The bells toll, the smoke turns white, and history is made. The long-awaited moment has finally arrived as the conclave reveals the name of the newly elected Pope Leo XIV (Robert Francis Prevost) sending waves of joy through the Sistine Chapel and around the world. The faithful gathered outside the conclave are in awe as the balcony doors open and the chosen one steps forward to greet the world.

History continues to unfold as the 267th Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Catholic Church had been settled. The centuries-old signal rises high above the Sistine Chapel, declaring to the world: a new pope has been chosen. Yet for now, the name of the Holy Father remains cloaked in mystery. The crowd erupts with cheers, tears, and prayers, awaiting the moment when the balcony doors will open and the chosen one will step forward to greet the worldโ€”a name and a face that will leave its mark upon history.

Pitch-dark smoke rises in the chimneys of the Sistine Chapel, signaling to the world that no pope has been chosen today. The cardinals prevail in deep prayer as the faithful eagerly anticiplates the moment white smoke appears, announcing the newly elected Pope of the Catholic Church. The anticipation grows as the hours passed.

Today, we honor the hands that built our homes, healed our wounds, fed our families, and keep our country moving. Behind every uniform, calloused palms, and a worn-out smile is a story of sacrifice and resilience.

But we also remember the battles or rallies that they continue to fight. For fair wages, safe working conditions, dignity and respect. As students and citizens, letโ€™s use our voices to stand with them. Labour Day isnโ€™t just about rest, itโ€™s about rights. Happy Labour Day!

The sun had blazed fiercely during the campaign season in School Year 2023โ€“2024, as if mirroring the fire in the hearts of aspiring student leaders. Despite class suspensions brought by the intense heat index, the Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) elections of San Vicente Pilot School for Philippine Craftsmen (SVPSPC) election was a topic as hot as the weather.

Two rival partylists, Kaagapay and Hiraya, stepped onto the stage. For three days, the campus shifted to a virtual stage, filled with campaign videos, catchy reels, and spirited page posting. But it was the Miting de Avance that truly set the stage on fire. The atmosphere was boilingโ€”not just from the temperatureโ€”but from the electrifying mix of thrill, tension, and the hunger for victory. Students watching live from SV Productions witnessed not just platforms or introductions, but passion.

Then came April 29, 2024โ€”a date etched into the memory of many. The results were in. From the storm of debates and digital campaigns emerged twelve student leadersโ€”six from Kaagapay, six from Hirayaโ€“the perfect balance, a promising team. The newly elected SSLG officers of SVPSPC were ready to serve.

Leading the change was Ahron Basilio, the calm yet driven President from Hiraya. Beside him, Vice President Elyse Pangilinan, also from Hiraya, carried the same vision of unity. From Kaagapay, Secretary Haneen El Hassan and Treasurer Samantha Empay brought accountability to the table. Hirayaโ€™s Auditor, Casey Pagcu ensured transparency, while Kaagapayโ€™s PIO, Jhaylhanz Trajano, became the voice of the students. With Protocol Officer Romwell Hernandez from Hiraya keeping order, and grade representatives Lyndzei Garcia (Gr. 8), Chloe Calara (Gr. 9), Brent De Leon (Gr. 10), Dheyniel Yuri Keyser (Gr. 11), and Rham Quiroz (Gr. 12) stood up for their batchmates in every meeting they've attend to. Once the school year began, they went into immediate scouting for the grade 7 Representativeโ€“the pleasure was entrusted to Gillian Calbang.

The student body was completeโ€”an epitome of leadership and student representation.

From the very beginning, their mission was clear: to serve, to lead, and to showcase virtuosity. Whether it was organizing events, addressing student concerns, or simply becoming a presence students could trustโ€“the SSLG stood strong. Even in the depth of challengesโ€”heat waves, hectic schedules, and balancing academics with dutiesโ€”they didnโ€™t falter. Instead, they grew. From the Brigada Eskwela until the graduation of the grade 12 students, the SSLG remained anointed to their commitment to serve.

Now, as the school year comes to a close, these once-campaigning candidates are now outgoing officers. The same ones who once nervously waited for results are now leaving behind their postsโ€”wiser, bolder, and undoubtedly changed. Some had graduated like Ahron, Jhaylhanz, and Rham while the others continued the paths they paved towards their success.

