2022 was a tough year for us. Some failed to achieve their dreams. Others lost their paths. Most were tired. Yet, we fought and stood up. Now that our 365-page story is near to end, we deserve to celebrate.
As we welcome the
upcoming year, may we blow all the negativities away, and together, let us
celebrate the past and look towards the future with peace and optimism.
Happy New Year!

Others expect Christmas to be a season of giving and
receiving money or gifts. Others expect Christmas to be a season of seeing
colorful decorations and hearing lively noises around the streets. Others
expect Christmas to be a season of having presentable food around their tables.
Once these expectations are not met, others often utter phrases "Christmas is boring; I can't feel Christmas
this year."
Christmas is never boring; it is your idealistic
expectations that ruin your Christmas celebration. Sharing, valuing, praying -
These what should a Christmas be - a season of sharing things regardless of its
value; a season of valuing whatever food is presented on our tables; and a
season of praying for the world to heal. More importantly, we celebrate to
rejoice the birth of Jesus Christ.
May this Christmas remind us that regardless of our
situations in life, may we learn to be blessed enough to bless others. Merry
Christmas!

To strengthen the newly created college publications of the university, CapSU FORUM initiated the two-day University-based Journalism Seminar with the theme, "College-Based Publication: A comprehensive scope for Campus Journalism,” at the FADC Hall, November 22-23, 2022.
Thirty student journalists participated where 10 students came from the College of Education, Arts and Sciences (COEAS), another 10 from the College of Agriculture and Fisheries (COAF), and an additional 10 from the College of Management (CM).
Dr. Honey Lee E. Casa, the Campus Administrator, said in her opening remarks that the seminar is a manifestation that learning is not limited to the four corners of classrooms.
“Campus Journalism plays a pivotal role in the school. It trains campus journalists to be responsible writers in the exercise of press freedom. It has become an avenue for the youth to hone their skills, to be disciplined, to think critically, and to be the upholders of freedom of the press even at their young age," Dr. Casa added.
On the first day, Prof. John Paul L. Araneta discussed News Writing, Copyreading, and Headline Writing; Prof. Juneth O. Dalida on Sports Writing; Prof. Louis Placido F. Lachica on Feature Writing; Prof. Jeric D. Dayao on Page Design and Layout; and Prof. Andy Bon D. Dariagan on Literary Writing.
Second-day speakers were Prof. Ricaflor R. Avila who shared her expertise in Editorial Writing/Cartooning and Photo Journalism and Mr. Christian John B. Villamor, Editor-in-Chief, discussed the Crafting of Editorial Policy and Constitution and By-Laws.
Prof. Michael Bañas, Student Organizations and Activities Coordinator, pointed out in his closing remarks that press freedom is not just important to democracy; it is democracy itself.
“Without journalists like you, there is no democracy at all. Being a journalist also have a yin and yang, pros and cons, and might be a blessing or a curse. In simple terms, you always have the power but it always comes with great responsibilities," Prof. Bañas explained.
Two-day journalism seminar concluded through participants' impressions, the college publication adviser’s acceptance of responsibilities, and awarding of certificates to promising and most promising writers in the different categories.

was never easy, but because of all your support and participation, we made this
possible. I thank you all for being here despite the rainy weather we
experience. As what Hellen Keller said, alone we can do so little; together, we
can do so much," Tidong said in his Words of Gratitude.
Dr. Edwin Daliva, KAT Adviser, stated during his
closing remarks that he is beyond delighted to conduct a face-to-face UN

