Trece Martires City College (TMCC) conducted 2-Day Hospitality Management Conference 2026 on May 18, 2026 at the TMCC Function Hall.

On May 1, sacrifices are remembered, honored, and seen.

Before progress, there were workers who carried the weight. Before comfort, there were sacrifices made. Before success, there were silent struggles faced.

Today, we honor the strength that keeps our nation moving, the courage that stands for what is fair, and the labor that sometimes goes unseen but never unvalued.

With long hours, tired bodies, and pure dedication, a dedication that does not rest, even in the face of hardship.

'WE NEED JOURNALISM NOW MORE THAN EVER'

LOOK | In his awaited keynote address, GMA Network journalist Atom Araullo encouraged campus journalists to remain grounded in truth and to pursue stories that matter, even in the face of uncertainty.

He reflected on the realities of field reporting, citing his coverage of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), where journalists were confronted with both the urgency of storytelling and the weight of what he calls "slow journalism."

He also emphasized the responsibility of the press to bear witness, uphold accountability, and continue telling stories of vulnerable communities that might otherwise go unheard.

Hindi na lang ito tungkol sa presyo,
Kundi sa mga taong napeperwisyo,
Sa mga pusong patuloy na nagseserbisyo,
Sa gitna ng hirap, hangad pa rin ay asenso.

Sa bawat patak ng gasolina, naroon ang pangamba,
Sa bulsa’y unti-unting nawawala ang pag-asa,
Habang tumataas ang presyo, buhay ay nagdurusa,
Unti-unting nauubos ang lakas ng masa.

Mga drayber na dating kumikita ng sapat,
Ngayo’y nagbibilang ng barya sa bawat oras,
Sa bawat pasada’y di na sigurado ang kita,
Pangamba ang baon sa pag-uwi sa pamilya.

Hindi na lang drayber ang apektado,
Pati presyo sa palengke’y di na sigurado,
Ilang negosyo’y, napipilitang magsarado,
Agwat ng may kaya at wala, di na kontrolado.

Mga mamamayan, tahimik mang nagdurusa,
Sa likod ng ngiti’y pagod at problema,
Pilit inaabot ang pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan,
Kahit kapos, patuloy pa ring lumalaban.

Mga manggagawa, sahod ay di na sapat,
Sa taas ng bilihin, tila ba’y nauubos agad,
Sa bawat araw na pagpasok at pagod,
Tanong sa isip, hanggang kailan ang ganitong ikot?

Mga mamamayan, labis ang lungkot,
Ang dating payapang araw tila bangungot,
Ngunit sa gitna ng dilim at takot,
Nawa’y di mawala ang malasakit at pagkupkop.

Sa kabila ng lahat, piliin pa ring maging makatao,
Sa munting paraan, tayo’y magtulungan nang totoo, Pag-asa’y sisilay kung puso’y di maglalaho,
Sa gitna ng unos, sa kapwa’y maging ilaw na totoo.

The day begins with hopeful stride,
A rising sun, the world wide.
Feet that move with plans in mind,
Chasing dreams they hope to find.

The roads are filled with lives in motion,
Small routines, quiet devotion.
Every ride, a step ahead,
Toward the paths their futures spread.

But whispers grow in crowded air,
Of rising fuel and higher fare.
Coins fall short in weary hands,
As costs outpace what life demands.

A boy turns back, his fare too small,
A woman pauses, choosing all,
Between the ride or food to keep,
Between the needs that run too deep.

The driver sighs behind the wheel,
Torn by what he has to feel.
To raise the fare or bear the loss,
Each choice weighed by a heavy cost.

Yet still they stand, they don’t give in,
Through tightened days and wearing thin.
They walk, they ride, they find a way,
To face another rising day.

For even when the burdens grow,
And hardships come they cannot slow,
The heart moves on, the will stays strong,
They keep on going, all along.
