INHS adopts revised Guidelines on class, work suspensions, prepares multiple alternatives, learning deliveries
by DELANO DOMINGO JR.
Itawes National High School (INHS) has started to adapt to the new guidelines of the Department of Education (DepEd) on class and work suspensions, preparing multiple alternatives and other learning deliveries in case of class suspensions.
This order is chained with a goal to safeguard learners, teachers, and non-teaching personnel from potential harm during calamities or unfortunate events while ensuring uninterrupted learning.
In addition, the DepEd order says that while the welfare, safety, and security of learners and personnel at all times is valued, the importance of uninterrupted learning must also be recognized.
“It recognizes the importance of uninterrupted learning, even in times of disasters and calamities, especially for learners in disaster-prone areas… this policy emphasizes both the safety and academic continuity needed by learners and personnel,” the revised guidelines read.
Moreover, some of the parts of the revised guidelines that the order covers are during typhoons and tropical cyclones, heavy rainfall and floods, earthquakes, among others.
In the case of typhoons and tropical cyclones, the suspension of classes will follow Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration’s (PAGASA’s) Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals (TCWS) and Executive Order No. 66, s. 2012. Furthermore, suspension of classes for heavy rainfall will depend on the Rainfall Warning by PAGASA while suspension of classes due to earthquakes will depend on the earthquake intensity as reported by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).
Meanwhile, learning delivery due to suspension of classes are also adjusted, whereas schools are going to implement modular distance learning, online distance learning, or blended learning in the event of suspended face-to-face classes.

SSLG eyes student progress, implements Project BOTELYA, Project MAGGAYAM
by RICK IVAN GABRIEL
The Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) of Itawes National High School (INHS), with its goal to push students to their limits and make a progressive school community, implemented two major projects during the School Year 2024-2025.
One of the projects is dubbed as Project BOTELYA (Bringing Out The beauty of the school Environment through Launching bottle containers and Yanking Awesome re- sults), where the SSLG produced four bottle containers around the school, collecting used bottles from every student day by day.
According to Trishia Mae Liongson, the Vice President of the SSLG, this project aims to lessen the waste materials scattered around the school premises and a way of earning funds by selling the collected bottles.
“Ang aim ng Project BOTELYA ay ma-minimize ‘yong mga kalat sa school natin since malaking problema talaga’yon… tapos ‘yong mga makokolekta naman na mga bote, puwedeng ibenta ‘yong mga ’yon for funds ng organization,” she stated in an interview.
On the other hand, another major project that the SSLG conducted this year is the Project MAGGAYAM (Molding the Attitudes of learners through Grasping Great Activities and Yearning for Astounding Management), which made its break during the School Intramurals 2024.

editorial RISKY REVISION
7
out of 10 students agreed on the revision of class suspensions during calamities and disasters.
It is undeniable that tropical cyclones are dangerous and could affect the education system of this country. On the previous month, the Department of Education (DepEd) released revisions regarding the guidelines in announcing work and class suspensions during calamities and disasters, which resulted to a heated debate between the people who agree about the revisions and those who don’t. The revised guidelines will only make the situation worse, knowing that there are risks in attending classes during typhoons.
There are many reasons why the revised guidelines are considered off the hook. Aside from the sudden change from what is consid- ered normal before, this revision would also result in many complaints from the affected people especially since it tackles one of the major aspects that everyone values – their safety.First, it is imperative to consider that the re- vision of guidelines increased the risk in safety of not just students but also the teaching staff. Disasters, such as typhoons, can be stronger anytime. Typhoons can also have numerous victims; there’s no point in having catch-up classes if it comes at the expense of safety.
Second, it is important to note that this will only result in an educational inequality for both the public and the private schools. If private schools do not follow the guidelines, the ones who are studying in public schools will only think that those staff from the private sectors care for those who are studying at pri- vate schools’ safety during disasters, and the DepEd doesn’t, potentially leading to mental health issues due to students’ burnout.
Third, the revised guidelines will make students experience culture shock. Because of this, many students will not attend classes for sure leaving the “uninterrupted classes” to be rendered meaningless, if students themselves choose to not attend school during calami- ties. DepEd knows students are already too exhausted from attending classes every day, and now classes will no longer be suspended in times when safety must come first.
However, the revised guidelines are beneficial for uninterrupt- ed learnings to catch up since public schools were aligned to follow DepEd’s school cal- endar of activities. However, as mentioned earlier, it would be useless if the safety of the stu-
dents and teaching staff were already at stake. The country is already facing disasters, and everyone knows it is better to suspend classes once they are aware that disasters pose a threat to them.
To conclude, the revised guide- lines of the DepEd will cause increased risk to safety, display a sense of unequal education, and a delay in their goal to an “uninterrupted learning”. Considering that there are many people who are against the revision of guidelines due to the burden they carry among themselves from disasters, the revised guidelines are surely ineffective.
DepEd should think of other options to remediate learning losses than to risk everyone at times of unfortunate events. In addition, It should be noted in mind that catch-up classes would be rendered useless if it comes at the expense of everyone’s safety. DepEd, decide wisely regarding the revision of guidelines in sus- pending work and classes, because a RISKY REVISION is not a solution!
Great wear, I swear!