Kumusta ang ilang dekadang pakikibaka?
Ilang pangarap na ba ang naitaguyod at
naisalba?
Mga pagod na matagal nang humihingi ng
pahinga,
Sana ngayon ang pag-asam ay nakamtan na.
Pagtuturo - isang propesyon, bokasyon
at misyon;
Dito nasusukat ang tibay, pasensya at
determinasyon.
Laba’y sinusuong kahit walang ibang proteksyon
Mga kabataan mabigyan lamang ng sapat
na edukasyon.
Nagsisilbing tulay sa mga hirayang
napagod maghintay,
Tagagabay sa pagtuklas ng panibagong karunungan
sa buhay.
Sa kasiyahan at kabiguan sa mga
kabataan nagsisilbing karamay,
Walang pag-aalinlangang buhay iaalay
makamtan lang rurok ng tagumpay.
Papel na ginagampanan sa buhay walang
makapapantay
Nagbibigay liwanag sa sa madilim na landas
Nagsisilbing susi sa saradong isipan
GURO ka, hindi GURO lamang.
ni Millean Longno
Ma’am.
Sir. Ito ang bukambibig natin sa araw-araw
na halos hindi matapos-tapos hanggang sa ating pagtanda. Sina Ma’am at sir na siyang nagbigay ng mga aralin na baon-baon. Sina Ma’am at sir na humubog sa ating mga kakayahan. Sina Ma’am at sir na nagbigay
sa atin ng mga pangaral sa buhay. Sina Ma’am
at sir na naging hagdan tungo sa pag-abot
sa minimithing pangarap.
Ang
salitang 'guro' ay umukit ng kakaibang damdamin sa ating mga puso at tumatak ng
kakaibang antas ng paggalang at paghanga. Sila ang tinuturing na pangalawang
magulang na nagtuturo sa atin na laging piliing tahakin ang tamang landas sa
pamamagitan ng kanilang mga pangaral at paggabay na nagpapaalala sa atin sa
kung ano nga ba talaga ang naaayon at nararapat.
Mula
pagkabata kung saan kababakasan ng kawalang alam at pagiging inosente hanggang
sa kasalukuyan nating kilalagyan kung saan nagkaroon ng muwang sa sitwasyon ng
mundong ginagalawan, ang ating mga guro
ang laging nariyan upang ialay ang sarili at ibahagi ang angking kaalaman sa
bawat isa sa atin. Maraming pagkakataon sa kanilang buhay na hindi na nila
maasikaso ang kanilang sarili matugunan lamang ang mga pangangailangan sa
paaralan at magampanan ang propesyong nakatakda.
Sa
pag-unlad ng isang bansa, tiyak na malaki ang kontribusyon ng bawat guro. Sabi
nga nila, “Teaching is the profession
that creates all other professions.” Sila ang puno’t dulo ng lahat ng taong
nakatungtong sa kani-kanilang sariling propesyon. Paulit-ulit man kung
pakinggan subalit ang katotohanang ito ay mahirap mapasusubalian. Walang doktor
na gumagamot sa atin, walang mga enhenyero na gumagawa ng mga gusali, walang
piloto na magpapalipad ng eroplano, at iba pang trabaho na siyang nagpapalago
sa ekonomiya ng bansa kung walang gurong humulma at humubog sa kanila.
Bilang
pangalawang magulang, ang ating mga guro ang maituturing na susi sa ating mga
pangarap. Magulang man natin ang unang
tumulong sa atin na mamulat sa mundo at nagsusustento sa ating pang-araw-araw
na pangangailangan, ngunit ang ating mga guro ang siyang gumising sa ating natutulog
na kakayahan at nagbukas sa ating kaisipan na siya namang naging sandata sa
pag-abot sa hinahangad na pangarap. Sila ang mga susi sa bawat pintuan ng ating
pansariling kakayahan kung saan nagagawa nating matuklasan at mahubog ang ating
mga potensyal nang malaya, malikhain, at buong-buo.
Sa
pagdiriwang sa natatanging araw ng ating mga guro, nawa ay maipadama natin ang
ating taos-pusong pasasalamat at pagkilala sa lahat ng sakripisyo at pagmamahal
na walang pag-aatubiling iginawad nila sa atin.
Mabuhay
ang lahat ng GURO sa mundo. Hangad namin ang lahat ng pagpapala at biyaya ng
Maykapal ngayon at sa bukas na darating… Mabuhay kayo!

