Another Flag Bearer Rises: STEH Continues to Build Queens Beyond the Crown

The stage lights of Saniata ti Nueva Vizcaya 2026 once again became witness to the rise of another promising queen from the School of Teacher Education and Humanities.

Representing the Municipality of Dupax Del Sur, Rhaiza Shayne A. Tenenan, a first year Bachelor of Science in Psychology student, emerged as First Runner Up in one of the provinceโ€™s most celebrated pageants. What made the achievement even more remarkable was the fact that it was her first pageant experience.

For many candidates, pageantry takes years of exposure, training, and repeated attempts before finally earning recognition on the stage. But for Rhaiza, one opportunity was enough to prove that confidence, sincerity, and heart can stand alongside experience.

Throughout the competition, she carried herself with calm elegance and quiet strength. Her presence on stage reflected not only beauty, but also composure and authenticity that naturally connected with the audience. Behind every graceful walk and poised smile was a young woman willing to take a risk and represent her municipality with pride.

Her achievement became another proud moment for STEH, a school that continues to produce women who excel not only in academics and leadership, but also in platforms where confidence, intelligence, and character are tested. Over the years, STEH has built a reputation as a home of queens, raising students who carry themselves with purpose beyond titles and crowns.

Rhaizaโ€™s journey in Saniata ti Nueva Vizcaya 2026 is proof that greatness can begin with a first step. From a first timer to one of the strongest contenders of the competition, she has now become another flag bearer of STEH excellence.

Indeed, another queen has risen, and her story is only beginning๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’›

Some crowns are delayed not because they are denied, but because they are being prepared for a bigger stage.

From once carrying the banner of STEH as Miss STEH 2023, to silently watching a door close when she was unable to represent the School of Teacher Education and Humanities for Miss SMU Campus Personality 2024, Leanne Jaye Cabras Derije of Aritao turned disappointment into direction.

And now, destiny finally speaks louder. Crowned as Saniata ti Nueva Vizcaya 2026, Leanne proved that redirection is never rejection. The journey may not have unfolded the way she once planned it, but every setback led her exactly where she was meant to stand.

A queen refined by patience, grounded by humility, and strengthened by every unanswered โ€œwhat if.โ€

Tonight, Nueva Vizcaya did not just crown a beauty queen. It crowned a story of perseverance, quiet resilience, and perfect timing.

The former Miss STEH 2023 is now your Saniata ti Nueva Vizcaya 2026.

And perhaps, this was always the crown meant for her. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ‘‘

A wave of pride fills the DPED family as we celebrate one of our own, Lorly Gwen T. Garcia, a BPED 2 student who represented the School of Teacher Education and Humanities in the recently concluded Mr. and Ms. SMU Campus Personality 2026 last night, April 29, 2026 at Rev. Fr. Cornelius Tonus Gymnasium.

On that stage, Lorly wasnโ€™t just competingโ€”she was telling her story. With every step, every answer, and every performance, she showed confidence, sincerity, and the kind of strength that comes from hard work and self-belief. Her journey led her to a well-earned title as Ms. SMU Campus Personality 2026 โ€“ Second Runner-Up, a moment that reflects all the effort she poured into this experience.

What made her run even more special was how she connected with people. She was recognized as Miss Careline Beauty, Darling of the Press, Best in Talent, and Miss Witโ€”awards that speak not just of her beauty and talent, but of her personality, her mind, and the way she carries herself with authenticity.

Lorly, your DPED family is truly proud of you. You showed us what it means to take a chance, to grow, and to stand tall no matter the outcome. Your journey is a reminder that success is not just about winning, but about becoming the best version of yourself along the way. ๐Ÿ’™

Grace shaped by discipline. Strength refined through preparation. A presence that commands not just attentionโ€”but respect.

Tonight, we rally behind more than just a candidateโ€”we stand with a woman who embodies the heart of the School of Teacher Education and Humanities.

She has trained, sacrificed, and risen through every challenge with quiet determination and undeniable fire. Every step she takes on that stage carries the pride of her program, the spirit of her mentors, and the unwavering belief of those who have witnessed her journey.

Make no mistakeโ€”she did not come this far just to participate.
She came prepared. She came ready. And she came to claim what she has long been destined for.

From your DPED Family, we stand beside you with pride in our hearts and confidence in your power. Go forth, own that stage, and let the crown find its rightful place.

Your leadership is felt in the way our department movesโ€”with purpose, discipline, and heart. You set high standards, yet you always make space for growth, understanding, and encouragement.

Thank you for the countless hours, the guidance behind the scenes, and the steady support you give to both faculty and students. Because of you, our department doesnโ€™t just functionโ€”we thrive.

May this year bring you the same joy and fulfillment that you generously share with all of us. We are truly grateful to be led by you๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

SPORTS | Sports of the Month

Pickleballโ€”a fusion of tennis, table tennis, and badmintonโ€”made its Philippine debut in February 2016 when American professional player Sara Ash conducted the country's first clinic in Cebu.

The sport's rapid growth led to the 2019 registration of the Philippine Pickleball Sports Association, Inc. (PPSA) as the national governing body, which later became the Philippine Pickleball Federation (PPF), an organization that is officially recognized by the Philippine Olympic Committee as the National Sports Association (NSA) for the sport.

Meanwhile, the momentum has reached the province. Ensuring Novo Vizcayanos don't miss out on the action, the Nueva Vizcaya Badminton Center now offers queuing sessions for pickleball enthusiasts, providing a local hub for players of all skill levels to join the pickleball community.
