<h2><strong>MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS</strong></h2>
<p><strong>By: Rhelyn Espiloy and Geriz Francisco</strong></p>
<p>Problems are inevitable part of our life, as the problems
file us up. We often felt and asked ourselves if "are we
worthy?" "Why my life does turns out like this?" or “do I
deserve to be treated like this?”It looks like a simple
question yet it brings a great impact in our whole being
and wrecking our will to continue the path of life
Dr. Henry Cocoy DR. Nacpil, Rpm, RGC, PhD share his
knowledge and expertise on the 10th day of November
year 2023 held at the main campus of Asia Pacific
College of Business and Arts. He discussed a lot of
techniques on how to deal with the problems we've been
encountered and will be encountering in our daily lives,
highlighting the three most important things in dealing
the problem we have. First, through the connection of
our Mighty God. He explained a lot of things regarding
to the positive feedback's we can achieve by having a
close connection on him. Second, observe. Observing
the people around you, can also be a great help. By doing
so, one might understand the reason why does that person
do that kind of a thing. Third, Timing. Finding the right
timing can make the atmosphere more comfortable for
the individual when opening themselves towards their
family, friends, or to anyone whom they made an
argument. Furthermore, he also encouraged the students
to open up when encountering problems in life. Helping
us to realize that we do not live in a deserted island
where we only live by our own, he shows us by using his
words that we can always seek and ask for help to others.
Caging yourself with that heavy feeling will never be a
<br><br>
Dr. Henry Cocoy deliberately give time for the students of
APCBA to asked him for a guidance regarding about the
things that they we’re wary about. Either, it is a problem
concerning to their families or even to their emotions that
feels being invalidated when opening their self to others,
and how will an individual will know whether someone is
already have an anxiety or depression. When they know
their self well that they are fine enough? Those kinds of
question are what the students frequently asked while
having Dr. Cocoy as their mental health advisor. With his
knowledge and experiences he was able to give a
satisfactory answer to the questions thrown upon him. He
also been able to give some tips and techniques to the
students of APCBA in dealing to that kind of situation
The discussion last for at least 3 hours, yet
brings a great realization to the students who are
experiencing the storm of life and made them realize that
after the storm they are facing right now, it will certainly
have a better tomorrow, a better tomorrow wherein
rainbows will set upon the clouds, giving the radiance and
colors to their colorless life.
The lessons, knowledge, and wisdom that
bestowed upon us APCBA students will forever be remain
in our hearts. This seminar became the light in the dark
path of our life.

<h2><strong>Expression or Uniformity?</strong></h2>
<p><strong>By: Sheena Nicole C. Mendoza</strong></p>
<p>School dress code is one of the most
controversial topics that is often brought up
in a debate or discussion. The conflict is
always between the expression and
uniformity of the students. But first, what
is the dress code? The dress code is a
common policy in school that students
must obey.
This means students are required to wear
uniforms unless it is civilian clothes day or
P.E. day.
Having a proper dress code in
school gives equality and fairness to each
student. It can help to lessen the worry and
peer pressure of students before going to
school. For example, some
students say these things:
“I don’t know what to wear anymore.”
“I think my clothes are not suitable in school.”
“I am scared people will judge me if they saw me
wearing something like this.”
Now, if all students wear the same attire, they won't have
to worry anymore because everyone will look similar.
<br><br>
Furthermore, LGBTQ+ in Asia Pacific College
of Business and Arts has been approved to wear
uniforms based on the gender they are acknowledging.
They are free to cross the suitable clothes for gender as
long as they are not violating the dress codes.
According to Pasoquin, J. (2020), “Students
are generally identified about their level of education and
affiliation from their uniform or a formal dress for ages.”
Having a dress code can have such significance for a
student. A student can be easily recognized by which
school they are at. In case of an emergency, people can
basically identify a student by the uniform they are
wearing. In which can help provide necessary
information. Dress codes also help to identify which
students are classified depending on the dress code that
the school administrator sets. For example, the level of
education they are in have a different color of uniform.