In the Philippines, there exists a common yet intense problem that keeps on pulling down Filipinos under the ground – financial problems. In any place, in any aspect, someone out there is suffering silently, thinking of how to manage the money they have in their pockets. This problem affects many aspects of life, including education.
Learning is fun and beneficial, but it also comes at the expense of spending fortune. From the school supplies to the different contributions to the projects and many more, money is spent on schools. But one of the things that often cause a lot of money in schools is the school uniform.
Wearing a uniform to school will make you look neat and presentable to the class. It also presents an equal atmosphere to every student. However, it is also pricey. It’s a good thing that in Itawes National High School (INHS), a new schedule in wearing uniforms has been implemented – Type A uniform for Mondays and Wednesdays, Type B uniform for Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Organizational attire for Fridays. Which, for me, is great for the following reasons.

First, it gives more flexible ways for students to wear uniforms. This schedule will be much more convenient for students, regardless of grade level, since everyone is not required to wear Type A uniforms all week, unlike in the past years. The different types of attire also go in an alternate schedule, which gives students the chance to get a day when they are comfortable with what they’re wearing.
Second, the schedule is pro-student and helps the students to save money. Under the new schedule, students can obtain at least one pair of uniforms of each type, compared to the previous schedule where two pairs of uniforms are sometimes not even enough for a student. Now, students can wear uniforms in a “wash and wear” manner, all week-long.
Third, it inspires students to wear uniforms since the new schedule is better. The new schedule keeps the wearing of uniforms by students intact, preserving the traditional set-up of students in schools while also ensuring their welfare and respective financial positions – something that is great to see.
However, while the new schedule is indeed great, there are still problems to face. Such is the stubbornness of the students in following the schedule or even wearing uniforms. One thing to also consider is that not everyone has their own organizational shirts, resulting in them wearing Type C attire. All in all, the new schedule of wearing uniforms is good in the sense that it is flexible, pro-student, and cost-efficient. There is no denying that this new schedule benefited all the students in terms of what to wear and how much to spend on uniforms. I, as a student who is in favor of the new schedule, say that the new sets of attires are great wears, I swear!
What is your stand in the revised guidlines of DEPED regarding the cancelations of work and classes?

Respect and Accept
by PAULINE LORENZO
Movies are not just movies. It holds and expresses something, either real or imaginary. It often talks about the issues of today, and about things that we should be aware of and reflect on. One example is the movie Wicked, wherein it’s not just an ordinary fantasy movie, but tells us something important about respecting and understanding other people.
DELANO DOMINGO JR.
In my own perspective, DepEd’s revised guidelines regarding the suspension of work and classes have good and bad sides. It’s good since it offers a new basis on class suspension, avoiding further disruption of classes. However, DepEd should try to consider more the future situations of students in schools since they will be put in different instances that may potentially bring harm to them.
In this movie, we can receive lots of messages and lessons that we can apply in our lives, especially the ability to understand a person despite doubting their personality in a stereotypical way. I believe that understanding one’s emotions and feelings is an act of respect for other people and avoiding discrimination and prejudice in the community, leading to a beneficial society.
The lessons that we can get from this are that simply, don’t judge the book by its cover. As we can see in the movie, Elphaba is a green-skinned witch while Glinda is a popular blonde fairy. It’s not about appearance, it’s about the personality, and Elphaba had portrayed a good sense of characterization and role while Glinda often showed a villainous role in the movie despite having a friendly and elegant appearance.
In a review, Laura Pokedoff said that the story is all about friendship, identity, and standing for what you truly believe in, even if the whole world is against it or doesn’t agree with you at all. The act of standing for justice and for what is right, helping others out even when other people think it’s not right at all is one of the bravest things that Elphaba had shown.
Prejudice was the top underlying theme in the movie, as people have judged Elphaba as a wicked witch due to her appearance that is quite common to
I firmly believe that DepEd Order No. 022, s. 2024, which revises the guidelines for class suspensions, is a wise decision since it promotes the welfare, safety, and protection of all individuals involved. I’m glad that DepEd now considers additional factors, unlike the old order where classes from K-12 were automatically canceled under TCWS No. 2, even when the weather was fine. Thus, I fully support the revision of these guidelines.

