𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 | 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 28

Sa gitna ng araw-araw na ingay ng maling impormasyon, patuloy pa rin nating pinipili na manindigan sa katotohanang nagsisilbing ilaw mula sa kadiliman na binibigay nito. Kung kaya't ngayong araw ng Setyembre 28, nakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ang Mary Josette Academy ngayong World News Day para sa pagbibigay ng de-kalidad na balita at tapat na pamamahayag ng impormasyon bilang karapatan ng bawat isa na matukoy ang katotohanan.

Ang balita na ating natatanggap ay hindi lamang mga koleksyon ng pangyayari sa ating paligid, kundi salamin ng katotohanan at tinig ng bayan na dapat pakinggan. Nagsisilbi itong makapangyarihang instrumento na hindi lamang nagbabahagi ng impormasyon, kundi humuhubog din sa kamalayan natin.

Kada detalye ng balita ay naglalaman ng iba‘t ibang karanasan na bumabalot sa buhay ng tao at lipunan. Ang araw-araw na pakikibaka ng bawat isa at pag-asang makamtan ang katarungan. Ang mga tinig na naapi at katotohanang pilit na pinagtatakpan, ngunit patuloy pa rin lumilitaw sa pamamagitan ng tapat na pagpapahayag. Anumang balitang inilalathala sa atin ay nagpapaalala na ang pamamahayag ay hindi lamang tungkulin, sa halip ito ay paninindigan para sa bayan.

Sa araw na ito, atin din kilalanin ang bawat manunulat ng balita, tagapagpahayag at tagapaghatid ng boses ng masa, para sa kanilang katapangan na tumayo bilang proteksyon laban sa kasinungalingan.

𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐘 | Happy Family Day!

Today, September 28, 2026, we are celebrating the Family Day. A very special day in our lives. A day to show care, love, acknowledgement, and appreciation to our family because of their unwavering support, guidance and our home when we are faltering. No matter where life takes us, family remains our home and a constant source of unconditional love.

“Families are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.” — Brad Henry

Just like what Brad Henry said, families are the ones who guide us, our inspiration when life gets harder and our comfort when we falter, they are the evidence to the famous literary quote “No man is an island” by John Donne, which means that we are connected to each other whether life is at its lowest or highest.

As we mark this special day, let us take this chance to say the acknowledgement we never said to our family, the opportunity to bond with them, eat with them, and tell a story that we often do. No matter how busy life gets or how far our dreams take us, may we find our way back to the people we call home.

𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐋 | National Su***de Prevention Month

The month of September has finally arrived which means it’s the start of the national su***de prevention month. What exactly is the su***de prevention month? It is the month where we spread awareness that su***de is a matter that should be taken seriously.

Every year, thousands of families have lost their daughters, sons, and other family members to su***de. Why do we spread awareness to this topic? Because su***de is not a joke. It is not something to play around with. It is a serious matter that should be taken seriously as well as other serious topics. Su***de could be the result of their mental health depleting due to bullying, abuse from their family or in a relationship they are in. And most people can never see it coming that their friend or family is suicidal. The victim may look happy on the outside but inside of their minds are a mess and no one is there to be with them, a problem for which they think su***de is the only solution.

To every person in the world, please check on your loved ones. Reassure them that you are always there for them, that they are special to you, that they are loved.

“Su***de is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.”
— Robin Williams