<h2><strong>WORLD TEACHER’S DAY</strong></h2>
<p><strong>By:Sheena Nicole Mendoza</strong></p>
<p>
World Teacher’s Day is celebrated annually
on the 5th of October. This
international event is a tribute to all
educators for their unwavering
hard work and perseverance in teaching. Asia Pacific College
of Business and Arts teachers should not only honor the ways
in which they revolutionizing the field of education, but also
consider the assistance that they require to properly utilize the
students’ determination and dreams in life.
At Asia Pacific College of Business and Arts
(APCBA), the celebration took place on October 6, 2023, for a
specific reason. On Friday morning, students expressed
appreciation and gratitude to every APCBA teacher by
surprising them with flowers, handmade gifts, crochets, letters,
cakes, chocolates, certificates of appreciation, and various
gifts. Based on the teachers' reactions, they seemed touched by
the students' efforts and expressed their thanks.
<br><br>
In the afternoon, all the teachers gathered at
Dentofarm Resort, especially the APCBA teachers. This was
to celebrate Teacher’s Day with our beloved mayor, Mayor
Trina Andres, who held the event. “The celebration was truly
enjoyable, featuring games. Mayor Trina also gave us a token
of appreciation for every teacher. I had a delightful time at
Dentofarm,” said Ma'am Marimark.
On Teacher’s Day or even a normal day, let us
always reflect on the invaluable contributions of educators in
shaping minds and inspiring futures. As we express gratitude
for their tireless dedication, let's remember that the impact of a
teacher extends far beyond the classroom, leaving an enduring
mark on generations to come.

<h2><strong>Remembering Ma’am Hannah</strong></h2>
<p><strong>By: Rhelyn Rashmin V. Espiloy and Gheriez F. Bajet</strong></p>
<p>
Do you still remember the happy-go-lucky teacher?
Just like a river that flows down to the alley,
the memories and contribution of Asia Pacific College
of Business and Arts very own Ma’am Hannah G.
Sotes flashes like a thunderstorm raging in the ears
and memories of the sweet yesterday. Ma’am Hannah,
a kind, loving, considerate and awesome teacher, coworker, friend, sister, and daughter still lingers in the
hearts and minds of everyone she encountered during
her short but blissful, well-lived life.
<br><br>
To Her Former Students, the Asianites
In almost a year that had passed, the smiling
face and warm aura that Ma’am Sotes possessed gave
joy and hope to her beloved Asianites she taught.
When asked, her students referred to her as someone
who you can rely on, the one who you can open up to,
and the one who would stand by your side the moment
you feel that the world is against you. She will
definitely be there by your side, willing to extend her
arms in order to help you in overcoming and defeating
those strange thoughts and feelings you have seldom.
Certainly, encouraging and helping the
students became her forte without her knowing it.
"Siya yung tipo ng titser na ip-push ka n'ya na
ipakita yung talent na meron ka, talent na akala
mo wala ka, pero meron pala at hindi mo lang ‘yon
nalalaman," stated by her former college student in APCBA.
<br><br>
With her words and stares that carry no judgement
but simple care and love that once brimmed into those
beautiful eyes of hers, lifted and motivated the students to
believe in themselves, because each of them is blessed with
gifts that they need to discover, explore, and develop.
In addition, the moment the students started
describing what kind of a person Ma’am Hannah was, one
could see the sparks in their eyes; the way they lit up
together with the joy it reflected while they were talking
about her. “Kapag kasama mo siya, ang gaan sa feeling. Ang
gaan kase alam mo na hindi ka niya idya-judge kundi
palalakasin niya pa yung loob mo,”.

<h2><strong>The Unexpected Passing of a Basketball Rising Star</strong></h2>
<p><strong>By: Janna Arabela S. Mauro</strong></p>
<p>"A beautiful heart with
a beautiful soul" – this is how Joshua B. Moran described John
Lloyd Palma, his classmate and best friend. “Bentong”, as what
many called him, was the kind of person, who was always happy
and full of humor. According to Moran, with just few jokes from
him, one can laugh uncontrollably. He was cheerful, fond
of laughing and joking with his teachers and classmates,
and most importantly – kind.
Aside from these, John Lloyd was a good
cousin, a polite nephew, but above all, a loving and caring
only child to Mrs. Julieta Palma, a single parent and an
overseas Filipino worker.
<br><br>
Palma was a resident of Poblacion Centro,
Rizal, Nueva Ecija and a 21-year-old 2nd Year Diploma in
Hospitality and Tourism Technology regular student at
Asia Pacific College of Business and Arts.
As a student, John Lloyd was a comic one.
Joshua shared that even when their teacher was in class or
discussing in front, Palma was secretly eating on his seat.
In the field of basketball, as a usual Most
Valuable Player (MVP) awardee, Bentong was a
prominent basketball figure not only to Rizaleňos but to
other basketball enthusiasts and fans from other towns,
for he was one of the basketball players who represented
the municipality of Rizal in intertown basketball cups
such as Mayor Kokoy Salvador Basketball League.
It was where he acquired a lot friends with
whom he can confide his problems in life, for basketball
was where most of his life revolved,
but it was also the reason his life that was full of
dreams and potentials was cut short.
<br><br>
On November 12, 2023 at around 6:00-7:00PM,
Bentong was riding his motorcycle to Cabucbucan to play
basketball. Like the usual, he was with his friends and teammates.
However, while they were traversing the dark
portion of Calaocan-Cabucbucan road along hectares after
hectares of rice fields, an overspeeding motorcycle crashed
into John Lloyd Palma. The drunk driver was dead on the
spot, because of the impact. Bentong, on the other hand, was
hit gravely hit on his head but still conscious and gasping for his dear life.
The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Office (MDRRMO) personnel of Rizal
responded immediately on the situation and rushed Palma to
the nearest hospital in Cabanatuan City. Unfortunately, John
Lloyd did not make it. They lost him on the way in
Pinagpanaan, Talavera.

