In the corridors of Southern Leyte State University - Tomas Oppus Campus, Niño Francis R. Bicol, also known as Francheska Rellita, has become a familiar and inspiring presence. A proud transwoman and graduating Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English student, performer, leader, mentor, host, makeup artist, and academic achiever, she stands today not only as a candidate for graduation but as a symbol of resilience and representation.

Her journey, as she describes it, “was never a walk in the park.” There were moments when she questioned her path, whether teaching English was truly her calling, whether she belonged, and whether the campus was really her home. “Yet here I am,” she reflects, “standing at the peak, about to close this chapter.” Along the way, she discovered that unfamiliar paths often lead to the most meaningful growth, a lesson she now carries with pride and gratitude.

Read her journey to discover how she rose beyond uncertainty and embraced the person she was always meant to become.

KINAHAM NI TOMAS 0.1

Last night, we journeyed back to where it all began.
“Kinaham ni Tomas 0.1” served as the much-awaited prequel to our successful 2024 cultural show, Kinaham ni Tomas. This special production revisited the untold beginnings of Tomas and Nena’s comical love story, their playful feuds, heartfelt moments, and the rich cultural identity that shaped the narrative we all came to love.Through vibrant performances, expressive storytelling, and the dedication of our talented cast and production team, the stage once again came alive with laughter, nostalgia, and pride in our culture. Thank you to everyone who supported and witnessed this beautiful beginning of the story.
