mula kay Jamaica Capitle at ng Jr. League, malinaw ang mensahe, sa mundo ng teknolohiya, walang imposible.

But what I think should be embedded in you is critical thinking, and with it comes your RESPONSIBILITY and ETHICS. Kasi 'pag mas critical thinkers kayo, mas makaka-create kayo ng stories with impact, sabi ko nga kanina, stories that could change your community, one story at a time. So manalo o matalo sa mga journalism competition but if you have the ability to think critically, hindi lang siya sa journalism magagamit ha but in all aspects of life, there's already victory in it because you can think on your own feet."

๐ˆ๐ ๐๐‡๐Ž๐“๐Ž๐’ | Arellano University celebrated the opening of National Book Week with the theme: "Magbasa, Mangarap, at Magdiwang"

The event kicked off with a vibrant character parade, where students from JHS AND SHS dressed as their favorite literary and fictional characters, bringing beloved stories to life. Adding to the excitement, the mascot made a special appearance, entertaining the crowd and encouraging students to embrace the world of books.

A highlight of the celebration was the opening of a book fair, featuring a diverse collection of books, including bestsellers, academic materials, and childrenโ€™s stories. The fair provided an excellent opportunity for attendees to explore and purchase books at discounted prices. Through these activities, Arellano University successfully fostered a love for reading while promoting creativity and community involvement.

Held every January 9, it commemorates the transfer (Traslacion) of the centuries-old image of the Black Nazarene from Intramuros to Quiapo Church in 1787. The life-sized statue, believed to possess miraculous powers, represents Jesus Christ carrying the cross and has become a symbol of faith, hope, and healing for many Filipinos.

During the Traslacion, barefoot devotees endure the challenging procession, hoping to touch the image or its rope as an act of devotion and penance. Amidst prayers and chants of โ€œViva Seรฑor Nazareno!โ€, they seek blessings, miracles, and spiritual renewal. This deep expression of faith highlights the enduring connection between the Filipino people and the Black Nazarene, a devotion passed down through generations.

Sabi nila, ako raw ang kahihiyan ng pamilya. Sa bawat kibit-balikat ng aking ama, ramdam ko ang pagbitaw niya sa pangarap ng isang lalaking tagapagmana. Sa bawat dasal ng aking ina, palihim kong naririnig ang pakiusap niyang sana magising akong โ€œtama.โ€ Pero, Papa Jesus, tama ba na akoโ€™y itakwil nila dahil lang sa hindi ko magawang itago ang sarili ko?

Minsan, naiisip koโ€”bakit nga ba ako bading? Bakit ako binigyan ng pusong nagmamahal sa paraang kasuklam-suklam sa mata ng iba? Ako ba ang pagkakamali? Ano bang kasalanan ko para iparamdam nila na hindi ako karapat-dapat mahalin?

Sa aming hapag-kainan, bawat salitaโ€™y tila punyal.
โ€œBakit ka ganyan kumilos?"
"Bakit ka ganyan magsalita?"
"Maging lalaki ka nga!โ€
At sa bawat sagot ko ng, โ€œGanito po ako,โ€ ang sagot nilaโ€™y katahimikang mas malakas pa sa sigaw. Papa Jesus, kasalanan ba ang maging totoo sa sarili? Bakit kailangan kong itago ang bahagi ng kaluluwa ko para lang tanggapin nila ako?

Sa paaralan, hindi ko na mabilang ang mga pagkakataong napahiya ako.
โ€œBakla!"
"Mahina!โ€
Sigawan nila, tila bawat salitaโ€™y batong ipinupukol sa pagkatao ko. Pero hindi ko kayang bawiin ang tawa ko, ang pagkakakilanlan ko. Kailangan ko bang magmakaawa para lamang tratuhin na tao?

May mga gabi, Papa Jesus, kung saan hiniling kong sanaโ€™y hindi na lang ako ganito. Sanaโ€™y naging โ€œtamaโ€ ako sa paningin ng iba. Pero sino ba ang nagtatakda ng tama o mali? At bakit ako, na sa simpleng pagmamahal lang naman nagkakasala, ang kailangang magdusa?

Naaalala ko ang kanta ng Ben & Ben:
"โ€˜๐˜ฟ๐™ž ๐™ ๐™– ๐™จ๐™–๐™ฎ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ, โ€˜๐™™๐™ž ๐™ ๐™–๐™ž๐™ก๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ข๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ฎ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ,

Papa Jesus, totoo ba โ€˜yon? Na hindi ako sayang? Na hindi ko kailangang magpaliwanag? Pero paano ko paniniwalaan iyon kung mismong pamilya ko, lipunan ko, at minsan kahit sarili ko ay sinasabing wala akong halaga?

