After several years of suspension brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, Fort Bonifacio High School officially reopened its intramurals on October 1, 2025. Spearheaded by the MAPEH Department, the event marked a more organized and systematic approach to the long-awaited tradition.

To foster camaraderie and healthy competition, all students and teachers were grouped into four main houses.

Within the four walls of a classroom are our teachers who guide us to our dreams, shouldering roles that extend far past our classroom doors.

What truly defines a teacher then? Simply put, a teacher is not only measured by his mastery of the subject matter; he is defined by his devotion to his tasks long after the bell has rung. A teacher may be a parent, big brother or sister, artist, custodian, coach, nurse, and everyone imaginable.

This National Teachers' Month, The Citizen honors the many hats our teachers wear with passion and grace-- proving that teaching is not only a profession, but a lifelong calling.

Folklore Cosplay, Poster-Slogan Contest Spotlight FBHS SHS Buwan ng Wika Fest
by Michell Buenavista

Folklore cosplay and poster-slogan contest highlighted the “Buwan ng Wika” celebration held at the Fort Bonifacio High School Audio-Visual Room on August 15, 2025.

Grade 12 representatives showcased Filipino folklore characters such as Bathala, Apo Laki, Tikbalang, among others, with each participant using recyclable materials like garbage bags, paper, plastic straws, and cartons to create their unique costumes.

With the theme “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa,” Senior High School teacher Ryan Escolano’s opening remarks reminded students that the Filipino language is intertwined with the country’s history and culture.

“Ito ay sumasagisag hindi lamang sa pagkakakilanlan o identidad ng bawat isa sa ating naririto, bagkus ito’y nakaugat sa malalim na kasaysayan. Ang wika ay kabuhol ng ating kultura at ang ating wika at kultura ay bunga ng ating kasaysayan,” [This symbolizes not only the identity of each of us here, but it is deeply rooted in history. Language is an integral part of our culture; and our language and culture are the result of our history,”] Escolano said.

Aaron Clarin (12- Comerford) and Shaira Enclonar (Gurango) emerged as champions in the cosplay contest, with Timothy Carlos (Del Rosario) and Rea Nacita (Leviste) as first runners-up, and Kavin Runtal (Torre) and Elysa Gamil (Torre) as second runners-up.

In the poster-slogan contest, Section Atienza claimed the championship, followed by Section Borromeo as first runner-up and Section Torre as second runner-up.

Fort Bonifacio High School’s (FBHS) School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (SDRRMC) Head Coordinator, Jose Dela Peña, encouraged students to always be prepared for calamities during the presentation of the organization’s Action Plan for 2025–2026.

Held at the library on August 15, 2025, the program highlighted how preparedness could help prevent further damage and possible injuries in times of emergencies.

“Mas maganda nang maging handa tayo” [“It’s better to be prepared”], Dela Peña said in his lecture entitled Education in Emergencies (EiE).

The evacuation plan—including designated stairways, exits, destinations, and the dos and don’ts during an emergency—was discussed by Mark Chavez, SDRRMC Assistant Coordinator.

Participants of the program included class presidents, members of the FBHS Boy Scouts of the Philippines and Red Cross Youth, the Barangay Northside captain, the head of the Public Order and Safety Office (POSO), the chief guard, the utility head, and a representative of the Parent-Teachers Association (PTA).
