On December 17, 2022, at SorSU, Baribag Campus, Sorsogon City, a Culminating Activity on PE 3: Sports Activities with the theme “Igniting the SorSUeos Spirit in the New Normal through PE and Sports” is organized. Sir Christian G. Fugen, a PE 3 advisor, is in charge of the initiative.
The participants are subdivided into the three groups listed below:
• UNIT 1: CE 2C, ARCH 2B, and ME 2A • UNIT 2: ARCH 2A, EE 2B, and CE 2A • UNIT 3: EE 2A, ME 2B, and CE 2B the amateurism oath. Sir Christian G. Fugen then gave a formal opening address to the events.
The students performed the mass demonstration and the arnis demonstration (basic skills). And so the activities began. Badminton was the first sport played, then chess, basketball, volleyball, and laro ng lahi. The students watched and took pleasure in each activity, particularly the girls’ basketball game, which was played without regard to rules for them to play it easily and the result was fun.
Following the sporting events, the closing ceremony and awards ceremony took place. Every sporting competition’s champion received a medal. Unit 3 emerged as the overall winner followed by Unit 2 and Unit 1. Each unit received a sizable package filled with a wide variety of treats and snacks. Before the students departed, Sir Christian handed a small token to each one of them as a remembrance of the event. The students are really delighted with the token. The program came to an end with bodies weary out but hearts overflowing and happy.
With an opening program, the activities got underway. The respective flags of each unit were raised by the unit representatives. Ann Michelle Jaylo, a participant in the Palarong Pambansa, presided over the lighting of the friendship torch and

FAKE NEWS AS A MODERN ISSUE
By: Shainne A. Saclausa
FROM PAGE 1
Nowadays, we rely on online information to grasp what is going on in our society. As individuals exchange more and more information online, technological advances such as the internet and the rise of social media enable fake news stories to proliferate quickly and easily. While the internet has made information more accessible and has been a useful tool for social movements, it has also introduced new technological risks and vulnerabilities, such as the ability for false information to spread quickly. Anyone with a website, blog, or social media presence may now produce content and possibly reach big audiences. People tend to believe what they read and don’t always question it. If every information were not verified extensively, there would be cases where readers of an article might discover information that was inaccurate yet would continue to believe it. As ill-informed people frequently make ill-informed decisions, this can be very dangerous. Because so many individuals now acquire their news through social media platforms, several content producers and creators have taken advantage of this. Many of the things you read online, particularly in your social media feeds, may appear to be factual, but they are usually fraudulent and fake. So, what is there left to believe in? Fake news is like an epidemic; once it has made touch with the public, it will continue to spread until it is fully resolved. It also acts like a nuclear bomb, exploding with such intense power that it destroys everything around it. Regardless of how sound their arguments appear to be, not all written sources are reliable. When determining a piece of writing’s reliability, we must take into consideration a variety of factors pertaining to both the topic and the author or publisher who is presenting it. Is the data up to date? Is it truly relevant to the subject it discusses? Does it cite any sources to back up its claims? Are these references trustworthy? Has the data lately been written and published? Does the publishing date appear? And who is ultimately accountable for the data? Is there even a publisher or author listed?
As fake news has become more prevalent in part due to information overload and a general lack of awareness among individuals of how the internet functions, it is best for individuals to be cautious and make an effort to locate and obtain truthful data from a variety of sources, especially from sites and references with the finest track records for ethical and reliable journalism. Taking the initiative to correct inaccurate information before it spreads and increasing digital literacy for those most vulnerable to misinformation are just a few of the many ways to combat the spreading of fake news.

Sorsueños Roared for Mr. & Ms. SORSU 2022—the fight for the crowns
Lady Arish H. Durango, Chin Chin L. Ferreras & Kevin S. Olario
SOAR HIGH, SORSU: ANG PAMANTASANG MAY PUSO.
Greyjoy roars, Baratheon shouts, Martell yells, Targaryen screams. Every house cheers for their own respective representatives. After two long years of pandemic, which has arisen the anticipation of not only the students, but the whole campus, SORSU was able to hold one of its most anticipated events in the whole intramurals season, the Mr. And Ms. SORSU 2022. Special--that is one word to describe this year's pageant.
But a great war, it will be, as this new season of SORSU intramurals is inspired by the hit TV series, the Game of Thrones. Every College is named after the houses in the said series. All houses stand their ground. The torch of the great battle was ignited as the contenders for Mr. and Ms. SORSU 2022 show-off their grace and intellect, each coveting the throne as king and queen.