Meanwhile, people saw Glinda as a good and ideal pop- ular girl even though Elphaba is the one who’s deserving to be taking the Though,title. is it that difficult not to be judgmental all the time and learn to understand and respect?

A Voter’s Duty
by TRISHIA LIONGSON
Every election, we are given the chance to shape the future of our nation. Many treat this privilege lightly, forgetting that the leaders we choose hold the power to change lives—for better or worse. Yet, why do so many of us settle for leaders who fail us again and again? How can we expect progress if we allow the wrong people to lead us?
Selecting the best politicians is not an easy task, but it is a necessary one. We must stop voting based on popularity, wealth, or promises that sound too good to be true. Instead, we should look for leaders with integrity, wisdom, and a genuine desire to serve. A good leader is someone who puts people first, not their personal gain.
Think about it, what happens when we choose the wrong leaders? Corruption spreads, poverty grows, and trust in the government fades. The voices of ordinary people are silenced, and progress becomes a distant dream. We deserve better
I think the new revised guidelines of DepEd is unfair and dangerous. It doesn’t make sense to only cancel classes for younger students during a storm. Even if it’s Signal No. 1, older students can still be in danger because of strong winds and heavy rain when going to school. The rules should keep all students safe, no matter how old they are. It’s risky to put them at risk just because of their grade level.
than this, but we need to take action to achieve it.
Let us learn to dig deeper. Research the candidates, their history, and their plans. Do they truly care about the peo- ple, or are they only there for power? Listen to their words, but more importantly, watch their actions. A true leader doesn’t just speak, they act.
Our votes are powerful. They are the keys to unlock- ing the future we want for ourselves and for the next generation. Let us use them wisely, not out of fear, pres-
Special and Essential
by PAULINE LORENZO
Culminating activities aren’t just ordinary activities that usually happen at school every year – these are different activities that have special happenings that are set for students. However, do they have importance? Yes, there are lots of importance that we can get from these activities.
First of all, culminating activities are very important to the extent that it allows students to demonstrate their skills and knowledge comprehensively. For example, in the aspect of Arts Month, students are able to express their talents through zumba, festival dance, cheer dancing and more.
Second, these develop confidence and self-esteem once a student accomplishes a culminating activity which would provide a sense of satisfaction and reminder of their hard work and effort.
The most important advantage of this is that it motivates students to continue and improve what they have progressed and completed throughout the activity.
sure, or ignorance. Let us not allow lies and manipulation to guide our choices. Instead, let us vote with our hearts and minds united for the good of our country. The best politicians are out there, but it is up to us to find and choose them. The change we seek starts with us. Make your vote count. Make it meaningful. Educate yourself and encour- age others to do the same. The future is in our hands—don’t let it slip away by choos- ing poorly. Stand up, be informed, and choose the leaders we truly deserve. It is not our right—it is our duty and respon- sibility.
Through this, they will be more inspired and enjoy doing things such as activities like these. While culminating activities have values and benefits, it can have downsides such as increasing students’ stress, anxiety and loss of interest. If they can’t handle the activities, especially when it seems difficult, it might lead to dropping out of school and have negative effects.
On the other hand, these problems can be endured by managing time to be able to focus and to avoid much pressure and stress and ask for help whenever help is needed.
Ultimately, culminating activities like Arts Month and other school programs are special and essential in enriching the educational experience of students by allowing students to demonstrate skills and knowledge, developing confidence and self-esteem and motivates students. But, for this to effectively happen, students must be encouraged to participate to improve themselves.

