As love is love, everyone has their own way showing it to their lover. To show celebration, the Junior High School Student Council of St. Michael Academy of Meycauayan made an event during the month.

Tañeza Last March 4, 2022, the School Admin, Family Council, and the HUMSS Club of St. Michael Academy of Meycauayan, Inc. held an outreach program to help those other people in need, especially those who had been abandoned or no longer can be taken care of by their family. The school first went to Willing Hearts Orphanage, Inc. in Sta. Maria, Bulacan. The orphanage’s founder, Thomas Wee, had been helping children in need ever since 15 years ago but despite the lack of facility when the charity initially opened, he was able to continue aiding the children. The orphanage’s home was established after 7 or 8 years since the day of its founding. Now, the orphanage home is full of children and most of them are boys. The co-founder, Ma. Teresa G. Sta. Teresa, said that it is not just only the staff that does chores in the orphanage but also the kids that stay in there. They do this in order to teach the children to be independent and responsible on their own. Then after the school dropped some essentials that could help the children, they went straight to Malolos, Bulacan where the Tahanang Mapagpala resides. The Tahanang Mapagpala is a home to elderly people that is either abandoned or can no longer be taken care of by their families. The charity home currently consists of 17 elderly women and they are expecting more in the future. One of the sisters said that some of the elderly people came from the rescue of DSWD and they gave them a home in Tahanang Mapagpala. Although the sisters and other volunteers are so attentive in taking care of the elderly women there are still times where some of them need to leave because it is time. They said that when it happens they are the one who will process all funeral things that need to be done, even if the family is still present and can be able to do that. They also said that they only give one day of mourning for the deceased person and after that they will bury the person. The outreach program ended with success as the school successfully helped two charity homes and learned so many things about their institution. The helping of other people in need is a way of showing care and love for those people. We should remember that from time to time, if we are capable enough to help we should reach our hand to those people in need and be their source of hope.
NEWSPAPER EDITORIAL COMPLACENCY AND PERFORMATIVE ACTIVISM IN WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH By: Zoefia Dharma S. Reas March is the month that represents new beginnings and hope with the month marking the official start of spring and the end of the harsh winters. March also represents Women’s History Month, a month that dedicates itself to celebrating women and the long road it took for women today to be viewed and treated as equal. From it’s early history tracing back to the early 1900s with the women's suffrage movement to March 8 being declared as Women's Day in 1975. With the active rise of the feminist movement in the mainstream media, the work of many of those activists in the 1900s have paid off in getting their ideals be considered the norm and an entire month dedicated to celebrating them. But is that all Women’s History Month considered to us in the modern day? A month to just reminisce and remember the legacy of these activists? How should we treat this month? For us living in the 21st century the way women and girls live and the rights we have in today’s age was considered as nothing more than a scandalous and stupid ideas that could never be achieved centuries ago. Women were not allowed to work, receive proper education, vote, and had government mandated dress codes. Many dissatisfied women at the time called for the right to vote in the early days of the feminist movement and soon called for equal rights. Icons such as Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone and in the later years in the 1970s Laura Shaw Murra and many more are now considered to be the pioneers and the reason why we are allowed to do what could be considered normal daily actions to us such as going to school possible for us girls. Women’s History Month is widely celebrated around the world as we keep their legacy alive and their contributions to human rights advocacy and how they changed the world forever. Women’s History Month as the name suggests primarily celebrates the long history of women's achievements and progress. Many take this time to post and share the stories of prominent women and what they have contributed to the world. While all of these sound great I find that Women’s History Month has a bigger use than this. Women’s History Month should be a tool to continue the work of those activists. While yes we have made significant progress in equality, we still have a long road to an actual equal world. Traditional roles and ideals are still prevalent in most cultures, bias and gender discrimination still exists alongside society's double standards and expectations for girls and many countries still have extreme legally mandated restrictions of women. The way we