A d o r n e d with confidence and elegance, the candidates already captivated the hearts of the audience from the very beginning.
Candidate no. 1, Gabriel Paul Funtelar,
brought pride to the house of Greyjoy as he won the Best in Production award in the male category. Candidate no. 3, Rica Jane Peñalba, of House of Targaryen won the Best in Production award in the female category.
It felt like the season changed as the contenders flaunted their bodies in their swimwear attire. From the cold shivering night, the atmosphere rose in an instant. The crowd went wild—cheering their candidates on. Indeed, fire and blood are the philosophy of the House of Targaryen as candidate no. 3 fiercely slayed the swimwear category and took home the title of Best in Swimwear Attire in the female category. While candidate no. 2, Angelo Cabang of the House of Martell surpassed the other houses as Best in Swimwear in the male category.
Candidates left the crowd in awe as they parade their creative attires; each representing their very own houses. Charlene Vargas and
Miguel Ellis Sarmiento, of the House of Targaryen won the Best in Creative Attire award.
The night did not end there as more wonder awaited the crowd. Bejeweled candidates stride through the ramp with their elegant gowns and dashing suits. They glistened like a disco ball. Being in the spotlight, being in the moment. Giving a shimmering entertainment. But then, the one who gleamed the most in the female category is candidate no. 7, Charlene Vargas, of the House of Targarye while candidate no. 8, Kim Marvin Laguidao, of House of Baratheon outshone the other males.
Candidate no. 1, Gabriel Paul Funtelar of the House of Greyjoy, and Candidate no. 8, Nicole Jane Romero of the House of Baratheon captured the hearts of the people as they won the People’s choice award for the male and female category, respectively. As the night was coming to a close, the anticipation of the crowd made the ambiance heavy and heated as the question-andanswer portion commenced. The question that tested the wit and intellect of the contenders was “How will you show sports manship if you found out that you have been cheated in a certain sports event?” Following that, the contenders found themselves down to the final five. Ultimately, the top placers for Ms. SORSU were Candidates No. 3,4,6,7,8 and for Mr. SORSU were 1,2,3,5,8.
Gabriel Paul Funtelar of House Greyjoy was finally declared as Mr. SCUAA 2022, while Rica Jane Peñalba joined him as Ms. SCUAA 2022. Meanwhile, Reymark Golpeo of House Baratheon and Arvia Mae Sarte of House Martell were named Mr. and Ms. PASUC Sorsogon City. In the end, though, only one couple could sit on the Iron Throne. Crowned as Mr. and Ms SorSU 2022, the people welcomed their new king and queen, Kim Marvin Laguidao of House Baratheon and, from House Martell, Charlene Vargas.
As the night drew to a close, House Greyjoy had not forgotten. Three cheers to the brave ladies and gentlemen who raised the banner high for Greyjoy: Lady Mary Joyce iolata, Lady Shaina Jalmasco, Lord Gabriel Paul Funtelar and Lord Andrei Hicarte.
Remember, House Greyjoy does not sow. We only reap victories! Intrams is coming.
LGBTQIA+++ slays the Mx. Olympus 2022 of SORSU
Ruth Barcelo, the Director of Gender and Development
Sorsogon State University finally opens its stage for the LGBTQIA+++ community to exhibit their freedom to express and walk their beauty in the Mx. OLYMPUS 2022, SorSU’s first ever LGBTQIA+++ pageant.
It is an announcement that this moment has finally won against the battles of doubting the rights of the community, into recognition and progress.
In the event, candidates were given the opportunity to project their stances concerning the controversies in gender identity. They demonstrated their intelligence by responding to the question: “Mental health issues are sometimes stigmatized in the sports world for a variety of reasons, and one challenge of the LGBTQIA+++ community is also stigmatized in society. How do you think the stigma can be best addressed? What can athletes, coaches, and managers in sports do to fight this stigmatization?”
Candidate no. 8, Mark Ajel Jetomo Lagsit of House Targaryen’s creative attire is inspired by Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy. Candidate No. 8, like Athena, used her wisdom in designing her own costume as a battle strategy to win the title of Best in Creative Swimwear. She also received the Best in Uniform award. Kathraine Zane Gualvez Sia of House Targaryen, like her Goddess inspiration, Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, made everyone adore her. Subsequently, has made her garner the People’s Choice award. Love Jintalan of House Martell was the one to ever take home the first ever crown for Mx. OLYMPUS 2022.
