SPORTS | First-Ever Feats: Yape secures historic gold for Philippine taekwondo in Aichi-Nagoya 2026

Filipino jin Jeus Gabriel Derick Yape secured the Philippines' fourth gold medal at the 20th Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya 2026 after a flawless 2-0 shutout over Vietnam’s Chau Ngoc Tuyet Sang, dominating the mixed individual virtual taekwondo event at the Toyohashi Gymnasium in Nagoya, Japan, on Friday, October 2.

The 22-year-old University of Santo Tomas (UST) standout whitewashed his Vietnamese opponent, 500-0 in the opening round and 620-0 in the second, to become the first-ever virtual taekwondo champion and deliver the Philippines' first-ever taekwondo gold medal in Asian Games history.

Making its official Asian Games debut, mixed individual virtual taekwondo is a digital, non-contact sport where competitors wear virtual reality headsets and motion-tracking sensors to maneuver avatars in a virtual arena, with victory decided by depleting the opponent's health bar through precise physical attacks.

Yape booked his spot in the finals following impressive wins over Saudi Arabia's Bushuaib Saber (2-1), Japan's Hayate Suzuki (2-0), and Kazakhstan's Rita Bakesheva (2-0) in the round of 16, quarterfinals, and semifinals, respectively. With the victory, he joined gymnast Carlos Yulo and pole vaulter EJ Obiena as the country’s gold medalists in the 20th Asian Games.

The virtual taekwondo champion capped off his historic Asian Games campaign with a two-medal performance, having also bagged a bronze in the men's individual poomsae event on Thursday.

Yape's two-medal feat stands out as a major landmark for Team Philippines in Aichi-Nagoya 2026, setting historic milestones for Philippine taekwondo while proving the nation's elite competitiveness in both traditional and digital combat sports.

OPINION | From Anito to Aso: When Our Respect Went Astray

Before modern society settled our archipelago, pre-colonial Filipinos practiced animism as the foundational spiritual belief system: the worldview that non-human entities like animals, plants, rocks, rivers, and weather systems possess a distinct spiritual essence, soul, or personal agency. It is a heritage that makes the prevalence of animal cruelty in our time all the more heartbreaking—a betrayal of the respect our ancestors once held for every living being.

Abandonment and neglect leave countless dogs and cats wandering Philippine streets, vacant lots, and highways—often sick, starving, or injured. Nationwide, an estimated 12 to 13 million stray cats and dogs have no home, with 100,000 to 500,000 more joining their ranks every year. Nearly 41% of the country’s total cat and dog population is homeless, and without reliable food, shelter, or medical care, countless fall victim to disease, injury, and prolonged suffering.

But the harm extends far beyond abandonment alone.

Illegal slaughter and consumption continue to plague the country: the dog meat trade persists in certain regions despite being outlawed, while wildlife is poached for exotic dishes, traditional medicine, or the illegal pet trade. On July 17, 2026, a restaurant in La Trinidad, Benguet, was exposed after government employees suspected unusual meat; DNA testing by the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) confirmed it was dog meat—the second such verification in the area. That is only one of the many incidents reported; now think of the ones that go unnoticed.

Animals are also exploited for entertainment and profit. Horse‑drawn carriages, or kalesas, in cities frequently work their creatures to exhaustion, and cockfighting remains widespread; its legal status often masks the profound and ongoing suffering it inflicts.

Deliberate violence manifests in cruel acts ranging from intentional poisoning and beatings to abuse filmed and shared widely on social media—most notably in September 2026, when a Batangas content creator livestreamed himself ordering dogs to be beaten and killed over chewed slippers, footage that spread across platforms before animal welfare groups intervened to rescue the animals.

Even at an institutional level, systemic neglect persists: stray animals are frequently rounded up and killed inhumanely through mass shooting, starvation, or pesticide injection under the pretext of “population control,” despite Republic Act No. 8485 and Republic Act No. 10631—the Animal Welfare Act of 1998, which prohibits cruelty, maltreatment, neglect, and abandonment, and requires proper care and humane treatment—mandating humane management.

Yet these persistent failures of enforcement and humane management are not isolated; they grow from deeper societal and systemic roots that allow cruelty to take hold.

