Ipinagdiwang ng St. Dominic ang Buwan ng Wika: "Filipino: Wikang Mapagpalaya"
CLARIZZE BALOT
Masiglang sinalubong ng St. Dominic Human Development Center, Inc. (SDHDCI) ang Buwan
ng Wika noong Agosto 30, 2024, na may temang "Filipino: Wikang Mapagpalaya." Pinagdiwang ang
yaman ng wikang Filipino at ang kahalagahan nito sa pambansang pagkakakilanlan, isang pamana na
itinatag ni dating Pangulong Manuel L. Quezon.
Isa sa mga pangunahing bahagi ng pagdiriwang ay ang paggawad ng mga sertipiko sa mga
mag-aaral na nagpakita ng pambihirang talento sa iba't ibang larangan ng panitikan. Sumikat ang
galing at pagkamalikhain ng mga estudyante sa kanilang mga nilikha, na nagpapakita ng sigla at
kakayahang umangkop ng wikang Filipino. Ang mga parangal ay nagsilbing matibay na patunay sa
dedikasyon at pagmamahal ng mga mag-aaral sa kanilang kulturang kinagisnan.
Nagtapos ang programa sa isang nakakaantig na pag-awit ng mga awiting Tagalog na
pinagsamahan ng mga mag-aaral at guro. Napuno ng makabayang sigla ang himpapawid, na
nagpapakita ng malalim na pagmamahal at paggalang sa Pilipinas at sa pambansang wika nito. Ang
mga awit ay nagsilbing makapangyarihang paalala sa nagkakaisang kapangyarihan ng wika at sa
kakayahang magtayo ng pambansang pagmamalaki.
Ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika ng SDHDCI ay higit pa sa isang pormal na okasyon; ito ay
isang masiglang pagpapahayag ng pagpapahalaga sa kultura at pambansang pagkakakilanlan. Sa
pamamagitan ng mga nakakaengganyong gawain, pinalalim ng paaralan ang pag-unawa at
pagpapahalaga sa kulturang Pilipino at pamana nito, na pinatibay ang kahalagahan ng pangangalaga
at pagsusulong ng pambansang wika para sa mga susunod na henerasyon.
Valuing Unity, Solidarity, and Camaraderie in all its forms
ATHEENA LONGCOP
St. Dominic Human Development Center, Inc.'s intramurals were held last September 4-7,
2024. It was a very fun and exciting event, not only for the students but also for the coaches. This
was their opportunity to show off their skills in a variety of sports, including volleyball, basketball,
badminton, chess, and Scrabble.
Additionally, during the event, the parents and students showcased the ability to cook and
teamwork; the Purple Haze came out first. On the third day, the eagerly awaited intramural
pageantry took place. They showcased their sports attire, modeling competence and wit in the
Question & Answer portion. For the male category, Orange Titans won, and for the female category,
Black Phoenix placed first. Every team had a great time at the parlor game that same day, along with
their coaches and teachers. Students also had the opportunity to showcase their dancing abilities at
this event; the Orange Titans won first place in the modern dance competition.
The Black Phoenix brought home the trophy for this year's intramurals. One thing that most
of us undoubtedly recognized after the event is that, in the end, winning isn't always what matters;
it's the thought that we made an effort to win every game despite uncertainties and fears. Despite
losing, each team's efforts were still somehow worthwhile since they had a good time. A lot of
gratitude was given to everyone who helped make it a memorable and successful event.

Pagsasanay para sa Lindol: Isang Mahalagang Hakbang sa Pagpapabuti ng Kahandaan sa
Sakuna
DENIEL CUETO
Habang sinusubukan natin ang ating pang-araw-araw na buhay, madaling kalimutan ang mga
banta ng lindol na nasa ilalim ng ating mga paa. Ang Pilipinas na matatagpuan sa Pacific Ring of Fireay
isa sa mga bansang pinakanakararanas ng lindol sa buong mundo. Hindi ito isang katanungan ng kung
paano, kundi kailan ang susunod na malakas na lindol.
Ito ang dahilan kung bakit ang mga pagsasanay para sa lindol ay isang mahalagang bahagi ng
pagpapabuti ng kahandaan sa sakuna. Sa pamamagitan ng pagdaraos ng regular na mga drill, maaari
nating matiyak na ang mga indibidwal, komunidad, at institusyon ay may kaalaman at kasanayan na
kailangan upang tumugon nang epektibo sa panahon ng lindol.
