Bansang Pilipinas na ating tinatangi,
bakit ba ito patuloy na itinatanggi?
tayo ay mulat sa mga nangyayari,
hindi ba dapat itong ipagmalaki?

Sa nagdaang panahon na naging alipunya,
ang ating bansa ay naging malaya,
ang mga indiyong ninuno ay naghirap,
dugo't pawis ang inalay para sa magandang hinaharap.

Bayang sinisinta na punong puno ng pag-asa,
likas na mayaman sa tanawin na kay ganda,
kakaibang talino, tanyag sa buong mundo,
ito ay natatanging yaman nating mga Pilipino.

Patuloy nating sintahin,
ang bansang sinilangan natin,
atin itong sikaping paunlarin,
at tiwala't pagkakaisa ay gawin.

Sa talaan ng kasaysayan nakasulat ang mga prominenteng ngalan ng mga indibidwal na minsan ay nakipaglaban para isang bayan na nakatatayo ng mag-isa. Mga pangalan na makikita sa aklat-aralin, sa likod ng mga ito nakaukit ang pinagdaanan ng inang bayan. Gayunpaman, sa gitna ng lahat ng ito, nakaraan man o kasalukuyan, lalaki o babae, kilala man o hindi, nasa Pilipinas man o wala, ang mga Pilipino sa lahat ng dako ay nagtataglay ng kabayanihan. Patunay na mayroong mga bayani na lampas pa sa mga librong pangkasaysayan, ipinapakita na ‘di lamang ang mga pangalang bantog na nakasulat sa libro ang nararapat ng pagkilala.

Ayon sa parmasyutiko at Heneral Antonio Luna, "Ipapakita ko sa kanila na ang mga Pilipino ay may higit na dangal, tapang, at dignidad.". Binibigyang-diin ng pahayag na ito na ang mga Pilipino ay nagtataglay ng mga katangiang mahalaga sa mundo. Dahil dito, ang huling Lunes ng Agosto ay nakatuon sa paggunita sa anibersaryo ng Sigaw ng Pugad Lawin, na nagmarka ng pagsisimula ng rebolusyon ng Pilipinas laban sa paghahari ng mga Espanyol noong 1896. Tulad na lang ng mga bayaning sina Dr. Jose Rizal, Emilio Aguinaldo, Andres Bonifacio, at iba pang mga kinikilalang bayani ng Pilipinas, kinakatawan nila ang kalayaan ng mga Pilipino. Ngunit mayroong mga bayaning Pilipino, hindi man kilala, patuloy na naglilingkod sa kapwa at bayan. Ipinapakita nila na ang walang kupas na sipag at tiyaga ng mga Pilipino sa ano mang dako ng buhay. Tulad ng ika ni Luna, ang mga Pilipino ay patuloy na ipinapakita ang puri, tapang, at dangal ng dugong Pilipino, dugong bayani.

Sa araw ng mga bayani, ating bigyang pugay ‘di lamang ang mga taong ipinaglaban ang ating kalayaan, kundi pati na rin ang mga Pilipinong patuloy na nagbibigay ng tulong sa mga taong mula sa lahat ng antas ng buhay- ang ating mga OFW, g**o, doktor, nars, lingkod-bayan, at lahat ng Pilipinong itinataas ang bandila ng ating bansa, sinisimbolo ang puso at tatag ng mga Pilipino. Hindi man nakasulat sa mga libro ang pangalan ng bawat isa, sila’y nagsisilbing patunay na ang serbisyo ay binibigay ng kusa para sa bayan- testamento na ang dugong Pilipino ay patuloy na maglilingkod para sa ikabubuti ng mundo.

From a senator to a prisoner. A hero and a martyr. A commemoration is held annually on the 21st of August, for the assassination of an imminent figure who was brave enough to lead the call for change. He was a relentless adversary during the Marcos regime. He who brought the light to the people shrouded in darkness, a true definition of patriotism- Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr.

