The Christmas countdown has turned into a quiet, eager messenger today, carrying tiny notes of connection between every tick and tock of the clock โ€” one that settles your chest, light and free, as the 24th winds up toward midnight.

โ€œTickโ€ฆ Tockโ€ฆโ€

The kind that lingers when you make space on the table for your relatives who would always bring extra food for Noche Buena, when you pause and listen to your little sibling or cousin practice their Christmas carol for the nth time before going out to the neighborhood, when you set up extra plates for your friends who dropped by.

Each passing second isnโ€™t just a step closer to Christmas day, It's a gesture to notice: the way your grandparents' hands still shake slightly when they give you that long awaiting ampao, but their smiles made the ampao suddenly worthless compared to their care; the way one of your cousins tease each other about dropping their piece of chocolate cake, but still helps one another in cleaning up the mess; the way everyone just seems to fit, messy and perfect in their own way.

When the clock finally approaches 12 midnight, the countdown is like a final, warm message:

โ€œIโ€™m grateful for my family and friends, for the people who stayed by my side throughout this year, for the people who showed up to the gathering, even when the room bustles with a chaotic yet loving atmosphere with the matching ugly christmas sweaters. The real gift I have received this Christmas is this โ€” all of them right here, with me. I could never ask for more than this.โ€

On November 26, 2025, The Integrated Laboratory School actively participated in the English Month 2025 Celebration, conducting the activities:

- DEAR Program (Drop Everything And Read)
- Litlang Labyrinth
- Spelldorado
- Scribeโ€™s Anvil Essay and Poetry Writing Contest
- The Relic Showcase

The "DEAR Program," implemented as a classroom-based activity, was conducted in each classโ€™s designated English period. Another set of classroom-based competitions, composed with the "Litlang Labyrinth" and "Spelldorado," was held in the afternoon.

Meanwhile "The Scribeโ€™s Anvil: Essay and Poetry Writing Contest" served as an avenue for an intellectual battle between grades from the same learning stage. Here, the intermediate level and junior high school level fought and showed their excellence in writing, showing both creativity and skill. Mr. Godwin Dale I. Cano, served as an evaluator in choosing the best writers.

The Relic Showcase, on the other hand, was set on the next day, giving the students time to prepare their literary artifacts. ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ

On November 27, 2025, the day started with students parading around the Youngfield campus as they showcased their relics from different storybooks, fairy tales, movies, chronicles and more.

Relics like Snow Whiteโ€™s poisoned apple, The Genieโ€™s magic lamp, Mjรถlnir, The poison from Romeo and Juliet, The philisopherโ€™s stone, a magic wand, and a golden snitch from Harry Potter, were some of the many props that creative young students brought which displayed their ingenuity, brilliance, and creative interpretations. โœจ

After their parade, students, per grade level, made their way to the ILS building entrance photo booth for a quick photo opportunity with their relics and ILS Director, Professor Lorena M. Ripalda.

Before the day ended, the awarding and closing ceremony was held at the Mini Theater. Students were recognized and awarded with certificates acknowledging their efforts.

This year's English Month celebration serves as a reminder to use the English language responsibly and to understand that how you use it holds power. โœ๏ธ

The Leyte Normal Universityโ€“Integrated Laboratory School (LNU-ILS) proudly extends its warmest greetings and prayers for success to its exceptional students and mentors who will represent the institution in two prestigious events this November 2025, the Rits Super Global Forum 2025 in Japan and the Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC) 2025 in Tacloban City.

The Rits Super Global Forum 2025, to be held from November 9 to 14, 2025, in Nagaokakyo City, Kyoto, Japan, aims to foster global citizenship, intercultural understanding, and collaboration among young leaders from different parts of the world. Representing LNU-ILS in this international engagement are Suane Amanda A. Bardillon, Ricci Antonette C. Blanco, and Mariecate Conzeph B. Militante. They are guided by their esteemed coaches, Prof. Lorena M. Ripalda (ILS Director) and Dr. Orlando P. Vinculado, Jr. (International Affairs and External Linkages Director), with internal coaches Mr. Ricky Cebrano for Dance and Mr. Willan Keith A. Badidles for Research and Poster Presentation. Their participation highlights LNU-ILSโ€™s continuing commitment to nurturing globally competitive learners who embody excellence, leadership, and cultural appreciation.

At the same time, the LNU-ILS The Point Publication is set to showcase its journalistic excellence at the Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC) 2025, which will be conducted on November 6โ€“8, 2025, at Leyte National High School, Tacloban City. The talented student-journalists will compete in various categories, including English and Filipino News Writing, Editorial Writing, Column Writing, Sci-Tech Writing, Copy Reading and Headline Writing, Photojournalism, Feature Writing, Sports Writing, Cartooning, School Paper, and both English and Filipino Radio Broadcasting. These young writers are under the capable mentorship of Mr. Charisse B. Gadaingan, Ms. Camille N. Dumpang, Ms. Laurence Kaye A. Ogsila, and Mr. Ruegin D. Masong.

As both groups embark on their respective journeys, one on the international stage in Kyoto, Japan, and the other in the dynamic world of campus journalism in Tacloban City, the entire LNU-ILS community offers its heartfelt prayers and unwavering support. With faith as their compass and dedication as their strength, the LNU-ILS delegates are bound to make a lasting mark. Godspeed and go, Normalistas!

Today, we pause to remember ๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿด, ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฏ โ€” the day ๐—ง๐˜†๐—ฝ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ reshaped the heart of a nation. Winds howled, waves rose, and in their wake came silence โ€” a silence heavy with loss, with names never called again, with homes that would never be the same.

Yet amid the grief, we also remember the strength that endured, the hands that rebuilt from ruins, the voices that chose hope despite heartbreak, and the spirit that refused to fade.

May this day remind us not only of the stormโ€™s fury, but of the resilience that defines the Filipino soul โ€” steadfast, enduring, and unbroken.๐Ÿ•ฏ
