TANAY, RIZAL — Silence f illed the hallways of Tanay Ville Elementary School as pupils across all grade levels bowed their heads over printed test papers during the First Periodical Examinations under the new MATATAG Curriculum. For us Grade 6 pupils, the pressure was real. Weeks before the examination, our teachers reminded us to study hard because the MATATAG curriculum focuses on deeper understanding and critical thinking rather than simple memorization. "The questions were a bit challenging compared to last year because we had to analyze reallife situations," shared Maria Santos, a Grade 6 student f rom Section Sampaguita. "In Math and Science, we really needed to explain how we got our answers." To help the teachers prepare, Master Teacher Ma'am Concepcion Corporal and School Head Dr. Hazel David conducted a Collaborative Expertise session.
The training guided teachers on how to properly construct highquality examination papers tailored to the MATATAG guidelines. During the session, Dr. Hazel David emphasized the importance of aligning the test items directly with the learning goals. She reminded the faculty to "make sure that all required competencies for the First Term are strictly followed and reflected in the exam." Throughout the two-day examination, teachers kept a close eye on every classroom to ensure a quiet and smooth testing environment. Even the lower grades—f rom Kindergarten to Grade 1—were seen carefully shading their answer sheets. Now that the exams are over, Tanay Ville pupils take a deep breath as they wait for the results, hopeful that their long hours of reviewing will pay off.

TVES, RECEIVES LAPEL MICROPHONES MORE THAN A MICROPHONE: A GIFT THAT AMPLIFIES LEARNING
TANAY, RIZAL — Teachers of Tanay Ville Elementary School off icially received portable lapel microphones on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, to help project their voices and improve sound quality during daily classroom lessons. The new audio gadgets clip onto the teachers' collars, allowing them to speak at a comfortable, conversational volume while broadcasting clear sound across the entire room. For months, teachers struggled with vocal fatigue while pupils sitting in the back rows had diff iculty listening due to loud electric fans, street traff ic, and hallway noise. The distribution of these lapel mics directly addresses these challenges, ensuring every pupil can hear clearly while protecting the teachers' health. he project was implemented to upgrade classroom facilities and create a better learning environment for both educators and students.

Grade 6 teacher Romea Of icial shared how the new equipment immediately improved her teaching experience. "It makes a huge difference in my everyday routine," said Teacher Romea. "Before receiving the lapel mic on September 1, my throat always hurt by the end of the day because I had to shout over fan noise. Now, I can speak in my normal voice, and even the students sitting in the very back row can hear me clearly." Pupils also noticed an instant improvement in their daily classes. Lessons move smoothly without f requent interruptions, allowing students to focus and understand their subjects better. With the portable lapel microphones now in full use across Tanay Ville Elementary School, teaching has become less tiring for teachers, and learning has become far more accessible for every learners.
“Kahit mahirap at nakakapagod ang trabaho, masaya kami kapag nakikita naming malinis at maayos ang paligid ng paaralan. Alam naming nakakatulong kami para maging ligtas at komportable ang mga estudyante.” -Maricris Sacramento TUPAD member

No Class, No Risks editorial

uring typhoons, heavy rains, floods, or other dangerous disasters traveling to school is dangerous because roads may flood,and accidents may happen. Suspending Classes gives the students time to prepare for emergencies,and to keep them safe. For many Students, the announcement of no classes may feel exciting to rest or stay at home , However suspensions of classes its not simply a f ree day its a decision made to protect students,teachers and families f rom possible danger. suspending classes also has disadvantages. students can miss lessons, important activities, or deadlines, When suspensions happen several times,teachers may have diff iculty f inishing the lessons required for the school year. Students may also struggle to catch up once classes return. This is why both schools and students have responsibilities during suspended classes. School can provide activities or online lessons when possible,while students should also use the extra time wisely. Instead of treating a suspension as nothing more than a vacation, students can review lessons, f inish assignments,or help their families prepare for the weather.At the same time, students should also be allowed to rest, especially if their homes are affected by storms. In the end, suspending classes should not be judged by the number of lessons students miss.What matters the most is making sure that everyone can return to school safely when the weather improves. A day without classes may seem like a small interruption,but it can always continue afterward,but safety is something should never take for granted. 80 60

column Mind Over Screen: Why We Need to Log Off and Tune In alk down any hallway, look at any playground bench, or observe a school bus ride home. What do you see? Rows of heads tilted down, eyes glued to glowing screens, and thumb scrolling through endless videos. Technology is amazing—there is no doubt about that. We can research science projects in seconds, video chat with grandparents across the globe, and play creative games with f riends. But lately, it feels like our devices are using us more than we are using them. As sixth graders, we are preparing for high school. We are learning how to solve complex math problems, write structured essays, and build real f riendships. Yet, many of us spend hours every night scrolling through social media or playing video games until our eyes hurt. We complain about being tired in class, but we are the ones staying up late to do hit "next level" or check one last notif ication.
We don't need to throw our phones in the trash or ban video games forever. Technology is a tool, not a lifestyle. We just need balance. Try setting a "screen curfew" an hour before bed. Put your phone in another room while doing homework. Next time you are at lunch, put the device away and actually talk to the person sitting across from you. Let’s make sure we are controlling our screens—not letting our screens control us. Matt Yuan Mejiño

A Day off or A Day Lost?
hen other people wake up in their bed all comfortable, warm, and happy with a gloomy day, Others wake up with parts of their home damaged or gone. Heavy rain or typhoons are a major problem in the Philippines, especially with the people living in low-lying areas which is vulnerable to flood in. Class suspensions are very likely to happen when thereis a Typhoon, which may or may not make students happy but there is a bitter reality behind the "no classes" announcements. For other people, it may be an ordinary day without school but for others, It's a day without learning, studying, and communicating. When suspensions go f rom days into weeks, learning and doing modules may be hard for other students without electricity, phones, or WiFi, which is already a struggle within. In some places, classes have been suspended for almost three weeks because of heavy rain, and and flooding. Students missed many lessons, while teachers had to change their plans. This can make it harder for students to catch up. Class suspensions are important to keep everyone safe, but too many days without school can also affect learning. A day off may feel fun, but sometimes, it is a day lost.
The balance between security, privacy, and students' rights.
Safe School, Peaceful Mind: Bag Inspection at Tanay Ville Elementary School On a bright early morning at Tanay Ville Elementary School, a long line of students could be seen neatly queuing near the entrance. Carrying our backpacks f illed with notebooks, pencils, and packed snacks, each of us patiently waited for our turn during the routine bag inspection before stepping inside the campus. At f irst, some might think it takes extra time, but for us students, it is an important step to keep everyone safe. Before we open our bags, school off icials and teachers check carefully to make sure no prohibited or dangerous items enter the premises. Knowing this gives us and our parents peace of mind throughout the school day. The school administration also coordinates with our local police off icers to ensure a quiet, secure environment around the area. Through this simple daily check, we learn discipline, respect for rules, and the value of keeping our second home safe. This simple routine proves that at Tanay Ville Elementary School, student safety always comes f irst so that every child can learn with a big smile and a worry-f ree. Overall, security comes above all. Edgar Joseph Prado
