🇵🇭 ISANG DEKADA NG PANININDIGAN: We raised the flag for the West Philippine Sea! 🇵🇭

Our school community proudly joined the entire country in making a stand for our sovereignty! On July 6, 2026, we dedicated our Monday Flag-Raising Ceremony and classroom discussions to kickstart the nationwide commemoration of the 10th Anniversary of the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award (happening this July 12, 2026).

Through a week-long special classroom sessions, interactive visual presentations, and meaningful discussions, our students learned about:

🎯 The historical and legal background of the 2016 Arbitral Ruling—a victory won peacefully through international law.

🎯The vital importance of protecting our maritime zones, our marine resources, and our sovereign rights.

🎯The dedication of our modern-day heroes—our brave coast guards, soldiers, and fisherfolk—who continue to safeguard our waters.

By educating our youth, we keep the spirit of patriotism alive. We stand united in our commitment to peace, justice, and a rules-based international order.

Our seas. Our rights. Our future. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! 🇵🇭✨

Peace of Knowledge Mondays returns with another key concept in peacebuilding and development practice.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
𝘐𝘯 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦?

Recent incidents of violence remind us of the importance of building safer, more compassionate, and more peaceful communities.

Nonviolence, or 𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘴𝘢, is the commitment to avoid harming others and to address conflict in ways that uphold human dignity and respect for life. More than simply rejecting violence, it is a way of promoting justice, understanding, and positive change.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗨𝘀?
Peace leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. believed that:
⚫Every person has inherent worth and should be treated with respect, even in times of conflict.
⚫Nonviolence seeks to challenge unjust systems and actions without dehumanizing or harming others.
⚫Lasting peace is achieved through empathy, understanding, and compassion rather than revenge or hostility.
⚫Choosing nonviolence requires strength, restraint, and the ability to respond constructively under pressure.
⚫Nonviolence aims to change hearts, minds, and relationships through persuasion, understanding, and reconciliation.
⚫The methods used to pursue justice must be consistent with the peaceful and just society being sought.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀
Violence leaves lasting wounds on individuals and communities. By promoting nonviolence, we nurture empathy, self-discipline, respect, and peaceful conflict resolution—values that are essential in schools, families, workplaces, and society.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁:
Nonviolence is not weakness. It is the courage to choose understanding over hatred, dialogue over aggression, and peace over harm.

📢 Hello, mga Ka-MunTEENS from Sucat Senior High School and Lakeview Integrated School! ❤️💙

Ngayong July 2026, muli nang magiging operational ang ating 2 School-Based MunTEEN Centers upang patuloy na magbigay ng youth-friendly services sa ating mga kabataan. Kabilang dito ang mga lecture at information sessions tungkol sa gender at sexuality, tamang paggamit ng mga terminolohiya na may kinalaman sa adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH), at mga paraan upang maiwasan ang maagang pagbubuntis.

Alinsunod sa DepEd Order No. 9, s. 2005 na "No Disruption of Classes Policy", ang ating MunTEEN Centers ay magkakaroon ng itinakdang operating schedule upang hindi makaabala sa oras ng klase ng mga estudyante.

Sa ngayon, walk-in muna ang magiging proseso ng ating serbisyo. Maaari kayong bumisita sa ating MunTEEN Centers sa oras ng aming operasyon.

Kung kailangan ninyo ng isang ligtas na espasyo para magtanong, humingi ng payo, makiisa sa mga activities, o matuto tungkol sa adolescent health and development, bukas ang ating MunTEEN Center sa Sucat SHS at Lakeview Integrated School para sa inyo! ❤️💙

Maraming salamat sa inyong pag-unawa at pakikiisa. Inaasahan namin ang inyong pagbisita sa ating MunTEEN Centers!

See you, mga Ka-MunTEENS! ✨

✍️ DepEd Philippines: Nagtatakda ang DepEd ng malinaw na kaukulang hakbang sa mga paglabag upang mapanatiling ligtas at maayos ang ating mga paaralan.

Paalala ito sa mga magulang, mag-aaral, at paaralan: Ang disiplina ay hindi lamang pagtutuwid ng maling asal, kundi paghubog ng responsableng mamamayan.
