LARO NG LAHI: PAGPAPATULOY NG PAMANA

Bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng History Month 2026, matagumpay na isinagawa ang Laro ng Lahi noong Agosto 29, 2026, sa WMSU Open Field.

Naging tampok sa programa ang iba’t ibang tradisyonal na larong Pilipino, kung saan muling naranasan ng mga mag-aaral ang saya, sigla, at diwa ng pagkakaisa na matagal nang bahagi ng kulturang Pilipino.

Higit pa sa isang paligsahan, ang Laro ng Lahi ay naging pagkakataon upang muling bigyang-pansin ang mga larong sumasalamin sa ating pagkakakilanlan at sa mga tradisyong ipinasa mula sa isang henerasyon tungo sa susunod.

Sa bawat takbo, tawanan, at pakikipaglaro, muling nabuhay ang isang bahagi ng ating kultura—isang paalalang ang kasaysayan ay hindi lamang matatagpuan sa mga pahina ng aklat, kundi maging sa mga karanasan at tradisyong patuloy nating isinasabuhay.

THE ART OF PUTTING HISTORY INTO WORDS | ESSAY WRITING COMPETITION 2026

In line with the celebration of History Month 2026, the History Department of Western Mindanao State University successfully conducted its Essay Writing Competition on August 27, 2026.

The competition brought together BA History students in an academic exercise that allowed them to articulate their ideas, perspectives, and understanding of history through writing. Guided by this year’s History Month theme, “Hinubog ng Bayan, Dinuyan ng Alon,” the activity highlighted the value of critical reflection and the continuing relevance of historical consciousness among students.

The activity was facilitated by Ma’am Olga Czarina Belisario, whose guidance contributed to the successful conduct of the competition.

Through every essay written and every perspective shared, the participants demonstrated that history remains a field of inquiry—one that continues to be examined, interpreted, and expressed through the voices of the present.

The History Department extends its appreciation to the facilitator and all participants who took part in this academic activity.

Happy Birthday, Ms. Jalil!💜✨

To our amazing Society Treasurer, the one who somehow makes numbers, budgets, and expenses . Thank you for handling not just the finances of our Society, but also for being someone we can count on whenever things get a little chaotic.

Your dedication, patience, and willingness to help truly make a difference. Behind every organized fund, every successful activity, and every “okay lang, kaya natin ’to” moment, there’s a treasurer who works quietly but makes a big impact.

Keep being the kind, hardworking, and dependable person that you are. We’re grateful to have you in our Society, and today, we celebrate YOU not just as our Treasurer, but as someone who makes our organization better just by being part of it.

Happy Birthday, Ferdawsia! 💜✨
