The annual season where families gather together and enjoy foods that taste better when shared with one another. The season that feels so magical increases the hope of people to cling to some miracle before the year finally wraps.

People celebrate Christmas for different reasons: religion, family, and tradition. Nevertheless, one fact is for sure—it's the season of love and giving; it has joined the world together through shared warmth and joy, becoming a global celebration.

Christmas isn't just a day—it's a collection of small things stitched together: meals that have gone cold because of the continuous conversation that cannot seem to stop—filled with stories that are piled inside them for a year, inside jokes that only make sense to some, and the quiet pause when it starts to feel nostalgic even though you're living in the moment.

This isn't just a holiday—it's a small pause for everything that you've gone through over the years. A warm caress holding your body to rest for a day, and a gentle nudge to remind you to enjoy what you have. To believe that a light shines even when the year has been heavy.

Merry everything. May your days be warm, your nights be kind, and your joy be unapologetically full. 🎄✨

“OVER NAMAN SA KALAT
BAKA GUSTO MO NAMAN AKONG SAMAHAN MAG LINIS HUIYY”

On December 6, 2025, the Quezonian Integrity Sentinels led a schoolwide clean-up drive, along with various school organizations including the Supreme Secondary Learners Government, Yes-O club, HUMSS Club, SMAP, and Senior Scouts. Members of their respective organizations voluntarily participated in this occurrence in order to help promote cleanliness in our school community.

The purpose of this event was to preserve the neatness not only of our nature but of our school. This project emphasizes the significance of taking care of our environment and school surroundings, as it can affect our welfare inside the school.

The event started by assigning different places for different people. Male volunteers were assigned to clean the garden behind the school up to the front of the DepEd Building, while the female volunteers were assigned to clean the school quadrangle. Each with their cleaning materials, the volunteers rapidly moved and cleaned the surroundings.

The event was wrapped up by having a small feast among the volunteers, afterwards followed by the awarding of the certificates to commend their active participation in fostering cleanliness inside the campus. Overall, it is visibly evident that the school environment was cleaned due to the clean-up drive.

🌿 Together for a Greener Tomorrow! 🌿

The Quezonians Integrity Sentinels, in collaboration with YES-O, proudly lead this year’s Clean-Up Drive happening on Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 7:00AM - 9:00AM. Let’s unite as empowered Quezonians to protect, preserve, and nurture our environment—one clean step at a time. 💚✨

❤️ Inclusive words 💛 Inclusive actions 💙 Inclusive community

Quezonian Integrity Sentinels hosted an impactful Gender and Development Seminar with the theme “Words Matter: Promoting Inclusive Language in Our School Community.” Student-leaders from various grade levels willingly participated in the seminar to enhance their knowledge regarding the topic. The purpose of the seminar was to highlight the importance of inclusivity in our school community—whether through our words or actions.

The opening of the seminar was led by the Masters of Ceremonies, Ms. Althea C. Divina and Mr. Yoj Elvid John G. Ramos. Ms. Althea Asistores then succeeded with the doxology, followed by the singing of the nationalistic song delivered by Ms. Victoria Sarmiento.

The opening remarks were then given by our beloved school principal, Dr. Angelina B. De Chavez, who wholeheartedly welcomed the participants to the GAD seminar. Our QIS-CIC officers took the stage and joyfully presented their icebreaker in front of the crowd. Lastly, The SSLG Julia Mae Alessandre Echavez meticulously introduced our guest speaker for the seminar, Mr. Ronnel B. Agoncillo Jr.

Mr. Agoncillo opened his topic, The Importance of Inclusive Language, by first connecting with the audience through a short activity where students guessed the gender of an individual shown in a picture. He proceeded with the main highlight of the event, explaining the significance of inclusive language in our school community. Mr. Agoncillo discussed how stereotypes and gender roles greatly impact the development of children. He also taught students how to utilize inclusive language among their peers.

After wrapping up his speech, The Certificate of Appreciation was given to Mr. Agoncillo commemorates his active participation in the seminar. Finally, Mr. Frederick L. Cerillo fluently delivered his inspirational closing remarks to formally close the event. The event concluded with a quick lunch break that served as a reward for the student participants.

Using inclusive language is essential in creating a respectful and welcoming school community where everyone feels valued. Our words have the power to break stereotypes and promote understanding, making inclusivity a shared responsibility for all. 🌈✨

18 Days of Campaign to End Violence Against Women and Children (VAW)

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that around 840 million women around the world have experienced being physically or sexually abused, either by their partner or someone else—that is 1 in 3 of the global women's population.

The campaign for ending VAW ranges from November 25 to December 12. November 25 is the day we celebrate the Elimination of Violence Against Women; December 12 marks the day that the UN protocol adopted the trafficking of persons (notably women and children). These days were chosen to highlight the fact that violence against women and children is not only considered abuse—but rather a human trafficking activity due to the extent these cases can go.

Speaking about one's trauma is not easy.
This campaign aims to give women the courage to break their silence and gather the strength to fight for their rights as women and as humans.

It also aims to raise awareness about all sorts of abuse such as physical, emotional, sexual, and economic abuse that they may have experienced. This activity will promote a better understanding of this matter—VAW is a grave human rights issue and not just a mere problem, private business, or a simple "family matter."

Let's join them during this short period of time and make our world a safer place for them.

👻✨ "Ano ang greatest multo mo?"
Quezonian, let us know in the comment section 👇🏻

Hindi lang ‘yung biglang sumusulpot sa dilim o ‘yung nagpaparamdam tuwing 3 AM—minsan, ang multo natin ay ‘yung mga alaala na ayaw tayong tantanan. ‘Yung taong iniwan pero hindi mo kayang kalimutan. ‘Yung pangarap na muntik mo nang maabot pero kinailangan mong bitawan. O ‘yung sarili mong mga “SANA” na paulit-ulit mong binabalikan kahit alam mong tapos na ang kabanata.

Ang totoo, hindi nakakatakot ang multo—ang nakakatakot ay ‘yung mga alaala nilang patuloy mong binubuhay. Pero siguro, kailangan din nating yakapin na parte sila ng kung sino tayo ngayon. Dahil minsan, para tuluyang makamove on, kailangan mo munang harapin ang multo mo nang hindi na natatakot.

Quezonian, kung sakaling maramdaman mong may kumakatok sa puso mo ngayong gabi… baka hindi ‘yun multo—baka ikaw pa rin ‘yun, tinatawag ang sarili mong handa nang mag-let go. 🕯️💭
