𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦. Before it hits the stands, it happens here. Lighting, angles, and endless adjustments to capture the story just right. The Stargazer Publication and Staff of Academic Year 2026-2027 gathered for their photoshoot this afternoon, August 22.

𝗞𝗔𝗦𝗔𝗬𝗦𝗔𝗬𝗔𝗡. Ngayon ay taos-puso nating ginugunita si Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. sa ika-43 anibersaryo ng kanyang pagkamatay—ang dakilang bayaning ang tapang ay naging mitsa ng pagbabago sa ating kasaysayan.

Hindi kailanman nayanig ang kanyang matibay na paninindigan, kahit siya ay ikinulong at ipinatapon upang wakasan ang kanyang laban para sa katotohanan. Alam niyang nakataya ang kanyang buhay, ngunit pinili pa rin niyang umuwi sa Pilipinas dahil sa kanyang di-natitinag na paniniwala: “Ang Pilipino ay karapat-dapat mamatay para sa bayan.”

Ang kanyang pagkamatay noong Agosto 21, 1983, ay naging mahalagang yugto sa pagbabago ng bansa. Ginising nito ang natutulog na diwa ng sambayanan, pinag-isa ang milyun-milyong Pilipino sa EDSA, at naging mahalagang bahagi ng pagbabalik ng kalayaan matapos ang mahabang panahon ng diktadurya.

Ang kalayaang tinatamasa natin ngayon ay nagsisilbing paalala ng kanyang katapangan at matatag na paninindigan para sa bayan.

Bilang pagpupugay sa kanyang kadakilaan, isabuhay natin ang kanyang diwa. Maging matatag tayo gaya niya, ingatan ang kalayaang kanyang ipinaglaban, at tiyaking ang kanyang pamana ay mananatiling tanglaw na gagabay sa bawat henerasyon.

The Supreme Student Government (SSG) convened a Student Assembly to present its upcoming initiatives, introduce its committees, and provide an open platform for student feedback.

Hosted by SSG Vice President Kristine A. Cañete, the program commenced with traditional preliminaries, including an opening prayer, the National Anthem, the recitation of the school’s Vision and Mission, and the singing of the School Hymn.
SSG President Aldwin Monroe G. Donguez then delivered the opening remarks, welcoming attendees and underscoring the vital role of student engagement in campus governance.

A core highlight of the event was the introduction of the SSG officers and the six executive committees. Officers detailed the specific functions of each committee to help students understand how the government operates and addresses various campus needs.

Elaborating on the purpose of the assembly, Vice President Cañete emphasized that the gathering serves as a dual-purpose space: keeping the student body informed while giving them a direct voice in school affairs. President Donguez and Vice President Cañete jointly presented the SSG’s academic plans and proposed projects for Academic Year 2026–2027, outlining key activities designed to enhance student life throughout the year.

The presentation transitioned into an open forum, allowing students to ask questions, seek clarifications, and raise specific campus concerns. SSG officers addressed each query directly, reinforcing transparent communication between leadership and the student body.

Concluding the event, Vice President Cañete delivered closing remarks centered on unity, cooperation, and active participation. She reminded attendees that effective student leadership relies on an informed, involved, and empowered student body.
