Tinatayang maaaring makalikha ang proyekto ng mahigit 130,000 trabaho at makaakit ng $40 hanggang $70 bilyong pamumuhunan kapag ganap na itong nadebelop. Pero tandaan, mga pagtataya pa lamang ang mga ito. Hindi pa garantiya na lahat ng benepisyo ay direktang mararamdaman ng mga Pilipino. Maaaring dumami ang trabaho at negosyo, pero dapat may sapat na pagkakataon ang mga Pilipino na mapabilang dito. Hindi sapat na may bagong teknolohiya kung kakaunti lamang ang may kakayahang gamitin ito. Kailangan ding magkaroon ng training at oportunidad para sa mga lokal na manggagawa upang matuto at makasabay sa mga bagong skills na kakailanganin. Sa ganitong paraan, hindi lang mga dayuhang kumpanya ang makikinabang, kundi pati ang mga Pilipinong manggagawa. Mahalaga rin ang pagiging malinaw at responsable sa pagpapatupad ng proyekto. Dapat alam ng publiko kung ano ang mga plano, gaano kalaki ang pamumuhunan, at ano ang magiging epekto nito sa mga tao at sa kalikasan. Hindi sapat na sabihin na magdadala ito ng malaking investment. Dapat makita rin kung paano mapapakinabangan ng bansa ang investment na iyon. Hindi naman masama ang pagtanggap ng foreign investment. Maaari itong makatulong sa ekonomiya at sa pag-unlad ng teknolohiya sa Pilipinas. At dito pumapasok ang mas mahalagang tanong: Sino ba talaga ang makikinabang?

EDITORIAL1FLOOD CONTROL:Saan Napunta ang Pondo?Art Angel Michael GajopolMahigit dalawang taon na ang nakalilipas nang magsimulang umingay ang isyu tungkol sa mga flood control project. Lalong naging kapansin-pansin ang mga problemang kaugnay nito nang makaranas ng malawakang pagbaha ang iba’t ibang bahagi ng bansa. Sa gitna ng lahat ng ito, isang tanong ang patuloy na bumabagabag sa mga mamamayan: Sino ang mananagot? Para sa amin, ang sinumang mapatunayang lumabag sa batas ay dapat managot at maparusahan. Ang pamahalaan naman ay kailangang maging patas, transparent, at responsable sa bawat antas ng pamumuno. Hindi biro ang pondong inilaan para sa mga proyektong dapat sana ay nagsisilbing pananggalang ng mga Pilipino laban sa pagbaha. Ngunit paano kung ang pondong inilaan para sa kaligtasan ng mamamayan ay mauuwi lamang sa bulsa ng iilan? Ayon sa mga ulat at pahayag na lumabas kaugnay ng isyu, bilyun-bilyong piso ang sinasabing nasasayang o nawawala dahil sa mga kuwestiyonableng proyekto. May mga proyektong sinasabing hindi natapos, hindi makita, o umiiral lamang sa dokumento. Kung totoo ang mga alegasyong ito, hindi lamang pera ang ninanakaw—pati ang seguridad at tiwala ng mga Pilipino. Sa bawat malakas na pag-ulan, may mga pamilyang nangangamba. May mga tahanang nilalamon ng baha, mga kabuhayang nasisira, at mga mamamayang nahihirapang makabangon. Habang ang ordinaryong Pilipino ay nagsisikap na mabuhay, hindi makatarungang may ilang nagpapakasasa sa perang dapat sana ay ginagamit para sa kapakanan ng lahat. Malinaw ang layunin ng flood control projects: protektahan ang buhay, ari-arian, at kabuhayan ng mga mamamayan. Ngunit kung ang mga proyektong ito ay hindi maayos na naipatutupad dahil sa korapsyon, kabiguan na rin ito sa responsibilidad ng pamahalaan.Hindi sapat ang mga imbestigasyon, pagdinig, at paglalabas ng mga dokumento kung walang tunay na pananagutan. Kailangang mapatunayan ang mga alegasyon sa pamamagitan ng masusing imbestigasyon at due process. Ang sinumang mapatunayang sangkot sa katiwalian—contractor man, opisyal, o politiko—ay dapat managot sa ilalim ng batas.Hindi rin dapat maging sandata ang kapangyarihan upang makaiwas sa pananagutan. Ang batas ay dapat pantay para sa lahat. Walang posisyon, pangalan, o impluwensiya ang dapat maging panangga laban sa hustisya. Kaya naman, ang panawagan namin ay simple: Ipakita ang resibo. Ipakita kung saan napunta ang pera ng bayan. Sa Department of Public Works and Highways at sa iba pang ahensiyang may pananagutan sa mga proyektong ito, unahin ang kapakanan ng mamamayan, hindi ang pansariling interes. Maging tapat sa bawat kontrata, malinaw sa bawat gastusin, at responsable sa bawat proyektong ipinapangakong magliligtas ng buhay. Sa huli, ang pera ng bayan ay dapat gamitin sa tama—hindi sa pansariling bulsa. Dugo at pawis ang kapalit ng bawat buwis na ibinabayad ng mga Pilipino. Kaya nararapat lamang na ang perang ito ay mapunta sa mga serbisyong tunay na kailangan ng mamamayan. Ang mga nasa pamahalaan ay iniluklok upang maglingkod, hindi upang magnakaw. Wala sila sa kanilang puwesto kung wala ang tiwala at boto ng mga Pilipino. Kaya ang tanong ay nananatili: Flood control ang proyekto, ngunit kung ang pondo ay nilamon ng korapsyon, saan na lang pupulutin ang mga Pilipino?umuhos ang malakas na ulan, at kasabay nito ang paglalantad ng mga alegasyon ng katiwalian sa mga proyektong pinondohan mula sa kaban ng bayan.B

