Babag National High School strengthens its commitment to nurturing confident and capable readers through its partnership with Lapu-Lapu City College (LLCC) during the MOA Signing and Orientation for the Filipino and English BRIGHT Project and the second-year ARAL Reading Program on August 13, 2026. The collaboration brings together educators, reading tutors, and student volunteers to provide meaningful support to learners who need additional reading intervention. Through the dedication of LLCC students, Young Linguists Society (YLS) volunteers, and school personnel, the initiative reflects a shared commitment to improving reading skills, strengthening comprehension, and building learnersโ€™ confidence. More than a partnership, the initiative opens new pages of opportunity, empowering learners to read with greater confidence and move toward a brighter future.

The Bell continues to ring as the young journalists of Babag National High School step forward, ready to turn their pens, lenses, and voices into instruments of truth.

Through a series of The Bell training sessions, aspiring campus journalists underwent intensive learning and preparation designed to sharpen their skills, strengthen their journalistic judgment, and deepen their understanding of responsible campus journalism.

From gathering facts and crafting compelling stories to capturing meaningful moments and delivering information with accuracy, each session became a step toward becoming better storytellers.

After demonstrating their dedication, creativity, and commitment throughout the training and selection process, the qualified journalists have earned their place to represent Babag National High School in the next stage of campus journalism.

Their qualification is more than a recognitionโ€”it is a responsibility. As they carry The Bell with them, may they continue to write with courage, report with integrity, and uphold the principles of truth, accuracy, fairness, and accountability.

The Bell has rung.
Now, let their stories be heard. ๐Ÿ””โœ๏ธ

Congratulations, campus journalists! May your words inform, your stories inspire, and your voices create meaningful change in the community.

Keep the Bell Ringing.

From its rich cultural traditions to its continued development, Cebu Province celebrates another milestone as it marks its 457th Founding Anniversary today, August 6, 2026.

Recognized as one of the country's oldest provinces, Cebu has long served as a center of history, trade, education, and culture in the Visayas. Throughout the years, it has remained a symbol of resilience and progress while preserving the traditions that define Cebuano identity.

In observance of the anniversary, a Special Non-Working Holiday is being celebrated across the province, including its component cities and municipalities. Various commemorative activities are also being held to honor Cebu's historical significance and contributions to the nation's development.

As the province reflects on more than four centuries of growth, the celebration serves as a reminder that Cebu's greatest strength lies not only in its past, but also in the people who continue to shape its future with unity, innovation, and pride.

Babag National High School proudly shares the distribution of lapel microphones to all teaching personnel through the Presidential Social Fund, facilitated by the Schools Division of Lapu-Lapu City.

The provision of these instructional devices will enhance classroom communication, promote greater student engagement, and support more effective teaching and learning activities.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to everyone whose dedication and support made this meaningful initiative possible. Together, we continue to invest in our educators and create better learning experiences for every Babagueรฑo!

Babag National High School (BNHS) implements early dismissal of classes today, July 31, 2026, following the advisory of Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Cindi King-Chan amid the Yellow Rainfall Warning issued by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

The directive follows the advisory of the City Government of Lapu-Lapu ordering all public and private schools in the city to dismiss classes early in consideration of the safety and welfare of learners, teachers, and school personnel.

Parents and guardians are advised to coordinate with the school regarding dismissal arrangements and ensure the safe travel of learners amid the changing weather conditions.

The Lapu-Lapu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO), together with other concerned agencies, continues to monitor the weather situation and remains prepared to respond to possible emergencies.

The school community is urging to remain vigilant and monitor official weather updates from PAGASA and advisories from local authorities.

Parents, learners, and the entire Babag National High School community are assured that there is no confirmed gun-shooting threat directed toward the school, as the circulating message was mistakenly interpreted as a threat against Babag NHS and caused unnecessary concern among the school community.

We understand the concern this may have caused. However, everyone is encouraged to remain calm and assured of their safety, as school authorities continue to coordinate with the proper authorities and maintain security around the school.

Please rely only on verified announcements from the school and authorized government agencies and refrain from sharing unverified information that may cause unnecessary fear.

We sincerely appreciate the continued trust, vigilance, and cooperation of our parents, students, faculty, staff, and stakeholders as we work together to keep our campus safe.

For every generation, freedom finds a way to be heard. Within school walls, it echoes through articles, editorials, and stories that give voice to student experiences and perspectives. As National Campus Press Freedom Day is observed, student publications stand as a testament to the enduring power of truth, responsibility, and expression.

Yet beyond the pages and printed headlines are student storytellers whose dedication keeps conversations alive and communities informed. Through their words, the spirit of press freedom continues to endure.

In view of the ashfall resulting from the moderately explosive eruption of Mt. Kanlaon on July 9, 2026, classes in all public and private schools in Lapu-Lapu City are suspended.

To help protect your health and ensure your safety, please observe the following measures:

โ€ข Wear a properly fitted face mask at all times while outdoors to minimize the inhalation of fine volcanic ash.

โ€ข Wash hands, face, and other exposed skin thoroughly after returning indoors, and change into clean clothing to remove accumulated ash.

โ€ข Keep classroom and household windows and doors closed whenever possible to prevent volcanic ash from entering enclosed spaces.

โ€ข Maintain adequate hydration and immediately report any respiratory discomfort, persistent coughing, or eye irritation to a teacher, school personnel, or parent/guardian.

Learners and parents are encouraged to monitor official announcements from the school, the Local Government Unit of Lapu-Lapu City, and other authorized government agencies for further updates regarding class resumption and additional safety advisories.
