‎Ready na ba, LUNIANS?
‎
‎Konting oras na lang at balik-eskwela na ulit! Panibagong school year, panibagong lessons, bagong friends, bagong memories, at bagong goals.

‎Excited na ba kayo sa recitations, group activities, school events, puyatan para sa deadlines, at minsan... iyakan din?

‎At siyempre, huwag kalimutang ihanda ang mga school essentials—ballpen, notebooks, ID, water bottle, at para sa iba, make-up essentials din!
‎
‎Kaya siguraduhing handa ka, hindi lang sa school supplies kundi pati sa mga bagong challenges at experiences na naghihintay sa'yo.

Prayer isn't our last resort; it’s our first line of defense. Ephesians 6:18 reminds us that the Armor of God is activated through a life of consistent, Spirit-led prayer. It’s a call to stay alert, remain persistent, and lift up the community around us.

How are you prioritizing prayer in your daily routine this week? Comment your answers below.

The LU-CSC Literary and Debate Society wishes to express its profound appreciation to the individuals who have been instrumental to the club's success during Academic Year 2025–2026.

We commend the LDS Officers for their exemplary hard work and dedication in executing the club's vision this year. This milestone is a testament to our collaborative efforts.

We are deeply grateful to our mother organization, the Laguna University Central Student Council for their enduring support. We also extend our sincerest thanks to Ms. Flor Minas, Student Prefect of Activities and Ms. Emelyn U. Napiza, OSAS Director for their steadfast institutional support over the last two years.

Special recognition is also given to the our Club Adviser, Mr. Rydelle Vallejo, whose wisdom and guidance have anchored us through the years.

And last but not in the least, to the pioneering officers and founder of the club, whose visionary contribution continues to empower and elevate the entire LDS community. Thank you all for your invaluable service.
