| Finals Week Na Pala!?

Collegians, this is it—the boss level of the semester! All those late-night reviewer marathons, caffeine-fueled study sessions, and “just one more page” promises have led to this epic showdown.

So grip that bar like it’s your GPA, hold that megaphone like your last brain cell, and channel your inner Tracy energy:
“Goin’ back to RCI just to get that pasadong finals cuuuutttiiieee… Maui wowie!”

Good luck! May your answers be sharp, your pens never run dry, and your snacks never run out.

𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐄 | Pax Christi Choir rekindles Christmas spirit anew

Laughter, music, and the warm glow of Christmas filled the Sacred Heart Seminary and Shrine in Bacolod City as Riverside College’s Pax Christi Choir opened its concert with a vivid celebration of unity and giving under the theme “PAXko: Promise to Aspire through Xymphony of Karols and Oneness," December 7.

"The main purpose of organizing this year’s “PAXko” Christmas concert was to share hope, light, and meaning with the community through music while raising funds for a charitable cause," Aaliyah Genielle Tan said, Program Co-Head of the event.

The program began with an opening prayer and national anthem, followed by lively performances such as “African Noel,” “Rejoice! Christ Is Born,” and “Waka Waka” that energized the audience with themes of hope and togetherness.

Classic carols including “Carol of the Bells” and “Joy to the World” highlighted the choir’s harmony and emotional expression.

Moreover, songs like “Paraiso” and “Upuan” deepened the message of compassion by reflecting on kindness and community.

"A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Domus Dei Hospice, a home for retired and ailing priests, making the concert not only a musical celebration but also a concert for a cause aimed at supporting those who have served the Church," Tan further stated.

Organizers also emphasized that PAXko stands for Promise, Aspire, Xymphony, Karols, and Oneness—values meant to revive the Filipino Christmas spirit.

The concert reaffirmed Riverside College’s commitment to excellence, integrity, and service through music performed anew.

𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐋 | "Ang tao, ang bayan ngayon ay lumalaban! Lahat ng sangkot, dapat managot!", ang sigaw ng mga rallyista.

Umulan ng pula't puti ang lansangan ng Bacolod bilang pagpupugay sa ika-162 na kaarawan ni Andres Bonifacio na naging simbolo ng pagkakaisa't pakikibaka sa isang protesta kontra korapsyon at anomalya sa gobyerno, Nobyembre 30.

Kasama si Atty. Renee Co, kinatawan ng Kabataan Partylist, sa libu-libong aktibong nakilahok protesta na binubuo ng iba't ibang sektor at grupo ng mga manggagawa, estudyante, parokya, civil rights groups, at ng mga sibilyan

"Ang mga magsasaka natin kailangan makipag-kompetensya sa mas mabababang presyo ng palay sa ibang bansa. Ang ending—gutom ang ating mga magsasaka. Ang mangingisda natin nakikipagkompetensya sa mga commercial fishing vessels, sa fish na iniimport sa ibang bansa dahil kulang sa suporta sa atin—dito sa Pilipinas. Ang mga manggagawa natin na kakarampot na minimum wage, ang mga kabataan kailangan libo-libo ang nilalabas para mag-aral—pagka-graduate lalabas ng bansa dahil walang trabaho sa Pilipinas," saad ni Co.

Kabilang sa kanilang panawagan ang transparency sa mga pampublikong imprastraktura, buong pagsisiwalat ng badyet at kontrata ng gobyerno, at mas mahigpit na pagmomonitor sa mga local development projects.

Dagdag pa niya, "Hindi ito ang kinabukasang gusto natin—gusto natin ng kinabukasan na ang batayang serbisyo panlipunan. May pondo, na hindi tayo nanlilimos sa ating mga kongresista, ng guarantee letter para lang may ipang-sagot sa mga gamot. Gusto natin ng mga oportunidad na maayos at hindi napuwe-puwersa na tayo maging underemployed dahil walang oportunidad."

Nagsimula ang martsa at pagtitipon sa Sacred Heart Seminary and Shrine at Capitol Park and Lagoon patungong Bacolod City Plaza.
