𝙒𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙩

A stillness is observed on this eve, one that gathers rather than announces itself. Homes are arranged, lights positioned, tables set with care, yet nothing is allowed to feel complete. The night is shaped not by what is finished, but by what is left open, gestures that suggest arrival while resisting closure.

Across households and traditions, rituals are repeated with familiarity and restraint. Candles are lit, prayers spoken in lowered voices, conversations held at an even pace. Time moves by remembrance and expectancy. Meaning is not produced through spectacle, but carried in repetition, embedded in practiced acts that bind individuals to something shared and still unfolding.

Celebration, in this pause, is not withheld but held back. Attention sharpens. Presence is disciplined. Anticipation is formed through waiting, allowing significance to emerge not at culmination, but within the silence that comes just before it.

𝗔 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗲, 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗜𝗻

Dear me,

Finals are next week. 𝙉𝙀𝙓𝙏. 𝙒𝙀𝙀𝙆.

And somehow, I’m still here pretending that lessons and I are just casually getting to know each other.

Pero, kaya natin ’to. It’s fine. Totally fine. We’ve survived worse with less sleep and more panic. We will survive this too. One lesson at a time, one breakdown at a time, one “mamaya na lang” at a time.

Just remember:
Past us didn’t quit.
Future us is counting on this.
Present us just needs to stop overthinking and start… literally anything.

Finals are temporary. Sleep deprivation is temporary. This chaos? Also temporary.
What’s permanent is the fact that I’m stronger than I think— and funnier under pressure.

So let’s go. We’ve got this.
Not because it’s easy, but because somehow, always, we manage.

𝗣𝗢𝗩: 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗻𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸

As the final exam is fast approaching, this is your gentle reminder to slow down, take a deep breath, and start again.

Yes, the pressure is real, the coverage is long, and suddenly time is moving faster than your ability to memorize anything. Remember to drink water, eat real food, stretch your body, and rest your mind, even if your definition of ‘rest’ is staring at the ceiling while questioning all your life choices.

You’ve survived every exam season before, and you will survive this one too, even if it’s powered by caffeine, late-night cramming, and pure determination. Be kind to yourself, trust the process, and remind yourself that your worth is not defined by one exam. We’re all just doing our best—and honestly, that’s more than enough.

Tuwing ika-sampu ng Disyembre, lumalaganap ang tinig ng pagdiriwang sa buong mundo ang isang mahalagang paalala na ang bawat tao, anuman ang kulay, pinagmulan, paniniwala, o katayuan sa buhay, ay may karapatang umusbong kasabay ng kanyang buhay. Ito ang diwa ng Human Rights Day, isang paggunita hindi lamang ng kasaysayan, kundi sa patuloy na pakikibaka ng dignidad, katarungan, at karapatan ng lahat ng tao sa buong mundo.

Taong 1948, sa pangunguna ni Eleanor Roosebelt na tinaguriang “Ina ng Karapatang Pantao,” ipinasa ng United Nations ang Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Ito ay dahil sa idinulot ng World War II kung saan milyong buhay ang nawala, mga pang-aabusong hindi masukat, at mga trahedyang humubog sa mundo na kinailangan ng sangkatauhan ang isang dokumentong magsisilbing gabay sa paggalang sa bawat buhay. Kung kaya't, isinilang ang isang pangako: hindi na mauulit ang mga pang-aabusong nagdaan.

Ngunit higit pa sa pagiging isang pahina ng kasaysayan, ang Human Rights Day ay nagiging tinig na umaabot sa bawat henerasyon. Bawat taon, milyon-milyong mamamayan—mga aktibista, g**o, estudyante, manggagawa, at magulang—ang patuloy na lumalaban upang gawing buhay at totoo ang mga karapatang minsang isinulat lamang sa papel. Sa Pilipinas, lalo itong makabuluhan dahil ang karapatang pantao ay bahagi ng ating pinagdaanang kwento—mula sa mga naghimagsik sa panahon ng Martial Law hanggang sa masiglang tinig ng kabataang sumisigaw ng bagong kinabukasan.

Sa kabila nito, hindi maitatangging marami pa ring hamon—mula sa diskriminasyon at kahirapan hanggang sa pang-aabuso, red-tagging, online harassment, at gender inequality. Ngunit dahil dito mas nagiging mahalaga ang Human Rights Day. Ito’y nagiging paalala na may pag-asa, may panawagan, at may boses ang bawat isa upang ipaglaban ang tama.

Ang Human Rights Day ay higit pa sa paggunita—ito ay panatang ipagpapatuloy ang laban para sa karapatan, at tumindig laban sa anumang uri ng pang-aabuso.

