𝗣𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗴 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲?! 👀
𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗻𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗘𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗶𝗴 𝗞𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗮𝗻!

⸝⸝ This is it pancit! It’s time to meet the newly elected officers of TEENDig Kabataan for S.Y. 2026–2027. ☆˚࿔

Leadership begins when young people choose to show up for others, to listen when voices feel unheard, and to stand as steady support when things get heavy. In spaces where everything feels fast and loud, may our leaders keep building rooms where learners feel safe, valued, and understood. 🫧
Luh, nosebleed ako! (⸝⸝˃ ་། ˂⸝）

To our newly elected officers, push n’yo ’yan! This journey won’t always be easy, pero tandaan na hindi kailangang maging si Jopay ang isang tao para kumustahin ang kapwa n’yo learner. Sometimes, a simple “kakampi mo ’ko” o “kumusta ka, fellow yearner?” can already turn silence into something softer and lighter. ‧₊˚ 🪽. ⊹

There will be days na para bang—ang daming mabibigat na responsibilities. May moments din na over naman sa dami ng gagawin. Pero may bukas pa. May pagkakataon pa para matuto, bumawi, at mas maging totoo bilang mga lider na marunong makinig at umunawa. ( っ˶´ ˘ `)っ

Kaya sa mga officers, advocates, at members, nandito tayo hindi lang para mag-participate, pero para mag-stand up, speak out, at mag-serve with purpose para sa school community na may puso at direksyon. ₊˚⊹ ❤️ ‘Yung tipong dapat kuhang-kuha n’yo talaga kami sa kagustuhan n’yong maglingkod at gumawa ng makabuluhang saysay sa komunidad na may puso at koneksyon! 𐦂𖨆𐀪𖠋

Congratulations to our newly elected officers! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )
A year begins not as a title, but as a responsibility carried in silence, in action, and in every choice to serve when it is easier to step back. May your leadership echo in the lives you touch, in the voices you uplift, and in the spaces you choose to protect. 🗣️˒﹚) ᵎᵎ

Hindi na ’ko gagamit ng Google kasi nang makita ko kayong officer, the search is over! 🔍✨

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐳𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 🧠

Every May 24, World Schizophrenia Day is observed to raise awareness and deepen public understanding of schizophrenia, a serious mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, behaves, and perceives reality. This global observance highlights the importance of early intervention, proper treatment, community support, and the promotion of mental health awareness free from stigma and discrimination.

Schizophrenia is often misunderstood due to misinformation and negative stereotypes. Through education and open conversations, communities can help create safer and more supportive spaces for individuals living with the condition. Awareness plays a vital role in encouraging empathy, recognizing early signs, and promoting access to mental health services and support systems.

On this World Schizophrenia Day, let us continue to strengthen mental health advocacy by choosing understanding over judgment and compassion over stigma. Every individual deserves dignity, support, and the opportunity to live in a community that values mental wellness and inclusivity.

Let us break misconceptions and keep the conversation on mental health alive.

The TEENDig Kabataan Advocates, in collaboration with school stakeholders, took part in the Commemorative Candle Lighting Ceremony for HIV/AIDS Awareness, aligned with the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial. This global observance honors lives lost to HIV/AIDS, supports those living with the condition, and reinforces efforts to reduce stigma while strengthening education, prevention, and awareness.

The activity highlighted the shared responsibility in promoting adolescent health awareness and building informed, compassionate communities. The candle lighting served as a collective act of remembrance, solidarity, and continued commitment to HIV/AIDS advocacy.

The program featured TEENDig Nurse Wilinda E. Paz as resource speaker, who discussed key points on HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention, and the importance of regular testing, together with ETTMNIHS School Head Donato A. Bataclan, OIC Assistant School Principal Ryan V. Castillo, and the MAPEH Department.
