On this blessed day, we are delighted to celebrate the birth of our Blessed Virgin Mary. We are deeply indebted to you for bringing our Savior, Jesus Christ, into the world by your love and obedience.

We rejoice in this day and give thanks for your love, guidance, infinite love and for comforting our sorrows. May the maternal presence of Mary in our lives give us happiness and hope.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death,
Amen.

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 | The Bridge of Spoken Bonds

Literacy is much more than having the ability to read and write—but it is also about having the voice to speak up for the people, opening doors for possibilities, and becoming the path for freedom.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) highlights the significance of literacy to the communities through celebrating 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐲 that recognizes the essential role of the people in achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4, ensuring an inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

International Literacy Day 2024’s theme is "𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞.” With multilingualism being a prevalent practice for many, promoting the adoption of a first language-based, multilingual approach is valuable with its cognitive, pedagogical, and socio-economic benefits to literacy development and education that fosters understanding and becoming a way in achieving lasting peace.

Let us explore the literacy world of creating connections and building harmony through the poem.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬

In every tongue, a bridge is made,
From minds to hearts, where dreams cascade.
In education, we find the keys,
Opening doors to peace with ease.

In a world full of words,
May literacy be the swords.
Beyond the pages, through the screen,
Let echoes of everyone be heard and seen.

Inclusivity amidst cultural issues and diversity,
Achieved with the help of literacy.
Acts as our bridge, firmly clasp serenity,
In every heart, planting a seed of unity.

Every language becomes our light,
Guiding us through the darkest night.
Diversity made a beautiful sight to see,
All thanks to the gifts of literacy.

In the vast space where stories flow,
And every soul seeks to glow,
Literacy becomes the sacred thread,
Weaving bonds where wisdom is spread.

𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 | A Leader, A Visionary, A Community Advocate, KAABAG of Lapu-Lapu City

Today, we celebrate the day of our esteemed Mayor Junard "Ahong" Chan, a remarkable leader whose dedication to Lapu-Lapu City has transformed lives and uplifted communities.

As he marks another year, let us take a moment to reflect on his tireless work, unwavering commitment, and inspiring vision that made a lasting impact. From revitalizing local neighborhoods to promoting sustainability and fostering unity, Mayor Ahong Chan has proven time and again that leadership is about more than the policies being made but it's about the people—the Oponganons.

It is Mayor Ahong Chan's compassion and accessibility that truly resonates with the people. Whether at city hall meetings, local events, or in the heart of the city, he always takes time to listen and advocate for all citizens, ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard.

Mayor Ahong Chan, we celebrate not only your birthday but also your incredible dedication to the community. The ever active, dedicated, and KAABAG of the Oponganons of Lapu-Lapu City.

"Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality,” quoted by Warren Bennis.

Your passion for public service has established a high benchmark for leadership and commitment.

As Nelson Mandela once said, “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” And it is exactly that your dedication and vision have truly transformed the community and enriched countless lives.

On behalf of Lapu-Lapu City College, we wish you a year ahead filled with success, joy, and continued strength in leading the city towards a brighter future.

Happy birthday, Mayor Junard "Ahong" Chan!

𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍 | Guro-verse: Iba’t Ibang Titser, Iba’t Ibang Kulay ng Pagtuturo

Naaalala mo pa ba ang huling sermon ng iyong paboritong g**o? O ang mga nakatutuwang banat ng titser na palaging napapangiti ang buong klase? Ngayong 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬' 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, ginugunita natin ang mga bayani sa likod ng yeso, whiteboard marker, libro, at nakakabusog na mga kwento—ang ating mga g**o!

Sa bawat silid-aralan, laging may isang g**o na hindi malilimutan. Iba’t ibang personalidad, iba’t ibang estilo—lahat sila may kani-kaniyang kwento. Ngayong 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬' 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, alamin natin ang ilang uri ng mga g**o na nagbibigay kulay sa ating buhay-eskwela.

Kung usapang disiplina, mga g**ong 'Strikto' ang nangunguna. Walang estudyanteng puwedeng magtago sa kanilang mala-agilang mata. "Pass your papers in five minutes!" ang laging sigaw, habang ang mga estudyante’y kumakaripas ng takbo’t nag-aagawan ng papel na isusumite. Pero aminin mo, kahit minsan ay nanginginig ka sa takot, saludo ka pa rin sa kanila dahil sa dedikasyon at disiplina.

Kung may kakulitan man sa buhay-eskwela, mga g**ong 'Joker' na ‘yan. Ang bawat tawa sa kanilang klase ay pumapawi ng pagod. Kwento rito, punchline roon—para bang nasa comedy bar ang kanilang klasrum. Pero hindi lang sila puro patawa, dahil pagdating sa lesson, siguradong may aral na makukuha—“Learning with fun,” ika nga!

