Today, October 5, marks as the World Teachers' Day. In line with this, we honor the tireless efforts and dedication of educators who play a crucial role in shaping the future of society. They are the guiding lights that ignite the spark of knowledge and inspire students to reach their full potential. From early childhood education to higher academia, teachers invest not only their time but also their hearts into nurturing young minds. They go above and beyond their job descriptions, serving as mentors, counselors, and role models to their students. Teacher's Day is a reminder to express our gratitude and appreciation for their unwavering commitment to fostering a love for learning and creating a positive impact in the lives of countless individuals.

On this special day, we pay homage to the remarkable individuals who have dedicated their lives to the noble profession of teaching. Teachers possess the power to educate, inspire, and empower their students to become confident and capable individuals. Their classrooms are a haven of knowledge, where they impart not only academic lessons but also important life skills. They create a safe and inclusive space where students can freely express themselves and explore their passions. Through their guidance, teachers instill in their students a sense of curiosity, critical thinking, and a thirst for knowledge that will stay with them for a lifetime. Today, let's celebrate the incredible impact of teachers and express our heartfelt thanks for their unwavering commitment to shaping the future generation.

Panibagong hakbang patungo sa karangyaan,
Karangyaang inaasam-asam ng kahit na sinuman.
Pagpasok sa eskwela'y nalalapit nanaman,
Kung saan taon-taon nating pinag-hahandaan,

Bili dito, bili doon ng mga kagamitang ating kailangan,
Bag, papel, notebook, ballpen at iba pa.
Pagkakasyahin ang perang bigay ni mama't papa,
Dahil paghahanap nito'y hindi madali para sa kanila

Panibagong kabanata ating bubuksan,
Bilang ng mga kaibigan tiyak madadagdagan,
Mga bagong kaalaman nama'y matututunan,
Sa loob ng bagong paaralan na ating magiging pangalawang tahanan

Panibagong tawanan at asaran ating pag-sasamahan,
Panibagong hirap ating mararanasan,
Panibagong luha ating pupunasan,
Gastusin sa paaralan tiyak mahihirapan,
Ngunit 'di susuko para sa kaunlaran ng bayan.

Ikaw at ako,
Mga kapwa estudyante ko.
Handa na ba kayo?
Patungo sa panibagong kuwento?

Panibagong yugto, panibagong kabanata,
Ito ang simula ng panibagong istorya,
Sa buhay ng mag-aaral na hindi mapipigilan,
Ang unang araw ng ating pasukan.

Muling pagbabalik sa paaralan,
At paglimot sa bakasyong nakaraan,
Sapagkat paghuhubog ng ating kaalaman,
Ang siya namang ating pagtutuunan.

Mga kaklase ay atin nang makikita ulit,
Mukhang magsasama-sama nanaman ang mga makukulit,
Sa kwela ay hindi pahuhuli,
Lalo na yung mga boys sa row three.

Tula'y pinamagatang simula't wakas,
Dahil ito ang simula ng ating pakikipagsapalaran;
At siyang wakas ng mahabang pahingang ating dinanas,
Kaya't mag-handa na sa pasukang puno ng kapana-panabik na labanan.

"August 14"
By: Selwyn James Perez

As the summer sun drifts the sky with a golden hue,
Came in the dawn of August, an academic anew,
Where the halls once empty and quiet,
Will be filled soon with bustling and eager students.

From hesitant freshmen to vigorous seniors.
In an institution: that is a tapestry of million goals,
Noble scholars, stand cordial and tall.
Through laughter and tears, they'll weather each storm.

Awaken their minds and awaken their hearts.
Weave to embark on the labyrinth of learning,
To find triumph, on their route of dreams.
Striving on a voyage to unravel ahead,
For knowledge unchained, ideas astound.

On the fourteenth, a date of significance profound,
The opening of classes, a cycle of unbroken.
The baton of education, forever to be spoken,
A familiar embrace, an eternal paradigm.

For a 21-year-old Bicolano artist, “𝙇𝙪𝙗𝙞-𝙡𝙪𝙗𝙞 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙖 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙙, 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝𝙮 𝙫𝙚𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚.” This is what John Jeff Camasis wants to introduce to people.

Do you still remember his name?

A third-year student from Bachelor of Physical Education (BPEd) of Polangui Community College (PCC). He is also the head artist of The PCC Dimensions, the Official Student Publication of PCC.

His artworks are also known as 'hyper-realistic painting' because of its well-detailed and high-resolution results. Also, many of his artworks were commended and featured in TV 5, GMA, and ABS-CBN, including the 'Savage Mind: Arts, Books, Cinema' – a gallery in Naga City.

Recently, Jeff once again showed his exemplary artwork named 𝘓𝘶𝘣𝘪-𝘭𝘶𝘣𝘪 in Bikol Republik, an Art Exhibit by and for all Bicolano artists. The art exhibit started on March 5 and will end on March 15, 2023, at SM Megamall, Mandaluyong, Manila. The said exhibit was participated by three (3) groups; Salingoy Art Group, Bikol Expression, Kugos and with a special guest, Pancho Mistula Piano. Jeff is part of the Salingoy Art Group.

𝘓𝘶𝘣𝘪-𝘭𝘶𝘣𝘪, scientifically named as 𝘍𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘢, as a shrub or small tree that considered as the miniature version of the coconut palm, is a native plant/vegetable in Bicol.

According to the Salingoy Art Group, Bikol Republik is an ode to the Region, its culture, and its people. It is a nod to the Bikolnon sensibilities as the artists showcase their skills and their love for their roots. From contemporary, abstractions to classical pieces, our creatives put their best foot forward to show you the beauty of the Region.

Artists do not always create aesthetically admirable artworks, but they help people to appreciate even the hidden and weirdest thing around and John Jeff is one.
