In every headline he polishes and in every feature he breathes life into, there is intention, depth, and heart. As our Editor-in-Chief and a master of feature writing, Azriel doesn’t just edit stories, he feels them, refines them, and turns them into narratives that linger long after the last paragraph.

A true craftsman of literary expression, he understands that feature writing is not merely about facts, but about humanity, about voices waiting to be heard and moments waiting to be immortalized. Under his leadership, ink becomes impact, drafts become masterpieces, and ordinary stories unfold into extraordinary reflections.

He leads not only with intellect, but with empathy. Not only with skill, but with soul. Every metaphor he molds, every angle he sharpens, and every story he nurtures reflects the quiet brilliance of someone who sees writing as both responsibility and art.

Today, we celebrate the visionary who turns narratives into movements, and features into feelings.

Happy Birthday to our EIC! The head, the heart, and the harmony behind every powerful piece. ✨🎂

“𝙏𝙖𝙢𝙖 𝙣𝙖! 𝙎𝙤𝙗𝙧𝙖 𝙣𝙖! 𝙋𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙣 𝙣𝙖!”

Forty years ago, those words thundered along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue and echoed through history during the EDSA People Power Revolution. What began as a collective cry of outrage became a living testament to the strength of unarmed courage, clasped rosaries, and interlocked arms.

On February 25, we do not merely remember a date, we remember a people who chose conviction over fear, unity over division, and democracy over dictatorship. The streets were filled not with weapons, but with faith, hope, and the audacity to demand change.

EDSA was never just a place. It was a promise, that when citizens stand together, history listens.
Forty years later, the revolution is no longer in the streets; it lives in our vigilance, our voice, and our responsibility to protect the freedoms won in 1986.

Because People Power was not the end of a struggle, it was the beginning of a nation awakened.

Here’s to sharper goals, brighter exposures, and a future always in perfect focus. 🎂✨️

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐂 𝐁𝐎𝐍𝐃 | February 16, 2026

Don Pablo Lorenzo Senior High School, in collaboration with WMSU Psychology Interns, successfully conducted the seminar “Breaking Free from Toxic Bond: Love Bombing, Gaslighting, and Love Manipulation Exposed” which is a timely and meaningful Valentine’s Day initiative for the students.

While the season is filled with roses, chocolates, and kilig moments 🍫💘, the seminar focused on something equally important such as recognizing red flags hidden behind “sweet” gestures, understanding emotional manipulation, and learning how to set healthy boundaries.

Students also learned how love bombing can feel like a fairytale at first, how gaslighting can make someone question their own reality, and why true love should never feel confusing, pressured, or draining. Through engaging discussions and reflections, participants were reminded that real affection grows steadily and not overnight with big promises and “ikaw lang ang mundo ko” lines.

This Valentine’s, we choose clarity over mixed signals, peace over emotional confusion, and flowers 🌷 over red flags 🚩

Because the best kind of love is the one that respects, empowers, protects your heart, and is unconditionally given.
