Have you ever had the feeling of wanting to say the right words but failing to do so? As if the words were taken right out of your lips before you could even speak them, and you're left parched for words.

Writing comes as a solution, yet your hands fail to move, to come up with a sentence that could outweigh the heaviness of what you wanted to express.

And so, we found ourselves reaching for a camera, an object that molds exactly to our hands. A press, a click, a shutter. Those were all it took to capture the perfect image worthy of the message we wanted to share.

As artists, we look no further beyond a brush, a pen, a canvas; all perfect materials to form what lies deep within when words alone can't explain. Each stroke, color, and medium speaks in volume, transcending beyond mere technicalities and settling instead on emotional strums and beats, bound to capture the hearts of those who gaze.

Because when the mouth and words can't express, what we capture—and what we create—will.

As contributors from the DSSC Tudlok Visual Artists Guild, we take part in DSSC Chronicles’ first-ever Literary Folio, Apologue, where we showcase a creative array of images and artworks set to deliver their own message to the eyes of every viewer. Through lens and stroke, we capture moments and emotions—each piece carrying the weight of what it longs to declare.

Now, we invite you to decipher what is expressed as you feast your eyes on the masterpieces we offer in Apologue.

The DSSC Tudlok Visual Artists Guild successfully staged its Visual Arts Festival, bringing together its very own Tudlok members and talented students from various colleges in a vibrant celebration of creativity. The event became a canvas of intricate artistry, burning passion, and unwavering determination, as participants poured their skills and imagination into every masterpiece they created.

The festival’s success was made possible through the dedicated leadership of Tudlok Adviser Cherry B. Corpin and Co-Adviser Jones Lyndon C. Damo, alongside the Tudlok officers and members led by organization president, Era Mae M. Palanca. Together, they carefully crafted seven dynamic competition categories: Photography Walk, Digital Drawing, Pencil Drawing, Charcoal Rendering, Coffee Painting, On-the-Spot Poster Making, and In Situ Painting, each designed to challenge, inspire, and highlight diverse artistic talents.

The event was also graced by Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Siverlyn M. Camposano, Ph.D., DSSC Culture and Arts Coordinator Sir Jenie Philip Saniel, and former Tudlok President Sir Vincent Paul B. Regidor, who expressed their strong support and appreciation for this meaningful creative initiative. Their presence further affirmed the importance of nurturing the arts within the academic community.

More than just a competition, the Visual Arts Festival became a powerful reminder that art is alive within DSSC, thriving in every stroke, shade, and snapshot. As the festival concluded, it left not only awards and recognitions, but also inspiration, strengthened camaraderie, and a renewed commitment to continue cultivating creativity on campus and beyond.

The Tudlok Visual Artists Guild of Davao del Sur State College, together with the Davao del Sur Art League, joined the celebration of National Arts Month 2026 on February 16, 2026, at the Provincial Museum located at the Douglas R.A. Cagas Sports and Business Center in Barangay Matti, Digos City. The guild participated as one of the invited organizations and served as the official documentation team for the event, upon invitation of the Provincial Tourism Development and Culture Promotions Office.

This year’s celebration carries the theme “ANI ng SINING: Katotohanan at Giting.” The opening activity gathered artists, cultural workers, educators, and stakeholders from different parts of the province. The event marks the start of a series of activities scheduled throughout February, including an arts exhibit and bazaar, live sketching and painting sessions, and performances featuring artists from across Davao del Sur.

Governor Yvonne Roña Cagas attended the opening program and recognized the local groups and artists present in the event. In her message, the province's various cultural expressions must receive acknowledgment because they serve as vital components for developing local tourism. The Provincial Museum plans to increase its collection by acquiring new artifacts and artworks from different sources.
The activity confirmed backing for community artists and cultural workers who help maintain the cultural traditions of the province. DSSC Tudlok participated in the event, helping to showcase the artistic and cultural heritage of the province.