Poverty does not excuse cruelty, but it does explain why compassion is often the first thing people cannot afford. Poverty and limited education shape harmful attitudes in many communities, where animals are seen as property or tools rather than sentient beings—compassion often feels like a luxury when daily survival itself is urgent. Deepening this, cultural normalization can shield cruelty: practices inflicting suffering are sometimes defended simply as long‑held tradition passed down through generations. Uncontrolled animal overpopulation further compounds the crisis, as widespread lack of accessible spay‑neuter programs fuels a relentless cycle of breeding and suffering with no humane relief. Finally, weak enforcement and impunity allow these patterns to persist.

Our ancestors did not see themselves as separate from nature; they believed animals shared the world as equals, bearing spirits worthy of respect. Today, cruelty to animals reflects a deeper erosion of empathy: how we treat the most vulnerable among us, human and non‑human alike, defines our character as a nation.

The government must replace cruel culling with free, widespread spay‑neuter programs, and strictly enforce RA 8485 and 10631. Schools and communities must teach compassion, distinguishing true tradition from cruelty. Each of us can report abuse, refuse exploitative businesses, and adopt instead of buying pets. We cannot claim to honor our ancestors while failing the beings they once revered. Let us choose to be the generation that heals the rift, honors the bond, and makes compassion not just a value we speak of, but a heritage we live by.

CET Students Gear Up for Professional Careers in SPARK 2.0

Graduating students from the College of Engineering and Technology (CET) geared up for their professional careers in SPARK 2.0: Shaping Professional Futures—Career Readiness and Knowledge in the Age of AI, a career readiness seminar and job simulation held at the Romblon State University (RSU) Quadrangle on October 8.

The seminar opened with welcome remarks and an overview delivered by Dr. Sherryll M. Fetalvero,Ph.D., Director of the Center for Alumni Relations and Employment Services (CARES). This was followed by an orientation on the RSU Career Portal led by Ms. Lia Allorie P. Mendoza, Head of Employment Services, who introduced the platform and guided students in accessing employment opportunities.

To equip students with essential job application skills, Maria Josefa Oris Punongbayan, Head of the Strategic Communications Office, facilitated a lecture titled “Future-Ready Applications: AI Support for a Stellar Résumé and Cover Letter.” The session focused on using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to develop competitive résumés and cover letters.

Meanwhile, Rowelyn D. Galicia, MAEd, RGC, LPT, Supervising Guidance Advocate, led the discussion titled “Future-Ready Interviews: Using AI to Strengthen Confidence and Skills,” highlighting interview preparation techniques and ways to build confidence when applying for jobs.

The morning session concluded with closing remarks from Engr. Nikko Reymon R. Manito, CARES Coordinator of CET, who encouraged the graduating students to apply the knowledge and skills they gained as they prepare to enter the workforce.

In the afternoon, participants checked in, verified their attendance, and received printed documents before Dr. Fetalvero presented an overview of the job fair simulation. She explained that the activity aimed to familiarize students with the recruitment process and help them prepare for the demands of the professional world.

The interviewers were then introduced, followed by the discussion of protocols and expectations to guide participants throughout the simulation. Students subsequently underwent one-on-one job interviews using the résumés they had prepared during the morning workshop, allowing them to apply their newly acquired skills in a simulated hiring environment.

The afternoon session concluded with the participants’ registration for the Wadhwani Foundation JobReady Program, further supporting their career preparation and employability.

The event was hosted by Ms. Lyka Jane D. Ballesta.

Break the Stigma before It Breaks You

With the passage of time, the recognition of mental health’s importance has grown significantly. What was once a conservative country marked by misconceptions about mental health is now seeing young people advocate for the wellness of the mind. You would think that with the newfound sense of clarity of what goes on inside our heads, people would be more open to new ideologies, opinions, and services that would help us through the battles we each silently face. However, our customs and beliefs hinder Filipinos from seeking and accepting help, and further acknowledge that mental health is not a light matter. While there is a growing movement advocating for mental health awareness, the Philippines remains to be considered a conservative country, in terms of social and economic values.

Topics outside what many consider normal are often met with dismissal. Mental health concerns are often disregarded and invalidated. Studies show that fewer than one in five Filipinos experiencing mental distress seek help. The reasons are rarely a lack of need—they are fear of being seen as weak, dismissed, or bringing shame to the family. What others call “being dramatic” or “just tired” may be the quiet cry of someone who has nowhere safe to turn. Words that discourage these individuals who want to seek help are often carelessly thrown around without a second thought, not knowing the impact that they have on someone’s life. They water down or downplay these underlying illnesses as tardiness or being anti-social—dismissing their experience can make them doubt their own reality, at a time when finding the strength to keep moving forward is already hard enough.

