Teachers help us visualize,
direct, and share our accomplishments.
They counsel us on our shortcomings
and inspire us with a passion for truth and knowledge,
which illuminates the path of our youth.
Our prospects will improve,
having imparted valuable lessons.
Every poet, philosopher, and successful person in life, even kings,
begins with a teacher and the wisdom they provide.
For every smile that grows and for every objective achievedโ
Happy Teacher's Day!
Salute to everyone who imparts life lessons to us!

USM PALMA held a two-day training as part of the campusโ 5th Founding Anniversary last August 29 and 30, 2024 for Intensive Fact-Checking and Digital Literacy Training in partnership with Probe, Vera Files, and MindaNews at Montay, Libungan, Cotabato.
Probe chose USM PALMA for its fact-checking campaign, led by Ms. Jen Aquino, the managing editor. The team included Ms. Julie Nealega, a Probe archivist, the truth defenders, Mathilda Airlines, a social justice activist and advocate in Manila, Chef Gelo Guison, a food content creator and social media influencer, partner fact checkers, Yas Ocampo from MindaNews and Valerie Nuval from Vera Files.
On the first day of the Truth School Caravan, the event kicked off with Jen Aquino introducing the Probe. She emphasized that Probe is not just about video production; it originates from a deep desire to help the younger generation understand societal contexts.
Chef Gelo Guison shared his insightful remarks about integrity. He quoted, โCheating in the small things will result in cheating in the bigger place in the futureโ. Guison also emphasized the importance of character and excellence, and posed a crucial question: "Maging parte ba kayo ng problema o maging parte kayo ng solusyon?"
Mathilda Airlines continued the discussion. She advocated for progressive change by revisiting history and said everyone has a story to tell, whether disinformation or truth. Additionally, as she discussed archives, she quoted โMahalaga na may resibo tayo, dahil kung wala tayong resibo wala tayong mapapatunayanโ.
After sharing wisdom and reminders from the content creators, USM PALMA students were allowed to ask questions, voice their concerns, and even share what they had learned from the discussions.
Jen Aquino concluded the first day of the workshop with a motivating reminder. She encouraged the participants to embrace their roles as the next generation of leaders, regardless of their preferences. Aquino also quoted, โHuwag matakot na gamitin ang voice ninyo, dahil kayo ang susunod na papakinggan ng mas bata pa sa inyo. Be yourself, show your truth. Hindi kailangang maging magaling na journalists para labanan ang disinformationโ
The last day of Truth School Caravan was only participated by the Siugdayaw Editorial Board, USM PALMA ASG and LSG officers, and two representatives coming from different academic and non-academic student organizations. The workshop was held at the BSHM Building and the Probe team, Verafiles, and Mindanews still facilitated it.
Valerie Nuval, from Verafiles shared with all participants how to fact-check and combat fake news. After that, Yas Ocampo from MindaNews taught the participants how to think critically and wisely to identify whatโs authentic and not in texts, pictures, or videos/clips.
To officially end the two-day workshop, Ms. Jen Aquino and Mathilda Airlines distributed Probe Archive certificates with bonus merch to the students who participated on the second day.
The two-day Truth School Caravan reminds USM PALMA students to be more mindful and open-minded in receiving and sharing information. Probe introduced the fact-checking campaign to combat disinformation and misinformation on any social media platform. This initiative has equipped Palmanians' ability to perceive what is real and fake in a digital and real world, reinforcing their role in fostering a more informed and responsible society.
