HTC SHINES IN THE FIGHT AGAINST VAW

We're proud to have participated in the culmination of CHEd RO 12's 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women.

As one of the members of the lead institutions in Region 12, HTC is committed to promoting a culture of respect and zero tolerance for violence against women and children.

Our delegation led by our President Dr Rey Albano & VP Acad, Dr Marilou Albano who delivered a Solidarity Message for HTC and other GAD focal persons, Joana Gene C. Patling LPT, COAP, Sarahme Galabin-Ladica RPm, Farrah Hannah Vicentino RPm, and Marriane Erika Fuentebella CHRP, showed their support for the cause.

The event was made more vibrant with our all-women colors and the dynamic performance of our HTC Handuraw Dance Ensemble, led by Sir William Badiang!

Let's continue to and !

With the national 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women, the Guidance and Testing Center calls on our learners, faculty, and staff to transform awareness into meaningful action.

Let this be our shared commitment:
• 𝑷𝑹𝑶𝑻𝑬𝑪𝑻 your peers. A safe school is everyone’s responsibility.
• 𝑺𝑷𝑬𝑨𝑲 𝑼𝑷 when you witness harm. Silence allows violence to continue.
• 𝑺𝑼𝑷𝑷𝑶𝑹𝑻 survivors with empathy. Believe their stories and guide them toward help.

A VAW-free Philippines starts with a VAW-free school environment.
When we choose kindness, courage, and compassion, we help build a community where everyone can learn and grow without fear.

This year’s campaign emphasizes the call to break the silence, promote safe homes and communities, empower victims and survivors to seek help, and strengthen institutions that protect the vulnerable.
Violence against women is not just a private issue—it is a community, social, and human rights concern. Through education, compassion, and united action, we can build a society where every woman and child lives with dignity, safety, and respect.

FACT or MYTH? Let’s talk about Drug Prevention Awareness!

This November, as we observe Drug Prevention Awareness Month, let’s take a moment to reflect and ask ourselves: Do we really know the truth about drug use? Many of the things we hear are actually myths, and knowing the facts can help protect lives. 💚

Let’s stay informed, make responsible choices, and promote awareness, integrity, and responsibility within our school community. Together, we can stand for a safer and drug-free environment!

Every choice we make shapes the kind of environment we live in. Let’s stand together for a drug-free Holy Trinity College, guided by 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮. 💪

Practicing drug prevention awareness helps us protect not only our physical and mental health but also the safety and harmony of our campus. Together, let’s continue building a community where every Trinitarian can grow, thrive, and make positive choices. 💚

The 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 successfully conducted a wellness seminar last October 28, 2025, at the Macario Catalina Building, Holy Trinity College, with the theme: “𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦: 𝘈 𝘚𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 & 𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘛𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺.”

Our esteemed Resource Speaker, 𝗦𝗶𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗙. 𝗜𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼, 𝗠𝗔, 𝗥𝗣𝗺, 𝗥𝗚𝗖, Guidance Counselor and Graduate School Professor from Notre Dame of Dadiangas University, enlightened the faculty with the Japanese concept of 𝙄𝙠𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙞 – “𝙖 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜.” His discussion reignited the passion and purpose of teachers by helping them rediscover what gives meaning to their profession.

Through a series of reflective discussions and engaging activities centered on Ikigai, participants explored their motivations, resilience, and personal growth as educators, strengthening both their well-being and sense of purpose.

This seminar was made possible through the initiative of 𝗠𝗮’𝗮𝗺 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘇, 𝗟𝗣𝗧, SHS Sports Coordinator; 𝗠𝗮’𝗮𝗺 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗵 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝗗𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮, 𝗟𝗣𝗧, SHS Academic Head; and 𝗠𝗮’𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗘𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗮 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮, SHS Guidance Advocate.

Through this, the institution’s commitment to teacher wellness, motivation, and mental resilience was evident, fostering a learning community that continues to grow together with purpose and passion.

🌸 You Are Not Alone 🦋

Like flowers, we all go through seasons of growth. Like butterflies, we all go through changes. These moments are natural -- yet sometimes, it’s also natural to feel lost, stuck, or alone in your journey.

Let this post serve as your reminder: 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲. 🌤️
Somewhere out there, others are also learning, healing, and growing just like you. 🌱

Take things one day at a time. You deserve the chance to grow, to live, and to bloom in your own time. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, and in choosing to live by kindness, you're not only giving yourself a chance, but others as well.
