🚫 Oopss! And while we can laugh about it, our waterways are 𝗻𝗼 𝗷𝗼𝗸𝗲!

Celebrated on the 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 every year, 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 reminds us of the rivers that quietly keep our communities running. They provide water, support biodiversity, sustain agriculture and livelihoods, and help shape healthy ecosystems. 🚣🏻🍃

📅 This year’s theme, “𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀,” brings the message closer to home: our rivers are not just somewhere out there. They are part of the communities we live in, and what happens to them eventually affects us, too.

And here in the Philippines, caring for our waterways is very much a community effort. The DENR and local partners conduct cleanups, rehabilitate waterways, and carry out other activities across rivers and urban waterways. In Metro Manila alone, waterways such as the Pasig, Marikina, and San Juan River systems are part of ongoing efforts to address pollution and flooding. 🤓💫

So whether we’re crossing a bridge, passing by a creek, or… accidentally turning the streets into one during heavy rain 😭, let’s remember that 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀.

🌊💙 Because a river should carry life, NOT our trash, and definitely NOT our problems.

What happens behind the scenes of every event, initiative, and project? 👀

From the ideas we bring to life to the resources entrusted to us, every effort is part of the work we do for the Thomasian biology community. This term, we’re opening the books and taking a look back at what we’ve accomplished together.

In collaboration with the College of Science Student Council, we proudly present Project SMARTs: The General Transparency Report for the Second Term of A.Y. 2025–2026!

The General Transparency Report rounds up the projects, events, initiatives, and commitments accomplished by the UST Biology Society throughout the previous term, giving our community a closer look at the work behind each endeavor. 📋✨

Alongside this, the Partial Financial Report provides a breakdown of the expenses behind our events and initiatives, giving everyone a clearer look at how organizational funds were utilized throughout the term. 💰📊

Through Project SMARTs, we continue to uphold transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship in everything we do. Because every effort deserves to be documented, and every resource entrusted to us deserves to be accounted for.

For any questions or if you would like to request a more in-depth report or further clarification regarding the information presented, feel free to reach out to us through our official channels. We remain open to your questions and are committed to keeping our community informed. 📥

"𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙤 𝙣𝙝𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙤, 𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙥𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙠𝙖 𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙤 𝙨𝙖 𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙮" 𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘪𝘪! 𝘙𝘦𝘯𝘰 ‘𝘺𝘶𝘯!🙈😒

But this isn’t a joke when 𝗳𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟮𝟳,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗿𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘀 remain in the wild. ‼️

🌍🩶 Every 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟮, 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗥𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗗𝗮𝘆 reminds us to 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲, protecting the world’s five remaining rhino species from poaching, habitat loss, and extinction. From the critically endangered Javan and Sumatran rhinos to the recovering Greater One-Horned rhino, every species still has a story worth saving.

And here’s a wild Philippine fact: 𝗿𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀! 𝘕𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴, an extinct Philippine rhino, left behind fossils and evidence of butchery alongside stone tools dating back roughly 709,000 years. 🤩

We may not see rhinos roaming our local forests today, but their fight is still our fight. From stopping illegal wildlife trade to protecting their habitats, every action counts toward keeping the five alive. Because when wildlife disappears, the whole world loses something.

So let’s keep the five alive, because 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘂. 🥺❤️‍🩹

“𝘒𝘢𝘺𝘢 𝘮𝘰 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘭𝘢 ’𝘦, 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘰 𝘣𝘢’𝘵 𝘴𝘢’𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘯𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘱 𝘬𝘢?” — Ozone Layer 😞🌎

Why are we willing to give the world to the ones we love, but struggle to give the same care to the world itself?

High above us, the 𝗢𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 quietly does its job, absorbing most of the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays and helping create conditions where people, wildlife, and ecosystems can thrive. 🍃

But our modernization comes with a cost. 𝗢𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 (𝗢𝗗𝗦) have weakened this natural shield, while climate change continues to intensify heat and threaten human health and ecosystems.

The good news? 𝙒𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙙𝙤 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙩! The Philippines is a signatory to the Montreal Protocol, working to phase out ozone-depleting substances and eliminate remaining hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) by 2030. 🌱🩵

Observed every 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟲, 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗢𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆 reminds us that protecting the ozone layer is also part of protecting our climate. This year’s theme, “𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲,” calls for collective action to promote sustainable cooling, reduce harmful emissions, and keep our planet safe and cool for generations to come! ❤️‍🩹

Maybe the world isn’t asking us to give it everything.

Maybe it’s just asking us to 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙥 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝.
