Tumatanda na yata ako. Ewan, bawat pahayag ng kung sino, problema ng bansa—ah, basta, nababagabag ako. Ramdam kong hindi na ako ‘yong bata na sunod lang sa agos ng buhay sa paligid. Hindi na ako ‘yong batang tumatakbo salungat sa hangin na tumatama sa mukha ko. Na humahagalpak mula sa tawa, kahit pawis, madumi, at sinermonan ng magulang dahil baka kung ano ang mangyari sa akin. Tanda ko pa ang mga katagang, “halika’t punasan natin ang likod mo!” o ‘di kaya’y, “bibilangan kita, kung hindi ka pa uuwi rito, itatapon ko ang mga gamit mo sa labas!” Noon, nakakainis pakinggan, pero ngayon, parang gusto ko na bumalik na lang sa partikular na mga oras na ‘yon. Ngayon kasi, ni hindi ko alam ang patutunguhan ng buhay ko. Hindi ko mahanap kung saan ba talaga ako nababagay. Siguro itong mga problema
ko ang talagang problema ng henerasyon ko—ang bigat na pasan namin dulot ng hindi natatapos na siklo ng ideyang "ikaw ang pag-asa". Pero tumatanda na nga ba tayo? Dati, kapag sumasabat ako sa mga usapan ng mga matatanda, ang sabi nila’y ‘wag daw akong sumali dahil hindi ko nauunawaan ang mga konteksto ng pag-uusap nila. Pero bakit ngayon na nasa wastong edad na ako, hindi niyo pa rin pinapakinggan ang kahit anong hinaing at saloobin ko? Kikimkimin ko na lang ba ang lahat ng ito? Siguro rin, ang mga ito ang mitsa ng mga pinaniniwalaan ko ngayon. Na hindi masama ang tumaliwas sa nakasanayan, hindi masama ang pagpapakita ng hindi pagsang-ayon. Habang tumatanda ako, mas lalo lang nagiging malinaw sa akin na ang mundo ay punong-puno ng kapitalismo, karahasan, at inhustisya. Na tayo mismo, ay nagiging produkto nito nang walang
Andromeda to Earthly Growth
by Olis A one's spacious mind can contain a level of Andromeda Galaxy, But it seems to follow a static of wavelength connections, Those connections between ourselves from the past Can change to a sudden momentum Every earthly hour is reached— Far beyond the mortal development of our own axis; Where change is permanently developing, As we're continuously growing The soil is a vessel of species and astronomical events From the paradigms of countless paradox, Every second is a billion more reflections, That make us a special moment in every day Consuming escapism that bonds us to the moon's astral retrograde, Our actions and emotions transcend to our vibrational aura It simply tells us that never separate our souls from our feelings, Because we are a personal specimens to this planet And personal growth is indeed organic, So we must always feed our souls with growth.

kamalay-malay. Pero ang mga henerasyong dumaan, alam na ito, ngunit pinili na lang manahimik dahil takot basagin ang "status quo". Sa nakikita ko, marami na ang tulad ko ngayon. Ang henerasyon ko nga raw ang pinakabukas ang kaisipan sa mga isyu. Nakikinig, nanunuri, at sumasangguni. Tumitindig—lalo na ngayon sa panahon ng disimpormasyon at pagmamanipula sa kasaysayan. Hindi na ako bata. Hindi na lang ako basta sumusunod sa agos ng panahon. Siguro ang pagsusulat ang resulta ng pagkimkim ko sa mga emosyong matagal ko nang gustong ipahayag. Hindi na ako takotsa hinaharap, dahil alam ko nandito na ako sa umpisa. Lahat ay parte ng mahabang lakbayin tungo sa pangarap. Oo nga't tumatanda na ako, kasabay magtatanda sa akin ang turo ng kasaysayan—lahat dahil at para sa hinaharap na bukas, at oo, para na rin sa bayan.
graceful violence by Calista
life is a shape shifter today an ally, tomorrow a villain if you're safe, it can take you somewhere safer yet blink once– you're trembling in fear of the uncertain i can't remember what it's like not fearing the unknown fearing i'd fail, or even start, fearing i'm missing any part doubting if from the pits i've ever grown more horribly, fearing that fear has dominated my heart what's left in my mind was a little bravery which took me time to embrace i listened to what it said, fairly carefully 'kill the fears, do it with grace.' i felt a fighter inside me rise; grace in my heart, i saw violence in my own eyes

PHINMA-UPang Releases 8 New Batches of Hawak-Kamay Scholars for School Year 2022-2023 By Micah Theresa C. Pidlaoan
Beginning from the 14th of January to the 13th of May, 2022, over 4000 incoming first-year students of PHINMA-University of Pangasinan have been granted the Hawak-Kamay scholarship for the school year 2022-2023. 4032 new incoming freshman grantees, all divided into 8 batches, have now been newly rewarded the Hawak-Kamay scholarship for the new school year. This has always been a notable pre-enrollment university tradition as students who are about to enter their first year in college apply and wait for their names to appear on the list of qualified beneficiaries. Once their slots have been reserved, only then can students be able to have 25, 50, or 75% of their tuition fee for that particular semester be discounted. With over 9 schools in partnership nationwide, PHINMA Education assures their learners not only quality education and experience but helping hands as well. Financial instability has been one of the major reasons for the increasing drop-out rate in schools, and so scholarships are of huge help to families, especially in a country where education is highly valued. If you are an incoming Senior High School student or College Freshman who is still on the fence to enroll in a private school, PHINMA Education has something for you. Their Hawak Kamay Scholarship offers up to 75% discount on tuition and miscellaneous fees, it is valid for the entire program duration and requires no maintaining grade. The scholarship program has changed the lives of recipients, as exhibited in the following #HKStories.
"Y our kind consideration in granting me 50% scholarship for my tuition fee has
been a very big help relative to my present condition as a solo parent who is still a student... The 50% obligation that had been freed by my scholarship is being used fr the supplies of my two-year-old daughter and for the purchase of my school supplies and requirements. I am fervently and sincerely hoping that my caring alma mater will never get tired of helping out less fortunate students like me. PHINMA UPang College Urdaneta stood strongly on my behalf and I am willing to serve my alma matter as an expression of my gratitude.

"Aselfs a pursuing person, I couldn't imagine mycollege when it comes
to finances. But because of my goals in life, I've tried my best. I became a working student to support my everyday allowance in school for I know that we are not financially stable. For all those hardships of mine, I can say that I am one of the luckiest students to enroll in PHINMA UPang College of Urdaneta. I am one of those students that were granted
to take a scholarship program which is the Hawak Kamay Scholarship. The 50% discount that is granted to me is a big help for me and my mom who is trying her best for me to continue college. I am a third-year student taking up a Bachelor of Science in Criminology and still a scholar of HK. I am happy and blessed for having this scholarship and will be forever grateful. Joshua L. Manipud BS Criminology, PHINMA Upang

Quality education doesn’t have to be unaffordable, and this is long proven by PHINMA Education, and the recipients themselves. Indeed, Making lives better through education. Submission of slot reservations is through an online application posted on the official PHINMA University of Pangasinan Facebook page every enrollment period.
