Hiding behind the highlight reel of who you are, is the real you and that person is just as worthy of love. There is nothing more terrifying or fulfilling, than complete love, it's worth the risk. reach for it."

The Path to Leadership; The Path to Success

The word leadership is often misinterpreted, some say that it refers to power, but no. It refers to the path to success.

The flames of the competition has been lit for the upcoming SSLG (Supreme Secondary Learners Government) as three party lists emerged from the depths. During June 5, 2023 at 7:00 am in the morning, each one introduced themselves for preparation for the upcoming election.

During the remaining time of classes, each partylist roamed the campus, presenting each other's uniqueness by creating platforms that will make the school a safe and enjoyable environment to all Bernardians. Each candidate also gave their grounds on being a student leader by showing why they deserve their position.

The staffers were also urged to "continue to bring out what others need to know, show fairness in any news, and show wisdom in every article they write and share."

The Hillside Chronicle and Ang Bagong Sikat expressed their gratitude to Kuya Ali for picking them up right at the time needed and getting them safely to and from the contest venue;
