In our sleepless nights, we struggle yet strive,
to chase our dreams that keep hopes alive.
For every effort we exert, let us rise and fight.
Our sacrifices sown will then yield their light.

Through the struggles we have faced and doubts addressed,
may we find common answers to those distress.
Gathering hopes to keep our progress,
may all our sacrifices turn into success.

𝗠𝗮𝗮𝗮𝗿𝗶 𝗯𝗮 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗮 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝘁?

Gusto ko lang muling maramdaman ang iyong yakap na napakahigpit. Ikukwento ko lamang ang mga karanasan na nagbigay sa'kin ng pait, mga pagsubok na puno ng sakit, at mga taong nagbigay sa'kin ng pasakit. Pipiliin ko pang umiyak sa'yong tabi kaysa ikubli ko ito ng pilit.

Kung maaari lang kitang dalawin diyan sa langit

Ibabalik ko lamang ang oras at muling susulitin. Ipapabaon ko rin itong mga regalo kong hindi mo nagamit at magbabakasali sa mga anghel na ang oras pahintuin.
Hindi ko na kasi kaya simula ng ako'y iyong lisanin.
Nakakatampo`t hindi kita kasama sa mga lugar na pinangarap nating libutin, mga palabas na sabay panonoorin at ipagluluto sana kita ng paborito mong pagkain.
Kahit na saglit lang, nais kitang yayain.

Kung may isang hiling ako sa langit

Ito yung makasama kang muli't makapiling. Sana'y matanggap mo ang aking mga matatamis na mensahe sa pamamagitan ng bawat panalangin. At kung may hadlang man sa atin; ito`y hindi pa ang tamang panahon upang magkasama ulit.
Hihintayin na lang siguro kita sa muli nating paglalapit diyan sa langit.

𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘂-𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗼

Ngayong araw ng pag-alala sa mga yumaong kaluluwa,
Ipagdiwang, hindi ang pagkawala nila, subalit ang maliligayang memorya.
Kaakibat ng sinindihang kandila at mapagnilay na patak ng luha,
Gunitain mga sandaling kasama sila't dama pa kanilang presensiya.

Kahalintulad ng isang paru-parong nagbabago ng anyo;
Nilalanghap ang mabulaklak na samyo at sa hangin dumadapo,
Lilipad sila patungo sa kabilang dako ng payapang mundo.

Minamahal na mga yumaong nakatatak sa aming puso,
Naranasan man ang dilim nang kayo'y humayo,
'Di hahayaang maging malungkot ang mga bibigkasing kwento,
Pagkat hindi man kumpleto, ala-ala niyo'y palaging buo at totoo.

At kung dalawin man ng paru-parong lumilibot sa hardin,
Hihiling na ang katahimika'y sa inyo makarating.
Ipagpupugay kayo't ipapanalangin nang taimtim,
Sa araw na ito, salamisim niyo'y buhay at nakayakap sa amin.

Today, the Catholic Church celebrates All Saint’s Day, which is held every 1st of November and the first Sunday after the Pentecost. It is a day where all the saints of the church commemorate and honor their deeds, teachings, and inspirational stories who are now in heaven. It was established by Pope Gregory III, also known as “All Hallows’ Day.”

All Saints' Day was formally started by Pope Boniface IV, who consecrated the Pantheon at Rome to the Virgin Mary and all the Martyrs on May 13, 609 AD. Boniface IV also established All Souls' Day, which follows All Saints.

In the Philippines, the celebration of the said feast is not just about honoring known and unknown saints; it is also the time for them to remember deceased family members and friends who passed away. It is a public holiday, which means there is no school or work on this day. As their tradition, people come to their respective cemeteries as they clean graves, attend solemn mass, and prepare necessities including candles, foods, and tents together with the family members in preparation for the “All Souls Day.”

Let's remember all the important saints who have influenced our religion and ask for intercession by requesting help with our studies and even personal needs.

Have a blessed Halloween and All Saints’ Day to all, TUPCians!

𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗦 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦: TUPC Grayhawks Soar Past SLC Sailors to Grab First Win in the Tournament

The TUPC Grayhawks secured their first victory in the DCAA tournament with a decisive win over the SLC Sailors, 113-87. The match took place at Ugnayang La Salle, De La Salle University-Dasmarinas, on October 29.

Hungry for a win, the Grayhawks entered the match with a mission to showcase their dominance. They began the game poised to claim their first victory of the season. In the first quarter, star point guard Lance Ramirez led the team in scoring, finishing with 10 points and helping the Grayhawks establish a 24-12 lead.

The Grayhawks continued their strong offensive performance and effective defense in the second quarter, not allowing the Sailors to close the gap. They ended the half with a 47-38 advantage. Despite a commendable effort from Sailors forward Torres, who scored 10 points in the second quarter, it was not enough to overcome the deficit.

The third quarter saw both teams maintaining their strategies. The Grayhawks focused on running the floor and creating space, which resulted in numerous three-point opportunities and transition baskets. Team captain Alpha-Meruz Egamino excelled in three-point shooting, further improving the team’s spacing. Big men Matthew Jyles Kuan, Joshuanel Golena and Jerome Duban dominated the paint and the boards that allowed the team to double their lead.
In the fourth quarter, fatigue set in for the Sailors, who were limited to just seven players. Transition baskets came easy for the Grayhawks. The Grayhawks effectively shut down Torres’s scoring ability and controlled the game, finishing with a 26-point lead. The Grayhawks offense proved to be balanced as five Grayhawks players scored in double digits during the match.