Just Cooperate!
by LOREN BURUCANAY
Instead of complaining, it’s better to start learning.
The Philippines has experienced an unusual phenomenon in the past months, with a continuous parade of destructive typhoons. With this, many schools, especially in region 2, have had no choice but to cancel and suspend their classes. But the question is, are we going to allow these typhoons to stop us from growing and learning? The answer is NO.
Fortunately, the Department of Education (DepEd) has implement ed DepEd Order No. 022, s. 2024, an order on class suspensions in schools during typhoons and other natural calamities and offers students alternative ways to continue their learning. But is this helpful? Absolutely yes. The positive impact of Alternative Learning is undeni able.
First, it allows students to keep learning even during challenging times. The activities sent by our teachers not only keep us engaged, but they also provide us with the opportunity to continue our studies, even if we are confined to our homes. I think this kind of learning setup nurtures self-discipline and time management—essential skills for students’ development.
Second, while staying at home, instead of doing nothing and spending too
are not heavily affected by the typhoon, and teachers in these areas will surely take this into consideration.
Additionally, these complaints are often just shallow rebuttals from lazy students who use typhoons as an excuse to waste time on social media, engaging in unnecessary activities. As they say, “When there’s a will, there’s a way.”
Thus, this alternative learning initiative by DepEd is indeed a great help. If we just learn how to engage ourselves, then there will be no need for Saturday classes. If