During Martial law, Marcos ordered Aquino to be arrested for falsified claims and was placed into solitary confinement. Despite being imprisoned, he was able to run for the presidential position yet lost. After years of being abroad for medical treatment, Aquino knew that when he returned back to his home country, he would face death. Ironically enough, upon landing at the airport, he was shot dead even before reaching the tarmac. Ninoy’s death ignited something inside the people. Little did they know they would be part of the start of an uprising that would later be called: the People's Power Revolution. Associated with this is the song 𝐓𝐢𝐞 𝐚 𝐘𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐑𝐢𝐛𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐥𝐞 𝐎𝐚𝐤 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐞, a song by Dawn. This was used to be the welcoming song of the awaited arrival of Ninoy Aquino but to their shock, they were met with his loss instead.

“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐝𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫.” His true loyalty to our country despite the acts against him contributed to the success of the People Power in defiance of Marcos. Like Ninoy, we should remember that all our doings will affect future generations- may it be to bring success or failure.

Sa tuwing sumasapit na ang buwan ng Agosto ay ipinagdiriwang na ng bawat Pilipino ang naging daan nila sa pakikipag-komunikasyon, ito ay ang wikang Filipino na s'yang nagsilbing tanglaw para malaya nilang mailahad ang kanilang mga ideya, damdamin, at saloobin. Gayunpaman, ang buwan ng Agosto ay panahon rin upang mag-balik tanaw sa kasaysayan ng bansang Pilipinas.

Hindi lang naman sa pangaraw-araw na pakikipag-usap nagagamit ang wika, sa katunayan ay nagsilbi itong instrumento ng pambansang bayani ng Pilipinas na si Dr. Jose Rizal sa pagsusulat ng kaniyang nobela na naging dahilan upang mamulat ang mga Pilipino at tuluyang makawala sa pananakop ng mga Espanyol.

Tunay ngang ang wika ay mapagpalaya, sapagkat isa ito sa mga naging tulay upang tuluyang mapalaya ang Pilipinas mula sa mga mananakop na Espanyol. Ganiyan kahalaga ang wika, hindi mo maipapahayag ang iyong layunin kung hindi mo ito pahahalagahan at higit sa lahat ay kung hindi mo ito gagamitin. Mula sa pagiging tanglaw ng pakikipag-komunikasyon hanggang sa pagiging instrumento upang mapabuti ang sanlibutan ay iilan lamang 'yan sa mga kakayahan nito. Ating mahalin at ipagdiwang ang wika, sapagkat higit pa sa lahat ang mga natulungan at naitulong nito sa buong sanlibutan. Kaya naman, ngayong buwan ng Agosto, ating balikan ang kasaysayan ng ating bansa na syang humubog sa bayan na kumukupkop sa bawat Pilipino sa kasalukuyan.

As the dawn of a new academic year begins, the CCSTAI community gathered in a heartwarming celebration of faith and unity. We came together for a joyous Mass of the Holy Spirit, held at the serene CCSTAI Grounds. The celebration was graced by the presence of His Grace Bishop Joel Baylon from the Diocese of Legazpi as our Main Mass Presider, alongside Rev. Fr. Augusto O. Abril and Rev Fr. Mercurio Rivera Jr. as the Co-Celebrants.

In this sacred moment, we earnestly prayed for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to be bestowed upon our students, teachers, and faculty, seeking divine guidance and blessings for a fruitful and inspiring school year ahead.

Adding to the day's significance, CCSTAI's Student Coordinating Board was officially inducted as the new student leaders for 2024-2025. With heartfelt blessings, we entrusted them with their roles and responsibilities, confident that they will lead with dedication and integrity.

Here’s to a blessed and successful year filled with wisdom, growth, and community spirit!

The CCSTAI Community is beaming with pride as we celebrate the remarkable achievement of Constantine Buen Acejo, our very own silver medalist in 𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐤 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐭 at the prestigious 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐚, held last 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟏𝟐 𝐭𝐨 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟏𝟒 𝐚𝐭 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐛𝐮 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲.

