KAPWA sa UPLB, San Pablo City (2026)

11/09/2026

𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐠𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬! ♍️

𝐉𝐚𝐣𝐚 is a resident member who stops at nothing to achieve her goals never fails to inspire everyone. 🙂‍↔️

She has a lot of things that keep her driven. 💪🏻✨ If she sets her mind on something, you already know she’s going to get it done no matter what. 🌟 𝐉𝐚𝐣𝐚 loves talking about zodiac signs and reading how the stars will guide the path ahead, as any true favorite Virgo would! 🔮✨

Her hard work and focus are unmatched, her immune system just definetely needs a little extra backup and hopefully remembering to take her daily vitamins for once! 🍊✨

Happiest birthday, 𝐉𝐚𝐣𝐚! 🥳🎉 May your day be full of aligned stars and everything that makes you happy. KAPWA sa UPLB wishes you a very stardust-ful birthday! 💫💙💛

Ayen, the epitome of excellence,👏 is a devoted and a magnificent woman who never ceases to amaze us with her leadership and compassion.🦸‍♀️

When it comes to managing several tasks at once, Ayen is truly one of the best. She consistently gets things done on time, and always makes sure every detail is taken care of.📃 Her meticulous attention to detail and genuine dedication to her work are what truly make her stand out. But don’t let that serious and hardworking side fool you—Ayen is also a gamer at heart.🎮 Whether it’s Tetris or Call of Duty Mobile, she’s always ready to take on the challenge and, more often than not, come out on top. 🏆

This is Ayen—the wall that never crumbled, standing strong through every challenge, and the anchor that kept everything together even when things seemed to be falling apart. 💪 Her time in the position may have ended, but the strength and impact she left behind will always be remembered. 🙌

Happy birthday, Ayen! 🎂🎉 We truly appreciate everything you’ve done for the organization and the impact you’ve made on all of us. We’re grateful to have had you as someone we can look up to and learn from. 🌟 We hope your special day is filled with all the happiness and love you deserve. Just remember that your KAPWAtids will always be here to support you! Once again, happy birthday, Ayen! 💙💛

"Diwa ng Kabayanihan, Lakas ng Sambayanan", isinasabuhay o hanggang salita na lamang ba?

Nagkaroon ng paggunita ng Araw ng mga Bayani sa Libingan ng mga Bayani nitong Aug 31, 2026 sa pangunguna ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.. Nasabi ng ating pangulo na patuloy natin gunitain at alalahanin ang mga bayani ng nakaraan sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatuloy sa pagseserbisyo at pagsasabuhay ng kanilang pagmamahal sa ating bayan. Patuloy natin ginugunita ang mga bayani na nagsakripisyo para sa bayan natin noong unang panahon pero paano naman ang mga makabagong bayani ng kasalukuyan?

Marami pa ring manggagawang Pilipino ang araw-araw na kumakayod nang higit sa sapat, ngunit patuloy na pinagkakaitan ng sahod at benepisyong sapat upang mamuhay nang marangal. Sa panahon ng patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng pagkain, pamasahe, renta, at iba pang pangunahing pangangailangan, kahit maliit na dagdag sa kanilang kita ay kinakailangan pang ipaglaban.

Sa NCR, ang ₱85 na dagdag-sahod sa ilalim ng Wage Order No. 27 ay naharap pa sa pagsuspinde matapos itong pigilan ng Pasig Regional Trial Court—isang desisyong inapela ng Department of Labor and Employment hanggang sa Korte Suprema. Sa halagang para sa ilan ay tila maliit lamang, nakasalalay para sa maraming manggagawa ang dagdag na pagkain sa hapag, pamasahe pauwi, gamot, matrikula, at iba pang pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan ng kanilang pamilya.

Kung sila ang tinatawag nating mga “bagong bayani,” bakit kailangan pa nilang ipaglaban ang karapatang mabuhay nang disente?

Bilang mga kabataan, gamitin natin ang ating kaalaman, tinig, at social media upang magmulat at makiisa. Kaisa ang KAPWA sa UPLB sa paggunita ng mga bayaning lumaban para sa kalayaan noon, at sa mga makabagong bayaning patuloy na lumalaban ngayon.

Damhin ang tunay na diwa ng kabayanihan. Ipakita ang tunay na lakas ng sambayanang Pilipino!

Kapag binansagang “terorista” ang journalist dahil sa kritikal na ulat, hindi na ito simpleng disagreement—panunupil na ito.

Mariing kinokondena ng KAPWA sa UPLB ang paglalagay sa panganib ng mga mamamahayag. Sa ilalim ng Campus Journalism Act of 1991, dapat itaguyod at protektahan ang kalayaan ng pamamahayag kahit sa antas ng campus. Ayon sa 2025 report ng Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility, 184 media attacks ang naitala mula Hulyo 1, 2022 hanggang Abril 30, 2025—kabilang ang 48 kaso ng red-tagging at 78 na kinasasangkutan ng state actors.

Hindi salita lamang ang red-tagging, online targeting, at harassment. Lumilikha ang mga ito ng takot, nagtutulak sa self-censorship, at inilalayo ang publiko sa impormasyong kailangan upang magtanong at maningil ng pananagutan.

Ngayong National Press Freedom Day—ating panawagan na patuloy na tumindig laban sa panunupil at pagpapa tahimik sa ating mga mamamahayag. Itigil ang red-tagging, pagbabanta, at harassment; imbestigahan ang mga banta; panagutin ang mga nang-aabuso; at wakasan ang impunidad. Huwag tayong manahimik. Ang press freedom ay hindi pabor na maaaring bawiin ng nasa kapangyarihan—karapatan ito ng lahat.

Sa bisa ng Republic Act No. 11699 ay ipinagdiriwang tuwing ika-30 ng Agosto ang National Press Freedom Day bilang pagkilala kay Marcelo H. del Pilar.

“Alam mo ba na ang August 27 ay World Lake Day?”

Ngayong araw, nakikiisa ang Kapatirang Pitong Lawa sa UP Los Baños sa pandaigdigang panawagan para sa pangangalaga ng mga lawa at ng mga kabuhayang nakasalalay sa mga ito.

Sa San Pablo, Laguna, ang Sampaloc, Yambo, Pandin, Calibato, Palakpakin, Bunot, at Mohicap ay hindi lamang tanawin. Nagbibigay ang mga ito ng pagkain, kabuhayan, turismo, at tubig sa mga komunidad.

Sa tala ng lungsod noong 2013, may 408 rehistradong fish-cage farmers/operators sa Pitong Lawa, habang mahigit 1.3 milyong kilo ng isda ang naitala sa Sampaloc lamang.

Sa World Lake Day, alagaan natin ang Pitong Lawa dahil ang pagprotekta sa lawa ay pagprotekta sa buhay at kabuhayan ng San Pablo.