The phrase “mental health awareness” is replayed like a broken record, yet it seems as though what they know is only surface level, or it feels like it’s a bandwagon, a trend. People are only promoting psychological care because it has simply become popular to identify as one. The lack of knowledge regarding the issue makes it obvious that some of these “advocates” are only performative activists. It is the lack of effort and sincerity that brings the movement down.

This gap between words and action shows up not just in social media posts, but in policy and public spending.

In 2018, the Philippines passed Republic Act 11036, the landmark Mental Health Act, promising accessible care nationwide. Yet years later, most Filipinos still cannot find or afford professional support. Laws alone do not heal—they must be funded, staffed, and accepted. The country faces a severe shortage of mental health professionals: there is only approximately one psychiatrist for every 100,000 Filipinos, far below the World Health Organization’s recommended ratio of one per 10,000. Most specialists are concentrated in major cities, leaving rural and underserved communities with virtually no access at all.

The World Bank classifies the Philippines as lower-middle income, with a 2020 GNI per capita of just USD 3,430. When survival itself is a daily struggle, mental health care is not a priority—it is a luxury. The WHO confirms that nearly 70% of mental health expenses in the country are paid out-of-pocket, placing recovery out of reach for millions. Life in this developing nation is undeniably difficult; providing basic needs like food and shelter can be a struggle for many of our fellow Filipinos. People are barely getting by with how little they earn, and the cost of living continues to rise. They work relentlessly, day and night, to provide for themselves and their families—yet even if they could afford care, the long waitlists and scarcity of providers mean help may not be available when they need it. With the exhausting pace and constant stress that Filipino workers face, ironically, they lack the privilege to afford professional care, wait for scarce appointments, or even simply take a break.

Mental health advocacy may be louder than ever, but real action lags behind, and the stigma surrounding the issue still remains. Does it really matter if you are “woke” if you turn a blind eye to your own struggles? How is it that you consider yourself an advocate yet you remain a bystander? True awareness means building a safe space—but it begins not with posts, but within.

DEVCOM | Salawikain: Sila Naman, Ang Wika Natin | World Mental Health Day

Pagod lang.
Normal lang yan.
May pinagdadaanan lang.

Tipikal na tugon kapag itinatanong ang nararamdaman. Mga salin ng wikang nakasanayan— dahil minsan, pagtataksil ang pag-amin. Ang tema ngayong taon, “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change,” ay layuning makilahok ang mga taong may tunay na karanasan sa paghubog ng usaping kalusugang pangkaisipan. Hindi lang para magbahagi, kundi para maging parte ng kilusan.

Ayon sa World Health Organization (WHO), isa sa bahagi na nais maitalakay ay ang rights-based care kung saan: mabawasan ang diskriminasyon at itaguyod ang pagkakapantay-pantay lalo na ang nasa laylayan at mga taong may cognitive disabilities o kondisyong nakakaapekto sa kakayahan ng isang tao na umunawa, mag-isip, at pagproseso ng impormasyon, aktibong pagsuporta sa pagpapasya ng bawat indibidwal, magtaguyod ng malinaw na paraan para protektahan ang karapatan ng bawat pasyente tungo sa maunlad na sistema, at aktibong partisipasyon sa paglilingkod — sa pagdidisenyo, pagpapatupad, at pagpapabuti ng polisiya.

Nandiyan na ang boses, pero hindi maintindihan kasi ibang wika ang hinihintay nating marinig. Hindi sapat na pakinggan ang kuwento — kailangang intindihin ang wikang ginagamit para ikuwento.

Diksyunaryo ng Bigat

Sa isinagawang pakikipagpanayam sa tatlong residente, napag-alaman ang mga salitang madalas gamitin kapalit ng tuwirang pag-amin sa kanilang nararanasan.

Ayon kay Nanay Salome, isang tindera, “pagod” kung ilarawan niya ang problema.
Hindi raw katawan ang mabigat, kundi ang sariling hindi masabi. Kaya kinikimkim na lang, sa kabila noon hangad niya ang marinig na “ok lang yan, pahinga ka na” — pahintulot na pwedeng huminto.

