DDC Opens Panagdiwang 2026 With Holy Mass

โ€‹The Davao Doctors College (DDC) community gathered in faith and fellowship as it officially opened its Intramurals with a Holy Mass on September 22, 2026, at St. Jude Thaddeus Shrine Parish. The solemn Eucharistic celebration brought together students, faculty, administrators, and staff from across various academic departments to lay a spiritual foundation before the weekโ€™s athletic and cultural competitions kick off.

โ€‹Coinciding with the Tuesday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time, the liturgy drew deep inspiration from the day's Gospel reading (Luke 8:19โ€“21), where Jesus proclaims that His true mother and brothers are "those who hear the word of God and act on it." The message resonated strongly throughout the congregation, reminding the DDC community that genuine success and identity are built on active faith, unity, and shared action rather than mere titles or affiliations.

โ€‹The service was attended by delegates, student, and campus leaders who offered prayers of petition for safety, physical resilience, and emotional strength during the multi-day event. Beyond asking for protection against injuries, prayers were dedicated to fostering true sportsmanship, integrity, and mutual respect, urging all participants to live out Godโ€™s word through fair play, discipline, and healthy competition.

โ€‹Marking the formal start of Panagdiwang 2026, the Mass united the school community in spirit and enthusiasm. As the final blessing was bestowed, a renewed sense of pride, camaraderie, and purpose filled the congregation, setting an uplifting and righteous tone for the exciting days of Intramurals ahead.

Madalas kong nakikita ang sarili sa isang sulok ng V. Mapa. Sa tapat ng mga establisyemento at kabahayan na napapalibutan ng mga daang nag-uugnay sa ibaโ€™t ibang lugar sa bayan.

Para sa karamihan, isa lamang itong lansangan. Ngunit para sa ilan, ito ay isang lugar na pinipili mong balikan, hindi dahil kailangan, kundi dahil sa tuwing aalis ka ay may isang bagay na sa iyo ay naiiwan.

[๐‘ด๐’Š๐’๐’”๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ฒ๐’‚๐’‘๐’†]

Isang baso ng Kape de Leche matapos ang mahabang klase. Isang malamig na upuan matapos ang sunod-sunod na duty. Isang mesa sa gilid habang hinihintay ang susunod na subject, ang susunod na tao, o ang lakas ng loob para harapin ang susunod na gawain. Sa pagitan ng mga tawanan, tunog ng mga baso at mahinang ingay sa kalsada, may mga sandaling hindi naman kailangang maging espesyal. Minsan, sapat nang may hawak kang kape at may lugar kang mapagpapahingahan.

[๐‘ด๐’‚๐’…๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’” ๐‘บ๐’‚๐’“๐’Š๐’๐’Š.]

Minsan ang hinahanap natin ay ilang minutong walang nagtatanong kung kumusta tayo, walang deadline na humahabol, at walang kailangang patunayan. Kaya minsan, mag-isa kang uupo. Ilalapag ang bag sa tabi, hahawakan ang baso, at hahayaang lumipas muna ang mundo sa harap mo.

Dito madalas na nabubuo ang mga kwentong maka-makata, at naluluwal ang mga kwentong may dalang pagsubok, pangarap at pag-asa. Dito madalas napupunan ng mga salita at ng sagot ang mga bagay na dapat matagal nang nakita.

May mga pagkakataong ang pinakamalaking anyo ng tapang ay ang pag-upo muna at paghinga. Ang pag-amin sa sariling pagod. Ang pagtanggap na hindi lahat ng sagot ay kailangang makita sa isang araw. At sa pagitan ng isang higop at isa pang sandali, marahil ay unti-unti mong nauunawaan na hindi naman pala kailangang laging may kasamang iba upang hindi makaramdam ng pag-iisa.

[๐‘ด๐’Š๐’๐’”๐’‚๐’ ๐‘ฒ๐’‚๐’š๐’.]

Gayunpaman, may mga gabing hindi sapat ang sarili lamang. May mga kuwentong mas masarap sabihin kapag may nakikinig, at may mga tawanan na mas buo kapag may kahati. Dito rin humahaba ang mga kuwentuhang dapat sanaโ€™y saglit lamang, ngunit inaabot ng hatinggabi. Mula sa alaala ng tropa hanggang sa mga kalokohan sa paaralan, mula sa mabibigat na problema hanggang sa mga bagay na walang saysay ngunit nakakatawa pa rin.

๐˜‹๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜จ.

Hindi lamang sa ingay ng paligid, kundi sa mga kuwentong dala ng mga taong kasama ko. Sapagkat tulad ko, bawat isa ay may sariling pagod na hindi nakikita, sariling pangarap na pilit binubuo, at sariling mga laban na tahimik na nilalabanan. Sa isang mesa, maaaring magsama-sama ang magkakaibang buhay at, kahit sandali, makahanap ng pahingang pare-pareho.

[๐‘ด๐’‚๐’…๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’”, ๐‘ป๐’‚๐’š๐’]

At sa mga araw na gusto kong ipagdiwang ang tahimik kong mga panalo, gaya ng pagraos ko sa isang mahaba at nakakapagod kong araw, ang una kong naiisip ay ikaw.

Ikaw sa kabilang dulo ng lamesang pumapagitna sa ating dalawa, habang pinagmamasdan ko ang tahimik mong pagtawa.

Natuto na yata ang mga paa ko sa koryong magtungo sa lugar na kung saan, kahit hindi man palaging tahimik, ay masaya naman at payapa.

At marahil, iyon ang dahilan kung bakit paulit-ulit tayong bumabalik sa mga lugar na hindi kailangang may dahilan para manatili.
