As the school year comes to an end, we recognize how endurance has shaped our resilience along the way. Yet, without the love of friends and family to sustain us, the journey would have been far more difficult.

As we look back, let’s take a moment to explore the experiences of Academy students that have shaped their definition of love.

𝐏𝐨𝐞𝐦 𝐛𝐲: 𝐒𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐲

Let the world have its red and its lace,
Its candy hearts in a cardboard case.
For I have found a truer art,
A love that’s written on my heart.

You are the ink, the steady hand,
The reason that my soul can stand.
While earthly valentines decay,
Your perfect love is here to stay.

When I was lost, a wandering sheep,
Your shepherd’s love, it climbed the deep.
It left the ninety-nine behind,
Just to bring this heart of mine.

Back to the fold, back to the feast,
Back to the greatest and the least.
That is the love I hold today,
A love that would not let me stray.

So on this day of cupid’s bow,
This is the truth I come to know:
No flower fades, no setting sun,
Can match the love of God the Son.

It is not fragile, not a game,
It does not waver, not a flame
That flickers out when winds are rough.
My God is love, and that’s enough.

On February 14, 2026, the Central Philippine Adventist College–Academy (CPAC-A) concluded its Voice of Youth evangelistic series with a message of hope during the Sabbath program held at the academy.

Rhyzebel Maantos delivered the final sermon titled “The Coming of the King,” emphasizing that despite the world’s struggles with poverty, violence, and crime, there remains hope in Jesus’ promised return.

Maantos also warned about the deceptions and temptations of Satan, encouraging students to rely on the Bible as their guide to avoid being misled, as highlighted in Matthew 24:30. She explained that Christ’s second coming will be visible, loud, and powerful, citing Revelation 16:18–20 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17.

Concluding her message, she affirmed that the same Jesus who once lived on earth will return in glory, offering hope for a better future.

The sixth day of the evangelistic series “Voice of Youth” was held on February 13, 2026, at the Central Philippine Adventist College–Academy chapel, featuring health and spiritual messages that strengthened students’ faith amid life’s challenges.

The evening began with a health lecture delivered by Hailey Luaya, a Grade 10 student, who discussed caffeine as a commonly consumed stimulant among teens and adults. She explained its effects on sleep, the nervous system, and overall health, emphasizing that caffeine does not truly create energy but only draws from the body’s stored reserves. An intermission number by the Torch Lighters, a group of junior high school students, followed and added inspiration to the service.

The program concluded with a Gospel message presented by Nathan Sunico, a Grade 9 student, who addressed the question, “If God Is Good, Why Is There So Much Suffering?” He explained that while God allows challenges, He is not the source of suffering, which results from sin and the works of Satan. By highlighting the story of Job, the message reminded students of God’s goodness and encouraged them to remain faithful despite life’s difficulties.

Through its health and spiritual presentations, Day 6 of the Voice of Youth series continued to build knowledge and awareness among students while strengthening their understanding of faith and responsible living.