Sa kanilang klasrum, ang pagiging 'okay lang' ay bawal. Lahat ay dapat “the best” at walang mintis. Sila ang mga g**ong 'Perfectionist' na mayroong mata ng isang agila—lahat ng detalye ay nakikita. Pag sila ang nagtuturo, kahit hindi ka nag-aartista, sa bawat presentasyon ika’y mapapabida.

Kung gusto mong maging aktibo ang mga estudyante, mga g**ong 'Crush ng Bayan' ang perfect teacher mo. Kumbaga sa teleserye, sila ang bidang laging inaabangan. Ang bawat turo nila ay para bang may 'background music' at ang bawat galaw nila’y sinusundan ng mga mata ng kanilang mga fans—este, estudyante. Pero hindi lang dahil sa itsura kaya sila paborito, kung hindi dahil sa husay nilang magturo.

Sa araw ng mga g**o, huwag kalimutang batiin sila ng isang malaking pasasalamat! Sila ang nagsilbing pangalawang magulang at tagapayo, kaya’t sila rin ang bida sa bawat kuwentong eskwela. Ang bawat tawa, takot, at saya ay naging bahagi ng ating pagkatuto, at lahat ng ito ay dahil sa mga g**ong patuloy na nagbibigay ng kanilang puso at kaluluwa sa bawat araw ng pagtuturo.

Sa bawat paaralan, marami pang uri ng mga g**o. Sa kabila ng iba’t ibang personalidad, iisa lang ang kanilang layunin: 𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐨’𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐬𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐨.

𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐋 | Embracing Who We Are

As we celebrate the value of our individual well-being, we also emphasize the importance of supporting people facing issues related to s*xual health. Today, on the inaugural celebration of World Sexual Health Day, with the theme "Positive Relationships," this campaign encourages us to start planning how we can get involved and positively impact each community, continue to raise awareness, and take actions that can help reduce stigma and improve access to essential health resources.

The world is facing serious issues regarding s*xual health that affect individuals across the globe. It is crucial for everyone to embrace cooperation and start holding hands in promoting education and raising awareness in different communities, particularly among marginalized groups that have received fewer educational campaigns.

Through education, the battle against ignorance about s*xual health is mitigated. Everyone should be more open to this concept, as it is a part of life and should not be considered taboo. Trust, respect, and open communication are the foundations of a positive relationship. These values should not be overlooked but rather normalized.

All in all, this annual celebration reminds everyone that 𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝; it is something we should all be mindful of. After all, isn't that what "positive relationships" are truly about?

𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍 | Wikang Filipino: Kaluluwa ng Pagkakakilanlan at Kasarinlan

“Ang hindi magmahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa sa hayop at malansang isda; kaya ating pagyamaning kusa, gaya ng inang sa atin ay nagpala” —Gat. Jose Rizal. Ang mga salitang ito ni Rizal ay hindi lamang simpleng paalala kung hindi isang malalim na pagninilay na ang wika ay ang ating kaluluwa, ang ating pinagmulan, at ang ating kinabukasan.

Sa pagpatak ng buwan ng Agosto, ang buong bansa ay muling nagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika, isang selebrasyon na higit pa sa makukulay na okasyon at masiglang sigawan ng “Mabuhay ang Wika!” sapagkat may mas malalim na kahulugan ang tema ngayong taon na “Filipino: Wikang Mapagpalaya.”

Sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika, hinahamon tayo na kilalanin at yakapin ang Wikang Filipino hindi lamang bilang bahagi ng ating nakaraan, kung hindi bilang instrumento ng ating hinaharap. Paano nga ba natin gagamitin ang ating wika upang tunay na maging malaya? Tayo ba ay magpapadala sa mga impluwensya ng banyaga? Ang sagot ay nasa ating mga dila. Sapagkat ang tunay na kalayaan ay ang kakayahan nating magpahayag ng ating mga saloobin, paninindigan, at adhikain sa wikang atin. Dahil kung mas nagiging makabuluhan ang buhay kapag ito’y napapaligiran ng maraming nagmamahal na tao gayundin ang wika, mas nagiging makulay kapag bilang isang Pilipino ay minamahal, mas pinagyayabong at inaalagaan natin ito.

Ang wika ay hindi lamang kasangkapan ng komunikasyon, ito rin ay ang ating pagkakakilanlan. Sa tuwing sinasambit natin ang wikang Filipino, binubuhay natin ang ating kasaysayan, isang kasaysayang puno ng pakikibaka para sa kalayaan.

Sa huli, ang tanong ay hindi lamang kung paano natin ginagamit ang ating wika, kundi kung paano ito gagamitin upang mapalaya ang ating mga diwa. Sapagkat sa bawat pagkakataong ating pinipili ang wikang Filipino, pinipili rin natin ang kalayaan, kalayaang maging tunay na Pilipino.

𝘋𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘭 𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘬 𝘯𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 “𝗔𝗸𝗼 𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗼.”

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 | A Cornerstone of Democracy

In a nation where the pen is both a weapon and a shield, the battle for truth is fought daily by those who have pledged their lives to the craft of journalism.

