Every last Monday of August, we commemorate the "Cry of Pugad Lawin" in 1896, which marked the beginning of the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. We look back on the extraordinary bravery and ultimate sacrifices of those who secured our independenceโ€”Andres Bonifacio, Josรฉ Rizal, Apolinario Mabini, and the countless named and unnamed revolutionaries who dared to dream of a free and sovereign Philippines. Their courage laid the foundation of the nation we call home today.

But National Heroes Day isn't just about reading history books; itโ€™s about carrying the torch forward. It is a time to reflect on the sacrifices that bought our freedom and ask ourselves how we can build a better Philippines for the next generation.

Heroism isn't always about wielding a sword or leading a revolution. Sometimes, itโ€™s about standing up for what is right, serving your community, and showing up even when times are tough. As we remember the giants of our past, letโ€™s ask ourselves, โ€œHow can we be heroes in our own ways today? โ€

Happy National Heroes Day to every Filipino fighting noble battles every single day.

In every corner where stories unfold, press freedom remains the compass of democracy. It points us toward truth when disinformation clouds the horizon, reminding us that journalism is not a privilege but a duty to the people.

This day, August 30, now recognized under Republic Act No. 11699 as National Press Freedom Day, honors Marcelo H. del Pilar, whose words in La Solidaridad lit the spark of resistance and awakened a nationโ€™s conscience. His legacy lives on in every journalist who dares to question power, expose injustice, and defend transparency.

Yet the struggle continues. Harassment, red-tagging, and digital threats remind us that the fight for press freedom is far from over. These sacrifices show that integrity often comes at great personal cost.

Press freedom is not only about resisting censorshipโ€”it is also about combating complacency. Upholding accuracy, fairness, and accountability ensures the press remains a beacon, not a weapon.

Today, let us reaffirm our commitment to defend the truth, to honor the courage of journalists, and to stand united in safeguarding the voice of a free press.

Magkaisa tayo sa pagtatanggol ng katotohanan, sapagkat ang kalayaan ng pamamahayag ay kalayaan ng lahat.

๐‹๐Ž๐Ž๐Š:
Students at the University of Batangas Lipa City (UBLC) departed the university after the shift to asynchronous modality was officially announced at 2:00 PM, pursuant to Memorandum Circular No. 132, Aug. 28.

The memorandum was disseminated at 1:00 PM in anticipation of the further enhancement of the southwest monsoon due to the Low Pressure Area (LPA 08i) that entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

Following the announcement, students began leaving the campus to ensure their safety. However, some students were temporarily stranded at the university's front gate as moderate rains continued to fall in the area.

An Orange Rainfall Warning was issued at 3:15 PM over Nasugbu, Lian, Calatagan, Balayan, and Tuy, while a Yellow Rainfall Warning was raised over other parts of Batangas, including Lipa City.

Students are advised to prioritize their safety, avoid unnecessary travel, and closely monitor official announcements from their official page for further updates regarding class suspensions and other weather-related advisories.

Meanwhile, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) continues to monitor LPA 08i, which has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression within the next 24 hours.

The university community is encouraged to remain alert and await further announcements from the university regarding class schedules and directives.