Vhana de Jesus is inspired by Hera, the Queen of Mount Olympus. She took home the awards for Best in Production Number and Best in Long Gown. Moreover, she brought pride to House Greyjoy for being one of the top placers, in spite of her being a first timer. Once again, Greyjoy do not sow, yet they reaped triumphs. Lady Arish Durango & Chin Chin Ferreras
Hail to Hera of COEA! Vhana de Jesus graced the Mx. Olympus 2022 stage with her beauty on November 15, 2022 that took place at SORSU main Campus, Covered Court.
First Sorsoganon to earn a Top 5 spot in the Shell Nat'l Student Art Competition is a Sorsueño, bags 4th Place!

Photos credit: Prof. Ramil D. Evangelista "Nagsisimula pa lang ang pagdala ko sa national stage ng ating sintang paaralan," he said while accentuating that this is actually his first time to ever join a prestigious national event. "This is my first step."
He wishes to extend his acknowledgement to the support from his family, the Sorsogon State University, the Bicolanos, Professor Ramil D. Evangelista, who accompanied him during the awarding, and the people in his hometown, Bulan, Sorsogon, who supported him althroughout the competition.
Justin Ramos Golloso, a 3rd year in Bachelor of Science in Architecture, Sorsogon State University, garnered the 4th place during the awarding in the 55th year Shell National Student Art Competition on December 6, 2022, at the Ayala Museum, Makati City. The national level art competition was joined in by a total of 2,109 plus participants, in the theme: "SULONG SINING", that lasted from June 15th to November 30th, 2022. Golloso exhibited
his talent in the watercolor category, that created a masterpiece he entitled “Failures turned Transcendence.” According to him, he completed the piece in a span of 7 days, in his boarding house, and was brought to exhibition at the Ayala Museum, ‘‘It's my legacy to inspire Makati City, until the more student artists awarding ceremony. from our region, and As per Shell bring back to map the NSAC’s history, he home of the Oragons.’’ was the first ever Sorsoganon to earn a top 5 spot in the competition, turning this into his greatest achievement in 2022, being his legacy, and him being another pride of Sorsogon City, Region V, especially the Sorsogon State University.
‘Tis the season to be jolly because tonight’s the first-ever Christmas celebration of Sorsogon State University!
Christmas lights in the university’s entrance twinkle like the stars in the night sky. Performers wearing traditional Filipino clothing sway to the rhythm of Christmas carols. SorSUeños are in awe as they watch the firecrackers be set ablaze and illuminate the sky. It is evident on the faces of SorSUeños that they are delighted to witness and participate in this momentous event.
The SORSU Christmas lighting served as a kickstart for the Christmas season for students. The lockdown due to the pandemic had made it difficult for such an event to take place. The occasion was short in time but it was like a long taste of a breakaway from academics. Indeed, it was one of the events that SorSUeños highly anticipate.
It’s like ushering in a new year by celebrating a joyous Christmas. SORSU’s efforts were evident in the successful performances and decorations. “I saw how much effort ang binigay ng SORSU starting from decorating the campus up until sa mismong event.”
As the event drew to a close, a magnificent fireworks display lit up the night sky. “I enjoyed the Christmas lighting, especially the fireworks show.” It was the main highlight of the night for most students who were present at the event. The event made students feel the spirit of Christmas through the performances and fireworks display, especially the people who were present at the event has been a part of that feeling.
Each student had a genuine smile on their face. Some went alone, while most went with friends or their special someone. It serves as a temporary distraction from the students’ schoolwork.
“When I was amidst witnessing those moments, I could never feel anything else but Christmas, when it is going to be all about love and giving, and that even if you are at the school’s setting, where you thought it was only going to be about studying.”
Christmas is the season of giving. Christmas is really magical, especially for children. Sweets and delights were given to people during the event. It is incredible how one single candy can actually make people’s hearts melt with happiness. It does not really matter how small a gift is. It is the thought that counts.
Indeed, walang tatalo sa pasko sa Pinas! Walang tatalo sa pasko ng Sorsogon State University, ang pamantasang may puso!