Today, August 30, is hereby declared "National Press Freedom Day" in honor of Marcelo H. Del Pilar, the father of Philippine journalism, who wrote under the pen name "Plaridel." Press freedom, a cornerstone of democracy, has never been more critical or more endangered than it is today. Over the years, Filipino journalists have faced threats, harassment, and even death for exposing the truth. Despite these dangers, they persist, driven by a commitment to uncovering the stories that matter. The stories they tell are not just news; they are the lifeblood of our democracy. When journalists are silenced, so too is the public’s right to know.

This is why the fight for press freedom is not just the fight of journalists but of every Filipino who values truth and justice. We must protect national press freedom with the same vigor that we protect all other civil liberties. Let's not wait until it's too late. Let's stand up for the truth, for transparency, and for the freedom that allows our voices to be heard.

National Press Freedom Day reminds us that 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝.

Through their unwavering dedication, selflessness, courage, and love of country, these heroes have left an indelible mark on our history.

Today, anyone can embody the qualities of a hero. Modern heroes come from all walks of life, and their bravery, compassion, and determination to make a difference are truly inspiring. Whether they are fighting for justice, advocating for a cause, or simply showing kindness to those in need, modern heroes remind us that anyone can make a difference. We should strive to be heroes ourselves.

Together, let us take a moment to honor the sacrifices and appreciate the dedication of our national heroes. Let us continue to strive for a better Philippines and protect the future they fought for.

𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 | A Leader, A Visionary, A Community Advocate, KAABAG of Lapu-Lapu City Today, we celebrate the day of our esteemed Mayor Junard "Ahong" Chan, a remarkable leader whose dedication to Lapu-Lapu City has transformed lives and uplifted communities. As he marks another year, let us take a moment to reflect on his tireless work, unwavering commitment, and inspiring vision that made a lasting impact. From revitalizing local neighborhoods to promoting sustainability and fostering unity, Mayor Ahong Chan has proven time and again that leadership is about more than the policies being made but it's about the people—the Oponganons. It is Mayor Ahong Chan's compassion and accessibility that truly resonates with the people. Whether at city hall meetings, local events, or in the heart of the city, he always takes time to listen and advocate for all citizens, ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard. Mayor Ahong Chan, we celebrate not only your birthday but also your incredible dedication to the community. The ever active, dedicated, and KAABAG of the Oponganons of Lapu-Lapu City. "Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality,” quoted by Warren Bennis. Your passion for public service has established a high benchmark for leadership and commitment. As Nelson Mandela once said, “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” And it is exactly that your dedication and vision have truly transformed the community and enriched countless lives. On behalf of Lapu-Lapu City College, we wish you a year ahead filled with success, joy, and continued strength in leading the city towards a brighter future. Happy birthday, Mayor Junard "Ahong" Chan! Words by A. Bangalao, R. Dacayana, and J. Alcuirez Illustration by Al. Tampus Graphics by I. Dungog, N. Berame, and J. Alcuirez

LLCC, by far, has seen previous students achieve remarkable accomplishments within their own arenas, laying a strong foundation for the school’s future endeavors. However, this year marked a historic and exhilarating chapter as we embraced the ALCU experience for the first time, leaving an indelible mark on our history. Let’s take a nostalgic journey back through LLCC's remarkable experience at the memorable ALCU 7 event. From our humble beginnings to the countless moments we cherished together, we express our deepest gratitude to our administrators, educators, staff, Mayor Junard 'Ahong' Chan, and all the supporters who stood by us. United, we faced obstacles, overcame challenges, and celebrated unprecedented milestones. These experiences not only strengthened our resolve but also forged enduring relationships that will last a lifetime. As Rocky Balboa famously said, "Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up." This powerful reminder echoes through our journey, emphasizing that every winner faced tough times but persevered with unwavering determination. With heartfelt gratitude, ALCU remains a significant part of LLCC history. To everyone who joined us on this incredible journey, we extend our sincere appreciation. Let us continue to strive for excellence, inspired by our shared past and looking forward to a bright future. Caption | Ar. Tampus and J. Tibo-tibo Concept Team Leaders | J. Alcuirez and M.

As the academic year draws to a close, let us pause and reflect deeply on the significant milestone of Lapu-Lapu City College, the Ring Hop Ceremony 2024, under the inspiring theme “Beyond the Horizons, Navigating New Beginnings.” "The ring represents the dedication, hard work, and resilience that have brought you [graduates] to this moment. The ring tells a story of the countless hours spent studying, of challenges, and of friendships that you have forged with your classmates. It represents the unwavering support of your families, friends, and mentors/teachers who have guided you along the way," stated Annabeth "Mama Abeth" Cuizon, Lapu-Lapu City Councilor. This ceremony will forever hold a special place in the hearts of LLCCians as they embark on their diverse paths, carrying with them the cherished values and responsibilities that LLCC has lovingly instilled over four transformative years. Our Alma Mater, Lapu-Lapu City College, will always be the beacon that illuminates our future with love, leadership, courage, and competence. Words by S.