celebrate Women’s History Month feels performative with the wave of ‘girl power’ or ‘girl boss’ merch and with hollow celebration posts by companies and celebrities fill social media sites with virtually no substance. The way it’s celebrated nowadays feels like a marketing tactic and performative activism at its finest. From companies with deep rooted issues of unequal pay and treatment making ‘girl power’ posts but doesn’t elaborate on why they are celebrating makes it feel like more of an acknowledgement that brings nothing to the table and doesn’t add anything. While we of course do have to praise and remember what these women have done for us, we should be thinking of what we should do to continue their work. Women’s History Month should be used as not just a reminder but a way to remember what we haven’t done. The unfinished business and what issues we still need to work on to help create a better world for us all. Women’s History Month is meant as a reminder to all women of the sacrifices and hardships our foremothers went through to give us the rights and privileges we have today. It’s meant as a celebration of how far we’ve come from before, a testament to our perseverance and hope for a new beginning of equality. While acknowledging history is great, the way we use Women’s History Month as nothing more than that defeats the point of it. Women’s History Month is meant to be expanded upon and continue the work of the women we idolize throughout this month. It’s use is to not just remind us of what happened but also of what is happening. It’s an outlet for us to shine a light on what we still need to work on, after all we are still far away from achieving this idea of equal treatment for us girls. We should not just acknowledge Women’s History Month with a celebration post, we should add to it and be part of it.
NEWSPAPER FEATURE WRITING “THE LUMINOSITY OF OUR STARS” By: Paulo Martin Villarin They shine brighter than metaphors as they have been used for time and time again as heavenly bodies in the night sky that guide the way. During ancient times, these heavenly bodies bestowed onto us as something that is heavenly, hopeful, and free; we wish upon stars to grant our wishes in life. According to the European Commission, for centuries leading up to this point, stars and constellations have been the blueprint of a luminous life and upbringing as they have been giving us hope, light, and being free, to lead us to our desired destination. As claimed by National Geographic, Stars and other celestial bodies are widely adored by many because of the beauty they hold and the mystery that enshrouds them. In fact, these celestial bodies are a big part of ancient mythology. The concept of years, months, and days revolve around the phases of the celestial objects that occur. We were given an idea that wishing upon a falling star can make that wish come to life, giving us that faint feeling of hope within us. As good as it sounds, unfortunately, it’s not the case at all. The falling stars we see and sometimes make a wish upon, aren’t even stars. As indicated by Bambi Turner and Sacsha Bos, they are actually meteors that entered our atmosphere at a high speed which leads it to burn up; hence the streak of light that we see. When we go to beaches, what we see are endless amounts of sand. Counting a handful of them already takes you a seemingly endless amount of time. It is believed that there are more stars in the galaxy than the grains of sand in the earth. Can you imagine just how many stars there are that continuously burn high in the galaxy? According to the World Atlas, In estimation, there are about 300 billion stars in our galaxy alone. Imagine if we also include the amount of stars in the other more than 100 billion galaxies that exist in our universe. Stars by definition are luminous plasma balls that continuously burn. As reported by Britannica, Their temperatures are actually the reason for the variety in the captivating colors made by the stars. The hotter stars emit blue or white lights while the colder ones emit orange or red hues, and the brightness that we see in our skies actually depends on their luminosity and their distance from us. In the times passed, looking up to the sky at night offers a celestial spectacle from the countless stars visible, adored for years up until now. But in our current times, it seems that the amount of stars are declining. Are they disappearing? The answer actually lies in the exact lights that mimic the light emitted by stars that helps us see better at night: Artificial lighting. Excessive amounts of artificial lighting causes an interference with the night time environment leading to something known as “light pollution”. The light pollution in the current times is so severe that in some cities, we can’t even see the stars; pity that the captivating beauty of stars is being hidden. Centuries leading up till now, stars have evolved yet their luminosity still remains. Despite the ongoing problem with light pollution, beneath the horrifying future lies an unshakable glow and luminosity that our stars have kept and will continue to keep as the years pass by. May our stars lead us the way to an everlasting incandescent glow for our future.