Teaching profession is no doubt
demanding,
Exerted efforts are stretched for
learning,
Adequate tasks are time-consuming.
Cogent ways of educating might be
depressing, and
Hortative deadlines are absolutely
challenging;
Either way, their hard work will
be redeemed by
Revitalizing their learners'
dreams and
Stimulating them to gleam.
Articulate as they may seem,
Rich as they are famed,
Expert as they are named;
But behind those aesthetical
adjectives,
Repetitive tasks and school works
bear them aches,
Ailing their passionate hearts to
break.
Valiants in our modern world they
are heroes
Educators, teachers, moulders, and
mentors, they are called.

The
Supreme Student Council and Future Leaders of the Philippines of Capiz State
University – Pontevedra Campus organized the two-day leadership training with the
theme Paghanas: Strengthening Leadership
Success through Synergy amidst Divisive Society at Capiz State
University-Pontevedra, September 13-14.
"Convince your followers, not yourself, not
your superior, and not your professor, but your followers that you are worthy
of being followed. Always remember that leadership is about growing leaders. Your
position is just temporary. Sooner or later, you will be replaced with new
leaders thus, you have to walk your talk and serve with passion and commitment
and a strong sense of responsibility," Dr. Honey Lee E. Casa, the Campus
Administrator, pointed out during her opening remarks.
Participants
were randomly divided into seven groups called the unity squads to better
develop their leadership and collaboration skills. They were tasked to make
their unique cheers and yells and hand-made flags using water-based paints to
represent their unity squad.
Meanwhile,
Dr. Briddo V. Dorado, retired Professor of CapSU Pontevedra, who served as the first
speaker of the training, discussed the parliamentary procedure-- what it is all
about, how it is done, the different components, and the execution of its basic
classification.
Dr.
Harold O. Buenvenida, the second speaker, discussed stress management. He
encouraged participants to think in a much deeper sense about how they can
handle the pressure being thrown by their respective positions in the different
organizations they are connected with.
Mr.
John Rey Delos Santos, former FLP president, tackled ‘The 21st Century Leaders
Adopting New Normal' on the second day of the training.
The
team-building activity highlighted the event. With seven stations, the
leadership and team collaboration of each unity squad was tested and
strengthened. They have to think critically, plan purposively, and act
carefully to surpass and gain the highest points possible for each obstacle.
Participating
leaders were able to share their insights and reflections about the two-day
leadership training. Their takeaways will serve as their guide to effectively
function as student leaders.
Dr. Aleta Rose A. Onglatco, the Chair of the Office of Student Services, emphasized in her closing remarks that the true essence of leadership is to empower others to become leaders.

“Helping parents on their role as teachers in this time of pandemic makes them feel valued and guided. Giving them assistance and orienting them of the important roles they play as parents of students who are enrolled in the Special Program in Journalism will somehow enable them to be confident in the process of guiding and teaching their respective children. ”
On the other hand, Mrs. Ellen Aruba, 38, expressed her gratitude to all the prime movers and sponsors of the said event.
“Gapasalamat gid ako sa oportunidad nga ginhatag sa amon nga mga parents nga mangin part sang sini nga program. Madamo gid ako nahibaluan kag na-realize kon paano ko pa mas matutukan ang akon puya sa pag-eskwela kag matudluan sang maayo.

“Ang Feliciano Yusay Consing National High School ay lubos na nagpapasalamat sa CAPSU lalo na sa pamunuan ng CapSU Forum sa pagpili sa amin bilang recepient ng kanilang outreach program. Isang malaking hakbang ito upang matulungan ang ating mga magulang sa paggabay ng kanilang mga anak sa kanilang pag-aaral lalo na sa panahon ng pandemya. Nakita ko sa mga mata ng ating mga participants ang ligayang hindi kailanman matutumbasan ng pera dahil sa pagkakataong ito nabigyan sila ng pagkakataong makibahagi sa ating gampanin bilang tagapaghatid ng karunungan sa kanilang mga anak.” ”