FEATURE6Sa bagong taon ng pag aaral, ay simula ng isang bagong yugto, bagong pintuang bukas para sa pagbabago, bagong pamumuno na mamamahala sa seguridad ng kinabukasan, at mga bagong atletang simbolismo ng pagiging matatag sa bawat laban ng buhay. Tila isang kabanatang isinusulat ng mga estudyanteng ang nais ay makamtam ang pangarap, ang pangarap na makapag lingkod at maipakita ang talento sa kani-kanilang larangan, ngunit ito pa lamang ang simula ng kwento ng iba't ibang pangarap. Makukulay na ilaw, at iba't ibang pag kain ang nakahanda sa pagsisimula ng seremonyang magtatatag ng bagong administaryon at bagong kampyon sa sports, tunay ngang mapapayo ang pagod kapag tagumpay na ang yumakap sa'yo. Sa kalagitnaan ng programa, ay ang simula ng bawat panata ng mga bagong pinuno, buong pagmamalaking binibigkas ang mga salitang tuluyan nang mag bibigay sa kanila ng responsibilidad na dala nila hanggang sa dulo ng taong ito, isang tungkuling ipinagkaloob sa kanila ng mga kapwa estudyante. Kasabay ng panata ng mga estudyante, ay ang pag anunsyo ng kampyon sa sports. Talentong patunay na hindi hadlang sa pangarap ang mga aktibidad na makakapag dala ng saya sa mag aaral, taas-noo habang tinatanggap ang medalyang pagod ang puhunan na hindi matutumbasan ng kahit anong bagay pa. Sa pag tanggap ng sertipiko, hindi lamang pagkapanalo ang tanging sinisimbulo, kundi ang mag aaral na buong tapang na nag sakripisyo ng oras upang mapatunayan ang talento, sagisag ito ng disiplina sa sarili at pagiging matapang sa labang haharapin sa larangan ng sports at buhay. Buong pagmamalaki kung ipagdiwang ng mga bagong pinuno at atletang kampyon ang gabi ng pagtatalaga. Tunay ngang sa bawat simula ay isang pagtatapos ng nakaraang administrasyon at atletang kampyon, at pagtatapos ay isang simula sa mga bagong pinuno at atletang may dalang pag asa, at sagisag ng pangarap. tle bit of body textSimula ng Bagong Yugto:Induction of Students and Victory PartyJanella Mae Floresca Stakeholders/ Donors :Mga Kamay sa Likod ng Pag – asaKhim Phoebe CabarrubiasHindi lahat ng bayani ay nakasuot ng kapa.

May mga tagasuporta na nag aabot ng tulong at katuwang na nag lalaan ng oras, kaalaman, at suporta. Sa paningin ng iba maaring maliit ang kanilang binibigay. Ngunit para sa mga taong tumatanggap nito, maaari itong maging binhing sisibol bilang pag-asa. Ang mga tagapagbigay ay parang lunas sa sugat. Sa kanilang tulong mag hihilom ang mga sugatan.

At sa likod ng bawat matagumpay na proyekto ay may mga kamay na hindi nag hahanap ng papuri, mga kamay na tahimik na nag bibigay, ngunit malakas na humuhubog sa kinabukasan.

PAX SILICAPAX SILICASCI-TECH8Pax Silica is more than just a story about a mineral. For too long, we have looked at our natural resources simply as things to take from the earth. But what if we looked at them differently? What if every resource became an opportunity to discover, invent, and create? The Philippines is abundant in natural resources, including the so called silica. Yet, having resources is different from knowing how to fully use it. While other countries across the globe invent raw materials into modernized products, the Philippines is still in the edge of challenges in strengthening it's own industries and technological capabilities. The problem is not simply the lack of resources. The bigger problem is the lost of potential and and lack of support. If we only extract and sell raw materials while importing High value finished products, we allow materials with greater value that may have come from a country with a high natural consistency of resources like our country. Silica is considered as a big contributor interms of technological advancement. It can be used in different ways, making it valuable in different sectors that rely on advanced materials. This shows that silica is not just part of the ground we stand, it can also be part of the vast world of science and innovation. The potential lies in the gaps we still need to overcome. Limited processing facilities, insufficient investment in research, lack of advanced technology, and the need for stronger cooperation among citizens, institutions, scientist, and the government. Natural resources alone cannot create progress, knowledge does, innovation does, people do. The Philippines must invest not only in extracting resources but also in understanding, improving, transforming, and citizens approval. Our country needs support for scientific research, technology, education, responsible industries, and environmental protection can help turn potential into real progress. This responsibility does not belong only to engineers, scientist, government leaders. It also begins with us the new generation and students. We are the generation growing up in a world shaped by technology and modernized innovations. The questions we ask today, the skills we develop, and the problems we choose to solve may determine what the Philippines becomes tomorrow. The Philippines does not need to wait for the future to arrive. We have the resources. We have the minds. Now, we need the courage to build.PAX SILICA:Don’t Just Dig the Future, Build ItRean Jared Samante President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. stands in support of Pax Silica because he believes that it can create employment, strengthen Philippine industries, and help revive the economy. He sees the planned industrial hub as an opportunity for the country to become part of the global artificial intelligence and technology value chain. As President Marcos stated, "It will bring quality jobs to our people, accelerate our industrial competitiveness, and revitalize our economy." His position shows the government's intention to use Pax Silica not only to attract investment but also to develop the country's technological and manufacturing capabilities. "It will bring quality jobs to our people, accelerate our industrial competitivene ss, and revitalize our economy."-PRESIDENT MARCOS
