One Step Closer

   This 3rd grading period, I have felt how tiring and draining it was for us. There were lots of sleepless nights, and every each of us were deprived for sleep. It was all because of the numerous activities from our school. It could be physical activities, written works and quizzes. Though, no matter how tiring it was, we still managed to have fun, enjoy, and get through it. For so many blood, sweat and tears spent, we're now almost in the final step.  As this quarter ends, I have realized that we all went through a lot. Yet, those hardships we went through really paid off. I saw how hard we all worked for our achievements, especially if it was an as a whole class output. No matter how challenging it was, it was never a reason for us to give up. We're now 1 step closer to the end, and I am beyond proud for all of the achievements we have done. To more greater achievements!!

The 25th of March was the 121st High School Day Celebration, with the theme "Renewed Commitment in Defying Odds to Transcend Heights of Excellence of Solidarity" and with the event being split into three main sections: the Thanksgiving Day mass, the main program, and the field demonstration.  All thanks to the teachers who worked hard on preparing this event, big bright smiles were seen from everyone. Though it brings back a lot of memories, it was fun making a whole new lot of them again. This year's highschool day probabl...

Faithful Devotion: Experiencing Holy Week in the Philippines

 Semana Santa, the Holy Week, holds significant religious and cultural importance in the Philippines as Catholics come together to commemorate the passion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This time of solemn observance is marked by unique and deeply-rooted traditions that are an integral part of Filipino culture. Let's take a closer look at how Semana Santa is celebrated in the Philippines. One of the most notable traditions during Semana Santa is the reenactment of Jesus Christ's crucifixion. In the town of San Pedro Cutud, devoted individuals known as "Kristos" voluntarily undergo the crucifixion as an act of penance and sacrifice. Nailed to wooden crosses, they endure immense pain and suffering to replicate Jesus' ultimate sacrifice. Despite the controversial nature of this practice, it draws crowds of tourists and devotees who witness this profound display of faith and devotion. Another significant tradition during Semana Santa is the "Visita Iglesia,...
