“𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽"

In every institution—whether in schools, organizations, or communities—positions are given to individuals who are expected to lead, inspire, and serve. A title is not merely a label attached to a name; it carries responsibility, accountability, and the expectation of exemplary conduct. Yet, there are instances when the title someone holds does not reflect in their actions, attitude, or behavior.

A position should represent the character of the person who holds it. Leadership demands integrity, humility, and a sincere commitment to the people one serves. Unfortunately, some individuals treat their positions as a symbol of privilege rather than a platform for service. They become overly entitled, believing that the title itself is enough to command respect. In reality, respect is not demanded—it is earned through consistent actions and responsible leadership.

Even more concerning is when individuals in positions refuse to embrace the responsibilities that come with their role. Rather than accepting work assignments and contributing to the improvement of the organization, they choose to remain in their comfort zone. They avoid challenges, resist additional responsibilities, and pass tasks to others who are willing to do the work they refuse to undertake. Such behavior reflects not leadership but indifference.

An entitled leader often becomes insensitive to the needs of the organization and the people within it. While others strive and exert effort for progress and development, these individuals remain passive observers, benefiting from a title they scarcely deserve. Their unwillingness to act, to contribute, or even to acknowledge the burden they place on others slowly erodes the spirit of teamwork and shared responsibility.

When someone clings to authority but fails to embody the values that the position represents, the title becomes hollow. Positions without accountability creates a gap between what is expected and what is practiced. A leader who cannot demonstrate discipline, fairness, professionalism, and dedication weakens not only their own credibility but also the trust of the people they are meant to lead.

True leadership is reflected in everyday actions—how a person treats others, how they respond to challenges, and how they carry themselves even when no one is watching. A position should elevate a person's sense of duty, not inflate their sense of entitlement. Those who hold titles must remember that their behavior sets the tone for the entire community.

In the end, a position alone does not define a leader. It is character that gives meaning to the title. Without integrity, humility, responsibility, and a willingness to serve, a position becomes nothing more than a word—empty, powerless, and undeserving of the respect it demands.

Because leadership is not proven by the title one holds, but by the example one sets.

"𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡"

Behind every successful school are individuals whose names are rarely mentioned, whose efforts are seldom applauded, and whose sacrifices often remain unnoticed. They are the employees who work quietly in the background — consistently giving their time, energy, and dedication for the good of the institution without expecting recognition in return.

There is always someone in every school who goes beyond what is required. This person arrives early, stays late, and willingly takes responsibility whenever help is needed. When programs are organized, they work behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly. When problems arise, they step forward even when the task falls outside their official duties. To many, their work appears ordinary, yet in reality, they serve as one of the strongest foundations supporting the daily life of the school.

The unfortunate truth is that such dedication often goes unnoticed. Recognition is frequently given to those in visible roles or positions of authority — to achievements that are easily measured and publicly displayed. Meanwhile, the silent contributors remain in the shadows, not because their efforts are small, but because their sacrifices are less visible.

What makes their commitment even more admirable is the balance they must maintain beyond the workplace. They carry personal responsibilities, attend to family needs, and navigate their own relationships and struggles. Despite these challenges, they continue to give more than what is expected, proving that genuine service is defined not by titles but by sincerity and commitment.

The absence of recognition is more than a missed compliment; it reflects how institutions value their people. When dedication is consistently overlooked, motivation slowly fades, and individuals begin to feel invisible despite their significant contributions. A school that fails to acknowledge its silent workers risks losing the very spirit that sustains it, because institutions thrive not only through policies and systems but through the people who keep them alive every day.

Recognition does not always require grand awards or ceremonies. Sometimes, a simple expression of gratitude, public acknowledgment, or sincere appreciation is enough to affirm that their work matters. Recognition reminds individuals that their efforts are seen and valued.

In the end, the true heroes of a school are not only those who stand under the spotlight but also those who continue to serve faithfully without applause. They are the unseen pillars — quietly strong, deeply committed, and essential to the growth and success of the institution.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺

In every struggling system, there is always a voice that rises above the noise — a voice that points fingers, exposes flaws, and demands change. At first glance, such a person appears courageous, even heroic. They speak the language of reform, accountability, and progress. They highlight corruption, inefficiency, and injustice with conviction. Yet sometimes, the most unsettling truth is this: the loudest critic of the system may also be one of its strongest enablers.