Their journey, from the introduction post of the newly elected officers on the offical SSLG page until the farewell posts made was more than just leadership. It was about commitment, growth, and the willingness to carry the student body on their shoulders. As they step down, they pass the torch not just to the new set of leaders from the Liwanag Partylist, but to every student they've inspired.

From campaigns to goodbyes, this is their legacy. And what a journey it has been.

A circular paper of the number nine had been found displayed in multiple scenes in the Sineliksik, 'Kabilang Ka' for the recently concluded RFOT. It was notably found attached to the waist of the protagonist, an Aeta named Sorita Dimaguibaโ€“reflecting the resilience of a Negro Pilipino, especially a woman.

Or, it could be found in the background. Most of the time, it was sticked onto the statue of Jose Abad Santos as the venue was in the prestigious campus of Pampanga High school.

And now, that same paper was sticked onto a TV in the ICT room of SVPSPC. A testament of their victory, now on the road to Ilocos Sur for sure, as the filmmakers of SVPSPC; Elisha Lugtu, Airies Escoto, and Patrick Ramos had secured a placement in the National Festival of Talents.

I had the opportunity to sit down with these young filmmakers to discuss their journeyโ€”from concept to the ex*****on, the challenges they faced, and the emotions that gave way to their sweet victory.

๐: "Before everything else, I would like to congratulate you for winning a qualifying place in the NFOT (National Festival of Talents) for SVPSPC! Despite being a competition, did you have a target audience?"

๐€: "We didn't have any target audience, yung judge lang." Aries, the director and editor answered briefly but not unkind. "Anyone can watch it, because our overall output depends on the judge, not the viewers. It's a criteria that'll lead us to victory." She continued.

๐: "I see! It makes me wonder, what were the challenges you faced as a team in the making of the film? Because I've just noticed that it was Elisha playing Sorita at the nearing end of the film!"

๐€: "Legit? Grabeng makeover, 'no!" Elisha laughed, amused by the accuracy of the body paint and afro wig. "Yung init," Airies beamed, "Yung panahon, because we were walking on barefootโ€“well, I was barefooted." Elisha continued before speaking again, "But if you really want to winโ€“no pain, no gain!"

I thought it ended there. Until they've started listing more dilemmas. "Marami kaming bitbit; Elisha's suitcase, a paper bag, everything Elisha wore, and could've woreโ€“we brought it all." Airies gestured, her responsibility reflecting.

"To be transparent, mas less yung pressure ngayong RFOT kaysa noong DFOT." Elisha spoke, in her matter-of-a-fact tone. "I mean, we felt light rather than light-headed. The environment was perfect, our confidence was unwavering, and had no trouble going with the flow." She continued.

"Grabe din naman kasi yung support system ng school eh!" Elisha grinned. And Patrick, who had been silent until now, agreed enthusiastically, "Tama, tama!"

"Coach Wes, specifically. Since TV Broad, he had been so supportive. Even other coaches like Ma'am Merlien for the Bread and Pastry Production, who also clinched SV a spot in NFOT." Aries mentioned, "Ma'am Sem and Ma'am Edlyn for EIM, nag-qualify din!" Elisha added excitedly.

"They often smile at us whenever we come across, nakakatulong pag kinakabahan kami." Airies stated, "Tsaka wala pa man, cino-congratulate na kami. It's like subtle foreshadowing." Patrick joked, yet everything he said was true.

๐: "I think it comes with the standards when applying to become a teacher at SV. They're truly something else as educators and mentors. Anyway, what reactions have you received from viewers so far? Because for me, I had goosebumps while watching the entirety of it!"

๐€: "We've been told that a lot, actually. Probably the first thing they say after watching." Elisha chuckled knowingly. "Actually, pare-pareho lang mga naging reactions. After watching, we've been congratulatedโ€“meaning we did a great job, nagustuhan talaga nila." Airies continued, her expression filled with post-contest relief.

๐: "Something do simple can truly be remarkable. What message do you want the readers to engrave in their hearts and minds?"

๐€: The question was thought-provoking enough to make them pause. Even Patrick, who had only been agreeing paused and thought with Elisha and Airies. Until, Elisha spoke up, "Since the topic is about inclusivity, yun yung gusto naming iparating. Para sa Bagong Pilipinas, tanggap ka, kabilang ka; kahit sino ka man."

๐: "Aba, nasingit pa yung film title! Anyways, this had been bugging me ever since you projected experiences of an Aeta accurately. Were there any testimonies or real-life stories that deeply affected you during your research?"

