LOOK | Mr. Gilbert Pajara of Vito L Belarmino Senior High School will be exercising his officiating prowess in the National Open Competition for Track and Field at ULTRA, Pasig City, May 8-12.

The event, which has six (6) categories - elite (Men and Women), junior (M&W), and youth (M&W) - will be participated in by different teams, local and international, like University Athletic Association of the Philippines or UAAP, National College Athletic Association or NCAA, some local clubs, and other teams overseas.

A technical official, Pajara will be serving as a field referee, which he has actively been doing since 2002.

The National Open is an annual event held to scout talents and discover new breed of Philippine Team, catering to the grassroots program of Philippine Athletic Track and Field Association or PATAFA.

"I gained a lot from my experience working as a technical official in national and even international events like this," shared Pajara in utmost humility. "Kaya nga nagluluksa kami ngayon dahil sa pagkawala kamakailan ng isa sa mga mahuhusay naming mentor na si Romeo Sotto, former sports director ng DLSU, at kapatid ni Vic Sotto (That's why we're now in grief due to the untimely passing of our very talented mentor... and brother of Vic Sotto), he expressed.

It must be noted that Pajara was certificated as coach when he represented the Philippines in a seminar accreditation held in Jakarta, Indonesia a couple of years back.

Junior Medic Society: Cultivating tomorrow's healthcare leaders

In an era where the demand for healthcare professionals is soaring, the inception of the Junior Medic Society stands as a beacon of hope for nurturing the next generation of medical practitioners. This innovative program doesn't just teach basic first aid; it immerses young minds in the multifaceted world of healthcare, instilling a sense of responsibility, compassion, and critical thinking from an early age.
At the heart of the Junior Medic Society is its hands-on approach. Through interactive workshops, simulations, and mentorship programs, participants not only learn the fundamentals of medical care but also develop invaluable life skills such as teamwork, leadership, and effective communication. Whether it's diagnosing a simulated patient, practicing CPR techniques, or learning about medical ethics, every activity is designed to engage and empower young enthusiasts.
Moreover, the Junior Medic Society fosters a sense of community and social responsibility. Beyond the classroom, members are encouraged to volunteer at local hospitals, participate in community health fairs, and even engage in outreach programs to underserved populations. By actively contributing to their communities, these young medics not only gain practical experience but also develop a profound understanding of the societal impact of healthcare.
One of the most captivating aspects of the Junior Medic Society is its emphasis on innovation and research. Participants are encouraged to explore cutting-edge technologies, conduct experiments, and even collaborate with professionals on real-world medical projects. By nurturing their curiosity and creativity, the program inspires a new generation of medical pioneers who are poised to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.
In essence, the Junior Medic Society isn't just about creating future doctors; it's about cultivating well-rounded individuals who are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and empathy to make a meaningful difference in the world of healthcare. As these young enthusiasts embark on their journey towards becoming healthcare leaders, they carry with them the values of compassion, integrity, and excellence instilled by the Junior Medic Society, shaping the future of medicine one aspiring medic at a time.

Eureka!

A spear - weapon with a long straight handle and sharp head or blade - is typically used for thrusting or throwing.

Throughout history, spears have been used for hunting, fishing, and combat. They come in various forms, including those designed for close combat and others optimized for throwing at a distance.

In modern times, spears are still used in some cultures for traditional purposes; while they also hold symbolic and ceremonial significance in others. Additionally, spears are sometimes used in some sports like javelin throwing.

As a Roman gladiator thrusts his spear into the lion's side, a sportsman uses his spear to ace his chosen sport hitting the mark of excellence and victory.

A Belarminian spearheads the sports academe being the sports track in the division.

In that sense, we give you the pilot issue of The Spear, the official student publication of Vito L. Belarmino Senior High School.

In pursuit of scholastic excellence in general, and inclusive sportsmanship in particular, the Paper serves as the students' voice to express themselves especially on issues that concern their academic performance, training, and immersion.

Without much ado, here we go and here we are.

Happy reading!