Ang mga ehersisyo para sa lindol ay may ilang layunin. Una, nagbibigay ito ng kamalayan
tungkol sa mga panganib ng lindol at ang kahalagahan ng pagpapabuti ng kahandaan. Sa
pamamagitan ng paglahok sa mga drill, natututo ang mga indibidwal tungkol sa mga panganib ng
lindol at ang mga simpleng hakbang na maaari nilang gawin upang protektahan ang kanilang mga
sarili, tulad ng pagdurog, pagtakip, at paghawak.
Pangalawa, ang mga ehersisyo sa lindol ay tumutulong sa pagkilala ng mga kahinaan at mga
puwang sa mga plano ng pagtugon sa sakuna. Sa pamamagitan ng pag-simula ng mga senaryo ng
lindol, maaaring subukan ng mga responder at mga serbisyo sa emerhensiya ang kanilang mga
sistema ng komunikasyon, mga proseso ng pag-evacuate, at mga operasyon sa pagligtas. Ito ay
tumutulong sa pagkilala ng mga lugar na kailangang pagbutihin at tiyakin na ang mga pagsisikap sa
pagtugon ay koordinado at epektibo.
Pangatlo, ang mga pagsasanay para sa lindol ay nagtataguyod ng isang kultura ng katatagan
at pagkakaisa ng komunidad. Sa pamamagitan ng pagtatrabaho nang sama-sama upang maghanda
para sa mga lindol, bumubuo tayo ng mas matatag at mas nagkakaisang mga komunidad na mas
handa na harapin ang mga sakuna.
Sa huling bahagi, ang mga pagsasanay para sa lindol ay isang mahalagang hakbang sa
pagpapabuti ng kahandaan sa sakuna. Ito ay nagliligtas ng buhay, nagbabawas ng pinsala, at
nagtataguyod ng katatagan ng komunidad. Habang patuloy nating tinatahak ang mga lugar na
nakakaranas ng lindol, hayaan nating pangunahan ang mga drill sa lindol bilang isang mahalagang
bahagi ng ating mga pagsisikap sa pagpapabuti ng kahandaan sa sakuna.
Tayo ay maaaring magtulungan upang lumikha ng isang mas ligtas at mas matatag na
hinaharap para sa ating mga sarili at para sa mga susunod na henerasyon.

On February 15, 2025, the streets of Soyung, Echague, and Isabela came alive with an
unforgettable event that brought together students, families, and family members for the annual JS
Promenade Celebration. This year’s gathering, organized by our beloved coordinator, Ms. Renalyn
Pagtama, and Ms. Fernalen Paguyo, was a dazzling reflection of rock, pop, and very much Hollywood-
themed, a special style for students to shine and celebrate their high school journey with friends and
family at large. The JS Promenade is a beloved tradition that takes place at the beginning of the year,
signaling the start of the Junior-Senior (JS) Prom season. It’s a night where elegance meets
exuberance, as the campus transforms into a grand promenade filled with glitz, glamour, and plenty
of excitement.
From the moment the first guests arrived, the air was filled with an electric sense of
anticipation. The school's ground floor was adorned with extravagant decorations—from shimmering
lights to beautiful curtain arrangements; the atmosphere was set to be something out of Hollywood.
Students, dressed in their finest outfits, posed for photos with friends and family. The promenade's
grand entrance boasted a red carpet that made everyone feel like a star, as parents and guests
cheered on the students walking through the event.
While the fun and festivity were the core elements of the celebration, the JS Promenade also
carried a deeper significance. For the juniors and seniors, it was a chance to celebrate the
culmination of years of hard work and personal growth. It symbolized the unity and friendships that
have blossomed during their high school years. For many, it was also a moment of reflection—
looking back at their accomplishments and looking forward to what the future holds. Teachers and
administrators were not only present as chaperones but also as mentors, celebrating the milestones
of their students. It was a moment of pride for the school, reflecting the values of collaboration, hard
work, and creativity that have become central to the school's educational experience.
The JS Promenade Celebration on February 15 was a testament to the power of unity. It was
a night where bonds were strengthened, memories were made, and the students’ high school
journey was honored. For everyone involved, it was an event to cherish—one that will undoubtedly
remain in the hearts of those who participated for years to come. As the students look ahead to their
final year in high school, they leave the promenade knowing that they’ve experienced a truly special
moment and that their school family is there to support them every step of the way.
The success of the JS Promenade not only highlights the school's commitment to fostering a
vibrant and inclusive community but also serves as a reminder of the importance of celebrating
milestones and the people who help us get there.
