โ€œButiโ€ ay isang salitang balbal sa Kapampangan na nangangahulugang โ€œbakitโ€? o โ€œbakit kayaโ€?

Nalito ka rin ba? Inisip mo rin ba na magkaiba ang nilalayon ng salitang โ€œbutiโ€ sa dalawang ekspresyon na iyan?

Marami sa mga taong hindi Kapampangan ang nalilito sa paggamit ng mga lokal sa salitang โ€œbuti.โ€ Ang โ€œbutiโ€ ay ang payak na anyo ng salita na nagpapahiwatig ng kabutihan. Ito ay kasingkahulugan ng โ€œmabait,โ€ โ€œmahusay,โ€ โ€œmaayos,โ€ at marami pang ibang salitang may kahulugang katumbas ng mga nabanggit.

Sa mga Kapampangan, ang salitang ito ay kadalasang ginagamit sa mga ekspresyon kung saan ang katumbas ay โ€œbakit?โ€ o โ€œbakit kaya?โ€ at itinuturing salitang balbal. Dahil dito, nagkakaroon ng pagkalito o โ€˜di kayaโ€™y pagkagulat ang iba na hindi lumaki kasama ang mga Kapampangan, lalo na kapag ito ay ginamit sa mga pangungusap o ekspresyon na kung saan hindi โ€œbutiโ€ ang karaniwang dapat gamitin.

Ang tila nakatatawang pagkalito dahil sa salitang ito ay sumasalamin sa pagkayaman at patuloy na pagyabong ng mga wika sa Pilipinas. Ipinakikita rin nito kung paano nabago ang mga paraan at salitang ginagamit sa pakikipag-usap sa paglipas ng panahon.

Ang wikang Kapampangan, katulad ng marami pang wika sa bansa, ay may natatanging lalim, bunga ng ating mga kultura na patuloy na humuhubog sa mga salitang ginagamit natin upang makipag-usap araw-araw. Kaya nararapat lamang na patuloy natin itong gamitin at pagyamanin. At kahit ito man ay magbago, dapat pa rin nating pakatandaan kung saan ito nagmula.

On this day 40 years ago, Ninoy Aquino was assassinated as he stepped out of his plane, his death sending shockwaves across the nation.

He was a senator, politician, and father who protested the darkness of Martial law, shedding light onto the injustices and corruption faced by Filipinos everyday. He was a man who fought in spite of imprisonment, sickness, and threats to his life. Once, he said, "The Filipino is worth dying for." And until now, his message lingers in our present.

On this day 40 years ago, Filipinos tied yellow ribbons around trees and marched the streets in yellow, following his example in bringing waves of hope for democracy. 40 years later, let us honor Ninoy Aquino's memory by calling for accountability and justice for past and present victims of corruption, and let us tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree.

Noong ๐‡๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐จ 15, 1997, ipinatupad ni dating Pangulong Fidel V. Ramos ang Proklamasyon Blg. 1041, na nagtatakda sa Agosto bilang Buwan ng Wikang Pambansa upang pahalagahan at itaguyod ang wikang Filipino bilang bahagi ng ating pagkakakilanlan at kultura.

The spark has been lit!

Old and new AB Communication students assembled at the St. John Paul Hall on July 30, 2026, for this year's General Assembly, themed "Silab ng Midya."

The event officially opened with a welcome remark from the College of Arts and Sciences Assistant Dean, Mrs. Cherry Lou de Ala. This was followed by an inspiring talk from the college's Guidance Counselor, Paul Gojar. The department chair, Mrs. Cristina Reyes also addressed the students, reminding them of the school's policies and expectations for the academic year.

This school year's SAMASKOM officers were introduced through a creative and fiery Audio Visual Presentation (AVP) further highlighting the theme fire.

Students showcased their wit and talent by acting out lines from famous movie scenes and testing their knowledge of music in a song guessing game.

As the event came to a close, the floor opened for a question-and-answer session, giving students the opportunity to raise their concerns and ask questions to help them navigate the new academic year with confidence.