Constantine's journey kicked off with an exciting initial match against CARAGA, paving the way for a series of intense showdowns. The second match had Region 5 battling against Region 9, followed by a thrilling contest with Region 7. For the final game, Acejo put up a fierce fight with Region 8 but was cut short, 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦. Throughout each match, Constantine's steadfast focus and determination stood out, ultimately securing a well-earned 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟓.

This outstanding performance not only highlights Constantine’s talent but also serves as an inspiration to all athletes and Centralians. Your dedication and sportsmanship have brought honor to our school community and set a new standard of excellence. We look forward to seeing your future accomplishments and continued contributions to the world of sports.

On July 29, 2024, CCSTAI warmly welcomed back Centralians. The highly anticipated school year opening has finally arrived and it was kicked off the Centralian way. As the usual flag ceremony progressed, the school principal, Elmer Bongon, welcomed Centralians, both old and new. Afterwards, the SCB performed a dance number, holding up letters that spelled “First Day”, highlighting the opening of classes for the school year 2024-2025.

CCSTAI’s Student Coordinating Board played a vital role in making the opening a memorable experience for the students. Multiple booths prepared by the SCB graced the grounds of CCSTAI, some of which were the Merchandise Booth, Doodle Board, game booths and the like. During this, a school tour was also held for the new students, taking them around the campus by designated teachers. Along with the opening, Rev. Fr. Augusto Abril, school director, also introduced the new I.D. system in which the students can now pay cashless for their snacks at the cafeteria. Old and new faculty and staff members were also introduced and recognized by Fr. Abril during the flag ceremony.

The Saldang broadcasting team also made its debut with the Head Broadcasters, Marielle Buella and Alyson Alzaga, hosting the ice-breaker as well as the other members of the broadcasting team starting their filming for their project; Campus Converse, a series wherein Centralians are interviewed and asked for their insights on certain topics and events.

Women, no matter which country, have time and time again been subjected to the prejudice and oppression of those around them. In the Philippines, where the majority of the country’s population belongs to the less fortunate class, half of them are women. This problem has continued to grow in number since the pandemic due to the effects of the lockdowns the government had ordered at the time. Many businesses had shut down while workplaces like offices laid off most of their workers due to the crashing economy.

However, even before the pandemic struck, women had always gotten the short end of the stick, especially in the workforce. They have been reported to have been paid even less than the already meager amount of the minimum wage. The complete disregard for respect towards women has made life for females more dangerous; harassment, both sexual and physical, has created trauma for those who experience it and paranoia for the few who have not. On the other hand, the impact of misogyny on society creates rifts in the population between those who agree with gender equality and those who do not.

Despite all odds cast against women, Filipino women continue to rise above adversity and flourish in their respective fields-- championing women both in the national and international scene. In today’s celebration of the International Women’s Day, let us acknowledge the efforts Filipinas have made for gender equality. Whether it be in the workplace or any setting, women should not be subjects of belittlement and discrimination. We must remember that women in solidarity can make transformational impacts for the greater good.

It's the start of yet another season and CCSTAI's basketball team, Falcons, started to train earlier. Behind the team's victories and challenges, there's a team captain who is courageous, consistent, and has passion. He is Franco Luis Los Baños, a senior high school student from CCSTAI. He was given an honor to lead the team in the right direction and be a model for the team. But behind every victory and hardworks, Franco still faces struggles.

Being the team captain includes a lot of responsibilities. Yet, Franco still manages his responsibilities and handles the team with discipline. Giving 100% effort in every training and game. As he wants to improve, not only for himself, but for the whole team. Franco always keeps in his mind the important values to conduct himself properly. This is to cultivate a disciplined mindset for the team in order to reach their objective, which is the championship. With a persistent team captain, the team can surpass challenges and claim victories.

