Gender and Development - Deparo High School Official, Caloocan (2026)

19/04/2025

This is it. The moment we say goodbye.

To the Gender and Development (GAD) Batch 2024–2025 — this is our final bow. We walked into this journey unsure of what to expect, unaware of the impact it would leave on us. But now, as we close this chapter, we carry with us stories, laughter, lessons, and memories that will echo far beyond these walls.

We began as strangers, many of us asking, “Ano ‘yung GAD?” We were uncertain, hesitant, and unprepared for what lay ahead. Then came the projects — demanding, relentless, challenging. Some stepped up to lead, others simply hoped to survive. But all of us learned. We found our voices. We stood our ground. We learned to fight for what we believed in.

We laughed. We got scolded. We showed up late. We crammed like there was no tomorrow.

But we were in it — together.

To those we clashed with, we offer peace.
To those we shared laughter with, thank you.
To those who remained silent, you were seen.
To those who left midway, we understand.
To those who stayed until the end — we made it.

This isn’t a fairy tale.
There’s no glitter, no perfect ending.
It’s real. It’s raw. It’s filled with what-ifs and sana.
But for one moment in time — we had each other.
We were a batch. We were a force. We were everything.

We weren’t perfect.
We weren’t the best.
But we were loud. Passionate. Resilient. Tired, but always present.

And now, it’s time to sign off.

This was Gender and Development 2024–2025.
Goodbye, GAD.
Goodbye, batchmates.
This is the last time our names will appear on the same page — as one.

We were not just students.
We were advocates.
We were GADvocates.

March 1: A Month for Women, A Month of Power

Imagine a world without women—no mothers, no sisters, no leaders, no visionaries. Unthinkable, isn’t it? Women shape societies, drive progress, and inspire change every single day. As we step into March, we celebrate Women’s Month—a time to honor the resilience, brilliance, and contributions of every woman.

Yet, despite decades of progress, challenges persist. Inequality, inequity, discrimination, and outdated stereotypes continue to hinder women’s full potential. But here’s the undeniable truth: an empowered woman is unstoppable.

Even more powerful?

Empowered women empower society.

Lifting each other up isn’t just an act of kindness—it’s a force for change. Every girl deserves to know that her dreams are valid, her voice matters, and her potential is limitless. Because when one woman rises, she paves the way for others to follow.

So, let’s ask again: Can you imagine a world without women?

𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚: Gender and Development - VAWC Seminar 💜✨

On December 14, 2024, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 NN, Deparo High School proudly invites all Homeroom PTA Presidents to an empowering and transformative Gender and Development - VAWC Seminar. This is a chance to lead with purpose and stand for what matters most, the safety and dignity of women and children. Change begins where courage meets responsibility.

As leaders within our school community, our Homeroom PTA Presidents play a what we call, “important” role in shaping a safe, supportive, and equitable environment for every child and family. Through this seminar, we aim to deepen our understanding of gender sensitivity, equip ourselves with the tools to address violence, and collectively build a normalization of respect and compassion.

Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) is not just a problem, it is a what we say, a "hurdle" that threatens the light of every home and community. As parent leaders, you are the heart of change. May it get us to build a world where love outshines fear, and no one is silenced by violence. To care for a child is to invest in tomorrow. Justice delayed is humanity denied. The future is watching, what will we choose to leave behind?

Protecting one life is protecting the future of many!

See you there as we take the first step towards meaningful action! 💪💜

𝙏𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙨 𝙣𝙖 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙀𝙭𝙖𝙢! 𝙋𝙖𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖 𝙈𝙪𝙣𝙖, 𝙏𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙨 𝙇𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙣 𝙐𝙡𝙞𝙩.

Pagkatapos ng mahabang pagsusulit, nandito ka na sa wakas. Hindi mo na kailangang umupo nang matagal, magbilang ng minuto, o magpatintero sa oras habang sinusubukang intindihin kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng tanong na "Find X." (Kung nahanap mo man siya, sana masaya kayo.)