๐€: "Well, we referenced from this particular story wherein one Aeta was the first to study and graduate as a lawyer." Airies answered, "So for our film, we made Sorita the first Aeta to run in an election. It's unique in a way that it's reminiscent to the upcoming elections happening in the country."

๐: "Sobrang Craftsman! The gesture is very creative and innovative. What did you personally learn from competing and making this project?"

๐€: "I've learned to be attentive with every shoot. This could be highly significant for the activities in the future, not just in Sineliksik." Elisha answered, "And for the storyline, sobrang laki ng impact para sa'min non. It was our first time encountering it, and we've took so many risks. Isa na rin yung nabibilad sa araw at laging nag-aattend kay Elisha." Airies joked to lighten up the mood.

Patrick, silent until now, finally responded, "We've also learned a thing or two about their lifestyles. Their traditions, their dialectโ€“it's like being a different person, getting to experience someone else's life."

"We're used to it, sanay kami! Iniintindi lang namin si Elisha noon. Of course, the weather was blazing hot and she had no time to wear any slippers because we had a time limit." Airies sighed, "The body paint and lotion was sticking to her skin, and it was crucial for us to keep her in good shape."

"I even recalled the both of them saying, "Buhatin na natin si Elisha!" because it was so hot!" Elisha cackled as she recalled of them taking it seriously.

๐: "Well, anything to win, right? For the final question, what message would you love to give your coach, Sir Wesly?"

๐€: "I mean, you can already see his efforts since the time... well, time palang, may effort na. He stays with us whenever we go home late because of trainings." Elisha chortled, "On a serious note, since TV Broad, he's been like that. Our efforts as journalists and his as a coach just mesh with eachother like a well-oiled machine. Kasi alam niya na may goal kami... and yung goal na yun is yung sumakses!" Elisha chimed, clapping her hand once as she quoted Sir Wesly's favourite meme; "Sumakses ka eh!"

"Out of all of my coaches, he's the most considerate one. I got a little culture-shocked when I first went under him because he often cracks jokes like, "Sino ba talaga yung coach, ako o ikaw?" just to make me feel better about myself, and I deeply appreciate that." Airies stated, feeling a deep sense of gratitude. "He's ready to learn from us, and so are we. It's a healthy give-and-take relationship. So, Sir Wes? He's the one who truly pushed me beyond my limits even if I knew to myself that I can do this and that, but he made me act with peak confidence."

Patrickโ€“now finally encouraged to speak upโ€“stated, "At first, I genuinely did not know how to show my skill in cinematography. But when I showed him an output, he was quick to comment that I was actually pretty skilled andโ€”"

Patrick was cut short when Elisha reminded, "Message mo kay Sir, hindi sa sarili mo." Everyone in the room burst out laughing, Patrick was quick to adjust with a sheepish smile before continuing, "Right, well, he's the best. That's all I could say, I'm genuinely speechless because no words can describe how much great of a coach he is." He trailed off for a moment before speaking again, "Sinabi niya kasi magaling ako." His response was amusing, but it held truth.

"Okay!" Sir Wes, who was actively listening to the whole interview chimed and everyone let put sounds of agreement, thinking the interview was done, untilโ€“

๐: "Not yet done! I had a lot of questions in mind for this particular interview. But this one, is specially for you, Sir Wes. What message would you love to pass onto these three talented filmmakers?"

๐€: "Grabe, ang unexpected naman." Sir Wesly chuckled. He pondered what to say before a small smile graced his lips, "Always be humble. That's what I've told them since training for TV Broadcasting. Yun lang naman." He smiled, "May joke rin kami para diyan, 'Always be humbleness'." He added, and sure enough, that inside joke would remain theirs.

Elisha, Airies, and Patrick's journey in Sineliksik on the way to NFOT, is more than just a 'sakses' storyโ€“it's also an inspiration to young storytellers, a reflection of one's reality, a movement to stand up for those who can'tโ€“speaking for the silencedโ€“acting for more than just the sake of entertainment.

Through all the locked suitcases, malfunctioning gadgets, unwavering determination, moments of doubt and uncertaintyโ€“they now resume training for the national level.

And perhaps, there are student filmmakersโ€“maybe in SVPSPC, or furtherโ€“watching their story unfold, how their prayers became answered realities, ready to pick up their camera and tell a story of their own.