Sa bawat gabi ng pag-iisa, iniisip ko kung bakit ganoon ang buhay ko. Ano bang mali sa pagmamahal? Bakit ang puso ko, na handang magmahal ng wagas, ay kailangang husgahan? Papa Jesus, bakit ang salitang "bading" ay tila sumpa sa mundong ito?

Pero alam mo, Papa Jesus, sa kabila ng lahat ng ito, natutunan kong hawakan ang sarili kong kamay. Natutunan kong ngumiti sa harap ng salamin, kahit na minsan ay napapaisip pa rin kung bakit ako ganito. Tinuro mo sa akin na ang pagmamahal mo ay walang kondisyon, kahit ano pang tingin ng mundo.

Kayaโ€™t sa bawat dasal ko ngayon, hindi na โ€œSana hindi ako badingโ€ ang sinasabi ko. Ang sinasabi ko na lang, โ€œSanaโ€™y dumating ang araw na matanggap nila ako.โ€ Sanaโ€™y dumating ang araw na ang mundoโ€™y maging mas mabait sa mga tulad ko.

At sa huling pagkakataon, Papa Jesus, nais kong itanong ito sa Iyo. Kung ikaw ang lumikha sa akin, bakit ako kailangang husgahan ng iba?
Kung ikaw ang nagbigay sa akin ng pusong ito, bakit nila pinipilit na itoโ€™y pigilan?
At kung ikaw ang Diyos ng pagmamahal, bakit tila walang lugar para sa pagmamahal kong ganito?

Pero sa kabila ng lahat ng ito, nananatili ako. Ako, ang bading na napipilay ngunit hindi kailanman bumibitaw. Ako, ang anak mong nagmamahal, kahit sa isang mundong mahirap mahalin.

Papa Jesus, salamat sa sagot na hindi kailangang ipaliwanag ang pagmamahal ko, dahil ang pagmamahal ay ikaw. At sa iyong mata, akoโ€™y mahalaga.

Ang araw na ito ay nagpapahiwatig ng kanyang pagkamatay noong 1896 at nagsisilbing paalala sa kanyang adbokasiya para sa reporma, pagmamahal sa bayan, at laban ng mga Pilipino para sa kalayaan.

Mabuhay ang dakilang alay ng ating pambansang bayani sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas!

๐—ฆ๐—ฎ ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜„ ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ธ๐—ผ

Sa bawat simoy ng hangin, nadarama ko ang pagsapit ng pasko. Mga kampanang kumakalampag sa bawat simbahan, mga p**o bumbong na sumisipol, mga batang abot tenga ang ngisi dahil sa pamasko na kanilang nahingi. Ngunit lingid sa aking nararamdaman, hindi na ito ang paskong laging inaabangan. Marahil siguro ay nagbabago ang panahon, lumilipas na ang bawat kahapon na kung dati ay laging busog ang aking bulsa, ngayoโ€™y maski singkong duling ay wala.

Dati, kamiโ€™y naghahanda, masigla ang bawat isa, nagkakantahan dito, nagsasalo-salo roon, pero ngayon, damang dama ang pag-iisa, sa bawat sulok ng kwarto ay ramdam ang lungkot na para bang semana santa.

Noon, sa malamig na gabi ay ramdam ang init ng pagmamahalan, sa tawanan at kulitan ng aming tahanan, subalit lahat ng iyon ay nabaon na sa galit at tila limot na ng bawat isa.

Sana sa mga susunod pang mga pasko ay mabago ang ihip ng hangin, maibalik kung ano ang dati at nawaโ€™y sa mga kasunod pang pag-ilaw ng mga parol at pagkumpas ng gitara na sumasaliw sa mga himig pampasko ay muling magliyab ang pag-ibig at ang diwa ng pasko.

Sa una'y apoy, nagbabagang alab,
Ngunit ngayoโ€™y tila usok na payapa't tahimik,
Ang mga ngiti mo'y pilit kong sinisilip,
Sa likod ng pader ng damdaming nanlalamig.

Paano nga ba naging ganito?
Ang araw ay tila nagkulay-abo,
Bawat yakap moโ€™y parang isang alimuom,
Na sa halip magdulot ng init, naging hamog ng lungkot.

Hindi maramot ang pag-ibig, alam ko,
Pero tila nauupos na ang sigla nito,
Ginuguhit ko ang mga alaala, ngunit binubura mo,
Sinusubok ko, ngunit bakit parang ikaw ay laging layo?

Hindi kita bibitawan, kahit mahirap,
Sa pagitan ng lamig, akoโ€™y maghihintay sa init,
At kung sakaling di mo na maramdaman ang naunang hangarin,
Hayaan mong mahalin kita sa paraang ikakadurog ko.