He speaks passionately about transparency, yet decisions under his authority remain unclear. He condemns incompetence, yet tolerates mediocrity among those within his circle. He calls for responsibility, but accountability seems to stop where his own actions begin. The contradiction is subtle but persistent — a cycle where criticism becomes performance rather than genuine reform.

The public often applauds individuals who expose systemic problems. After all, recognizing flaws is the first step toward change. However, recognition without self-reflection turns advocacy into hypocrisy. It is easy to diagnose what is wrong when the blame lies elsewhere; it is far more difficult to admit one’s own participation in sustaining the very dysfunction being criticized.

The system does not fail overnight. It erodes slowly through tolerated shortcuts, selective enforcement of rules, and the quiet normalization of convenience over integrity. Ironically, those who benefit from these small compromises are often the same individuals who later denounce the system’s decay. By separating themselves from responsibility, they create the illusion that the problem exists only outside them — never within.

This pattern reveals a deeper issue: systems are not abstract machines operating on their own. They are shaped by people, decisions, and daily choices. When someone condemns corruption but practices favoritism, or demands fairness while exercising privilege, the criticism loses moral weight. Reform cannot grow from selective principles.

The danger lies in how persuasive such figures can be. Their words resonate because the problems they describe are real. Citizens recognize the truth in their complaints and rally behind them, hoping for transformation. Yet when leadership lacks self-awareness, criticism becomes a shield rather than a solution — a way to redirect attention instead of accepting responsibility.

True reform begins not with louder accusations but with personal accountability. A genuine reformer does not merely expose what is broken; they examine how their own actions may contribute to the fracture. Change requires consistency between words and behavior, between public statements and private decisions.

The system remains broken not only because of those who openly abuse it, but also because of those who condemn it while quietly sustaining it. Progress demands more than criticism; it demands courage — the courage to admit, “I am part of the problem, and therefore I must be part of the solution.”

Until that happens, the loudest critic may continue to gain applause, while the system he condemns remains unchanged — echoing with speeches about reform but untouched by real transformation.

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞: 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲, 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲

“𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓻𝓪𝓲𝓷 𝓶𝓪𝔂 𝓫𝓮 𝓵𝓸𝓾𝓭, 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓹𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝓲𝓼 𝓵𝓸𝓾𝓭𝓮𝓻.”
Despite the unexpected downpour, participants did not hesitate to lace up their shoes and run with their hearts. On February 13, 2026, students, teachers, and other participants gathered for the much-anticipated Love Run, a fundraising fun run and cleanup drive held in celebration of Valentine’s Day.

Raindrops fell steadily, soaking shirts and shoes, but they only seemed to fuel the excitement. The race led participants to the breathtaking Cabusao Wetland, where the finish line awaited with a venue that was refreshing through the sight of leaves glistening under beads of rainwater. More than just a fundraising event, Love Run carried a deeper mission--to let learners be aware of the significance of Wetlands and to help conserve natural habitat of different animal species.

The success of this fund raising event is all because of the invaluable support of 𝐇𝐨𝐧. 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐫 𝐉ose Gil 𝐀𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐉𝐫., together with 𝐋𝐆𝐔 𝐂𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐍𝐏 𝐂𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐨, and of course through our School Principal, 𝐌𝐚’𝐚𝐦 𝐍𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚 𝐋. 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐨. It is also through the support and presence of 𝐌𝐚’𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐞 𝐋. 𝐓𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐚,
Head Teacher-III, together with 𝗠𝗮’𝗮𝗺 𝗚𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶 𝗣𝗮𝗷𝗲, DRRM Club Adviser, 𝐌𝐚’𝐚𝐦 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐲, 𝐌𝐚’𝐚𝐦 𝐈𝐯𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚’𝐚𝐦 𝐇𝐚𝐳𝐞𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐲.

Barcelonita Fisheries School especially extends their heartfelt gratitude to 𝐒𝐢𝐫 𝐀𝐛𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐚, Community Affairs Assistant III and Designate Municipal Tourism Officer and to 𝐄𝐧𝐠. 𝐉𝐨𝐞𝐲 𝐓. 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 for their unwavering support in the conduct of the activity and for enlightening the participants about the significance of Cabusao Wetland and all Wetlands in General.

And of course, Love Run would not be possible if not for the cooperation and participation of all the students, teachers, and help of TI Emcees Ma’am Julie Ann Pastoral and Ma’am Cristina Elarde, and clubs/organizations lead by BFS SSLG and 𝐌𝐚’𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐝 who pursued to carry the purpose despite the weather.