Dahil sa huli, ang araw na ito ay hindi lamang petsa; ito ay paalala ng ating pagiging tao, at ng pag-asang balang araw ay mamuhay tayo sa mundong pantay, malaya, at makatarungan.

Every December 8, the gentle ringing of church bells calls to celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. A day that honors a Mother who embodies purity, grace, and love. This feast honors the belief that Mary was conceived without original sin, chosen and protected by God from the very beginning so she could carry out her mission as the Mother of Jesus. For many Filipino families, the day feels like a gentle pause from the rush of life, a moment to return to a familiar embrace of prayer and reflection.

Stepping into the church during this feast feels like entering a space filled with light and calm with white flowers surrounding the altar, candles flickering like small wishes, and hymns rising softly as the faithful gather. Whether it’s students offering flowers, mothers leading the rosary, or seniors whispering quiet prayers, everyone finds something personal in Mary’s story. Her immaculate beginning becomes a reminder that grace still exists in the world of quiet, constant, and ready to guide anyone who seeks it.

Viva La Immaculada Concepciòn!

‎
‎Hinahanap kita, Andres, hindi bilang bayani sa mga aklat ng kasaysayan,
‎Kundi sa multo mong ubos na ubos na sa pagbabantay
‎Sa bayang hindi mo maabot-abot.
‎Saan ka man sa kasalukuyan, maaaring naririnig mo pa rin ang mga sigaw
‎Na minsang kumuyog sa Kalye Azcarraga,
‎Ngunit sa kasalukuyan ay sinasakal ng katahimikan, takot, ang mga baluktot na pangako.
‎
‎Nakakapanghina, ano?
‎Kapag ang mga dapat na pumrotekta,
‎Ay sila pang nauunang manlupig.
‎Ang kalayaan ay hinihiwa ng sariling mga kamay,
‎Ng mga pinunong nangakong maging tanglaw.
‎
‎Sinabi mo na gusto mong maging apoy, Bonifacio,
‎Pero bakit ang mga nagmana ng tungkulin mong magliyab
‎Ay mas piniling maging abo?
‎Binubuksan ko ang balita at nakikita ko
‎Ang mga mukha ng pinunong nangakong maglingkod,
‎Pero sa huli'y nagkamal at nagtago sa anino ng batas.
‎
‎Sila ang mga modernong dayuhan,
‎Hindi banyaga ang wika pero suwail ang puso sa bayan.
‎Sila ang may mga kamay na dapat humawak ng sandata mo,
‎Pero ginamit itong pampatahimik sa taumbayan.
‎
‎Sinong mag-aakalang ang tapang mong minsang umaligwak,
‎Ay magiging usok na lamang sa harap
‎Ng mga opisyal na hindi mahulugang karayom sa dami ng kasalanan,
‎Mga bulsang puno, mga bayang hungkag?
‎
‎Ngunit narito rin ang hindi mo nakikita,
‎Ang mga tibok na hindi nila kayang patayin,
‎Ang mga mumunting apoy na hindi nila kayang tupukin
‎Ang mga nagmumultong boses na hindi nila magawang patahimikin.
‎
‎Sa mga estudyanteng inaabot ng gabi ang pag-aaral,
‎Sa mga manggagawang bumabangon bago sumikat ang araw,
‎Sa mga boluntaryong hindi humihinto kahit wala nang lakas,
‎Sa mga aktibistang tinatawag na “pasaway” dahil ayaw tumahimik,
‎Nananatili ang sigaw na minsang sinindihan mo.
‎
‎At doon, Andrés,
‎Doon nananatili ang apoy mo,
‎Hindi sa palasyo, hindi sa senado, hindi sa mga talumpating
‎Maaaring ipasa-bukas at ipangako sa langit.
‎Nananatili ito sa mga ordinaryong kamay,
‎Sa bawat batang pinagpapatuloy ang pag-aaral kahit walang pera,
‎Sa bawat kawani ng gobyernong hindi pa rin kumukurap,
‎Sa bawat boses na nagsasabing
‎“Hindi ito ang Pilipinas na pinangarap mo,
‎pero lalaban kami para sa isang mas mabuti.”
‎
‎At sa hulí, Bonifacio,
‎narito ang tugon ng bayan mo sa ngayon:
‎
‎Kung minsan, kailangan muling punitin ang “sedula, ”
‎hindi papel na buwis,
‎Kundi ang mga kasunduan
‎Ng katahimikan na ipinipilit sa atin ng takot.
‎Sa bawat pagkapunit,
‎Sumusulpot ang tapang
‎Na hindi nila kayang supilin.