It’s a different world out here

Sorsogon State University is an institution that conferred the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering to Engr. Christian Lagsit in 2020, for which he is now working as a site engineer at center ways. It was an incredibly meaningful experience and something I will forever cherish during the course of my life. After college, there are several ways to make a mark as an adept engineer in the field. Of key importance are the abilities to plan, monitor, and evaluate results. We need to focus on them, pay attention to them, work hard and efficiently, and take in all the information that is accessible if
we are to attain these sorts of talents as students in college. The talents and skills acquired through hard work and integrity have "The outside world is guaranteed the very different from a buildings, the machines that day in the life of helped build an engineering skyscrapers, college student." and many possibilities that are what have -Engr. Lagsit shaped how the world is today, all of which are products of these. We are led to visualize what it is to be in the field of engineering after graduating from college and be ready to commit to that profession. You should be able to be told that you are ready to practice engineering in the actual world as soon as your engineering diploma is received.
COEA first-years grooved for the PATHFit Dance Exercise Competition
Frequent cheers of the audience. Intense dance routines. Performers danced for a limited time. It is the type of culminating activity that hyped the College of Engineering and Architecture before going on a Christmas break.
The Dance Exercise Competition, held at Sorsogon State University Engineering Campus covered court and spearheaded by PATHFit Instructor Miss Joan Herrera, was joined in by first-years of Civil Engineering, Architecture, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Electronics Engineering as a fulfilment for their final performance in PATHFit 1. Each performing section must perform a dance exercise with a duration that must not exceed 5 minutes but not less than 4 minutes.
The anticipation alongside anxiety that filled the hearts and heads of the performing students intensified as the competition began. The culmination was started by the welcoming of the two first year students from Mechanical Engineering, section 1C. They are Bon Andrey Hapa and Nathaniel Callos who captured the right energy to handle the culminating activity.
The opening prayer, flag ceremony, singing of Sorsogon State University Hymn, welcoming of the judges, presentation of the criteria was also held before the official start of the presentation of the performances.
As for the fairness of the sequence of the performing sections, a draw lot happened before the culminating activity. The section A of BS Architecture picked the number 1 thus, they are the first performing section to execute their dance exercise. The performances ran based on the result of the draw. Every performance was entertaining and interesting all the way to the last performing section.
After the performances of all sections, the agitation in the atmosphere of the covered court once again built up as everybody was relentlessly and impatiently waiting for the announcements of the winners.
But before the announcements of winners happened, there were moments of appreciation for the judges for their attendance and unbiased and wise judgement as they were honoured with garlands, certifications and gifts. All of the performing sections were as well awarded with certificates of participation. It was a satisfying payment for the efforts exerted just to give impressive and impeccable presentations for judges and audience. The PATHFit Instructor Miss Joan Herrera also gave her words of acknowledgement to those who are involved and made the program possible. She was also awarded for her excellence as an instructor and her management of the event held. After the moment of appreciation, the moment being looked forward to by everybody has approached. It made the excitement constantly reaching the peak. The crowd were screaming severely, hyping for their own sections or the sections they like the most to win.
Even though all sections are deserving of the win, there were only three places for the best performing sections: the 2nd place, 1st place, and the Champion.
Coming in second place is the BS Civil Engineering 1A. Indeed, their dance exercise is one-of-a-kind as they incorporated the segments of an exercise. Their sequence was from the warm-up up to the cool-down. They also considered the floor as they performed floor choreography in their routine. Their transitions from formation to formation were also one of the best. The mastery of the dance was also evident among the members. They are truly a deserving section of the second place.
The first placer of the culmination came also from the BS Civil Engineering. It was section 1B. It was their groove, energy, and synchronization that lit up their performance. Their choreography was also impactful, full of remarkable movements and filled with a compelling vibe. Indeed, it was truly a performance and a dance exercise that everybody will definitely enjoy. It was worthy of 1st place.
Lastly, the greatest of all, the section who outperformed every other section was the BS Mechanical Engineering 1C. It was their presence, energy, and joyfulness while performing who outshone the performances of the other sections. They have also incorporated most of the criteria. It was like a whole exercise. The incorporation of exercise mats did have an impact on their win. Every person in the crowd truly enjoyed their entertaining choreography. Thus, no wonder they came to be the Champion of the competition.
The event was not only a competition for first-year engineering and architecture students, but also an opportunity for them to have fun and showcase their talent. Students have danced to a variety of music. The students' joy was palpable as they danced. This event focused not only on the awards to be given, but also on the joy of the students. Cheers of joy could be heard whenever students performed a different choreography.
The physical strain that the students went through while creating their dance was well worth it. Their smiles demonstrated how much they treasured the event's memories.
