Three days of celebration came to a close as Sociology students gathered for the final day of the 𝐏𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐁𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐃 𝐍𝐈𝐍 𝐁𝐔𝐂𝐒𝐒𝐏: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝟐𝟐𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐘, with departmental activities held on September 11, 2026, at the Sociology Department, 2nd Floor, Lauan Building.

The day created another opportunity for Sociology students to connect, participate, and celebrate together. Beyond the festivities, these moments brought the department closer, fostering stronger bonds and a greater sense of camaraderie among its students as they wrapped up the three-day celebration.

From loud yells to shared meals and unforgettable moments, each event became an opportunity for students to showcase their talents, cheer for their departments, and strengthen the bonds that bring the CSSP community together.

The spirit of celebration came alive as the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP) marked the beginning of its 22nd Foundation Day last September 9, 2026, at the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy, Daraga, Albay.

Kicking off the three-day festivities, Sociology students joined fellow CSSPians in a day filled with excitement, camaraderie, and school spirit. More than just the start of another year, the celebration brought together students from different departments to create moments, strengthen connections, and celebrate the community that makes CSSP what it is.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬, “𝐈’𝐦 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲”?

Behind the words we hear every day are experiences we may never fully see. The people around us, the relationships we build, and the communities we belong to can shape how we cope with difficult moments and whether we feel safe enough to ask for help. Su***de prevention reminds us that care is personal, but it is also social.

This Su***de Prevention Month, let us make space for conversations about mental health without shame or judgment. Let us take people seriously, encourage them to seek support, and help create communities where no one feels that they have to carry their struggles alone.
