𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 | Earthquakes can happen anytime; thus, it is important to be prepared. During an earthquake, stay calm, avoid panicking, and remember to 𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽, 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿, and 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗢𝗻. Stay away from windows, cabinets, and other heavy objects that may fall.

After the shaking stops, carefully evacuate to a safe open area, check yourself and others for injuries, and remain vigilant for possible aftershocks.

Safety begins with awareness—𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱, 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹.

Behind every story that matters is a voice brave enough to rise above silence.

When students choose to write and speak with purpose, no amount of fear can ever conceal the truth within them.

For in a world where many choose to look away, journalism begins with those willing to witness reality—and courageous enough to tell its story.

𝗛𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝗺𝘂𝗯𝘂𝗼 𝘀𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗴, 𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗮 𝗶𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗮 𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗮 𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻.

Habang marami ang naaakit sa huwad na kinang at madaling paniniwala, ang mga kabataang handang tumindig sa katotohanan ang siyang nagdadala ng liwanag na hindi nabibili, hindi napapawi, at lalong hindi napapatahimik.

Nawa’y patuloy na yayagpag ang mga tinig na hindi natitinag, na handang ipaglaban ang tama.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 - 𝗔𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻 is now opening its doors to a new generation of thinkers, writers, and visionaries.

This is more than an invitation—it is a call to speak truth worth hearing, to uncover what lies beyond what is seen, and to capture the spirit of Guimbal National High School.

We are looking for individuals who are not only talented, but also curious, vigilant, and courageous enough to share stories with purpose. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲—𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

As a new academic year arrives, The Highlights - Ang Maguayan 2025-2026 extends its deepest gratitude to all who have been part of this journey. Through every trial endured and every milestone attained, your trust, support, and belief in our mission stood as the quiet force behind our pursuit of responsible and meaningful journalism. What we have achieved was never the effort of a few, but the work of a community united by a steadfast commitment to truth, excellence, and service.

To our readers, mentors, and partners, thank you for standing with us in every season and for allowing our work to reach beyond the page—to inform, to inspire, and to endure. Your encouragement challenged us to raise our standards, refine our craft, and remain unwavering in our duty to produce journalism that bears weight and purpose.

As we turn the page, we remain resolute in our mission: to amplify voices that must be heard, to bring to light stories that must be told, and to uphold truth with courage, integrity, and compassion. Though our tenure concludes, the principles we upheld and the stories we carried will not end with us. They will persist, carried forward in the work of those who continue this responsibility.

All things, in time, reach their close; yet few endings are ever truly final. More often, they signal the beginning of continuity under new hands.

Pormal na sinimulan ng Guimbal National High School ang taong panuruan 2026–2027 sa pamamagitan ng pagsasagawa ng unang flag ceremony na ginanap sa Megagym nitong Lunes, Hunyo 8.

Nagsimula ang programa sa assembly at formation ng mga g**o, mag-aaral, at kawani ng paaralan.

Binigyang-diin din sa programa ang pagpapakita ng pagmamahal sa bayan sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang panunumpa.

Isa sa tampok ng programa ang mensahe ni School Principal III, Dr. Zaldy M. Tondo na humikayat sa mga mag-aaral na pairalin ang disiplina, kasipagan, at determinasyon sa kanilang pag-aaral ngayong taong panuruan.

“First of all, we have our Brigada Eskwela pero I know we still have to prepare our school, prior to that we still have to teachers for all learning reforms or learning system reforms of the DepEd: we oriented our teachers on the three-term calendar, changes in the lesson planning. Also the changes on the classroom assessment and grading system, as well with the awards of recognition and the Strengthen Senior High School. We also have the new policy of the DepEd — declaring the suspension of classes and how education continues of classes during emergencies,” giit pa niya.

Dagdag pa niya, “We will intensify our advocacies and our information dissemination with our students through the general orientation this week for the opening block.”

Nagbigay rin ng mensahe ng suporta si G. Rodolfo J. Talisay Jr., pangulo ng SPTA para sa buong komunidad ng paaralan.

Samantala, ibinahagi ni Assistant School Principal II Senior High School Department, Sir Alex N. Suerte ang mga paalala at anunsyo upang matiyak ang maayos at organisadong pagbubukas ng klase.

Bilang pagtatapos ng programa, nakiisa ang mga mag-aaral at g**o sa wellness exercise at unity dance na pinangunahan ni G. Andre Dane Damgo upang maisulong ang pagkakaisa, kalusugan, at sigla sa pagsisimula ng panibagong taon ng pagkatuto.

Ang matagumpay na pagsasagawa ng unang flag ceremony ay naging hudyat ng masigla at makabuluhang pagsisimula ng School Year 2026–2027 para sa buong komunidad ng Guimbal NHS.
