They were once dreamers—and now, they inspire dreamers all around the world. ✨

It takes heart, knowledge, and skills—indeed—to effectively educate learners. As a noble profession, their duty extends beyond imparting knowledge and nurturing wisdom to the students in the four corners of the classroom or in the halls of the school institution; they are also passion igniters, dream inspirers, change-makers, and future designers. 📚💡Their pivotal and transformative contributions in society and in the world as whole cannot be described and enumerated using words, as they are as countless as the stars that light up the night sky—and just like the stars, they shine through our lives by helping us realize our dreams and aspirations. 💫

They are loving second parents and passionate nurturers. Teaching is not just their profession—teaching is their vocation. Teaching is their life. 🫀🤗

They were once students but forever learners. And now they continue to inspire young minds and shape burning hearts. 💞

They are Teachers. They are Educators. And today we celebrate them for teaching us how to become a better person and build a better world for all. 📚🌍

Happy World Teachers’ Day to all educators and future ones around the globe! 👨‍🏫👩‍🏫🫶✨

Today, August 21st, we commemorate the life and sacrifice of Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., a vocal critic of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.’s authoritarian rule, who tirelessly advocated for democratic reforms and human rights.

On this day in 1983, Ninoy Aquino Jr.’s life was tragically cut short by an assassination that sparked widespread outrage and mobilized the 1986 People Power Revolution, which ultimately led to the downfall of Marcos Sr.’s regime.

Pursuant to Republic Act No. 9256, signed into law by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on February 25, 2004, August 21 of every year is declared Ninoy Aquino Day—a special nonworking holiday—in recognition of his courageous stand against the Marcos regime and his ultimate sacrifice for the country.

As we pay tribute to Ninoy Aquino’s life and legacy, let us recommit ourselves to upholding the values of freedom, justice, and democracy that he fought for. May his sacrifice continue to inspire us to stand up for our rights and strive for a better future for all Filipinos. ✨

Ginugunita at ipinagdiriwang ngayong buwan ng Agosto ang kahalagahan at kasaganahan ng Wikang Katutubo at Wikang Filipino. 🌠

May temang “Paglinang sa Filipino at Katutubong Wika: Makasaysayan sa Pagkakaisa ng Bansa”— inaanyayahan ang bawat Pilipino na patuloy na kilalanin, pagyabungin, at linangin ang wikang sariling atin—wikang mapagpalaya, wikang mapagkaisa. 🌀

Susi sa matagumpay na pakikipag-kapwa at pakikipagtalastasan, ang Wikang Filipino at Katutubo ay sumisimbolo sa ating pagkakakilanlan—nararapat na gamitin, kilalanin, tuklasin, patuloy na isalin, at bigyang pagpapahalaga tungo sa bansang may pagkakaisa.🌟

ALPAS LAYAG has officially received its certification from the National Youth Commission (NYC) through LYDO Pioduran, formally establishing its status as a registered youth organization under the Youth Organization Registration Program (YORP) at the community level.