The Philippines' first tropical cyclone for this year 2022 brought a tremendous strike to the province of Capiz. Tropical Depression (TD) Agaton (internationally known as Megi) reportedly claimed the lives of 19 individuals— with one still missing, as of writing; forced more than 250,000 residents to evacuate, incurred almost PHP176 million damages to agriculture, PHP500 million to fishery sector, and PHP59 million to infrastructures said PDRRM officer Judy Grace Pelaez. TD Agaton ravaged the province's 16 towns including its capital Roxas city with widespread, massive and perennial floodings—considered the worst experienced in the province in recent memory. But this is never strange, as our country is averagely visited by more or less 20 typhoons per year. Awareness begets safety. Thus, here are what we should consider in times of such wrath of nature:
BEFORE TYPHOON. According to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), before any storm, the public is advised to store an adequate supply of food and clean water. Prepare foods that need not be cooked. Keep flashlights, candles, and battery-powered radios within easy reach. Examine your house and repair its unstable parts. Always keep yourself updated with the latest weather report. Harvest crops that can be yielded already. Secure domesticated animals in a safe place. For fisher folk, place boats in a safe area. Should you need to evacuate, bring clothes, first aid kit, candles/flashlight, battery-powered radio, food, etc.
DURING TYPHOON. PRC reiterates that amid the storm everyone is advised to stay inside the house. Always keep yourself updated with the latest weather report. If safe drinking water is not available, boil water for at least 20 minutes. Place it in a container with a cover. Keep an eye on lighted candles or gas lamps. Do not wade through floodwaters to avoid being electrocuted, drowned, and contracting diseases. If there is a need to move to an evacuation center, follow these reminders: Evacuate calmly. Close the windows and turn off the main power switch. Put important appliances and belongings on high ground. Avoid the way leading to the river.
AFTER TYPHOON. Before returning home, wait for authorities to announce that it is safe to go back to your area. Keep away from dangers including structures with damages, fallen trees, and damaged power lines. Give way to rescue and emergency teams. Be extra careful when making repairs at home. Before switching the electricity on, make sure there are no wet or submerged outlets or appliances. Beware of dangerous animals such as snakes that may have entered your house. Check for possible breeding places for mosquitoes and remove rainwater.
Narrating these safety tips may sound cliché, yet it is worth nothing than saving the lives of your family. Safety doesn't happen by an accident—it is learned. Realizing the forestation tips may help minimize the untoward impacts of any future storms not only here in Capiz but also in all typhoon-prone areas in the Philippines.

Nanay
Kong Dakila
ni Charlie Mae Esimos
Bakit ko siya ikahihiya?
Dahil ba sa buhok niyang
nalalagas na
Dahil ba sa siya’y sadyang
tumataba na
O dahil sa kanyang balat na
nangingitim na?
Nilalakad ang kilo-kilometrong
palayan
Tinitiis ang tirik na init ng
haring araw
Gutom at uhaw man kanyang ipinagpapaliban
Makakita lang ng samo't saring
gulay na mapagkakakitaan.
Pagod at gutom ma’y patuloy
siyang lumalaban
Determinasyon ni ina ay magdamagang
umaapas
Tuhod man ay umaalog; mata man ay
nandidilim
Pagsisikap niya’y kita sa mga
sakong kaniyang pasan-pasan.
Iyan ang aking ina, isang hamak na
magsasaka,
Ngunit bakit ko nga ba siya
ikahihiya?
Kung iyan ang tanging kayang gawin
niya
Marangal na trabahong nagpapaaral
sa’ming mga anak niya.
Maaga mang pumanaw ang aking ama
Hindi namin alintana dahil
nariyan si ina;
Handang magsakripisyo’t ibuhos lahat
ng makakaya
NANAY kong isang MAGSASAKA, sa
amin siya’y tunay na dakila.

likha at gawa. Nais kong ikintal ng kabataan sa kanilang isip at itatak sa
kanilang puso na ang ating wika, kultura at panitikan ay siyang instrumento sa