Being a journalist is a pleasure for every student. Imagine representing their respective schools with their talent in writing, which is such a privilege for them. But we cannot deny the fact that every smart inspiring journalist is also a student who sits on their chair, answers their exam and hangs out with their classmates.
Some days journalists are con- tinuously practicing their individual categories while they are excused in their respective class which results in them not always being in their classroom and missing a lot of lectures.
As a journalist, I want to catch up on every single lesson that I miss because this is also for me. If my journalism journey comes to a break, I will go back to my old peaceful life – being a normal student and doing my school works. That’s why I don't want to let my
studies be neglected because this is also for my future.
It is important that we know that being a journalist is such a hassle task, a lot of fact sheets that our coaches give to us while teachers are continuously giving activities so that we can catch up to our lessons. Handling both school works and articles is like biting an empty spoon. Additionally, a lot of journal- ists miss their bonding with their classmates and special friends,
In conclusion, behind those shining articles we produce, there are school works we need to chase, friends we missed bonding with, and of course, the life of being a normal student inside the classroom. Apart from our achievements, we remain committed to balancing academic and social relation- ships. We strive to excel, not just in our writing, but in every aspect of student life.
Let's strike a balance between being a journalist and a student. Beyond achievements, prioritize also our studies. Give time for studies and nurture friendships. Together, let's em- brace the journey, not just the accom- plishments, unlock our full potential along with the paper that proves that no matter how many problems we have, we are still standing and proving that we can do it for us to be everyone's pride!
EDUCATION OF HEROES
by Gabriel Ellososon
“Thank you po, Ma’am!”
Everyone aspires to become the person they admire the most. Some may want to become a doctor, policeman or even a fireman, but we can’t deny that without the guidance of teachers, we won’t be able to achieve the dreams we dream of.
As we continue to grow, we transition from being naive and innocent kids to having our own mature minds. The guidance of teachers will always be present, and they will always have our back no matter what.
The guidance of teachers is very much needed by us students, without them we won’t be able to achieve our dreams and grow into responsible people and citizens of the Philippines.
Moreover, being able to speak and teach without having the risk of getting sore throats is the main purpose of teachers needing to maintain their voices properly, as it is their main weapon in teaching. As all teachers stay up past midnight just to finish their lesson plans and other work needed.
Furthermore, all teachers deserve to have at least one day of rest aside from the holidays. That is why teacher’s day was created, where teachers can just sit back and relax without having the need to use their voice for teaching.
“Teaching is tiring at times but the mere thought of knowing that I gave out some knowledge to others make me less tired,” Leonida P. Jacinto, Head Teacher V of Itawes National High School (INHS) shared during the celebration of their special day – something that stayed with the minds of the audience and touched their hearts.When teachers get tired, teacher’s day comes to the rescue. As teachers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that they are able to rest for one day and have the chance to spend more time with their students.
Teacher’s day isn’t just a day to celebrate, it’s also a day to remember. It is also a way for us students to show our appreciation for them. We should be thankful that teacher’s day was created, if it wasn’t, they won’t be able to recognize teachers as the heroes of education.
NeedHelp!
by Delano Domingo Jr.
To my most valued home, please take a rest. You are tired. I know you are.
It was in the year 2019, when I first had a glimpse of your beauty. Different feelings showered upon me back then because not only that I am nervous on my first year in high school, but I am also astonished by your aesthetics, fearful if I am worthy of even seeing it. I was overjoyed. I was excited. But everything went blank as the COVID-19 came, blocking me from entering your boundaries again.
Fast forward to the year 2021 when I was given another chance to see you. It was only two years, but I can see that you had improved a lot. You became much prettier. Much to the extent that I do not want to go far from you again. But destiny seems to toy with us. Since the pandemic was still present at that time, paying you a visit was still hard. I could only wish that I could see you more often.
To go further, it was 2022 when things slowly started to get back to normal. Schools reopened giving me lots of opportunities to see you. Every day, I would move my feet and feel every step while going inside you, exploring even your deepest parts. I never felt bored whenever I am wandering inside you. I never did. One can say that I am in love with you and that I treat you as my home.
You have been a great help not just to me, but to every learner that studies inside you. You have helped me in ways that even I did not imagine. I do not know how to say this to you but here it is. First, you are the reason why I was able to make friends and improve my social circle. It is through your institution that I developed different companies which helped me so much. You became a bridge, and I am humbled because of that.
Second, you were there with me at times when no one else was. I do not know if you had noticed, but at times when I am feeling blue, you have always been one of my comforters. At times when I feel that I am burdened with a ton of works, seeing you would easily ease me. You became my companion, and I am very thankful for that.
Third, the most obvious yet most important thing that happened because of you – learning. I would not be where I am now if it was not because of the knowledge and wisdom I extracted during all the lessons that were made possible because of you. All the experiences, all the learnings, and all the improvements I obtained were due to your service. You became my second home, and I am grateful for that.
You provided me with so much care and this write-up is not enough to equal all of it. Going back to the present, I am very excited to meet you again. The scheduled opening for the School Year 2024-2025 was on July 29 and I have been waiting for so long for that day. I prepared everything just to have a sight of you again. But everything did not go according to plan. As we were near half of the school year, something unexpected happened. I guess destiny wants to play with us once again.
Six consecutive typhoons struck you, Kristine, Leon, Marce, Nika, Ofel, and Pepito. I, myself, did not expect that its toll would be that big. If I knew, I would have warned you. If I knew, I would have prepared for you to not suffer too much. Only if I knew. But what is done is done, I can only hope that you are okay. I heard that you went through a lot. I saw pictures of you slowly drowning in the wrath of the heavy rains. It pains me and it is made even worse knowing that I cannot do anything to support you. I know you are tired of all of it. I knowyou are in great pain, but we are all here to help you get over it. Please get better so that you could continue to give quality education to everyone.
It is at times like this where everyone should unite; that everyone should help one another; and that everyone should support the restoration of their homes. The six consecutive typhoons left every home in Cagayan devastated. So, to my second home, ITAWES NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL (INHS), know that we are all here for you. We will help you recover so that we could spend more wonderful times together. I know you need help and we, your students as well as the whole community will help you to become the home that we all care for.

Dark is the path when there is no one around; blurry is the sight when there is no one to lead; and wobbly is the way when there is no one to guide us. In this world where evolution and innovation continue to take place, everyone needs a leader to walk them to success – a light that fills every soul with hope.
As I walk the pathways of Itawes National High School (INHS), I realized that change is evdent day after day. Change that may either be great thatbrings everyone satisfaction or bad that brings everyone destruction. If I were to choose between the two, I would definitely choose the former choice. However, it wouldn’t be easy to attain without a leader who has an initiative for change and a heart for students.
Since my first visit to INHS when I was still in elementary school, a lot has changed. I can easily differentiate the state of the school from then and now. Through the years, it has changed and improved a lot – all because of the outstanding leaders that once handled the school in the previous generations.
This school year 2024-2025, a new leader reigns over INHS. A person not new to the depths and processes inside the school; a person who has shaped the lives of many; and a person who is coming back again to the institution he once called home. In my first year of working with him, I can’t help but admire his leadership and the image he has built for himself.
