An empty chair is waiting.

For those who are groping in the dark.
For those students whose eyes are tired aiming for a high mark
For those creative minds who've gotten their doors locked.
And for those fledglings who lost their flock.

Reminisce as you take a seat in life.
Even the mightiest warrior will still need to take a rest in order to survive.
You did great, fighting these battles on your own.
Get some rest, my brave soldier. As a brand new day will come very soon.

“Dili lang kay Santo Tomas akong gidala nga pangalan sa competition, apan isa sa akong mga lucky charms ang Santo Tomas College of Agriculture, Sciences and Technology (STCAST),” Pamposa shared in his post.

Pamposa’s victory is particularly remarkable, given the intense competition and the limited time he had upon arriving at the venue. In a heartfelt Facebook post, he expressed his gratitude to those who supported him throughout his journey, proudly representing both his municipality and STCAST.

“Late kaayo ko nakaabot sa venue. Within 3 hours and 30 minutes, nahuman ra jud nako. Kulba kaayo kay daghan pud ug hawod,” Pamposa added.

The Manila Bulletin Sketchfest, now in its seventh year in Davao, is celebrated for its focus on spontaneous drawing and sketching talents. This year’s theme, “Alamat: Mythical Stories and Legends of the Philippines,” showcased Filipino mythology and highlighted the talent emerging from the homegrown artists across Mindanao.

Pamposa’s achievement not only brings pride to STCAST but also shines a spotlight on the exceptional talent of Mindanaoans.

In the face of adversity, student journalists navigate the delicate balance between truth and power every day. The courage to uncover hidden truths and the freedom to report without restraint are essential rights that must be upheld and fiercely protected.

As we observe National Campus Press Freedom Day, we reflect on our duty to foster a just and informed community. We, as campus journalists, bear the responsibility not only to report but to inspire dialogue and ignite change, regardless of scale.

Let us stand together in the fight to safeguard and elevate campus press freedom, where our words become the frontline defense of our democracy.
