Iba iba man ang kwento ng pagiging ama. May mga tatay na kayang gawing mas magaan ang buhay tulad nina ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐ ๐น๐ at ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ na sa simpleng pagpapatawa at pagiging totoo ay nagbibigay saya sa kanilang pamilya at sa maraming Pilipino. May mga tatay ding tulad nina ๐ซ๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐ at ๐ซ๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐ na laging present at handang suportahan ang mga pangarap ng kanilang mga anak sa kahit anong landas nila piliin. May mga tatay naman tulad ni ๐ฒ๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ na ipinapakita na ang pagmamahal ay nananatili kahit sa gitna ng matinding pagsubok. At mayroon ding mga ama tulad ni ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ na pinatunayan na walang limitasyon at kapansanan ang makakahadlang sa pagpaparamdam ng pagmamahal sa isang anak.
Iisa lang ang patunay. Walang hihigit sa wagas na pag ibig ng isang tatay.
To all the fathers, father figures and those who bravely stepped up to be a dad, this is your day. We see your silent battles, your daily sacrifices and your unconditional love.

As one chapter ends, another begins.
On ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐๐, ๐๐๐๐ the CICS Student Organizations' Turnover Ceremony was held at the CICS Lobby, marking the transition of leadership for Bytes and LinkCode. The event honored the dedication and service of the outgoing officers while warmly welcoming the incoming leaders who are ready to continue serving the CICS community with passion and purpose. Messages from the outgoing and incoming presidents of both organizations highlighted the importance of leadership, dedication and commitment in fostering a stronger student community.
May this new chapter inspire continued collaboration, innovation and service among CICS student leaders as they strive to create meaningful impact for the years ahead.
