Brothers and Sisters (Siblings)
By Teacher Jayme


In Philippines, we usually call our older siblings "Kuya" for an older brother and "Ate" for an older sister while, for our younger siblings, we simply call them by their names or say "Inday or Dai” (younger sister) and “Dodong or Dong” (younger brother). These terms show the close family values and respect that are important in Filipino culture.

One of my favorite childhood memories is playing outside together until sunset, creating simple games with our neighbors and siblings. Another cherished memory is eating meals together and celebrating birthdays, Christmas, and New Year's at home. We would laugh, share stories, and enjoy each other's company. These simple moments are the memories I treasure the most.

In the end, having seven siblings has made my life more meaningful. They have taught me the importance of love, responsibility, teamwork, and forgiveness. No matter where life takes us, I know that my brothers and sisters will always be one of my greatest sources of strength and happiness.

Marathon
By Teacher Rose 



Running is my go-to for reducing stress and improving my sleep quality. Plus, it’s incredibly cost-effective. Since I’m an early bird, I usually head out for a jog or run early in the morning on my days off.

I’ve also participated in our city’s premier annual marathon, which features 6 km, 12 km, 21 km, and 42 km races. So far, I’ve registered for both the 12 km and 21 km events. It’s always a memorable experience because it gives me a chance to explore new places and meet new people. The first time I signed up, I was a mix of pure excitement and nerves. The second time around, those same feelings returned, but with an extra dose of motivation.

As I approached the end of the race, it hit me: running is a lot like life. No matter what challenges or problems we face, we shouldn't give up. Life must go on despite the surrounding negativity. If we stay positive and keep pushing forward, something rewarding always awaits us at the end.

What about you? What’s your marathon story? 😊

A past time of ritual of return in Mt. Kanlaon
By Teacher Katie 



We left our house in Tisa and drove as a family to Toledo Port. From there, we boarded the boat for a two‑hour ride. I stood by the rail, the horizon opening ahead. I was finally coming home. I can still see that day as vividly as yesterday, made unforgettable by Mt. Kanlaon’s presence in the distance.

Mt. Kanlaon holds a significant place in both geography and memory. Rising to 2,465 meters (8,087 feet), it is the highest peak in Central Visayas. The mountain lies within the protected Mt. Kanlaon National Park, itself a sanctuary of biodiversity. The mountain is not only majestic but also volatile. It is classified as highly active. It is marked by eruptions, earthquakes, and gas emissions over the years. It feels as though the mountain carries something within it. A story perhaps.

I recall a local legend my Auntie once shared about Mt. Kanlaon. She told me the story of Princess Kang and Prince Laon, two lovers bound by devotion yet fated for tragedy. Fate tore them apart, and from their story the mountain rose. As she spoke, I gazed at the dark outline of the mountain in the distance. Looking back now, I realize my own story with family is intertwined with nature and Mt. Kanlaon itself. My story may be different from that of the legend, yet something remains the same: the habit of returning.

Mt. Kanlaon keeps the place, and I carry the memory. Each return becomes another legend to tell.



~重要単語~
vividly : 鮮明に
biodiversity: 生物多様性
majestic : 雄大な、荘厳な
tore : ～を引き裂いた、(｢tear｣の過去形)
intertwined :密接に繋がっている