<h2><strong>Opportunity for TESDA graduates</strong></h2>
<p><strong>By: Rolly Limos</strong></p>
<p>Nitong taong 2023 ay may halos 310 na libreng
skills training na isinagawa sa APCBA main campus at
APCBA Bongabon Campus. Ang mga scholarship
program na naibahagi ay mula sa Universal Access to
Quality Tertiary Education Act na may kabuoang 225,
Training for Work Scholarship Program na may bilang na
35 at Special Training for Employment Program na may halos 50 scholar.
Kung ating paghahambingin ang bilang nang
naipamahaging TESDA program sa nagdaang taon ay
masasabi na mas marami ang sa taong ito dahil kung
susumahin ay nadagdagan ng 95 na mga scholar mula sa
dating 215 TESDA scholar. Sa pagdami ng benepisyo sa
scholarship na ito ay mas maraming mamamayan ang
maaring magkaroon ng trabaho, at ayon nga sa datos ng
TESDA - Central Luzon ay 8 sa 10 TESDA graduate ay
agad na natatanggap sa trabaho hindi lang dito sa Pilipinas
kundi pati sa ibang bansa kaya marami sa kababayang
Rizaleno at kalapit bayan nito ay hindi pinapalagpas ang
pagkakataong makakuha ng programang ito.
<br><br>
Samantala, marami parin ang hirap makahanap
ng trabaho kahit sila ay graduate na sa TESDA ngunit kung
paghuhusayan at magtityaga ay tiyak na makakahanap ng
maayos na trabaho, sabi nga ng marami “nasa Diyos ang
awa, nasa tao ang gawa”. Ayon nga sa TESDA bagamat
hindi ito direktang nagbibigay ng employment
opportunities sa mga graduates, may mga programa naman
itong inilulunsad na naglalayong makatulong sa mga
graduates nito na nangangailangan ng trabaho o livelihood,
tulad na lamang ng world cafe of opportunities at ang 911
TESDA. Ang APCBA ay dinadagsa parin ng mga
mamamayan upang makapag-aral at mapaunlad ang
kakayan, isa rin sa dahilan ng pagdagsa ay ang malapit
sakanila ang paaralan na hindi na kailangang mag-aral ng
TESDA sa malayong bayan.

<h2><strong>Rice Prices Ceiling</strong></h2>
<p><strong>By: Andrea D. Garote</strong></p>
<p>
I am the student who has been given a chance to speak of what I
feel. We are an adults, open our eyes though ears.
Rice price ceiling is usually
authorized by the government to make affordable for
the consumers. We should not only see the one side of
this issue, because producers will be more affected
in this price ceiling.
Yes, price ceiling will limit cost of
consumers and it keeps things affordable but cannot we
see the cons of this action. They may have not produce
as much, causing more shortages. Some are able to
force out of business if they cannot realize a reasonable
benefit on their goods.
Farmers, too, will be hurt by the price
ceilings. Unable to have their rice sold in markets
because of rising costs ( farm-gate is already at or near
P20 per kilo), they themselves may choose to stop
planting rice. Alternatively, they may cut corners or
produce cheap but bad-quality rice.
August 31, 2023, amid skyrocketing rice
prices, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
<br><br>
issued an executive order imposing mandatory price
ceilings on rice. Started on September 5, retailers
must sell regular-milled rice at no more than P41
per kilo and well-milled rice at no more than P45 per kilo.
Doing otherwise will be illegal. In fact, violators face
hefty penalties: they can be imprisoned for “less than a year”
and be fined anywhere from P5,000 to P1 million.
Seeing the unsustainability of this, many retailers may eventually
choose to exit the market and not sell any rice at
all. In fact, some retailers are threatening to do so as early as now.
Why is it price ceiling have to be apply only on the rice (crops)
area? How about limit the cost for the agricultural
products such as insecticides and fertilizers because this is one
of the reason why farmers suffered from financial losses.
The money was spent on the fertilizer did not return because of
the low price of rice. And I think limit the cost of
agricultural products will be the answer in this problem.