This way, the team has a chance of gaining more experience and compete against other schools. Like the experience they had in the recent BACS meet, wherein selected Falcons competed for the CEAL team. There is also a hardworking athlete who has gained confidence and is pursuing his passion. He is Sean Tristan Añonuevo, a senior high school student from CCSTAI. He claimed that he was happy to have an experience in BACS. He also said that it was great, thrilling, and that he met a lot of athletes from other schools. Sean said that he improved a lot after that thrilling experience.

He enjoyed his journey and experience as an athlete. Sean was inspired by his parents and believed in himself that he could make it to Falcons. But with many unforgettable moments, great things also comes to an end. He knows it is his last year at CCSTAI and his last year as an athlete of the team. Despite his last year, Sean was still happy. He achieved everything that he wanted to and all his goals in CCSTAI. Sean learned a lot from his struggles and experience. He is also thankful to his family and friends for being supportive, he told Saldang. Moreover, despite the struggles and tiredness of an athlete, they still work hard and keep moving forward.

With the gifts under the decorated tree, and the table full of food shared with friends and family--- the jolliest time the year has to offer is finally here! The lights are shining and the church bells are ringing; everyone seems to be in good spirits – it is Christmas season after all. Tradition and bonds between family and friends show through pulling those ropes of connections and love even closer and tighter this Christmas. It is the season of love and giving – of forgiveness and charity, to celebrate the union everyone has with each other is the true purpose of this season of generosity.

With families blaring the almost obligatory karaoke during gatherings, everyone happily singing to the nearly rough yet comforting tune of the karaoke machine. The table filled with food all made with love and careful preparation for Noche Buena, soon to be consumed by those hungry stomachs while hearts and memories shall soon be filled once more. People getting together as they talk about life and past memories, reminiscing the past as they currently make new memories with the people, they hold most dear. The wind softly passing – a little chilly but nonetheless the warmth and comfort of good company helps not letting the cold shake one’s soul.

The comfort of Christmas is in those who people hold closely to their hearts, those connections and bonds that will last lifetimes within their memories even if they soon shall vanish – it is the season of reminiscing, of reminding those who have forgotten that are not truly alone. Have a holly jolly Christmas Centralians! Don’t forget to hold your loved one’s a little closer this holiday season!

As we approach the last day of the Advent season, it holds great importance in our lives, marking the final day of prayer and penance as we await the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Additionally, it’s the time for the yuletide season, with Christmas ornaments adorning the community, and festive songs playing.

The celebration of this season requires self-oblation as a way to welcome the coming of Christ and repay the sacrifice that the Son of God granted us. It is also a reminder of God and Christ’s selflessness and compassion toward mankind, showing that He loves us and sent His Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.

Christ, the true God and true Man, is the Greatest Gift of God given to humanity. As we embrace the spirit of giving, it’s essential to fully appreciate the gifts of God that have been given to mankind. Let us offer a moment of shared celebration, reflection, and time to prepare for our beloved Jesus Christ. The sacrifice of Christ serves as a timeless reminder of God’s perpetual love for us.

Gleaming smiles and eyes full of hope lie behind a three-story building, with grates of prison attached to the cells, people deprived of liberty can be found behind them; longing for the freedom they are deprived of.

Some have been detained for months, some even for years, and as a result, a number of detainees have not been visited by their loved ones. This is especially true for the detainees of Tabaco City District Jail. And last December 15, 2023, Share-a-Joy, an outreach program by Catholic Central School paid a visit to the said facility, along with the General Parent Teacher Council and Student Coordinating Board to share a portion of goods such as rice, hygiene kits, canned goods, and other necessities, to the PDLs that the students have given.

For years, CCSTAI has been practicing the gift of giving. After nearly 5 years of not being able to visit the facility, CCSTAI was welcomed with open arms by the chiefs and PDLs. Through the goods given by the students, they were able to leave a mark on all of the detainees' hearts; a mark that reminds them that they are loved, and that no matter where they may be, a family like CCSTAI will be there for them.
