Happy birthday to the Illuminare's Editor-in-chief, Wency! ✨

On this special day, the NTC Psychological Society and the entire Illuminare sends you the warmest and best birthday wishes on your special day! May this year bring you lots of love, success, and blessings. I hope you have a wonderful moments ahead. 🥳

We commemorate the end of the Lenten season as a way of celebrating and remembering the gift of life that Jesus has given us through His sacrifices on the cross. Jesus laid down His life for us and that is the truth, and the sacrifice He made on the cross serves a new beginning for us, and by acknowledging what Jesus did and accepting Him as our Lord and Savior, it grants us the gift of eternal salvation.

The graciousness and love of our Father in Heaven were shown at the cross, and through the righteousness of His Son, Jesus Christ, we were then given the opportunity to be closer and nearer to our Creator. Indeed, the greatest gift that the human race could ever have is the gift of eternal life through Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

Remember the sacrifices of Jesus not just on the Resurrection Day, but as we go on every day, let us learn to glorify and declare with our mouths the goodness and faithfulness of the Lord.

On this solemn Black Saturday, we pause to contemplate the profound words of Isaiah 53:5, which speak volumes about the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. In these verses, we're invited to delve into the depths of his suffering, understanding that it wasn't just physical torment, but a profound demonstration of love, offering redemption and healing to all who embrace him.

Isaiah's prophetic vision beautifully unveils the coming sacrifice of Jesus Christ, where his wounds would serve as the ultimate remedy for our brokenness, reconciling us with God. Through his death, we encounter the purest form of love, paving the way for our salvation.

On this Black Saturday, let us immerse ourselves in quiet contemplation, allowing the significance of Jesus's sacrifice to permeate our souls. May this day serve as a poignant reminder of the immense love that led Jesus to the cross and as a time of anticipation for the hope and joy of his resurrection on Easter Sunday.

On this solemn Good Friday, we reflect on the profound words of Jesus from John 11:25-26. His declaration, "I am the resurrection and the life," encapsulates the essence of hope amidst the darkest hour of his crucifixion. These words carry a timeless message of faith, promising eternal life to all who believe in him.

As we contemplate this scripture on Good Friday, let us find solace in the assurance of Jesus's resurrection and the eternal life he offers. Despite the pain and suffering of the crucifixion, his victory over death brings light and redemption to humanity.

On this Good Friday, may we find comfort and strength in the promise of resurrection and eternal life through Jesus Christ. Let us live each moment in the light of this truth, knowing that our faith in him gives us hope beyond measure.

On this Maundy Thursday, let's reflect on the profound message of love from John 13:34. Jesus's commandment to love one another echoes through time, reminding us of the core essence of Christianity. As we commemorate this day, let's not only remember Christ's act of washing the feet of his disciples but also embrace his example of unconditional love.

In our lives today, amidst all the complexities and challenges, let's strive to embody this love. Let's extend kindness, empathy, and compassion to everyone we encounter, just as Jesus did. In doing so, we honor the true spirit of Maundy Thursday and fulfill the greatest commandment.

May this Maundy Thursday inspire us to love one another deeply and wholeheartedly, just as Christ loves us.

The NTC Psychological Society hosted the first Psychology Pinning Ceremony for the 3rd and 4th year students on March 25th, 2024. The event, aptly titled "PAGLAYAG: A Journey of Future Mental Health Professionals," was filled with pride, introspection, and gratitude as the community acknowledged the hard work and devotion of its future psychologists.

The pinning ceremony served as a poignant reminder of the voyage the students were about to take on. "PAGLAYAG," a Filipino term meaning "voyage" or "journey," aptly described the complex path they would take. As they explored the complexities of the human mind and soul, the ceremony emphasized the value of shared experiences and nurtured connections. Through these interactions, the future mental health professionals hoped to cultivate unfailing empathy, compassion, and resilience—virtues that would serve as invaluable tools on this eye-opening journey.

Guest speaker, Ms. Pat Kathlyn Dione D. Ramirez, echoed this sentiment, encouraging the students to uphold the virtues that underpin their chosen field. She emphasized the importance of promoting mental health awareness, advocating for social change, and fostering inclusivity and acceptance. These core values, she discussed, are the foundation upon which they can build a brighter, healthier future for all.

The NTC Psychological Society expresses heartfelt congratulations to all students that participated in this significant event in their lives. As they engage on this journey, the society hopes that their burning passion for psychology will continue to fuel their hearts, directing them towards a future in which mental health services are accessible throughout every corner of the community.

One of the lessons that we could learn from and apply as we dive into romantic relationships is the quotation above, which pertains to the importance of self-love and preservation before committing to a serious relationship.

We hope you had a plenty of learning experience from the open-talk session with the Pagsinta Seminar, and let us all thrive to become a better version of ourselves, so when the time and opportunity come for us to experience the love we deserve, we will be able to enjoy it to the fullest, without any regrets or thoughts of maybe 💛💙

We are truly thankful for the support and engagement of each attendee, as your presence added value to the discussions and activities held throughout the seminar. We hope that the insights gained and connections made will continue to foster growth and collaboration within the field of psychology.

Thank you, Psychmates, and see you at our next event!

“Ang Kabataan ang Pag asa ng Bayan”
An excerpt from Dr. Jose Rizal

Youth plays an important role in society. Success and defeat are measured by how young adults carry out their roles, and it significantly determines everybody's fate. Dr. Jose Rizal stressed the importance of youth and how vital their existence is to achieving a great future. However, young adults still depend on their understanding of what they experience and how they evolve over a certain period of time within their environment, and that makes it crucial since we live in a fast-paced and perfectionist era. Without properly addressing our youth's sentiments, we can't, therefore, achieve mutual success.

The intent of World Teen Mental Wellness Day is to raise public awareness of the stigma associated with mental health conditions that affect young adults. Furthermore, it seeks to bring attention to the services that teens can use to effectively treat mental health issues. Also, it aims to provide a secure environment where teenagers may voice their feelings without worrying about being judged and can get professional help when needed.

As psychology students, we humbly pledge to provide sufficient assistance to people in need of mental care and uphold the lessons that this day delivers. There are several ways to help; one way is to simply talk to them and let them know that we are here to support them, not to pass judgment.

Let us come together with one intention for everybody and that is to respect anyone’s emotion and validate what they feel, because at the end of the day, one life is just as precious as thousands and even millions of lives.🤗💚

Protect our Future today!

As we honor Women's Month, let us recognize and amplify the voices that have too often been marginalized. Every Filipino woman is a living story, contributing courage, ambition, and compassion to the vibrant narrative of Philippine history. Their tales weave into the fabric of our nation, leaving an enduring legacy of strength and compassion that echoes through the pages of time. Let us celebrate the achievements, both big and small, and champion the dreams and aspirations that drive women forward. In this collective journey, every woman contributes to the symphony of progress, adding unique notes that resonate across generations.

Here's to the women who have broken barriers, shattered glass ceilings, and paved the way for future generations. May this month be a testament to the strides made and a reminder of the work that lies ahead. Let us embrace the power of unity, support, and understanding, fostering an environment where every woman feels empowered to thrive.

Happy Women's Month to the inspiring souls who continue to shape our past, define our present, and illuminate the path towards a brighter, more equitable future. May this month serve as a beacon of hope, inspiration, and appreciation for the remarkable journey of every woman around the world.🫡💜
