Byahe Patungo sa Pangarap

Panibagong byahe na naman ang nag-aabang,
Tila kailan lang, hirap pa tayong makipagsiksikan sa daan.
Bitbit ang pangarap at pusong lumalaban,
Makaraos lamang at makarating sa patutunguhan.

Subalit lahat ng pagod ay unti-unti nang nagbubunga,
Bawat puyat at hirap ay may saysay na tinatamasa.
Kaunting tiyaga na lamang at malapit na sa ginhawa,
Pangarap na minimithi’y unti-unti nang nadarama.

Handa ka na bang muling bumiyahe?
Makikipagsiksikan at kakapit kung kinakailangan, patungong NEUST.
Mapagod man ang isip at katawan sa hirap at pangamba,
Huwag lang masayang ang lahat ng paghihirap at pagtitiis na dala.

Sa panibagong byahe, maraming pasaherong magiging bago sa paningin,
May mga sasabay sa’yo habang kayo’y may parehong mithiin.
Mayroon ding mga pasaherong tuluyan nang bababa sa daanin,
Patungo sa bagong yugto ng kanilang sariling mithiin.

Byaheng First Year, para sa mga mag-uumpisa pa lamang.
May halong kaba at pananabik ang bawat hakbang habang marahang inaabot ang bayad, “Kuya, bayad po… freshie lang po.”

Byaheng Second Year, para sa mga unti-unti nang nasasanay sa laban.
Pagod man sa mga gawain, puyat sa mga sharing at report, at maagang nakikipagsabayan sa sakayan, nagagawa pa ring humanap ng paraan makatipid lang, “Kuya, may discount po ba? May sharing pa po kasi kami.”

Byaheng Third Year, para sa mga malayo na ang nararating ngunit mas marami pang haharapin.
Sa gitna ng sunod-sunod na pagsusulit, deadlines, at pagod sa biyahe, bitbit ang kape at mga matang halos wala nang tulog, mapapasambit na lamang,
“Kuya, huwag ka na muna magpa-gas, may super duper long long quiz pa po kasi kaming hahabulin.”

At Byaheng Fourth Year, para sa mga naghahanda nang harapin ang tunay na hamon ng buhay.
Bitbit ang kaba, pag-asa, at pangarap, buong tapang nilang sinasabi,
“Kuya, diretso na po kami sa OJT at thesis defense.”

Ano man ang byahe na iyong sasakyan,
Makakarating ka rin sa iyong paroroonan.
Tiwala lamang sa sarili at sa proseso ng daan,
Dahil bawat hakbang ay papalapit sa tagumpay na inaasam.

Padayon, SDCians! Patuloy lang sa laban,
Walang maiiwan, sabay-sabay tayong aarangkada sa ating patutunguhan.
Bitbit ang mga pangarap at tagumpay na matagal nang minimithi’t inaasam,
Hanggang marating natin ang kinabukasang para sa atin ay nakalaan.

THE POINT OF VIEW OF PROUD EYES

The silence of the NEUST halls has finally returned now that the pens are down. For three days, a quiet strength filled the air—from the first-day nerves on May 12, through the grueling hours of May 13, to the final push today, May 14.

Watching the SDCians during their exams was a masterclass in focus. The photos captured the essence of that struggle: the furrowed brows of deep thought, the steady rhythm of focused faces, and that singular moment of triumph when a student finally cracked a difficult problem. These images show more than just a test; they document the heart and soul you pour into your dreams.

Now, the heavy doors are thrown open, and the halls are alive with the sounds of relief. Congratulations on completing your final requirements; you’ve given your absolute best, SDCians. Step out into the sun with your heads held high. The stress is behind you; the rest is well-earned. Go enjoy your vacation—we look forward to seeing you return for a new chapter next year.

The work is done, the sun is out, and your futures are looking bright! :))