In the end, Love Run was not only about reaching the finish line. It was about running for a cause, standing together in the rain, and celebrating Valentine’s Day with hearts committed to both community and conservation. This event served as proof that 𝓑𝓕𝓢𝓲𝓪𝓷𝓼 𝓭𝓸𝓷’𝓽 𝔀𝓪𝓲𝓽 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓼𝓾𝓷𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓮, 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝔂 𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓮 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓻𝓪𝓲𝓷, 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓹𝓪𝓽𝓱 𝓰𝓮𝓽𝓼 𝓶𝓾𝓭𝓭𝔂, 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝔂 𝔀𝓲𝓵𝓵 𝓼𝓾𝓻𝓮𝓵𝔂 𝓻𝓾𝓷 𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓭𝓮𝓻.🩷❤️

𝙇𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠: 𝙑𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙩 𝘿𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙨 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 2025

From November 25 to 27, 2025, Milaor, Camarines Sur, became a lively center of ideas and creativity as it hosted the 2025 Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC). The event took place at Milaor Central School and Milaor National High School, bringing together student journalists from different schools. All aimed for one goal: to speak the voice of the unheard.

With the theme “Connected and Empowered: Filipino Youth Leading Campus Journalism with Truth, Democracy, and Digital Responsibility” the conference highlighted the growing role of student journalists in today’s fast-changing world. It emphasized how young writers, artists, and broadcasters were not only storytellers but also responsible voices in promoting truth, democratic values, and digital awareness.

During the three-day event, campuses were filled with energy and anticipation. Students arrived prepared and eager, facing challenges that tested their creativity, discipline, and perseverance.

Among the participants was Nicole Ann Belardo, a proud student of Barcelonita Fisheries School and a silver medalist in the CSPC 2025, she competed in the field of editorial cartooning in English. Through her artwork, she used visual storytelling to express opinions on relevant social and educational issues. Her participation reflected the power of cartoons in journalism—how a single image can speak loudly, spark a thought, and create a dialogue without the need for any words.

For Nicole and many other contestants, DSPC was more than a competition. It was an opportunity to grow, to learn from both victory and challenge, and to represent their schools with pride. Each submitted output was the result of hard work, preparation, and belief in one’s voice.

Beyond the contests, DSPC created meaningful connections. Students met fellow journalists who shared their passion, teachers quietly guided from the sidelines, and friendships formed in hallways and waiting areas. The experience reminded everyone that campus journalism is not about competing against one another, but about standing together for truth and responsible communication.

As the 2025 DSPC came to a close, participants left Milaor not only with certificates and memories but also with a renewed sense of purpose. They returned to their schools more confident, more aware, and more empowered to lead campus journalism in their own ways.

Indeed, the 2025 DSPC proved that when student journalists are connected and empowered, they became strong voices of democracy, ready to respond, create, and inspire in both print and digital spaces.

HI THERE, ASPIRING JOURNALISTS!

The screening is just around the corner, here's a few tips for those who will be working on 𝙀𝘿𝙄𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙄𝘼𝙇 𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙊𝙊𝙉 for the screening. The purpose of this is to inform you and to help you get a grasp of what you are supposed to draw during the screening.

𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 — artists have their styles in illustrating, some are great in realistic style (hyper realism) and some in anime style. In journalism we make use of cartoon style or Caricature. 𝙀𝙭𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙬⬇️⬇️

If you are not yet familiar with Caricature style, this is your chance to try. Remember that during the screening, we will not be judging by how realistic the drawing is but we will be expecting to see a cartoon-style.

🔹️ Cartoon 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 with coloring materials. Only pencil will do.

🔹️𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀/𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 is significant in helping the readers or viewers understand the meaning of the drawing and for it to look lively despite being in monochrome.

🔹️Cartoon is 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 (the body proportions, strokes, and shapes) It only has to convey meaning.

🔹️Cartoon is 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙮 or humorous since it is for entertainment.

🔹️Cartoon 𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙪𝙚𝙨
(be it in the society, nation, or worldwide).

🔹️𝙐𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (elements) (e.g. crocodile for corruption, Juan for Filipinos, pencil for students, etc.)

🔹️𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨. It is not poster making ^^, two to three elements in the drawing (with meaning) will do.

I hope that these information will help you be guided during the screening. See you there! For more queries, you may message our page or directly message Nicole Ann Belardo and Zyrelle Anne.
