In the realm of learning, they stand tall,

Guiding lights that shine for one and all. 

Teachers, the pillars of our nation's pride, Molding minds, 

shaping futures, side by side.

With patience and kindness, they lead the way,

 Inspiring young hearts, come what may. Their dedication,

 a beacon in the night, Illuminating paths,

 making everything right.

Through trials and tribulations, they persevere,

Selfless souls, always ready to serve and care. 

Their influence, a ripple effect so grand, Touching lives,

shaping the nation's future land.

With every lesson, a seed is sown, 

Nurturing growth, watching dreams unfold. 

Their impact, a legacy that will remain,

 Long after the classroom, a lasting refrain.

Through laughter and tears, they stand as one, 

Supporting each other, until the day is won. 

Together, they strive, a united front, 

Celebrating diversity, in every student's bent.

In the silence of a summer's day, They prepare, 

plan, and find new ways. 

To engage, to inspire, to make a mark, 

Leaving a lasting imprint, in the heart.

Their hard work, a labor of love so true,

A calling that goes beyond the classroom, too. 

In the community, they make a difference, real,

Touching lives, making a positive yield.

Through the ups and downs, they stand as one, 

United in their quest, until the day is won. 

Together, they celebrate, each student's gain, Cheering on,

as they rise, and reach new heights again.

In the autumn of gratitude, we say, 

Thank you, dear teachers, in every way. 

For all you do, for all you give, 

We celebrate you, and the love you live.

The Land Beyond Twilight

      The Philippines, an archipelago of over 7,000 islands, is inherently vulnerable to natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire and in the western Pacific Ocean. These natural hazards pose significant threats to the country's infrastructure, economy, and population, often resulting in devastating consequences.     

   
    The geographic spread of the islands also complicates disaster response and recovery efforts, making it challenging to deliver aid and resources to affected areas in a timely manner.

     

    Despite the resilience of the Filipino people, each catastrophe leaves a lasting impact, disrupting lives and livelihoods. The country is currently facing numerous political crises, including the search for Quiboloy and the perceived arrogance of the Vice President, which add to the burdens already carried by the Filipino people. These ongoing crises have sparked significant debate about the promises made by politicians during their campaigns, and the lack of response from leaders during critical moments raises important questions about accountability.

                                                                                                The decision of Vice President Sara Duterte to remain silent on these issues is particularly concerning, as it indicates a lack of leadership and accountability. Election promises should lead to tangible actions, but instead, we see evasion and denial. As citizens, we deserve leaders who are transparent, honest, and accountable, especially during times of turmoil. It is disheartening to see how easily some leaders abandon their commitments, leaving the public disappointed and disillusioned.

                                                                               

    As the youth who are still ineligible to vote, we strive to make our voices heard by the adults around us. Their decisions will not only affect them but also our future, which risks being neglected. Our dreams, ambitions, and passions are on the line, and we are witnessing a rapidly changing world where the choices made today will shape the world we inherit tomorrow. This is why it is essential for the youth to be heard—  
we are the ones who will live with the consequences. Those in power must recognize that their responsibilities extend beyond their own lives to the generations that will follow. The challenges the Philippines faces today require our full attention and prompt action.

  We must continue to speak out, demand accountability, and work towards a brighter future. Change is within our reach, but it requires determination and unity. The sun will rise again in the land of a fresh dawn, but only if we are willing to fight for the future our country deserves.  

     In essence, the Philippines is facing a multitude of challenges, from natural disasters to political crises, which require immediate attention and action. The youth, who will inherit the consequences of today's decisions, must be heard and recognized as stakeholders in the country's future. It is time for us to demand accountability from our leaders, work towards a brighter future, and fight for the country we deserve.

Filipino student activists hold placards bearing the messages, "Education for all," and, "Patriotic Education for all," during a rally at Mendiola bridge, near Malacanang Palace, in Manila, Philippines, as they assail the Philippine government's policies on education. Education activists assailed the governments policies on education, criticizing the removal of the Filipino subject from the country's general education curriculum; as well as the additional two years in basic education which they say will make Filipino workers available for cheap labor in other countries.
