With floods and heavy rains continuing to affect our areas, keeping open lines of communication is crucial for everyone’s safety. We know how stressful it is to face power outages, signal drops, or run out of load when trying to reach family or ask for emergency assistance.

To ensure our fellow scholars stay safe and connected during this crisis, the 𝑩𝑷𝑺𝑼–𝑫𝑶𝑺𝑻 𝑶𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒔 is offering 𝑭𝑹𝑬𝑬 𝑺𝑴𝑺 𝑳𝑶𝑨𝑫 to those in urgent need.

At a time when everyone is struggling, no one should have to go through it alone. Some families are currently facing significant challenges as a result of the ongoing heavy rains, floods, and severe weather conditions. We are concerned about seeing those affected by the habagat in vulnerable situations. As a result, we cannot simply stand by and watch them suffer without intervening.

With heavy hearts, the 𝑩𝑷𝑺𝑼-𝑫𝑶𝑺𝑻 𝑶𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒔 is organizing an 𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞. The funds raised will be donated to families affected by the rains and used to organize SMS broadcasts to save lives, issue important warnings, and communicate with our scholars in affected areas.

In times of crisis and uncertainty, our unity, empathy, and collective action serve as our strongest shield. We humbly ask for your kindness, quick response, and prayers as we work together to support those who need it most. Please continue to stay safe, keep vigilant, and check on one another.

As we continue to face the impact of Hanging Habagat, the BPSU-DOST Organization of Scholars (BPSU-DOS) reminds everyone to stay alert, stay informed, and stay safe.
Now more than ever, preparedness can save lives. Make sure your households are stocked with clean water, food, medicine, and power sources. Remain attentive to the latest announcements from your local government units.
To further help you respond quickly in times of distress, we’ve compiled the official emergency hotlines per municipality in Bataan. These numbers can connect you to urgent assistance for rescue, health, safety, or relief concerns.
⚠️ Please be reminded that prank calls to emergency hotlines are strictly prohibited and punishable by law. These lines must remain open for real emergencies.

📣 Let’s continue to be each other’s lifeline.

𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐆𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐃 𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐍𝐈

Care, Save, Immortalize : Earth recognizes and appreciates the efforts of everyone who contributed to this year’s Gawad Batang Bayani (GBB), including the university offices and personnel who continuously support student organizations in their projects and activities. We believe that their work deserves acknowledgment and appreciation.

However, as a student organization that was not invited to this year’s GBB, we also believe that it is important to express our concern regarding the exclusion of several student organizations from a ceremony intended to recognize student leadership.

For almost 17 years, CSI: Earth has remained committed to serving the university community through environmental advocacy, initiatives, and activities that extend beyond the campus. Like many student organizations, we have continued this work not because we expect awards or recognition, but because we believe in the purpose behind our service.

Still, recognition holds meaning. Gawad Batang Bayani is not simply about receiving an award. For student leaders, it is an opportunity to have their time, sacrifices, and contributions acknowledged. For graduating student leaders especially, it may be one of their final opportunities to be recognized for the years they dedicated to serving their organizations and community.

As they call it, Batang Bayani. A Batang Bayani is not defined by an award, but by the service and their dedication for the students and community. Not everyone may be awarded, but every Batang Bayani deserves to be recognized. If the very students who spent the year serving are the ones being left out, then what is Gawad Batang Bayani without them?

Reflecting on the importance of recognition, one of our student leaders shared:

“The award may only last for a night, but ‘yung years of service behind it don’t.

Sa mga tulad nating student leader, ‘yung recognition kasi isn’t the destination eh…it’s simply that moment when someone stops and says, ‘We saw you serve.’ And sometimes, for someone who has spent years serving quietly, being seen is already more than enough.

We, student leaders, deserve better. Our service should never be treated as an afterthought in a celebration created for us.”

Our concern is, ultimately, about who should have been prioritized for recognition. We do not believe that recognizing administrative and non-teaching offices is inherently wrong. We acknowledge their important role in supporting student organizations, and we are genuinely grateful for the assistance they provide. However, if limitations in venue, capacity, or resources required some student organizations to be excluded, it is reasonable to ask why the limited space and time were not first prioritized for the students whom GBB was created to honor.

We hope that the incoming student leadership will take this matter into consideration and work toward a clearer and more inclusive system for future GBB ceremonies, where every student organization that has meaningfully contributed to the university community is given a fair opportunity to be recognized.

If we don’t speak now, there is no guarantee that student leaders won’t be excluded anymore from opportunities that are supposedly meant to recognize them.

CSI: Earth will continue to serve regardless of recognition. But we also believe that those who dedicate their time and effort to serving the community deserve to know that their work has not gone unseen.

As our delegates bid farewell to the campgrounds of leadership and purpose, the memories and experiences of the camp stay with them. Reading through their reflections on this adventure, we are reminded of the core values instilled in them:

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞
𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲
𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩

These are the 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 every scholar-leader connects to throughout their journey—𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 them in times of crisis, 𝐫𝐞-𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 their sense of purpose, and anchoring the hearts of those who lead with 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲.

Leadership 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 a final destination; it’s an aspiration. It isn't always easy, but with an outlook of optimism, every stretch of the road—through the rough paths or whatnot—all leads to being an example for those 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐲, 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥.

As 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 reaches its end—each step reminding us to uplift others through leadership; having the 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, the journey must go on. This travel may reach its end, but there are many more to come. 🥳✈

We may leave the campgrounds, but the valuable lessons and experiences shall have 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. May we re-ignite the flames of the Filipinos and be the fuel for success of our country. ❤🔥🫡

From the vast wilderness of Central Luzon, only a handful of feathers happened to drift in the same direction. Fate called it coincidence—we chose to call it home. Beyond the lectures, workshops, and leadership challenges, the camp became a place where strangers turned into friends, and friends became family. ❤️‍🩹✨

Though the camp has come to an end, the memories, friendships, and bonds we built will continue to inspire us long after we have returned home. May the learnings we have garnered in a span of 5 days provide clarity to the core values of DOST-SEI: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽. ❤️‍🔥🫂

Until our paths cross again, R3 scholars! Spread your wings widely—keep soaring, keep serving, and keep leading with purpose. 🪽🍃