Ang pagsusulit, ika nga, ay parang buhay. May mga tanong na kayang sagutin agad, may mga kailangang pag-isipan, at may mga tanong na kahit bali-baliktarin mo ang papel, walang sagot na mahanap. Pero ganun talaga, diba? Hindi naman laging may sagot ang lahat. Minsan, sapat nang alam mong sinubukan mo.

Ngayong tapos na ang exam, tandaan, ang marka, hindi yan ang basehan kung sino ka at kung hanggang saan ang kaya mong marating. Ang mahalaga, hindi ka sumuko. Kahit napupuyat, kahit nangangarag, kahit gusto mo nang sumigaw ng "Ayoko na!" nandito ka pa rin. Laban lang, sabi nga nila.

𝙋𝙖𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖 𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙖

Ngayon, oras na para magpahinga. Isipin mo ang sarili mong parang cellphone. Kapag drained, hindi ka na gumagana nang maayos. Recharge. Matulog ka nang mahimbing, kumain ka ng paborito mong pagkain, at manood ng series na ilang araw nang nasa watchlist mo. Hindi ka makina. Tao ka. Kailangan mong mag-recharge para muling lumakas.

𝙇𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙣 𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙩

Pero pagkatapos ng pahinga, huwag mong kalimutang bumangon ulit. Ang buhay ay serye ng mga pagsusulit, hindi lang sa papel kundi sa araw-araw. Minsan, ikaw ang tanong, minsan, ikaw ang sagot. Pero anuman ang hamon, kaya mong lampasan.

Kaya sa mga tulad mong nakatapos na ng exam, ito ang tandaan,

𝙋𝙖𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖 𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙖, 𝙩𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙨 𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙣 𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙩.

08/12/2024

𝘼𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙡, 𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙪𝙩𝙞 𝙠𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙞 𝙥𝙖𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙡𝙖 𝙣𝙖 𝙠𝙖𝙝𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙞𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜 𝙖𝙮 𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙝𝙞𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙣 𝙙𝙞𝙣!

I-share mo na ang blessed parol na ito, pero tandaan.. kahit magdasal ka buong gabi, kung 'di ka mag-aaral, malabo kang magningning sa exam. Prayer works, oo, pero 'wag mong kalimutan na nasa gawa ang sagot.. literal na gawaing papel! Kaya share na, aral na, at baka sakaling umabot ang liwanag ng Pasko sa iyong sagutang papel!

𝙀𝙓𝘼𝙈 𝙉𝘼 𝘽𝙐𝙆𝘼𝙎!

Masasabing, isang pagkakataon na patunayan ang ating mga natutunan, pati na rin ang ating katatagan. At tulad ng ibang mahahalagang aspeto ng buhay, hindi ito magiging madali. Pero alam ko, makakaya natin.

Habang abala tayo sa pag-aaral, sanay na ang isip natin sa mga bagay na higit pa, mga tanong na hindi kailanman nasasagot, mga pag-aalinlangan na hindi nawawala, at mga pangarap na patuloy na umaasa sa tamang pagkakataon. Pero, sa kabila ng lahat ng ito, hindi natin nakikita ang isang mahalagang aspeto ng buhay..

ang tiwala.

Kasi minsan, kahit gaano pa tayo ka-handa, hindi lahat ng bagay ay may kasiguraduhan. Walang ibang pag-asa kundi magtiwala, sa ating sarili, sa ating kakayahan, at sa proseso.

At sa buhay, hindi lang ikaw ang may mga tanong, ako rin, tayo rin. At kaya’t nandiyan ang paghihintay, sa tamang sagot, sa tamang pagkakataon, at sa tamang pagkilos.

“Hala walang Goodluck niya” sabi nga nila. Pero malay mo, gaya ng paghihintay mo sa exam, ganun din kayo.. naghihintayan kung sino ang unang gagalaw ng baso, kung sino ang unang babati, kung sino ang unang magpapakita ng kanilang nararamdaman. Minsan, mas mahirap pa ang maghintay kaysa gumawa ng aksyon. Pero gaya ng pagsusulit, alam natin na darating ang sagot. Pagtitiwala lang.