Si Tatay Oca naman, isang drayber, “normal lang” ang sagot kapag tinatanong ang pakiramdam. Aniya, parang biyahe — “sakay lang nang sakay kahit mabigat. Wala naman raw puwang ang reklamo, kaya gamot ang binibili, hindi kuwento.

At pangatlo, si John Aaron, isang estudyante. “Pinagdadaanan” ang tawag sa bigat sa pagitan ng pag-aaral at pamilya. Kung paano huminga kasabay ng lahat ng kailangang kayanin, ngunit nais lamang marinig ang “naiintindihan kita”, sapat na para mapanatag at mabawasan ang dinadala.

Tatlong tao, tatlong salita. Magkakaibang bersyon ngunit iisa ang nais: ang maghilom gamit ang sariling wika.

Sa Pagitan ng Titik

Sa kabila ng sunod-sunod na proyekto at seminar na kadalasan ay nasa wikang Ingles, nananatiling tahimik ang datos. Marami pa rin ang hindi humihingi ng tulong, hindi dahil wala silang pinagdadaanan, kundi dahil hindi nila mahanap ang sarili nilang wika sa mga programang dapat sana'y para sa kanila.

Ayon sa Department of Health (DOH), kulang ang naituring na datos. Idiniin din na mas mababa ang bilang sa totoong nangyayari dahil iilang kondisyon lamang ang nasasakop nito. Noong Disyembre 2025 hanggang Enero 2026, nakatanggap ang DOH hotline ng 961 na tawag sa loob lang ng 12 araw. Patunay ito na hindi mababa ang bilang dahil walang may sakit, mababa lang ang naitatala. At sa mismong mga Pilipino, 79% ang nagsabing hindi pa sila kailanman nakakonsulta sa isang mental health professional. Malinaw na batayan: hindi kulang ang may pinagdadaanan, kulang ang napakikinggan.

May pag-aaral mismo sa Pilipinas na nagsasabing “ang paggamit ng Ingles ay hadlang sa pag-unawa ng indibidwal sa kahulugan”. Kapag hindi nagkaintindihan ang nasa itaas at nasa ibaba, ang komunikasyon mismo ang nagiging harang. Noong isinalin ang DASS-21 (Depression Scale) sa Filipino, Cebuano, Ilokano, at iba pang lokal na diyalekto, mas tumaas ang nakitang may severe anxiety at depression. Ang dating 4.2% ay umusbong sa 15.7% na bilang ng mga kaso.

Ibinahagi ng National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) ang ilang halimbawa ng pagsalin sa Cebuano: “I found myself getting agitated” bilang “Nakabantay ko nga dali ra ko masuko o saputon.” at “I felt downhearted and blue” bilang “Nakabati ko ug kaguol ug ma-oy.” Doon natukoy ang kanilang nararamdaman na minsan ay isinasawalang-bahala lang.

Indikasyon na ang wika ay hindi lang para magsalin ng salita; ito ay pagtuklas sa sugat na matagal nang nakatago at nakakubli. Kung hindi mo wika ang gamit, paano mo malalaman ang hapdi?

Pagbaliktad ng Pahina

Kung ang unang pahina ay pakikinig, ang huling pahina ay pagtawag— dahil may nakabasa na handang umunawa sa pagitan ng hikbi at salita.

Kamakailan, inilunsad ng Guidance Counselling Services Office (GSCO) ng Romblon State University - Main Campus
ang ALWAN HopeLine. Paraan para mapadali ang pagsangguni gamit ang sariling wika, na isang pindot lamang ang layo. Isang aksyon sa komunidad kung saan ang impormasyon ay umaabot hanggang sa sariling espasyo.

Ang paggamit ng sariling wika ay hindi lamang pagsasalin kundi isang mahalagang hakbang upang tumaas ang pag-unawa at pagkilala sa tunay na bilang ng mga nakakaranas ng suliraning pangkaisipan. Ang totoong pagbabago ay nangyayari hindi lang sa pakikinig sa maraming boses, kundi makinig sa iba’t ibang anyo ng pagboses— nagsasalita naman sila, hindi lang naririnig kasi ibang wika ang hinahanap natin.

Hindi lang tayo makikinig, matuto tayong magsalin.
