Today, we commemorate the 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆 — a reminder of the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering spirit of Filipinos who fought for the freedom we enjoy today.

More than a celebration of our past, this day is a call to continue protecting the values our heroes stood for: truth, justice, democracy, and service to the people. As Iskolar ng Bayan, may we never forget that freedom thrives when voices are heard, stories are told, and truth is defended. ✒️🔥

As we raise our flags and honor our history, let us also look forward with hope — committed to building a nation that our heroes once dreamed of.

‎Sa pagpasok sa ating Sintang Paaralan, hindi lamang pisikal na katawan ang dapat ihanda maging ang tatag ng kalooban at paninindigan upang maging bukas sa mga bagong perspektibo.
‎
‎Sa kasalukuyang estado ng pamantasan, salat na badyet, limitadong mga pasilidad, mainit na mga silid-aralan dahil sa kakulangan ng maayos na bentilasyon, burukratikong proseso ng mga papeles at marami pang dahilan upang gisingin ang iyong muwang sa reyalidad ng lipunan at kung paano nito naaapektuhan ang mga pamantasan.
‎
‎Hindi ito upang magtiis o magsawalang kibo, ito'y upang matutong lumaban para sa serbisyong dapat ating tinatamasa. Pagpasok mo sa pamantasan, tuturuan ka nito hindi lamang ng mga literatura kundi upang tumayo sa'yong mga paa at makibaka para sa ating mga karapatan.
‎
‎Malaki ang tungkulin ng isang Iskolar ng Bayan at hindi ito upang umatras, kundi para gamitin sa pagpapakahusay para mapaglingkuran ang masa.

𝐋𝐚𝐠𝐢'𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐢 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐬𝐚'𝐲𝐨, 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐬𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧.✊🏼
